The Preparations for Spring Are Making Things Hum Here These Days
Mr.. Man, Ask Yourself If Your Clothes
Reflect Your Personality

It's the man with personality who commands respect
and gains confidence and success.
Many a man, some Of them right here in Missoula,
makes the mistake Of hiding his personality behind an
ill-fitting, unbecoming or cheaplooking suit of clothes.
Not that clothes make the man, but they can go a long
way in u%nmaking him.
It's clothes with personality that reinforce the man
that urge him on-that keep him going.

Small Trees Not suitable for Streets.

j. B. Boyd, who has so far disposed
Of $50 hardy trees to be set out on bou-
levards Of the city the coming spring,
asks us to inform our readers as to the
conditions on which he sells them in or
der to correct mistaken reports being
circulated. The boulevard trees, ash
and elm, which Mr.. Boyd proposes to
plant, are 10 to IL feet high. The nur-
sery price for these is $1.20 each. Mr..
Boyd charges $3.50 for each tree and
will then plant, cultivate, trim and wat
er, them the first year and replace all
thatado not grow the first year free of
charge. If any die the second or third
year he will replace them at half price.
He says he can supply the same kind
of trees 5 to 10 feet high at from 45c
to 75c each, when the buyer does his
own planting. Mr.. Boyd claims that
planting small trees on the boulevard
gives undesirable results, the trees
branching out too near the ground.
These trees will branch out when given
plenty of room at the height the branch
es are when transplanted from the
thickly growing nursery, and unless
fairly high trees are set out the job will
not be creditable one nor an ornament
to the street and city. For that reason
he will not plant small trees on the
bOuleVardS.

LEGISLATORS Here.

A legislative committee of three
House members, Hon. w. H. Thielen Of
Minneapolis Hon. Carl Carlson of Nor
ris and Hon. DR.. w. T. Stone of Park
Rapids visited the State Hospital for
Inebriates yesterday. DR.. Stone is the
author of bill to convert the institu-
tion which he characterizes as "a dis
grace to the State" into hospital for
treatment of tuberculosis patients, a
subject Of which he has made life
study. He is somewhat vindictive in
his attacks upon the Inebriate Hospital,
but it is to be hoped that calmer judg-
ments will prevail in the legislature and
the plan which the State has undertake
en- at Willmar will be given a fair trial
before it is condemned. Representative
P. H. Frye accompanied the committee
to the State Hospital and is making his
influence felt against any rash action
being taken in the premises. Senator
Odell also takes this stand and believes
that the plans which DR.. Tomlinson and
assistants are working out at Willmar
will not be interferred with by this ses-
sion Of the legislature.

Third and Sixth Streets.

The Commercial Club held it's month
ly session last night with a fair attend
ance of members. The following new
members were elected: G.. F. Babcock.

Russell Spicer and L. A. Tjosvold re-
ported on the ornamental light PROPOSE
ton and plan was submitted which
would cover Third Fourth and Fifth
streets, and some Of the intervening
avenues in the business section. The
proposition has met with cordial sup
port from most Of the business houses
although some are holding back Enough
has been pledged however, to practically
assure the success of the undertaking.
1t is proposed to place lights on the
corners of the blocks, and this would
interfere with catch basins and poles to
some extent. The plans as drawn were
left with City Engineer Rowat to make
an estimate regarding the cost of max
ing necessary changes on the street COR
ners, before the matter will be brought
before the city council. Mr.. F. G. Han
dy was appointed as a committee to see
what could be done to have Sixth street
included in the initial territory to be
covered by the new lights.
Mr.. Gilbert Amonsen presented the
matter of the Willmar Machine and
Foundry Company urging the co-opera-
ton of the members of the club in this
enterprise. The matter was left with
the committee on Prospective Industries
with the addition Of L. A. Tjosvold to
Investigate the proposition and report
at next meeting of the club.
The matter Of the early closing Of the
stores was brot up and discussed at
some length. This discussion may lead
to a conference of the merchants Of the
city for further discussion of the sub
ject to determine whether early closing
has been found to be detriment in any
way to the business interests Of the
city.
