PRAISE FOR
CLUBS WORK
Commercial Club Lauded for Ef-
forts in Boosting City
GOOD RESULTS OBTAINED

Vice President w. p. Kenney Of G. N.
Praises Enterprise and Spirit
Shown. Work Complimented.
The hospitality and enterprise
shown by the business men Of the
city and members of the Commercial
Club, on the occasion Of the visit OF
the New York Bankers Association,
while en- route to the National Con-
vention in Seattle, has won for Glas-
gov the reputation of being the livest
town along the entire line of the
Great Northern.
It is hard to realize that the short
entertainment that was provided the
visitors during their short stay here
would have such far reaching results,
but they carried away with them the
impression that Glasgow is "a live
town." The short automobile ride on
which the Bankers were taken,
through the farming section on the
north bench gave them a clearer
idea of what was being done in agri-
culture in the county, and that it en-
tirely changed the views of many
who thought that this was semi
arid region, could be gathered from
their expressions that they had "never
seen anything like it."
The energy displayed by. the city
on this occasion was reported at the
Offices of the Great Northern Offices
in St. Paul, and Mr.. w. P. Kenney,
Vice President of the Great Northern
system wrote a letter to DR.. Hoyt
commenting on it. The letter follows:
September 2, 1915.
Mr.. M. D. Hoyt,
Glasgow, Mont.
Dear Doc:-
got hold of copy of the "Spiel
err issued by the Boosters of Glas
cow, Montana, for the New Yorl
Bankers Association Automobile ride
That pamphlet certainly displays en-
ergy and rapid work on the part o1
your Commercial Club people and yol
are all to be congratulated. That il
about the slickest piece of enterprise
that l have seen put across for long
while-certainly the New York Bank
ers will know where Glasgow is To-
Gated and what it produces.
Yours very truly,
w. P. Kenney."
| The "Spieler" idea was entirely
Secretary Moore's and his efforts ir
having the Bankers get the right inn
preston of this part of the state
/ bore fruit in wonderful manner
Not one of the three hundred East
erners who were on the special tralr
I and were taken on the ride will for
get the treatment they received here
and that Glasgow will long be re
membered by them as hust.ins" citj
in the fastest growing section OF th'
state.
While this is not the only occaso OF
at which the Commercial Club ha
done excellent service for the city, i
is one that attracted a great deal O
outside attention. Every opportunit.
to advertise Glasgow to the outsid
world has been utilized by Secretar
Moore and that his work is getting
the desired results is plain to be seer
The Commercial Club receives hun
dreds of letters from people all owe
the country, who have heard of tn
wonderful advances being made i
. eastern Montana, and have become in
terested, asking for information abou
, the country, and what oppotunitie
: are offered here. To answer thes
letters and give the inquirers clea
and correct idea of what is being don
in this part of the state is but sma
part of the work of the Secretary.
Hundreds of the new settlers VIII
! came into the county this year hav
been induced to locate here throug
. the efforts of the Commercial Clu|
i, directly or indirectly. The rapidit
!. with which the homestead land is b.
ing taken in the county can be reali;
ed from the number of entries thu
are being made at the Land Offic
which in the last three years were
a many as had been made prior to th'
t time, since the establishment of Il
a Office.
: The arrival of new settlers wit
e their families to make their honi'
here, the increase in the land und
