BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS NET FOR
APRIL SESSION MONDAY

The Board of County Commissioners
held their April session on Monday
at the Court House, all the members,
Chairman Andrew Larson, Frank j.
Winkler, and Hedley Robinson, being
present
The most important action of the
Board at this session was their de-
cision to appoint a county agricultur-
ist under the provisions of the pres
ent law on the subject. 1t is under
stood that the board will consider sew
eral men for the position and that the
most highly recommended man will
get the place.
While the Board fixed his salary at
500 per month, this is said to be only
part of his earnings.
The Board also considered five peti-
tions for saloon license,-three from
Circle, and one from Paxton and one
from Brockway-but they were post
poned for future consideration and no
definite time set for their further hear
ing. From all accounts, until these
petitions simmer down to one or two,
the residents of the aforementioned
towns will either have to go dry or
start social club in their vicinity.

EXPERT COUNTY AUDITOR
ASKED TO EXTEND VISIT

At meeting of the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners held on Monday, it
was decided to retain the services of
Jack LeBarge, the expert county audi
tor from the Office of the state examin-
er in Helena, for the next two weeks.
Mr.. LeBarge has been working in
the county Offices during the past
month, Strengthening out various sta
tistical matters and putting the keep
ing of the county records and accounts
on basis of high efficiency as we'll as
one of great economy.
He has not only dug up the mistakes
and expensive methods used in the
past in all the county Offices, but he
has been instrumental in paving the
way to great savings in the present
conduct of the officers elected by the
taxpayers to take care of the county's
finances.

LOCAL CAR REPAIRER
i. NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH

What is considered by all who saw
it, as the most remarkable escape
from death ever recorded in this city,
was that of Car Repairer Henry Wal.
seth who, about o'clock last Wed.
nesday morning, stepped directly in
front of moving switch engine near
the depot, the trucks of the engine
passing over his body without break
ing limb or even rendering him un-
conscious.
The accident occurred by Mr.. Wal
seth hearing the engine bell, but
thinking that the engine was behind
him on the track he was using, STEP
ped directly in front of the moving
locomotive.
He was knocked down by the en-
gine step, the body of the big iron
horse completely concealing him from
view. The engine was stopped as
soon as possible and the injured man
removed from his precarious position.
It was found that other than sustain
ing few bruises, he was uninjured.
He was taken to the N. p. Hospital in
an auto and is said to be on the way
to an early and complete recovery from
his narrowing experience.

DEPARTMENT ELECTS
OFFICERS FOR THE YEAF

The regular annual meeting of the
Gate City Fire Department, for the
election of officers for the coming year
was held last Thursday evening in the
fire laddies own rooms in the new
City Hall.
Nearly every member of the depart
ment was present, presumably for the
purpose of electing their favorite
treasurer, the only office on which
there was the slightest contest.
The present fire chief, Frank O'Mal-
ley, was reelected, as was assistant
chief Ed. O'Neil, Foreman Jack Hag-
gerty and Secretary August ]. Colin.
For treasurer, the fight was be-
tween E. D. (Red) Ayers and Police

elected over the city officer by a large

City Election
Passes Quietly
Activity of Women Voters Shown for First Time
DR.. Baker Elected Without Opposition
Tom Keen Wins on South Side

For the first time in the history o
c,ondiye, the real influence Of thu
female vote was shown at city cleo
tion the election of Ray Lowe as alder
man Of the first ward being directly
traceable to their activity.
The campaign up to the last day
ran be said to have been almost en-
trelv devoid of excitement or even
interest, none of the candidates evinc.
ing the slightest apparent concern in
their candidacy.
Bright and early Monday morning,
however. a movement was set on foot
by the women, and committees hastily
selected to canvass certain districts,
with the result that Ray Lowe re-
ceived majority over his opponent,
DR., A. L. Hammered, by a total of IS
votes.
The Aldermanic fight on the south
side was even more closely drawn,
Tom Kean being elected over his op-
ponent w. G.. Gochenour by vote of
SO to 80.

time alderman for the second ward,
was elected Mayor of the city of Glen

ELKs TO HAVE GLENDlvE HOME

At meeting of the local members
of the Benevolent and Protective Or
der of the Elks, which was held in the
council chambers of the new City
Hall last Thursday evening, tempor
ary local organization was effected
This action was taken because of the
receipt by the local Elks, of special
dispensation from the Grand Lodge,
authorizing the formation Of a lodge
in Glendive.
sufficient number of local mem
bers were on hand and signed the
charter which was Immediately for
warded to headquarters.
]. Harley Miskimen the jeweler and
clothier, who is one of the oldest mem
bers in Dawson County, advised the
Monitor man that it will probably be
from 80 to 60 days before word Is
definitely received of the acceptance
Of the charter, after which time COM
mittee will receive applications for
membership from not only citizens of
Glendive but from such towns as WI
baux, Savage, Sidney, Fairview, Cir
Gle, and other nearby points as we'll
as applications for transfer from pres
ent members In and near these towns.
There will be no trouble in securing
these transfers, because Glendive be-
ing much nearer to them than Miles
City, will be the more convenient
point for them to reach on special and
regular occasions of the order.
AS soon as the charter has been ac-
cepted, suite of suitable club rooms
VIII be secured, and plans launched
Tor the financing and building of a
permanent club house on the order OF
the one at Miles City.

