A PECULIAR LETTER.
Under What Authority Does the
State Hotel Inspector Act As the
Agent Of certaia Firm Of
Fire.Escape Makers

Isn't it possible that Mr.. Ander-
son. the state hotel inspector, is
getting little too fast in the matter
Of the duties or alleged duties Of
his office? What right has he to
dictate to hotel-keeper as to where
he shall procure the appliances re-
quired by law? The fact is that
there is much power placed in the
hands of the inspector. and he ought
to be very careful how he exercises
it. Unless the appointee is man
thoroughly honest and absolutely
fair. the office can not only be made
the medium of persecution, but one
Of almost unlimited graft as we'll.
Following is a letter recently re-
ceived by r. r. Hogue. a hotel pro-
prietor of this city:
"A. NJ. Anderson, State Inspector
of Hotels for North Dakota. Fargo.
N. D.. July 9Th. 1909. r. r. Hogue,
Linton. N. D. Dear Sir: herewith
return you the Fire Escape Schetch.
l do not approve of this because it
shows only one platform. and if re-
member correctly you need two plat
forms. The Minneapolis firms that
makes Fire Escapes does not make
them according to our law, at least
! have not seen one made there but
what they had to change. and if you
want to be sure to have them right to
start with you better get a North
Dakota firm to make them for you.
Try Craig Bros, Fargo. N. d. They
make them right and as cheap as
any one in Minnesota.
Yours truly,

WASHINGTON NEWS
THE MissouLIAN's SPECIAL SERVICE

Washington, July a.--During the
debate on hides in the senate,
Senator Dixon inquired of one
of the free hders' what was
the motto of those gentlemen who are
asking protection on leather and
shoes and at the same time asking
for free hides and to put an
additional charge of a fifth of a cent
d pound on the consumers of beef?
Senator Warren of Wyoming, who
spoke against the hide duty, replied
that they had mangled both truth
and sentiment so much that my mind
is not clear on the subject"
Mr.. Dixon questioned the southern
senators sharply on the pineapple
duty. WAS there any production of
pineapples in Florida until the Ding
ley law" asked Senator Dixon of
Senator Taliaferro of Florida. The
reply was that Florida produced 1oo,
out by further questions that be-
cause of the Dingley protective
duties on pineapples their production
has been increased to 100000 crates
last year. In further reply to MI.
Dixon Senator Taliaferro said that
the present rate of duty tended to
develop very largely the industry in
Cuba. Then. said Senator Dixon, he
would not vote for an increased duty
if the production was to gain in
Cuba, as it's only effect would be to
no or 80, IN,
country.

About the best and handiest map Of
the Fathead reservation vet published
is that just issued by James H. and
Frank Bonner. the compilers The
map alone is over two feet square and
is as complete and up to date as pos
sible. On it there are shown the seven

dian allotments, agricultural and graz
ing lands, water courses and valleys,
and the new buffalo reserve. The rail-
road lines are also shown. The map
was compiled from the best and latest

without peer, since no other map of
the reservation shows the Indian allot-
ments. The map is issued in a folder
and makes a handy reference book.
The folder contains information about
the F'lathead reservation and how to
file for the opening. 1t also has a
time table of the Northern Pacific,

isis THEATER OPENS
AUSP|C|OUSLY
LARGE AUDIENCES ATTEND THE
FIRST PERFORMANCES AT
THE NEW HOUSE.

The most ambitious hopes of the
management of the Isis theater were
far exceeded by the actualities last
evening, when the new amusement
place was thrown open to the public.
The Isis is undoubtedly the most elab-
crate institution of its sort in Mis-
soula, and the fact that it's 900 seats
We're filled at each of the perform
ances of the opening night speaks we'll
of it's popularity to come. The Isis is
unique among the moving picture
shows of Missoula in that it has the
chronograph an ingenious contrivance
that talks and sings to accompany The
moving pictures it shows. The illu-
sion is so nearly perfect that the Isis
is sure to have a successful career,
even without the drawing powers of
its other attractions.
There is another moving picture ma
chine at the Isis, besides the chrono-
graph. and it is one of the best made
The pictures shown at the Isis last
evening We're clear and perfect, with
out flicker or any perceptible mo-
ton suggesting the mechanical. A
four-pece orchestra has an important
part in the Isis program

finely" said Manager l.. w. Norman
last evening, and we packed em In
at every performance. We have some
thing that is absolutely new in Mis-
soula and have tried hard to make the
Isis as attractive as possible. 1t wi !
be the policy of the house to cater 20
the higher taste of the amusement-
loving part of Missoula's people: to
give clean, wholesome entertainment
at all times
The management of the Isis has or
dered four 16inch fans from the east
an dthese failed to arrive in time for
the opening performance. AS a cor
sequence it was found necessary to
use smaller fans for the first night
but the larger ones will be here toner

will then be perfect.

He didn't hear the sermon at all, but
he could tell when it was over by
seeing the young minister fold up his
manuscript and put it away. This
done, the young man began to make
announcements. Ihud raised his right

AS the present extra session is
drawing to a close, Senator Carter is
reintroducng a number of bills af
fecting the state which, although fay
crably acted upon by the committees
of both houses, failed of passage
last session. These bills will not,
however be considered until the reg
ular session next winter.
OF chief interest to the state is the
bill establishing the Glacier naional
park in the Rocky mountains south of
the international boundary line. This
bill passed the senate last session and
was reported to the house, but the
leaders there cried economy" and its
small expense was not incurred. This
park is to be established IN among
the glacial regions in the Flathead
country, along the Flathead river and
about the Blackfeet reservation.
The senator has also reintroduced
the new HarlowtoWn land district
bill which chops off sections of the
Billings. Helena, LeWstown and
Bozeman districts and establishes a
new district, the headquarters to be
at HarloWtoWn.
OF particular interest to the people
in the Flathead country is Mr.. Car
