Radiophone Messages
Received in Glasgow

1t may sound unreasonable and even
impossible to some, but it is never
theless fact that a musical program
rendered in the city of Denver, was
plainly heard in the city of Glasgow
Tuesday evening of this week, over
the radiOphone equipment recently ad.
ded by the local wireless station
To sit in your apartments and hear
the strains of "Let the Rest of the
World Go By" played on a phono-
graph 800 miles distant, sounds little
beyond reason. Yet this was the act
ual experience of Mr.. E. L. Wharton
of Glasgow this week.
Mr.. Wharton. who is responsible for
the remarkable development of radio
work in this city, has been spending
much of his time of late in the i'm
provement of his radio station here;
and today, it is stated that the Glas-
gov station is perhaps the best and
most successful in the northwest.
Some few weeks ago the station
was moved to the edge of the city
and since this change. much better re-
suits have been obtained in wireless
telephone and telegraph work. Glas-
gov is now regularly and with ease
communicating with Portland, Seattle,
Salt Lake City, Denver, St. Louis,
Omaha, Lincoln, Topeka. Kansas City,
ST. Paul and other stations within a
radius of 1,4O0 miles. And. messages
are sent and received from and to this
city and all points in the United States
by connection with a national radio
association known as the american
Radio Relay League" This is abso-
lutely free of charge, and "a very
prompt service is given by means Of
a system of relaying the messages
from one large station to another. A

CHAS, D. GREENFIELD
ACCEPTS OFFER OF G. N.
Former Commissioner of Agriculture
Will Have Complete Charge of
Agricultural Department
of Great Northern.

In conformity with it's polity for the
agricultural development of the coun-
try tributary to it's lines the Great
Northern railway has appointed Chas.
D. Greenfield agricultural development
agent for the state of Montana. Mr..
Greenfield, for four years, has been
commissioner of agriculture for the
state of Montana. In his new posi-
ton he will work under the direction
of E. c. Leedy, general supervisor of
agriculture for the Great Northern
railway. Mr.. Greenfield will cooper
ate with the Montana State Agricul-
tural college. county agents, banks,
commercial clubs and the farmers in
the upbuilding of agriculture in Mon
tana.
AS state agricultural commissioner
he had exceptional opportunity to
study the needs of Montana, whose
than at any time in it's history. Mr..
Greenfield has been resident of Mon
tana thirty years, large part of
which time he was engaged in news
paper work, through which connection
he gained an extensive acquaintance
with Montana, it's conditions and peo-
pie.
The United States government re-
clamation projects along the line Of
the Great Northern railway in Mon
tana offer particularly attractive in
ducements for those who desire to
farm under irrigated conditions. Mr..
Greenfield declares, while those who
prefer to farm under rnon-irrigated
conditions, combined with diversified
farming, have most extensive section
from which to choose for their future
homes. he says. The Great Northern
railway is particularly interested in
encouraging farmers along it's line to
engage in diversified farming.

proved an average of one hour and
eight minutes for the round trip from
coast to coast on a message of ten
words.
The wireless telegraph is now an
established success throughout the en-
tire continent. Recent developments
in radiophone communication have
brought the amateur wireless tele-
phone up to the present commercial
standard.
Mr. Wharton has been receiving
radio speech for some time past, but
until Tuesday of this week he had
never heard radio music being trans
mitted. While explaining and demon
stratlng wireless quipment the other
evening he discovered some strange
sounds were heard and upon investi-
cation, he was greatly surprised to
hear the words and music of "Let the
Rest of the World Go By" after which
voice announced that the music was
being played on monograph at
Denver, Colorado. After immediate
communication with Denver this was
confirmed, and a regular program is
being worked out.
Mr.. Wharton states that anyone who
from Missouri" may take the treat
ment by request. He will gladly dem
onstrate the equipment and explain
its working to anyone interested in
the art. The latest plan is that a
radiophone dance be held with music
furnished from a station located hun
dreds of miles distant.
1t is well to note that public speak
ers are taking advantage of the radio
phone to reach thousands of ears; and
in fact, our president-elect, Mr.. Hard
ing, will broadcast his inaugural ad-
dress throughout the continent by
means of this new and wonderful
means of communication.

timely brief talks by different mem
hers of the local business and profess

Williams gave brief address on the
work of the teachers of the state, and
their attitude toward TOPICS of tax
alton and such at this time. In his

the other teachers of the state favored
very much the nroposed constitutional
convention for Montana.
Good Roads.
County Surveyor Mann. who was
called upon to enlighten the club rel
ative to proposed road work by the
county during the year 1921, was the
target for a deluge of questions on
road matters. The most important
discussion brought forth resultant
from Mr.. Mann's talk was the road
leading from Jordan north to the Mis-
souri, river and thence to Glasgow.

CAPITOL IS SCENE
OF HANDBOOK RAID
Arrest, Considered important
in Crusade, Expected to
Bring Disclosures.

Commissioner Oysters "hying de-
tective squadron" last night made an
other handbook arrest, which. it was
said today at police headquarters. will
bring startling disclosures of hand
booking operations in the United
States Capitol. The police have been
working on the Capitol situation for
weeks and have large number of
names, it is stated. which will be
turned ever to the sraad jury.
Detectives Thomas Sweeney and
William Messer. composing the hand
book squad. assigned by Officers
Thomas Nalley and Charles Wise OF
the NTH police precinct took into
custody shortly before midnight last
night, Walter Wade Davis of $50 Ho-
bart street northwest. who is alleged
to have operated handbook in the
Capitol. The o ficars Say they have
evidence indicafin. :. at certain men,
bers of the Capitol police force have
acted AS Davis agents.
The arrest. which was Ieported per-
sonally to Commissioner Oyster this
morning by Sweeney and Messer. was
characterized as one of the most i'm
portant that has been made in the
handbook crusade.
Investigation of the Capitol situa-
ticn has been an exhaustive one. it is
said. covering many angles of the al
legged handbooking operations there.
The detectives say they have so much
evidence concerning the activities of
the Capitol employees who will be
summoned before the grand jury that
full disclosure Of alleged gambling
in the Capitol is certain to result.
