Bonner. and he delights to afford the
visitor the opportunity to come per

women and the institutions which give
it its extraordinary character. When he
has the time he serves personally rs

has an interesting afternoon.
The interurban car from Missoula

lumber in orderly ranks. On the right

the big, yellow school which resembles
the c~Ourthouses of some of the newer

Then the car proceeds through n long
avenue of c~ottonwoods and poplars to
the stations near the Hotel Margaret.
A Series of Features
If Mr.. Ross is with the visitor the

for the first of a series of striking

Bonner, in fact. has something for
all sorts of people to think and talk
about, though it does very little talk

In the American League the big

Washington. The Yanks buried them
seven victories to one. That is a
heartren nding trimming for the early

reason why Washington is in the
basement. Philadelphia also picked
on Washington to the extent of five
victories against four defeats.
In the western section of the Amer
lean League Chicago was as much q
terror to the Detroits as the Yanks
to the Washingtons. for the Sox won
seven games on. of eight from their
Michigan rivals. When the SoX met
Cleveland and St Louis it was an
other story. Cleveland beat the Sox

them five to two. The Sox hold a
