PEGLOW PRES. SEVERSON
v. P.-GOOD REPORTS

The annual business meeting of the
Commercial club of Wolf Point was
held Tuesday evening in the palm
room of the Sherman. The call sent
out by Secretary Gordon to the mem
bers brought out a good attendance,
and a snappy session filled with inter
est from beginning to end resulted.
The absence of President Huxsol
from the city brought vice-president
Peglow to the chair as presiding Off
Ger, and he opened the meeting with
a short talk that dealt intimately with
community affairs for the past year
and the present one. The speaker
took a very optimistic view of the
prospects for business and develop
ment, and said that a strong com
mercial organization was Of inesti-
mable value in handling the various
matters bearing on the city's interest
that were certain to come up.
Reports
Besides the official reports the chief
of the evening was the cleo
ton Of a president, vice-President,
treasurer and three directors to serve
two years each. The report of treas
urer A. v. Appelgren gave in detail
the receipts and disbursements for
the past year and showed small
balance on hand.
Secretary Gordon read an optimis-
tic report covering the activities Of
the past year which will be published
in full next week but was crowded
out of this issue by lack of space.

1903, and the treaty of limits with
Spain of February %, 1929, and al
so by right Of actual occupation of
soil for great number of years.
The "Oregon Question" engrossed
the attention of Congress and came
near resulting in a war between the
United States and Great Britain, but
the matter was amicabIy adjusted
by treaty of June Is, 1864, by which
the forty-ninth parallel Of latitude
was established as a boundary line
between the two nations, and the
United States became the sole and
undisputed owner Of all that portion
Of Oregon lying south Of that line.
Oregon was organized as a terri
tory by act Of Congress, passed in
August, 1913, and included within
its limits all that portion of Montana
lying on the west side Of the Rocky
Mountains. The Territory of Ore

Perhaps no state in the union has
had a more romatic or varied past,
nor a sterner struggle for the estab-
lishment and maintenance of it's in
stitutions. As an illustration of the
vicissitudes and changing fortunes of
portions of the territory, one might
mention that the County of Missoula
has at different times comprised a
portion of four territories and five
counties.
All that portion of the state Of
Montana bounded on the north by the
British possessions, on the east by
the main range of the Rocky noun
tains, on the south and southwest by
the Bitter Root mountains, and on the
west by the one hundred and six
teenth degree of longitude, at one
time constituted portion Of the
vast domain Of the great Northwest,
known as Oregon Territory. When
and by what means the government

Oregon was for a great number of
years claimed by the United States

nations. Great Britain claimed by

Sit on Ground
At Big Pageant

Approximately 5000 people gath.
cred at "Ramona s Bowl" on San
Jacinto mountain yesterday to view
the impressive and beautifully en-.
acted Ramona pageant.
The entire mountainside was a
mass of spectators as early as 2:30

poor made their seat upon the
ground as comfortably as possible
and patiently awaited the appear
ance of the beautiful Indian maid,

Douglas Fairbanks and Mary were
there and sat with all the others on
the sun kissed mountains while the
pageant was enacted.
The authorities in charge stated
yesterday that the characters were
better chosen this year than ever
before and from the number that
were there Saturday and yesterday,
it is believed that many more will
see the pageant than during any
other year. If fate allows next Sat
urday and Sunday s weather to be
as pleasant as this last week end,
many will no doubt be in attend
anco next Saturday and Sunday
when the production will be repeat

BOOKS IN COLLEGE

Book ownership and private Libraries have some
times been considered things of the past In the pre-
sent day. it has been thought people read books bor
rowed from public libraries and very little about
building UP libraries in their homes. College students
are supposed to pay attention only to text books re-
quired for study
For these reasons library exhibit held recently
at Yale University is of interest It was display OF
the private collections of books and manuscripts be-
longing the students and housed in the dormltores
group of undergraduates authors of the happy
idea to assemble these collections for public exhibit
1t is reported: THE Yale faculty members and the
the literati of New Haven admitted that they were
stricken dumb with amaZement and admiration at the
extent the value and the magnficence Of the col
lection of books and manuscripts which the undergrad
yates brought together"
This should give pause to critical persons who
have believed that the colleges and universities were
addicted to everything but interest in books Pri-
and fine books apparently can thrive on the same
campus with great stadium and keen interest in ath-
leticS.

SHOALS COMING INTO USE

One of the big power units at Muscle Shoals viii
be finished and ready for operation by midsummer. A
large amount of electric current will then be available
No provision has been made yet for using IT. either Dy
the government or by private industry, because all
congressional efforts to work out policy for the
Shoals project have failed. So the war department
at present in charge, proposes to offer the available
current to the highest bidder.
1t is obviously sensible to start producing current
when the plant is ready, instead of letting the costly
machinery stand idle and the water continue running
The government needs money. So, pending the work
ing out of permanent policy there will be little OBJ
lection to selling the current for what 1t Will BRING IN
the open market.
A hydro-electric plant, unlike most other fac
tories, requires very small force of men to run It,
There plenty of army engineers capable of direct
ing it. Such a venture should be not only tempor-
AIRY expedent but useful experiment. After few
months the government and the public should have
better idea of what Muscle Shoals good for and what
to do with it.

SCHOOLS AND LEISURE

"Is it the duty of the schools to do what they can
towards directing the leisure activities of puplls?
So asks QUESTIONABLE sent out by school sup
superintendent to parents graduates and others inter-
ested in the schools of his small city One parent re-
piled that before that question could be answered the
schools must give the children some leisure.
Of late years there has been tendency to lengthen
school hours everywhere The schools in this case,
from seventh grade up, from $50 to 40, allowing
as minutes at school for lucheon. Children are
away from home from eight until after four An hour
out of DOORS dinner, home work. bed is the daily rou
tine No time for music, household help home games.
Athletics take most of Saturday. Dramatcs and carr
nivals call for rehearsals.
Parents are blamed for living in small apart
ments, the family going out for all amusements. But
if children allowed at home only long enough for
dinner and bed five days week. what is the use of
providing yards and gracious rooms and musical at
mosphere and such things?
The school is not wholly to blame. 1t has simply
taken over the teaching of sewing cooking, mechanics
athletics the times seemed to demand. Perhaps 1t
teaches these things scientifically than the home
used to do.
But could not compromise be reached making
the children work harder during shorter hours, and
giving them chance at home life?
