DISCUSS LAND MATTERS.

The entire Montana delegation,
with Thomas Dignan and Matt Muir
ray of Glasgow, were given hearing
Monday by Secretary Lane, at which
conditions on the Milk River recla-
nation project were discussed, says
a Washington dispatch.
When the project was commenced,
the farm unit was established at 100
acres and many of the land owners
arranged to take water on that basis.
Recently the reclamation service de-
cided that the farm unit should be
eighty acres, and >. that owners of
larger areas under the project should
sell all of their holdings over that
amount. This proposed arrangement
is causing great dissatisfaction and
the land owners sent Dignan and
Murray to Washington to have the or
iginal plan continued.
Secretary Lane heard the Montana
people, but did not give any assur-
ance as to the action to be taken.
He said he would consult the recla-
nation officials before taking final
action. He intimated that the 160-
acre unit plan had not proven sue
cess on the lower Yellowstone pro-
ject, eighty acres being about the
amount of land that could be profit
ably irrigated and farmed.

The history of Valley Chapter, o.
E. S., is an interesting one. On
September 10, 1902, the grand chapter
granted the local chapter its charter.
Twenty charter members were on the
rolls then and the order has grown
rapidly, until now it numbers 81
members. The first meetings were
held in the north side school house
and in 1908, when the new Masonic
hall was completed, this became the
permanent meeting place.

PRISONERS ATTEMPT
JAIL DELIVERY
Sheriff Powell illustrates Plan to
Dig Way Out.

An attempted Jail delivery by pris
oners in the county Jail who are be-
ing held to the district court on SER
ious charges, was frustrated Sunday
night by Sheriff Powell and his depu-
ties when they caught some of the
prisoners at work digging their way
through the stone wall.
The men were digging with the
ram rod of an old squirt gun, such as
is used in the Jail for praying disin-
fectants, and Sheriff Powell believes
that they had been working on the
hole for some time. Along the west
wall of the Jail clothesline had been
hung for the use of the prisoners,
and sheltered by the clothes hanging
on the line, the men had been doing
their best to work their way out. The
digging must have been done when
they were released from their cells to
go to meals, which is an hour in the
morning and an hour in the after
noon. They had succeeded in getting
a hole about ten inches deep and
large enough for man to crawl
through, but their failure to cover
up their work led to the discovery.
For several days the officers had
been watching the prisoners closely,
the first suspicion coming when they
found gravel on the corridor floor.
Sunday night the men were caught
working on their avenue of escape
and were locked up in their cells.
Smith and Mcdonald, who are being
held in connection with a train rob-
berry, were the ringleaders in the at
tempted delivery.

GLASGOW WINS
BASKETBALL GAME
Local Boys Overwhelm Opponents
by Fast Playing.

In one-sided, but intensely inter-
esting game, the Glasgow high school
basketball team defeated the Malta
high school team Thursday night.
The game did not begin until 9
o'clock, as the train which the Malta
boys arrived on did not get in un-
til $3.50.
The Glasgow boys outplayed the
Malta boys and had them outclassed
at every stage of the game in speed
and team work. The Malta team had
numerous chances at baskets from
fouls, but they did not make many
of them, although most of their points
were scored as a result of free
throws. The game was clean and
there was no rough work on the part
of either side.
The Malta team showed lack of ex-
perience and lack of practice and
were probably at disadvantage play
ing in a strange gymnasium. The
work of the local boys showed the
result of much practice, and the
team work during the first half could
hardly have been improved on. In
the first half, the Malta team made
some hard attempts at baskets, but
luck broke against them and the half
ended with the score in Glasgow's
favor.
There was a very small but enthus-
iastic attendance at the game, which
resulted in small gate receipt. 1t
is to be regretted that local people
do not show more interest in the high
school basketball team and their
games, for they are team that the
city can be proud of. Their work
last night showed that they were de.
voting a great deal of time to prac.
tice and if they play as consistent q
game during the season as they
played last night, they have chance
to win the district championship ir
Havre next month. Every member Of
the team played a fine, clean game.

Cured at $3.50 a. m. Monday morning
when strong Chinook began chang
ing the wintry weather into SPRING
like conditions, which continued un-
til Saturday, December 25, when snow
began at 6:12 a. m., turning into a
heavy snowstorm which lasted for
over five hours, and making a typi-
cal Christmas day, and snow covered
the ground to depth of 81 inches
by noon. The highest temperature
during the week was AZ degrees on
Tuesday, December 21, and the lowest
was on Monday, December 20, making

The total precipitation was 0.37 inches
which is O.23 inches above the normal
The duration of sunshine this week
was 28.0 hours, the sun being 57.4
hours above the horizon. There were
