BIG CHRISTMAS DANCE.

On Wednesday night, December
%, the Good Fellows club will give a
dance in the Gibson opera house. AS
it is three weeks since the last dance
was given in the hall, the dancing
public has been clamoring for another
dance and the Good Fellows made ar
rangements to put on Christmas
dance that would surpass anything
previous. The music will be the best
that can be obtained in the city and
a royal good time is in store for
everybody who attends. Dances have
been so few and far between in Glas-
gov this fall that you can't afford to
miss this one. 1t will be "picnic of
pleasure" where the lovers of the tep-
sichorean art may enjoy themselves
for few hours. Do your Christmas
shopping early, but don't forget to
be at the Christmas dance. Tell your
friends about it, but it's you whose
presence is most earnestly requested.

FIRST SNOW OF SEASON.

A white blanket of snow now COW
ers northeastern Montana. Tuesday
night the flakes started falling and
there has been little snowfall every
day since then. Some of the first
snow drifted considerably, but that
which has fallen since will be enough
to make good sleighing. The snow
is welcomed by many farmers and
ranchers who had stock on the range,
as many Of the water holes have been
frozen up and stock was suffering for
water. In western North Dakota and
Sheridan county the snow will be well
come to the farmers who have been
unable to haul their grain to market.
In the northern part of the county
there has been snow, but along the
railroad there has been none up to
this time.

BETTER RAILROAD SERVICE

The numerous complaints about the
new railroad service at this point
have been needed by the Montana
railroad commission. An adjustment
has been secured to accommodate
passengers from the west, bound for
stations between Malta and Glasgow,
where No. does not stop. No. 2 ar
rives here at 6:55 a. m and the west
bound local leaves at 7:1O a. m. Some
times when No. is late the west
bound local would be pulling out of
the yards as No. 2 arrived. Then the
passengers were forced to lay over un-
til the next morning. Under the new
arrangement the local will wait for
the arrival of No. 2 at the station.
If No. 2 is very late the westbound
local will pull out, and then, No. 2
will stop at some convenient meeting
place to transfer passengers.

GRAIN SHIPMENTS
MAKE NEW RECORDS
Over Five Million Bushels of Grain
Shipped From Branch Line.


Gradually the car shortage which
carly in the fall threatened to hold
back Montana's immense wheat crop
is disappearing, the railroads having
responded to the call for more cars as
fast as they could get them from the
east.
It now seems likely that the entire
crop will have been moved by the first
of the year, or possibly little later.
according to J. H. Hall, chairma w
the state railroad commission.
Hall says that the railroads opera
in this state handled threateil0
embarrassing situation in manner
highly satisfactory to the farmers and
to the elevator men, as we'll as to the
commission, when it seemed likely
that the same situation would prevail
here as in the east where traffic is
even yet badly congested.
According to statement made in
the east by L. w. Hill, the Great
Northern railroad has moved or will
move 28,O0O,0OO bushels of grain, or
about one-half of the entire produc-
ton of the state. The other railroads
the Milwaukee and the Northern Pa
cific, which tap the central portions
of Montana, will handle about an
equal amount, which means that Mon
tana produces considerably more thar
; 60,0OO.OOO bushels of grain this
year.
| The big haul of the Great Northern
this year is largely due to the fact
that Hill, Blaine, Teton, Toole, Phil
lips, Valley and Sheridan counties
produced record yields, whereas, fol
the two years prior, these communi
ties were hard hit by drouths. The
Great Northern also taps Cascade anc
Fergus counties, two of the biggest
wheat producing sections in the state
which also broke all records fol
yields.
In Sheridan county alone, the Plen
tywood branch of the Great Northern
produced more grain this year thar
formerly was produced in the entir,
state. For instance, in 1904, ther'
was grown in Montana about MIN
and half million bushels of all kind
of grain. Four years prior to tina
time. there was little over half tina
amount raised.
1t is estimated by commercial clubs
and other agencies in Sheridan count,
that five and a half million bushels O
grain were raised on the Plentywoo,
branch of the Great Northern.

OIL COMPANY
ORGANIZED
Glasgow Oil and Gas Company
Elects Officers.
STOCK IS NOW ON MARKET
Report of Geologist Heard at Meeting
Tuesday Night-Enthusiasm
Over Prospects.

The final report of J. E. Rickert,
the geologist, who has been making
a survey of this district, preparatory
to drilling for oil, was made to the
Commercial club at a general meet
ing of the members Tuesday night.
The attendance was large, most of
those present being business men OF
the city, and ranchers from the sur
rounding country. Everyone there
took the greatest interest in the re-
port.
After making a careful geological
survey of the country surrounding the
city, Mr.. Rickert stated that he has
never seen more favorable conditions
than here in the Glasgow district, for
finding oil and gas. He explained
the various formations that could be
expected to be found in an oil country
and exhibited a chart which he had
prepared, showing the various forma-
tions and geological strata, and ex-
planned where it would be best to
drill with the best success of finding
oil. The conditions all pointed to this
being a district where oil and gas
could be found at depth of from 1000
to $500 feet.
The organization of the Glasgow
Oil and Gas company was completed,
DR.. A. N. Smith being elected presi-
dent; S. C. Moore, secretary and
treasurer, and j. L. Truscott, DR.. M.
D. Hoyt and E. D. Coleman, direct
ors. The affairs of the company will
be in complete control of the local Of
ficers, and bylaws of the corporation
were adopted.
Application for stock in the COM
pany are now being solicited and a
large part of the first issue has al
ready been subscribed. 1ocal bust:
ness men, realizing the Importance OF
ascertaining whether or not Glasgow
is in the oil belt, have responded lib
orally and the amount necessary to
begin drilling operations will soon
be raised.
1--WE expect to have 10000 shares
sold by the fifteenth of January" said
Mr.. Cleaver yesterday, "and then we
will he in a position to let contract
for drilling a we'll. With this amount
raised we will be able to bring a rig
here and start drilling operations
about the first of February"
