for Missoula have labored long and
hard. They have spent hours in study
and rehearsal for the few minutes of

spectacular as that of a football team
it is harder and more worthy of sup
port. The hall should be crowded to

Friday the university will debate

RESERVATION ROADS
CONSIDERED
COMMISSIONERS ANXIOUS TO
GET STARTED ON EVARO
IMPROVEMENT.

Chairman Nelson and Commissioner
Flynn of the county board of COM
missioners went to Evaro yesterday for
the purpose of viewing the new road
which it is proposed to construct this
season over the Evaro hill. They
made the trip by train, but because of
the heavy rain We're unable to do any
viewing. A portion of the proposed
route for the new road passes through
indian lands, some of the right of way
being heavily studded with timber.
Permit and eaSemen for the use of
his strip of land must be secured
from the government and arrange-
ments for the cutting and disposition
of the timber must be made. These
negotiations are already under way,
the matter having been taken up with
Indian Agent Fred Morgan. The
commissioners are anxious to reach a
settlement n start work on the. new
road so that it "a be completed and
in working order in the summer and
the ground just as soon as possible.
In addition to the new Evaro road the
commissioners expect to view several
other proposed roads on the reserva-
ton in The near future. They have
received about a dozen petitions for
new roads in the Flathead district, but
refrained from taking any action on
these until having thoroughly in
spected each of the proposed highways.

M|SSQU[A PRAISED
FOR WORK Done
CITY ENGINEER BUCK BRINGS
GOOD NEWS FROM ENGINEERS
MEETING IN BUTTE.

City Engineer Buck, who attended
the meeting for the Montana Society
of Engineers held in Butte last week,
brings to Missoula some interesting
features of the meeting. One of
them is that Missoula was commended
for its progressive spirit and for the
large. amount of engineering work
done mere in the past year. Robert
Macarthur. mining engineer for the
Parrot Mining company of Butte, read
a resume of the years engineering
work in the state and Missoula and.
Butte, were the only cities given hon
orable mention for the quantity and
quality Of work done
The meeting throughout" said Mr..
Buck, was an enthusiastic n and
afforded a good opportunity for the
engineers of the state to learn of the
work being done in Montana. The
engineers of the big mining camp as
hosts Were wonders. There was moth
ing undone which would make the
meeting enjoyable"
The engineering society is in a flour
fishing condition and is getting
stronger every year. Many of the
members present at the meeting eX-
pressed, the desire that the meeting
be held in Missoula two years hence.
Mr.. Buck boosted Missoula all of the
time. However, there was not a
large delegation present from here so
that it was impossible to get the meet
ing for next year. Great Falls was
chosen for the next gathering place of
the engineers. Mr.. Buck is DESTROYS
of interesting all of the eligible engi-
neers in Missoula, in the state engi-
n~eering society. In this way he hopes
to secure the meeting for Missoula in
two years.
Those. who attended the meeting
from here We're: Professor A. w.
Richter and Professor G. H. Cunning
ham, of the university engineering
school; George r. Brown, manager of
the MissouIa Light and Water COM
pany; City Engineer Buck, and f. A.
Inglesbury, geologist in the forest
service.
Professor Cunningham and City En-
gineer Buck made an inspection trip
of the Washoe smelter, located at Ana
conda, on their way back to Missoula.

Verify. the times change. Comes Port
land with a set of resolutions that
would do credit to the
EFFETE conventional, turkey
WEST trotting east. The
Portland Ad club en-
closes a letter to Secretary Ferguson
of the chamber of the fol-
lowing resolutions: Whereas, the APP
pie is pre-eminentlY the national fruit
Of America, and whereas, it is good
on all occasions, therefore be it re-
solved that the Portland Ad club,
other clubs cOncurring, hereby amends
the social cod to permit the eating
of apples in public at any time or
place Evidently Portland people eat
apples as the small boy smokes cigar
~cttes-hchind the barn. Maybe west
crn Montana people have been break
ing the social code by eating apples
Ill public. Anyway we have been 50
proud of our apples that no one has
ever been blacklisted for eating one
on the street or in his front yard. If
Watermelons or soft boiled eggs We're
under consideration it would be a diff
fcrcnt thing. The Portland Ad club
won't receive much opposition from
western Montana unless it expects to
have apples eaten at funerals or in
church. AS long as the Mcintosh Red
holds out Missoula people will eat
them without worrying over the social
code.

ton and Montana engaged. 1t was an
event of more Importance to the uni
versity han the interscholastic meet,
yet not so people were in the hall.
Nothing so ~disgraceful has occurred in
years. The best orators in Oregon and
Washington didn't draw two dozen
people. The university was put to
shame, but the greater part of the dis
grace of the thing rested with the
people of Missoula. On Friday two
debaters are coming from Washington
state college. If they can carry home
the report that they spoke before a
filled house Missoula's reputation may
improve. The university deserves sup
port even if the people of Missoula
don't care what their neighbors think
of them. No excuse can stand Friday
evening.

federal building, complete from mail
shutes to tables on which the forest

Judgment was somewhat premature;
for him there is no comfort in the
moisture-laden breeze: it zephSrs up
his pant-legs and trifles with his

his peek-a-boos bring grief; he has a
cold which brings him woe, almost be-

light, that's luminous and bright;
there is 10 joy for him in life, no
pleasure or delight; he wishes he had
waited till summer came to stay; his
peek-a-boos he wishes that he'd left
laid away; he Wanders all d~isconsolate

vainly wishes that his legs were COW
