Comet the opportunity is rare; tire stock reduced; Come On the run Abwil Town Friday night brought to Missoula as a visitor a aiian from Texas who had come here with his FROM brother-in-law upon the TEXAS recommendation of tile latter, wiio had declared that the western Montana climate was Just what the man from the south wa.s looking for in his Quest for a location that would mend his Health.

Friday evening' the man from Texas was a caller at The Missoulian office and ho was not cordial in his concurrence in the opinion of his relative regarding Missoula's climate. It was chilly there was no question about tliat and the visitor i.vent back to his hotel. Saturday morning's bree2e failed to inspire him with admiration for the salubrity of the climate, although he admitted ho did not suffer from the cold as he had expected he would. Saturday afternoon he walked out and was surprised to find how comfortable it was. Saturday evening he got the news tliat the thermometer registered IS degrees below zero in Texas and that was 24 degrees colder than it was in Missoula.

Since then he has been thinking about the error of forming impressions too soon. Tomorrow the poultry show. The preparations are elaborate and the Indications are that there CLUCKERS will be a fine display of COMING fowls. Secretary Austin of the Missoula association and Judge Norton of Eoze-man, who will determine the awards, have been busy for several days with the final details and the prospects are good for nn unusually fine show. A good many birds have been entered already and the secretary expects to have his hands full with the final entries which will bfe made today.

There is much local interest among Missoula people who are not hen fanciers but who like eggs and broilers and who welcome any movement that has for its purpose the improvement of either or both. It was one of these non-combatants who remarked yesterday: "I was pleased with the show last year and I am going to this one. I enjoyed the crowing contest last winter and I would like to see the promoters pull off a laying contest this week. I would be much more interested in that, as the crow of a rooster is not as marketable as the egg of a hen. If they could pull off a laying contest in as lively fashion as they did the crowing match, it would, be great." There was general satisfaction expressed yesterday over the agreement which was reached DECISION Saturday night by the PLEASES conference between the city and county school boards, with the parents of eighth-grade pupils as the parties of the third part.

The ease with which the agreement was reached after the boards got together showed that 'most of the trouble had been caused by the busy work of go-betweens who had not been at all careful as to what they said. Each board, it seems, had been misrepresented to the other and each misunderstood the position of the other. It was easy to disagree 'under those conditions, and the men who brought 'the boards together for conference rendered good service. "There should be complete co-operation between the two boards," said one of the interested parents yesterday. "That is the only way we can get full value for the investment we make in, our schools.

There is no occasion for any discord; the pull-together doctrine should apply here if anywhere. The city and county should have no differences at all." This morning there promises to be something of a rush at the box office of the Harnois, as the THE SALE sale of seats for the IS TODAY Montgomery Stone performance opens today. These comedians have a reputation which adds to the interest of their coming here and Uncle Charlie says he has had more inquiries about "The Old Town" than he has about any other recent performance. "People seem to be anxious to see these funny folks," said he to the Man About Town, "and I look for a warm welcome for them when they come Tuesday night. There have been letters and telephone calls of Inquiry about this show and it is a cinch that there will be an audience worthy of the performers." Cuthbert Pent, commissioner of public safety, has branched out and Is now in the Inventing busi-PEAT ness, which he 'carries INVENTS on in conjunction w'ith his regular business of conserving Missoula's welfare.

Mr. Peat's invention Is guaranteed by him to Solve the problem which Worries many a mother, that of keeping the children at home. Mr. Peat's system Is to build rttobbogan slide in the back yard. A platform constructed by two-by-fours and planks Is sot at the ton of a runway.

Judicious application of water on a cold night gives the children a beautiful "slide for life" and serves to keep them of the slre-n. There seems to be only one drawback to the scheme. Mr. Peat says it kens his children at home and that lieav'y nil of the neighbors' children also patronize his slide. He does hot slide whether the neighbors take the same 1 View of his Invention as he does.

In the matter of cleared-off sidewalks, the north side of the river showed up a long way ahead of the CLEARED south side yesterday. A WALKS stroll around tmwn was convincing in that re spect.

he will find a surprising array of birds ready to be The score-card system will be used and the fanciers will thus be enabled to secure a complete record of the standing of their birds which may be preserved. From the minute the poultry show opens on Tuesday morning until the closing hour Saturday night there will be of interest to fanciers at the show. All fanciers and anyone interested in any phase of the chicken business should not overlook the educational advantages to this show. They should take a week off and be in attendance every day. Judge Collier is a man with a reputation that places him high up, on the list of poultry experts.

