Harry Hawker and Commando r
Mackenzie Gricve have returned from
what seemed certain death. Nobody
realizes that more than the aviator who
has made flights over water
What Hawker and Grieve attempted
has placed them III a class with the
worlds greatest heroes. The lay mind
can hardly conceive the tremendous
difficulties with which they were sur
rounded. Perhaps the mariner Nho
has fought his way across the stormy
Atlantic, or Boy Scout who has found
his way through the painless forest,
can begin to understand something of
the remarkable feat. But only an
aviator, one who has flown over strange
lands, through unknown weather, can
fully appreciate the daring of the un-
dertaking Of Hawker and Grieve.

COMMISSIONERS AWARD
THE COUNTY PRINTING

Wolf Point Herald: Tuesday after
noon j. c. Dryer, clerk and record
er of Roosevelt county, called the
Herald office on long distance and
notified US that if we wanted to bid
on the county printing the time when
the bids would be closed was the
next day, Wednesday, at three o'clock
p. m.
The Herald was interested to hear
this news but having been furnished
no schedules of items and specifica-
tons on which to bid, no time in
which to secure such and no time
to learn the latest quotations on
paper stock, there was no alternative
but to pass up the golden opportuni-
ty. q
No one should get the idea that
the Herald is kicking or desiring to
scrap over that old, old bone of
contention that has become an is
sue, sooner or later, in every county
that ever was-the county printing.
1t is simply mentioned as an item OF
Roosevelt county news. Presumably
the contract was rewarded, we mean
awarded, at the aforesaid time when
the bids were closed. Who got it is
not yet known here, but it is safe
to hazard that the plum fell not more
than % miles from Wolf Point.

ROOSEVELT COUNTY
is NOW IN OPERATION

Bainville Tribune: Roosevelt Coun-
ty is now a working unit, the official
machinery having been set in mo-
ton at Mondak Tuesday at L
o'clock-noon-when the newly ap-
pointed commissioners met and or
gained for the transaction of bust
ness. All the appointed officers
were on hand to take oath of office
and have their bonds approved and
at the hour stated above Roosevelt
officially and otherwise joined the
rank of counties in the Treasure
State, being the forty-eighth.
After having organized as board
of commissioners they at once began
the transaction of other business,
chief Of which was the naming of
the temporary county seat-Mondak
being named as the temporary seat
of government for the next two
years. Other business such as the
purchasing of necessary supplies
and receiving bids for fixtures and
the county printing came up yester-
day. Bids for the latter were opened
yesterday afternoon-but three hav-
ing been submitted-the Poplar
Standard, Culbertson Searchlight
and the Yellowstone News being the
contenders. Up until the time of
going to press no decision has been
arrived at by the board as the bills
were being checked item by item and
it will take considerable time to de-
termine who has the lowest bid.
The meeting place of the board for
the present is in the directors rooms
of the ,Mondak State Bank, but ar
rangements are being made to Sc
cure other quarters and several 9TH
err buildings are being considered.
The board has disposed of raft
of work in the past couple of days
and will continue in session until
such time as the machinery of every
Office is stafted~out and working sat-,
isfactorily.

THE COUNTY PRINTER
Editor Jerome of the Poplar Stand
ard Comes Under the Wire An


Culbertson Searchlight: At the
session of the County Commission
ers on Tuesday afternoon specifica-
tons for bids on the county printing
were given out to the editors pres
ent, Messrs. Jerome and trawley of
the Poplar Standard, Charlie Drake of
the Mondak News, and Editor Reed
| OF the Culbertson Searchlight. The
balance of the editors in the county
were notified to be on hand with their
bids Wednesday afternoon, 8 o'clock.
The reason for such short notice was
the fact that many of the books,
blanks and stationery were needed at
once or as soon as they could be Sc
cured.
The bids were opened at the ap-
pointed hour, Editors Butler of Froid
and HER of Bainyille were in Nom
| dak and asked for weeks extension
of time as they said it was impos-
sible to get their bids ready on such
short notice.
However, the commissioners de-
cided that these editors both had the
same length of time to prepare as
the other three had, viz: fifteen days
since the Roosevelt county bill passed
and was approved, so their plea for
an extension of time was not grant
ed.
Well the bids were opened as stat
ed and the county commissioners be-
gan their canvass of the bids and
prices. They worked on the bids the
balance of the afternoon and held q
night session after supper at which
time the bidders were allowed to be
present. The editor of the Search
light contended and still contends
that his bid was the lowest by a good
many round iron dollars.
The night session ended without a
decision. The matter was taken up
at the morning session and it did not
take the commissioners long to de-
eide to give the printing to the
Poplar Standard. The editor of the
Searchlight was pretty sore, for it
looked to US ON Wednesday night as
if We We're a sure winner. We made
our disappointment known in plain
language but felt more reconciled af-
ter an interval.
The county printing amounts TO
quite a sum Of money and even a
small percentage of profits amounts
to quite a sum. Our bid was made
on a close margin. We can't see for
the life of US how the county dads
could turn US down-but they did.
The vote for the Standard was I'M
animous, Mr.. Anderson voting with
Messrs. Patch and Weinrich, after
they had decided on the Standard. 1t
was no use to do otherwise, although
we have a strong bunch that we
thought our bid was lowest.
Well, we lost out, and we intend
to take our medicine like a good
sport. Other times are coming and
perhaps we will be the winner next
time.
The printing was let to Nov. 80,
1920, practically year and eight
months.

COMMISSIONERS In
SESSION THIS WEEK

Froid Tribune: The Roosevelt Coun-
ty Commissioners are in session this
week at Mondak, Franz Weinrich
was made chairman of the Board.
The first thing the Board did was
to vote Mondak the temporary
county seat. The usual routine of
business is being transacted We'd
nesday afternoon the printers of the
county were advised over the phone
that the county printing would be
let the next day at three o'clock no
list being furnished to any of them
save perhaps one or two. The Board
followed about the same proceedings
used in Sheridan county in giving
most of the publishers little or no
notice in which to prepare their
bid. The Board required the print
ters to bid on everything in the line
of books, stationery aid other sup
plies used in all the county offices,
and as the printers had no time TO
get book prices from the publishing
houses who furnish the county re-
cord books, most of US were unable
to submit a bid. However, the Pop
lar Standard man was there with a
representative of the State Pub. Co.,
and the bid of that combination was
accepted.
Three adding machines, office fur
niture and other equipment have been
purchased.
