PETER A. WEST HAS
MADE GOOD RECORD

County Commissioner Peter A. West
who is candidate for the Republican
nomination to succeed himself, has
made splendid record during his
term in office. Despite the attacks of
the local Townley organ and it's
gang of commissioner character as
sassins, Mr.. West has at all times,
worked in the interest of the taxpay-
ers of Valley county and careful
check up of his record will bear out
that statement. Every effort has
been made to railroad him out of office
because he would not be dictated to
be the Townley gang, and each time
the effort has failed. There is not a
black mark on Pete Vests record as
county commissioner and a complete
vindication at the hands of the Jury
in the recent grand pury cases, bears
out this statement. The voters of
eastern Valley county justly feel that
the third commissioner of the board
should come from this section of the
county and will line up solidly behind
Mr.. West for the nomination at the
primaries next Tuesday.

Official Markers of Great ThorOfare
Will Compile All Information OF
Interest To Travellers

The official markers of the Roose-
velt Highway through the State of
Montana started on their work of
marking the roads and highways
Thursday morning.
On the trip from Glasgow west
they will put the shelloc and white
paint on the posts and markers along
the highway. The return trip will be
used to put the red stencil markings
and trail marks over the shellac and
white paint.
All along the trip the Official Mark
ers will collect data as to logging the
road, gathering information for tour
lists of the State and all helpful hints
as to points of interest, towns, cross
roads, trails, routes to interesting
spots, and in fact all information that
will make the beauty spots and scen-
cry of Montana along the Roosevelt
Highway easily accessible to all tour
lists and pleasure seekers of the coun-
try. This information will be compiled
in neat booklet form by the Theo-
dore Roosevelt Highway Association.
Few people realize the Importance
of this Highway as yet but time will
prove it to be one of the greatest
thorofares through the North West.
1t will be of great value to the COM
munities along the road and surround
ing territory. This from stand

SEN, B. G.. WHITE
GLASGOW VISITOR

Senator B. C. White one of the real
democratic leaders of the state and a
"war horse" of many big battles, was
a most pleasant visitor in Glasgow
Tuesday and spoke to a good sized
audience here Tuesday evening. Sen
ator White is one of the real big men
of the state and is fighter from the
word ego" He has the courage of his
convictions and does not hesitate to
tell the voters of the state just where
he stands on he big issues of the day.
He informed the voters in no uncertain
terms, that a gang of I. w. W. inter-
lopers were endeavoring to swallow
the democratic part of this state, hook,
line and sinker, and protested Wig
orously against the methods used by
them to railroad their candidates into
office.

Harry L. Wilson of Billings, can
didate for the Republican nomination
for governor at the primaries next
Tuesday addressed the voters of Glas-
gov and vicinity at the Wedum hall
Wednesday evening. The hall was
we'll filled when Mr.. Wilson opened
his address, and there was no equivo-
cation of hesitancy on his part in
stating his position in the present
campaign.
Mayor Matt Murray presided at the
meeting and Senator ]. c. Kenney of
Wibaux spoke prior to Mr.. Wilson,
Mr.. Kinney, who is pioneer of east
ern Montana, pointed out that in all
the years that Montana has been a
state, the chief executive had never
been chosen from the eastern section,
and stated that in his opinion it was
high time recognition along this line
was given to the vast agricultural
section of the state.
Mr.. Wilson told the people Of Glas-
gov that his candidacy was not in
spired by any one man or set of men
or at the suggestion of any company
or corporation and that his campaign
was not being financed by any cor
poration or individual. He stated
that he wanted the support of all
corporations and individuals who
were friendly to his candidacy and
made decided hit with his audience
when he stated that if he was de-
feated by any of the opposing can
didates he would be found ready and
waiting to donate his services to the
election of the Republican nominee,
whoever he might be.
"It is charged that I entered this
race at the instance of Senator J. E.
Edwards, and the Anaconda Copper
Mining company, for the sole purpose
of defeating Senator Dixon, and with
no expectation of being nominated my
self, all of which is absolutely and un-
qualifedly false. The venerable and
threadbare yell of 'Amalgamated' has
simply been added for good measure.
1t is not expected to exert much if any
influence. No officer, agent, represen-
tative or employe of that company has
at any time had the slightest connec-
tion with my candidacy, or so much as
offered suggestion that become
candidate. I know absolutely nothing
of that company's position in refer
ence to any of the gubernatorial cam
didates, except that do know that it
is not financing any part of the ex-
penses of my campaign, and that those
expenses are being paid by the Will
son-for-Governor club of Billings. If
it develops that have the support of
the Anaconda Copper Mining company
I shall certainly be glad of it, precise
ly as I shall be glad if l have yours.

ton to become a candidate Senator

LIGHTNING STRIKES
FOLLOWED BY FIRE
John Ildstads Home North East of
Glasgow Entirely Destroyed by
Fire Wednesday Night

Lightning struck and set fire to the
home of John Ildstad we'll known old
settler northeast of Glasgow Wednes-
day night. The house burned COM
pletely to the ground, nothing being
saved in the form of clothes or fur
niture.
About II o'clock at night after Mr..
and Mrs. Ildstad and the two children
staying with them had retired for the
evening lightning struck their home.
The stroke fas followed by a fast and
furious fire. The Ildstads were awak-
ened from their sleep by the smoke
and fire just in time to get out of the
building.
1t was with difficulty that they man.
aged to save the children and then
with no clothes at all except their
night apparel. Mr.. and Mrs. Ildstad
were bit more fortunate and man.
aged to get enough clothes for street
wear.
Mr.. 1ldstad reports the building as
being nearly complete loss as he
carried very little insurance. He is
quite down hearted at this additional
loss as he has seen the hot weather
take most of his crop this year. Then
came the hail storms and took the
balance Of his stand of grain. Now
that the fire has taken his house he
feels that he has had more than his
share of misfortune.

evening about nine o'clock. Mr..

the time of his death. With tho
death of Max Sklower, Malta and

Montana he was engaged in the bak-
cry business, but later opened hotel
and restaurant in Helena where he
lived until 1884 when he opened the
Sulphur hotel at White Sulphur
Springs where he remained until
1902. Mr.. Sklower in look
