WILL HELP
FIGHT
FIRES STARTED BY RANCAERS
THIS MONTH TO BE WATCHED
BY GOVERNMENT.

The forest service will assume the
responsibility for any damage that may
result from fires started in brush or
slashings during the coming month
The service has taken this action IN
order to facilitate the fight of the Bit
ter Root ranchers against the Rocky
mountain tick.
Supervisor w. w. White of the Bit
ter Root forest came to Missoula yes
terday after a trip through the valley.
He consulted with the chambers of
commerce in Hamilton, Victor and
Stevensville, and found the members
anxious to help clear the forests of
dangerous brush. 1t is in s~lashings, I'M
derbrush and grass that the wood tick
lives in the spring, and the burning of
ward determination.
Some time ago Mr.. Whites curiosity
led him to make inquiries among the
farmers, to find out why more spring
burning was not done. The reason he
found in the law, which makes those
who start the fires responsible for
whatever damage may be dom on the
national reserves. Since it is very
hat every possible means of
discriminating the wood tick be taken,
MI, White made arrangements where
by the farmers might burn brush and
.slashings in the spring without being
liable to financial setbacks.
As soon as possible the forest serv-
ice will put six or eight men in the
valley to help do the burning and to
guard against the spread of the fires.
This action will be taken because the
service is anxious. not only to help in
the fight against the wood tick, but to
get rid of dry underbrush that will be
a source of danger in August.
Burning may be lone this month.
then, in security, but the supervisor
wishes to make plain the fact that the
builders will be responsible for fires
started after May /.

When the Missoula Trust e Savings
bank closes this afternoon it will LOCK-

gins block, not to open them again
until July 1. That doesn't mean that
the bank is going out of business fol
that length of time. 1t means merely
that the building is going to hedge it
self in a chrysalis of scaffoldine
whence it will emerge in butterfly
glory in July. The bank itself win

3 o'clock this afternoon the moving
will begin. Everything will be taken
across the street during the remainder
of the day and Sunday, so that the
doors will open on time Monday norm

intended the preparations, and the re-
porter who went to see him yesterday

and fast. He was so interested in his
task that he made the reporter wait
until he had finished; a fact which
helps to explain his success as a bank
president.
We hope to be at home in our new
quarters by the first of July" said Mr..
Keith. Work will begin just as soon
as we have finished moving, and every
thing is in shape for rapid work. We
will take the entire ground floor, clear
back to the staircase on Main street.
A new vault will be built, foundations
and all, and will be protected by every
modern device. The vault and the di-
rectors' room will occupy the rear end
of the building. This arrangement will
give us new room for the lobby and
the bank offices. They will be ar
range and fitted with new fixtures
throughout. A marble w~ainscoting will
be used, and the desks and other
wooden fixtures will be of mahogany.
The bank will be roomy and airy, and
will be beautifully finished. The peo-
pie of Missoula will be surprised when
they visit us after the first of July.
The local contract has been let to
e. S. Newton. He will have charge of
all the work of r~emodeling. The fix
lures will be installed by the eastern
company which is supplying them"
With the Missoula Trust & Savings
bank in new quarters Missoula will
nave a quartet of banks whose finan-
cial standing will be matched by the
quarters they occupy. The city has
good reason to be proud of her banking
institutions. They reflect credit upon
the city.

The amount of damage cuold not be
learned last night as Ribordy, the
owner of the mill could not be located
either in Missoula or st, Regis. The
local offices Of the Ribcrdy company
knew nothing of the disaster until in
formed by The MissouIian. However,.
the mill is reported as being IA small
one. a request for insurance was
made Yesterday, it being asked that
S5,oOO be written on the planning mill
and $4,000 on the saWmill. The re
quest came to a local firm and an
agent had planned to 90 to st. Regis
and make the examination of the risk
