NEW BIDS
ARE WANTED
SPECIFICATIONS FOR DELIVERY
OF ROCK At THE DOD-
SON ,DAM--BlDS WILL
BE OPENED AUG. 20

Owing to SO few bids being in
last Saturday at the time for
which bids were to be- let for
2000 cords of rock, it was decid-
ed to readvertise for bids.
There were only five bids sub
mitted and the price asked was
considered somewhat too high.
The following is the new call:
Proposals are requested for
delivery Of between 1000 and
1000 cords of rock at Dodson
damsite or f. o. b. cars at any
G.. N. r. r. siding between Glas-
gov and Pacific Junction, ex-
cept that a bid may be submitted
for a less amount than 1000 cords
and the same will be considered
on it's merits. The exact amount
between 1000 and 1000 cords will
be fixed by Engineer during
progress of work. In accept
ance OF bids the United States
will l'be governed by the cost to
itself as paid down at the Dod-
son damsite, thus adding the
freight charges. which the Unit
ed States will pay, to the pro
posal price, No rock is to be
less than 6 in. in diameter and
so per cent of rock must not be
less than IL in. in diameter.
Rock if delivered at the damsite
shall be piled at places designat-
ed by the Engineer and in such
shape that it can be easily and
accurately measured. If rock is
loaded on cars, measurements of
quantities will be made on the
cars.
Not less than 400 cords must
be delivered by September 30,
not less than 700 cords by Octo-
Der 80, not less than 1000 cords
by November 30 and balance if

SCHOOL. BEGINS
SEPTEMBER 9TH
MALTA HIGH SCHOOL WITH AN
OUTLINED COURSE OF
STUDY WILL START
SEPTEMBER 9TH.

Through the untiring efforts
OF the Malta school board the
people of Malta and Valley coun-
ty and the eastern end Of Chou
teau county have now a high
school organized that is second
to none in Monta ma, and one that
offers all the advantages that
the very best eastern schools
will give. On September 9TH, the
Malta high school will be open
with competent teachers in ev-
cry department and the high
school studies will be given es-
pecial attention by the board
and the faculty, and with the as
sistance that the people of Malta
will give. it will undoubtedly
prove to be the most successful
school in Northern Montana.
The fact of a higher education
for the children of this section
of the country has been
recognized by the board for
sometime but as everyone, who
is familiar with educational in
stitutiOns knows, it takes con-
siderable money to successful ly
build up a high school. where all
the most up-to date methods are
used. 1t took somc time for the
board to make such arrange
mentS as to warrant them TO pro
Ceed with so large an undertake
ing. However, today the E H.
tie rpris e is proud to state that
the board has been so success
full as to organize one of the most
complete hie schools in North
ern Montana.
Parents who have children old
enough to attend q high school
should by all means send them
to Malta, for not only does Nal
ia offer splendid advantages for
the education Of the children,
but it's healthful environment
should also come into cOnsidera-
ton. Our beautiful churches,
with their devoted pastors, will
also be great factors in school
ing the young mind. Social ad-
vantages are equal to any in the
