The Glasgow courier., 1915-12-17

on Tuesday night when Mr.. Haire,
one of the architects came down
from Helena and conferred with Mr..
Rumble and several Of the merchants
who will occupy store spaces iii the
new building.
The building will be 90x130 feet,
extending 80 feet on Second avenue
and 1870 feet on Fifth street. 1t will
be three stories in height, with full
basement and will be of reinforced
concrete and brick construction, and
articular attention will be given to
make it as near fire-proof as possible.
From the basement to the roof, the
new building will embody all the new
ideas and principles of construction.
Under the court of the building, in
the basement, will be the engine room,
isolated from all other parts, so that
all dirt and noise from this part will
not reach other parts of the build
ing. All machinery in the engine
room will be of the most modern type.
In one corner of the basement, the
plans call for barber shop that will
surpass anything in this part of the
state for convenience and sanitation.
The floor will be of tile and the walls,
white enamel, and around the room

'ator. This will be the first elevator
n the city and will be a decided nov
city.
The second floor of the building
will be divided into office suites and
hub rooms. The plans call for four
zen offices, some 13xl4 feet and
others 14X19 feet in size. Each office
"ill be provided with reception
room and private exit, and for COM
pleteness and convenience they will
be the very last word. A big fire
proof vault will be constructed on this
floor for the safekeeping of the rec
ords of the Rumble Land E. Abstract
company and also for the use of the
tenants in the building. Adjoining
he vault will be the janitor's room
and the toilet and lavatories.
AS now planned, club rooms will be
provided on the second floor for the
use of the business men of the city
and their friends. These will be
fitted up in a manner that will be a
credit to the city, and where business
men can spend leisure hours and en-
tertain out of town visitors. There
will be library, lounge rooms, coat
rooms, card rooms and present plans

GAS WELL NEAR SACO.

That Saco is in a big gas and oil
region was proven few days ago
when a flame shot several feet into
the air after lighted match had been
applied to point where the kissing
air was escaping from leak on a
capped we'll, on the farm of A. H.
Martin, a prominent farmer, living
car town.
A few years ago Mr.. Martin, in
search of water, had we'll drilled to
depth of nearly seven hundred feet.
Satisfactory water was not found,
however, so the we'll was capped and
left. In drilling this we'll workmen
encountered great bed of shale near
the surface which they were never
able to go through on account of it's
great thickness, and while using their
hydraulic drill a heavy, dark oil-like
substance would often form heavy
coat over the water they were using,
believed to be seepage of crude oil.
From time to time, strange and
weird sounds escaped from this we'll,
giving it the name of Martins roar
ing we'll. So violent have been these
sounds at times that stock have been
frightened from the barn yard in
which the we'll is located.
1t is very evident that from it's
rock sealed beds near bv that gas
and oil are both escaping into this
great bed of porous shale, and some
of it finding small vent through
this we'll, which has now been filled
nearly to the top with mud and earth
forced up from the bottom which acts
like safety valve on steam en-
gine, permitting the pressure Of
gas to make it's escape and causing a
rumbling in the long pile.-Saco In

ASSAULT CASE AT CULBERTSON

ASSAULT CASE AT CULBERTSON
Adolph Norby was arrested by
Marshal Carey, Wednesday, charged
with highway robbery from the per-
son of Ed. Garfield, says the Cul-
bertson Searchlight of last week. 1t
appears that Norby and Garfield were
crossing the railway tracks late Sat-
urday night when the assault and
robbery occurred. Garfield was ter
ribly beat up, but cannot swear as to
who assaulted him as his back was
turned to his companion when it oc-
Cured. There was another man i'm
plicated, but as he has not been ar
rested, developments will be awaited.
The preliminary examination of Nor
by will be held before Judge Coulter
on Saturday, December IS.

