CHANGING FoRM--This morning

ting forth the work which Missoula is
undertaking with the purpose In view
TO effect transformation from vii
lage TO city. II Is an expensive proc
ess. but II Is something which has
to be done II we are to keep up with
the procession. Streets which were
good enough when travel was light
are insufficient to meet the demands
OF a city's traffic and means which
sufficed admirably for the comfort and
health OF a village population fall far
short OF the requirements Of A citys
people. Missoula's transition from the
condition OF a small population TO a
community whose people are meas
ured In thousands was abrupt. even for
the west. Suddenly the city finds
herself confronted by the necessity for
paved streets. modern lighting. urban
railways, scientific drainage and other
adjuncts OF metropolitan life. In In

met with a consideration OF all phases

IN OTHER WAY0--we have men,
toned only the surface improvement
Of the streets. The sewer problem has
been met and solved on the north side
OF the river; II must be met and
solved soon on the south side. There
must be always in mind the sanitary
condition Of the city. This must be
kept at high standard all the while.
The lighting Of the city. the provision
Of breathing places. the construction
Of good roads to the rural districts, the
securing Of proper transportation IA
cilities for tho people Of the country
districts and for their freight-all
these are problems which the city
must solve. So those who are prone
to murmur against present outlays
might AZ we'll make up their minds
now that this work has but begun
that there Is moro OF the same ahead
and much more. Missoula has to keep
pace with the procession or be left
hopelessiy and ignominiousiy behind.
We do not think that there has been
any extravaganza In the work already
done; we are certain that the result
Of present operations will carry con-
viction that the outlay was judiciously
made. To complain because this work
costs something Is to find fault be-
cause Missoula has grown. The as
sumption OF city privileges carries
with 1t the necessity for city provi-
sions for the home people and for the
strangers who are In our midst. And
that is what we have started to do.
We must keep up the good work.

It goes without saying that the people
OF Missoula expect clean city--clean
and clean morally. The city
which has undertaken to provide clean
streets for its people and to compel
cleanliness of byways and private
premises. has taken the first step to-
ward thorough cleanliness. which in