EASTER SUNDAY
IN THE CHURCHES

Easter Sunday this year was not
only particularly delightful as to the
condition of the weather, but the serv-
ices in all the churches were such as
to draw out the largest number of
communicates ever remembered in this
city, even by the Oldest citizens.
The Catholic Church services were
especially beautiful and inspiring,
Rosewig's famous Easter Mass being
sung by special choir in a most pleas
ing manner.
Both the services and the sermons in
the Methodist, Episcopal, and Congre-
gational Churches, were both appro-
pirate and exceptionally well attend
ed, and the spring church work can
truly be said to have started out in

ton. He will take his office, as will
all the other elective officers, on tn,
first Monday of May, when the newly
elected men will take their oaths O.
Office and the reelected ones will
renew theirs.
August J. Colin was reelected City
Clerk without opposition, as was Fred
J. Goulding for Police Magistrate and
]. D. Walsh for Treasurer.
The total vote cast was First
Ward, 316; Second Ward, 169, a total
of 485; said to be the largest vote
ever recorded in any city election ex-
cept where there happened to be a
contest on for the mayoralty.
The judges of election in the First
Ward were: R. w. Snyder, George
Beasley and Ole Holling. The clerks
were John Kennedy and Howard Sim
clair.
While the administration is expect
ed to be one OF contiued progress and
civic advancement along all lines that
lead to bigger and a better Glendive,
it can be safely predicted that the
new city council will prove itself level
headed and constructive, with none OF
the extreme radicalism which some
, alamity howlers are wont to prophesy.

City Engineer Handforth was on
hand and submitted estimates and
other data on the pumping machinery
which the council, on motion, decid-
ed to purchase. The large Turbine
pump, which will handle $50 gallons
of water per minute, will be ordered
from the Manistee Iron Works of
Manistee, Michi, and the 100 horse
power motor, with which the pump will
be driven, will be ordered through
Frank C. Hughes of the local electric
Co.. of Aurora, ILL.,, the two pieces of
machinery to be shipped together from
the Michigan foundry so as to reach
here not later than May Oath. The
total cost of the machinery, exclusive
of the labor required to put it in posi-
ton, will be $1,O94 plus freight on the
motor.
Mayor Hagan reported that he had
purchased $50 shade trees from Dick
ocHOInUoFS, the local nufSeryman, Tor
60 cents per tree, delivered in Glen
dive
These trees, which are all of good
height, will be planted in the two city
squares within the next month, and
is the first step taken this year by the
council in the direction of horticultural
adornment of the city's park property.
Alderman Larson advised that the
total cost of dynamiting the holes for
the reception of the young trees would
be only $40.
The next meeting of the council will
be held on Monday evening, April 18th.

SCHOOL ELECTION
BRINGS SURPRISES

That the voters seem to be deter
mined to have as trustees on the
School Board, only those who are par
ents of children, was demonstrated
by the vote which was cast in the
School Election held in this city last
Saturday.
Much interest was shown at the last
minute, many women working active
ly on behalf of T. F. Hagan and Jens
Rivenes, both of whom were admit
ted as being the best qualified for the
positions.
The republican wing among the men
seemed to have voted quite solidly for
e. C. Leonard, and he was reelected
by the greatest number of votes, 262.
T. F. Hagan made no special effort
to be elected, leaving his fines for
the office entirely up to the voters.
He was elected by receiving 229 votes.
Mrs. w. T. Perham ran next to and
below Mr.. Hagan, her defeat being due,
it is said, to the fact that majority
of the women voters were working so
for Jens Rivenes, who
came within two votes of the number
polled for Mrs. Perham.
The election was held in the old
school house on west Val
entine street between the hours of 2
and 6 P. M.
Tom Kean and R. w. Snyder were
judges of election and H. F. Burkart
was clerk

DELIVERY
SERVICE STARTS NEXT
MONDAY MORNING

Mr.. L. G. Kinch, proprietor of the
new Merchants Delivery, announces
that the modern auto delivery service
will start next Monday morning.
The three Ford Special Delivery
trucks arrived last Friday and were
assembled and put in working order
at the Yellowstone Garage, from which
establishment they were purchased by
Mr.. Kinch.
The large garage back of the Kinch
residence on So. Douglas street will
be finished in time to take care Of
the cars after their days work.
Two drivers have already been en-
gagged and are driving the new trucks
on the streets each evening this week
in order to familiarize themselves with
the machines.
Nearly all the stores have come in
to the arrangement and are taking
steps to dispose of their delivery teams
and rigs.
The first delivery each weekday
morning will be known as the Meat
Delivery and will leave the two
butcher shops at s o'clock.
Other deliveries during the day from
all the stores will be at 9 A. NJ, IL
A. NJ, 2 p. NJ, 4 p. M, and $50 p. M.
The Special Package Delivery,
which will be looked after by Mr..
Kinch personally, is thought to be one
of the best features Of the new serv-
ice, as it enables merchants or others
to have packages up to SO lbs deliv-
cred to any part of the city on short
notice and at any hour of the day for
10 cents per package.

