CHANGES MADE
IN. LAND OFFICE
Reed and KirtOn, New Appointees, Are
Installed Monday and Welcomed
to Glasgow.

Glasgow welcomes this week, two
men of more than usual distinction,
in the persons of Frank S. Reed and
E. M. Kirton, the new appointees as
receiver and register respectively, of
the land office, who took charge last
Monday morning.
There is general satisfaction felt by
the regular Republicans of the district
over the appointment of these gentle
men, and the people of Glasgow gladly
welcome them each, into social and
business circles. They are both able
and experienced men who will make
splendid officers in this important de-
partment of government administra-
tion.
E. NJ. Kirton
Mr.. Kirton has been a resident of
Malta for several years, during most
of which time he has been connected
with Malta newspapers. He has been
active in politics as Republican and
is the father of Senator Kirton of
Phillips county. The Malta Enter
prise says of him:
"Mr. Kirton has been with the En-
terprise for the past. two years in the
capacity Of bookkeeper. He was with
the Malta Call for two years prior to
his acceptance of position with The
Enterprise. He was employed in the
Treasurer's Office before working for
the CALI
"Mr. Kirton has been in Malta the
past five or six years and during that
time he made many friends who wish
him success in his new enterprise. He
is conscientious worker and will
render the same unfailing service in
his new position that he did while ir
Malta"
Frank S. Reed
Mr.. Reed is we'll known to nearly
everyone in Glasgow, as one of the
cold timers" in this part of the state
having been a resident of Culbert
son, and editor and proprietor Of the
Searchlight for the past 20 years. HI
has always been conscientious editor
of the Republican faith, and his
steadfast course through many politi
cal storms, as well as his marked abil
ity have won him recognition. He is
being congratulated over his confir
nation, which was vigorously opposed
by politicians who did not recognize
his strength, which comprised the sup
port of the organization in all of thu
six counties c.. district trihntar!
to the land office. He will be care
full and painstaking officer.
He has moved his family compris

FURTHER NOTICE
IS UNNECESSARY
Post pOned Tax Sale Will Be Held BY
County Treasurer October First
for 1920 Taxes.

Business is picking up at the county
treasurer's office, due to the fact that
many are paying the delinquent taxes
for the year 1920. The office force
will be hard worked from now on un-
til after the last of November.
The position of the county officers
of Valley county is that the tax sale,
which will be held on Saturday, Oc-
tober 1st, for the taxes of 1920, has
already been advertised, AMI that the
act of legislature simply postponed
the date of sale and penalty; 9 that
while other other counties have re-
advertised, it has been at the expense
of the taxpayer and really ,unneces.
sary. Whatever the law is on the sub
ject, the lands upon which taxes are
delinquent for last year, will be sole

alties may be saved by paying up be.

Taxes for this year are due Novem-
ber 1st and delinquent after Novem-
ber 30th, at which time penalty at

sible for many to pay up promptly
this year and November will be busy

his assistants.

BOARDS ACTION
MUCH CRITICISED
Suspension of Prof. Fisher With Sal
ary Continuing Causes Much Un-
favorable Comment.

Helena, Sept. 18.-The action of the
state board of education today in the
Fisher case was the occasion of much
comment in Helena. Professor Fisher,
under the boards ruling, will draw his
salary for a year, or until his contract
expires, but will not spend his time at
the university. AS result of his ac-
tivities in uplift politics and contro-
versial economics he will enjoy a pen
sion for the coming year without Civ
ing the state his services.
1t is known that both Chancellor
Elliott and President Clapp Of the
university were opposed to this action
They are are understood to have fav.
ored employing Fisher on probation
The terms they suggested have obliged
Fisher to confine his activities to the
law school, where he was instructor
and to make his tenure solely depen
dent upon his loyalty to the univer.
sity. AS soon as he involved the uni
versity in politics or any form of par.
tisan procedure he was to be automat
ically fired.
The board did not seem to accept
the advise of Chancellor Elliott ant
Dr. Clapp in the matter

SCHOOLS PLAN
TO EARN MONEY
Supt. Williams Outlines Program To
Add Piano and Picture Machine
to Equipment.

