CAUGHT ON THE HUN ABOUT TOWN PEOPLE YOU KNOW AND SOME OF THE THINGS THEY SAY AND DO. Yesterday afternoon Stoddard & Price completed the transfer of the southwest corner of BIG DEAL East Main and Pattee IN DIRT streets, turned over the deeds to C. M. Al len and W. P. Wills and put into their pockets checks for $25,000, the purchase price of the corner, which is rone of the best pieces of unimproved property in the city. These lots are a part of the original townslte; the sale covers all the ground between the Union block and Pattee street, and the transfer Is one of the most Impor tant deals of the season. It is stated that there will be a fine business block erected on this property as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made; the location is fnle and the property is specially desirable. The deal has been pending for several (lays, while the deeds and abstracts have been in preperation; yesterday all of the papers were completed and approved; then the payment was m(ade and the lots changed ownership. The corner is interesting, as it was the home, in early days, of Judge Pomeroy, who introduced the dande lion into this city, sending east for some seed, as he wanted to see the old-fashioned flowers growing; he suc ceeded beyond his fondest expecta tions. But his old garden will soon be buried beneath a great business block, and of the old residence corners in tile heart of the city there will re main only the Higgins place, opposite the property that was sold yesterday. Through Frank P. Keith, yesterday, the half block onl Pattee and Front streets, belonging to ANOTHER the estate of Jose'lph GOOD ONE Solomon, was sold to the Missoula Mercan tile company. This property lies just hack of the Front street warelhouse of the Missoula Mercantile complanly and will afford the comlpanly room for the necessary expansion. This land has been vacant for several years, and, with the exception of ia building erected by a lessee and fronting on Pattee street, is yet without buildings. Th.e plans for the new (Ir,,nhuood buildllinlg on lIIggins avenue are comn pleted and hids will be PLANS ALL cnalled for in a day or READY NOW two for the rection of this substantial struc ture. The excavatlionl is practically completed and Henry (Irelnhood, who is al'tinlg for his brother, will adver tise for the bids in a short time. This excavation work has all beell done this winter and was interrupted but once after It was started. There will be no delay on the work of thei foundation and superstructure, as it is desired to have the building ready at the earliest possible moment, the understanding being that the entire promises have been leased before the construction Is started. Yesterday the bricklayers on the new Lucy building at the corner of Hllg gins avenue and Pine BRICKWORK street made a good GOE8 ON showing with the outer walls of the second story. The window frames have been set for some days and the masons have taken advantage of the good weather to get the brickwork along; yesterday's showing was the best that has been made in any day, and an other day or two of the same sort of weather will bring things up to the carpenters again. Contractor Che vigny has been delayed somewhat by the tardy arrival of steel, but all the material is here now and ihe will have the building inclosed in a short time. It is developing into a handsome structure as the work advances, and will be a decided ornament to tie avenue. The construction of the concrete cot tages on the Iteinhard property on East Spruce street, REINHARD which has been sus COTTAGES pended for some time, was resunled yesterday morning and these attractive build ings will be under roof in a few days-. The walls and nearly all of the ma sonry work are completed, so that the carpenters will be able to proceed without delay. A good-sized force of omen is at work and these buildings will be completed as soon as possible. Coming down the street yesterday morning it did not seem much like February. There were PLEASANT the building operations MORNING In progress that have already beein mentioned and there were, signs of more of the same. The ILoisy work of the carpen ters and theit hustle of the bricklayers forlmed a Ipleasant tccompllallnimltnt to the hun of the city's daily husiness, and the call, "More mort," set the hodcarriers scrt'llubling up the ladder and added It cheery note to Ille early chorus. Tile sun shone bright and clear, and froml the corner by Mc Htaffle's store a wheezy handorgan sent out the strains of "The Good Old Sullmmer Time" in a mlanner that brought the tears to the eyes of the chief of police and coaxed a dollar froml his pocket Into the tin cup of the organ grinder. It was a warm, bright morning, all right. And it makes you homesick for the season when all tile mornings are like that. "lien" F. Sanders, one of tile old timers of western Montana, is in town from his ranch at PIONEER Paradise. Mr. Sanders IN TOWN came qp to town to secure the serv ices of an occullst for his little granddaughter, who accompanies him. He took advantage of tile opportunity to call on some of his old friends and had a pleasant sort of at day. "It is forty-three years since I first saw this place," said he to a Missoullan re porter yesterday afternoon. "There wasn't any sign of a town here then, and it looks mighty different now. But there's a good many of the old residents left, and I have had a good time vilslting them." Mr. Sanders was for years a farmer in the Bitter Root and he now has a splendid farm at the confluence of the Missoula and Money to loan on im proved city and farm prop erty; 5 years, with privilege of repayment in two and one half years.

