''How about business conditions in

Business conditions in Montana are

was more land located in Montana last
year by actual settlers than in any other

greater than ever before In Montana.

ments upon the general health conditions

forcing state health regulations.

lawmakers to make the best OF their Op

PICKS SITE FOR
CHAPTER HOUSE
American WOman'S League De-
cides to Establish Home on
East Bench.
OUT OF SIXTY-TW0
MEMBERS TWO DISSENT
Active Work 10 Be Started as
Soon as National Directors
Ratify Choice.

The first chapter house of the Ameri
can Wornan's league to be built in the
state Is assured for the near future.
The assurance was given Tuesday night
OF a meeting OF the league held in the
parlors OF the Kenyon hotel when, IN
accordance with the action OF the lot
committee. taken earlier in the day. the
league voted almost unanimously TO ac-
cept the magnificent offer OF the Douglas
Park people. made through Walter ].
Meeks, OF building site in the center
of their addition. There were Sixty-two
members present. who were paid UP and
had the privilege OF IL decisive vote on
the proposition, and Of these sixty were
for the acceptance and two against II.
Inc site is one of the most desirable
on the whole east bench. II is an arrow
about one acre OF ground, and the gift
carries with II an option on the two
corners cut out of the triangle. which the
league may hold for TWO years of may
purchase outright, 1t will mean that the
club will be recreation club for the
league members and their friends, and
be drawn from the parent organization
may be put into the building instead OF
using any money for the purchase of a
site. an action which would have been
sidered
The sum which may be expended:
therefore, probably will reach well
toward SIS, 600 instead oil the $40: 900, AS
at first suggested. This increase is due
largely 10 tie fact that within the past
few days many new members have been
added TO the league. bringing the MEM
bershIp in this territory alone up to we'll
above the 400 mark, AS every additional
thirty members adds $1,000 to the money
10 be spent on the clubhouse, IL is likely
that before ground Is broken for the
house the chapter will be able TO draw
the full $4,000
The telegram announcing the accept
ance OF the site by practically unani-
nous vote will be sent today 10 the
headquarters of the league, a committee
OF which has power yet TO accept or re-
jccI the local chapters choice. This II
is thought, will amount to a mere for
mality. as the site is beyond dispute de-
sirabe, being worth at the present Valu-
alton about $1,000, exclusive of the two
option for the next two years. II Is not
at all likely that there will be any OBJ
lection on the part OF the St. Louis
board of directors.
Once the papers are accepted confirm
ing the deed. the time before the actual
work is begun will be short, and in all
probability the local chapter will have
q most desirable chapter house complet-
ed within the next two years. The
chapter houses already erected through
out the United States vary I'm cost from
$40 900 to $40. 600 apiece. several OF the
large cities, whose chapters comprise
houses costing the last-namcd sum. The
plans for the house will be drawn by To-
