COL. WHITE STILL BOOSTING.

Col. a, \. White OF st. Paul, who
two years ago purchased from the
government Wild Horse island and a
large number of villa sites on Flat
head lake, was in Butte yesterday.
The colonel believes there is no more
beautiful country lying out OF doors
than that found along the shores OF
Montana's greatest lake and he has
backed this sentiment by investing n
large sum OF money there in real es-
tate. With tho opening of the new
branch OF the Northern Pacific run
ming from Dixon to Poison. it Is prob
able that more cities of this state
will become familiar with this most
charming section of Montana. 1t is
certainly an ideal region for the To-
cation of summer homes and anyone
who visits this region at once will APP
prcciate this fact The colonel al
most single handed is doing great
deal to advertise the F1athcad country
in the east and he is entitled to the
hearty support OF the people of this
commonwealth in these cfforts.-Adv

New Official Ruling Extends
Period Until Certified to
District Board.
SUMMONS is ISSUED
Notices Are Mailed to Each
Of 3o4 Eligibles Under
First Drawing.

Any of the 1874 men who have been
called by the county selection board
under the conscription law may enlist
this week, according to a new ruling
by Washington. Men drafted for the
national army. the ruling says, may
volunteer up to the minute a local
board certifies them to the district
board as qualified to serve.
1t is believed here that the an
nouncement probably will stimulate
voluntary enlistments among those Of
the summoned men who feel them.
selves qualified for military service.
To Give Utmost Opportunity.
At first it was said that volunteers
would not be accepted after the Off
cial call of the county board had been
made. but the war department has
changed its ruling in order to give men
every possible opportunity to volun-
teer.
The official summons by the county
board was issued yesterday when no.
tees were mailed to each of the 1874
who head the list of men subject for
draft from Missoula county The calls
mailed to the men specify the hour
and day appointed for the physical ex-
animation which all must undergo.
Letter Not Necessary.
Service OF this letter is not neces-
sary, however. The men. the govern
ment holds, were sufficiently notified
when their names We're published in
the papers and posted at the court
house. Registered men who have not
received notice by mail may learn
their order and the day set for their
examination by going to the office of
the board on the second floor of the
county courthouse.
One-third of the whole number of
men will be examined on Saturday
August II. One-third will be exam
fned on Monday, August Is. and the
rest on Tuesday, August IA.

DIAGNOSIS IS WRONG

Although the smoke around Mis-
soula called forth many EXPLANATIONS
to the effect that the forest fire situa-
ton must be getting worse. forest
service officials pointed out that a fire
within bounds will make as much
smoke as one out Of bounds. and said
sidercd pretty well under control.

ter Root national forest left yesterday
with 80 men to aid the crew already
stationed at the White Cap creek fire
in the Nez Perez region which broke
beyond the patrol Sunday night.
More Men to lothrop.
The local office sent out Is more
men to the fire near Lothrop to make
sure that it would not break away
from the patrol already established
there and which has the fire in hand.

munication department returned from
the Seiway forest with a report that
the fire situation there is well under
control.
Cabinet Fire Controlled.
The fire in the Cabinet forest was
reported controlled at the local office
yesterday and there was no news of
further fires or any beyond control in

being erected ut Philadelphia. where
900 tents are to be made immedi-

examples OF the activity induced by the

Soldiers Seen Everywhere.
Men in uniform are to be seen every :

600 men in uniform marching down
the street in New York few days
ago. 1t was truly stirring sight fol
an old soldier.
Crops are good in the eastern states
this year-better than they have been
before for q number OF years. Not
until we reached Bismarck, n. D., did

COURT UPHOLDS D. c.
PARKING REGULATION
Rules Commissioners May Prevent
Use by Merchants of Streets in
Front of Establishments.

Chief Justice Covington of the Dis
trlct Supreme Court today sustained
the right OF the District Commissioners
to exclude from use by merchants the
parking space in front of their places
Of business. He denied a petition Of
Joseph L. Crupper. lumber merchant
mandamus to compel the Commission
ers to rescind an order to him to ra-
move lumber piled in front of his
yards.
The court holds that the action Of thu
Commissioners involved the exercise
them by sundry irrelevant acts of Con-
gress. No abuse of this discretion il
disclosed IN the case at bar, the court
declares.
No words can be found" says the
cnlef Justice, either In the last proviso
ment of the act of February 2, 1904,
which grants to the abutting property
owner any right in the sidewalk or
parking in business street on which
his property abuts. At most the Com
missioners were simply directed to per
nit him to use such portion of It, as In
their judgment might not be needed by
the general public under such general
regulations as they may prescribe.
And the fact that Mr.. Crupper. as
an owner of property abutting on a
business street, is not able to use the
parking in front of his property under
regulations presumably sufficient for
many other citizens, while possibly a
misfortune to him. does not operate
to prevent the regulation from being
one of general application"
The court finds that the regulation
10 compliance with the mandate Of
the statute and declines to inferfere
with its operation.
