M|SSOULA DEBATES t:
GALLATl|N ! | I EAM
TONIGHT
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL SPEAKERS
MEET BozEMEN CHAMPIONS
HERE THIS EVENING.

The lineup for the big high school
intellectual scrimmage tonight is as
follows: For Gallatin high school,
Don Langhor, Lee Park and
Llewellyn Luce; for Missoula county
high school, Carroll Baker, Stuart
McHaffie and Clarence STREET. The
Bozeman speakers will be accom-
panied by Miss Bess Adams, instruc-
tor of English at the Gallatin high
school and coach in public speaking
and debate.
AS a preliminary to the actual de-
bate, Miss Evelyn Thomas, Mr.. George
l.. Cobban and the Missoula Mandolin
club will offer the public a musical
treat with number of vocal and in
strumental selections. The debate will
begin promptly at SIS p. m.
The judges have already been
chosen, all three coming from Helena,
as was preferred by the principal of
Gallatin high school They are Princi-
pal A. J. Roberts of the Helena high
school, Superintendent John Dietrich
of the Helena city schools, and Byron
e. Toan, deputy superintendent of
public instruction. All three are
highly qualified to act as judges in
such a contest, having taken consid-
cradle interest in the work of debate
and public speaking.
If Missoula wins tonight it will be
represented in the final cup debate
during track meet, when it will strive
for the final honors with the team
from the Forsyth high school. If the
Bozeman team should win they will be
obliged to come back again in two
weeks to make another attempt to win
the debate cup.
A good crowd is expected tonight.
Those who heard the local boys speak
against Butte have been telling their
friends not to miss tonight's contest.
1t will be an evening well spent
1t is quite an expense to bring a
team down from Bozeman, but the
response of the citizens is encourage
ing, and Judging from the interest the
contest has aroused it is expected that
the high school assembly will be
filled to it's capacity

SOUTH / SIDE Sewer \:
|: 0pERSAADONS
SESSION !
q.
DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED Paw
ING DISTRICTS ACROSS
RIVER STARTS THINGS.

Like Banquos ghost, the south side
sewer specter hung over yesterday
mornings meeting of the city council,
interrupting the harmony of the dis
cussions and interfering with nearly
every plan proposed by the worried
city fathers. The spirit of the meet
ing seemed to be that the sewer prob
lem must be solved before any further
improvements can be made on the
south side. Engineer Buck showed the
commissioners that some sc1t of sewer
must be built on South Higgins ave-
nue. if a pavement is laid there. If
the Improvement district is created
and that seems doubtful at this time
some arrangements must be made
for the disposition of the surface
drainage
There were a dozen or two prop-
erty owners from Stevens and Pattee
streets in the council chamber yesterday
morning, waiting to register their pro-
tests against the paving district there,
but the city attorney announced that
he had discovered that the final date
for protest is next Wednesday, and
the protestants adjourned
Little of real Importance was done
at the weekly session. but a flash Of
excitement came when the question
of telegraph wires on. Pattee street
came up. Postmaster Logan told the
commissioners that the Western
Union wires are still attached to a
wooden post outside the federal build
ing. The council asked Mr.. Logan a
year ago to allow the wires to re-
main until this spring. Now the post
master wants them removed. when
the linemen put those wires in," said
the postmaster, .''he told me they were
to stay there forever. Wen show the
city that we're running this business
he said'
We'll, they'll be taken out of there"
said Mayor Rhoades. There is no
reason why those wires couldn't be
moved a block east or placed under
ground. We will order the Western
Union to move, Mr.. Logan, and if they
don't we have. lots of sharp axes"
'I'll help you swing then,' said the
postmaster.
Pm pretty good at swinging an axe
myself the mayor assured him.
Further complication in the side.
walk question also arose to disturb the
commissioners. In order to allow the
people on South Fourth street west
to form an Improvement district for
the purpose of grading the street,
sidewalk was ordered in on South
Fourth between Arthur and Beckwith
streets. The order for sidewalks on
BeckWith streets was rescinded and
proposal to rescind the order for walks
on South Fifth street west was post
poned a week. az
A petition from, George Brooks and
others, asking that the curb line on
East Cedar street, between Pattee and
Madison streets, be fixed at 1914 feet
from the property line was referred
w. II. Houston's oath of office,
taken before Frank Woody, was or
dered filed, as was John e. Wilson's
bond of $4,000.
Adjournment was taken until next
Wednesday,.

