PNEUMONIA CLAIMS
COLONEL JACKSON

Colonel Jackson, an Indian, and q
native of Arizona, died at a local hos
pital yesterday morning, following an
illness of pneumonia, which with COM
plicatiOns has confined him at the hos =
pital since early in November last year.
jackson was % years old, and for
several years was a student at the
Truxton creek Indian school at TruX-
ton Creek, Arizona. and the under
taker is making an effort to learn
from the superintendent of the school
rs to the relatives of the dead man
and final disposition of the body.
Colonel Jackson came to Missoula
last summer to take part in the STAN
pede, and later went out to Arlee,
where he worked in a pool-hall for
several months. Last November Jack
son assayed to walk out to Arlee, after
having been on. a celebration in Mis-
soula, and was caught out in an early
blizzard and had both feet frozen. He
was taken to a hospital and there it
was found necessary to amputate both
feet and also Il finger on one hand.
Later septic pneumonia set in, and
yesterday the young red man passed
out.

DANCE FLOOR UNSAFE
SAYS CHIEF LOFFNES

At the time of the electricians dance
two weeks ago several persons called
the attention of The Missoulian to the
swaying of the floor of the Elite hall
under the rhythmic beat of the dancers
steps. Fire Chlei 1offnes was inter-
viewed and it was learned that the
authorities judged the floor safe on the
basis of a report made by an inspect
ing engineer two years ago. Since that
time the fire chief has seen fit to inves-
tiSate the matter and has changed his
mind as to the safety or the structure.
for his report to the city council yes
terday showed that the floor>was sub
ject to partial if not total collapse
when the dancers feet set the wood
in vibration. The fire chief and Com
missioner J. NJ. Brcchbill We're ap-

COcOanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
. Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
Is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
1ircly sroaseloss). is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinscs out easily. and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and cX-
c"ssivc oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves 1t fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man.
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and Il few ounces Is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

lar session yesterday morning to pre-
pare an ordinance fixing the licenses
for taxicabs and auto-busses at $40
each The present ordinance provides

in the garage and IS for each ad-
ditional car. 1t Is alleged that the
transfer companies have been farming
out the first car license to new con-
Germs for $3.50. making it appear as

dition to the garage paying the sa5
fee. The change OF system will elimi-
nate this practice.

COLD sMAMESSCHEDUl[
Milwaukee Trains Delayed
Many Hours in Blizzard
Districts.

Due to the effects of the violent
blizzards raging in the Dakotas, Min
nesota and eastern Montana. the west
bound traffic OF the Milwaukee has
been practically blockaded for the past
36 hours. and as there are washouts
reported along the road. it will prob
ably be some time before the trains
commence running on time from the
east. Eastbound traffic is coming into
AIissoula on time. but. of course. meets
with all the difficulties which the
westbound trains are cncountering
when they get into the storm regions.
According to latest reports, the
westbound passenger train on the MIL
Yankee due in Missoula at 11:4O yes
tcrday forenoon, will not arrive until
about midnight tonight, with the other
trains corrcspondingly late.
The intensity of tho billiards. and
the continuous cold weather and heavy
snowfall in Minnesota is given as be-
ing the main reason for the delay.
Throughout the Dakotas and Mime
sofa. the Milwaukee uses steam loco
motives. and therefore those districts
are more affected than in the Juice"
district or electrified part Of the road,
where electric motors are the means
of locomotion.
1t is said that conditions are espe-
cially bad just out of Minneapolis and
from Mobridge, S. D., to Glendive,
while in other places high water has
seriously affected the railroads, and
caused an immense amount of trouble
Although 1t is impossible to obtain
| confirmation of the story from Mil
waukee officials, 1t is said that the
Milwaukee road at or near Three
Forks has been badly damaged by ice
and floods. 1t is said that the ice has
been damned up over the tracks and
has temporarily put them out of COM
mission, but though 1t is known that
