VIII Sails
on Tuesday

Halifax, ~ S., Feb. 27-The steamer
Frederik VIII with Count Won Berns-
torff and party on board, sailed at I.3o
o'clock tonight for Copenhagen.
The same precautions which marked
the arrival here Feb. 16 Of the liner
with the former German ambassador
to the United States and his party OF
consular officials attended their de-
parture.
She was not moved from her dock
where for the past few days she has been
taking on coal and supplies, until after
nightfall. AS she steamed slowly down
the harbor she was conveyed by a swarm
Of patrol boats with orders to keep all
other craft at a distance in conformity
with the assurances of safe conduct made
by the government Of Great Britain to
the United States. The Frederik. which
is owned by the Scandinavian American
Line, sailed from New York Feb. IA. In
order to avoid the danger of the suoma-
rine and mine fields it was decided by
the British admiralty to have her put
into this port for the customary search
of passengers and cargo.
In order to prevent the German Of
ficials aboard from gaining knowledge
of the harbor defenses the steamer was
not permitted to enter port until dark.
Her anchorage was chosen in a part of
the harbor where view Of the city and
the rest of the hartor was cut off. All
communication with shore. was rigidly
supervised.
Beyond the reports of minor incidents,
nothing suspicious was found on board
the steamer, so far as known, and after
an interruption of IL days, Count Won
Bernstorff and his party found them
selves once more homeward bound.

Health and Sanitary Survey To
Be Made in Valley County

For the purpose of making sani-
tary and tubercular survey of the
county, Miss Florence Ames, R. N,
field secretary of the Montana Asso-
citation for the Prevention of Tuber-
culosis, has been in the city this week
outlining her plans for the campaign.
The Board of County commission
ers have given her encouragement to
go ahead with the work, and have pro-
vided transportation for her work
throughout the county.
A thorough survey will be made of
the entire county, to ascertain the
amount of tuberculosis, and to look
up the cases that are known about.
1t will be her purpose to have all
people examined who have been ex-
posed by these present cases. Miss
Ames expects to have Federal tub
erculosis specialist here during the
latter part of the survey to assist in
the work. All the doctors in the
county have volunteered their services
and are cooperating in every way to
make the campaign success.
AS soon as school commences, all
the pupils who show symptoms of
tuberculosis will be examined and
remedies suggested.
Miss Ames also expects to make 4

garments and finished work have also
been added to the equipment of the

ter looking them over it would be easy
to decide to take some one of these
much needed garments home to make
or spend couple of hours in the
rooms sewing. Electric machines make
this work very easy.
This has been membership week
for the Red Cross and while the exact
number of new members is not de-
termined yet, it is safe to say that
no one in the city was omitted by the
canvassers and there has been a gen.
erous response. The officers feel
very much pleased with the results
both in membership dues and in
added interest in the work itself. Each
new member means one more person
who has enlisted for war duty.

said, twill be satisfied without COM

District boards are required to send
lists to the local boards of men who
claim temporary discharge.

office in Washington also issued in
structions to guide registered men
who are either at officers training
camps or who have applied for ad-

TAXES CUT BY new
COUNCIL RESOLUTION
Passing of Bond Issue Enables
City to Lower Tax. Will
Make improvements.

With handsome majority the bond
issue which was voted on Monday at
a special election, carried.
The election was held for the pur-
pose of letting the people decide
whether they wished to increase the
Indebtedness of the city to make i'm
provements which were deemed nec-
essary.
The money derived from the sale Of
the bonds will be used to enlarge and
improve the central pumping plant, in
order to insure sufficient supply of
water for the city's needs. A central
sewerage system will also be con-
structed and installed, and improve
ments made which will prevent sewer
age from backing up into the cellars
and Easements of the city during the
high water periods.
It was stated before the election
that if the bond issue carried that the
taxes of the city would be reduced.
That this has been lived up to is
shown by the resolution which was
introduced at the council meeting on
Wednesday which embodies to the let
ter, every promise made to the voters
regarding this matter.
The resolution adopted was for de.
termining the amount of the city
taxes for all purposes to be levied and
assessed on the taxable property in
the city Of Glasgow for the current
fiscal year. It provides for tax levy
of IL mills, with 112 mills additional
for the fire department. Last year
the levy was II mills on every dollar
of taxable property with an additional
tax of 1h mills for the fire depart
ment. This is a reduction of mills
in the tax levy. The resolution was
introduced at the meeting by City
Manager Blitman, and will reduce the
taxes for the city this year by 29.4
per cent.
