Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Wise and
son, Lawrence, arrived home last
Friday from Wolf Point, Montana,
where they had spent the past few
months. They report crops in the
vicinity of Wolf Point as fairly good
but many parts of the state will
have a very poor yield on account OF
lack of rain. Over large areas the
crops have been burned up and will
be a total failure, especially in
North Dakota, in which state they
saw many fields that would not be
worth cutting.
| The telephone crew, which started
work here couple of weeks ago, as
mentioned in this paper, are now
making rapid progress in the work of
rebuilding the outside portion of the
local telephone system. This work,
which will cost in the neighborhood
of $1,000, is in preparation for the
changing of the local exchange from
the present system to the common
battery system, which will make our
telephones "self-starters' and do
away with the cranking. This
change, however, will not be made
until next year.
