Deputy Game Warden Mccormick
t~elephoned yesterday to f. s. Lusk
that a carload of elk will reach Mis-

which runs into the forest reserve and
which is an ideal elk country.
Mr.. Lusk has interested the forestry
department in this experiment and the
rangers, in their capacity of game
Wardens, will aid in the protection of
these animals. They will range back
from the Lothrop ranch into the Bit
ter Root mountains, toward the head
waters of Fish creek and Graves
crcek-just the sort of country for
them and once the home of innumcr-
able elk and deer.
Mr.. Mccormick said the animals
which have been secured for this car
load are exceptionally fine and that
they were in good condition for the
trip over the divide to the western
slope.

for a few days at the Northern Pacific
hospital and that he was on his way to
a job at camp No. 1 on the ditch that
is being built neal Stovensville. He

The Missoula post office yesterday re-
ccived a parcel post package which
contained three dozen
LENTEN eggs and two dressed
PARCEL chickens. The package
came from Wisconsin
and it's contents were found to be in
good condition. We have always en-
tertained a high regard for the state
OF Wisconsin and an exalted TINA
of its wealth, but we hold our breath
IN a"mazement at the p~rodigality of
the sender Of h a package. With eggs
at their present price, three dozen
represent a small fortune n the
shipment of this material, even for
lIcntcn observance, marks Wisconsin
as a state whose people don't care
what they do with their money, they
have so much of it. A state whose
people can send eggs by parcel post
under present conditions is a wealthy
commonwealth and no mistake. The
on!N uneasiness the receipt of this
package ocCasioncd was among the
police, who feared the influx of a lot
of yegg-lnen if it became known there
was SO much wealth in one house in
Missoula. Three dozen eggs in one
house at one time raises the per-capita
wealth of this community to a notable

what it would be. Anyway. if w. A.

works, there is somebody here who

COMMISSIONERS MODIFY
RULING AS TO TEAMS
City to Continue to Hire Horses
From Relatives of District
Employees.

Impressed with the fact that hardsirips
would be caused in many instances
through a strict enforcement of the order
adopted recently prohibiting foremen in
the engineer department from hiring
teams of District employees or relatives of
employees, the Commissioners, on motion
of Capt. Mark Brooke, assistant engineer
commissioner. have decided to modify the
ruling. Nearly one hundred teams We're
thrown out of employment as the result
of the adoption of the order, which was
found to have more far-reaching effect
than had been anticipated.
1t has been decided to re-employ all
teams in cases where it is found that the
relationship between the owners and Dis
trict employees is remote, as hardships
would be caused by strict enforcement
of the order. Several teams discharged
already have. been re-engaged, and it is
expected that favorable action will be
taken in the cases of number of other
proteStants.

At the White House wedding there was
a slender young girl in blue velvet who
almost shared honors with the bride.
Throughout the afternoon and even ng
she and the keen-eyed, smiling man be-
side her were surrounded by cabinet
members, diplomats and other members
of the capitals smart set who were
among the guests. And with these young
people. with the newly married Mr.
and Mrs. Francis b. Sayre, good wishes
and congratulations seemed to be the
order of the day.
The young girl in blue velvet was Mrs
William F. McCombs. formerly Dorothy
Williams of Washington. Now that she
is the bride of the brilliant young lawyer
who managed the campaign that placed
President Wilson in the White House,
the whole country wants to read about
her. With the democratic victory, Mr..
McCombs became national figure.
Dorothy Williams made her debut in
Washington in 1y1. She was a friend
of Ethel Roosevelt and Helen Taft, and
for four years was one OF the Capital
acknowledged bellies.
Mr.. McCombs. of course, came on TO
Washington for President Wilson s in
auguration. At one OF the numerous big
dinners he met Miss Williams AT er
that nobody else could meet him. Old
friends who had journeyed to Washing

public affairs. The president of a south

Haskin. He read it aloud to his wife in
the evening, taking no note of his two
children, a girl ten years old and boy
or eight, who were presumed to be get
ting their lessons in the same room.
Finally, when the childrens bedtime
came. they protested that they could not
be sent to bed because they had not got
their lessons. When put TO a cross-ex-
animation they admitted that they had
been absorbed in the story of Uncle
Sans great undertaking at Panama.
This man, being an educator. was graft
fled by the interest the children displayed
and the next day bought each of them a
copy of the book.
This is a hint that many parents woulG
do well to take. If you do not care &c
read aloud. put the book into the child
hands. He will do the rest.
