GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Mar,ke, Comment.

Moderate optimism Is to be noted In
most of the market letters which went
out yesterday from Wall Street to brok-
ers' customers While It is admitted that
the steel strike and the Industrial I'M
rest In general, which IL apparent. be-
comes a factor OF uncertainty, most OF
the professionals believe that the back
bone of the strike Is broken and that
this should cause the market to give a
good account Of itself. Merrill. Lynch
& Co. say I'VE are in a trading market
which has an upward tendency Ander-
son. Bruins Co. say that on recessions
II Is a good speculation 10 buy the gen.
erai list. Block, Maloney & Co. say that
they "look for higher prices for stocks
during the coming week." E W. Wagner
& Co. say that diminishing of labor trou-
bies and ratification of the peace treaty
In some form will induce q big dow of
investment funds to Wall Street The
odd Lot Reriow AYERS that stocks rave
gravitated INTO exceptionally strong
hands as a result of the recent slump.

considerable embarrassment, as several
Arms which had prepared circulars on

MONTANA STOCKGROWERS
MEET NEXT WEEK

Miles City, April 9.-The annual
convention of the Montana Stockgrow-
ers' association is to be held in this
city on April Is and 16. Those who
have attended these conventions in
the past need nothing more than an
announcement to persuade them to lay
aside work for the short time neces-
sary to attend the meeting. Miles
City is putting forth special endeav-
or to see that the entertainment pro-
vided during this two-day session will
not leave an idle moment, nor an un-
interesting one, on the hands of those
who attend.
The program prepared by the com
mittee in charge offers some excep-
tional inducements to all who are in
terested in any phase of the livestock
industry. Undoubtedly one of the
most important discussions on the
program will be that of the PROPOSE
ton to form a conference committee
of packers, stockgrowers and govern
ment. Senator kendrick of Wyoming,

opportunity today of seeing real

Several of these tanks have been
allotted to this district and Glasgow

them. isSl

MISSOURI BREAKS UP
AND CUTS NEW CAPERS

The ice in the Missouri broke up
this Thursday evening and Old
Muddy is being true to her reputa-
tion of always having a new stunt to
spring.
A gorge Immediately formed in the
narrow channel just below the ferry
landing and the water rose and flood
ed the adjacent flats so quickly that
in some cases the occupants of house
on the bank and we'll back on the
first bench were obliged to vacate
during the night with such belong
ings as they could hastily grab. Mr..
Swanson, who was watching his ferry
boat, exploded heavy shot of dyna-
mite as a prearranged signal to warn
his wife and others of the danger of
the rapidly rising water.
The gorge held so we'll that the
deluge of water was forced across
the timber flat mile and half south
of the regular channel at Old Town
and at the time this is written the
torrent is racing through newly chos-
en- course with an endless roar and
grind. Little has been learned of the
conditions over there but there is
considerable apprehension for the peo-
pie living in the district that may
be inundated. Some of these farmers
are Morris Lund, j. B. Randall, Chas.
Stille, Murel Purdy and L. Cavyell.
It is thought to be quite possible
that the erratic old river will cut a
new channel and set chunk of Nc
Cone over into Roosevelt.-Wolf Point

WOMEN'S PATRIOTIC ASSN.
CHANGES TO CIVIC CLUB
Old Organization Disbands and Glas-
gov Civic Improvement Club
Organized in Stead.

On Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock
the Women's Patriotic Association met
at the court house and disbanded their
organization, which had been organiz-
but for the period of the war.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, Mrs. j. L. Slattery,
and Mrs. Ora F. Mcintyre chosen as
secretary pro tenn in the absence of
the regular secretary, Mrs. Carl Ac-
hermann. The president in her ra-
marks, stated that she thought they
could feel just pride in the work
which they had accomplished and that
the women were to be congratulated
on the untiring efforts they had put
forth to aid the Red Cross and help
ing in this way to alleviate the suf-
ferings of our boys in France. She
also stated the gardens planted by the
organization had yielded two tons Of
potatoes, and that many acres of grain
would not have been planted had it
not been that the seed was furnished
free Of charge, thus helping to in
crease the food supply.
Before the organization disbanded
| a vote of thanks was extended to Mrs.
Slattery for her unselfish efforts in
the work of the organization, and on
behalf of the people of Glasgow, Mr..
Wedum also extended vote of thanks
to the women of the organization for
the work which they had accomplish
ed. Owing to the absence of the
treasurer, Mrs. J. w. Wedum, the
treasurer's report was read by Mr..
Wedum.
As the Woman's Patriotic Associa-
tion became a thing of the past, a
discussion followed as to the feast
bility of organizing a civic improve
ment club. Mr.. Wedum spoke Of the
might accomplish and expressed him
self as being heartily in favor of a
| Civic club. L. E. Jones also made a
few remarks by way of encourage
ment to the ladies, and Attorney Nc
Kellar outlined briefly the legal steps
necessary in order to create special
improvement districts, which would
have to be done if the boulevards were
to be filled in and other improvements
made.
1t was finally voted to organize
such society, to be called the Glas-
gov Civic Improvement Club, and the
following officers were unanimously
elected: President, Mrs. j. l.. Slat-
terry; vice president, Mrs. T. H. Mar
kle; second vice president, Mrs. j. E.
Arnot, secretary, Mrs. Ora F. Mc1n-
tyre, and treasurer, Mrs. w. H. Gro

five PER CENT LOAN
RATE IMPROBABLE
Suggestions That Victory Issue Bear
Higher Interest Discounted at
Washington.

