A New York dispatch states that
gasoline may hit the 40 cent mark
before long. The cause Of the in
crease in price is a decrease in the
output. At that price, the old "buzz
wagon" will not buzz quite so often.
A stiff winter and plenty of snow
is usually followed by bumper
crop, and present conditions look
good for the future. None Of the
farmers of this vicinity are going
around with faces long enough to eat
corn meal mush from the bottom of
an old-fashioned churn.
Rapidly increasing land values are
making farmers rich in the we'll
boosted sections of Montana; publicity
of communities promotes land values;
country correspondence increases
community publicity; the Glasgow
Courier appreciates country CORE
spondence. If you believe in your
community, why not boost it along
with a weekly letter to Valley coun-
tvs leading newspaper?
Frank Baker, employed on the Co.
burn ranch, near Malta, had both feet
so badly frozen during the cold snap
that it was found necessary to ampu-
tate both feet, in order to save the
mans life. The man was out with a
band of sheep for day and night
and was frozen before he could get
the animals to safety. He has wife
and several children living near Zort-
man.
Clarence Edgerton Emerson, the
fair-haired operator who held down
the second trick job at the Great
Northern station for. several months
the past fall and winter, is back again
on the job after an absence of sew
eral weeks, which he spent at Glas-
gov. Mr.. Emerson has many friends
here who are glad to see him back
in our midst again.-Bainville Tri-

The secret of bad luck for the year
just closed, which is probably claimed
by many, is due to the fact that it had
So Fridays and some of them the
18th of the months. And it kept up
to the last minute as New Years
even came on Friday. 1916 starts out
better for the calendar promises So
Saturdays, which in many walks of
life mean So pay days, also being
leap year it will bring So Sundays,
rejoicing among the workers.
Henry Drogee Of Grow Colony on
the reservation, purchased thermo-
meter in Nashua some time ago, says
the Nashua Independent. Recently
he returned the same to the dealer
stating that it was Of no account as
it froze up when it registered 60 de-
grees below zero. The very idea Of
a dealer selling thermometer in this
country that could hardly be used in
the house unless placed near the
stove.
Ex-sheriff Nacey of Culbertson was
here couple of days this week hob
nobbing with large number of his
friends and acouaintances, says the
Plentywood Herald. He is being
strongly urged as candidate for
sheriff at the coming election. He was
sheriff of Valley county.in 1913 at the
time the new county of Sheridan was
created. In 1914 he refused a chance
to be reelected on account of his
home and interests being in Sheridan
county. Mr.. Macy will undoubtedly
make a strong campaign if he decides
to go.
( Among the latest to announce their
intended candidacy for the office Of
sheriff in Phillips county is John
Ebaugh, says the Malta Enterprise.
That John would make a good sheriff
goes without saying. He has lived
in this section of Montana for years
and during the early times served az
deputy sheriff for Valley and Chou
teau counties. He knows every bad
ger hole and bunch Of sage brush In
