Open 'Till 2 A. M. PEAK'S 316 Higgins Avenue Eaiy for the home folk Instant Postum No boiling Holiday Setting Provided for Crowd of Saturday Night Shoppers. Soft flakes of snow and the cheery clamor of sloighhclls made a merry holiday Retting- fir the great crowds of Christmas shoppers who thronged the downtown streets last night. We have had winter before now, true enough, but it has been either bitter as in those grim late winter months when the coal bills chill the heart beyond all cheering or weakly lachry mose as in those dreary weeks of spring before the greening- world has i vcrgrown the melancholy litter left by the melting- snow.

Ijist night was different. The air was not cold enough to bite, nor warm enough to make things slushy. Precisely the temperature needed to bring color to the cheeks and give firmness to the snow and make the warm glows of Christmas windows appreciated was in the air. It was a Christmas sort of evening, and the whole city enjoyed it. All the downtown stores, their windows filled with gay displays of Christmas offerings, were brightly lighted and crowded to the doors.

The, streets themselves, filled with a busy, happy crowd, were cheerful. Apparently 'Missoula is saving time and money and nerres by doing- its Christmas shopping early. Anyhow an unwonted number filled the stores and streets, and most of the bundles lugged about looked as if they were destined for trees and stockings. The jingle of sleighbells, which is winter's satisfactory substitute for summer songs, added to the gaiety. True, the sleighing- might have been better.

Hut though runners sometimes cut through to pavement and unoaulked feet sliped at the corners and proceeded slowly always, no one seemed to mind. Sleds and sleighs of all sorts were on the streets, the sound of their bells putting Christmas within reach. TRAINING COURSES FOR FOREST RANGERS Twelve rangers from the. national forests have been detailed to the Sav-enae nursery near Haugeu for a six weeks' course training in surveying, mapping, fire protection, timber Hales and all the other parts of the work of the forest service.

The conference is held at Savenac this year so that the men can take advantage of the buildings and accommodations at the nursery station.

LINDBORG'S 133 Alder Street. Phone 27 Tlio car ishortago which was given nation-wide publicity a short time ago and Is still said to exist In the largo industrial centers of the east is not noticeable throughout the territory tributary to Missoula. Railroad men familiar with the car situation do not find there is any shortage of cars in this district, or that there is much likelihood of such a shortage arising In the near future. "I do not believe that there Is much occasion for worry," said a Northern Pacific man yesterday. "In so far as coal is concerned there Is plenty of commercial coal in Missoula and more on the roadr Helena Is reported to have a plentiful supply.

As we turned over several hundred cars to the Idafio division yesterday it would appear that we are able to take care of at least the present demand for equipment." Road Foreman Ti. Re Van of the Northern Pacific has been transferred to the Montana division for a few months. Mr. Re Van will have the same position there as he held on the Rocky Mountain division. The reason for the temporary transfer is that the amount of business originating on the' Montana division makes it necessary to give special attention to keeping the business on the move and power is the prime requisite.

The Montana divi sion in the railroad phraseology is the neck of the battle." On this division arc located the coal mines at Laurel and the Butte mines also contribute largely to the volume of traffic originating between Livingston and Rutte and Helena. Engineer Harry Allen has been named as successor to Mr. Re Van during his absence and has tem porarily abandoned his run on 3 and 4. Coroner Fails to Find Any Means of Identifying Drowned Man.
