GOOD STREETs-The street is the

greater interest In good road work

awakening was slow. but this season
finds the people stirred to the right
sort of activity In this direction. The
example OF one good street Is enough
to get whole city working. This
has been the experience everywhere
and Missoula Is proving to be no ex-
ception to the general rule. The
work on Higgins avenue IL yet far

Garden city desires to entertain the

OF the city have been working for
weeks to make the double holiday that

cises. including an address by w. J.

OF sports for the people and there will

this. there will be none OF the objec-

Fourth day OF terror for so many

crackers upon the streets and there

Of those OF the kind that are made but

CLEANING UP-Missonla. nnyslca

CLEANING UP--Missoula's pnysical
condition was never better than Il Is
this spring and the city's streets and
alleys will pass muster more salts
factorily now than they ever would
before. Under the vigorous policy of
the city health department there has
been some scrubbing done that was
much needed and that mas benefited
the city amazingly But there are
other things In the cleaning line that
must be done. Last week developed
a little incident that indicates the off
cial recognition of the necessity which
exists here for the other kind Of
cleaning. The county attorney has
taken official cognzance of the fact
that there IL gambling going on In
town. He has told the sheriff that It
must be stopped and ne pertinently
remarks that this order embraces dice
shaking as well as games OF cards. As
matter of fact, the dice game is the
worst form OF gambling 1t looks in
nocent and II entices the youngsters.
1t tends to make gamblers of the
boys There are boys to whom cards
would not appeal. who yield to the
temptation of the dice. And dice
shaking paves the way to the more
depraved forms Of gambling The
dice box IL on the counter In plain
sight and 1t is tempting: 1t looks easy
to win box of candy or n pack of
cigarettes. There Is throw Of the
bones and the ice Is broken. Usually,
the card gambling Is away out of
sight That Is why the dice game is
the more to be feared: 1t flaunts 1t
self under the face of the boy and It
invites him to become gamester.
While we are cleaning up we would
better make good job of II.
