has been no attempt to make an
elaborate Or overbearing show of the
building on the outside. It's exterior
is modest but at the same time it Is
rich n artistic. Above all it sug-
gests the idea of stability. Not until
spring, however, after the sheds and
rubbish incident to the building oper-
aticns have been cleared away, will 1t
be possible to appreciate the true
beauty of the building. With it's
grounds prepared it will have a set
ting that is very effective. 1t has
added n more to the group of beau
tiful and substantial structures that
now face on Cedar street. But best of
all it is to be a useful building and
In this lies it's chief value to Mis-

the turning over of Missoula's new fed
eral building for the use of the post
office and the headquarters organiza-
ton Of field district No. 1 of the for
est service, has been enacted.
Some days ago Postmaster Andrew
Logan received his commission as
custodian of the building. The final
inspection was made by government
officials during the past week and the
building has been declared fit for SER
vice. Experts say that it is the best
building Of it's size in the whole coun-
try. 1t represents the last word in
building construction of modern times
and is a structure of which the Gar
den City may well be. proud. Its need
is apparent and there is no question
but that, the work of the postoffice
and the forestry organization will be
greatly facilitated when these two de-
partments of the. government are once
established in their new home. All
that remains to be done now before
the building is in service is for Post
master Logan and District Forester
Silcox to move their organizations

lay has been occasioned on account
of the failure of necessary furnishings
to arrive, but much of this has been
received within the last few days and
yesterday Mr.. Logan received bills of
lading for the last two larger ship
ments, n from New York and the
other from Cincinnati, O. Because
one of these shipments contain equip

moving of the mailing house has not
been fixed. However, everything is

The University of Montana will be
IS years old next Monday, and on
Friday will celebrate it's birthday with
appropriate exercises. Since 1906 the
university has observed Charter day
each year until it has come to be one
of the most important dates on the
collegiate calendar. The program each
year is about the same, simple yet APP
propriate to the occasion. An address
is delivered by some prominent man
in the morning, in the afternoon the
buildings are opened for public in
spection and an athletic exhibition of
some kind is held for the benefit of
the guests of the day. such was the
program in 1906, when the first Char
ter day celebration was held; such
will be the program this year.

until the permanent buildings at the

Rev. H. S. Galley, rector of the
Episcopal church, will deliver an ad-
dress Friday morning. In the after
noon student guides will conduct the
visitors through the classrooms and
laboratories where other students win
be at work. Visitors are thus afford
ed an admirable opportunity for in
specting the institution.
Charter day is the one day in the
year when the institution is thrown
open for the. people of Missoula and
the whole state. whose school it is,
SO that they may make a thorough in
spection and become acquainted with
this development. It is a day of open
mousse when all nay see. and Judge for
themselves what the institution is do
ing and how it is carrying on its
work.
Since that February II. IS years
ago, the University of Montana has
advanced remarkably, as its history
will show.
Historical,
In 1881 the United States
passed a law which set apart ~ Sec
tons of land in the Territory of Mon
tana, the proceeds from which were to
&c into a fund for the maintenance
and support of a state university.
The selection of this land was imme-
diately afterwards made by r. II.
Howey, territorial superintendent of
public instruction and from his Sc
lection has been derived the fund
which has built up the institution to
it's present splendid proportions.
The first move toward the. estab-
fishing of the University of Montana
was made in 1891, during the first
legislative assembly ins1annary when,
through the eftortssdMl COM
mittee appointed in Missoula to work
with the legislature, a bill creating
the institution passed the lower house
