Be Trained by University
Instructors.

Chancellor Elliott of the Greater
University of Montana has signed the
contract which will make Fort Mis-
soula a government school for me-
chanics to be operated under the aus
plces of the University of Montana.
This action was taken after six weeks
OF negotiations with members of the
war department and the committees
from the state university and the
Montana state college, relative to the
opening of a school for government
mechanics at Fort Missoula and the
State college at Bozeman.
August Is, 200 men will be sent to
Missoula together with officers to re-
reive a two months training in auto
mobile repairing, blacksmithing. wire
less and general mechanics. After
they have received their training other
men will be sent here and the school
will go on until the end of the war
The government officials wanted to
send at least 500 men, but the uni
versity authorities preferred to start
out with a smaller number until thew
are accustomed to the work, One
hundred men will be sent to Bozeman
June IL for a two months course.
They will be housed in the dormitorv
at the state college there. The in
struction at Bozeman will be onlv
during the summer months because of
the lack of room.
The university will have charge of
the housing and feeding and instruc-
ton of the men sent to Missoula. In

the leading sheep men of the state
and they r practically unanimous in
their enthusiastic endorsement of the
plan, according to information given
out by Secretary r. S. Skinner Of the
state fair. Many breeders have offered
their hearty support and a leading
sheep man has announced that he will
enter $50 pure-bred sheep for this
show and sale.
Secretary R. G.. Wilson, of the Mon
tana Sheep Breeders association, is
working out the details of the sale
in cooperation with the fair manage
ment and it is the present intention to
handle it much along the same lines
as the international ram sale held at
Salt Lake city.
Sales totalling approximately $780,
900 were made at the latter event last
winter, entries and buyers coming
from several foreign countries. If the
Montana show and sale car be de-
veloped to a point where it will be
on an equal footing with the Salt Lake
city event-and according to present
plans this will soon be brought about
it should prove a powerful incen-
tive for increased sheep and wool pro-
duction in Montana. Arizona is at
present at the top of the list with
Wyoming second and Montana a close
third in sheep and wool production.
An annual sale of national Importance
held in the state in connection with
such a widely advertised event as the
Montana state fair, should prove of
sufficient value to boost Montana into
first place among the wool producing
states.
Ample housing facilities will be pro-
vided at the fair grounds to handle
several thousand head of sheep. A
large addition to the sheep exhibit
barn was built last year, but addi-
tional space will be provided by re-
modelling several speed barns at pres
ent not in use, to take car of the
overflow.

PROMINENT SPEAKER
AT WAR CONFERENCE
George BrintOn Chandler Form
er Member of Congress Will
Deliver Interesting Address.

Helena, May 23.-Judging from the
letters being received by Charles D.
Greenfield, secretary of the Montana
council of defense, the attendance at
the war conference to be held in
Helena, May % and 30 will bring to-
gether not only representatives of
every county council in the state, but
also representatives of every organi-
cation, state and national, engaged in
war work. While the conference is
designed primarily to bring together
those actively engaged in war work
and identified with some organization,
nevertheless the public generally is in
vited to attend the meetings, because
it is felt what the speakers from out
side the state will live to say will be
of the utmost Importance to every
one.
George Brinton Chandler, who will
attend the conference as the repre-
sentative of the national council of
defense, has been chosen by the fed
eral government as M of its repre-
sentatives to assist in the organiza-
ton of speaking campaigns in the
west OF account of his extraordinary
success in organizing the war publicity
work for the state of Connecticut.
Mr.. Chandler was graduated at Bow
doin in 1890, vas a member of the
Connecticut house of representatives
in 1909 and 1911; and as a result of
his special aptitude in special indus
trial problems was appointed by Pres
ident Taft in 1912 a member of the
national commission on industrial re-
lations. When the Connecticut state
council of defense was appointed early
in 1917 Mr.. Chandler was chosen by
Goernor Holcomb to take charge of
its publicity work. His compact or
g~anization of speakers, his system
of standardizing speaking campaigns
throughout his state, his system of
press cooperation and his outlines of
material for speakers have been fol-
lowed as models by other states and
have attracted wide attention. Mr.
Chandler is, himself, a speaker of un-
usual force.
