PASSING EVENTS

one happening in the week just
passed has transcribed all others in
its significance to Missoula. The
drawing of names at Occur dAlene
City for the selection of lands at the
opening OF the Flathsad reservation
marked the beginning of Il new era in
the development of Missoula. This
morning The Muscular publishes the
last Of the list of six thousand names,
drawn under the supervision Of Judge
wittcn. the land departments super
intendent of reservation openings.
From the people whose names are in
this list will come those who will un-
dertake the development of the fertile
valleys of the Flathead reservation,
and will. thereby, add to the tributary
OF great fertility and productiveness.
For ages these reservation valleys
have lain dormant; for ages they have
been the home of the red man and
have been cultivated but little and in
differently. Enough has been shown
by the results of the hit-and-miss
farming methods OF the Indians to
demonstrate the limitless possibilities
of these valleys when they are sub
jected 10 the modern methods of agri-
culture. And this vast agricultural
empire Is to be added to the region
which Missoula may properly claim as
her own. 1t will become one more
great contributing factor to the pros
sity city of Montana.

The RAIL WAYS.-Tha nerfnd

THE WAYS.-The period Of
railway construction through which
we of Missoula are now passing is
fraught with added possibilities and
responsibilities for the people Of the
city. 1t makes no difference how many
railways reach out from Missoula or
how many rich valleys they bring into
close touch with the city, there will
not be the fun benefit of this construc-
ton realized by Missoula unless her
business men go out after trade. There
of merchants and property owners to
acquaint our new neighb0rs with what
we have to offer and to guide the
course of commerce in this direction.
1t will not do to sit idly by and wait
for business to come; the time when
that sort of policy could win has long
since passed; the town that wins in
these days is the town that goes after
business. the town that advertises its
own resources and blows its own horn.
Missoula's business men go on record
this morning as confident that their
city has the markings of great center.
1t is the hope of The Missoulian that
they will be equally willing 10 go on
record as favoring an organized move
ment for the commercial and physical
betterment of the city. They will he
given an opportunity soon.

WATER POW Err.

WATER POWER.-There is another
thought contained i'm one or two of the
interviews which deserves more than
passing notice. Receiver Houston oi
the United States land office is one of
the men who refer to the vast unde-
veloped water power at Missoula' s
door as an element of her future
greatness. There are hundreds of
streams within transmitting distance
Of Missoula, which possess thousands
and thousands of horsepower, running
to waste The development and appli-
cation of this water power would GEN.
tralize in Missoula energy sufficient to
operate machinery in endless variety
and purpose. Herein il contained the
possibility of great industrial supre-
macy. With wealth of raw material
at her doors and with this great power
ready for application, there is no end
to the possibilities in this direction as
affecting the future development OF
Missoula. This subject deserves care
full elaboration; it contains a wealth
of possibility.

A POTENT FORCE


not as many references in these inter-
views as we had hoped there would
be to the state university as a con-
tributing factor to the city's greatness.
Perhaps this was because the matter
did not suggest itself in the off-hand
talks which were given by the men
vino are quoted. We are Of the belief
that the state university will be one
Of the strong factors in the city's
growth and development. President
Duniway and his faculty are earnestly
engaged in raising the standard of the
institution. The time is coming when
"A degree from the University Of Mon
tana will stand for the highest type
of scholarship. The university will at
tract Ia Missoula men and women of
intellect and mental force; they will
make their homes here, and their in
flucnce will be made for good. There
is plenty of interest in a general way
in Missoula as regards the state uni
versity; but there should be a specific.
definite interest in the work Of the in
stitution: Missoula will strengthen her
self by strengthening the University.
The city should uphold the hands of
President Duniway in his earnest eff
fort To give the university standing in
the foremost rank of institutions of
higher education. Missoula business
men should ask the president how
they can help. and. when they find out.
they should help i'm that way.

wire in actual use. To make this more
tangible compare it to the circumfcr-
ence of the earth, or the distance to
the moon-about 100000 miles-or to
Mars this year. when it will be about
80, 000, 600 miles from us.
OF this single wire mileage the tele-
phone uses over six times az much as
the telegraph.
There were an average of ~ mes
sagcs sent each second of every "a
hours in 1907 by the telegraph COM
panies. No attempt was made To esu-
mate the number of tele phone calls
over the country. but it would have
been many hundreds of times this.

Cyrus West Field completed the laying

THEY kNoW.-This morning The
Muscular publishes symposium of
brief interviews, gathered by reporters
in their rounds about town during the
week. These interviews represent
practically every line of business in the
city; the men who are quoted are. in
some cases men who have spent the
most of their lives in Missouri: nthcrs
are amongst the comparatively recent
arrivals in the city: II Is interesting To
note the conclusions which are drawn
by these representatives of the mer-
camille and professional cir,'os nf Mis-
soula. Each one has formed his cpin-
experience in the city; the statements
are valuable. as they present c"sently
the confidence which the People Of this
city feel in the future of tSei. town.
In all the interviews which we're given
II The Missounan's recorders, there is
not one which has been withheld:
some Of them present helpful criticism
of the conditions which exist here: all
of them breathe hope and confluence
regarding the future of the town. They
are worth the careful perusal of every
citizen Of Missenla. as containing sug-
gestions which are valuable. and they
are deserving of the earnest considera-
tion of those who are looking toward
Mlssonla as possible home. as pre-
sentlng the firm and unwavering conf
denee which the people here have in
their own city: this confidence is a
strong factor in the development Of
any city, as 1t hegets ii Willingness To
invest and To improve. The men who
have made the statements mentioned
are men who know what they are talk
ing about: they are the men who are
the mainstay Of the substantial i'm
pfoFement which is going on. and they
are the men upon whom the city must
