MiSsouIa

Is making rapid strides in the develop
mcnt of her possibilities. The tributary
country that surrounds her is coming
into Il higher state of productiveness all
the time, and the population of the vast
area which centers i'm Missoula is be-
coming greater every week. The produce
of this great region is marketed through
Missoula, and the supplies for the entire
district are distributed through Mis-.
soula. Railway development is rapidly
placing all parts of western Montana in
close touch with this central city. The
city's business is thriving and her bust
ness men are prosperous. Missoula's
real estate is worth today twice what il
was year ago

DULL MARKET
Price Vibrations Feebls-Serious h.
 terruption of Wire Communication.

New York March 4.-The inaugura- ton of the new president was received with passive satisfaction in the finan cial district, so far as the operations in the stock market gave any surface indication. The cheers of the brokers on the floor upon the announcement of the swearing in of Mir Taft were the most tangible expressions of the pre- vailing view. The days intense dull ness was attribUTble, in no small part, to the serious interruption of wire communication with all parts of the country. The telegraphing by cable was freer than by the land lines. and for eign operations in this market, narrow as was its dimensions, were of consid- erable effect. The brightening of the Balkan situation prompted some buy ing of stocks and helped the opening show of strength here. There was an other little spurt upon the announce ment of the swearing in of the new president. For the rest, price vibrations were feeble and transactions insignifi- cant, although the market yielded weakly at the last. Money rates are ending downwards again and ready sale is still reported for new issues of railroad bonds. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, s2.2S4.000. Unit ed States bonds were unchanged on call

Wilson, Moves and Casey are the players lost and Manager Tom Con- nery will have a hard time filling tbe shoes of this quartette. But he has a fine list of players left, including Pitchers Leverenz, Evans, Sehuman, and Swanson, Catcher O'Leary, Con nery, Justice, Yancey, Cobb and Fall Ion and a strong string of recruits. Springfield will lose Powell, Standard and Hess, with Bill Yale and Mike McAndrews likely to be dropped. Bridgeport loses the familiar faces of Beaumont and New Haven will be without Pleiss, Waters.
