TO REMEDY
CONFUSION OVER
vi
STREET NAMES
DUPLICATION OF TITLES AND
INpiscRlMlNATE HOUSE
NUMBERS a PROBLEM.

The confusion of street names in
Missoula caused by duplication OF
titles, and the giving of several names
to n street in some instances, and
the hit Or miss style of numbering in
certain parts of the city, hav created
considerable criticism which will
probably lead to some definite action
soon by the city council.
AS was stated in an article in The
Muscular a few days ago, there are a
large number of streets whose names
mean nothing but confusion. There
are many instances of duplication. In
some cases streets located across
the city from j, each other bear the
same title, and house numbers on
those streets are also duplicated. A
half dozen streets carry more than
one name with no logical reason for
changing except that they pass
through several city additions or cross
a railroad track.
Where a street or an venue bear
the same name, as happens in 18 in
stances, confusion lis constantly
caused by the handy method of desig-
mating a house as 1000 Grand" with
u adding avenue" or street" A
glaring instance of this IS in the case
of Montana avenue and Montana
street, where there are two of each in
widely separated parts of this city.
tumble Of Numbers.
Even We're the street names
Strengthened the house numbers on
them would make confusion enough to
call for an instant. remedy. On many
streets no numbers are used at all.
On others numbers have been as
signed with no idea of sequence, often
jumping several hundred numbers in
adjacent blocks.
City Engineer Buck, with the as
%sistance of the Missoula postoffice,
has prepared a list of streets whose
names should be corrected and which
also show mistakes in numbering.
Some interesting information is given
of conditions that will probably be
brought before the city council for
%remedying very soon.
Same Streets Named Differently.
The following, taken from Engineer
Bucks report, gives some Of the ex-
amples of the conditions referred to
above, the first being the list of some
of the streets having different names:

UP TO THE PEOPLE
TO DECIDE
UNIVERSITY LECTURE-COURSE
COMMITTEE ASKS MisSoULA
FOLKS TO COOPERATE.

Whether or not Missoula will have a
lecture course next winter is a ques-
ton which the university lecture
course committee has put up to the
people of the city directly. 1t is a
question of no slight importance and
there are many people who will be
keenlyNinterested in the outcome. The
committee has prepaid a statement
which sets forth the situation clearly
and places it %sqnarely before the peo-
pie of the city for determination.
Here is the committee letter:
To the people of Missoula: For a
number of years past "a committee
from the faculty of the university has
c~onducted annually a series of enter
tainments under the name 1.-THE Uni
versity Lecture Course.'' This work
has been carried out without remuner-
alton to the committee and during
the past two years at a loss. The
abor necessary to conduct the course
IS quite heavy. When added to the
already heavy work of the members of
the committee it appears to them to
be too much. and they do not think
the present system should be con-
tinued.
A large number of people in Missou-
la are anxious that the course be
maintained. To make this effective
1t Is necessary to have closer co
operation of the townspeople. This
will involve an entirely new plan. The
rnnnoitfan in pharrn ~ %Lo - /, 4, ~ro
should represent the different public
interests or organizations Of the city.
This plan would o u greater inter-
est in the community, would make
possible a course hat would appeal to
a larger patronage and should be
made to insure financial backing that
would distribute the burden more
evenly than by the present systeml
1t is now time to make contracts
for talent for the coming year. What
ever is lone should be done SION.
This is a matter really for the fti-
zens to decide. 1t is suggested eat
friends of the lecture course give hub
lie expression of their opinion, from
which n plan may be devised. is
believed that from such counsel a $ys-
tenn can be evolved and a committee
selected that will represent all pu
interests, and will give the peop1
course that will be more attrac
and in which they will feel a pers1
interest.

