SNOW AND SLEIGHBELLS Holiday Setting Provided for Crowd of Saturday Night Shoppers. Soft flakes of snow and the cheery clamor of sleighbells made a merry holiday setting for 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 1 cheering or weakly lachrymose as in those dreary weeks of early spring before the greening world has overgrown the melancholy litter left by the melting snow. Last 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 nerves 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. But though runners sometimes cut through to pavement and uncaulked feet slipped at the corners and proceeded slowly always, no one seemed to mind. Sleds and sleighs of all sorts wereeon 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 Sayenac nursery near Haugen for a six weeks' course of training in surveying, mapping, fire protection, timber sales and all the other parts of the work of the forest service. Supervisor Fitzwalter of Sandpoint is to be in charge of the conference and will be assisted by a number of experts in the various subjects from the district offices. This is one of the regular winter conferences for rangers that has been held for the past two or three years for the purpose of giving them additional training in their work. The conference is held at Savenac this year so that the men can take advantage of the buildings and accommodations at the nursery station.

Local Division of the Northern Pacific Able to Fill Demand." The car shortage which was given nation- -wide publicity a short time ago and is still said to exist in the large industrial centers of the east is not noticeable throughout the territory tributary to Missoula. Railroad men familiar with the car situation do not find that 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 road. Helena is reported to have a plentiful supply. As we turned over several hundred cars to the Idaho division yesterday it would appear that we are able to take care of at least the present demand for equipment." Road Foreman B. LeVan of the Northern Pacific has been transferred to the Montana division for a few months. Mr.

LeVan 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 special attention to keeping the business on the move and power is the prime requisite. The Montana division in the railroad phraseology is the "neck of the battle." On this division are located the coal mines at Laurel and the Butte mines also contribute largely to the volume of traffic originating between Livingston and Butte and Helena. Engineer Harry Allen has been named as successor to Mr. LeVan during his absence and has temporarily abandoned his run on 3 and 4.

SUICIDE STILL UNKNOWN Coroner Fails to Find Any Means of Identifying Drowned Man. Late last night no trace had been found as to the identity of the man who committed suicide yesterday morning by walking into the Missoula river near the county pesthouse. Although witnesses say the act was intentional it is believed that the man was mentally deranged when he took his life. Two boys, William Young and Thomas Young, saw the man walk out into the river at 9:30 yesterday morning, and after watching the body float down the river until it caught on an ice floe, notified Coroner Lucy, who recovered the body and brought it to town. The suicide was a middle-aged man, 5 feet, 8 inches tall, weighing about 155 pounds, and wore a dark-colored suit, a mackinaw coat, blue cotton underwear, a black cotton shirt, a soft wool shirt, a red necktie and new black shoes, with rubbers.

The man was smooth shaven an and had blue eyes. The only possessions found on the body were a bunch of keys and an old pipe. No funeral arrangements will be made until the coroner's office can conduct further inquiries into the case and attempt to locate some acquaintance of the dead man, who is believed to be a lumberjack. BURGLAR MAY PROVE ESCAPED JAILBIRD John Clark, suspected of having escaped from the county jail at Detroit, was arrested by Patrolman. W.

J. Moore in Pig alley yesterday afternoon. Clark was arrested on the charge of taking a suitcase belonging to A. C. Sexton from the Avenue room- ing house.

At the police station Patrolman Moore noticed the similarity Clark bore to the picture accompanying the request sent out by the Detroit sheriff. The prisoner was turned over to the county jail to await investigation and trial. REPORT HEAVY SNOWFALL. S. R.

Logan and Jaten arrived in town at 3 o'clock yesterday morning after a hard trip from Leon in the Logan Ford. The elements contested their progress with such violence that the car engine balked and the two men were sentenced to several hours of hard labor at the tow rope. They report a heavy snowfall to the northwest with bad roads all along, especially on the Evaro hill. WARRANT CALL.

CRAWFISH TODAY AT Grand Pacific ET Your THIS STORE Problems SOLVE Holiday Bess, the big white mare who pulls the Wells Fargo express wagon, will soon leave Missoula on her winter vacation. And old Bess, who is well known to most Missoula people after her many trips around the city delivering all kinds and sizes of packages, is more exclusive than most human beings at that. She is going way down to southern California, where the Wells Fargo company has a big ranhe maintained especially for the purpose of allowing the worn out or aged horses to recuperate.

Whenever a Wells Fargo horse gets looking stale or over worked, the animal is sent down to the big pasture, and when it has picked up and is in good shape again, is sent back to the route, though not to the same town generally, Bess had a month's vacation this summer but has gone stale and tomorrow a big white horse will come down from Butte to take her place, so that she, in her animal way, may fittingly celebrate the holidays.

John Quinn, mail clerk of the forest service, has returned from his annual hunting trip, which this year led up Rock creek. Quinn claims that he shot two deer, but the rest of the force say that they have been clamoring in vain for a sight of the game. R. H.
