there are doubtless many others who

City Will Save Coal BY Relying On

After August first the curfew will

is that during the next couple Of
months there will be no steam at the
city power and light plant.
When asked regarding the matter
City Manager Mitchell said, "by cut
ting out the steam at this time of the
year the city saves, in coal from $15
to $40 per day, and in the present con-
dition of the city finances, this is
something that the council cannot ov-
erlook, as it amounts to very sub
stantial saving. People can easily get
along without the whistles and l
think this is the only inconvenience
that will result"
Mr.. Mitchell also said that the light,
water, power, etc, would be taken
care of by the Deissel oil burner, and
that it would be well enough for citi-
zens to have candles or other lights
handy, as it was barely possible that

Pool VIII Be
a Factor in Life Saving

Claude Hague, age 13, had very
narrow escape from drowning, in the
Milk River, while bathing last
Thursday afternoon. That he did not
drown, is due to the presence of mind
of his boy companions, Stanley ka-
linski, and Earl Rudberg, both of
them about Hague's age, who at the
risk of their own lives bravely res
cued him.
The incident is only one of the many
similar ones which occur annually, to
bathers in the river, at Glasgow.
Some day, perhaps tomorrow, near
drowning may not end 50 happily.
Every river, lake and ponnd in the
nation, takes it's yearly toll of lives
most of them of the young-the low
ed sons and daughters of proud par
ents. Perhaps it will be the child
of a doting Glasgow parent, who will
be next sacrificed; the lure to the
young is there, the cool water calls
on the hot summer days, grim death
drags them under and that is It's end.
In many, in most cases, in Glasgow
nothing has been done to guard these
precious young lives. Let it be borne
in mind that the young folks are not
to blame. Who is to blame?

CORN COUNTRY
mmissiOner Davis Has Confidence
In Future of the Country
Praises Crops.

On his return to Helena from his
recent visit to Glasgow, Commission
er Chester C. Davis said, in an in
terview with the Independent:
"There is a great future for corn
in sections Of Montana east of the
Rocky Mountains" Mr.. Davis said.
GAS rule, a bad wheat year is a
good corn year and, likewise, good
wheat year is also good corn year.
Corn comes nearer being a depend
able forage crop than any other.
On dry land low levels corn will even
beat the sunflower crop.
Horses Coming Back.
"There are wonderful crops in
Valley county. In fact, the crops
are in good condition all along the
high line east of Havre, and are good
in spots west of Havre. l was ex-
tremely pleased to see that the horses
have come back. At the farm bureau
meeting at Glasgow, farmers came
from thirty miles around and over
half of them travelled with horses

some distance along the road going
to the meeting and we met four OF
five teams to one automobile.
Good Dry-Land Corn.
"The acreage in that section is
about 35 per cent less than the high
level of 1918. The farmers up there
are feeling very optimisticc over the
crop outlook and are only anxious
about the freight rate situation. The

GASOLINE PRICE
IS CONDEMNED
Rates In Montana "IntOlerable" Ac-
cOrding to Railroad Commits
siOn-Relief Asked.

Helena, July 14.-Branding gaso-
line prices in Montana as "intol-
able" the state railroad commission
Thursday formally requested the Fed
eral Trade Commission to make a
thorough investigation of prices and Of
the competitive situation here. The
state board urges that immediate ac-
tion be taken.
Statistics gathered in probe which
has been in progress two weeks are
submitted by the state board with its
request to the federal body. Gasoline
in Montana cities is sold at from 2S
cents to 33 cents per gallon. The
charge is made by the state board that
in competitive fields, gasoline is re
tailed at II cents to 19 cents.
Reference is made in the states
request to the decreases in Montana
crude petroleum prices without cor
responding drops in the manufactured
prices. In the Cat Creek field, the
commission says, the price of crude
oil was originally placed at So bar
rel. 1t has been reduced gradually
until 81 barrel is now the base
price.
The Cat Creek oil, the commission
asserts, carries very high gasoline
content. 1t is refined just over the
Montana state line in Wyoming anC
shipped back here for sale at the
prices to which objection is made
while in other places where Texas anc
Oklahoma competition is met, it is al
legged, the price is set at smaller
figure.

