Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Ladd were
visitors in Glendale Saturday, coming
from Forbes on their way to their home
in Grand Forks. Mr.. Ladd is slowly
recovering from his injuries received in
a wreck on the Great Northern some
time ago. He expects to 20 to work

Havre, Montana.
1 Glendale is in need Of four things to
help it along on the road Of progress.
They are an opera house, hotel, hospital
and rural telephone line. All these
things are needed here and needed bad.
We are away up on schools and
churches secret societies, water works,
light and sewer system, but we need q
place where all classes can 60 for
amusement; we need a place to take
care Of the sick, and a hostelry where
those coming here to take in the advan-
tages can stop with q feeling Of COM
fort. J. The telephone line is need d
to bring the farming community and
the city in closer relationship. It is
safe to say that all these places would
be profitable for the capital invested.
There is no one in Glendale who is
familiar with the growth of the COM
munity but will admit that there is
room for improvement along these
lines, and anyone who will consider the
matter can readily see that the people
are ready for all these necessaries and
will patronize them.
The Farmers and Merchants State
Bank of Monango has just been or
ganized in our thriving sister city north
of us. Monango, like all other towns Of
the county, has grown to greater inn
portance the past few years and the in
creased demand Of business seems to
warrant the establishment Of another
financial institution. The stockholders
of the new institution are made up Of
prosperous farmers in the vicinity and
business men of Monango, representing
half million dollars. The directors Of
the bank are, E. E. Crisp, P. 2. Mowry
and E. Magoffin. The officers are E.E.
Crisp, president; P. 2. Mowry, cashier,
and E. Magoffin, vice president. The
bank will be open for business April Is,
1907. The home Of the new bank, we
understand, will be in the building now
occupied by Mr.. Green as drug store.
