BEAUTIES OF MONTANA
DESCRIBED BY LEAVIHT
President of Park-tO-Park Highway
Thrills Large Audience With
TravelOgue on Parks.

It is generally conceded that there
is no more beautiful scenery in the
world than that to be found in our
own United States, especially in the
western part, where certain spots of
unusual and imposing grandeur have
been set apart by the government and
are known as our National Parks.
There is probably no person today
who is more familiar with the scenic
wonders of these parks or who has
done so much in securing highway
over the Roosevelt Pass on the Theo-
dore Roosevelt International Highway
than Scott Leavitt of Great Falls,
president of the National Park-to-Park
Highway. Mr.. Leavitt appeared at
the high school auditorium Tuesday
evening under the auspices of the high
school in an interesting and instruc-
tive illustrated travelogue entitled
"Our National Parks" AS a preface
to his lecture Mr.. Leavitt gave brief
personal "reminiscences of trip taken
in 1920 which included the nine ma
pal No anu WHICH Represented
distance Of six thousand miles travelled
and eleven states visited enroute. By
the use of a most complete set of
slides, made from photographs taken
in the national parks and on the Park
to-Park highway, Mr.. Leavitt conduct
ed his audience on most realistic
tour through Glascier National Park,
"Montana's Masterpiece" Mt. Rainier,
in Washington, "The Mountain That
Was God"; Crater Lake in Oregon,
"The Mystery of the Mountains; the
Sequoias in California, "Born With the
Birth of Civilization; the Grand Can
yon in Arizona, "Full of Glory and of
God"; Mesa Verde in Colorado, "Mute
Home of Vanished People,; Rocky
Mountain in Colorado, "Glacier Rec
ords of the Past" and the Yellowstone,
"Land of Geysers."
The lecture was one of the finest
ever given in Glasgow and should be
an incentive to visit the parks, es-
pecially to those who have not had
the privilege. To create a desire to
see Natures Wonderland, and to in
spire travel to the west, are the OBJ
jects of Mr.. Leavitt's town-to-t town
tour.

On the Goth of April, the county
superintendent of schools filed in the
clerk and recorders office county unit
petitions signed by 43O Valley county
electors. Said petitioners request the
county commissioners to establish the
county unit system for rural schools
in Valley county. In compliance with
the law the county commissioners have
called an election to be held in all
third class districts of Valley County
on Saturday, June 3, from a. m. to
6 p. m.
All registered electors residing in
third class districts and whose names
appear upon the registration books of
the county upon the day of calling such
an election are entitled to vote. The
poll books of any precinct shall not
contain the names of any registered
electors residing in second class dis
tricts.
The qualified electors of the pro-.
posed rural school district shall vote
by ballot for or against the adoption
of the county unit system for rural
schools. An elector desiring to vote
for such adoption shall do so by mark
ing (X) on his ballot before the

adoption shall do so by marking (X)

fare of the rural schools of Valley
county should make an effort to vote
on June 8. In order to make it easier
for the rural people the law provides
the place of election to be the es-
tablished polling place in each pre-
cinct. The same laws that govern the
general election will govern the coun-
ty unit election. The regularly ap-
pointed judges and clerks of election
appointed for the primary and gener-
al election shall act at the county unit

APRIL RECEIPTS
BREAK RECORDS
County Treasurer Collects $50, 1884
Delinquent Tax Money During
Past Month.

County Treasurer w. L. Frazier and
Deputy S. C. Harrington are entitled
to feel jubilant over the splendid rec
ord made by that office in the collec-
ton of delinquent tax money during
the month of April. For the thirty
day period they turned into the coun-
ty Golfers a total Of $36,763.94, all
money collected on delinquent county
taxes. This is by far the largest
amount Of money collected in any one
month, except at tax paying time, in
the history of the county, the largest
month prior to that being the month
of September in 1921, when 9,278.30
was collected, and much Of this sum
was the result of the extension of time
payments granted on delinquent taxes
by the 1919 legislative session which
extended the time payment to Octo-
ber 1st, 1921. In October 1916 $751;
589.28 was collected but much of this
sum represented money paid in for
current year taxes.
The bulk of the collections made
during the month of April this year
represented money paid in by loan
companies having an equity in Valley
county lands. Payment of these taxes
goes to prove that the loan companies
have faith in the future of Montana,
and with an excellent crop prospect
for the coming season Mr.. Frazier is
confident that a great deal more de-
linquent taxes in the county will be
cleaned up before the 1922 taxes are
due.

STOCK MUST NOT RUN
AT LARGE IN CITY

During the past week Marshal Bayn-
ham, acting under instructions from
the city dads, has taken up and i'm
pounded several head of horses and
cattle running at large within the city
limits. The ordinance regarding stock
running at large in the city is very
plain and it is the intention of the city
government to see that it is strictly
enforced The stock that has been
taken up has been reclaimed by the
owners and in each case they were
obliged to pay s. 100 per head to re-
gain possession.
Stock running at large in the city
does a great deal of damage to city
property and is menace to the safe
ty of many young children playing on
the city streets.

Monday, May 9Th, will mark the(
opening date of "Clean-Up Week in
Glasgow, and Mayor Christinson has
issued proclamation appealing to
the entire citizenry of the city to CO.
operate in making this the most COM
plete and thorough cleanup campaign
ever attempted by the city.
It costs community more to be
dirty than to be clean. Consider the
toll of disease, fire and depreciation,
through filth, disorder and neglect.
For one example: Dust and CRIME are
said to be responsible for more than
fifty per cent of the wear and tear
on clothing and house furnishings.
During the coming weak each and
every householder and housewife is
urged to work together with the city
government and health authorities to
make the back yards clean as the
front ones and to make both front and
back as spotless as it is possible to
make them. Have all garbage and
refuse hauled away. If you can find
time to plant flowers and trees where
there is place for them, all the bet
ter. Every little bit helps and with the
earnest cooperation of each and every
citizen Glasgow can easily be made a
model city. Our city light, water and
sewage system is one Of the best in
the state and Glasgow has no valid ex-
cuse for being messy"
The American Legion, Woman's
club and the local schools will assist
in the campaign and Manager E. L..
Wharton of the .Orpheum theatre an
nounces "Tin Can" matinee for Tues
day afternoon after school let's out,
when an admission ticket to the mat
inee will be given to each and every
person presenting ten old tin cans at
the theatre door. The cans will be
accepted in lieu of cash and all you
need to see a good show is ten empty
tin cans.
Merchants of Glasgow are assisting
in the campaign in every possible way.
This issue of the Courier contains
many helpful suggestions in the diff
ferent advertisements on the Clean
Up campaign. Read the ads, get the
necessary materials on hand and be
ready Monday morning to be first
one in your community to complete
the spring cleaning.
