1t has been officially announced
from Washington that Miss Nathalie
Patton has received the appointment
from President Wilson to the office

tiring postmaster, F. w. st. Hill, was
an appointee of the republican ad-
ministration, but has held over until
the present time. Miss Patton is
cashier in the J. F. Kilduff depart

flied persons in the city to receive
the appointment. Just when the

WILL BENEFIT
MANY SETTLERS
New Bill introduced to Aid the
HOmesteaders.
AFFECTS THIS DISTRICT
Hardship Worked on Many Home
steaders Will be Overcome by
Bill-May Pass Senate.

A bill, that will be Of benefit to
many settlers upon the public domain
has been introduced by Senator N.Y.
ers of Montana in the United States
senate.
For sometime past many applica-
tions for final naturalization papers
were turned down by the immigration
officers for the reason that the ap-
plicants had declared their intention
of becoming citizens of the United
States, or in other words, had taken
out their first citizenship papers in a
judicial district other than the one
in which they resided.
For instance, many homeseekers
filed on land in different land dis
trict than the one where their land
is at the present time, and naturally
when filing took out their first pa
pers there. In many cases this was
in a different judicial district than
the district where their homesteads
were located, which thus invalidated
their declarations, and when these
same persons applied for final natur-
alization papers they were turned
down and again required to declare
their intention anew, thus precluding
many from making final proof upon
their homesteads for another two
years.
Judge John w. Tattan some time
ago called the attention of Senator
Myers of this fact.
The bill introduced by Myers has
the effect of validating all such dec
larations made in the counties of Gas.
cade, Chouteau, Teton, Hill, Blaine
and Valley. This bill is especially in.
teresting to this community, as there
are many homesteaders affectet
thereby. If this bill is enacted into
law, those who took out their frs
papers in any other judicial district
than the seventeenth, or old twelfth
but in the above named counties, will
have the right to apply for their fina
papers if the naturalization law
have been complied with, and the salt
declarations of intention will hav'
the same force and effect as though
in the judicial district in which tn
applicant resided or had his home
stead.
There have been many cases COM
up within this district where hard
ship has been worked on many de
serving homesteaders, who throug
an unintentional mistake. have bee
unable to prove up on their home
steads. and if the above bill goe
through it will prove boon to many

CHRISTLER'S PLEA
Prominent Clergyman Here Wednes-

day-Urges Tree Planting.
Rev. Leonard J. Christler, the mis-
sionary of the western end of the
Milk river valley mission field, with
headquarters at Havre, while enroute
stopped off for visit with his
many friends in this city on Wed
nesday Mr.. Christler has warm
place in the hearts of Valley county
people as is always evidenced by the
cordial reception accorded him when
ever he appears on our streets, and
he never fails to give our city good
boost whenever he can get in Wig
orous lick for her.
Mr.. Christler's name, like Brother
Van's," the pioneer Methodist mis-
sionary in this county, is known in
every household, for no clergyman
has baptized more children, married
and buried more people, or minist-
cred to more homes of trouble and
sorrow than Mr.. Christler. That he
never lets up, but always retains an
infectious interests in the welfare hap
piness and vision of the people of all
northern Montana is demonstrated by
the fruit-bearing work of the system
he is now proposing to towns and
cities of all sizes and stages in
northern Montana for the immediate
development Of city parks.
Along with his missionary work
Mr.. Christler is appearing before
commercial bodies in lecture, "Real
and False Value of the Heathen DOL
lar" and by it pleading for the
planting of trees, future park de-
velopment, and the all-out-of- doors
development that tends to beautify
streets, homes, lawns, gardens, and
with these the mind and soul.
"Begin city park right now, no
matter what your assets. If you
, haven't sufficient funds, or lack the
patriot to give you land and start.
then issue bonds to accomplish it. for
in the long run the park and its
blessings to the inhabitants of the
city will be your greatest asset.
Don't wait for years before: you
think of park, while in the mean,
time the old Heather Dollar is max
ing a heather out of every one of
YOU, in that you rob it of it's real
value by wasting or boarding it in
channels where it ceases to enrich,
bless and uplift mankind, and thereby
has accorded it value that is quite
false"
Judging from the press reports Mr..
: Christler's talks along this line to the
commercial clubs is doing lot of
good for the playground and public
park improvement.

FLOUR MILL
WILL BE BUILT
Minot Milling Company Plan
Erection of Big Mill Here.
200 BARREL CAPACITY
Commercial Club Will Donate Site
Machinery Has Been Ordered
and Work Will be Rushed.

Before the harvesting of the 1915
crop, Glasgow will have flour MILL
This was the gist of the information
impaired to Secretary Moore of the
Commercial club by Frank L. Sher-
man of the Minot Milling company,
who was in the city on Tuesday, max
ing arrangements for the erection of
the mill here.
Mr.. Sherman stated that his organ
ization was ready to start building
the 2OO-barrel mill whenever the
Commercial club gave them site. He
stated that Mr.. Dunnell, vice presi-
dent and manager of the Minot Mill
ing company, has already placed the
order for the machinery and this will
be shipped as soon as the site is
available. t't
The Commercial club is now at
tending to the details relative of OBJ
tanning the title to the property which
will be rendered the company for To-
eating the mill and this is the site
that Mr.. Dunnell inspected while here
a few weeks ago and approved of.
The fact that the erection of the
mill is certainty assures Glasgow
of a mill with an initial capacity OF
200 barrels per day, and which may
be increased to 500 barrels daily ca.
pacity. There will be elevator and
warehouse facilities and the total in.
vestment will amount to $4,000.
This is another indication that the
Glasgow Commercial club is bringing
new interests and investments ints
the city and is sufficient showing thai
money expended for the maintenance
of the Commercial club is more thar
returned to those who support it.
1t is anticipated that work will b.
started on the mill within the mex

