GOOD ROADS DAY In
MONTANA, JUNE 18TH
Governor Issues Proclamation Setting
Aside Tuesday, June 18th, as
Good Roads Day.

Governor S. V. Stewart by procla-
nation yesterday set aside Tuesday,
June Is, as Good Roads day in Mon
tana, and urges that on that day the
people of the state contribute of the
labor, material and money toward the
improvement of highways. The gov
ernor calls attention to the fact that
there was a time when there was
division of sentiment about good roads
but that that time has passed, and it
is agreed that without good roads a
city or state cannot hope to achieve
it's destiny as unit of the country.
The proclamation is as follows:
"The degree of progressiveness to
which community aspires is never
more clearly shown than by the con-
dition of that community's street and
highway system. Time was when
there was a division of sentiment on
the question of building perfect roads,
but in these days of progress all cit
liens have come to agree on the prop
osition that without good roads COM
munity, city or a state cannot hope
to achieve it's destiny as unit of our
great country. Highways are all-im-
portant arteries in the body of the
nation, bringing the people closer to-
gether and contributing tremendously
to the commerce Of the country.
Therefore, I, S. V. Stewart, as
governor of the state of Montana, in
compliance with the statutes of the
commonwealth, do hereby designate
Tuesday, the fifteenth day of June
1920, as Good Roads day in this state
and request that our people contribute
of their labor, material or money to-
ward the improvement of the high.
ways of their respective communities
on that day.
"Let each of us do what in his pow
er lies to make the occasion one that
viii impress upon our people the val
ue of better roads and give still great
er impetus to the movement for high
way improvement that has taken such
firm hold upon the state.
"In witness whereof l have here
unto set my hand and caused the great
seal of the state to be affixed.
"Done at the city of Helena, the
capital, this, the fifteenth day o1
April, in the year of or Lord one
thousand nine hundred twenty.
"By the Governor:
as. V. STEWART,
&C. T. Stewart, Sec. of State.

SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT
Two Hundred Members and Guests
Entertained by North Star Lodge
No. 46 A. F. & A. M.-Many
Out-Of- Town Guests.

The first annual banquet and ball
by North Star lodge No. l6 A. F. G.
M, held in this city last evening, was
one OF the most enjoyable and success
tul social events OF the year. Local
Masons spared neither expense nor
labor to assure their guests of the
.evening royal entertainment and
from the opening strains of the grand
march to the close of "Home Sweet
Home there was not dull moment.
The Glasgow orchestra furnished the
music for the occasion and more than
! lived up to the splendid record it has
already established as a dance or
chestra. DR.. Mark D. Hoyt and DR..
u. II. Klein, the two oldest and most
enthusiastic MasOns, in the world, su-
pervlsed the floor managing assisted
by the entire membership of the lodge.
Approximately two hundred Masons
| with their wives and sweethearts from
Glasgow and surrounding lodges were
in attendance and the evening was one
OF unrestralned merrymaking from
start to finish. The committee on en-
tertalnment is entitled to special men
tlon for the excellent program ar
ranged. Interspersed with the dan
cling the guests were entertained by
songs from the local male quartette.
Japanese song and dance by Miss Ha-
Eel Hurd, songs by the mixed double
quartette, solos by Miss Gladys Nc
lntyre, reading by Miss Marguerite
Stratton and several beautiful violin
solos by Miss Margaret Anderson.
Worthy of special mention was a
number by S. c. Small, who surprised
and delighted his many friends with
a violin solo "Howdrie LAM written
especially for him by an able compos-
er who is now sojourning in Cuba.
This was followed by a burning disser-
, tation on the H. C. L. in Cuba by Rev
Alexander Jackson impersonated BY
our w. M. Mason.
, TO add to the general good time OF
/ the evening, quadrilles, circle two step.
A and rye waltzes were interspersed will

taught the younger ones the schot
tische and quadrille.
Following the dancing the guest:
all repaired to the Model Baker,
building where a bountiful banquet
had been prepared by the teacher and
students of the domestic science class
of the Glasgow high school and was
served by them. That the banquet
was everything that could be desired
in the way of good things to eat, goes
without saying.
The various committees in charge of
the arrangements for the First An
nual Masonic ball are to be highly
congratulated on the splendid enter
, talnment furnished their guests and
the next one will be looked forward to
with joyous anticipation by all who
were in attendance.

TWO BIG BALL GAMES
TOMORROW and SUNDAY
Wolf Point and Glasgow to Cross
Bats in First Games of Season
Tomorrow and Sunday.

