The Four Valleys Telephone COM
pany will soon be a thing Of the
past. The splendid organization,
which R. J. Moore and the Moore Tel
ephone company have built up in this
part of the state will no more be the
largest Independent phone company in
Montana. They have grown with the
growth of northeastern Montana and
have prospered accordingly.
After April 1, all telephone users
in Glasgow and the territory from
Havre to Mondak, and Mondak to
Burns will be receiving service from
the Mountain States Telephone &
Telegraph company, subsidiary OF
the American Telephone & Telegraph
company, which operates in all of the
Rocky Mountain states.
In one of the biggest business deals
in the history of this part of the state,
the entire system of the Four Valleys
Telephone & Telegraph company was
purchased by the Mountain States
Telephone & Telegraph company. The
deal was brought to a successful cul-
mination today (Friday) and the new
company will take charge of the en-
tire system on April 1.
While the exact purchase figures
have not yet been made public, it is
stated on reliable authority that the
purchase price was S350,0O0. Tht

Discharges.

Aren Chebot, farmer living about

killed last week, when a shotgun he
was carrying was acciden.ly dis
charged.
There was no eye witness 70 the
accident and the lifeless body was not
discovered until some time after the
accident, but from all indications it
was evident that the unfortunate man,
who was returning from rabbit hunt
had placed the gun on the lower wire
when going through fence and when
pulling it through after him, one OF
the triggers caught on the upper wire
and discarded it. The full charge Of
one barrel hit the unfortunate vic

BASE BALL MEETING
TO DISCUSS PLANS
Approach of Warm Weather
Stirs Fans to Activity in
Organizing Local Team.

"Fans," "bugs," "bleacherites,"

son are urged to be out in force and
attend the general meeting, which
will be held on Thursday evening,
March 20, at o'clock p. M, in the
Commercial club rooms in the Run
die building.
With the coming Of the robins and
straw hats, the thoughts of baseball
naturally enters the mind of every
red-blooded man. With the first
warm breezes, gloves, bats and other
paraphernalia will be resurrected
from their winters resting place and
the "Stove" league will demand its
share of attention, in relating the
tales of battles of former years.
The question of having a team in
Glasgow this season should be set
tied at once. There is a wealth of
local material to form a good club,
and all that is needed is a little en-
thusiasm to start the ball rolling.
Neighboring towns have already
"awaked," and are planning on strong
teams. Glasgow always has been rep
resented by winning team, and it is
the hope of every fan that the year
1917 will not mark a season without
a team, or a losing one.

Poplinski's sensational confession of
his crime committed years ago, has
been given publicity throughout the
country and the sheriff's office here
has received several interesting let
ters pertaining to the subject. One
of these was from A. V. Glasgow in
Brighton, Colo, who, seeing the town
of Glasgow mentioned in the dis
patches, wrote to inquire if the town
had been named after his uncle, who
had come to Montana after the Civil
war.
Another letter from Mrs. Elvira
Kiser of Globe, Arizona, states that
she thinks that johnson, the murder
ed man was her son. She asked for
a description of him and stated that
he was about % years old at that
time.
The sheriff's office has been doing
everything in their power to send her

murdered and what was known Of
him as Mrs. Kiser was very anxious
to learn the details.

If the local authorities continue

to give Glasgow the "go-by" sign.
Monday afternoon Wesley Scott, a

to Butte Wednesday night, where he
will have hearing before Judge

SPRING DRIVE OF

Commercial Club Membership
More Than Doubled in Three
Day Campaign.
URGE FARMERS TO JOIN0RCANlZATI0N
Club Will Strive for More Cooper
alton Between the City and Coun-
try-Season's Work Now
Being Outlined.

The "spring drive" of the CONNER
cial club to add new members to the
organization has been very success
full. Teams of three and four men
have been out this week, calling on
the business men in the city, and
they have succeeded in more than
doubling the membership of the club.
Up until Friday morning, after
three days canvassing, PIT new men,
berships had been secured. These,
with the 1914 memberships in the club
before the campaign began, already
places the local organization in excel
lent financial condition, and there is
now an assurance of sufficient funds
to carry out the plans of the club for
the coming year.
Secretary Jones states that before
the membership campaign closes, 100
more new memberships will be Sc
cured. And the spirit with which the
business men have responded to the
clubs appeal, will greatly aid in pro-
mitigating the work of the organiza-
tion.
Several farmers have already ad-
ded their names to the membership
rolls of the club and both President
Sherman and Secretary Jones are de-
sirous of adding at least 100 more
The work of the club will be extend
ed to look after the interests Of the
people in the country as well as those
in Glasgow, and the cooperation Of
every farmer in the county is earnest,
ly desired. .
Several features of the clubs wori
during the year will be to assist the
farmers in various ways. The free
employment bureau will undoubtedl,

perienced difficulties in securing hell

ways in which the club can aid the

tute.
The wage increase sustained dates
back to Jan. l, when the Adamson
act was made effective. Railroads
have been keeping account of train
mems wages due for prompt payment
upon Mondays decision. The tenn
porary wage increases are effective
nder the law until the Goethals COM

wage scale under permanent eight
hour day standard will await either
private or congressional action after

That the railroads will soon ask
either congress or the Interstate Com
merce commission to authorize rate
increases to meet the increased wage
cost entailed, has been plainly indi-
Gated through all stages of the con-
troversy.

