The Missoula Anglers association
is fathering bill providing for a

measure has ever been proposed and

The Missoula anglers, however,
have been studying the matter for
months. They do not wish to injure
the sport, but to conserve it,. Their
position has the backing of experts,
and it is asserted if closed sea-
son is provided for, the streams will
not be 60 rapidly depleted OF trout
as they have been. less restocking
will be needed and in many other
ways. a closed season would prove
beneficial.
The proposed law provides the
closed season for game fish Is to
be from the end of October to the
beginning OF May. 1t is thought best
to make this long season, as differ
ent varieties of trout in variuos wa
ters OF the state are spawning dur
ing that whole period. The original
proposal regarding nonresident IL
censes was to make them three dol

sideration OF the prosperity OF the

would be beet to encourage visitors

George w. Burton, accused of the
murder Of Fred Long, a rancher liv-
ing Is miles northwest of this city,
took the stand in his own behalf
Tuesday afternoon and admitted that
he killed Long but that it was in
self defense. He told very straight
forward story of the affair from be-
ginning to end and his story tailed
almost exactly with the evidence that
was produced by Sheriff Ingraham. 1t
was thought that the handkerchief

was used by Burton as a mask, but
Burton proved that he had used this
under his hat so that it hung down
over his neck to preven. leaves and
trash from falling down his neck
when crawling through the under
brush. Burton testified that he went
over to keep his date with Long and
that they got into controversy. .Lons

with his arm and held him almost
helpless. When Long hollered to
his wife to hurry with gun Burton

FAST MAIL
CALLED upon
G. N. HAD TO GATHER THE
1T IN A HURRY.

Fast mail trains aided by many
immigration agents made it posi-.
BILE to place the Great Northern
exhibit at the Minneapolis land
show in time for the opening day.
In placing this exhibit the company
made a record which is unique
one. Six days before the show was
due to start the exhibit was ready
to leave Wenatchee, Wash. The
large and sweet-tasting apples from
the Wenatchee Valley were Grated
and placed in warehouse await
ing shipment to Minneapolis. With
the apples were boxes of ether fruits
and products for which the state is
noted. The warehouse caught fire
and burned to the ground along
with the exhibit for the Northwest
ern Products land show. Those in
charge of it We're in a predicament
for a few hours.
immigration agents, roadmasterz
and superintendents OF the Great
Northern were put to work at once
in collecting more fruits and vege-
tables. Special trains were run on
the branch lines SO as to gather the
entire new exhibit. Those in
charge saw that it would not be
possible to get the exhibit to Min
neapolis in time for the land show
unless the Great Northern's fast
mail train was used. There was no
time for "dilly-dallying" and the
special exhibit car was attached to
the fast mail to be yanked half way
across the continent.
Once 1t was in Minneapolis the
work OF setting everything in place
was accomplished with but little
difficulty. It meant q lot OF hust-
ling and work by day and night
but the exhibit was ready when the
doors Of the armory we're opened to
the public.

WILL MAKE CHANGES
At PUMPING STATION
City Council Decides that Another Pump
Is Necessary, and One Will Be Or
dered at Early Date.
WOULDN'T LET COUNCILMAN GEDDES RESIGN

The main topic OF discussion at
the council meeting Monday night
was the matter of making improve
ments at the city pumping station.
1t was found necessary, in order to
get the best results from the pump,
to build a cement we'll or cistern
near the pump house so that the
water can run into it from the lake
by gravity and the pump will draw It
out of the we'll. This will allow amy
foreign substance to settle to the
bottom instead of passing thru the
pump and into the water mains. On
account of low water and settling Of
the suction pipe, gravel has been
sucked into the pump every little
while. causing the valves to stick
open SO that it looses its priming.
The clerk was ordered to advertise
for bids for this work. The pump
now in use has been in regular SER
vice ever since the plant was INSTALL
ed and will soon need to be over
hauled. In order to be prepared for
any emergency it was thought best
by the council to have another pump,
so the water committee was empow-
cred to meet a representative OF the
Fairbanks. Morse & Co., whom he
comes next week and order "a new
pump. This will necessitate several
changes in the pumping station. OF
which Engineer T,rippett exhibited
plans and specifications. This work
will be done as soon as the new
pump is ordered.
Another matter OF considerable
importance that was taken up was
asNchange that will be made in the
time when water rentals shall be
paid. This change will go into effect
the first of the new year. and after
that date the water commissioner
will be in his office for the purpose
OF collecting water rentals only
from the Goth of the month to the
fifth OF the following month. This
will leave the consumers only fif-
teen days in each month in which to
pay their water rents. This Is done
for the reason that the majority of
the people get around to pay up be-
tween these dates, and the water

Misses Lutz, Johnson and Tiel were

There were quite few women and

last. 1t was almost too cold for the
men to attend.
There has been request for the sta

to be repeated when the weather will
permit greater attendance.
We are going to sing some of the
Crane old Battle Hymns of the Republic
Sunday evening. A full chorus.
How many men are now active and
prominent in civil life. Who were
born before there was a railroad in the
q. s.? What do the stripes on a barber
pole mean? Why did Gen. Washington
die at the time he did? How do the
comforts of the laboring man of today
compare with the living of the rich 100
years ago? What is the chief influence
behind all achievements of science and
industry? Why the revolution in
China? Prof Isaac T. Headland of
Pekin University says: For more
than ?, 500 years the three religions
have had their chance in China and she
slept. One hundred years ago the Pro
testant gospel was carried to China
and during that time awoke and is
making more rapid progress, materi-
ally, intellectually, governmentally and
spiritually than any country has ever
made at any time in the history Of the
world" China knows to what influ-
ence she owes her advanced state Of
civilization To what influence are we
indebted for our knowledge Of anti
septics, anaestheasia, ventilation and
sanitation? To what stimulating IN
fluence are we indebted for all the
progress in rather for the creation of
our mechanical Development, our So
cial reformation and benefcent laws?
