John C1af1in, it is stated has pledged his personal fortune Of $10,O00, 900.
 The outstanding paper is so widely scattered as to prevent financial strain in any one section.
 A meeting of the creditors to be held in about ten days will determine whether the receivership shal be com sinued, and if 50 on what terms the receiver shall be allowed to borrow to continue the business. At this meeting committee of creditors may be selected to co-operate with the re- ceiyers

 over 1000 singers and their families are sure to come. The number of singers may reach 2,000. This Is counting those who will take part In the grand concert on Monday night and others who will participate in the contests of the afternoon Besides these many win come to take part in the concerts to be held at the park on Tuesday afternoon. f/
 This week is "preparation week. and a busy one it is When the Arion Singing society members started to make arrangements for the accomno- 4dation of 5000 visitors at the local hotels and boarding houses. they were startled to find that 1t took so much room to house so many people At first efforts were made to get single rooms for all single men and suites of rooms for families. This was soon found to be an imposstbiity. Then it was necessary to arrange for the Sin- gle people to double up and families to content themselves with one room where possible and at the most, two rooms.
 Arrangements for the proper enter tainment of Governor Simeon E. Bald win and his staff have been made. The governor will make a short ad- dress on Monday evening. after which he will remain to hear the concert, for he is fond of good music.
 The committee has received word that several New York dailies, will send special representatives to this city on Monday afternoon to hear and re- view the singing at the contests and at the concert. These men and wo- men will be experienced critics and the members of the several local societies are anxious to hear the yer dict.
 Tickets for the concert are selling rapidly and every indication is that the Casino will be taxed to the limit of it's capacity to acconmodat all those who wish to attend. Those de- siring to procure their tickets can do so at Steinerts music store on Main street.

HeTheaters

THE Sea Wolf is the attraction to-
day at the Empress. The film pro-
duction OF this masterpiece OF Jack
London is wonderfully good. Those
who saw the picture last night share
in the verdict oil the Salt Lake critics,
who saw the photoplay last week:
The Sea Wolf, seven reels OF
most remarkable pictures depicted in
startling and realistic scenes all the
salient features of Jack Londons
masterpiece, captlVated four large
audiences at the Utah theater yester-
day afternoon and night. It is really
a triumph IN the motion picture IN
dustry and the big feature film is We'll
worth seeng-Trlbune.
The picture, taken well and repro
duccd in detail, is perhaps one OF the
best story pictures shown here. Jack
Iondons Sea Wolf was a master
piece of fiction, and the picture pre-
sented at the Utah theater yesterday
did not in any Way hinder the inn
preston left by the novel. Instead, it
improved that mpression.-John jar
muth in Evening Telegram.
The motion picture production of
THE Sea Wolff by Jack London, III
seven reels, which opened yestel LAY
afternoon for one weeks run at the
Utah theater, won much applause
from yesterdays audicnecs.-Heral

The production will be shown this
afternoon and evening for the last
time Ill Missoula.

LOCAL CELEBRATION
WILL BE A HUMMER
Committee Has Meeting and Then Makes Known Definite
Plans for Missouas Fourth Of July Frole-More and
Better Features Than Made Last Year Notable

The executive committee in charge
of Missoulas Fourth of July celebra-
tion held protracted session yester
day morning. Plans for the two DAYS
We're roughly outlined and the com
mittee hopes to make the coming
event bigger and more attractive
celebration than the one Of last year
The committee has at last arrived at
the point Where il feels that its plans
are definite enough to warrant a sNs-
tematic advertising campaign through
out western Montana.
One of the biggest attractions will
be the Indian dances which are u be
in progress for a period of four days.
The Indians are expected in Missoula
on July / and should have their camp
erected hN the evening Of that daA.
They viii dance on the evening OF
July and on tho second and third.
On July they will come to Missoula
for the purpose OF participating in
the parade. The fact that there viii
be three times as many Indians 4,
Missaula this year as there We're dur
ing the last celebration makes certain
one of the best Indian dance programs
ever held in western Montana. The
chiefs with whom the preliminary n
1angements were made expect to have
at least 80 tepees in the village. a
spacious dance lodge will be erected
which will make the dances more com
Portable for the participants and the
onlookers.
Baseball Championship.
The western Montana baseball
championship series promises to pro-
vide some really exciting sport. The
cream of western Montana's baseball
talent Will be seen on the lee5ti-4ia-
mond on July 3 and and the battle
will be in dead earnest. The com
lnittec has offered cash prizes for the
first and second teams and in a9sli-
tion to this the winners will take .lt
$50 trophy cup presented hV the Mis-
soula Mercantile company The mer-
camille company allowed the commit
tee to choose the enp and one has been
selected which Will give the yictors "A
handsome and permanent trophy If
their proWess on the baseball dia
mond.
Evening Carnival.
Another feature of the celebration
will be the carnival in the evening
Last year was the first time that a
street carnival has been attempted in
connection with a Fourth Of July
celebration. Its success Was so great
that the committee has decided 10
give this feature special attention.
The committee appointed t. handle
this event has had great deal Of ex-
perienee along this line and Will un-
donbtedly produce something vastly
more elaborate and entertaining than
the one STAGED last Year Some fea-
tures have been suggested which. if