call for a buffet for the use of the
members Of the club.
While no definite plans have been
made as to the third floor, the COM
pany expects to convert this into q
big auditorium and ball room. The
auditorium will be 60x130 feet, with
a large stage, banquet room, rest
rooms, coat rooms and dressing
rooms.
While the Rumble Land & Abstract
company is we'll and favorably known
throughout the state, it might be well
here to give short history of the
growth of the company since its in
ception. In the spring of 1907, Sidney
J. Rundle, the president of the COM
pany, came to Glasgow and rented
desk room in the Odd Fellows build
ing. Dealing at first in lands, Mr..
Rumble built up a lucrative business
and within a short time added the fire
Insurance line. From the Odd Fell
lows building Rumble moved his Of
fices to the old frame structure back
of the Frye building, on the site
where the new building is now being
constructed. He remained there for
two years and then moved to their
recent quarters on Fifth street.
A firm believer in the use of print
er's ink and advertising, Mr.. Rumble
became known throughout the United
States and hundreds of settlers on
farms in northeastern Montana were
located by him.
The business grew at an amazing
rate, and in the spring of 1914 the
Rumble Land & Abstract company was
formed. with a paid up capital Of
$25 900. A branch office was started
at Malta to handle the business in
Phillips county, once part of Valley
county.
The business continued to grow
and in October 1915, the directors of
the company decided to increase the
capital stock to $4,000. They also
decided to erect new building and
bought three lots on the corner of
Fifth street and Second avenue. The
excavation has been completed for the
new structure and the contractors ex-
pect to begin pouring concrete for the
foundation as soon as the weather
permits. The contract for the work
calls for the completion of the build
ing by August /, 1916, and when fin
ished Glasgow will have structure
of which it may we'll feel proud.
The Glasgow courier., 1915-12-17

will be built in settees. made for COM
fort. The space will be large enough
for five chair shop and will have
two large bathrooms, two shower
baths and Turkish bath steam cab
met. Every fixture will be of the
best and even the towel cabinets will
be built in.
There will also be rooms fixed up
in the basement for a billiard and
pool hall and bowling alleys. The
billiard room will have the cue racks
built into the wall and the lighting
system for the tables will be along
the latest lines. In the rear of the
buildings will be the bowling alleys.
Spaces have also been provided for
card rooms and comfortable lounging
places.
Besides the barber shop and pool
room and bowling alley in the base
ment, there will be large storerooms
for each of the stores on the main
floor. There will be an entrance into
these through each store and through
chute from the street.
On the first floor there will be five
store spaces, three on the Second
avenue side and two on the Fifth
street side. They will all be thirty
foot fronts, with large display spaces
for every store. The Hub will occupy
the corner store, with a new and COM
plete line of mems clothing, furnish
ings and shoes. Next to the Hub on
Second avenue, A. w. Huxsol, who
now owns the Valley Drug company at
Culbertson, will put in one of the
finest and most up-to-date drug
stores in the northwest. Mr.. Huxsol
expects to move to Glasgow when the
building is completed and will devote
his entire time and attention to his
drug store here. The Emporium Dry
Goods company will occupy the space
adjoining Huxsol's Drug store, and
while the plans of the company have
rot been divulged, it will be one of
the finest women's and children's S
outfitting stores in the state.
Each of the stores on the main floor
will have a separate entrance from
the main corridor of the building, so
that people can go into every store
in the building without once stepping
outside. Display cabinets will be pro-
vided for each of the stores in the
corridor, after the fashion of the big
office buildings in the largest cities
The lighting systems for the stores
will be Of type that will make it as
'ight as day in every nook and cor
acr, so that no matter how dark it is
3eople purchasing goods can do SC
with the same advantage as in the
brightest daylight.
The names of the firms who will oc-
cupy the two store spaces on the Fifth
street side cannot be divulged at this
ime. The main entrance to the Of
ice building will be on Fifth street
opening onto a large corridor. From
this there will be stairways to the
basement and to the upper floors anc
in the rear will be a passenger ele.