Principal Thomas of the high school has received a letter from Professor Cooley of the state ag PLAN 1S rlcultural college, com- I PRAISED mending the action of the Missoula school In taking up the proposition of establish ing an agrlcultural course. Professor Cooley urges that a distinctively hor ticultural course be incorporated In the plan. "Missoula," he writes, "is the ideal place for the development of this work and you should by all means make a specialty of it." CONVENTION MARKED BY TURMOIL MINE WORKERS ARE UNABLE TO AVOID CONFLICTS IN THEI'R SESSIONS. Itlianapolin , Feb. 4.-All efforts of the conservative element ini the con ve'ntion of the United Mine Workers to expedite business by excluding per sonal controversies between factional leaders seem futile. Early today a resolution was adopted that all the speakers must confine themselves strictly to the subject in hand, but nIlvertheless, the day was one of tur moll. The convention adopted a res olution that the national executive board has exceeded its authority in suspending the officers of the Indiana district for disobeying an order that the miners should return to work in the Hudson mine pending the adjust ment of a strike. This practically was .t reversal of the conventlon's action a few days ago when it approved the course of President Lewis in the matter, and indicates that the dele gates will adopt a new interpretation to the, sections of the constitution de fining the authority of the national officers. Samuel Gompers' name was brought into the discussion of the convention as the cause of the failure of the Ala hanma strike and he was charged with opposing the miners in the interest of the state authorities. This was in line with many allegations that the union leaders had "played politics" and that the tewis administration was self-seeking. ARGUMENTS COMPLETED. Chicago, Feb. 4.-Arguments were completed today in the intervening pe tition of the minority stockholders of the Chicago Terminal Transfer conm pany to have the lease of the Balti more & Ohio railroad set aside in order, it is alleged, to save the assets of the company becoming the property of E.

Schiff with causing the bankruptcy of the terminal company. CENTENARIAN IS DEAD. irusscels, Feb. 4.-Mme. Anna Ru baix, known as the centenarian of Linguay, is dead.

Washington, Feb. 4.-In the house today the bureau of plant industry was given a raking over by Mr. Mann, who charged that the money appro priated for testing papermaking plans had been wasted. Mr. Cole of Ohio made a strong plea for an appropriation of $200,000 for experiments in the manufacture of pa per from corn stalks and offered an amendment to that end. The amendment, however, was with drawn after notice of a point of order against it by Mr. Scott, who said it had been fully demonstrated that pa per could be manufactured from corn stalks. Despite Mr. Scott's protest the chair overruled a point of order against the amendment by Mr. Mann, appropriat ing $10.000 for the testing of such plaets as may require tests to ascer tain if they are suitable for making paper. By way of a substitute, which was agreeable to Mr. Mann, Mr. Davis of Minnesota offered an amendment ap propriating $10,000 for breeding fibrous plants which" may be used for paper making. The, amendment was adopted. ANOTHER "TOUCH." May Smith, colored, was arrested last night on Second street by Officer Therrfault, charged with having "touched" a railroad laborer who gave his name as Frank Sharkey, of $40. Sharkey claims that while he was in the woman's room she grabbed his money, and while he was struggling with her to regain possession of it, another man, whose presence was a surprise to Sharkey, stood in the door way of the room end the woman gave the money to him, after which he disappeared. Sharkey was unable to give a description of the strange man, other than he thinks he was a ne gro. The woman was taken to the county jail, and will be brought to trial as soon as possible.
