AS result of this concerted move

ment of highways, according to accred-
tied reports.
This includes funds brought for

not completed, in 1919, funds avail
able from state and county taxes, and
from aid offered by the federal gov
ernment, one-fifth of the state and
county bond issues not before avail
able, one-third of the unexpended bal
ance of state and county bond issues
previously available, and funds avail
able from new bond issues to be vot-
ed on early this spring. This does
not include the funds and work which
will be contributed by townships and

GLASGOW TO INSTALL
A NEW SEWAGE PUMP

Geo. E. Mcclure of the Empire Con-
struction company of Great Falls met
with the city council Wednesday eve
ming regarding the installation of a
new motor at the central sewerage
pumping station. The Empire peo-
pie had the original contract for the
pumping station and part of the sew
erage system and installed a motor
at the pumping plant at that time.
This motor burned out last spring
before the contract was accepted by
the city. The new motor will be in
stalled within the next three or four
weeks and will complete the contract
on the part of the Empire Construc-
tion company.
The pumping station is an important
feature of the sewerage system and
is used during high water seasons.
The plant is located on the east end
of Second avenue south near the riv-
er. When the river becomes high,
particularly in the spring of the year,
the flood gates are closed and the
pump set to work. In this way the
sewage is forced into the river, at
the same time eliminating the old
trouble with backwater and sewage
which has caused many an uncomfort-
able situation in the past.

DOES GLASGOW WANT
A NATIONAL GUARD unit?
Capt. J. L. Tucker Here Wednesday
Trying to Reorganize Glasgow
Guard Company.

Capt. j. L. Tucker, federal disburs-
ing officer and c,rertermaster fol
Montana, with headquarters in Hell
ena, spent Wednesday of this week
in Glasgow in conference with ex-ser-
vice men and others interested in or
ganizing a company of national
guardsmen.
Under the new regulations, a COM
pany must consist of at least 100 men
of which number 40 ex-service men
may enlist for one year, 20 recruits
may enlist for one year, and the other
40 must enlist for three years. Drills
will be held once each week, the pri-
Yates receiving 81 for each drill per-
iod. The captain will receive $500 a
year, first lieutenants S24O and second
lieutenants 5000. Noncommissioned
officers will be paid correspondingly
higher than privates for drilling. Each
company will be allowed $500 a year
from the government for rental of
drill quarters and other expenses. Of
ficers will be allowed $35 year for
uniforms.
Capt. Tucker is now engaged in
forming the first Montana battalion
around which two regiments will be
built. Plans are under way for an
encampmept at Camp Lewis next sum-
mer, and for entering a team in the
army craftsmanship contest to be held
this year probably at Jacksonville,
Fla. Those attending the encamp-
ment will receive regular army pay
for that PERIOD and the shooting team
will receive expenses and army pay
while on the trip.
Glasgow ought to have a company.
Talk it up among your friends. If
sufficient number express desire to
meeting will be called in
the very near futre.

]. A. GRISSOM DIES
IN new YORK CITY
Enterprising Young Business Man of
Glasgow Dies of Pneumonia in
New York.

On Saturday Of last week word was
received in Glasgow of the death of
j. A. Grissom in a New York hos
pital, as a result of pneumonia. AL
though information had reached the
city of his serious illness, the report
of his demise on Friday night came
as shock to his many friends here.
Mrs. Grissom had left Glasgow Thurs
day morning for New York in response
to telegram from his doctors and
it is assumed that she had reached
Chicago when his death occurred.
Mr.. Grissom left here January 9Th
on buying trip to eastern CONNER
cial centers. He had spent a few days
in Minneapolis and St. Louis and had
visited two days with his mother and
brother in Carthage, Mo. Upon his
arrival in New York on Thursday his
condition was SO alarming that he
was Immediately taken to a hospital.
Pneumonia developed and his condi-
tion became so serious that no hope
was entertained for his recovery, his
death occurring on Friday, eight days
later.
j. Allen Grissom was born in Car
thage, Mo-, in the spring of 1883, be-
ing nearly 81 years old at the time
of his death. His boyhood and school
days were spent in Carthage. In the
summer of 1913 he came to Glendive,
Montana, where he resided for about
six months while seeking a location.
In September of the same year he
moved to this city and started the
Golden Rule store. The enterprise
was successful from the beginning
He acquired interests IN stores of the
same name in Havre and Wolf Point,
became vice president of the Milk Riv-
er Valley bank of Glasgow and pur-
chased a farm in the Galpin district.
He was elected director of the Glas-
gov chamber of commerce and was as
sociated with every progressive move
ment initiated for the public good.
He is survived by his wife, his moth
er who lives in Carthage, Mo-, and two
brothers, one residing at Carthage,
and the other at Rochester, MINI.
The funeral took place at Carthage,
Mo-, yesterday at 80 p. m. During
the funeral the Glasgow stores and
business places were closed.
The heart of Glasgow goes out to
the wife, mother, brothers and rela-
tives of j. A. Grissom who are suffer-
ing the first awful shock of the sud-
den death of their loved one. A few
dyas ago he was among US, healthy,
cheerful and ready with kind deeds
and helping hand; now he has passed
from the mystery that is life to the
greater mystery that we call death.
The ways of destiny, the will of
God-these are beyond our understand
ing.