Within the last two years there
have been six narrow escapes from
drowning while bathing in the river.
If from any other cause, so many of
our citizens had been near violent
death, something would have been
done about it. The only way to con-
troll the present situation, would be
by life guards continually on duty,
and this would be only partially eff
fective.
The movement launched by the fire
men, and now being agitated by 9TH
ers, for swimming pool at the Tour
lists park for public use, seems very
feasible and appeals at this time to
many as the one and only plan, which
accomplished, will save the lives of
the young and be healthful and at
ftractive adjunct to community life,
and which under the circumstances
should be carried through at once
In a somewhat haphazard canvass of
citizens, we have found no objection
to the general plan; there are many
who express doubt as to whether it
can be financed and this subject is the
one which should receive the first at
tention.
The pool should be well constructed

TO MAKE A GLAS-
Cow HOLIDAY"
Poplar Butchered In Merry Game
That Showed Little Ball But
Much Fun. 49,.

The ball orchard was well filled,
with the best audience of the sea-
son, at the Poplar Glasgow game last
Sunday. The Glasgow crowd was
tickled pink, and the Poplar bunch
sadder than the last reel of Romeo
and Juliet, over the election returns
which showed twenty odd to zero in
favor of the natives sons.
The gathered fans had expected to
see some base ball, but the vaudeville
which was presented in the contin-
uous nine reels, was highly appreciat-
ed and most pleasant time was had
by all.
Poplar's gloom dispeller's, are the
goods-the ball players stayed at
home. There was no time during the
comedy when the visitors showed that
they were in the same class with the
Glasgow bunch. and at that, the home
boys were in the depths of a dismal
slump.
AS the Glasgow boys, one after an
other, swatted the pill and circled
around the pillows tired business men
felt rested, but when Detchman swat
ted the cherry out through the gate
and over the garden wall, for three
hagger, fair women wept and strong
men moaned to witness the ruthless
nes of the hard hearted treatment of
the harmless strangers within our
gates. Some good double plays also
evoked loud groans.
When the eighth can:o was reach
ed, Bardell and Hurry got heart fail
ure, and seasickness, and revolted at
continuing the massacre; some back
numbers were called in, and Hooking
went onto the hillock and Watson be-
hind the stick. 1t was no use, Hook
ing filled the paths and then helped
the merry game of tag that downed
the fatal two necessary to end the
verse.
1t was not much of ball game.

His talk was easily understandable
and appealed to the ordinary, business
sense of those who heard him, in a
way which convinced them that Gov
ernor Dixon had made no mistake in
the choice of the State Commissioner
of Agriculture. After outlining the
organization of his department under
the new law creating it, Mr.. Davis
said in part:
Tribute to Pioneers.
"MOntana is anxious to honor the
pioneers, who over fifty years ago,
opened up this country to a develop
ment that gave homes to thousands of
people from other states. The man,
who in 1865, loaded his household
goods into a prairie schooner and
came overland to make his home with
his family in some of the mountain
valleys of the new territory, had a
measure of determination and daring
that has come to be associated with
the term, pioneer. He built his home
under hardships and under discourage
ments' but in the main success crowned
his earlier efforts. He added to his
original land claims and in many
cases saw his family settled about
him in considerable community. We
have a new type of pioneer in Mon
tana developed out OF the experiences
of the last five years. Let US say that
the grandson OF the Montana pioneer
of 1865 cut away from home ties and
with his wife set out to build home
in newer territories of Montana which
have been opened up within the last
few wears. Possibly for the first year
or two, he harvested big crops. He
invested in more land. War came and
he bent his every effort to increasing
his wheat acreage that the world
might win. His crop failed. Again
under the wartime urge, he strained
his resource for a big acreage of
wheat and met failure again. In the
| face of successive discouragements
running over four and five years with
ont relief he has stuck to his lob
with a degree ot courage that is un-
surpassed anywhere in the history of
| the world The pioneer Of 1865 is
no more admirable and made no great
er contribution 70 the growth of the

today was not one that puzzled the
