however, are expected to cover the loss within
two years, as the sheep are thoroushbreds
and will clip twsnty-one pounds each. Fully
se~venty-fve per- cent. of the cattle in tile

A queer locking town-site map is the map
Of Glendale to be seen in surveyor Ma-sh's
office. Starting from some desert claims the
town site follows Trapper creek in its various
meanderings, stretching out long and narrow
in its serpentine course, and apparently finally
losing itself among the hills. This peculiar
shape is made necessary by the mountains
which rise abruptly on either side leaving
only a narrow strip of halfway level ground
close to the creek, to be occupied by the town.
But its originality Of form does not prevent
Glendale from being one of the most promis-
ing business centres Of Montana.
