fIREMEN'S BALL A
BRILLIANT SUCCESS
Annual Affair Held on St. Valentines g
Night Draws Large Crowd.-Altar
Society Serves Supper.

The annual ball given by the fire
department of the city on st. Valen-
tines evening was a hugh success in
every particular. The Gibson opera
house, which was used for the affair,
was very tastefully decorated to suit
the occasion, and great credit is due
the committee for their arduous ef-
forts which resulted in the pleasing
effect produced. This committee con-
sisted of Leo Coleman, Sam Rugg,
Carl Ackermann and Harry Booth.
A six-piece orchestra led by Mr..
Tweedy furnished excellent music,
which was greatly appreciated by the
dancers.
For some time past this annual event
has been eagerly anticipated by those
who enjoy dancing as a pastime, and
on this evening the scene was a brill
liant one. Three hundred tickets were
sold which proves it's popularity. At
12 o'clock the ladies of the Altar So
ciety served splendid supper in the
Coleman hotel dining room and were
highly complimented on the good
things provided.

WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN
FOR YEAR 1919 OPENS

Butte, February 17.-"The war saw
ings stamp campaign for 1919 opens
this week by the various county di-
rectors organizing war savings So
cieties in all schools in the state. This
year is going to be a real education
al campaign of thrift and it is fitting
that we start in the schools. How
ever, this is only start, for the ac-
tivities of the war savings societies
will extend to every industry-in fact
we intend to try to organize war
savings society everywhere five peo-
pie get together. Our object is to
make a saver out of every citizen
and the war savings societies are the
machinery through which we shall
work to this end The work will con-
tinue through the year," Vice State
Director James r. Spencer said today.
"Our organization has huge task
before it and we do not expect to
change the spending habit of our peo-
pie in a short time, but 1919 can add
another large solid block to the thrift

FOUR SERIOUSLY BURNED
IN KEROSENE EXPLOSION
Boy of IL Attempts to Rekindle Fire
in Kitchen Range and Explosion
Occurs That Comes Near
Costing Two Lives. e,s -

After attempting to rekindle the
kitchen fire in preparation for the
evening meal Sunday afternoon about
o'clock, Lee Messerly, II years of
age, came near losing his life as a
result of the explosion of five gal
lon can of kerosene he was using in
which to revive the fire.
The young man had proceeded with
the work of starting the fire, thinking
the Goals were entirely out, and after
placing some kindling in the stove,
he started to pour some kerosene on
to the wood when the explosion oc-
Cured blowing the can to pieces and
throwing flaming oil over himself and
his 13 year old sister Vivian, burning
them both severely.
The mother Immediately ran to the
assistance of the children and she and
the baby in her arms received severe
burns about the hands, though not of
a serious nature.
The heroic action of Mrs. Messerly
saved the children from certain death
and that the family were rescued from
almost certain death for all, seems
little short of a miracle.
Neighbors brought the two eldest
children to the city Monday and last
reports state they are speedily recov-
ering.-Malta Call.

spector was recommended for pas
sage today by the house.
Helena, February 2O.-Two new
counties were added to the state of
Montana this week through the Gre
alton of Roosevelt county out of Sher-
idan and McCone out of Dawson and
Richland, while late last week Glacier
county and Pondera county were ere
ated out of Teton county, making four
new counties which were permitted to
become created without the signature
of the governor, who refused to eth
er approve or veto the bills provid-
ing for their creation.
With Garfield and Treasure coun-
ties created earlier in the season,
Montana now has 40 counties, six of
which have been made by the six
teenth legislative assembly.
The legislature Wednesday went on
record as favoring the erection of
five normal schools in the state of
Montana, adopting reports from the
joint committee on normal schools
favoring as the location of such in
stitutions Malta, Lewiston, Terry
Billings and Kalispell The Lewis
town normal is provided for in bill
recommended for passage in the
house, and the other four by bills in
troduced by the senators from the
counties in which it is intended to To-
cate them. All other proposed normal
school bills have been killed.
There has been passed in the house
bill introduced by Representative
Higgins Of Missoula county provid-
ing for the creation of the Veterans
Welfare Commission to be composed
of three members selected by the gov
ernor, to serve without pay, to aid
and assist returning soldiers in get.

appropriation of 100000 to be pro-
vided by issuing bonds.

MILK RIVER VALLEY
HAS BRIGHT FUTURE
Is Opinion of ]. C. Edsall, Construct
ing Engineer, of Portland, Who
Will Locate in Glasgow.