GLASGOW'S MAGNIFICENT
Sz5 10000 OFFICE BUILDING
THREE STORY STRUCTURE NOW BEING BUILT
BY THE RUMBLE LAND q ABSTRACT COMPANY

The construction of the new Rumble
Land & Abstract company's building
on the corner of Second avenue south
and Fifth street will mark an epoch
in the building history of Glasgow.
Costing $4,000, three stories in
height and planned along the latest
and most modern lines, there will be
very few buildings in the state that
can equal it as model store and Of
flee building.
The remarkable growth in popula-
tion of the city within the past three
years and the corresponding increase
in business has created demand for
more store and office space. The
necessity for more buildings to ac-
commodate the business houses of the
city was capitalized by the Rundle
Land & Abstract company with the
result that on October 30, the COM
pany increased it's capital from $685.
600 to $4,000, and it was decided
to purchase lots and put up an office
building that would not only be
credit to the city of Glasgow, but
would share honors with anything in
the state.
The contract for the excavation of
the basement and the foundation was
let on October 30, Liegland & Kleppe
of Great Falls, being the success
full bidders. This firm of contract
ors is we'll and favorably known in
the city, having constructed the First
National bank building and the new
high school. Their work on both of
these structures was strong point
in their favor in getting this con-
tract. and they have shown that any
building they construct is built in the
best possible manner.
Before the work of excavating could
begin, it was necessary to remove
two houses off the corner lots. On
November /, the first load of dirt
was hauled and with a large crew of
men Contractor Lytle pushed the
work to speedy completion. The
weather during the excavation was
ideal and frost was one of Contractor
Lytle's minor troubles. 1t was nee
essary to do some blasting in parts
of the cellar to loosen up the dirt so
that scrapers could be used, but these
obstacles were overcome without diff
ficulty and just a little more than
a month after the work of excavating
was started, the hole was ready to
receive the cement for the founda-
ton.
Contractors are now being notified
that sealed proposals will be received
by the Rumble Land & Abstract COM
pany for the erection of three story
brick building, complete, according
to plans and specifications, with the
exception of the excavation and foun-
dation work. Bids will be received up
to 2 o'clock p. M, January 22, 1916.
Plans and specifications may be OBJ
tained at their office or from the ar
chitects, Link & Haire, Helena, Mon
tana.
The plans for the building are now
completed, the final touches being put

There was a sack of seed shipped

The report was that at the present

During the month the commission
er inspected 40 ranches for noXious

tion of oJhnson grass from Is of tho

visited the Bard district during
the month and found the farmers very
mucn interested in eradication of all
weeds detrimental to the growing OF
alfalfa seed.
A petition signed by over one-hali
of the land owners of the district was
presented to me, requesting that al
fields be inspected and the law en-

NV inspector, W. E. Henson of the
Barl district. was Immediately in
structed to go ahead with the inspec-
ton. Up to July 1 1852 acres Of al
ralfa fields have been inspected. With
very few exceptions all the farmers
are assisting Mr.. Henson in a general
cleanup. Those who do not comply
with the request to clean up will be
served with notice to do so and the law
enforced.
Through the courtesy Of \. n. kel-
ley of the U. S. r. S. at Yuma | was
privileged to inspect ditch in lower
Yuma valley that was infested with
johnson grass last year.
This ditch, which is 3,100 feet long.
was treated with Dinamine weed Kill
/ Ter at different times during the sum
mer, beginning in July, and the work
was not completed until late in thc
fall or until after frost.
The results are very noticeable, as
the work done in July is 100 per cent
successful, all Johnson grass being
completely cradicated, while that
treated later was less successful, and
that part treated late in the fall was
mostly failure.
1t goes 10 prove that the best time
to treat Johnson grass with Dinaminc
is during the summer, while the san
is moving freely. 1t was also found
not necessary to cut off the tops of
the Grass, as given in the directions.
Leaving the tops ON tends TO assist
in keeping the grounds moist, which
is essential for best results.
