Thorough the leadership of Evan
gelist Smith and Bishop Brewer Mis-
soula people yesterday rave special
heed to a real revival of Christian
faith and fellowship in this commu-
nifty. Evangelist Smith and his assist
ants spent a busy day with several
special services in addition to the
regular evening service at the Elite.
The mass meeting for men in the aft
ernoon was largely attended and the
union meeting Of young peoples So
cieties also called out a fine crowd.
Bishop Brewer also devoted much
time to the cause yesterday as in ad-
dition to officiating at services in the
Church Of the Holy Spirit, where he
is conducting a week OF special meet
ings, the bishop talked before a meet
ing Of Missoula women at the Y. w.
c. A. parlors in the afternoon. Work.
ers in the cause of Christ in Missoula
were we'll satisfied with the days re-
suits. The attendance at every an
bounced meeting was so large that it
demonstrated an exceptional interest
is being taken in this revival work.
Women Hear Bishop Brewer.
No meeting for the women Of Mis-
soula has been more thoroughly en-
joyed or keenly appreciated than that
held yesterday afternoon at the Y. w.
c. A. parlors when Bishop Brewer was
the speaker. The capacity of the place
was taxed by those who came to hear
this man who is held so dear by all
who know him in Missoula. His ad-
dress to the women was characteristic
in its gentleness, force, logic and ap-
peal. His general theme was that
each n has a place to fill in this
life n that each should be salts
fled with his lot, however humble that
may be, if he believes that it is the
place which the Lord wishes him to
fill. Bishop Brewer made his a most
beautiful and inspiring service. Music
for the occasion was a vocal solo by
Miss Ethel Hughes and a piano solo
by Miss Leila Mcdonald.
Young Peoples Meeting.
The union meeting of all the young
peoples societies at the Baptist church
filled the church to the doors. Mr.,
Smiths address vas short, but it went
home. His text was, Il Am Ready" AT
the close of it he asked all who were
ready to do anything they could in
Christian service one by one to stand
and say so. Scores of people pledged
themselves to loyal service. Mrs. Har-
old High always sings well, but her

Mr.. Smiths subject was, "Why, How
and When to BE a Christian" He said
in part:
Il am speaking tonight Of a personal
acceptance of Jesus Christ. l do not
mean that this is all there Is to the
Christian life: 1t is only the beginning.
There are three reasons why one

There is a deal of ingratitude in the
world, but for no other cause Is a man
so much of an migrate as that he
rejects Jesus, the son of God. In the
next place one ought to be a Christian
because Jesus is the only way Of sal

"And now how is one to become 8

Parcel post business last month was

January, as shown by reports to Post
master General Burleson. In Febru-
airy 5O,0O0,OOO parcel post packages
were handled, an increase of 1O,000,0 900
over the previous month, but, as Feb

January, the real gain was about 40
per cent.
The department of agriculture has
been figuring up the losses by fires on
the national forests for the calendar
year 1912, and finds that they were
the lowest of recent years. Less than
one acre to every thousand of tim
bered lands were burned over, and the
total damage is estimated at $75,290,
or less than one dollar to every 1000
acres of area.
California is us miles long, has

Lightning caused more fires than
any other agency followed by rail-

the order given. The greatest losses
occurred in Arizona, Arkansas and
California, in which States there was
also the largest proportion of fires
caused by lightning and by incendiar-

were started by lightning, and about
80 per cent were due to carelessness.
The proportion in each case was prac-

The SEGREGATION Evil.

In the Carey act under which great bodies of land may be segre-
gated there is a grave danger. This danger was not fully apprehen.
ded until in the later years. This act of course was introduced and
passed with a purpose in mind, and the people in the eastern part of
of The state have seen what that purpose is.
The segregated lands of this valley will certainly be thrown open
again soon to the public and if not re-segregated they will be gobbled
upon by hungry entrymen who will eventually cultivate aud reclaim
nearly every section in this valley, and that is a it should be. There
should be a petition signed by every citizen in this valley presented
to the State Land Board, asking that every proposal for segregation
be backed by a bond 30 heavy that the segregators would either be
compelled to act in good faith q d construct the irrigation conals or
not be allowed to file the segregation.
This thing of segregatiug land, with the view to holding it until
it could be sold out to a profit for speculative purposes, or better still
used for cattle range, depriving the small catuemen of his just share
of the range, ought to be stopped.
What we want is development and not speculation. A segrega-
ton filed with good intentions and the scheme carried out, is one of
the best things that can happen, but II segregation filed with the in
tenhon of holding it for a term of years by making a bluff at a little
construction and used for a cattle range, is one of the worst things
that can happen.
This valley should see to it that no more segregations r allowed
without there is a bona6de bond behind it, big enough to insure con-
structon at a n early date, OIL else ZEE that there is 10 more segrega-
tions filed, and that the lands be thrown back to the government, sub.
ject to entry by the small man. This small man is the builder of
empires, and segregations that are used.for cattle ranges don't build
anything.
