Railroads are particularly liable to
damage from f1ools because the tracks
generally follow the valley of some
stream or river in order to take advan-
tage of the gentle grade 1t affords. Then.
when the floods come. their tracks, and
oftentimes depots, are submerged. In
Colorado there have been instances where
the floods have not only covered the
track. but piled 1t six feet deep with
heavy powders.
The ease with which floods sweep
away the stoutest bridges and piers Of
masonry Is a matter of common knowl-
edge, yet appalling, nevertheless. Even
where the bridges are loaded with the
heaviest rolling stock. such as freight
engines, in order to weight the structure
down and thus hold it in place. the plan
fails about as often as 1t succeeds; the
water sweeps all away. indifferent as to
whether 1t is paper, wood or steel

DATE IS arranged
FOR MEET WITH
HAMILTON
MISSOULA ATHLETES WILL MEET
BITTER ROOT TEAM HERE
APRIL 10.
AFTER GALATIANS GOAT

Missoula and Hamilton will meet in
track and field games here April ~.
Manager .Stillman Ross of the Mis-
| sorla high school received q letter
| from Hamilton yesterday in which the
| valley school agreed to send its team
to Missoula on any date except April
&c, when the boys will be engaged IN
the Ravalli county interscholastic.
Manager ROSS replied that April 19 is
the late most satisfactory to the To-
calls and offered to pay the expenses
nc 10 men.
The high school track men are still
working for condition only. Until the
weather improves a little the athletes
viii work together for wine and
strength. The weight men have
started heaving the shot round a bit,
but they are as careful of their arms
as a bunch Of veteran pitchers.
Missoula's chances for victory in
tie university's in~terscholastic this
year arc bright. The boys already
have won the relay race twice. An
ether victory will give them per
Irlanent possession of the five-year
cup. That they win win seems GER
tain despite the fact that they have
oecn hard pressed every year. In
| Jones, Whaley. Stone and Murphy the
hien school has a quartet of mighty
| speedy Youngsters, three of whom
have run together for several years.
The relay cup is an aim Of only sec
ondary Importance this year, though.
| MiHsoula is working to beat Gallatin
county, whose team, captaincd ny Jol-
ley, has won the last tive meets and is
confident Of winning agait. The Cal
latin county football team Won the
state Championship fr,m Missorlla last
fall and the local boys are hopeful of
evening scores by winning from the
Bozeman athletes this spring.
Jones Will Star This Year.

Leslie Bush was a topic of CONVEX

must be named. The Mayor is a
good fan and Bill Houston has kicked
in with his little old hundred dollars
for the team every season, so perhaps
we can get it across. Here goes:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Commissioners,
Gentlemen:
We do hereby respectfully petition
your honorable body for permission to
Rename Main street, Bush Speedway,
believing Bush's services in behalf of
this city and the well-known Cornelius
McGiillicuddy merit such action.
OR perhaps Uncle Bick will name
one of his street cars, Joe Bush.
Which would be obtaining nickels
under false pretense of speed.