1t will be seen that Hart county,
for instance, returns her lands for
less than one-sixth of the census val
ne, while Camden returns hers for
nearly three and three-quarter times
the census value. What greater evil
dence could be produced to illustrate
the crudity of our tax system. The
Camden county farmer is paying
state tax twenty times greater than
the farmer in Hart, and yet both are
drawing more out of the state treas
ury than they are paying into 1t.
The Camden county farmer is paying
seven times more than the Clarke
county farmer, and yet Clarke as
whole pays into the state treasury
$2S,S12 more than she draws out.
Of course lands are more or less
according to richness or
poverty of the soil, according to loca-
ton with reference to public roads,
railroads and towns or cities, and
with reference also to timber and
waste" land, swamps, etc. But no
considerat tons of these kinds could
account for the fearfully and Won
derfully made figures above, taken
from the records.

RAIN Is MAKING RECORD.
For Last Nine Days Rain Has Fallen
and More Promised for Today.

If it rains this afternoon, as the
weather observer has predicted, this
month, like the previous months of
the year, will sustain the record for
weather extremes.
After several weeks of unusual
dryness the rainy spell began several
days ago, and rain has fallen almost
every day since.
Last month broke all records for
being the coolest June ever recorded
in Dawson, the temperature dropping
extremely low, and July holds the
record for heat. Not only was the
highest temperature for July felt here
this month, but also the highest ever
recorded in Dawson. This was when
the thermometer went to 101.

NO INTEREST WAS APPARENT.
Nobody Came to Organize a Truck
Growers Association.

The people of Terrell county are
evidently not interested in the truck
growing movement as a means of
combating the boil weevil when that
pest gets here in the next year or two.
A call signed by number of prom
inent farmers and citizens was issued
for meeting to be held in Dawson
Saturday morning ''for the purpose
of organizing an association which
shall have for its object crop diversi-
fication, trucking, etc., as well as for
discussing ways and means of man
aging such an organization for the
best interests of all concerned"
When the hour advertised for the
meeting arrived nobody had come,
not even all the signers to the call,
and if anything is done to give the
boil weevil the kind of reception it
should have it will have to planned
in the future,

WAS BIG DAY AT DOVEREL
THOUSAND PEOPLE ATTENDED,
SINGING AND BASKET DINNER.
The Occasion Was the Closing EXer-
cises of Bellilover Singing School,
and Was Most Enjoyable.

The singing school which had been
taught at the Bellfiower school house
for ten days by Prof. Thad Sauls clos
ed Friday, and on account of the lack
of room and shade at that place the
exercises we're held in the Baptist
church at Doverel.
One of the features of the day was
basket dinner and barbecue, and
it is estimated that no less than a
thousand people from Terrell, Ran
dolph and Clay counties we're pres
ent. The long table in the grove
fairly groaned" under the weight of
the sumptuous repast.
The singing was splendid. Mr..
Sauls was at his best in directing the
music class. With his beautiful
daughters to assist in the singing he
is a whole team in making good
music. He gave very interesting
and instructive blackboard exercises
with his class that demonstrated to
the audience that he can teach others
as well as sing himself The Bell
flower people appreciate very much
the splendid treatment received at
the hands of the Doverel people and
thank them for all courtesies, es-
pecially the church for the use Of the
house. They wish to thank those
from a distance also who attended
and brought so many well filled bas-
kets.
There is nothing more conducive
to social uplift than the community
gatherings like the one at Dover Fri
day. The revival of the singing
school should be encouraged in ev-
cry community.

LEES FINEST PECAN ORCHARD.
Negotiations Are Now Under Way
For Its Sale.

Greater interest than ever has been
manifested in pecans in Lee county
recently, since negotiations have been
under way for the sale of the grove
of the late Dr. H. C. Ramsey, whose
widow now owns this excellent piece
of property.
The Ramsey grove is probably the
best advertised grove in Southern
Georgia, inquiries having been made
concerning it and orders received for
nuts from Austria, France and many
other foreign countries. This is the
grove for which Mrs. Ramsey refused
several years ago the sum of $4,000
for the eighty acres in bearing trees,
or an equivalent of $1,000 per acre.
