NEW HOTEL OPEN

Glasgow's newest and finest hotel
is now open for business. The Glas-
gov Hotel, as it has been named, with
fifty rooms fitted up complete, will cer-
tainly do much to relieve the room
shortage that has existed in the city
for the past year.
Henry J. Landre, the proprietor,
has put in furnishings and fixtures
that are seldom found in a hotel in a
town this size. Thirteen of The
rooms have private baths, and besides
these there are public baths and lava
tories. Every room has hot and colo
running water and telephone service
There is nice lounge room and light
and spacious sample rooms for the
travelling men who have sample lines
to display

taken to bring about the division Of
the state. If the plan were endorsed
by the voters, then congress would be
asked to sanction the creation of the
new state. While the membership Of
the lower house would not be affected,
it would mean two additional sena-
tors from the west, and as the west is
now dominant at Washington, advo-
Gates of the division believe the time
is opportune.
All indications are that the legisla-
ture favoring the calling of consti-
tutional convention have clear ma
jority, but whether they can increase
this to clear two-thirds majority
which is necessary under the consti-
tutional provision for calling such d
convention, is question.

500 LINE TO
BUILD IS RUMOR
Reported That Contract Has
Been Let For Extension
of Line

According to newspaper reports
from the Twin Cities and other
sources, the 500 Line has let the con-
struction contract for the extension
of their line from the present termi-
nal at Whitehall, in Sheridan county
to Coutts, just north of Toole county
and just across the Canadian line.
The work it is said, is to start at once.
This projected line will form cut
off to the main line to the coast and
will open to transportation all of the
territory between the main line of the
Great Northern and the Canadian
boundary. Plans for its immediate
building were held in allegiance after
the outbreak of the European war.
1t will require only about 200 miles
of new construction in order to affect
a junction with the main line.

BOWLING ALLEYS BUSY

Bowling seems to be the most popu-
lar recreation in the city just at pres
ent. Since the new alleys in the
Crescent were opened, they have been
kept busy furnishing sport and exer-
else for the bowling enthusiasts.
Wednesday has been set aside as
ladies' day, and from the number of
the fairer sex who have been down
bowling, we venture to predict that If
they continue their present records,
that Glasgow will have several female
champions before long.
Bowling teams are beong organized
and league will be formed of four
or six teams, of five men each. Be-
ginning Monday the five men having
the highest average for the week will
be chosen as the Crescent Bowling
team, and they will not be permitted
to bowl on any other city teams. They
will be the champs of the city and
meet teams from other towns. All
bowlers should try for the team, as
the men having the best scores and
| showing consistent bowling form will
| be selected.
Other teams will be formed by
business houses in the city and it is
hoped to have the league formed ano
the tournament in progress before
very long.

Glasgow will be the headquarters for
the company.
Mr.. Robbins, the new manager of
the Orpheum, was formerly connected
with the Milk River Amusement Co.,

Mrs. Robbins will join her husband

The policy of the Orpheum to show
only the best photo-plays obtainable

everything possible will be done to
make the patrons of the Orpheum feel
that they are getting only the very

he will devote his entire time to that

IMMIGRATION INCREASES

Immigration of eastern and central
states, farmers who bring their equip
ment with them to till land in Mon
tana, increased 55 per cent in 1916
over 1915 and more came to Montana
than to the entire northwest COM
bined, according to statistics of the
Great Northern railway compiled by
Harry B. Shafer, chief clerk of the
Helena general Office.
These figures show that so per cent
more farmers came to Montana than
to the states of North Dakota, Ore
gon, Idaho and Washington combined
and that the tendency of the east is
to Montana, rather than Washington
and Oregon, as was the case several
years ago. A little over half as
many journeying agriculturists came
to North Dakota in 1916 as did to
Montana.

SEVERE TRIP
PROVES FATAL
T. P. Dement, Died Saturday
Morning After Long Trip In
Cold Weather

"Death, due to exposure and a
heavy cold contracted while on trip
through the north country" was the
verdict of the coroner's jury, in the
case of T. p. Dement, who was found
dead in his room in the Shannon Ho-
tel Saturday morning.
While there seemed to be mystery
about his death, it was practically
cleared up this week, when Coroner
Peterson received letter from a
friend in St. Louis, enclosing a copy
of letter which Dement, had written
the night before he died. In this he
stated that the trip had been a severe
one, and that he had been forced to
stop for "a hours at a ranch house
in 40 below weather, and that while
he had not frozen his hands or his
feet, he Thought he never would be
able to get warm again"
Saturday night he was around the
hotel lobby and wrote the letter, and
then went to his room. About $3.50
he came down to the landing in the
stairs and asked the night clerk to get
his sheep lined coat which was hang
ing in the hall He said he had an
awful cold Nothing more was seen
of him until o'clock, when the night
clerk was making his first calls. He
saw the door of room open and
looking in saw man lying across the
bed, his feet on the floor and with a
sheep lined coat pulled over him. The
clerk turned on the light and saw that
the man was dead. He rushed down
stairs and summoned Night Policeman
Jerrow who took charge Of the body
and summoned Coroner Peterson.
The inquest was held Saturday
morning, and the jury decided that
the strenuous trip had been the cause
of his death.
The deceased was collector FOR
the Avery company and had only been
around Glasgow for about ten days.
His relatives and his employers
,, were notified and the body was ship
ped east Sunday.

