CHAR DAY..

Today is the birthday of the state
university. The usual Charter-day
ceremonies will be carried out and the
customary recognition will be paid to
the anniversary. The annual address
win be delivered by Rev. II. S. Galley
OF this city The hour of the address
will be 1890 this morning. AS many
Of the people of the city as can find it
possible to attend the exercises in
University hall, should be there. The
address will be worth while and the
occasion calls for the presence of as
many people as car attend. In the
afternoon there will be the inspection
of buildings and the gymnasium drills,
which have been in the past such
pleasant incidents of the city. Again
we urge a large attendance at these
functions.
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1913-02-21

Of explanation I can only point out
that within the last year the admins
tration of the university and the en-
tire personnel of the department of
chemistry has changed. At the pres
ent time, therefore, there is no one at
the university who can say whether
the request was received by the depart
ment or explain why it was over
looked. The present officers of the
university are willing to answer for
their W actions, but they prefer that
their predecessors answer for them
selves.
Mr.. Miles letter brings up an i'm
portant point. The department Of
chemistry, consisting at present Of
only two instructors, is so much oc-
cupied with it's regular Institutional
work that it cannot, except in rare
cases, undertake the work of a bureau
of food and drug inspection. At the
same time, the state should see to it
that there be some place where citi-
zens can obtain sue scientific in
formation. Such places could be best
provided through the establishment at
the university of cooperative labora-
tories by the state board of health and
the other state scientific bureaus.
Such laboratories could undertake the
work of food n drug inspection, Of
sewage and sanitation problems, of
water and milk analysis in connection
with the university laboratories of
chemistry, bacteriology and hygiene.
Such cooperative laboratories have
been established in several of the
state universities with much benefit
both to the bureaus and to the uni
versities.
The university officers would be
very glad to discuss such plans with
Mr.. Miles or with any other citizen
who is interested.
Very truly yours,
R. H. JESSE, Jr.,
Professor of Chemistry.

committee, to correct false impressions
created by the viciousness and hatred
of one individual. I stand ready and
willing at all times, to listen to and
heed the advice of older or wiser
heads. My only aim is to secure for
and give to MisSoula a good admins
t%ration, and if let alone and allowed
to do so, I will do this. I welcomed
this committee, because it gave us the
opportunity to correct wrong impress
sions, maliciously formed and circu-
lated with evil intent. l am for Mis-
soula and her people; l am for a
greater and better Missoula, both NOR
ally, physically and financially; I am
for peace and prosperity; l regret con-
t%ention, but have no fear of battle,
but to you, Mr.. Property Owner, to
you, Mr.. Business Man, and to you,
MIR. Taxpayer, if we are ever to have
a city here, it is up to you to take
that chip off of your shoulder: stop
piling up distractions in the way of
your city council; let it be known that
the committee of ten has found affairs
in good shape, expenses within rev.
enue; stop the reports that the city is
in debt n that our form of govern
ment is a failure. Put matters as they
are n let the truth become known.
Get out and dig along the lines of
progress and peace We have all we
a tend to in our duties, and have
no time for party differences, conten-
ton and strife. We are trying to
serve you, and serve you honestly and
faithfully, and for rod sake l ask
you to help, instead of doing every
thing that can be done, to hamper,
pull back INC knock.
In conclusion permit me to say that
I am and shall be always willing and
ready to listen to the demands and
VIII of a majority of my people: they
have elected me their mayor for a
term of W years, almost one year of
that time having passed. and whether
1 shall serve out one day, one week
Or n month or the remainder of my
time, for which I have been chosen, /
propose to exercise the prerogatives
that AVE been by law n by W
votes invested in me, and whenever l
feel my inability to serve you in a

my resignation.

THE RATE DECISIONS

Washington forecasts are that the supreme court, re-
down decisions in the Minnesota and Mountain rate cases.
In both of these cases, Montana is interested directly.
The Mountain rate cases are those which we know here
as the Spokane cases. These cases are important in that
their decision involves the consttutionality of the Dixon
ong-and-short-haul amendment to the law OF 1910. The
Minnesota case hinges upon the broad question OF the right
of a state to regulate the rates Of a railway which does an
interstate business.
The supreme courts decision in the Minnesota case will
define more clearly, it is expected, the dividing line be-
tween state and federal rights; it is likely to have effect
much broader than the limitations of transportation ques-
tons; it is not impossible that it will embrace the question
OF state rights in other matters which have been promi-
nently considered lately. The case is attracting nation
wide attention on this account; it was discussed by the
recent convention OF governors.
The Minnesota case has been under Amusement a long
time; it originated seven years ago in the action of the
state railway commission in ordering the lines of that state
to make important reductions. An agreement was after
ward reached by which the commission withdrew the COM
modify rates it had established and the roads accepted the
class rates. But action was taken by stockholders against
the agreed rates, the companies paying the costs of the
action. The result was the decision by Judge Sanborn,
that class rates in Minnesota should revert to the figures
in force before the commission made its order.
Minnesota appealed from the Sanborn decision, taking
the matter to the supreme court, where it is expected
there will be a decision rendered next Monday or a few
days thereafter. The decision will be of supreme import
ance, both in its bearing upon the fortunes Of the railways
operating in Minnesota, but as we'll in its effect upon the
rights of a state legislature or a commission to control the
affairs of companies which do an interstate business. The
decision will affect rulings in other states than Minnesota.
Similar cases have risen in Kansas, Kentucky, West Vir-
ginia, Missouri and other states.
The railway people predict with some degree of conf
dence that the principle of non-interference by the states
with rates or other matters connected with the operations
OF companies doing an interstate business, will be finally
held to be the correct doctrine, as it has been laid down
by the courts from which the cases were appealed. The
roads directly concerned are the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Minneapolis & St. Louis.
The decision upon the constitutionality of the longand-
short-haul amendment will be watched with deep interest
by this entire mountain region, where the application of
that law has been of such marked Importance.

