MAKE HASTE.
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.

the execution of these plans. Mayor
Logan sheuld have the earnest co
operation of the members of the coun

in the matter In any way. There is

support which his plan merits.
IN A NEW FIELD.
There is one of our national re
sources that can never become ex

drain may be upon it. The field of
litigation is always open: there ir
always something for somebody to *eue

for the activity of the lawyer are ever
opening. It Is natural that aeriai
litigation should follow aerial naviga

to the aeroplane. particularly when

Should tI:..' Wrights be successful

almost a world-wide monope.ly of aero

WHAT, INDIED?
.Missoula. it seems. is the first city
to run up against the serious condi

state law which will give officers con

state and there are some of our sister
cities which have expressed sympathy h

RICKARD-GLEASON COMSBNATION
BID WINS OUT, DESPITE
VIGOROUS PROTEST.
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.

many. made a game race for lila Pa

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

similar announcement, and Stokeholdir

an effort to show that it was not tit

"I was Induced to comoe across th?

representation that everything was to

Eddie (raney's Is. Graney's bid

to the fighters."
"Well, I've been lit this fight busi

Gleason, and was about to continu",
when McCarey jumped to his feet and
hurled his wallet across the long table,

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

A wsoman's goal is usually ivte anti
marriage. Hier crowning glory is her

right here where we live. are thou

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.

rations which contain ingredients
harmful to the scalp and hair.
As a result of such treatment dan
druff is created. the hair lotsens, ltoes

Coffroth the Man Behind.
San Francisco, Dee. 2.-Today os
sporting men here received private :ul.

of the bids for the Jeffries-Johnstn
fight, the conviction grew that James

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

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

the affair.
It is no longer a secret that a str'ng
