SCHOOL RULE CHANGE
IN CONGRESS HEIGHTS

The Public Improvement Association
of Congress Heights. after a lengthy
discussion, last night decided to hold
q special meeting January "a to con-
sieer the proposed change in alminis-
trAtton OF the public school system of
the District. The session will be in the
Nichols avenue schoolhouse and one
or the District Commissioners and Hen
ry p. Blair, president of the Board
OF Education will be asked to discuss
the matter.
A proposal that would place the con-
troll OF the schools entirely in the hands
or the Commissioners was criticised by
several OF the members last night. in
Guiding w. w. Price, E. ]. Newcomb
and A. E. Mckay. They expressed the
opinion that the Commissioners had all
they could attend to, and a change as
suggested would create a political or
sanl1atlon detrimental to the school
system.
The question of having the gate near

MANY AUTOS IN STATE.

From the first of April, 1915 to
January l of this year, 14,520 auto
mobile registrations were tabulated
in the office of Secretary of State A.
M. Anderson, an increase of 5000
over 1914. At the beginning of last
year, Secretary of State Anderson
predicted there would be 14,500 ma
chimes.
The fiscal year for automobile reg
istrations does not expire until April
/, 1915. All persons who purchased
automobiles before that date will be
required to register, and then they
must register again for the fiscal
year of 1916, the law requiring one
registration a year.
The records in Mr.. Alderson's Of
flee show that there are $40 motorcy-
cles, total of over $4,000 motor We
hicles in Montana. This number prob
ably represents practically all of the
cars in Montana and it is not likely
that very many more will be pur-
chased between now and April 1.

That over twenty-nine million acres
Of public and Indian lands have been

features contained in the annual re-
port of Commissioner Clay Tallman
Of the general land office, copies Of

According to this report, no other
state even approaches Montana in

June 30, 1915, almost four million
acres of public land were patented in
Montana, while final proofs were
made on 2,35O,0O0 acres and an addi-

NEW PASTOR ARRIVES.

Rev. R. D. Britain, the new pas
tor of the Baptist church in this city
arrived Saturday and has already un-
dertaken the performance of his du-
ties.
Rev. Britain is an experienced re-
ligious worker and Glasgow is indeed
fortunate in securing such an able
man to fill the pulpit of one Of it's
churches.
Before coming here, Rev. Britain
held pastorates in Kansas City, Mis-
souri, and three county seat towns,
Mount Ayr, Iowa, Robinson, Illinois,
and Holton, Kansas, and word of his
good work in this field preceded his
coming here. He was born and
reared on a farm in northern Mis-
souri, and educated in William Jewell
College, Liberty, Missouri, and the
Baptist seminary, Louisville, Ken
lucky, receiving the degrees. of A. B.
and TIL. M.
Mrs. Britain, who is visiting
friends and relatives in Missouri has
had special work in the Training
school, Louisville, Kentucky, and will
be a great help in the different de-
partments of church work when she
comes here some time in February.

HIGH PRICES FOR CATTLE.

Prices for beef cattle the coming
spring are going to be unusually high,
in the opinion of D. C. Raymond, sec
retary of the Montana state livestock
board, who has recently returned
from trip to Chicago. Mr.. Raymond
believes that eastern Montana stock
men who have been wintering cattle
are going to make a large profit
when the animals are sold next
spring.
During the past six weeks there
have been extraordinarily heavy runs
of medium weight cattle and light
hogs on the Chicago market, from
those districts which heretofore have
engaged extensively in winter feed
ing for the February and March mar
ket.
~ met many of the Chicago COM
mission men as we'll as the shippers,
said Mr.. Raymond in an interview
given out on his return to Montana.
"They informed me that the runs are
due to the soft corn. In practically
all the corn country northward from
line so miles south of Chicago, the
corn is soft. 1t is milky, the cattle
don't like it, and instead of making
the customary gains in many in
stances they weigh less than when

REMODELING CAFE.

