a cold and cure grip, as it opens the

Good Watch Work

By good we mean the careful, interested work of skilled ,

F men who actually take pride in their work.

That is what you get when you bring your watch here to
be repaired, or for the regular cleaning and oiling it ought
h to have to keep it in proper running order. It is economy
l for you in the charge, and in the years it adds to the life of
î your watch.

The UzM&mrk
of the editorial in your issue of Feb
ruary 8th, with reference to the city
management. I feel that there is se
criticism due the commission
vert
ers and more might be said of the
matter than you stated.
As a long resident of the city of
i Bozeman, during which time I have
i always borne my share of the burden
! of city expense and paid a goodly!
sum in taxes( l felt the change inj
I governmental form would be a big!
I improvement. I worked for the suc-i
I cess of changing to the commission'
j form of city government with the
| view of having a purely business ad
UfciistiVtabnX Things have sorted
'off as though we were not going to!
; ^
In the first place, it was asserted
! by those who first brought the new
form of government to our atten
iont. that the city manager would
,
a man fn)m outaide the city who
djd not friendships or other
connection8 locally. A man was to
fae , who could be free to do
;
I the things we all wanted done to
! give better government and save the;
1 city money. As you stated in your]
1 editorial, we are right back where
i we were a year ago. This does
su j^ me> and I know of many others!
in Bozeman who are also dissatisfied,
i wbo w m ^e glad to see the city go;
bac k to the old form if what we have!
had so far is the best ^ be expected
un( j er t be present system.
jj ad a c j ty manager been employed!
who was competent to fill the posi- !
tlon, who was a stranger to the city,;
as was understoo d would be dono,j
then the present unsatisfactory sit
■on would not have developed.
feel the citizens of Bozeman should
not hesitate to show the commission
ers they do not approve of the meth
ods so far followed. For myself, if
what we have had so far is a sample
of commission form of city govem
ment, I have had all I want of it.
Very truly yours,
W. H. C.
Bozeman.
j The Bozeman Courier,
I Montana:
! I read your criticism of the ap
' pointments made by the city manager
j with considerable pleasure. I think
you stated the case Just right. There
! is every reason for the people of
Bozeman feeling disappointed in the
way the city has been managed since;
changing to this new form of a com-{
mission government.
The women of the city, at least
those with whom I have talked,
wanted to see the new kind of gov
ernment, wanted it so that the old
clique that had been, running the
town so long would be done away
with. That was why it was expect
ed some one who was not a Bozeman
man would be hired as city manager.!
But we see the whole thing going!
just the «verse of the oromises made
before the election. It looks like an
1
attempt is being made to make people
dissatisfied with this new form of
city government.
If the city is to be run by a, few
and run without consideratiorf for thel
best interests of the whole town, and
the same men must be put in the
same offices all the time, then there
is no need of the new form of city
government. The women of the town
voted strong for the change, and ifj
necessary they can vote just as strong
for mother. I hope your paper will
.,
^P ^ this until the commission
ers realize the seriousness of the
matter and correct their ways,
sincerely yours,

CALGARY CATTLE AND
WINNIPEG WHEAT
Alberta Province, Canada, seems to j
have done pretty well in 1921 in sell- i
ing its products to the United States, c
notwithstanding the Fordney emer- J
gency tariff law. According to a re- 1
port from Winnipeg, Alberta exports I
, of cattle and flour to the United States ]
have increased. From the Calgary j
district alone 28,661 head of cattle ; |
were sent to us in 1921, valued at{
$1,132,000, compared with 12,891 head
in 1920. Last year 103,216 sackt, of
flour wpre shipped from the Calgary ;
district to us, valued at $452,995, com
pared with 65,152 sreks in 1920. "How
ever, the total exports from this sec
tion to the United States dropped
from $6,926.219 in 1920 to $3,118,
686 last year, the emergency bill be
ing responsible in large measure,
says the report. More than likely
this value decrease was due in great
er measure to the general decline in |
prices which has been world-wide.