He is coming to Missoula tc jiidge the poultry publically and to answer questions and give advice to anyone who cares to seek after his knowledge. In the Pacific Poul-tryinan recently Judge Collier offered the following pointers to exhibitors which are of interest at this time: 'V, Collier's Pointers. If you have a- neighbor who might become a fancier, bring him or her to the show, and you will make a poultryman. Get acquainted with the judge. You will find him as anxious to meet you as you would be to meet him.

Ask him all the questions you care to, but do not got mad if ho gives the other fellow the ribbons. Do not run down another fancier's birds. Praise your birds for all they are worth, but do not make comparisons. Do not claim you have left your best birds at home, as everyone will believe you are "fibbing." That old story has "whiskers" on It a mile long. Bring your birds into the showroom in the best trim you can.

Handle them carefully, so as not to break feathers. Get them so that they will be quiet when the judge comes around. A hit in the face with a wing has cost a lot of birds a half point, for they Invariably break their feathers when tbey got flighty. Put a price on your birds, whether you want to sell or not. If you put a long price on them you will some times make sales that will surprise you.

Be a "good fellow" In the showroom and take your medicine when beaten, but make up your mind that another year you will have just a little better birds, and If the other fellows beat you nother year tliey must have better bird. There will bo some sort of entertainment provided at the showrooms every evening. In collection with the poultry there will be crowing contests every evening and Saturday evening th.ro will be a special feature which will be announced later in (he week. Among the talks to be made on poultry subjects will be the following: Wednesday evening "How I nmn-aired to Gel 15 Ee.gs From 22 Pullets In November and December." T. II.

Philadelphia, Jan. 7 ntcher Burns oT the Philadelphia Nationals will be sept to the Mlrinenp.ili.t ten hi a result of a conference held here today between JToMident Fjogol und Malinger Doulu. A- Sheriff W. I Kelley returned home last night from Missouri, where he went about 10 days ago after Oscar M. Olson, an insurance agent who operated for some time in western Montana and who is wanted here on a charge of beating his company out of about $1,200.

Mr. JCelley came back alone, justly Indignant at the treatment he received at the hands of the prosecuting attorney of St. Joseph, who fought him tooth and toenail in the matter of securing possession of Olson, and who finally succeeded In keeping the prisoner there, where there is a charge against him. However, Sheriff Kelley feels certain that Olson will be secured In the near future and will be brought back here to face the charge against him, In explaining' the situation Sheriff Kelley said last night: The "Through a contemptible trick on the part of Prosecuting Attorney C. C.

Far-i-ell of St. Joseph I was unable to get liny hands oh Olson and bring him back to Missoula, and I had an experience with officers of the law there which is no credit to some of them. As you will remember, Olson vas arrested by the chief of police, of St. Joseph upon my instructions and was held for three days on the Montana warrant which was telegraphed. I arrived in Jefferson City and secured the necessary extradition papers Without trouble and landed in St.

Joseph Saturday bight only to Jind that Olson ha4 been taken from, the police by the. prosecuting attorney and the sheriff on a warrant they held on an indictment which Is four years old. In this cose the Burlington railroad is the complaining witness, Olson having been wire chief lor the company at St. Joseph at 'the time of the trouble, he being accused of having discharged one of the men under him and then drawn his salary for seven months afterward. Want Olson'a Money.

"When I learned of this case I went to see Judge Spencer, chief counsel of the road, and he informed ine that his company did not wish to prosecute the case and would not appear against Olson at this time. I then went to see Judge T. F. Ryan, the criminal judge there, and after he learned the situation he called up the prosecuting attorney and advised that the case against Olson there be dismissed and that the prisoner be delivered to me. Farrell, the attorney, however, still refused to act and finally stated that he positively would not consent to the discharge of the prisoner there.

