Elm Street Subway Will Be Built by % --r~@ City Laborers.

The W. L. Damon company was awarded the contract to furnish material for the Elm street subway at a special meeting of the board of public works this noon.

ment Will Inspect MachheS Maoe
 by NeIs Nelson and "Dick" Nygren.
 A representative of the Italian gov ernment is expected to visit this city Friday to inspect aeroplanes owned by Nels Nelson and Richard Nygren. It is said the Italian government is buying up all the aeroplanes it can find and the local aviators expect to make 8 sale.
 One of the machines is now under construction by Nelson and it will probably be ready for its initial flight Saturday. It is of the headless bi- plane type and is equipped with an eighty horse power Curtiss engine The engine was used by Frank Car roll, the aviator, who met his death in a fall in Maryland not long ago. Ny gren's machine is the one in which he met with a mishap last week when his engine went dead and he was forced to make landing on unfavorable ground.
 Nelson announced some time ago that he had retired from the aviation game, but the call of the clouds has been ringing in his ears since and he has decided to return to flying.

BOY STRANGELY MISSING. Son of Donate Peters Disappears From HOme-POlice Notified

Harry, the fourteen years old son of Donate Peters, the Arcade cafe man, is missing from home and his father has not the faintest idea where he is. The police have been asked to aid in the search for the boy and fifty post cards, each containing a photograph and description of the boy, are being printed for distriru- tion with the police throughout Con- necticut, New York and Mass.
 The missing boy has relatives in New York and New Jersey and it is thought barely possible that he may have run away from home and gone to visit them.

HEARING ON 'DINKYS."
Senator Klett's Bill Comes Before
 Public Utilities Commission.

Mayor George A. Quigley received notice today from the public utilities commission that it would give hear ing in Room AZ of the capitol build ing at 11:30 a. nn on September 21 on a bill introduced into the legislature by Senator George w. Klett to force the railroad to run their locom otives head -first.'
 Senator Klett claimed that many accidents were due to the fact that the locom olives are run backward on the "dinkys'' and he asked that the railroad be prevented from continu- ing the practice. It is probable that there will be considerable opposition to the change.

Russian Counter Check.

London, Sept. 15, 11:47 a. m.- While Field Marshal von Hinden- burg's cavalry is astride the Petro- grad Railroad and the Germans have made large captures of prisoners and guns in Courland, the Russians are again countering these efforts not only by checking the attempt of the Austrians to resume the offensive in Ga1icia but by inflicting another re- verse on the Austro-German forces in the same vicinity.
 g Svientsiany, where the German cavalry cut the railroad, is half way between Wilma and Divinsk and about 400 miles from Petrograd. The Rus sians assert that this raid by the Ger mans has formed a dangerous salient ill their line, of which their opponents are likely to take advantage. It is clear, whatever strategic move may be involved in this advance. that re- cent events indicate the near ap- sproach of the important engagement in the Wilma region which was pre- dicted a fortnight ago by General Polivanoff, the minister of war.
 Further along the line, the Ger man armies operating on both banks Of the Niemen have not yet formed B junction and Russian rear guards gre still withdrawing eastward. '..
 Russian military writers are warn ing the people not to expect too great developments from the Galician of fensive movement.
 Discussion in the house of commons today is to be turned from the ab sorbing topic of conscription to the voting of another huge war credit.

ers is the result of experiments made
by the Illinois agricultural experiment
station to find a wheat that would
thrive in alkaline soils. The Review
of Reviews tells of the experiments,
and claims that success has been at
tanned. 1t has aways been supposed
that wheat would not grow in alkaline
soils, but DR.. L. H. Smith, of the H.
linois station, decided to investigate
further before accepting that opinion
as unquestioned. He took grains of
an ordinary variety of wheat known
as Minnesota 1859. In most of the pots
that were given stronger doses of the
alkali the wheat refused to grow, or
sent up sickly spindling plants that
were a disgrace to the whole wheat
family. But the kernel in one pot

strong, thrifty, full of promise. It's
offspring inherited the same power
and handed it down through the gen.
erations. Literally the enemy had
been routed on his own soil.

