ness men and citizens, who, by contin-
ually working I'd gether on all import
ant and weighty subjects, have built
Missoula from an ordinary sized town
to the third largest city in the state.
This growth has been brought about
by work-togethe r. p~ull-together team
work, n by aggressive campaigns
among the farmers of other states,
presenting them with reliable statiS-
tics and data, thereby influencing them
to come to the different agricultural
valleys tributary to this city. The fact
that Missou.a and all the surrounding
country has ire bled in population in
the last few We hrs gives evidence to
the success of this persistency. Each
year the Nilsson la Chamber of Com
merce has a lar ge n comprehensive
exhibit of the many and varied lam
products of the territory adjacent to
Missoula, at the different eastern land
shows and expos tions. In 1910 displays
were made at Spokane and Chicago;
in 1911 at Madisbn Square garden, New
York, and st. Paul, and this year at

clearly demonstr rate to the interested
visitor the many commodities grown in
the fertile and rich soil of western
Montana.

In many of the judicial districts of
the state, the district judge is the best
loved man in the community; while
it is not desired to call attention to
particular instances OF his kind, the
mind of the man who enjoys a wide
acquaintance throughout the state will
Immediately advert to the Third, Fifth,

in pleasant recollection of the splendid
attachments and generous courtesy OF
the judges presiding.
Nowhere in the state has there been
accorded a higher need of confidence
and respect to a judicial officer, and
certainly nowhere has that feeling
more nearly approached affection than
in the relations between Judge Web
ster and the members of the bar, and
they indeed but reflect the general
sentiment of all good citizens. His
discharge of the functions of his office
has been remarkable chiefly for the
complete thoroughness of his equip
ment for the position.

grasp the salient principles of a sound
argument, and as quickly reject the
spacious claims of sophistry. However
the one thing Which in the opinion of
the writer, ilnpresses itself most fore
IDLY upon the careful observer in Judge
Webster's court, is his minute and ac-
cnrate knowledge of the statute law Of
the state Of Montana. The statutes
cover a multitude Of matters and touch
upon a vast majority of the contin-
gencies out of which litigation arises
and are therefore of supreme practical
Importance to the lawyer and the
judge. This knowledge Judge Web-
ster possesses in a superlative degree.
The duties of a trial judge are ar
duous and especially Wracking to the
nervous system; under these condi-
tions he is to be commended for his
patience and consideration. The citi-
Gems Of Missoula county, and espec-
tally the members of the bar, owe a
debt of gratitude to Judge Webster
tor the service he has rendered them.
Neither he nor any other man could

condition which the legislature must

by increase of business in the dis

A Long Term Of Loyal Service
Editor Missoulian:

Editor Missoulian:
The writer's experience in the actual
trial Of eauses at law in courts OF
original jurisdiction has been almost
entirely obtained before the bar of the
district court Of the Fourth judicial
district of the state of Montana, DUR
ing the ,12 years contemporaneous with
the last three terms of the district
Judge. During all of that time there
has been but a single incumbent of
that office, in the person of the now
retiring judge, Frederick G.. Webster.
An attempted expression ofappreciaton
of the services of Judge Webster tt
this judicial district, coming from such
a source must naturally lose much Of
the authority which a broader and
more varied experience together with
q ripper Judgment would command.
However, the advantage of a rather
intimate association. covering a con-
siderable period, furnishes the best OPP
portunity for careful analysis of per-
sonality, and occasional incursions to
other courts supplies a fair basis for
comparative judgment.
The voluntary REIMBURSEMENT of a
dignified III honorable position after
a long tenure Of office, justifies a pub
lie expression, touching the merits of
its administration, and those best here
qualified to pass upon the merits are
those who come in closest contact with
the particular office. It seems, there
fore, to be fitting and appropriate that
the members Of the Missoula Bar
should publicly notice Judge Webster's
retirement from official life. While
theterritory of the Fourth judicial dis
trict includes, the counties of Ravalli
and Sanders, as well as Missoula.
Judge Webster has spent practically
all of twelve years on the bench of
Missoula county, and has, during that
time. maintained his residence and
chambers in this city. His tenure of
office has been longer than hat of any
other district Judge new sitting on the
bench with the exception of Judge j.

trict) and is only exceeded in point OF
continuous service by that of the late
Frank Henry of the Sixth judicial dis

During the twelve years that Judge
Webster has presided over the Mis-
soula county court, he has undoubtedly

the record will show a larger volume
OF court business in Missoula county
than in any other district in the state,
except the Second, and the business

vided among three departments OF

character and attainments Of the dis
trict judges, of Montana has for long
been a matter Of pride to the citizens
and especially to the lawyers of the
state. These, men, as a body, possess
the judicial temperament to a high de-