Then I learned a few things about this man Farrell and the reason why he was so anxious to prevent me from taking Olson. Olson still had $250 of the money he stole in Montana in his possession. Farrell's law partner was retained by Olson to defend him in the action there. If the case were dismissed there and I took Olson away this attorney would not be able to get his hands on this money, I accused Farrell of having framed up this deal so that his partner could get Olson's money-, and he didn'jt attempt to der.j-the charge. He is no good and trick that he turned was "pretty raw.

"However, I have arranged things so that we will get Olson as soon as the case against him there is discharged. The chief of police is a prihee of a fellow and he now holds the governor's warrant and the Montana wrarrant for Olson's arrest. I was able 'to leave these papers with him ready to serve through the kindness of Governor Hadley, or I went to him and explained just what had happened and he refused to withdraw the Missouri extradition papers, although the St. Joseph attorney, Farrell, was very anxious for him to do so. It will Only be a short time before Olson will ne arrested on the Montana charge and we will be able to bring him back.

Olson Talks. "1 saw Olson and had a talk with him. He scoffed at the Montana charges and said that he expected to return her In about 10 days. His wlfo and family are In St. Joseph.

"Shortly after reaching St. Joseph, Olson gave out an interview to a newspaper in which he stated that he had Tnade a fortune in the cattle business in Montana, had retired and come back to make his home there. He sent his best regards to "all the boys" in Missoula and was overjoyed that I could not brlnpf him back. "Other than having failed to get tny mart I had a very pleasant trip. It was cold, however, all the time.

After leaving Billings until I g-ot back that far I doh't think I passed through any weather thut was above zero." BALL AT GRASS VALLEY CALLS TO JOLLY CROWD In all of the history of the (many dances that have been enjoyed ot the Cyr hall at Grass valley and there have been some "humdingers" there the benefit ball there Saturday night holds the record, both for attendahcu and for the enjoyment of the crowd. The dance was held for ihe benefit of Mrs. McG-owan, who lost everything she owned In the big Frenehtown fire, and was attended by sleigh load after sleigh load of people from Missoula and the surrounding country. The hall was so crowded enrly in the evening that only about half of thorny present could be on the floor (it one time, but everybody had a good time and it was 4 n. m.

and there is no need for any formality as in the creation of an improvement district. All that is required to get the snow from walks is a little good citizenship, a fair amount Of muscle and a shovel. The city would be better if all walks were shoveled off and it is easier shoveling before the snow gets packed than It Is afterward. MORE TAXES RAISED BY IDAHO COUNTY PAYS SEVENTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS OVER LAST YEAR. Wallace, Jan, 7 (Special.) In the year Just concluded Shoshone county raised $74,372 in taxes more than in the year of 1910, according to figures just made public by Assessor John Do-lan.

This is a gain of 28 per cent and comes largely as a result of the increased valuation tinder Governor Hawley'g full cash valuation plan and comes in spite of reductions in all of the levies which were changeable under the law. In the year 1910 this county raised for all purposes up to the time of delinquency $267,855. The collections up to December 31 eft last year are Of this gain $45,000 is in the state and county fund which was Iheld large by the supreme court's ruling prohibiting all proposed reductions beyond the minimus fixed by law. These are the levies which GoverAor Haw-ley had expected to see changed by the state board of equalization. According to the interpretation which he placed on the law, the provision in to so-called fixed levies was "directory and not mandatory." The next largest increase, is In the taxes of the city of Wallace, which are $25,749 this year as against $17,521 the year previous.

Each of the several school districts, however, shows an increase, ranging from a few dollars to more than $1,000. Owing to the record-breaking paydays during the last week, the delinquency list, expected to be the largest in years, exceeds last year in the state and county fund by but $3,240. In 1910, this figure was $8,572, and in 1911 it was $11,812. On December 30, the last payday of the year, 710 receipts were issued from the tax collector's office. This mark is probably the highest In the.

history of Shoshone county. The year 1910 was considered very large, but the receipts for the last day of that year totaled but 448. SHUSTER QUITS. Teheran, Jan. 7.

A wireless message indistinctly received here tonight reported the United States torpedo boat destroyer Terry in trouble. The vessel's position was given a little northeast of Capo Hatteras. The vessel was in communication with the steamer Tagus and the battleship South Carolina.

Further wireless advices from vessels in communication with the Terry were that the destroyer's turbine engines and pumps were out of commission, all her stores were ruined and iher wireless apparatus was not working.
