CITY DADS HAVE
CLEANUP BUG
improvements Near Water and Power
Plant Add Much to Appearances
of Little Park.

The cleanup and improvement bug
has got the city authorities in viru-
lent form, if we are to judge by what
they are doing in improvements at
the Light Power and Water plant.
If the designs are carried out, that
seem to have been started, the sur
roundings there will form one of
the most beautiful spots in the city.
The lawn has taken hold vigorously,
and now present a very velvety and
uniform surface of pretty green. The
shade trees that have been planted
are doing well and large number of
flower seeds have been sown, and
plants transplanted to beds near the
buildings. 1t will not be long before
the little park will be splendid place
in which to pass an hour during the
hot summer days; it is now very pleas
ing to the eye and can be proudly
shown as real step towards the fu-
ture Glasgow-a beautiful city. Much
of what has been accomplished is due
to the energy and good taste of Sup
erintendent Hughes, in charge of the
plant.
Besides overhauling the boilers the
city is also repairing the water main
on Sixth street north, for about 1900
feet from third avenue north.

|NUISANCES MUST BE ABATEp

Movement Takes FOrm-City Will As
sist in Every Way-Ordinances
Enforced.

1t costs more to be dirty than to
keep clean. Consider the toll of dis
ease, fire and depreciation, through
fifth, disorder and neglect. Dust and
Crime are said to be responsible for
more than so per cent of the wear and
tear on clothing and house furnish
ings.
1t is not surprising, then, that the
people of America have been thor
oughly aroused to the necessity for
community cleanliness. When the Ma
tional Clean Up and Pain Up Bureau
first sounded the call to arms on Nav
l, 1912, there was an almost instant
response.
Today more than 1000 cities and
towns with probable average of 900
volunteer workers, or total of 7,OOO,-
900 men, women and children, are
working together for a common cause
ITO make this community as clean
as it's cleanest home"
This is but the power of an idea
multiplied by the multitude. 1t is the
mass idea extended and heightened.
1t is cooperation in its highest de-
velopment, and its visible results rep
resent the finest and most practical
KIND OF altrulSm.
In Glasgow City Manager Mitchell
has his organization for an efficient
campaign, about complete. He has
enlisted the services of the fire de-
partment, and the city street depart
ment, and the city offices will keep
in touch with the situation from day
to day and render every assistance
possible to individuals or organiza-
tions. The organizations that have
promised aid are the Boy Scouts, The
Women's clubs, and all of the
schools, this work will be voluntary
and will be directed by each organi-
zation as desired. AS stated the city
will help in any way, with advise as
to when to work and what to do, or
with city wagons, etc. Individuals are
expected and required to clean up all
around their premises as defined by
the ordinances OF the orders of the
fire or health officers. Mr.. Mitchell
says this is no joke, but is city clean
up in real earnest, and there seems
no doubt that all of the people will
join the movement in earnest.
There will be an inspection after
the week is over and delinquents will
be handled without gloves in the en-
forcement of the city ordinances and
the state law

DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION
TO WORK ON FREIGHT RATE

Consumer, business man and farm
er alike in Montana are suffering at
the present time from the unfortun-
ate freight rate situation. Since the
last raise in freight rates, Montana,
far removed from the markets has
been surrounded by an insurmount-
able barrier. Thousands of tons of
products of many kinds are wasting
now within the boundaries of the state
because they could not be shipped to
market on the basis of the present
freight rates. This problem has en-
gagged the attention of the directors
of the Montana Development Associa-
tion and they decided after thor
ough discussion of the situation to es-
tablish at the general office a traffic
bureau, which will begin in modest
way with an auditor and rate expert
who will assist business in the audit
ing of their freight bills, and study
the Montana situation with view to
looking after the states interests as
readjustmentments in freight rates
can be brought about.

GLASGOW GOVERNMENT
CHANGES ii"'S OFFICERS
MAYOR OTTO M. CHRISTINSON
INSTALLED; MATT MURRAY
RETIRES AFTER RESOLUTION
OF THANKS BY COUNCIL AND
PRESENT FROM EMPLOYEES.

The city government of Glasgow
changed hands last Monday evening.
Both the old and new councils met,
did business, exchanged courtesies and
effected the transfer, with the ut
most good feeling and with no other
purpose apparent than the present
and future we'll being of the city.
The old council with Mayor Murray
presiding, met promptly at eight
o'clock, and at once cleaned up the
routine business of the session. Mat
ters of public interest were, the opin-
ion unanimously expressed that the
town had better buy the tractor re-
Gently used in dragging the streets,
a matter that will probably be con-
Cured in and acted on by the new
council. The cleanup campaign was
endorsed, and instructions issued to
the fire marshal, and health officer,
to enforce the ordinances, especially
with respect to stables on down town
alleys, and as to vacant, dangerous
and condemned buildings, on the prin-
cipal streets; condemned buildings are
to be removed even if the state au-
thorities have to be called in.
The affairs of the old council be-
ing transacted the new Mayor Otto
M. Christinson and Alderman Harry
Magruder, duly took the oath of Of
flee and were declared installed. A
resolution was passed thanking the
retiring Mayor Matt Murray, for his
efficient service to the city, for which
he thanked the council and tried to
side-step a speech, by saying that
he admitted they had all done
pretty we'll for mayor and council
who had run the city without money
But the speech had to come, for at
this point in the proceedings, City
Clerk Mitchell arose and in a neat
little talk presented, the retiring
mayor with a very large and hand
some ring, on behalf of the employees
of the city. Mayor Murray's ideas of
quietly slipping out of office, and into
obscurity were frustrated; he blush
ed very handsomely and at the re-
peated demands for speech, made a
few very feeling and touching re-
marks, which expressed his apprecia-
tion; he was deeply moved by this sig
nal mark of popularity, and of the re-
gard with which he was held by those
with whom he had been intimately as
sociated, for the last two trying terms
of the city's history. He came out
of the little ordeal with dignity and
his career as mayor closed very hap
PLY. He has left record that is a
bright page in the city's history, and
every citizen wishes him we'll.
The ring is one of which any person
might be proud, made of pure gold,
and bearing the insignia of the Scot
tish rite Masons. 1t will be one of
Mr.. Murray's most sacred treasures
The new council will have a called
meeting before the next regular meet
ing and complete it's organization and
commence business.
This special meeting of the council
will be held tonight.

CUTWORM SOURCE
OF INVESTIGATION

Bozeman, Mont, May I'm an in
vestigation into the work of the pale
western cutworm in Montana, Entom-
ologist R. A. Cooley of Montana State
college has found cause to believe that
some of the so called "winter killing
of wheat in recent years has in reality
been the work of this species of cut
worm. At present no means of con-
trolling this one species of cutworm
has been found.
Farmers sending in specimens of
cutworms for Identification without
exception send in the common types
of cutworms, which may be controlled.
The common cutworm is about one
inch in length, while the pale western
cutworm is only about one-eighth to
one-fourth of an inch in length and
easily overlooked in the field.
