Municipal Election.

The municipal election of the city
OF Malta will be held on Monday
April 9Th, and the city officers to be
elected are the mayor and two alder
men, one from each ward. Aldermen
Powell and Misfeldt are both hold
overs Tor another year, having been
elected last spring. Aldermen Bait
ram and Cosner are the outgoing
members Of the council at this time
and the former has gone on record
that ne would positively not be u
candidate for reelection. Mr.. Bait
ram has made an excellent official
ana Is a good man for the place, but
feels THAT the duties of the council
are such that he can not give them the
attention they need and do justice to
MS business. Mr.. Cosner, who was
appointed to fill the vacancy caused
Wy the death Of Alderman Clanton,
has made a good alderman and it
appears to us that lie has at all times
l'ad the Interests Of the city at heart
and should he decide to accept the
nomination for another term it is
very doubtful if there would be any
opposition to him. Mr.. Cosner is a
live booster for Malta and 4 man the
city needs to help in looking after the
business end Of it, especially a year
when there is the amount of money
to be expended that will be spent this
year. Mayor Casel5erg will not he Il
candidate for reelection owing to his
poor health and we have not heard
who will be put up to take his place.
Mr.. Caselberg has made good
mayor and has seen some wonderful
Improvements in the town under his
administration which will be a credit

Land Office Business.

The rapidity in which the free home
stead lands in eastern Montana are
being taken up by settlers may be
seen from the report of the United
States land office here for the past six
months.
Since August 18th, 1913, the land
office has done an enormous business
MS the following figures will show:
Homestead entries since August Is,
1912 ,965. ...
Total number of final proofs upon
which final certificates have been
issued, 1856.
Total amount of'money received in
connection with entries and proofs
SOL ,443.l IA.
The month of February this year
has been a record breaker at the office,
and the opening for entry of num-
Der of townships on February 9th
helped materially to swell the total
number of entries. From February
LIST to February 18th there were 1920
homestead entries received, 1872 of
these being made last week. The
total amount of money received in
connection with entries since Febru-
airy 1st is 4,S4O.OO.
Another influx of settlers is expect
ed in the spring and it will only be a
short time before all the available
homestead land in Valley county is
filed upon.-Glasgow Courier.

Since starting it's run the water in thel

by the fact that the cylinders are cast

not missed fire once since the start.
The machine is being fabricated with