MAT MURRAY TO
RUN FOR MAYOR
Alderman Murray Declares His
Intentions of Being in the
Race for Mayor.
CANDIDATES ARE BUSY CAMPAIGNING
H. ]. Alden and X. H. Keith Other
Aspirants-Paul V0rnhOlt to
Run for Alderman From
Second Ward.

Although the city election is only
10 days off, only one candidate has
filed his petition as candidate for
mayor. H. ]. Alden has braved the
storm and allowed his name to go on
record as seeking to be elected to that
position of honor-mayor of Glasgow
which has yearly remuneration of
5000 per year and subjects the holder
to be the butt of all complaints of
disgruntled citizens and taxpayers.
However, Matt Murray, present
alderman from the first ward, has en-
tered the race, upon the solicitation
Of his friends and those who believe
that the reins of the civic govern
ment could not be in better hands.
Mr.. Murray has made an enviable
record as member of the council
and he thoroughly understands the
conditions that exist and the prob
lens that confront the city at the
present time. He is vice president of
the acknowledgements bank and
has always been one of the most pub
lic-spirited men in the city, taking
his place in the van of those who
stood for civic improvement and bet
terment.
Last week H. J. Alden, president of
the Montana Loan & Abstract COM
pany and X. H. Keith entered the
race. Both are campaigning, Mr..
Keith especially seeking to land the
job by series of ads run at the Or
pheum theater. It is also rumored
that Alderman B. A. Mcfarland and
Miss Julia Sweitzer may become can
didates, in which case, the spring
election would be as exciting as any
that has sheen held for some time past
Paul Vornholt has announced his
candidacy for alderman from the
second ward and to date he seems tc
be unopposed. No other aldermanie
candidates have as yet "put their
heads above water"
The election will be held on Mon.
day, April End, and it is expected that
the vote will be heavy, and the out.
,me will be watched with interest
All candidates are running independ.
ent.
The interest in the city election is
unusually keen this spring and once
again the votes of the women must
be reckoned with. They will play 8
large part in electing the city officials
at the coming election.

COURT SUSTAlNS
EIGHT HOUR Law
Supreme Court Decides That
Congress Has Power to
Regulate Wages.

In an epochal decision, holding con-
gress to be clothed with any and all
power necessary to keep open the
channels Of interstate commerce, the
supreme court, divided five to four,
sustained the Adamson law, as con-
stitutional and enforceable in every
feature.
The immediate effect of the de-
cision will be to fix permanent eight
hour basic day in computing wage
scales on interstate railroads, for
which nationwide strike twice has
been threatened, and to give, effective
Jan. 1st this year, increases in wages
to trainmen of about 25 per cent at
a cost to the railroads estimated at
from $40,0o0,0OO to fifty million dol
lars year.
The court through Chief Justice
White, declared both carriers and
their employees, engaged in business
charged with public interest, SUBJ
ject to the right of congress to COM
pulsory arbitrate a dispute affecting
the operating of that business.
In delivering the opinion, the chief
justice departed from his written text
to emphasize the position of men op-
Grating trains in a time of national
emergency by comparing them to SOL
diers facing a nenemy.
The majority upheld the public
right to have interstate commerce un-
interrupted as basic principle par
amount to interests of the railroads

be in public service and subject to

SETTLERS ON TT.
PECK GET RELIEF
Extension of Time for Payments
Granted by Congress-Many
HOmesteaders Affected.
new RULING WILL AID DEVELOPMENT
Inability of Settlers on Reservation
to Build Homes and Improve
Farms and Make Pay
ments Caused Decision

Homesteaders on the Fort Peck
reservation will receive with joy the
news that by an act of congress, ap-
proved March End, they have been
granted an extension of time for the
payment of one-half of the INSTALL
on their land, on certain con-
ditions of interest payment.
1t has been a hard matter for many
of the homesteaders on the reserve to
meet the regular payments, as it has
taken practically all they have earned
the first few years, to get their home
built and farming operations started.
The new ruling will be great re-
lief to some, who would otherwise
have been "up against it" because of
their inability to meet the payments.
For the past two years, the Fort
Peck Settlement association has been
asking for help from congress, and
their efforts have finally been sue
cessful. The provisions of the new
act follow:
Be it enacted by the se~ate and
house of representatives Of the United
States of America in congress assem-
bled. That any person who has made
or shall make homestead entry under
the act approved May 13, 1908 (Thir-
ty-fifth statutes, page 558) entitled
"An act for the survey and allotment
of lands now embraced within the
limits of the Fort Peck Indian reser-
walton, in the state of Montana, and
the sale and disposal of all the sur
plus lands after allotment" may OBJ
tain extensions Of time within which
to pay one-half of any installments of
purchase money, which have become
due and are unpaid or which will here
after become due by paying to the
register and receiver of the land Of
flee for the district in which the lands
are situated, interest in advance ON
the amounts due and for the period
of the desired extension at the rate of
5 per cent per annum, and any pay
ment so extended may at it's matur-
ity be again extended in like manner:
Provided, that payment of interest on
installments now due must be made
in order to secure the extension; in
terest payments must hereafter be
made annually before the maturity of
the payments to be extended, and no
payment will be postponed for more
than eight years from the date of en-
try nor will any extension be made
for less than one year: Provided fur
ther, that if communication proof is
submitted, all the unpaid payments
must be made at that time.
Section 2. That moneys paid as in
terest, provided for herein, shall be
deposited in the treasury to the credit
of the Fort Peck Indians, the same as
moneys realized from the sale of the
lands.