Quarters
WILL ERECT NEW BUILD. 2
G. X. Jameson, President; NJ. MUIR
ray, Vice President, and E. ID.
Button, Cashier of New Bank

The Farmers s-Stockgrowers Bank
will be open for business the coming
week. The exact date of opening
could not be given at this time owing
to the delay in some of the fixtures
and equipment arriving, but it is a
certainty that some time during the
week, the bank will be ready for busi-
ness.
The new bank will be located in
the brick building adjoining the
Courier office, and recently used as
the city offices. This will only be a
temporary location, as lots have been
purchased and plans are being drawn
for the construction of modern
banking building, which will begin
as soon as weather permits in the
spring. The present plans are to
erect building, adequate for banking
purposes on the lots adjoining the
Rumble building on the west.
At the annual meeting, Gordon K.
Jameson was elected presidea- of the
Bank; Mat Murray, vice president,
and E. D. Button, cashier. The, di-
rectors elected were the three officers
and Walter w. Hurd, state senator
from Valley county. Other stock
holders in the bank are Roy Billings
ley, w. A. White of Hinsdale, and T
H. Shipstead of Scobey.
With regard to the officers ano
stockholders, the bank is certainly al
that the name implies. Both Mr.
Jameson and MI Murray are wei
known in this part of the state, ane
are among the largest wool growers
in Montana. They are also activel.
interested in other business.
f. d. Button, the cashier of the new
bank, was for two years cashier of tn
Milk River Valley Bank, and for tn
past two years he has been deput,
county treasurer. Ten years ago MI
Bottom came to Valley county, AM
took up claim on the north bench
which he homesteaded and has farme
ever since. His faith in the agricul
tural possibilities of this part of tn
country was shown when he first set
tied here and people laughed at tn
thought of ever making dry Ian
farming pay. He is proud OF tn
fact that he is farmer, and that h
was a successful one may be take
from the fact that this fall he sol
his farm of 400 acres for $50 an acre
The other stockholders are we
known business men, ranchers an
stockmen of the county. Senate
Hurd needs no introduction, while !
H. Shipstead is one of the promner
and prosperous ranchers near Scobe!
Mr.. w. A. White has extensive Ian
holdings and stock north of Hinsdal'
Mr. G. n Ross, who arrived her
a short time ago from Winnipeg, wi
be the assistant cashier. Mr.. Ros
is a nephew of Mr.. Murray's, and ha
had considerable banking experienc
in the Canadian metropolis.

PHELPS WANTS

Valley County Representative In.
PRODUCES Bill in House. Do
ing Good Work

Representative E. T. Phelps of Val
lev county, has introduced a bill pro-
viding for herd law, which would
be boon to certain districts of the
state if it were passed. The bill was
introduced by Mr.. Phelps on Janu-
airy 18th, and while he says that there
is little hope of the bill ever passing,
as the stock interests are too well or

that if it is lost, he will support the
next best bill that comes up, or in fact
ary bill that looks as it was an i'm
provement over present conditions.

CULBERTSON
TEAM DEFEATED
Local Basketball Team Gets Re
venge for Former
Defeat

The Glasgow high school basketball
team evened up old scores Saturday
night with the Culbertson team, whom
they defeated by score of "A to Is.
BY getting the jump on the visitors
n the early part of the game, the To-
cal lads piled up a lead that could
not be overcome, despite the desperate
rallies to even matters by Culbertson.
After twelve minutes of play the
score was 20 to 4 in favor of the local
lads. After this period, the game
was comparatively even, both teams
scoring "a points. The latter part of
the game was bitterly fought. The
team work and passing of the Cul-
bertson boys in the last half of the
game was excellent, and while the
Glasgow lads managed to keep good
safe lead, their playing was not as
consistent as it was in the early part
Of the game.
Captain Holland was the star of the
game. shooting eight baskets up to
the time he was taken out for per-
sonal fouls. His guarding and pass
ing did much to bring the victory to
the local team. Richardson was con-
stantly breaking up Culbertson plays,
and Illman, Wall and Lebert also
played stellar games.
For Culbertson, Hagen and A. For
syth were the bright stars and they
showed their ability to shoot baskets
from almost any position and angle.

Committee Is Appointed to Further Investigate Matter of Changing
 Local Organization.

No definite action was taken last night bv the members of the Young Women's Christian league in the mat ter of changing the order into branch of the Young Women's Christian as- sociation, although the proposition was discussed.

Sure Way To Get
 Rid Of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it en- tirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; 1; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly. and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all Npu will need This simple remedy has never been known to fail.
