As far as The Missoullan can learn, there is no opposition in the city to the construction of a municipal newer system, along lines which have been laid down by Engineer Swearingen. To the contrary, there Is everywhere the most cordial approval of the prosegatlon to do agmething and to di it at onoe. The final obstacle In the way of a start upon this work was removed when the state board of health sanetioned the use of the river for thb discharge of the city's sewage. What we have to do now is to get ready to dig so that there will be nothing In the way of a beginning ;when spring eopes. There are the Improvement districts to be organised and the 4teliminary steps taken to ward awarding the contracts. These matters will neesesarily condame some time. It i the plan of Mayor Logan to get all of this advance work out of the way this winter so that the digging can be staute at the earliest possible moment. This will make It possible to pave the avenue next summer. which I. the purpose of the mayor. In the execution of these plans. Mayor Logan sheuld have the earnest co operation of the members of the coun cil and of all citlsens who can assist in the matter In any way. There is n(. doubt that he will receive the support which his plan merits. IN A NEW FIELD. There is one of our national re sources that can never become ex hausted no matter how severe the drain may be upon it. The field of litigation is always open: there ir always something for somebody to *eue somebody else for and new avenues for the activity of the lawyer are ever opening. It Is natural that aeriai litigation should follow aerial naviga tion; and that it what has happe'ed. Last week's New York papers con tained large display advertisements. exploiting the attractions of an air ship that "any amateur can handle. Upon the heels of this, a lawsuit was due and it has arrived. The Wrights *have sued for an injunetion. restraen ing the Glenn ('urtiss peeeple from using the aeroplane which they are making. The case comes up for hear ing tomorrow. The gist of the cltam meadth ie the W'ights is that the new Herring ('urtiss aeroplane, which teas built for the Aeronautic society. centaina sea eral infringements of the Wright patents, which are registered at Wa eh Ington and In practically every t itll ised country. The mRain infrat.eneent. it is alleged, lies in the use of the flexible wing tips which give stability to the aeroplane. particularly when glkeing or making turns. Should tI:..' Wrights be successful in the federal courts and prewure the Injunction they ask feer they will have almost a world-wide monope.ly of aero plane construction at its present stage. for there is hardly a heavier-than-air flying machine of any consequence which does not use tiae flexible wing tip in one form or another. Even the Bleriot machine in which the French aviate ' croesed the English channel last sumemr though a monoplane, and thus essentially different In its con stractioa from the Wright flyer. has alexible tips at the extremnit- of its ti1s or planes and would le- practi cally useless without them. The AWights have advanced their 'tiins Informally when comparing their anachba. with others, but this is the AIt evaprt step they have taken to ialilhik their sots right to use the Oi Xhs tUps. Other aeronautical Maeers have decried the idea that th Whight patents gave them the sole lt to use this device. and have that -g before the Wrights so* WasE in the invention ef fly appkblaas Hiram Maximn. Chanute and others had devised the flexible tip Idea and had adapted It in one form or another to aeroplane construction. WHAT, INDIED? .Missoula. it seems. is the first city to run up against the serious condi tions resulting from the lack of any p state law which will give officers con trol of patients sufferir.g from small pox. The plight of this city has at tracted attention elsewhere in the state and there are some of our sister cities which have expressed sympathy h fo' Mlissoula: others are too much b alarmed by the possibilities of the situation to have time to say they are sorry, though they doubtless are. The Billings Gazette. after reviewing I' the local situation, says: "It is now declared that the repeal of the luar antine law was a mistake-some peo- l ple think the term, 'criminal blunder' a would be better, and the question now is 'What are we going to do about a it,. r Perhaps Zelaya will never read the " letter of dismissal which Mr. Knox s gave to the Nicaraguan charge c d'affaires at Washington, but he can read what a coming to him by a ti study of the situation. ; If all the male denizens of the had lands were to contribute $1,000 to the F city before hiking to parts unknown, there would be some style to their exit.