Regarding school activities, Super
intendent Williams says:
conforming to the practice of the
past dozen years an ambitions and
aggressive program for earning money
with which to perfect the equipment
for instruction in the city schools will
be carried on this year. The new
equipment ordered consists of new
piano for the north side school and a
DeVry motion picture machine. The
new piano is necessary in order to
give the students attending school in
the north side building the same ad-
vantages as the students in the south
side. The orchestra work begun this
year in all grades makes this practi-
cally imperative.
"The investment in a motion picture
machine conforms to the practice in
practically all the high schools in
Montana. The value of the education
motion picture can be appreciated
when the agricultural extension work.
ers assert that IAN ounce of film is
worth ton of paper The university
of Montana is encouraging this new
activity on the part of the schools by

SATISFACTORY
TO EVERYBODY
Tourists Camp Has Proved Brilliantly
Successful-Suggestions for
Next Year.

Provision for washing clothes, a
mirror, and few other small details,
will complete the equipment of the
tourists camp to satisfy ALL according
to digest of suggestions of tourists,
made by Courier man after an ex-
animation of all of the cards filed by
visitors during the season.
The camp has made decided hit
and is complimented by all. Mr.. and
Mrs. C. H. Crittenden of 1nkster,
North Dakota, say that it is the best
"between Yellowstone Park and the
Twin Cities" Lawrence Marlence and
family of Pallyup, Washington, say
it is the best in "1100 miles of travel
There are many others of like import
Over one hundred cards have beer
filed, showing that on the usual aver,
age about 500 guests have been enter
tanned at the Park this season, the
park having been opened late in July.
The number of tourists entertained
this year is but an intimation of what
will come next year, when it is be
lieved times will be better. Next veal
people will also start with knowledg'
of the Roosevelt highway gained from
literature now being circulated; sucl
advertising has never been done be
fore, but from now will be done per
sistently. 1t is believed that as al
east and west road to the parks, tn
T. R. highway will soon be more pop
ular than any other, as it has the ia
north advantages that no others have
and will soon be better road throug
Montana than any other. 1t now ha
the most miles of improved highway G
any other transcontinental road.
Suggestions of tourists referred
will be needed in fixing up the cam
for next year. It's use this year
practically ended and the venture ha
proved very satisfactory to all COZ
cerned.

Storage of flood waters seems to
be the popular solution of the diff
culties as to the division of water be-
tween this country and Canada, ac-
cording to reports of the Chinook and
Lethbridge meetings of the Interna-
tional Boundary Commission. In re-
ports of these meetings the Great
Falls Tribune says in part:
Chinook, Sept. 16.-Give Canada
500 cubic feet of the flow of the St.
Mary river at the boundary line; give
Montana the total flow of the Milk
river at the boundary line plus enough
diverted from the St. Mary to bring
the flow to 500 cubic feet; construct a
reservoir in Glacier park to impound
125,000 acre feet of the flood waters
Of the lower St. Mary at a cost of
$500,000, the cost to be shared equally
by the Canadian and American federal
governments, and both American and
Canadian farmers under the various
irrigation projects within the drain
age areas of the st. Mary and the
Milk Rivers will have all Of the water
they need. This IS one plan which
the international joint commission car
ried away from Montana after the
hearing at Chinook Thursday, in an
effort to arrive at settlement of the
dispute over the division of the waters
of the two streams between the United
States and Canada.
This was not the only plan suggest.
ed, but it was the one upon which
Governor Joseph M. Dixon of Montana
placed his finder as the most equitabl.
and the most practicable, from among
the maze of suggestions submitted t.
the members of the commission. Tn,
possibility of such solution was frs
mentioned during an informal confer
ence between Governor Dixon an,
Charles Magrath, chairman of the Ca
madam section of the internationa
commission prior to the hearing.
Is Given Consideration.

LODGE STARTED
Eighty-four Members Join Glasgow
Lodge-Third of Order in the
State.

