CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MOVES TO RUMBLE BLDG.
Local Organization to Move from the
Goodkind Block on Completion
of New Quarters. -.

The Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
and Agriculture, which organization
has for the past year and a half been
located in the south end of the Good
kind block, will in a few days move
to new quarters now being remodeled
in the south end of the Hub Clothing
store in the Rundle building.
The quarters in the Goodkind block
proved to be too small for the work
that Secretary Fred Weigel had in
mind, and the fact that the building
was not modern in respect to heat in
particular, caused the president and di--
rectors to change the location.
The new quarters will face the east
and have very nice window for the
display of grains and other things
which the chamber may have for dis
play. The officers and directors are
to be congratulated on the change, es-
pecially as it signifies an improvement
and growth of the local organization
which indicates return of prosperity
to this section of the state.

VALLEY COUNTY STOCK
TO Be SHIPPED OCT. 5TH
Trainload of Cattle Expected to Be
Shipped from County. Shippers
Should Notify Manager.

The date set for the shipment of
stock from Valley county is October 5.
From present indications there will be
a trainload of stock leaving the coun-
ty on that date. Several large ranch
ers are shipping and small shipments
will be taken care of by the Milk Riv-
er Valley Cooperative Livestock
Shipping association. Manager Sher-
man Barger of Nashua will be in
charge of the shipments consigned to
the livestock shipping association.
Farmers having one or more head and
desiring to ship this fall, should write
Mr.. Barger at once in order that car
space can be arranged for. Do not
expect to get Accommodations unless you
notify the manager ahead of time.
Much better service is given by the
railroad companies on train load ship
ments and coach will be furnished,
which affords better Accommodations
than caboose.
Individuals having a carload and
not wanting to ship with the associ-
alton should personally order cars at
once and sign the order sheet, and
at least once a week should inquire
about cars. In doing so the cars will
be on hand when the stock arrives,
otherwise the cars may not be on
hand and great expense will be in
Cured in waiting.
The shipping association insures all
stock consigned to it and has already
paid all losses promptly. They issue
full itemized statements of each mans
stock. The cash is sent back direct
to the owner and not returned as as
sociation funds.
The office of the county agent will
be glad to assist in ordering cars anc
in any other way necessary to help ir
the handling of the stock.
The association will ship from
Nashua and Glasgow if enough orders
are sent in to the manager to fill {
car. Under the present unsettled con
dition of the railroads the business Of
ordering cars should be attended tt
at once either personally or by proxy

editor of the Miles City Star, was re-
elected chairman Of the Republican
state central committee at the meet
ing of the Republican state conven-
tion here today, and o. A. Bergeson Of
Geraldine, was elected secretary.
The convention got under way here

to order by Chairman Joseph D. Scan
Ian of Miles City, then a recess was
taken until p. M, to allow all dele
gates from the eastern part of the
state to get here.
The necessity for greater revenue
for the state and the need for change
in the system of taxing mining pro-
perties was emphasized by Chairman
Scanlan and Governor Dixon, who de-
livered talks Immediately following
the organization of the convention
when it met this afternoon.
"These known qualities Of govern
ment in Montana are the potent fac
tors that are driving the masses into
the state of mind that eventually pro-
duces your socialists, your I. w. w.
and your red radicals. There can be
no peace in Montana until this flag
rant discrimination is settled right"
said Governor Dixon. Attorney Cen
eral wellington D. Rankin made a
strong talk for party harmony and CO.
operation.
The platform adopted endorses the
national and state administrations,

Riddick and Washington ]. McCor-

BOWDOIN DOME TO BE DRILLED
BY GREAT FALLS COMPANY

Great Falls.-It is announced that
the Homestake Oil company of this
city, through the Homestake Explora-
ton company, is dealing for acreage
in the Bowdoin dome, the largest en-
closed structure in the United States.
The Homestake is said to have had
geological party in the field and is
negotiating for leases.
Bowdoin is looked upon with much
favor in view of recent developments
in northern Montana. Existence of
oil in the great flat structure at Sun
burst would indicate even better
chances on Bowdoin which has a
known closure of around 1000 feet,
as ascertained by two wells, one drilled
in the southwest flank and one OH the
northwest flank.
Each of these wells was drilled "on
leases" rather than on the structure,
though the structural "high" had been
designated by the United States geo.
logical survey.