That there are vast possibilities for
the future in store for the Milk River
valley district is the firm belief of j.
C. Edsall, an experienced construction
engineer, of Portland, Oregon. So
sure of this fact is Mr.. Edsall that
he has decided to Cd me to Glasgow
and locate permanently. In conversa-
ton with a Courier reporter he said,
in part:
In looking over the vast amount of
beautiful farming lands surrounding
Glasgow and adjacent towns and COM
pairing them with other districts with
which l am acquainted, am surpris-
ed that the raising of sugar beets has
not been developed.
The soil conditions are perfect, be-
ing superior to the Billings district
and equal to any in Colorado, and all
that is needed is the proper amount
of cooperation on the part of the
farmers and business men of the COM
munity to attain the best and most
helpful industries known for the COM
munity.
The raising of sugar beets gives
employment to a large number of
people of both sexes the entire year
either in the field or factory, and this
means good, steady business through
the entire year, not like the ordinary
farming district where it is feast
and famine.
This is only one of many gooc
things in store for Glasgow with the
coming of irrigation. Having spent
nine years in the reclamation service
I feel that l am in a position to speak
with first-hand knowledge of the diff
ferent soil conditions.
l will be located here permanently
and will always be glad to meet any
one at any time and talk over the
different phases Of irrigation with
them, also anything else that can be
Of help in any way in advancing the
interests of the community.

Special to the Courier.

Special to the Courier.
Helena, Feb. Ex-senator Slattery
of Valley county made a hard fight
today in the senate in committee of
the whole to have a normal school sit
'uated at Glasgow, striving to have the
recommendation of the joint commit
tee on normal schools changed when
the bill for the creation of a school
at Malta came up in committee Of the
whole.
The senator from Valley made an
excellent talk on the subject, pointed
out the advantages of Glasgow as the
location for such an institution and
he was supported in his contention by
Senator Clark of Toole county and
Senator Anderson of Richland county.
Bills for schools at Malta and Terry
have passed the senate.
The house today passed the Berge-
son bill providing for the appointment
of William Lindsey of Glendive, w. o.
Fiske of Hamilton and Frank Eliel of
Dillon as a board of control to place
the various bureaus, departments and
other sections of the state govern
ment on a business basis. A similar
bill has been killed by a close vote
IN the senate, but it is figured that
there may be yet an opportunity to
get such bill by.
In the house today by vote of 81
to "a the search and seizure law, pre-
pared by the prohibition leaders in
the state and introduced by Mrs. Hath
away, was defeated minority report
of the committee on public morals
being adopted.
The house late yesterday afternoon
adopted a motion by Higgins Of Mis-
soula county that it was the sense of
the lower body of the legislature that
none of the money appropriated in
the bill authorizing an expenditure of
$4,000 for the aid of returning vet
erans be spent for other than the pur-
poses enumerated in the bill. The
adoption of the motion followed the
defeat of resolution that none of it
should go for the expenses of a COM
mission appointed to welcome the
boys and which is considering a trip
to New York. The resolution was de-
feated, only after Mccormick of Mis-
soula county stated that the COM
mission, which is composed of Senat-
or Kinney, Representative McCorm-
ick, w. B. George Of Billings, Lieu
tenant Governor Mcdowell and Dan
d. Goza, would pay its own expenses.

Valley county is honored in the new
play, "The Long Trail" written for
the farm bureaus of Montana by Miss
Mignon Quaw. The scenes of this
three act play are all laid in Montana.
The first act shows conditions in the
Fort Benton territory way back in '6'.
The second act takes place in the pam
icky days of 1893. The last act car
ries the biggest year in all history
1918.
This great play will be presented
at Glasgow on the evening Of the big
farm bureau meeting, Saturday eve
ming, February 22nd, at the Orpheum
theatre. The "Long Trail" has been
presented with great success in connec-
tion with the farm bureau meetings
over the state. In Ravalli one of the
newspapers made the following COM
ment:
"No play, amateur or professional,
has ever been produced in Hamilton
in many years that exceeded it. Ev-
very member of the cast displayed
marked ability and complete command
of their many difficult characters"
You can not afford to miss this Mon
tana play, written by a Montana wo-
man for Montanans.
President Peterson, who saw "The
Long Trail' in Bozeman, says, II was
astonished at the success of the play
They had big house and the play
was repeated the next night to full
house. l was talking with some OF
