Freezing to death is preceded by a

And for the glad heart of a boy.

Secure from turmoil and from strife.

RIVERSIDE BAKERY
DESTROYED BY FIRE

The bakery shop owned by M. Dudley
at Riverside was wrecked by fire last
night, the damage being roughly esti-
mated at $500. The blaze started be-
tween the oven and the roof at 10: 80
o'clock and burned briskly and it was
only after Il hard fight of 40 minutes
by the bucket brigade which was
quickly formed that it was controlled
and finally extinguished. DR.. Conyng-
ham took command of the line of men
who passed the buckets Of water from
the pumps near at hand to the burn
ing building, while Deputy Sheriff An
drew johnson assumed command of
operations inside the building. The
men worked hard as the flames were
threatening other buildings, and only
for their willing efforts and the splen-
did organization of effort number
of other buildings might have been
destroyed. The bakery is located east
of the street railway tracks and ad-
poins the Riverside market.

chickens ready to roast, and the eggs

Close on the heels of the marching
orders to the First battalion of the
Eighteenth came another order yester-
day which has stirred into activity the
officers and private.s of the Thirteenth
Missoula Boy Scouts, better known as
the Rocky Mountain Rangers. In fact
officers and men have been anticipat-
ing trouble and expecting to hear
something drop since the issue of G..
o. order No 13 some days ago. There
has been considerable drilling and
furnishing of arms but the serious
ness Of the situation first evidenced
itself yesterday when Colonel E. S.
Paxson, who has had his ear as close
to the ground as anybody, issued the
following special order and sent it post

CITY WILL REDUCE
BIG EXPENSE
COST OF LIGHT AND WATER
SERVICE is CUT BY SUPER
lNTENDENT BROWN.

After debating the proposition in
executive session, the city council de-
cided yesterday by a unanimous vote
to accept the offer made by Superln-
tendent George r. Brown of the Mis-
soula Light & Water company, under
the terms of which the city is to main
tain it's present system of light and
water supply at a reduction of about 8
per cent in the cost. Twenty stree.
lights and eight fire plugs will be fur
nished by the company free of charge
until such time as the financial condi-
ton of the city warrants the mainten-
ance of the entire system again. The
saving to the taxpayers of Missoula
will be $1,920, eight per cent of the an
nual expenditure for lights and plugs.
The Missoula Light & Water COM
pany made the offer to the city as a
substitute for the plan Of disseminating
several lights and plugs suggested re-
Gently by Mayor Rhoades as a scheme
for financial retrenchment. A hint
that such a proposition could be Sc
cured from the company was made by
the committee of ten in its report last
week, and negotia tions conducted by
the commissioners resulted in it's pre-
sentation. Under Mayor Rhoades plan
the saving to the city in dollars and
cents would have been somewhat
greater, but the service would have
been crippled.
The offer made by Mr.. Brown was
not quite as liberal as that suggested
by the decemvirs, and when it was
made the commissioners at once went
into executive session with MIR. Brown.
Immediately thereafter they decided
to accept the offer. In the commit
tees report it was said that the light
and water company would probably
give the city the use of 30 lights and
10 plugs free of charge. The PROPOSE
ton made yesterday by Mr.. Brown
does not entail quite so heavy a saving
but the difference amounts to only $S40
a wear.
