There is now a large force Of hands

other work will progress as fast a.
IL Is possible for them to do so.
The trustees Of this district have
also built considerable hard road west

THAT LIGHTING PLAN.

While improvements are being dis

ton to the suggested plan of lighting
Higgins avenue between the Northern
Pacific station and the bridge. in con-
nection with the iron poles of the
electric railway company. This pian'
which has been outlined in The MIS-
soulian. calls for fifty arc lights along
the avenue: the cost Of maintaining
the system would be slight. and the
railway company would install the
lamps at its own expense. The eNecn-
ton of this plan would make Mis-
soulas principal thoroughfare the

,isement the city could have when
