eral regret has been expressed In this
community over the announced retire.
nent OF Rev. +. 3. Leland from the
pastorate Of the First Methodist Epls-
copsl church which he has faithfully
served for four years. Mr.. lseland's
announcement was very brief. He sim
ply stated that he believed 1t advisable
that his relations with this charge
shall cease when the annual confer
ence meets In Missoula next month.
Tom" Leland. whose varied career
IN the west began as a cowpuncher In

period Is have been given certificates

Mr.. Leland reported that he has COL
lected and turned over 10 the church
treasurer over $4,000. and over 100
people have been entertained at the
parsonage. To the Ladies' Aid society
he paid splendid compliment, saying
that In all his ministry he had never
met the equal of the local society,
which has raised and paid out about
$500 during his pastorate.

Official confirmation of the negotia-

thai Great Britain will similarly ex-

While Great Britain's interests in
Asia have never before powerfully
argued for the acquisition Of Tibet,
an attitude Of Indifference which Col.
Younghusband's expedition to Lassa
a few years ago only served to
strengthen. the virtual occupation Of
Mongolia by Russia tends to make a
neutral zone between India and Rus