PRACTICALLY ALL COAL MINES
IN STATE ARE NOW AT WORK

Great Falls.-With few exceptions,
where local differences between miners
and operators are still to be adjusted,
coal mines in Montana have resumed
operations, says Geo. N. Griffin, who
was in Conrad recently to investigate
a mine accident.
More than 1000 men have been put
back to work in the coal mines of the
state since the settlement of the
strike in Montana, and production will,
in the opinion of Inspector Griffin, be
sufficient to meet all demands in the
state.
Continuous operation of all coal
mines in Montana with a maximum
output would give production in ex-
cess Of 100000 tons a year," Mr..
Griffin said.
'The tendency on the part of coal
users in Montana to bring in coal from
the outside is partly responsible for
non-employment among miners in the
state"

the river and down to the well site,
south and east Of Arthur.
This is no small job in itself, but
such headway was made that officials
of the Pioneer company declared that
the rig would be set up by the last of
the week, surely, and that it was very
possible that operations would be COM
menced.
With the diamond drill outfit the
Pioneer people expect to thoroughly
prove the field at this location.
While the complete details of the
contract are not made public, of
course, it is known that the firm who
are to do the drilling agree to put
down well to any depth required to
thoroughly prove the field. This may
mean that the hole will have to go
go down to what is known as the low
er sands.
Heavy forfeits would have to be
paid by the drilling company, it is
declared, if for any reason the hole
is not drilled to certain depth. 1t is

the agreement which requires that the
drilling company shall bore to a depth
greater than $500 feet before they re-
ceive any money at all on their con-
tract. The diamond drill will bore in
the same hole started by the Pioneer
company.
The Pioneer company decided some
time ago to have the hole put down
by firm who make special business
of drilling oil wells.
Advocates of the diamond drill
method claim for it many advantages
over the old way of putting down an
oil we'll. For example, the diamond
drill produces core of rock which
shows accurately the strata and for.
nations through which it passes as il
penetrates into the earth. These
cores are preserved and in this way
a perfect log of the we'll may be OBJ.

It is impossible to say definitely
what length of time will be required
to prove the field on this location
but Mr.. Phillips thought that result:
would be obtained within sixty days
Of course it may require a muc,
shorter time but sixty days was givel
as limit by Mr.. Phillips. While th'
operations are being carried on a

ployes and officials of the compan,

ROOSEVELT COUNTY TO
TEST CATTLE FOR T. B.

Poplar.-Roosevelt county has de-
cided to be rated among the tubercu-
losis-free tested counties in the state.
This will be made possible through the
cooperation of the county commission
ers, the Roosevelt county farm bureau
and the state and federal sanitary de-
partments. The work which was start
ed last summer tested greater por-
ton of all cattle in the county and
came so near completion that $3.50 or
5000 furnished by the county for gas
and oil would complete the job and
put Roosevelt county on an accredited
"T. B." free list. This means great
deal to every stock grower within the
boundaries of the county. A large
number of the commission houses pay
10 per cent premium for cattle from
tuberculosis free counties according
to United States standards.
On this basis, according to the live
stock valuation of the county on cat
tie alone, which is estimated at about
$3.50 900, Roosevelt county cattle would
be increased in value $45,O00, besides
guaranteeing freedom from tubercu-
losis, which is contagious for humans
from bovine animals. All farmers or.
ganizations and business organizations
that co-operated in the preliminary
work will help complete the job until
every COW in the community is tested
1t will not be necessary to retest
any cattle unless "T. B." is found ir
the herd, meaning that only cattle
that were not tested in the work will
be picked up next time. Work will be-
gin after fall shipments are made
which will be about November /.
