4,1 Does Damage
Over Small Territory
..1,,,s Hail Storm Not Disastrous, Hail
' Covered But Narrow Strip, Insurance
Protects Farmers

Prairie, became lost some miles north
of Wibaux.
The hail hit only in spots and the
wheat was damaged most of all. The
oats will come up in most places, and
the flax was too young to have been
at all injured.
A fortunate circumstance was the
fact that the hail, covering strip of
not more than 40 rods, spent most of
it's force in the bad lands and in the
hills between the two creeks.
number of window lights were
broken in Stipek as we'll as in the
homes of many farmers in the path
of the storm.
The exact amount Of the damage
could not be learned but it is safe to
assume that it is not near as large
as was at first reported.
A great many farmers were protect
ed by hail insurance and few were
caught without any, but it is conceded
that most of the damage can largely
be repaired.

not fatal accident, occurred at 1920

TO rLAY IN cLENDlvE
State Amateur Championship To Be
Determined.

Manager Ed. Healy of the Glendive
Baseball Club, has received a letter
in reply to his recent inquiry, from
Charles T. Irby, manager Of the strong
Billings team, and former manager
of the Helena Union Associations team,
to the effect that If we made them
a certain guarantee to cover their
expenses "and then some," he would
arrange to have the Billings outfit
play the Glendive aggregation in this
city on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,
August 2, 3 and 4, the games to be
called at 4 p. M, so as to give every
body chance to attend all of them.
It is understood that the Club man
agement, in cooperation with the
Chamber of Commerce, have arranged
to secure the necessary guarantee, SO
it will be safe to predict for this city
on the above dates, the greatest series
of baseball games ever played in this
part of the state.

Chamber of Commerce
Holds Fourth Luncheon
Prominent Twin City Man Makes Fine Address,
Agitation Started to Rush Helena Cutoff,
Members Want Stand For Band

The fourth MONDAY luncheon of the
Chamber of Commerce was held
Tuesday at the Jordan Hotel.
The attendance was no larger than
the one held on June 9Th, and it was
noticed that the older men have grad
ually been dropping off, for no appar-
ent reason, until now it can be said
that the luncheon is being supported
almost entirely by the younger and,
of course, the more progressive of our
citizens.
H. T. Allen was appointed by Pres
ident Hughes to act as chairman,
which position he filled with credit.
The speaker of honor was E. H.
Randall, president of the Minnesota
Mutual Life Insurance company.
He delivered a splendid address on
the subject of Commercial Clubs in
general and spoke of the excellent re-
suits that should accrue from real
spirit of harmony and cooperation
among the members.
The subject of the Glendive-Helena
cutoff was discussed by Secretary
Rasmussen who suggested that the
matter be taken up with the head of.
flee of the N. P. Ry. Co., in st. Paul
by w. F. Jordan, chairman of the
transportation committee, who is at
the present time in the Twin Cities
After that, concerted action could be
taken by joint committee composed
of members of our Chamber of Com
merce, members of the Helena Com
mercial Club and members of other
Commercial Clubs along the line OF
the proposed cutoff and adjacent
thereto
Secretary Rasmussen then read a
letter from the Great Falls CONNER

GlENDlvE HAS CHANCE TO
SHOW HERSELF TO WORLD
Chamber Of Commerce Can Arrange
For Moving Picture Film Space
OF City and Industries.

Many of the Commercial Clubs and
business enterprises throughout the
state are planning to take advantage
OF the opportunity for valuable adver-
tislng which is being offered by the
Montana Exposition Commission, in
the plan for taking motion pictures
over the state, of the different re-
sources and points of interest of Mon
tana.
The scheme as outlined by the
commission allows any particular in
terest, association, or individual to
subscribe for section of film suffici-
ent to display the desired industry,
at very nominal cost. It is planned
to run these pictures each day at the
exposition, and also to display them
at different picture houses about the
state before the opening of the ex-
position. The value Of such advertis-
ing can readily be seen, and it seems
particularly fitting that pictures taken
during this year-Montana's Golden
Anniversa1y-sho should be displayed at
the gathering of the nations in 1916.
It is Montana's opportunity to show
the world the progress she has made
during the half century of her exis-
tence as a territory and state.
1t is reported that parties are en-
deavoring to secure contracts for mo-
tion pictures in some parts of the
state, giving the impression that the
pictures are to be used in connection
with the Montana exhibit. The Com
mission has no such agents in the
field, and parties desiring to contract
for pictures should communicate with
Frank Hazelbaker, secretary of the
commission, at Dillon.