Why shouldn't street names be ap-
piled with some Judgment? Look at a
list of the streets of
REAL Missoula and you won't
CHANGE find half a dozen
names that suggest
thing about Montana's history or are
even western in character. Rather
you will find that the men who
named the streets passed the buck"
to posterity by taking the short cut
afforded by such charming combina-
tions as First. Second, Third. Per-
haps such combinations, if consistent,
would be an inspiration to the
NoungSter learning his numbers;
they aren't when there are four First
streets, located in different parts of
the city. One inspired gentleman
handicapped some of Missoula's
streets by calling them after the let
ters of the alphabet. Then there is
the tree series'-Cedar, Spruce,
Pine, CherrN-and the presidential
series. Main street, of course, was
not overlooked; it is strange that no
one thought of Broadway since refer
ence to conventional names seems to
nave been the proper thing. Missoula
mas a history of her own, that is in
danger of being forgotten. There are
scores of iliustrous names connected
with the city's history, and there is a
wealth of Indian nomenclature from
which street names could have been
drawn. Such names would be worth
While; certainly they would be better
every city in the country. The men
who plated and named the streets of
the various additions to Missoula seem
to have been without trace of
originality. 1t is mighty lucky that
the city wasn't called New Philadel-
phia,

SUIT IS INSTITUTED
BY FIRST OWNER
Of LAND
JOHN MILLER, HAVING RECLAIMED
CLAIM, WANTS PAYMENT
FOR RIGHT-OF-W WAY.

John S. Miller filed suit for dam
ages against the Chicago, Milwaukee
&. Puget Sound railway in the district
court today. His attorneys are H. G.
and S. H. McIntire of Helena. The
plaintiff asks for damages done to his
farm in the Blackfoot when the rail-
road built that branch in 1910.
The Milwaukee obtained it's right
of way through the land from Fred
L. Miller, who is no relation of the
plaintiff. He had secured his title at
q sheriff's sale when the land, which
was timber claim of Kohn S. Mil
ler's, had been sold to recover debt.
Shortly after the Milwaukee obtained
its title John Miller brought suit,
claiming that the court authorizing
the sheriffs sale had no jurisdiction.
The case was decided in his favor and
the supreme court sustained the de-
cision, Clearing his title.
The Blackfoot line had meanwhile
been blilt and Fred Miller had been
paid for the right of way. 1t is TO
recover This payment that Miller is
Iow suing.

''KAHOKA" SURPRISED
BY FATHERS ARRIVAL

Charles Jester for four years en-
ployed in the composing room of The
Missoulian, was surprised last night
by the arrival of his father, S. w.
Jester, who arrived from the family
home in Kahoka, Mo-, entirely unan-
nounced, to visit the son whom he
had not seen for four years. The
meeting was a mighty pleasant one
and one that will be followed by other
sessions during the time the father
remains in Missoula with his son.

Sheriff Bill Kelley came back to his
own yesterday, well again, though
lacking several pounds
BILL of his pristine ve;aht
BACK His return made a
good many Missoula
people mighty happy, too. for Bill
stood right on the summit of the great
divide for a day or two. His case
was one of the most severe that has
come to the attention of Butte physi-
clans in years. For days the doctors
despaired of saving the sheriffs life,
but strong constitution and the
strength gained by years of clean,
straight living, brought Bill through
an illness that would have killed nine
ty-nlne men in a hundred. owen
Kelley wore a smile last night that
radlated up and down Higgins avenue,
pallng the famous street lights. The
smile was reflected on more than one
face. Bill kelley's friends aren't
hard to find and there wasn't one of
them who didn't feel happy ano
thankful when he learned that the
sheriff had come home Bill has i'm
proved so rapidly that he will be abb,
to receive visitors today.

ENGINEER A SUICIDE.

