SC0BEY HAVING Light
TROUBLES Of Her own
Citizens Are Getting Together on a
Proposition to Rescue the City
From Darkness.

The Scobey light plant recently fell
back to the ownership of J. R. Cough
lin, and is now being run by him at a
very large overhead expense. Mr..
Coughlin has announced that he will
continue the plant under instructions
of the state commission, until Jam
uary 1st, 1919, and at that time he
will close the plant down and offer
it for sale--as junk, if nothing else
and in the meantime what are the cit
liens going to do about it? This is
not a matter to joke about, but a prop
osition that is serious.
Many suggestions for the solving of
the light problem have been offered,
but they alone do not secure results.
Some have suggested that the bust
ness men get together and complete
arrangements for purchasing the plant
and installing a steam engine; others
have suggested that the city take it
over and operate it as a municipal
plant, and still other suggestions have
been offered. But just now winter
is coming on and the matter should
not be delayed for a single moment.
The Citizen wants to see the entire
city get together on this matter
right now! If the proper solution can
found among the business men, and
the people want it-let's have it; if
not, then we'll and good; let the city
go dark.
But think it over and let's act now.

CLOTHING
NEED STILL Grows
Red Cross O~ranizations Have AlreaAv
Raised Quota, but Should
Keep Working.


Although the amount Of clothing
collected by Red Cross organisations
has already exceeded the quota set,
yet the commission for relief in Bel
GUM has notified headquarters at
Washington that the need for these
garments is greater than ever.
Since the allied re-occupation Of
French and Belgian towns, new situa-
tons have been revealed and condi-
lions brought to light, showing the
dire necessity of these people and the
imperative need of immediate assist
ance.
Much credit is due the chapters, in
Guiding the Junior Red Cross, for the
splendid way in which they have been
supporting the commission, and, natur-
ally, that organization will depend
upon the Red Cross for regular dona-
tons. Chapters are urged to contin-
ue collections. Chapters are urged
to continue collectin clothing for these
unfortunate refugees; garments will
be most acceptable at any time. TT

refined in the smelters in Montana

Netherlands during the three years
Immediately preceding the outbreak
Of the war was the statement made to
a newspaperman at Los Angeles by
former United States Senator w. A.
Clark of Butte, who closed his home
in that city because of the influenza
and is now the guest of his brother,
J. Ross Clark, in the southern Cali
fornia city.
This statement gives i~ncontrovert-
IDLE proof of the rupidity of Germany

were made through three large cop
per-shipping concerns, whose direc-
tors and n Germans.
"Knowing these facts" said Senator
Clark, "but having no reason to sus-
pect the real purpose behind these CO.
lossal transactions, l could not imag-
inc what the little Hollanders wanted
to do with so much copper. But the
moment the great conflagration swept
over into France, l realized the mean
ing of it all.
"These extraordinary purchases, to
my mind, explain the fighting tenacity
of the Germans, even to the present
day. If they had not bought the
amount of copper that they did, they
would have been conquered long ago
for copper is an absolute necessity
for the development of power, the
manufacture of munitions and a hun
dred other phases in the conduct Of
the war.
War of Conquest Planned.
Senator Clark spoke with the en-
phasis of conviction. Looking young,
on the eve Of his eightieth birthday,
and accentuating his remarks with the
vigor of patriotic resentment, he point
ed to these facts as the best of proof
that Germany was equipping herself
to a war of conquest and was invest
ing fabulous sums to carry out it's evil
designs.
Discussing the war with remark

termed the good effects of the wal
