BAND TO GIVE CONCERT
WASHINCTONPS BIRTHDAY

February % is the date of the
next band concert of the Wolf Point
band, which will be given at the
Liberty theatre.
The band has for some time been
practicing for this concert and will
be prepared to give a good account
of themselves. The program will be
composed of band music, instrument
tai solos, vocal solos and duets by
members of the band and other well
known local talent.
For considerable time past, the
band has felt the want of uniforms.
Wolf Point boasts the best and big
gest band in the northeastern part
of the state and it will be a wonder
full asset to the band to have the
boys appear on public occasions all
dressed alike. But band uniforms
sufficient to provide all the members
of the band with one and have two
or three extra, means the expendi-
ture of quite a large sum of money.
Let US therefore begin at once to
boost for the band concert on Feb
ruary %, and each and every one
of us having the interest of the
band, the city, the community, and
the corner of the great state in which
we live at heart, purchase a ticket
or not we plan on being in
Thus we can show the
that we are behind
them and appreciate their efforts.
The Civic League, the CONNER
,ial Club and the Merchants Asso-
,iation are all behind the sale of
tickets.

IRRIGATION And ROADS
TOPICS OF MEETINGS

The irrigation and road meeting,
one of a series through the northern
part of the state, held here last Sat
urday afternoon, proved an unfor-
tunate disappointment to all con
cerned. The day was bitter cold,
which reduced the attendance, and
through an accident to the heating
plant which necessitated turning off
the steam for repairs, the theatre,
where the meeting was held, was un-
heated. This made thing extremely
unpleasant for the audience and the
speakers. But no one could be
blamed.
Sam Teagarden, secretary of the
Montana Irrigation Congress, made
a short talk on irrigation plans and
prospects and the ways in which the
Congress is advancing the work. The
speaker is well versed in the subject
and his talk was full of interest to
those anxious to grasp the full scope
of this most important work that is
in its inception. Mr.. Teagarden ex-
poets to return at some later date
and stir up local interest.
R. M. Conner, government project
engineer, located at Poplar, was
present and spoke briefly but inter
estingly concerning irrigation as ap-
piled to the Wolf Point-Poplar pro-
ject. He described the project plan
for taking water from the Missouri |
just below the mouth of the Milk |
river and conducting it by direct
flow along the foot of the bluffs in
such manner as to make possible the
of the great acreage of
1ats from Oswego to Poplar. Mr..
Conner had with him a set of slides
% illustrate irrigation methods but
IN account of the condition of the
heatre was unable to show them.
Mr.. Mathews, one of the prom
nent engineers of the state, talked
few minutes on the vast and impor-
ant work that confronts Montana to
i've her the rodas needed for devel-
pment of the state and industrial
economy. He also referred to the S
state road bond issue and
he much discussed question of ap-
ortionment. 7

ELEVATOR MEN dine
WITH LOCAL CITIZENS

1t was a congenial and jovial, not
to say peppery party of elevator men
and local citizens who sat down to
the businessmen's dinner at the
Sherman cafe last Thursday evening.
About score of delegates to the
Farmers Elevator convention and as
many more business men of the
town were included. The dinner
was arranged by Secretary Foor and
County Agent Chase who did it with
their well known efficiency.
The courses of the extra good din
ner were enjoyed, but no more than
the communion of ideas and good
will that followed. With toastmas-
ter of the ability of Hugh N. Marion
in charge, the after-dinner program
was bound to win with vim. And
it did.
Mr.. Marion was very happy in his
manner of introducing the several
speakers.
Mayor Stennes was called on and
made brief but graceful speech of
welcome to the visitors.
Good Speeches
Mr.. Walworth, president of the
Montana Grain Growers organiza-
ton, responded with an excellent
speech appropriate to the business of
the day.
H. L. Beers, marketing specialist
from the Montana State College, was
in a happy frame of mind and made
a speech that abounded in wisdom,
expressed. He congratu-
ated the community on the evident
and splendid spirit of cooperation.
lie said that the paramount note of
he goth century was Together"
We are passing out of the shadow
# commercialism, the speaker said,
into the sunshine of cooperation"
n short, Mr.. Beers made one of the
cry best addresses ever heard in the
ity.
Others who responded the call of
ne toastmaster were: Mr.. Chase,
ounty agent of Roosevelt; Mr.. Mag
us, of Malta; Mr.. Stebbins, county
gent of Valley; Sid Blair, of Gull
A. D. Anderson, of Rich
md county; Mr.. Willis, of Home
cad; Mr.. Heisler, of Fargo; and
II. Vinson, of Wolf Point.
Many good stories were mixed in,
1imal stories seemed to be favor
Wolves and such-and
ley were all greeted with the IA
liar local wolf howl of triumph.
After the dinner, the visitors were