New York. lice. 2 --The fight fur the hegvyweight championshipi of the world between James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson will be held in California, 'ear San Francisco, on July 4. 1910. and will be staged by "Tex" Rickard of Nevada and John J. Gleason of San Francisco. Their bid of 101,000 and two-thirds of the moving flieture priv ileges to the contestants was formal ly accepted in a stormy meeting a Hohoken. N. J., this afternoon. Final articles will be drawn up and signed there tomaorrow. It is believed the fight will represent more cash than any other fight in the history of the ring. Thomas J. McCarey of LIo" Angeles. whose hlIl was consaldered highest by many. made a game race for lila Pa cifIc Athletic club, but his cause was witho, t hope . James ('offroth. by vir tue of his control of the two basic pate-its on mntving pictures, had de creed against McCarey and his all., Eddie Grancy of San Francisco, and the fight was given to (;leason and Rickard. who, It is, said by sporting men, have an understanding with Cof froth-a surmise strengthened by the fact that Gleason and Coffroth het' shared one bid In the past. McCarey and Graney estimate that the net value of the moving pictures will be at least $200.000. and may he worth $400.000 Rickard and Gleason declined to esti mate. After Lou Houseman of Chicago, 4s master of ceremonies, had called the meeting to order In a hotel at Ho. boken, Sam Berger. Jeffries' manager, announced that his principal had de c'ded for Rickard and Gleason. George Little. representing Johnson, made a similar announcement, and Stokeholdir Bob Murphy was about to declare th' matter settled when McCarey rose to Insist on reading the Rickard hid in an effort to show that it was not tit best. "I was Induced to comoe across th? continent, protested McCarey, "by the representation that everything was to be above b9ard here. I find it either wise. It my bid is not the best, then Eddie (raney's Is. Graney's bid amounts. Including pictures, to $275,000 to the fighters." "Well, I've been lit this fight busi ness longer thAn you have." spoke up Gleason, and was about to continu", when McCarey jumped to his feet and hurled his wallet across the long table, crying: -There ' at least $25,000 that you haven't." "Hitt I've had bigger fights." per siated Ileason. "I'll bet my pile you haven't," shout ed Met'arey. Oecision Stands. Lou Houseman ,iuieted the argument but there was more wrangling before Berger announced 4eclsively that Jef. fries would not change his verdict. Little made o a similar announcement for Johnson, and Stakeholder Murphy declared the award to Rickard ano Gleason. At Gleason's suggestion the, final signing of the articles was post poned until tomorrow at 11 o'clock, vwhen lawyers will clintb the last tech nicalities. Generally sympathy was expressed for Mc(Carey. He hail preju ,.pced his rather delicate health by a cross-country trip in the expectation of getting the fight. Rickard assured him, as a sup to his chagrin. that it A Bald Headed Woman SHORN OF HER CROWN OF BEAUTY LOSES IN LOVE AND MARRIAGE. Inair is certainly most necessary to twoman. Whi could love and marry a bald-headed woman?. What charms could one array to offset such a dis figurement? A wsoman's goal is usually ivte anti marriage. Hier crowning glory is her hair. The loss of her hair mars her beauty. happiness and success. Yet right here where we live. are thou sands of women neglecting or injur ing their hair t.. such an extent that it is only a matter of time when it will be utterly ruined. Many women destroy the beauty of their hair through thoughtlessness or ignorance of certain facts. They do not shamipo their hair ftten enough. or too. often. They use soaps or prela rations which contain ingredients harmful to the scalp and hair. As a result of such treatment dan druff is created. the hair lotsens, ltoes cultr, falls out. and ltlaldness com Itences, unless proper and prompt pre cautions are taken in time.

San Francisco, Dee. 2.-Today os sporting men here received private :ul. vices from the scene of the openin4 of the bids for the Jeffries-Johnstn fight, the conviction grew that James W. Coffroth is the n.at actually I.e hinli the offer made by Tex Riskar l of Ely. Nev., and John J. Gleason of this city. Instead of being depresscl1 by the news from New York the cl w. associates of C'offroth were elate l when they heard how the mnatter nh, I been decided. It is well known that since his con nection with the co-called "fight tr. Sc" durine th. Sehmitz-Ruef regime r'.tr froth has been unable to secure a per mit to conduct ta fight within the uty limits of San Francisco and for tli:at reason he constructed his "tiunshie' arena" over the line in Sun 11 it. e county. Until lately t'.ffroth was on gomtl terms with the suitervis'rs of that country, but some friction , e veloped when he made his last appili cation for a nerinit and it is not b.e lieved that his troubles in that di rection have at-n patched up. for these reasons sporting men here crn tend that while I offroth will ren n:u the power behind the throne In the coiting fight, his name will not ,ad pear as being directly connected with the affair. It is no longer a secret that a str'ng etftort will he made to have the 1 coning adnjinistration repeal the ordi. nance which forbids the holdin' o' fights of more than 20 rounds dura.
