ACTIVE
HEAD OF BANK
Made Active Vice President al
Milk River Election. Selway
President

At the annual meeting of the board
of directors of the Milk River Valley
Bank Tuesday night, r. R. Selway,
purchased the interests of C. D. Rice,
and was elected to the presidency of
the institution.
Mr.. Selway is one of the most prom
inent stockmen and capitalists of
Montana, having large interests here
and in the southern part of the state,
and while his home is in Sheridan,
Wyoming, he is deeply interested in
the development of Glasgow and VAL
ley county.
Fred d. Alvord, one of the city's
prominent merchants, was elected
active vice president, and he will have
charge of the affairs of the bank. Mr..
Alvord has already taken up his
duties, leaving the management of the
Glasgow Cash Grocery to his part
ner, Mr.. Lee Hapgood.
The election of Mr.. Alvord to his
position will undoubtedly prove very
popular. The banking business is not
new to him, and his wide acquaintance
and his understanding of conditions
will help to make the Milk River Bank
one of the strongest financial institu-
tions in the city.
Other changes on the board of d.
rectors were: VIM. TWitchell succeed
ing B. S. Durrell. No changes were
made in the other officials, S. c. Small
remaining as cashier.
Since January l, 1916, when the
present stockholders took over the af-
fairs of the bank, the deposits and
earnings have increased by leaps and
bounds. On January l, 1916, the re-
sources were $117,786.74, and on JAN
uary l. 1917, a year later, they were
$273,743.79.

WRECK NEAR LAKESIDE

A head on collision between two
freights occurred at the Lakeside sid
ing, five miles east of here, last Fri
day evening when two engines clashed,
smashing both to smithereens and de-
railing a number Of freight cars, says
the Bainville Tribune. Luckily no
one was seriously hurt, although one
of the brakemen was injured when he
jumped to safety.
The accident is said to have been
the result of the engineer on the west
bound freight overlooking an order
and instead of his train taking the
siding as it should have, it remained
on the main line and when the east
bound freight came along it crashed
into the train and the only wonder is
that some of the train crew were not
killed or seriously injured.
The curve on which the wreck oc-
CURED is the same on on which many
similar occurrences have taken place
and is an unusually bad spot. The
view is obstructed from all sides anc
trains approaching from either direc.
ton are unable to be seen for short
distance.

&. N. PLANS
IMPROVEMENTS
Grade Crossing and Addition to
Round House to be Built in
Spring

Extension improvements will be
made here by the Great Northern in
the spring, if the present plans of
the company are CARRIED out.
Saturday afternoon, P. S. Hervin,
of Great Falls, resident engineer for
this division, met with the business
men of this city in the Commercial
Club rooms to discuss the matter of
establishing grade crossing. 1t is
almost certainty that this crossing
will be put in in the spring along
with many other improvements.
The present ten stall round house
will be enlarged to accommodate the
largest locomotives and ten additional
stalls will be added.
The yard trackage will be added to-
making ten tracks 45OO feet in length
or enough to accommodate 800 cars
The present tracks will be removed
west approximately 1000 feet to per-
nit the establishment of the grade
crossing at Fourth street. This cross
ing is much needed and will be more
satisfactory than the crossing by the
coal chutes or the viaduct. 1t is prob
able that when the ne wcrossing is
opened the east crossing will be aban-
doned.
The industrial track along First
avenue south will be removed and a
new track will be laid just west of the
freight depot. The new track will be
about $500 feet in length.
The passenger depot is now being
remodeled and additional work will
be done in the spring to make the de-
pot surroundings as attractive as pos.
sible.

HUNDREDS FILE ON
SECTION HOMESTEADS
Average of Hundred Filings Day Being Made at Local
Office on Grazing HOmesteads
VAST TRACTS ARE AVAILABLE HERE
$4,000 New Settlers Number Estimated Coming State Local
Land Office Does Biggest Business
In the United States

According to figures compiled by
competent authorities, the new 640-
acre homestead bill will throw open
100000 acres in this state open to
entry, with the result that within the
next year or two $4,000 new settlers
will come to Montana to make their
homes.
The Glasgow land district will
probably do more business under the
new law, than any other in the coun-
try. Applications are coming in by
the hundreds daily, and the requests
for information are deluging the land
Office and the land men. Letters are
received daily from every state in the
union, and it is predicted that there
will be a bigger rush than ever for
Montana homesteads in the spring.
Tuesday, January End, to Thurs
day, January 18th, 1,040 filings were
made at the local land Office. Roughly
estimated, 95 per cent of these are
under the provisions of the 640-acre
homestead bill. The banner day was
Wednesday, January 10th, when 203
applications for land were received
When people from all over the dis
trict will brave the cold weather and
come in to file on land, at the rate of
over 100 day, it shows the interest
that people are taking in the new bill.
The amount of business done by the
local land Office is evidence of the
rapid settlement of this part of the
state. The cash receipts of this Of
flee are the greatest Of any in the
country.
Millions of acres are being proved
up on every year. In 1916 $500 final
homestead and desert land proofs
were made in this district, and most

BURKE VISITS EXHIBITS

Advertising Glasgow and Montana
is second nature to those who are
spending the winter in other climcs.
Down in California, George T. Burke
is enjoying the warm breezes and
bright sunshine, and probably gives
thoughts at times to his friends here
in Glasgow, trying to keep warm in
forty below weather. An interesting
item was recently sent out by the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce. 1t
follows:
Geo. F. Burke of Glasgow was a
recent visitor at the big exhibit Of
southern California products main
tanned free to the public in the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce. He
also attended the lectures, moving
pictures and concert that are part
of the daily program. The exhibit is
the largest of any in the country
maintained by commercial organiza-
ton. Mr.. Burke will visit several of
the many other places of interest in
southern California before returning
home"

CLUB ELECTS
NEW OFFICERS
F. l.. Sherman Selected to Head
Glasgow Commercial Club
MEMBERS HEAR FINE TALK
l.. ID. Bl0dgett of LewistOwn ArOuses
Much Interest in Club Work.
Active Year Planned

Renewed interest and activity in
the Commercial Club was inspired at
the general meeting held in the club
room Tuesday night.
Officers were elected for the COM
ing year, Mr.. F. L. Sherman succeed
ing j. W. Wedum as president; Fred
Alvord taking the position of vice
president, and R. M. Young retaining
his position of treasurer.
While the attendance was not as
large as is customary at such meet
ing, every one present was deeply in
terested in the election and the talks
that were made.
The speaker of the evening was l..
d. Blodgett, secretary of the Lewis
town Chamber of Commerce. While
his talk extended over a considerable
length of time, every one present was
so intensely interested that they fol-
lowed every word the speaker said.
Mr.. Blodgett explained the work
ings of the club at Lewistown and
showed the results concerted effort on
the part of the business men of a
community will bring. His talk COW
cred various phases of commercial
club work and every man present was
deeply impressed by the force and
conviction of the speakers remarks.
The newly elected president, Mr..
Sherman, then responded to calls for
a speech, and spoke briefly on the
workings and possibilities of COM
mercial club. Other members also
spoke. Following the meeting in the
club rooms, banquet was served in the
Coleman Hotel dining room, and it
was here that the talks were made.
