ORPHEUM INSTALLING
NEW FIBRE SCREEN

The Orpheum theatre will be equip
ped with a Minusa Gold fibre projec-
ton screen which is recognized the
world over as the one important fea-
ture of any theatre in that projected
pictures on a Minusa screen are life
like, soft toned and the surface is
scientifically constructed so that all
eye-strain is eliminated, therefore Or
pheum patrons will have the privi
lege of viewing the pictures as Of
ten as they care to without any anx-
iety as to their vision. In selecting
the costly Minusa screen, Mr. Rob-
bins gave the little folks due consid-
GRAFTON concerning eye-strain and his
consideration in this respect is regard
ed as priceless asset in connection
with the success of his beautiful play
house. Minusa screens are used in
such theatres as the new two million
dollar Newman theatre, Kansas City,
Mo, the million dollar Pantheon, Chi
cago, ILL.,; the wonderful Rialto and
Rivoli theatres of New York City and
the worlds largest Hippodrome the
atre of New York. These endorse
ments are ample in assuring Glasgow
motion picture fans that nothing more
perfect in the way of a projection
screen can be had.

new IRRIGATION Canal
MAY Be CONSTRUCTED
MOVEMENT UNDER WAY TO URGE CONGRESS
TO TAKE ACTION; PROPOSED PROJECT
EMBRACES 10000 ACRES; DELEGA-
TION GOING TO WASHINGTON.

new irrigation canal extending
from the Nelson reservoir running east
on the north side Of the Milk river
will be constructed if the efforts and
energy of the various communities
within the proposed canal are sue
cessful in their appeal to the reclama-
tion service. By fastening and en-
larging the construction program in
the territory east of the Nelson res
ervoir, it will serve double purpose
the providing of immediate and suf-
ficient employment for the drouth
stricken farmers thereby enabling
them to stay in the country and to
place our valley lands on producing
basis.
The proposed project embraces am
acreage of about $4,000 acres. Com
mittees from Hinsdale and Saco cal
led on the U. S. reclamation service
office at Malta last week, and explain
ed the matter. The land owners with
in the project affected signed petit
tions urging construction as soon as
possible. Copies of these petitions
with descriptions of lands affected.
have gone forward to Senators Walsh
! and Myers, Representatives Riddick
and Evans and Secretary of the In
terror Lane.
The strong plea of the people in
terested in this district is for the i'm
mediate passage of the Riddick $780,
100000 appropriation bill, as offer
ing the quickest, most logical and
cheapest form of relief for our set
tiers on the dry land farms.
1t has been decided to send a dele
cation to Washington from the towns
interested as we'll as two or more del
egates from Sun River project. 1t is
anticipated that this committee will
leave about the 23rd of August for
Washington. This is very important
matter to the welfare of the district
and the state at large and there is no
question of doubt, as to the support
of every citizen to secure immediate
action. The Glasgow chamber of COM
merce is back of this movement with
it's entire force, and is urging its MEM
-bers to help in every way possible to
secure this proposed canal.

GLASGOW ATTRACTS
MANY Home SEEKERS
Excellent Apartment Houses, Splend
id Schools and Other Advan-
tages Are Here.

Glasgow is destined to be the larg-
est city of northern Montana and with
the development of the lands under
the Milk Rivery Valley Irrigation pro-
ject, we are assured of prosperity
and growth. Glasgow today is a mod
ern and up to date city. Many home
seekers are being attracted by the op-
portunities that exist here. Inquir-
les are being received daily at the
chamber of commerce quarters for
houses and apartments.
Glasgow has already a number of
travelling men representing various
wholesale houses, who make headquar-
ters here and travel in and out in
every direction.
There are several reasons why Glas-
gov is particularly attractive to both
transients and farmers who wish to
send their children to school during
the winter months. The best and most
attractive stores, hotels and show
houses in northeastern Montana are
located here. Then, too, we have ev-
cry modern convenience that is found
in every large city. Our schools are
among the best in the state. Our eff
ficient city mail delivery also makes
living in Glasgow desirable.
The Glasgow chamber of commerce
has free information bureau in con.
nection with their organization, which
is of great service to the public.