Tomorrow afternoon at 4:30, Wolf
Point and Glasgow will officially start
the baseball season in this section of
Montana. This will be followed by
game at $3.50 Sunday.
1t is understood that Wolf Point
has practically the same team as they
had last year with some added mater
ial to strengthen the weak places.
Rook will probably do the pitching
for the visitors. Last year with about
the same lineup, the Wolves got away
with the long end when the season
wound up. This year the local boys
say they are going to have trouble in
any general cleanup which they may
contemplate, as their own organiza-
ton, though not yet complete by any
means, is still made up pretty much
of regular ball players.
Buck Jones will do the receiving
for Glasgow, with Manager Hester on
the first sack, Godfrey on second, Or
let on short and Buckley on third
Reynolds and Chouinard will hold
down two fielding positions. Up to
the present time, the Courier has not
been able to ascertain what pitchers
will do the twirling and who will fill
the vacancy in one of the fields. We
are assured, however, that they will
all be healthy two fisted ball players
The games Saturday and Sunday
will draw crowds from all points with.
in days riding distance of Glasgow
as every lover of the game knows
they will be we'll worth while.

FILMS OF ROOSEVELT
HIGHWAY TO Be SHOWN
Schedule Has Been Adopted for Film
ShOwings in All Towns on
Highway in Montana.

The films on the Roosevelt highway
arrived this week and are being shown
at various points east of Glasgow this
week, arriving in Glasgow in time for
the show at the Orpheum tomorrow
night.
The purpose of the film is to show
how better constructed highways as
sist in the development of the COM
munity and to stimulate interest in
the Roosevelt highway in particular
and good roads in general. The film
is interesting and educational and is
well worth the time and attention of
theatre goers and others.
The Roosevelt highway is an as
sured fact and all along the line the
people are getting behind it with en-
ergy and determination to make it a
success. All towns along the route
will prosper as a result of the i'm
mense amount of tourist traffic which
will be attracted over the road. Farm
ers along the route will also benefit
as will also those who live fifty miles
away, by reason of the fact that the
country as whole is made more ac.
cessible for automobile. There will
be any number of side trips taken tt
points off the highway which will
mean an added interest in Montan;
land as whole and additional conf
dence in the fertility of Montana soil
With this interest will come the in
vestment of outside money in real es
tate and other branches of business.
The schedule as arranged by Secre
tary L. E. Jones of the Montana di
vision of the Roosevelt highway fol
the film showings at various Mon.
tana points is as follows:
Wolf Point, Tuesday, May 1S.

"About all we care to say now," de-
clared Mr. Phillips, "is that it will be

but he could not say just at this time.
Mr.. Phillips said that the drilling

There are two carloads of casing here

ALFALFA GROWERS
SEE GOOD FUTURE
FOR THIS VALLEY

A. B. Lyman of Excelsior, Mimi,
known as the father of Grimm's al
falfa and who purchased tract of ir-
rigated land in the Milk river valley
near Glasgow early this spring, was
visitor in the city the past week
making arrangements for cropping
his farm. Mr.. Lyman is optimistic
over the future of the valley and says
there is no reason why this irrigation
district cannot accomplish what others
have in the way of raising alfalfa as
we'll as other crops.
George A. Line, well known seed
grower of Blackfoot, Idaho, with
ranches at Sterling and Springfield
in that state, came here to accom-
pany Mr.. Lyman to Minnesota. After
looking over the project, he informed
Courier representative that he was
greatly impressed with it's possibili-
ties. A few years, he declared, would
see the Milk river valley land selling

QUICK WORK SAVES
THOMPSON HOME IN
NASHUA FROM LOSS

A fire which started in the Glen
Thompson home in the rear of the
electric light plant on Tuesday of last
week was extinguished by the Nashua
fire department after persistent
struggle. The fire is thought to have
started from a kerosene stove.
Owing to the prevailing high wind
it was thought for time that the
building could not be saved. Only
hard work and judicial use of the
fire engine finally brought the fire
under control and saved the town from
disastrous fire. Had the Thompson
building burned, it is thought several

FIRE DESTROYS
GLENTANA SHOP

The Motor Inn at Glentana, owned
by Edward Stadig, was completely de-
stroyed by fire Tuesday afternoon of
this week. The fire originated from
an overheated exhaust pipe from a
stationary gasoline engine and when
discovered was beyond control. there
being no fire fighting apparatus at
Glentana. A terrific wind was blow
ing at the time which carried burning
brands to the home of Miss Cushing
in another section of the town, which
was also partially burned before the
flames were put under control. Mr..
Stadig's loss is approximately $11, 900
with about $4,000 insurance.
