Editors Meet Is Strictly
A Treasure State Affair

Missoula, Dec. 14.-The National
Editorial association will be strictly
a Montana affair next summer, a tel
egram having been sent out yesterday
afternoon calling off all outside dates
for the sessions.
Decision for this action was reached
late yesterday afternoon by Execu-
tive Secretary H. C. Hotaling of St.
Paul, who has been here for the past
week in conference with officials of
the chamber of commerce and busi-
ness men of the city. He declared
last night it was his belief that to
divide the time between Montana and
Utah, as had first been decided, neith-
er state would be satisfied because of
the necessity to hurry from one place
to another.
Finding the backing for the con-
vention in Montana so strong, Mr..
Hotaling said, he telegraphed to
Salt Lake City, where part of the
business sessions of the association
were to have been held, cancelling
the dates set for there originally. All
the business meetings will be con-
Quoted in Missoula, where three days
OF the II to be spent in the state will
be passed.
Announcement of the change in the
program was made last night at a |
banquet given in honor of visiting

rs cent corn raised on 5000 to s4OO ar
acre land? Because of the drouth in
Montana, there was no initiation of
land values in the state during the
period of high prices. As a matter
OF fact, there was a decided shrink
age in values.
Montana is on a bedrock founda-
tion. Values are lower today than
they will ever be again, and it is to
this state that the farmers on the
high priced lands of the middle west
are looking. This new land move
ment will be of a different nature
from the first land movement. That
was a movement, principally of spec
ulators, to get free land and make a
stake on its enhanced value; this COM
ing one will be a movement of real
farmers who desire to better their
economic condition. 1t will be move
ment OF men who realize that only
through crop and livestock diversifi-
cation can safe living be insured.
These new men will likely raise grain,
but they will also milk cows, keep
chickens, farm flock of sheep, and
have some income flowing in the year
round.

VETERANS JEWEL Sent TO
BROTHER CHARLES MASON
Appreciation Shown by Presenting
Local Odd Fellows Lodge With
Two Lodge Gavels.

On February 26, 1894, Glasgow
Lodge, No. 81, Independent Order of
Odd Fellows, was duly instituted. On
February 1st, 1895, Charles Mason, a
fireman on the Great Northern Rail
way, residing at Glasgow, was initi-
ated into the Lodge. Sometime dur
ing the year 1895 Charles Mason left
for Alaska and the lodge has, at vari
GUS times, received from him letters
and he has kept up his dues and has
never been suspended from member
ship of this lodge, so that on Febru-
ary 1, 1920, Charles Mason has been
a member of the ladge for twenty
five years.
The Odd Fellows have rule that
when a member has been in good
standing for twenty-five years he is
entitled to Veterans Jewel. Not
many months after Charles Mason
had been member of the lodge for
twenty-five years, the lodge sent him
the Veterans Jewel. He now resides
at Nome, Alaska. On the 7th of this
month, Glasgow Lodge received a
communication from Brother Charles
Mason, and with it, two Lodge Gavels,
made by the natives out of Alaska
Seal Ivory. The one gavel bears the
name and number of the lodge and
the other has carved cameo of
polar bears head on one face of the
gavel. These gavels were given to the
lodge by Brother Charles Mason in
appreciation of the fact of receiving
the Veterans Jewel from the lodge.
The lodge is having carved one one
face of the gavel the name of the
donor, and the date of his initiation
into the lodge. This engraving is be-
ing done by c. E. Behner, jeweler, and
the gavels are on display in his show
window at his place of business in the
First National bank building.

ILLEGAL HUNTING ALONG

Daddy" Minugh returned to this

Missouri river as far as Nashua and
while IN the country of the Indians

the foundation it had. Mr.. Minugh
had hunch that there was some il
legal shooting being done along the
Missouri river in the neighborhood of
Nashua and started the first of last
week to run it down. When he ar
rived at Nashua he found the shooting
to be across the river and started
across. When about two thirds of the

SACO WOMAN L;;:sS ~
LONG SUFFERING
Ends Life BY Throwing Herself Be-
fore Great Northern Train No. 1
At $3.50 Saturday Morning.

People assembled at the Great
Northern station last Saturday morn
ing waiting for the arrival of train
number one witnessed tragic sight
when Mrs. Ross C. Shirar, of Saco,
committed suicide by throwing her.
self on the rails before the train as
it was approaching the station at a
speed of about fifteen miles an hour,
the scene of the tragedy being about
400 feet east of the station, accord
ing to the engineers report. The en-
gineer further stated that he first
saw her when the train was between
the oil tanks and the station; that
she was walking between the rails
and that he whistled the approach of
the train, she turning to look but
making no attempt to leave the tracks
He again blew his whistle and when
only short distance from her she
threw herself onto the rails allowing
the train to pass over her, leaving
her body in terribly mangled con-
dition, it being impossible for him to
stop the train in time to avoid strik-
ing her.
It is believed that the terrible
suffering from burns received nine
months ago at her home in Saco was
the cause of her rash act. Mrs. Shi-
rar had gotten up at o'clock in the
morning to warm milk for her baby.
Finding the stove needed filling she
put on sweater and went outside
to get the gasoline can, and while
filling the tank on the stove spilled
some of the gasoline on her sweater
sleeve. Reaching for match she
passed her arm over lighted lamp
which ignited the gasoline and caused
her clothing to burst into flames. She
suffered terrible burns, and before
coming to the Glasgow hospital re-
manned for several weeks at Saco.
Operations were performed and much
was done to comfort her during her
long stay at the hospital. Last fall,
after she had somewhat recovered, she
was allowed to go to her home where
she attempted suicide resulting in
her return to the hospital. Only re-
Gently had she been allowed to walk
around alone and it was only a day
or two before her death that she
surveyed the tracks and inquired re-
garding train schedules.
During her illness her father and
sister had been here to visit and
stayed for some time returning east
to their home at Plymouth, Indiana,
expecting that Mr.. and Mrs. Shirar
would follow as soon as possible.
Mrs. Shirar, who was 20 years old
at the time of her death, leaves a
husband, who has been clerk at the
Cooperative store at Saco, and
three children, two of whom are with !
Mr. Shirar's parents at St. Paul,
Minnesota, the other one is with her
people at Plymouth, Indiana.
No funeral services were held here
the body being shipped to Plymouth.
Indiana, for burial, Monday morning
on train number two.
The same crew that ran on number
one through here Saturday morning
was on number two Monday morning,
the train on which the body was
shipped.
