Medals for 432 Scouts.

The meeting last night was to give
Secretary Glass of the Treasury De-
partment an opportunity to present
medals to 432 Boy Scouts of the Dis
trict for their fine work in selling
victory bonds, and to urge the neces-
sity of supporting the campaign for
a million associate members of the
Boy Scouts of America.
IF the Boy Scouts of America had
done nothing more than their SPLEEN
did work during the five liberty loan
campaigns they would have earned
the thanks of the nation" said Sec
rotary Glass.
IF / could speak as eloquently as
your spirited applause, / would be the
greatest orator in the world" said the
Secretary, as veritable roar of APP
plause died away. The khaki-clad boys
who were present by the hundreds let
out another roar.
There is one thing 1 know about
the Boy Scouts" continued Secretary
Glass, land that is they are antagonis-
tic to nothing good and hostile to
everything bad.
"As Secretary of the Treasury, 1
want to thank the Boy Scouts for the
splendid way in which they aided the
victory liberty loan. 1t had been said
&n some quarters that we couldn't put
the victory loan over; that there was
q let-down among the American peo-
pie; that they had laid their patriotism
away on the shelf like an old garment.
But never believed that. And / knew
that you boys could appeal to the peo-
PIE to subscribe to the loan 1 went

and smelters of Arizona. Utah and Mon
taua Il was said the conference deyel-
views, and will be continued tomorrow.
Grave conditions were said to have
arisen in the copper industry since the
abnormal war demand for copper subsid-
ed This has been reflected in the de-
cline of the price of the metal and in
the laying eff Of between % and 80 per
cent If the workers. Officials were told
that agitators had used the reduction in
working forces to spread their doctrines,
but apparently had small success.
An official statement on the confer
ence said the delegates gave the secre
tary first hand information of the condi-
tions prevailing in the several districts
and expressed themselves as desirous
of finding some solution Of the unem-
ploynent problem that would not have
a depressing effect on the industry.

time of the senate was turned
into an "old ladies quilting

criticism the tremendous dip

suading the great powers to
agree to the principle of colon

ed league of nations.
The victory Of the president

they assailed it on general prln-
ciples. Senator Lodge, Massa-

BY WARREN w. MOSES.

Helena, Jan. 31.-With the Dearborn
and sun River county bills already in

its last throes, lis demise being srhed-
uied for tomorrow forenoon at $50.
cascade county Is practically free from
the threatened division and need have
no further fears of the legislative di-
yorce court before which its several
separation matters have been pending IN
recent weeks.
That old matrimonial argument that
two can live as cheapIy as enc has been
successfully countered by the people Of
Great Falls and of the sections to be
included in the proposed new counties
who were opposed to their creation, and
unless the proposers of new counties
can succeed later in bringing about
division under the McCope law. Cascade
county will retain its present territorial
status for the next two years at least,
This afternoon the house committee
on new counties and divisions passed
Judgment upon the Sun River county
bill. 1t will report the bin back next
Monday with the recommendation that 1t
do not pass.
Tomorrow morning at $50 the com
mttce will resume consideration Of The
DAILY County bill and at that time will
take action unfayorable to the measure.
Such action could have been taken to-
night as the majority of the committee
WAS decided as to what disposition
should be made of IT, but as there were
two or three members more or less in-
tcrested in other county division bills
who were either favorable to DAILY coun-
ty or not ready to join with the major
1ty. an adjournment was taken until to-
morrow.
The hearing Of the DAILY bill was held
at $50 this evening in the Placer with
Il large attendance of interested persons,
including nearly 20 from Belt and vicin-
ity who favored the proposition, and
about the same number from Great

argument in support of the measure was
ably delivered by G. w Merkle
