IT'S OUR oWN-The big bridge is
ours now: VIC have been using II for
some time. but IL was not until Friday
that the formal acceptance by the
county commissioners made 1t our own
possession. There Is a lot of satisfac-
ton In having the bridge for keeps.
WE hoped at one time TO have il i'm
time to center the Fourth of July cele-
bration about II: later. we cherished
the idea that 1t would furnish the basis
of our Thanksgiving observance: one
condition or another and sometimes
several conditions conjoined prevented
its earlier completion. but IL comes
now. none the less welcome, as an ac-
ceptable Christmas gift. II is n good
bridge. Even those who have ehafed
met impatientiy over the delay in its
construction have admitted that the
work is good. And. after all, there
has not been as much impotence over
the slow construction as might have
been expected. Missouia was notably
considerable and she is rewarded BY the
possession Of what Is as fine a bridge
as there Is anywhere in the northwest.
We hope the bridge will endure for
ever and we believe it will High

Missoula with different sensations than
ever before.

NOT IN THE FIGHT.
That Roosevelt Will Aid Insurgents,
Denied From Two Sources.

supporting the insurgents of the house
in their fight against Speaker Can

went to New York today to attend a
luncheon given in his honor by Rob-

that DR.. Abbott editor in chief of The

Roosevelt is now identified as associate
editor in their fight for parliamentary
reforms, is denounced by Lawrence f.
Abbott a son of DR.. Abbott as utterly
unfounded.

effect that he had written to Muir
dock pledging the support of the
Outlook to the plan of the in

"While the Outlook is entirely in
sympathy with this plan, there is no
truth in the report that DIR. Abbott
wrote such a letter to Mr.. Murdoch.
''The story has been circulated at
the evident intent of connecting the
former president with an editorial
published two weeks ago in the Out
look holding the course now being
pursued by the insurgents. Presid ent
Roosevelt had nothing to do with the
writing of that editorial. So far as
know he is taking no part in the
agitation over the matter.

cedure which vests practically all

The only reason for this act is de-

was only 20 years old and he had
been a familiar figure on the Paris

French Engineer Makes Experiment.

20 Paris, March 13.-M. Dibos, the
French engineer, is at present con-
English channel, which have given
rise to the hope that New York har.
Dor may ultimately be kept free or
fog. Attracted by the English expert
ments for dissipating fog by means of
electrical discharges, NJ. Dibos con-
ceived the idea of a combination of
Hertzian waves.
Beneath a powerful Hertzlan planL
which enits waves of 10000 volts he
placed four huge blow pipes directed
to the four points of the compass:
simultaneously with the discharge OF
each giving a temperature of 1000
degrees centigrade, were lighted. In
from twenty to thirty minutes thick
fog dispersed over zone of 200 yards.
Encouraged by this success the ex-
periments will be continued.
