THE CITY ELECTION.

IN q light vote, due largely to
very general disgust with a mud
throwing campaign, William J,
Moore was elected commissioner
Of public safety by comfortable
majority and Mayor Wilkinson
was reelected, unopposed.
We hope we may never see
that sort Of campaign again. ii
was wholly unnecessary to bring
out the vote. Indeed, it had quite
the opposite effect, as the figures
indicate.
We blame outsiders for the
shower of slime, rather than the
candidates, both excellent citi-
gems and well qualified for the
duties of the office. The defeat
of Mr.. Houston by his younger
opponent was in nc sense dis
creditable to him. He has long
record of efficiency in public Of
flee and will be heard from again.
Mr.. Moore will begin his new
duties under very favorable con-
ditions. His record is clean. He
is honest and capable and should
serve the people well.

CLEAN THEM OFT.

The attempt to destroy a flume
of the Bitter Root Valley lrrlga-
ton company has every earmark
Of dastardly German plot. Ger
tainIy nothing could be gained
from this act by any of the par
ties engaged in the legal trouble
which has concerned this com
pany for some years.
1t is easy TO understand the dire
results that would follow the de
struction Of The ilumc at this
time when the food problem Is
fast reaching an acute stage in
determining the result Of the war,
A shortage of water in the Bitter
Root Valley this season, we need
hardly say would cause great
losses to the farmers in that SEE
ton and would be serious bust
ness for all of the towns in this
section, including Missoula. II
the purpose was to aid the l.ais-
er's cause, as we have no DOUBT II
was, then certainly there was Il
fiendish ingenuity in the plot. 1t
gives further assurance that the
war is being brought right to our
own doors and ought to have the
effect of arousing everybody to
the necessity of general house
cleaning of all persons who bear
the faint of suspicion.
One sncaking German spy in
the community, directing his
work along such lines as this Bit
ter Root affair, could do more
damage than could be repaired
by thousands in the very brief
time in which this war must be
decided.

YOUR WAR GARDEN.

Don't rob yourself of flowers even ia
war times. There is no better anti
dote for the war horror. and there is
no reason why the vegetable garden
should not be bordered with sucn
plants as gladioli. dahlias, sunflowers
and various other ANIMALS. Indeed,
some of the vegetables themselves hav,,
beautiful blossoms. The scarlet run
ner bean and the sugar pea, for OK
ample, have beautiful flowers ;ad both
are excellent vegetables. Old time
gardens are often bordered with pars-
ley, and most of the herbs when grown
in little beds are delightful to look
upon.

brilliant have been the achievements
of military engineers in the present
war. particularly those Of the Italian
army. but for sheer audacity none
surpasses the feat Of a. remnant
of the Serbian forces, making a last
stand in a wild section Of their ma
tive mountains. The story was told
by an "Amerikansky," Serb who had
given up prosperous business in
Montana to answer the call to arms,
writes Lewis X. Freeman in Popular
Mechanics
The "Amerikansky," now an officer,
was one Of II band Of several hundred
which had made it's way up steep,
rugged valley: Attacks falling, two
Austrian regiments encamped at the
mouth of the valley to hem the defend
ers in. Just above their position "a dam
had been built across the ravine to
store water for irrigation. 1t was
known to be defective.
Huddled about the fires in their
winter quarters, the Serbs conceived
the idea of building a second dam far
up in the mountains to accumulate "a
great quantity of water. This would
be released when the spring freshets
came. in the hope that 1t would sweep
away inc ueIeCtiNc ofcI
whelm the enemy.
With no tools, save few axes,
shovels and picks, and but u little
dynamite, they set about the task of
building a crib of logs across the
channel Some were put In position,
but the bed of the stream was too
shallow and rocky to float the more
distant trunks into place. The water
could not be raised because 1t flowed
through the crevices between the logs
already In position
Having worked in mines in this
country, the "Amerikansky" diverted
n cascade against the face of a cliff
to sluice down earth to fill up these
cracks. The, only result was liquid
mud, which flowed downstream. Then
came a torretial rain. and the swol-
len current swept all their work away.
The gallant band was in despair
when there came a tremendous roar:
the cascade had undermined the cliff
and it had fallen, completely blocking
the stream. Soon a great lake filled
the valley.
Again the "Amcrkansky" had an
inspiration. The nozzle Of his sluicc
was turned upon the mass of debris.
through which IT quickly cut away
and the accumulated water went
roaring down the valley. The second
dam collapsed and the enemy was
wiped out. The Austrian papers ad-
mitted that regiment had persisted
through IAN act of God,55 with which
the Serbs agreed, for they believe the
hand of Providence guided them in
their work