The third White Shrine lodge in the
state was organized at Glasgow last
Wednesday night with "a members.
The territory of the new lodge from
east to west is from Minot to Chinook.
The lodge organization was preced-
ed by a sumptous banquet at the
Baptist church in charge Of Mrs. John
Sierts. This was very complete af-
fair and the tastily decorated room
and well appointed tables made it a
function long to be remembered. There
were toasts with responses by local
speakers, Mrs. Walter Hurd, very ef-
ficiently filling the position of toast
mistress.
The succeeding initiation and in
stallatoin ceremonies were at the Ma
sonic hall and in charge of Mrs. Mamie
eagle of Great Falls, deputy grand Of
ficer assisted by Mrs. Finn and w
M. eagle of Great Falls.
Those attending who became mem
bers are enthusiastic about the work
,, and character of the order. Many
visitors were present from neighbor-
ing towns. The order like the Mystic
Shrine can only be joined by Masons
and is spoken of as religious in char
acter. The following are elected and
installed as officers.

Diary and then make the equal division
provided in article six of the treaty
on the basis of the impounded waters,
instead of on the basis of stream
flow"
A reservoir as outlined by Govern
or Dixon would provide water for and
benefit more than 25O,000 acres in
each country.
Private Session Also Held.
AS if summarizing the hearings of
the commission, Charles A. Magrath
chairman of the Canadian section and
presiding officer at Saturdays sitting
said:
81 think we have reached point in
these deliberations where, if we fail
to arrive at satisfactory solution
very soon, we will have to send the
treaty to the governments which wrote
it for their interpretation"
These were the concluding words OF
the chairman before the adjournment
of the session in the court house here
and showed that the commissioners
were earnestly endeavoring to arrive
at a decision on section six of the
treaty of 1909. A private session OF
the commissioners was held later /!
the afternoon to consider the evidence
1t is thought that this will expedite th'
writing of a decision of the two
streams under discussion.
Not So DemOnstratiye.
Voicing further the feelings of th'
commissions, Chairman Magrath wen
on to say during the hearing:
eve are trying very hard and hav'
been for a long time to arrive at
conclusion. We realize that if thi
commission is to continue to carry ou
the purposes for which it was created
we must arrive at a satisfactory solu
ton of the problems brought befor
it. and with that realization in min'
we are doing our very best in thi
case, which has developed some knott,
problems"
A Canadian speaker in closing hi
; remarks said: eve were very muc

exhibit ever seen," is the verdict of
local people who attended the state
fair. While bad weather interferred
with the attendance and the amuse-
ment program, the other exhibits re-
ceived more attention than usual, and
Fred Weigel who had the Valley coun-
ty exhibit in charge, says that all
the comment that he heard, which
ranged from that Of experts to that
of carnival people, was the same, and
all said the show of farm produce was
the greatest ever got together from
single state.
Valley county had some of the choic-
est stuff shown; the reason that it
did not get more and higher prizes,
was that it could not compete with
counties like Gallatin and others which
had spent thousands of dollars in the
preparation of their exhibits. Valley
county could afford only the small
amount Of $500.00 for preparing and
exhibiting it's showings, which only
permitted stuff to be exhibited in the
rough, compared with the finished
and artistic exhibitions of the others.
At that, the inndubitable evidence of
photograph of the Valley county
exhibit, brought home by Mr.. Weigel,
shows that the county had showing
to be proud of, and the many who saw
it were convinced that it's valley and
benches are among the garden spots
of the great treasure state.
The list of prize winners from the
county shows that it gained more than
empty honors. Among others are
noted:
Valley county took fifth in the COM
petition for the best exhibit of thresh-
ed and sheaf grain.
Seventh for the best display and
arrangement; and seventh for the best
and largest display of vegetables.

of the commission aboard the special
car of the latter, it was given further
consideration as being the most prac-
ticable plan for the solution of the old
controversy which has been hanging
fire for years. True, it would require
APPROVAL of both federal governments,
but there seemed no doubt upon the
representatives of either side but that
such approval could be readily secured.
The engineers reports in the possess
sion of the commission indicate that
the reservoir discussed for the i'm
pounding of the flood waters of the
St. Mary is eminently practicable, and
furthermore that it would supply in
reality more water than the present
ditch capacity on either side of the
line which is, in Canada, 1000 cubic
feet, and in Montana 800.
