developed only partially, according 10
Mr.. Luckett. 1t also would afford

sultation last night on the issue OF
whether Great Falls should be de-

plans call for the INCORPORATION

the issuance of stock to the Mime

The following are the lodges back of

School for EmigrantS.
Mr.. Valeur, head of one of the de-
partments of the Danish Foreign Of
fee, has preached a plan for the
establishment of an emigrant school
in Copenhagen where courses are to
be provided for all prospective emil
grants. An information bureau for
this class of people has been main
tanned for some time, but Mr.. Valeur
feels that more adequate service
might be given through a school.
Courses will be adapted to the special
needs of those who contemplate emil
grafton to the United States, to Cana
da, and to Australia. The thought
back of the plan is that people who
go abroad for the purpose of remain
ing there, will avoid many of the
serious pitfalls into which many are
precipitated who are not informed
about life and manners in the coun-
try to which they emigrate.