The finishing touches are now be-
ing put on the work of renovating
and remodeling the Model bakery and
cafeteria and T. A. Hauge an
nounces that it will reopen for busi-
ness on Saturday, January 8. Some
radical changes have been made in
the cafe, and the old customers will
be given quite surprise when they
see the new place Saturday. A lunch
counter has been put in and the steam
table now stands at the back end of
the big room. The restaurant will no
longer be conducted on the cafeteria
plan, but will have waiter service
entirely. The cafe will be model of
neatness and cleanliness and Mr..
Hauge intends to give the best that
can be had, at right prices.

brutal crimes in the history of North
Dakota, Bruce Parkinson committed
suicide at Ray, N. D., December 81,
after having murdered Mrs. A. M.

ticipation of word from the Washing
ton state reformatory from which in
stitution the man is. supposed to have

NEW GKOCEkY STOKE OPENS.
Wednesday morning, the new groc-

w. E. Davis, prominent rancher
on the Missouri river, died last week
at Rochester, Minnesota, where he
had gone to secure treatment, but ow-
Ing to the advanced stage of his case,
the surgeons did not operate and
death resulted. The body was shipped
to Glasgow and the funeral was held
Monday.
At seven o'clock this morning Mrs.
l. H. Dawson passed away at the
Deaconess hospital following a SER
ious illness. About a week ago she
was taken to the hospital and it was
thought her condition was improving,
but her death came suddenly, probab-
ly due to heart failure. About fiji
teen minutes before her death a
nurse had been in the room and at
seven o'clock, when another nurse
went in, she found that Mrs. Dawson
had breathed her last. Her husband
and three boys, Claude, Louis and
Richard, two sisters, a brother, and
her mother survive her. The fun.
eral will be held at 2:3O Sunday af-
ternoon from the Christian church
of which the deceased was a charter
member. Mr.. Dawson and the chill.
dren have the sympathy of the entire
community in their bereavement.

HOMESTEAD LAW CHANGE.

Senator Walsh has introduced bill
providing that all pending homestead
entries made in good faith prior to

homestead laws by persons who, be-
fore making such enlarged homestead
entry, had acquired title to land under
the homestead laws and were not
qualified to make an enlarged home
stead entry shall be validated if, in
all other respects regular in all cases,
the original homestead entry was for
less than f60 acres.
Senator Myers has introduced bill
providing that in all cases where In
dians have taken or may hereafter
take homesteads or have been or may
hereafter be allotted lands on the
public domain they and their families
and descendants shall not thereby for
felt their rights to the lands and
funds of the tribe to which they be-
long.
Senator Myers has introduced bill

third year of the entry and until final
proof, except that in the case of en-
tries under the enlarged homestead
law double the area of cultivation

tered are covered with growth OF
poles, brush and scrub timber the en-
tryman in lieu of cultivation required

try by slashing, clearing or in any
other way preparing the land for cul-
tivation, said improvements to aggre-

GEORGE BALL MAY
GET NEW TRIAL
Washington Government Requests
Stay of Execution.

Stay of Execution.
A dispatch from Ottawa, Ontario,
dated January s, declares that the
Canadian government has received a
note from the Wilson administration
at Washington. It asks that a re-
prieve be granted to George Ball,
who was to have been hanged next
Thursday at Saskatchewan for the
murder of William Long last August.
The request has been acceded to and
the execution postponed for month
to give the American authorities the
opportunity of adducing new evidence.
Readers of the Courier are undoubted-
ly familiar with the case, and since
his trial and conviction in Canada,
Balls friends on this side have been
working hard to secure stay of ex-
ecution. Ball, it is alleged, shot Will
liam Long on his (Ball's) land in
Canada. Ball then came across the
line and told of the killing, stating
that it was in self defense. He want
ed to give himself up to the authori-
ties at Malta, but the case was out
of their jurisdiction and Ball was
taken over into Conada. His trial
was held at Sweet Grass and num-
ber of ranchers and officials from
this part of the state were summoned
as witnesses. He was found guilty
of murder and was sentenced to be

Favorable Indications Causes Predic-
tions of Oil.
With oil gushers pouring out
wealth in the southeastern part of the
state this section of Montana is nurs-
ing fond hopes that oil will be found
here. Indications are very favorable
as the reports of the geologists have
shown. That Montana is an oil state
is attested to by DR.. H. E. Elliot geol-
ogist and petroleum technologist of
Spokane who in an interview in the
st. Paul Dispatch stated that within
SO months Montana would develop
the richest oil field in the United
States.
"1n the Milk river country and
southeastern Montana I have en-
countered the finest prospects l have
met" said DR.. Elliot, who has spent
several months in this territory. "The
formation of the country in south
eastern Montana is just right, and
the oil is of good quality. Its gaso-
line content is high and gasoline is
the valuable product of petroleum"
DR.. Elliot spent four and halt
years exploring for oil in northwest
ern Siberia and then worked his way
through Alaska and the northwest
territory.
"Until the transportation problem
is solved, the oil fields of Alaska and
the northwest territory will not be
important competitions of the fields
Of the United States" he said. "Oul
Investigations in Montana simply
prove that we do not have to go out.