objection to its members, but n dis
like as to the manner in which the
committee was called into existence.
There is ground for the mayors claim
that the committee would not have
been formed had it not been for a per-
sonal and vindictive attack upon the
city administration. Perhaps that is
so. but the mayor-We hink-should
be glad the committee was formed, for
it found and reported that the admin
istration is in good shape and thai
the expenditures are within the rev.
enues. AS the committee now stands,
it is a permanent body by the volun-
tary action of the council. The mayor
can have no objection now on the
score of the committees origin. Wise
counsel is always helpful and it is no
reflection upon the commissioners
that they are willing to receive advice
and act upon it.

AS TO COUNSEL.

In a communication to the editor of
The NissouIian, which is published
elsewhere in this newspaper, Mayor
Rhoades says he is firm in his stand
for the fulfillment of every campaign
pledge which he ever made and thai
he is specially willing to consult with
citizens upon any and all occasions
when important municipal matters
are under consideration. Mayor
Rhoades says he wa misquoted in
the newspapers as to his remarks
Wednesday morning; we are glad that
he did not say what his auditors I'M
derstood him to say; We are pleased
that our comment yesterday morning
was correct, in effect that Mr.. Rhoades

LEGISLATION.

Ten men in twenty days give the
state of Montana practically all Of it's
legislation which it gets. This is the
case at the present session and it has
been the case at every session of the
legislature since Montana has been a
state, This being the case, why is it
necessary to have my more than ten
lawmakers at all? And why is it
necessary to have a longer session
than twenty days? If We could save
the expenses of the legislature for
forty days, We would have money
enough to build the needed halls at
the university. We would also save a
lot of trouble. The expense of the
legislature makes our laws very
costly. The Thirteenth assembly, we
are told, has been liberal in its en-
ployment of attaches; its expense bill
will reach Il fine figure. To eliminate
tWo-thirds of this expense would be
TO save Il big sum to the state. Then,
too, we would do away with a lot of
disturbance. The steering committee
might as we'll constitute the whole
legislature for all the chance anybody
else has to do anything.

Passenger
Pigeon
BY Frederic j. Haskin.

The recent sickness of the passen-
ger pigeon in the. Cincinnati Zoologi-
cal gardens-the last survivor of a
mighty host-has served to call the
attention of naturalists again to one
Of the most remarkable birds that
ever inhabited the earth. Millions OF
people are still living whose eyes
have witnessed the flight of the
and yet only one of all the vast
numbers of those pigeons is known
to surVive-and hat one occupies a
place of honor in the Cincinnati ZOO.
When he dies it is probable that his
body will be presented to the nation,
to be preserved in alcohol at the Ma
tional museum.
In these days it is hard for the
younger people to believe the story
Of he passenger pigeon, so incredible
were their numbers, so remarkable
We're their nestings. And the story of
the brutality that marked the work of
the pot hunters who followed them as
a tiger stalks his prey, relentlessly
pursuing them, using the telegraph to
keep in touch with their flights and
their n%estings, is a story of revolving
cruelty and butchery.
The world is indebted to John James
Audubon, the great naturalist, for
what is perhaps the best account of
the passenger pigeon ever written.
And his truthfulness and scientific ac-
curacy make it a story to be accepted
at its face value. He relates that in
the autumn of 1913 he left his house
at Henderson, IN the banks of the
Ohio, to go to Louisville. In passing
over the Barrens a few miles from
Hardensburgh he observed pigeons
flying from the northeast to the south"
west, in greater numbers than he had
ever seen before. After they had been
passing for about an hour he dis
mounted, seated himself on an emil
ncnce, and made a dot with a pencil
for every flock h a passed. In a short
time he found that he was putting
down dots at the rate of 1853 in 81
minutes. He resumed his journey and
still the pigeons came; the light of
day was darkened as if by a solar
eclipse. Like a torrent. and with the
roar of distant thunder, they gathered
in a solid mass, darting forward with
the wings of the wind in undurating
n angular lines, descending and
sweeping close to the earth, then
mounting perpendicularly so as to re-
semble a vast column, and when high
in the air once more, wheeling and
twisting within their continued lines,
which then resembled the coils of a
gigantic serpent.
For 55 miles Audubon travelled on to
Louisville, with the serried columns of
pigeons still floating over his head,
and for three days the flight contin-
ued. Each flock did exactly as the one
ahead had done; if the one ahead
darted down when passing over a
brook, or lodging a hawk, the flock
behind did the same. Audubon at
tempted to estimate the number of
pigeons in that great flight. He as
sumed that the column averaged a
mile in width, which was far below
the average in point of fact. Then he
assumed that the birds flew at the
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1913-02-21

Hudson in 1906, and John Burroughs
investigated the report n believed it
true. A number of persons have
claimed to have small flocks of the
pigeons. In 1906 c. o.. Whitman of
the University of Chicago reported to
w b. Mershon, author of "The Pas
Pigeon that he had two fe-
male birds and two sterile hybrid
males.
But the passenger pigeon is gone
from the earth forever. Lik the
great aux and the buffalo it has been
unable to adjust itself to the age of
the white a in America.
