 Want Position.
 The democratic element and q considerable portion of the republi- cans in town who want competition on the board of relief are asking for a democratic member to take the place of S.

The question will come before the board of selectmen on Monday evening and it is hoped by the democrats that that body will see it's way clear to place a member of the minority on the board.
 Democratic representation on this board and the board of relief ceased about six years ago, and since that date it has been sore spot with the local democratic party that none of it's members were office holders on either body. They decry the monopoly and state that at this time, conditions are right for the installa-

Feeling has been running high
 since the town meeting in regard 10
 the proposed erection of high
 school on the plot at the Center
 which was bought from F. Wellos
 Eddy last spring. There is no doubt
 that the town would be benefited by
 high school but many are of the
 opinion that it is not necessary at this time. It would take at least a year and possibly more before con- strllction could be started. com- n.ittee drawing plans would need at least six months before a full report could be given and probably another year would pass before town meet ing could be held and contracts let for the construction. Some residents
 realize that now Is the time to start
 but others want to Wait. It prob able thata sncciHl town rleoti"~ will be held in the near future and the question will be thrashed out at that time.

6 MORE WEEKS
OF WINTER LOOM
Br'er Grounding Emerges From
Winter Quarters Wednesday
to Find Sun Shining

Six more weeks of winter are IN
store for BOzeman and the Gallatin
valley if the old belief in the ground
hog and Candlemas day is correct.
Br'er Groundhog crawled out of his
winter quarters Wednesday morning
to find the sun shining brightly, a
condition that obtained, according to
news dispatches, in most sections Of
the state.
While few persons can be found
who will express implicit faith in the
old superstition, its effect persists
sufficiently to induce the majority OF
folk to take a curious interest in
whether the grounding sees his shad-
ow on February 2.
The mild weather of the last week
eliminated Wednesday in a 24-houl
period during which the mercury did
not sink to the freezing point. Indi-
cations Thursday afternoon, however
were for unsettled conditions with
possibly rain or snow squalls.

der PROPERTY

Charles R. Poor this week an
his recent purchase, from
George P. Dier for a consideration
not made public, the garage build
ing at 25 North Wilson avenue.
Mr.. Poor has occupied the property
for four and half years, conducting
a general garage business and a sales
agency for Hudson and Essex cars.
Last summer, with the idea Of erect
ing a new building to house his busi-
ness, Mr.. Poor bought several lots in
the same block. Later negotiations,
however, resulted in the purchase Of
the Dier property and made the new
building plan unnecessary,
No immediate changes or improve
ments to his newly acquired property
are contemplated by Mr.. Poor. His
steadily growing volume Of business,
however, may make alterations and
additions necessary in the future.
