rency stolen, S1,630.NQ for Liberty
bonds belonging to the bank" which
were missing, and $sO1.50 which rep
resented Liberty bonds and other Sc
curities belonging to customers.
As soon as the loss on the building
can be estimated by competent man
and prices secured on new furniture to
replace that broken and damaged the
bank will receive additional compen-
sation for it's loss in that amount.
The bank is to be complimented ON
it's foresight in having safes and
vaults such as to make it eligible to
insurance under a first class surety
company, also the fact that they took
the opportunity of insuring to pro-
tect their customers.
In order to give the reader an idea
of the terrible power of the explosive
used Mr.. Hart said that the doors ane
windows would not properly close or
account of the twist and strain on the
building. The bottom of the big vault
door was sheared out as clean as i
cut by scissors and thrown the full
length of the building, smashing fur
niture in it's path and stopping agains
the wall forty feet away.

RANKIN WILL OPPOSE
RAILROAD REDUCTIONS

Attorney General Wellington D.
Rankin has given notice that he would
oppose any reduction in assessment of
railroad properties. The attorney gen
eral gave this notice in meeting OF
the state board of equalization of
which he is a member, when E. M.
Sawyer of Salt Lake, tax agent for
the Oregon Short Line, was appearing
before the board and asking that the
railroads be placed upon the same
basis of assessment as other proper
ty.
The assessment of the Oregon Short
Line had been figured rather high be-
cause of a stretch of "a miles of track
belonging to the Northern Pacific had
been enormously included in it's to-
tails. 1t was explained by Nils P.
Haugen that this had been deducted
and that it resulted in the Oregon
Short Line assessment being reduced
about per cent below that of 1921
which was 1881, 900.
Mr.. Sawyer said no protest would be
made, but he informed the board that
the assessment in this state last veal
had been made about 100000 higher

the fact that the bank was insured

Glentana had the foresight to protect
it's customers by this form of insur-
ance.
Immediately after the robbery the
Helena office of the surety company
was notified and they took care of
the details of investigating the rob-
berry and what chance there was Of
arresting the robbers. The first train
toon H. L. Hart, the manager, to
Glasgow, and from here he was taken
to Glentana by car to adjust the loss.

and stolen money were completely
checked by last Monday night and the
surety company then offered immed-
late payment of the claims with the
exception of the loss on the building
and furniture. This payment was ac-
cepted in the amount of $4,446.26 OF

VIM, PIPPY is RETURNED TO ~.
METHODIST PASTORATE HERE

William, Pippy, pastor of the Meth
odist church, takes up his second year
pastorate in Glasgow next Sunday. Mr..
Pippy says he has returned, not to
interpret mysteries, but to help people.
He is not here to assume super-know-
ledge but to humbly cooperate with
all responsible people to bring little
bit of heaven nearer our firesides. If
he can help Glasgow in any way to
boom, morally, financially or spiritu-
ally, he will be delighted.
Mr.. Pippy suggests worthwhile
program for present day embarass-
ments, and for the solution of all
Problems: First, take inventory and
see just where you stand in your re-
lation to your neighbor and your God.
Clean house till it hurts. Be true to
your country and it's laws. Cut out
your cheating and swearing, for you
owe something to the fellow across
the way. Boost your schools and your
churches. Put on your best suit and
take a front seat in your church on
Sunday and teach the boys and girls
how to live like men and women. Pay
your fare straight through, and tell the
Almighty every day you are thankful
for chance to live. If you don't like
this world you will very likely have
chance to curse another.
Mr.. Pippy says that a good old
fashioned soul cleaning will do the
town more good than gusher, ant
that we can't do better thing fo1
our town and for our girls and boy.
than to get into the habit of going Il
church on Sunday.

GLASGOW CO. TO
DRILL new WELL
Bowdoin Oil & Gas Company Will Re-
sume Operations on New Site
Nearer Apex of Dome.

Great Falls, Sept. 5.-Word has
been received in Great Falls that the
Bowdoin Oil & Gas company of Glas-
cow has been financed for the drill
ing of new we'll. Contract has been
let for the derrick and force of men
engaged to dig the pit.
The drilling site is about six miles
southwest of the we'll Of the Phillips
County Oil and Gas company now be-
ing drilled in section 6, township 32
north, range 33 east and where a
heavy flow of gas was encountered a
few weeks ago.
There are many oil men here who
ture, which they say has never been
given a good test. They are watch
ing with much interest the develop
ments in that field.
This week the drilling rig at the
oil we'll on Bowdoin lake is being
moved to location a few miles far
ther east, according to the Malta En-
tdrprlse. The location of the rig
will be about three miles north Of the
Great Falls ranch, or one-half mile
directly south of what was formerly
Mud Lake. The report Of Collier and
other men who have made study of
the Bowdoin dome locate the apex in
the neighborhood of where the COM
pany are going to drill.
The Bowdoin people have met with
many difficulties as they were the first
company to start drilling in this Sec
tion of the country and with every
thing new and an insufficient amount
of tools and material the work was
handicapped, and then they were up
against the mercy Of the drillers. They
will profit greatly by their past ex'
perience and the second hole will &C
much faster than the first one. 1t is
the intention Of the company to have
everything in readiness for work ir
ten days or two weeks and they ex
pect to go along without any delay
They will start the hole with an Il
inch bit and carry it through tn
drift and then reduce to a fifteen incl
hole. 1t is expected they will not b.
forced to drill with as small bit a
they were in the hole abandoned. TIL
Bowdoin people are in excellent shap
financially and have enough money t
complete the we'll they now expect t
drill, and if this proves another dr.
hole they will Immediately drill ar
other, as they have decided to Civ
the dome thorough testing.

Mr.. h. served notice that he
would opp e any proposed reduction

state needed the money, that he did
not think the railroads had ever been