Dunnell to have the mill ready to op

season begins. .,a..- go.
The Glasgow mill will be operated
independently of the Minot mill ant

definite decision has been made as ye
as to what the name of the compan,
will be.
When the opening for a mill a
Glasgow was brought to Mr.. Dun

was thoroughly investigated by hir
and after looking over the entir

WORKING FOR A
GRADE CROSSING
Matter Will be Taken Up With Great
Northern Officials.

Concerted action on the part of the
committees who have been circulat-
ing petitions the past week, asking
the Great Northern for grade cross
ing, has accomplished the desired re-
suits. and the delegates to represent
the various interests of the city will
leave on the first of the week to take
the matter up with President L. W..
Hill and the officers of the Great
Northern.
The fact that the Great Northern
is to do great deal Of improvement
work here the coming summer, there
by bringing to the city much addi-
tional equipment for the work and
having a large crew of laborers here,
will greatly minimize the cost of put
ting in the grade crossing.
The city is entering upon an era
of unprecedented development and if
the crossing is put in this year, it will
mean great saving to the railroad
company, as the crossing will become
an absolute necessity within the next
few years, and the longer it is delay
ed, the more difficult it will be to put
through.
| There is no getting away from the
many convincing arguments that the
city representatives will PROFOUND t.
the Great Northern officials, and thu
many benefits that both the citizens
and the railroad company will derive
from a crossing. ...

BIG LAND TRACT
WILL BE LEASED
Opportunities Offered for Renting
State Land at Low Figure.

Register of State Land Sidney
Miller has just issued booklet which
he is sending broadcast over the
state, calling attention to the excel
lent opportunities that farmers and
stockmen have in northeastern Mon
tana to lease large tracts of state
land at an exceptionally low figure.
Mr.. Miller calls attention to the
fact that there are thousands of
acres of good agricultural and leas-
ing land in Valley and Sheridan coun-
ties which may be leased for a song,
and which will net a neat profit to
the farmer or stockman who gets
them. In the booklet is set forth in
detail the amounts of land and the
townships in which they are located.
The grazing land, the booklet sets
forth, will be rented in tracts of
from quarter section to full Sec
tion. For quarter sections the state
receives from Sc up to $50 and $100
per year, according to the quality of
the land. Half sections lease from
$12 up, and full sections rent from
$50 to $100 per year.
For agricultural purposes quar-.
ter action may be rented for from
$40 upward, according to the loca
tion and quality Of the land, while
full sections are listed at from $15t
up to as high as over $3.50 per year
A part of the land included in the
lease may be for grazing and part
for agricultural purposes, or all may
be for one purpose. A grazing lease
may be changed in whole or in part
to an agricultural lease by the lessee
paying the additional charge for such
use and obtaining permission from
the, register of state lands. Rental.
and fees. are payable in advance.
Leases may be- issued for period!
Of from one to five years. No mor'

and. cultivation. A lessee under tn
law is entitled to only IS per cen
of the actual value of cultivation ant

new ACT MAKES
PAYROLL $1,000
PER MONTH MORE
Increase Only is Per Cent as
Army Spends Close to
$500, 900 Month in Pay

Promotions OF Oahu army officers
under the National Defense Act have
increased the payroll of the Hawaiian
Department about $4,000 a month, it
was learned today by inquiry at the
pay office of the quartermasters de-
partment.
This is not a large increase, how
ever, as the expenditures OF the pay
office for pay of officers and enlist
ed men, plus the cost OF supplies OF
various kinds, now range between
1886, 900 and 100000 a month. The
increase consequently is not more
than one and a fifth per cent
The act of June promoted large
numbers of army officers in the Ha-
waiian Department, and the eonse.
ouent increase in pay because OF
these promotions, ranged from $40 to
SIS a month per officer, according TO
rank.
Because the 1916 appropriation ex-
pired two months ago, when the fis-
cal year closed, and Congress has nao
to extend the old appropriation one
twelfth twice since then, there Will
be a delay of five days in paying OH
the troops of this department In Aug
ust, according to the pay office. Pay
ment will be completed this month
by August 20. 1t is usually finished
by the 18th Of every month. Last
month there was also delay, due TO
Congress having to pass joint reso-
luton extending the old appropriation
one-twelfth, to cover July.
In. 1912 there was a slight delay
here in paying troops of the depart
ment and some officers, because Con-
gress failed to pass the army appro-
priation bill promptly. The new bill,
providing for the ensuing year, down
to June 80, 1917, Is now under consid-
Grafton in Congress, and it is believed
it will be passed before the close OF
this month. 49,:
Should it not be it may be neces-
sary for Congress to pass another
Joint resolution appropriating sum
to cover the difference between the
cost of paying officers and men in
August, 1916, over the expense in
August, 1915, before the, National De-
tense Act with its increased salaries