INTERSTATE TO
Be THREE CENTS
PER MILE HERE
INTERSTATE COMMISSION up
HOLDS CLAIM OF RAILROADS
FOR THREE CENTS PER MILE
ON INTERSTATE TRAVEL.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 19.-The
interstate passenger fare of three
cents a mile through Oklahoma, Ar.
kansas and Missouri was upheld by
the interstate commerce commission
today, acting on complaints of the
public service corporations of those
three states, which sought to have a
two-cent interstate rate made the ba-
sis for through traffic charges.
The commission held that the diff
ferent railroads did not voluntarily
establish or maintain the two-cent
fare, and that the basing of the inter
state passenger fares in these three
states on the three-cent rate was not
reasonable.
The commissions had claimed that
the reduced rate would have given
more revenue through stimulating
travel.

many of the old Indian legislators
have died since that time.

REGULAR MEET
Of THE CITY
COMMISSION
PLANS DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT
TO RELIEVE THE LOCAL COT
TON SITUATION DURING THE
WAR IN EUROPE.

! At a regular meeting OF the city
commissioners last night a number of
matters of importance were disposed
| of aside from the regular routine bus
mess The principal thing was TAX
! ing up the matter of repairing the
streets that the mayor and commits
sioners have been battling for for near
| ly year but have accomplished
so little as to be practically nil. The
lefty attorney and the engineer were
ordered to take the matter up once
| more with the Downard Asphalt COM
pany and If necessary to enter suit
against the company for fulfillment
of the contract The City Gas COM
pany came before the council and
asked permission to number the
houses of the city, which was granted
provided the city would be at no ex-
pense in the matter. The gas COM
pany has refused to furnish gas To
houses not so numbered and as there
are several in the city they prefer to
do the work themselves rather than
not have it done at all All houses that
are now properly numbered will not
be disturbed If they conform to the
lot number on the official plat of the
city but if new numbers have to be
supplied the actual cost of the num-
bering will be collected by the gas
company.
The commissioners ordered that
the city books be audited and that a
competent man be employed to do the
work. After few emergency bills
were allowed the council adjourned.

MEETING Of
CHAMBER Of
COMMERCE
PLANS DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT
TO RELIEVE THE LOCAL COT.
TON SITUATION DURING THE
WAR IN EUROPE.

The chamber of commerce met last
night in the club rooms. Rules were
adopted asking the proper federal au-
thorities to extend the accumulated
deferred payments on the unallotted
lands, the reason being assigned, the
abnormal, unfavorable financial condi-
ton existing. The president announc.
ed that he had taken this up with
the different members of congress and
that they reported favorably that the
federal authorities might extend the
needed relief
This is certainly move in the
right direction, because to have to pay
out this money at this time to be
boarded in the treasury would entail
great hardships upon the banks,
which naturally affect the people.

D1s and French are now in
close junction and in contact with
the German advance lines.
Complete silence is maintained of

big battle, which is understood to
be progressing all along the line
through Belgium and Luxembourg.
Dispatches indicate the presence of
masses of Germans who are pushing
forward behind an impenetrable
screen of cavalry, which is engag.

There has been no change at Brus-

condition was reported as excellent.
The fate of the Liege forts is not
definitely known.
French reports say that the French
turning movement through southern
Alsace is progressing satisfactorily.
The Germans admit the capture of
two batteries. The French have
captured two large Austrian steam

John T. Nichols who went to Cor

the reason that no cotton is selling.
The banks there are advancing loans

bales have sold have brought a price
below the market value. About 5000
bales have left the port there but
some of that amount is still being

CITY ELECTION
NEXT ONE ON
THE CARPE7 I
NOW THAT COUNTY OFFICERS
ARE OUT OF THE WAY, PROS
>PECTlVE CANDIDATES FOR CITY
JOBS BEGIN TO BOB UP.

Now that the county officers have
been chosen for all the jobs in Car
o ter county for the next two years, and
as the primary is param 1upt to an
election in this section of the state
those among us who cannot rest from
politics at all are beginning to cast
their eyes about and making ,predic,
tions about the city election, which
will take place after the first of the
coming year.
As usual, the wise ones are in evi-
dence, and from the wild rawlings of
some of them you would be led to
believe that they already had the tick
ct all picked and labeled and all
that will be necessary will be for
their choice to assume charge at the
proper time-but, the wise ones sell
dom guess right, and there is liable
to be some upsetting of the dope
when the ballots are cast.
The two principal offices. that of
mayor and chief of police, are the
ones most sought For the former.
1t has already been whispered that
there will be as many as four in the
running, and if old dame rumor has
her chemicals on straight; there will be
nothing short of an even half-dozen
who will get in the race for chief.
Some of the avowed candidates
are already at work making medicine
in anticipation Of the coming fray,
while the powers that be-" and who
probably will Re in the race, are
saying nothing. but to encourage
the novices to get in .he game, and
go as far as they deem fit.
OF course, the game is young yet,
but do not be surprised if most any
old citizen approaches you and asks
what you think of his becoming a
candidate for this or that city office.
Give him the glad hand as there is
Joy in numbers, and the race is far
more exciting where there are sew
eral to bet your money on.
In the meantime, keep your ear to
the ground.