Washington, April 8-The per cent
interest rate borne by the war finance
corporations new one-year bonds, ap-
proved by the treasury, is not to be
taken as an index of the rate on Vic
tory Liberty loan notes, it was stated
authoritatively Monday.
The treasury believes, it was ex-
planned, that securities, which are not
direct obligations Of the government,
must bear from u to 3-4 per cent
higher interest than government notes
or bonds and that, consequently, there
can be slight relationship between the
rates of the war finance corporation
bonds and of the Victory notes.
Suggestions Not Favored.
Suggestions that the Victory issue
should bear at least per cent are
reaching the treasury persistently
from banking and other commercial
interests, but apparently the proposals
are not looked on favorably. Rates
Of Az or even 4A, as carried by the
past two issues Of bonds, have been
discussed by treasury officials much
more than the higher rate.
Secretary Glass is known to believe
that per cent is too high for gov
ernment notes partially tax exempt.
Rate Will Be Fixed Soon.
The rate and other terms of the
loan will be determined within the
next week or ten days and announced
only a few days before April 21,
when the selling campaign opens.
Printing of the notes have been
started by the bureau of engraving,
and thousands are being turned out
daily, to be completed when terms are
decided. The notes as partially fin
ished bear interest coupons and in
more other respects resemble Liber-
ty bonds.

tor, Rev. F. E. Henry, in the pages
of the current issue of The Christian

WET GOODS IN SATCHEL
BUT NOT AS YOU GUESS

Aberdeen, S. D., April 3.-Local
residents today are enjoying good
laugh at the expense of Aberdeen
sleuths, who trailed two innocent gen.
tlemen suspected of being bootleg
gers and who were victims of an April
fool comedy which was in no sense
premeditated.
The incident took place at the St.
Paul road station. The officers were
on the qui vive, or something, for
men and women who insist on shat
tering the states bone dry statute.
The two travellers arrived with a
satchel seemingly quite heavy. A
railroad man called the sleuths' at
tention to the fact that it was slightly
wet.
The satchel was checked and the
detectives decided to wait until the
owner or owners returned before act
ing.
After long wait the two men re-
turned and called for the satchel
They We're promptly arrested.
"On what charge?" asked one of
the men Indignantly.
"Bootlegging," curtly replied an Of
ficer.
"Boot leg'-the prisoner choked on
the word. The satchel was being
opened.
Sixty seconds later the travellers
were released
The satchel contained two puppies.

VALLEY '.> e.! COUNTY !!'!!'Y, TO
HAVE FAIR THIS YEAR
TO BE BIGGEST FAIR EVER; COUNTY COMMIS-
SIONERS MAKE LIBERAL APPROPRIATION
FOR SAME AND HAVE NAMED A CON-
MISSION TO TAKE CHARGE

Valley county is to have a three
day fair this year that will be bigger
and better than any previous fair ever
held in the county.
The county commissioners have
made an appropriation of fifteen hun
dred dollars to be used in defraying
the expenses of putting on the fair
and have named a fair commission
consisting of five members to take
charge of all arrangements. The
members of the commissio mare: j.
I. Rowe of Hinsdale, Otto M. Christ
inson of Glasgow, d. S. Hall of Glas-
gov, Ed Feehan of Nashua and VIM.
Leonard of Glasgow-three farmers
and two business men.
The fair commission have taken the
matter up with the circuit of county
fairs throughout the state regarding
attractions and amusements of the
higher class and by securing the at
fractions through this circuit they
will be able to eliminate considerable
expense.
The commission is going to endeav-
or to make this the best fair ever
held here and all energies and efforts
will be put forth to make it success
from the farmers standpoint.
The commission would like to have
the farmers take an active interest
in this fair and would very much ap-
preciate all suggestions coming from
the farmer.
We have not had a fair in this
county since 1916. The commission
ers thought it inadvisable to try to
put on fair the past two years due
to crop failures and the fact that
most people were busy with war ac-
tivities, but now that the war is over
and the prospects for bumper crop
are better than they have ever been
the commissioners have acted accord
ing to the wishes of large number
of farmers and have decided to hold
a fair this year.

himself an experienced cattle mar,
will discuss this proposition. He ha3
recently attacked this proposition
openly and will give an interesting
and instructive talk on this question,
which is undoubtedly of the greatest
moment to the stockgrowers of Mon
tana.
M. J. Gormley and B. B. Grear, as
sistant regional directors for the rail-
road administration, and R. M. CAL
kins, of the Milwaukee, will repre-
sent the railroads. Among the other
speakers of national repute, who will
address the convention, are: John d.
Halliday of Chicago, president Of the
Wool Warehouse company; T. w.
Tomlinson Of Denver, secretary of the
American Livestock association, and
A. E. DeRiqles of Denver, vice pres
ident and general manager of that
body. State speakers include Lieut..
Governor w. w. Mcdowell, j. X. Mof-
fett of Billings and Albert Brown of
Birney.
The questions for discussion this
year are vital to the stockmen; the
speakers are the best obtainable and
the entertainment features will be
thoroughly enjoyable. The officers
of the association urge all stockmen
to make an exceptional effort to be
present at this convention.

Strengthened out, together with a rec
ord of deposit account, evidently he
forgot it.
Mr.. Mitchell was asked to do lit
tie more work on utility ledger, and
he is in harmony with our suggestions.
You will now want new bonds for
the new officials; please bear in mind
that all official and indemnity bonds
must read to the State of Montana,
and should be briefed after approval
by the council and described in the
minutes as follows:
"Approved by the council this.
day Of..-...........-...--.....--., OF. 1919.

The pleasure of examining Mr.
Mitchell's records helps soften the
memories of three former occasions,
and it is hoped our next visit will
find him still on the job.