Glendive City Council
Holds Double Meeting
City Fathers Meet Both Monday and Tuesday
City and Kinch to Lay Drain Pipe
Pump, Motor and Trees Ordered

The first bi-monthly meeting in
April of the City Council was held on
Monday night, Mayor T. F. Hagan and
all the Aldermen being in attendance
On this occasion, the regular bills
were audited, approved and ordered
to be paid, but no other business OF
importance transacted
In order to finally pass upon the
contemplated purchase of the new
water-pumping machinery, it was de-
cided to continue the meeting until
the following evening, which was done.
On Tuesday evening the city officials
met in the council chambers of the
new City Hall. those present being:
Mayor T. F. Hagan; Aldermen DR.. A.
A. Baker, Andrew Larson, F. B. Whet-
ham, Einar Rivenes; City Clerk
August Colin; City Engineer Hand
forth; and Police Chief Kinney.
The council finally decided, in the
matter of an application made several
weeks ago by L. G. Kinch the propri-
etor of the new Merchants Delivery
service, that the city stand half of the
expense of the laying of a drain pipe
in the alley back of, and running par
allel with, South Douglas street.
It seems that at the present time
there is no provision made along that
to take care of surface
drainage; rain and other surface
water laying in sort of ditch along
the east side of the alley.
Mr.. Kinch has agreed to stand the
other half of the cost of laying the
80 feet of pipe, said to be not more
han $50 dollars for the entire work.

cLENOlvE HORSE SALES YARD
NOW READY TO DO BUSINESS

DR.. e. F. Swarthout of this city ant
Allard, Secretary OF the newly formed
Glendive Horse Sales Co., paid the
Monitor social visit early Tuesday
morning.
From the interview It was learned
that the new yards In the north emo
Of town on the Railroad right-of-way
which were constructed under the
direction Of A. S. Foss, would be fin
ished for business to-day, and that
the first big horse inspection would
take place on Friday and Saturday
Of this week, April 9th and 10th.
This inspection will be made for the
Italian Government, being the antici-
pated fulfillment Of part of the big
contract recently received by one Of
the largest horse firms at Miles City.
Horses ranging from four to eight
years old and weighing 800 pounds
and upwards will be inspected for pur-
chase by the agents Of the Italian
Government who will be on the
grounds bright and early tomorrow
morning. This should be the means
of allowing our nearby horsemen to
get rid of some of their thick boned,
and stockily-built horses, for
which the foreign nation is willing to
pay $50 a round.
The first regular sale of the new COM
pany will be held at the yards Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, May 81,
June l and 2, the succeeding dates
to be announced later. For these
sales, the organization is getting in
touch with all the big horse buyers in
the country and it is expected that
quite number of the Miles City horse
men will attend them regularly.
For the Italian Government inspec-
ion tomorrow and Saturday, fully five
hundred horses have been promised to
,e put on sale, although the num-
'er may far exceed that estimate.
The officers Of the new company,
Who are devoting almost every minute
4 their time to the new enterprise
re: President, George Harvey; Sec

The financial affairs of the new
0mpany are said to be in excellent
hape, and the ultimate, II not the I'M
lediate, success Of the venture is
efinitely assured.
Such enterprise as these men have
hown could be emulated by other or
anizations We might mention, with

TeutOniC Allies Are Making Su-
preme Efforts to Capture
PrzemySI.
PROGRESS HAS BEEN SLOW
French Report Occupation Of
German Trenches Along
User Canal.

London, May, 31.-Around the
great fortress of Prezmysl a mighty
battle is still raging. The Austro-
German armies are making a SUI
preme effort to cut off the strong
hold and free these armies for opera
atoms against Italy and the allies in
the west.
Although great human sacrifices
are being made, progress latterly has
been extremely slow, as the Russians
have had time to bring up large re-
Inducements.
North of Przemysl the Russians
appear to be more than holding their
own, but to the southeast the Aus
trians and Germans claim further
Roadway and now command with
their artillery the railway betweens
Przemysl and Grodek. From Lem
berg the Russians draw a large por-
ton of their reinforcements and sup
plies.
The battle is still undecided and
hopes run high in the allied camps
that the Russians can hold their lines
until the advance of the Italians and
the strengthening of the Anglo
French armies compel the Germans
to withdraw part of their armies
from Galicia.
In the west there has been consid-
cradle fighting along the User canal,
where the French report the occupa-
ton of German trenches. and in the
vicinity Of Melville st. Vast, where
the French advanced about a quarter
Of a mile.
The German official statement SAYS
that after a ten-hour artillery at
tack east Of the User canal the allies
were repulsed.
The steamer Tullochmoor has been
sunk by German submarine. while
considerable alarm was caused Sun
day by report that the White Star
liner Megantic, bound from Liver
pool for Montreal, with many pass.
engers aboard, was being chased.
The liner, however, escaped.