That Glasgow will have a good ball
team the coming season is now an as
sured fact. Arrangements have al
ready been made with two or three
good men, well known in northern
Montana ball fields, and as soon as
the weather permits, work will be
commenced on the ball park and
stands. The band boys have notified
the management that they will be on
hand to furnish good music at every
game and the fans of our city can
look forward to a season of good live
base ball. Glasgow has an abundance
of good local talent and with a few
holes patched up will easily walk off
with the Northern Montana champion
ship for 1915.

That Glasgow is by far the most
progressive and up-to-date city along
the line these days is evidenced by
the fact that numerous new business
enterprises are now making arrange
ments to locate here. Plans are now
under way for a commission house
branch, a new steam laundry, big new
hotel, and another modern garage, will
soon be erected to take the place of
the one recently destroyed by fire.
Glasgow has just completed one of
the finest school buildings in the state
and work will be commenced this sea-
son on a new freight house, west of
the viaduct, which latter fact is due,
to the untiring efforts of Secretary
Moore of the Glasgow Commercial
Club. In addition to the freight house
the platform at the depot will be leng-
thened and the grounds along Front
street will be parked. A visitor from
one of our neighboring towns said the
other day. "The development in your
town the past year has been nothing
short of marvellous" Commenting on

APPRAISERS MEET

The board of appraisers appointed
by Governor Stewart to appraise and
adjust the debts and property of Val
ley, Blaine and Phillips county, met
in Glasgow this week. The findings
of the board brought forth some start
ling results regarding the present in
debtedness of Valley county compar-
ed with what it was at the time the
adjustment was made with Sheridan
county, in May 1913. The increase in
the net indebtedness of Valley county
during a scant twenty three months
prior to this appraisement, has been
in the neighborhood of $150,000 to
5000, 900 90, or to make it palmer,
Valley county has run in the hole,
the past two years, prior to February
1st. 1915, between SIS, 900. 90 and $780,
100000 a year, which is sure "going
some"
We rise to ask, where the plucky
little "Sherlock Holiness, of the VAL
ley County News, was alternating
during this reckless expenditure of
county funds? An explanation will
be in order.

Royal Neighb0rs are Surprised
On Tuesday evening March 18th,
the Royal Neighbors held their month
ly business meeting. The Neighbors
are very enthusiastic in their contest
of obtaining new members and have
been working like bees which is shown
by the list of names brought in at the
last two meetings. Oracle Thompson
was very busy appointing investigat-
ing committees to act on same when
she was notified that some one wished
to see her in the ante-room. Upon
returning she had another application
card which had been handed in. The
Neighbors naturally supposed that was
the extent of her call but when bust
ness was over she announced that the
Woodmen had extended to the Neigh
bors an invitation to partake Of an
oyster supper which they had made ar
rangements for at the Phoenix Cafe.
The Neighbors were so surprised that
it was with difficulty they found their
wraps, which they finally did and got
in line to march to the Cafe, where
they were met by Woodmen, who es-
corted them inside where they were
served with a delicious oyster supper,
which wa fully enjoyed by all present.
Neighbor Dignan made a few frater-
nal remarks in behalf of the Wood
men and Royal Neighbors. She then
called on the Woodmen to respnd.
MI. Thompson, venerable consul of
same order spoke in a few we'll direct
ed words very appropriate to the &C.
casion. The Worthy Oracle Mrs.
Thompson rendered a toast, which
proved to be fraternal, instructive and
beneficial to the fraternities. Past
Oracle, Neighbor Lezie spoke in be-
half of the organization outlining the
great possibilities which are sure to
be accomplished by an energetic men,

en- of the catering and interior of
the Cafe, by the proprietors. Credit
is due to the management of the Phoe-
nix Cafe for prompt service and cour-
tesies rendered to the neighbors.