Douglas, Ariz., April 23-Ernest L..
Johnson, a mining engineer of Tue
son, committed suicide today in a
hotel here by taking poison. He left
note addressed to Robert Mitchell

himself because he had revealed Sc

Within the city limits of Mssoula
there are exactly 2S3 separate streets.
In a total of 2S3 there
STREET are at least dozen
NAMES duplication of names,
one or two triplica-
tiOns and one case where the name
is applied to four different streets.
A glance at the list of street names
shows some curious things about the
men who named the city's highways.
They were careless enough to dupli-
cate in several instances, and they
We're in such hurry to finish the job
that they didn't pay a bit of attention
to the fitness of the names they APP
piled. Why shouldn't the name of
street be chosen as carefully as is the
name of a dog or the title of a book?
First street-common, unlovely name
as it is-has been applied to four
streets in Missoula. There is a first
street out at the western edge of the
city in Greenough addition; there is
another, North First, just north of
the Northern Pacific tracks; a third
is in the original townsite on what is
known as 'the island; the fourth is
on the south side, below the river
bank west of Higgins avenue. There
are three Second streets, three Harri-
son streets and three Ninth streets
The Implications are too many for
mention. There are two Arlington
streets, two Arthurs, two Beck
Withs, two Clevelands, two Grands,
two Mapes-but that is only begin
ming. Only the people who have
chanced to notice the Implications on
the map, and mail carriers who have
had trouble with the names will be-
lieve that there are twice as many
more cases.

There's a thrill of sweet joy, without
an alloy, that through my being tin
giles; Fred Jamison
REAL begs the acceptance of
EGGS eggs by "the man who
wrote the jingleS;
and the genial Fred, at the jingler's
head, this hen fruit didn't throw he
packed it tight in bucket bright,
two deep and six in a row; for much
depends whether foes or friends these
gifts of eggs deliver if they're
heaved through the air, to plaster
your hair, you're bound to have
doubts of the giver; but the eggs
which came in Jamison's name
brought recognition sweet; and I'll
have three served up to me, when
my breakfast eat; the jingler's lay.
however gay, can't equal the lay of
the hen; it pays it's part in cheering
the heart, but it's served its purpose
then; while Biddys lay, I'm here to
say, is nourishing and good; we
might exist if eggs we missed, but l
don't see how we could my pen
won't tell the thoughts that we'll, as
this dozen eggs | see; l bear in mind
me; my Muse is gay and straight
away my Pegasus doth speed; my
fountain pen flows free again and he
who runs may read; so Jamison
much good has done to cheer the
jinglers way; he must have heard or
else inferred that jngling is poor
pay; and there are times when jim
gled rhymes, though stretched out by
the yard don't bring the feed that we
much need-for times are mighty
hard

there were three candidates and the
Republican vote WAs' ,1.Yided
An Analysis ofathe Figures.
y year ago The combined Republf-
can and Progressive vote was l7a2l
for the Republican, Goodwin, and
1852 for The Democrat. Al this
election Of Monday the combined Re-
publican and Progressive vote hat
is. the vote east against the Demo
cratic candidate-Was 21,593 and the
Democratic vote sank from l5,5l2 L
f4,553. In other words. the majority
against the Democratic party ross
from 7719 to 6331. Eut the most
significant fact of all is that in thu
past history of the district the vote O.
all parties against the Democratic
candidate VAS never over 5000. 1t l.
now over 2l,000. counting only the Re-
publicans and ProgrnssiNes alona
about the scattering vote. In recen.
elections the vote has been close be-
tween The united Republicans ana
Democrats.
In i9ht III Republican majority
over the Democrats Was 261t, in ladt
1902 II Vas 1sSt. in 1900 it Was 6Slb
ind in 1885 it 1aS G25S. Now the
combined Republican and Progressive
majcrity-the democratic vote
has gone back in this election to the
old figures of the years when Mekin
ley and Roosevelt swept eyerythine
before them.
Biggest Vote Against Democrats.
But the most significant fact of ali
IS that there never has been so large
Il vote cast against the Democrats as
in the election Just held. That Mr..
Peters carried with him SO many of
the Frogressives as 10 give him 4
plurality over the Democrat is a sub
ject for great rejoicing. The first
cause of Mr.. Peters election was the
liability of the regular Republican
vote on which, as he stated in the
campaign, he confidently depended.
Next. one half of the Progressives
who voted for Roosevelt returned to
the party 10 which til y naturally be-
lensed. The Prosressires have shown
their power in the past To defeat Re-
publicans with whom they really agree
on all great policies and to elect