RUSSIAN THISTLE HAY
MAKES EXCELLENT FEED

Now is the time to begin securing
the farm for every available patch Of
feed. There are a number Of fields
throughout the county where the Rus
sian thistles are about ready for hay.
These thistles mixed with grain will
certainly make feed this winter. A
good many farmers look rather skep-
tical when told that Russian thistles
make good feed.
The common practice is to cut them
before the spiker begins to harden,
and at this stage they have attained
most of their growth. Care should
be exercised in stacking to prevent
the thistles from spelling. The meth
cd found best by most farmers is to
handle the same way as they would

atable feed will be provided. Farm
ers who have fields covered with

VETERANS REUNION
DURING STATE FAIR
All Wounded Veterans Will Receive
Transportation and All Expenses
Guests of the State.

The following is a letter that is
being sent to all war veterans by
the Veterans Welfare commission no.
tifying them Of the big reunion that
is to be held at Helena during state
fair week:
Dear Comrade: The state of Mon
tana is holding state celebration of
the return of it's soldiers, sailors and
marines. This celebration will cover
the second and third days of the state
fair, being Tuesday and Wednesday of
the week beginning September 9Th,
1919.
The big day, the Reunion Day, will
be Wednesday, September 10th.
On this date all men coming in un-
form will be entertained by the state,
and on the evening of that day there
will be big mass meeting of soldiers
at the auditorium in the city of Hell
ena, or at such other place in the
city as will accommodate the crowd.
The men who have been wounded in
the service of their country in the re-
cent war will be the especial guests
of the state. Nb inquiry will be
made as to the necessity of paying
their railroad fare into Helena and
from Helena back home, but evidence
of their service and of their disabil-
tiles is all that will be necessary.
These men will be given the best ac-
commodation and entertainment which
we cam obtain, and it is the desire of
those in charge that they, as we'll as
all other veterans, be made to re-
member the occasion with pleasure.
Application for transportation may
be obtained at the office of the sec
retary of the local soldiers organ
ization, or at the Red Gross headquar-
ters where there is no such associa-
ton. Do not hesitate to apply for
these blanks and send in the infor-
nation, as it is not charity-it is
just like the state of Montana were
giving big house party and furnish
ing transportation to it's guests, only
that in this case this part of the hos
pitality extends only to the wounded
men.

For the doubtful we will refer them
to Peter Trubell of Lismas, or an ex-

pertinent station where thistles were
fed in a comparative test with alfalfa
and they proved to be of equal food
value.
Baled straw at $40 per ton from
North Dakota and cotton seed cake
at $50 per ton from the south may
be the cheapest way out to carry live
stock over the winter. Sixteen pounds
Of straw and two pounds Of cake cos'
sixteen cents. Twenty pounds of hay
at $50 would cost thirty cents.

FOREST FIRES SPREAD
OVER LARGE AREAS
Situation Is Extremely Serious-Old
Blazes Escaping Beyond all
Control.

Missoula, August 2O.-The general
situation in forestry district No. /,
Montana and northern Idaho, never
in the history of the west has been
as serious as it is today, according
to forestry officials. New fires are
breaking out, old blazes are escaping
beyond all control, spreading over the
country, and coupled with these facts
are the reported vicious actions of in
cendiaries in the woods who not only
have set fires in isolated spots but
have in several instances severed con-
nection with the fire fighting crews
and the outside world, with serious re-
suits.
Fires in the Salmon mountains dis
trict of the Bitter Root forest ran wild
over the country south Of the Bitter
Root valley, famed by high winds.
The White Cap fires are also very bad.
They have escaped all control lines.
So severe are the blazes in the Sell
way forest of central Idaho that at
three important lookout stations the
front lines have been abandoned as
the density of the smoke pouring from
flames burning through the dry, yel-
low timber country makes it impos-
sible to accomplish anything. The
Picking, Eagle Butte and Rocky Ridge
llazes are the worst in the Selway
forest.
Communication with the Clearwater
forest was severed by members of a
crew coming out from the fires, cut
ting telephone wires. Thirty men
were in the crew which passed out
along the telephone line, which be-
fore they left, forestry officials re-
PORT, was in perfect working order.
Lfter they had passed out, all COM
munication was cut off. lnvestiga-
ton revealed that the government line
had been cut in seven places and the
wires were wrapped around trees. AS
result it has been impossible to OBJ
tain information from the clearwater
forest or get any calls for men which
might have been sent.

valley. a few miles north of Missoula,