e Liberty theatre as guests of the

Wolf Point in Oil Belt

Investigations Bring Firm Faith that Oil and Gas Will
be StruckThs District in Direct Line of the Oil Strip

ducers. Geological Signs Are Exceptionally Good

There is good reason for believing
that there is oil and gas in the earth
in the immediate vicinity of Wolf
Point. Certain local men have been
quietly investigating the situation
for some time and as a result the
Wolf Point Oil and Gas Company
has been Incorporated, capitalized
for limit of 100000. Seven thou
sand dollars has already been paid
in for stock and the company will
pursue the preliminary work of pros
pecting the field with all possible
speed. 1t is expected that test wells
will be started in few months.
The officers of the company de-
cided on are: V. L. Gilbert, presi-
dent, G. H. Flint, vice president, G.
P. Lamberton, secretary, and H. A.
Schoening, treasurer.
Survey Indicates Oil
Mr.. Lamberton has visited other
oil fields and been at great pains to
gather all the information possible
that is useful in developing oil pros
poets. He is very firm in his faith
that a test well will prove that there
are deposits of oil and gas under
this section. A survey of the coun-
try by government geologists, made
last year, furnishes the principal evi-
dence on which this faith is based.
A more thorough rough survey of the
district, with special reference to oil,
has been promised by the govern
ment for next spring.
The part of the geological report
that refers to this immediate vicin-
ity says:
"The axis of the larger of the
known folds passes near the
Northeast corner of Section 6,
Twp. 25, N, Rye. 48 E., and if

Ruth and Yankees
Back on Home Lot
To Meet Red Sox

Somewhat flushed about the gills
with ten victories out Of fifteen games
abroad the Yankees will start four
game series with the Red Sox at the
Polo Grounds this afternoon. Babe
Ruth got five home runs while abroad,
which Is one more than the one Sc
ries allotted to him by the best cal
culations of Colonel Tilllnghast
L'Hommedieu Huston, the travelling en-
gineer who accompanied the Yanks on
their journey.
The brittleness of the Yankees was
shown again during the tour. Duffy
Lewis strained the ligaments of his
knee and will be out for month more
George Mogridge, after losing a game
that he should have won when the
Ianks booted everything around the
Chicago lot, Is out with q sprained
ankle and Bob Shawkey, Bob The Cob,
the brainiest and best pitcher on
the Yankee staff, has strained muscle
in his back.
This latest injury leaves a serious
condition for the Yankees because
Mays and Shore have not yet shown
that they will be of great value to the
team. Rip Collins, the most promising
young pitcher that ever started, will
have plenty of work to do when the
Yanks intrench at the Polo Grounds

New Ruling ON Homers
For American League

CHICAGO, June PA change in the
baseball rules governing balls hit out
of the playing fields will go into effect
tomorrow, it was announced tonight
by American League headquarters. The
rule in question is covered by para
graph as. Of the rule book, and at pres
ent provides that ball shall be Judged
fair or foul according to where it
passes over the boundary line of the
actual playing field"
The new wording will be the same
as in 1919, which says that when a
"batted ball passes outside ground or
into the stands, the umpire shall judge
it fair or foul, according to where it
disappears from the umpire's vicw'
The latter Interpretation Of the rule
would have robbed Babe Ruth of at
least two home runs this year, baseball
officials said, because there are two
instances on record where he hit balls
into the stands, which landed In foul
territory, but we're called fair because
they passed over the fence fair and
curved into foul ground

The Dodgers again trounced George
Gibson's Pirate yesterday afternoon.
and thereby made it two out OF three
in the series with the Smoky City
outfit The game brought the invasion
of Ebbcts Field by the Western cohorts
to a close. Although the Brooklynites
have won only four of the thirteen
contests played during that period, they
have managed to retain their grip on
second place in the league standing.
The final score was 6 TO >.
Uncle Robbies hired athletes had
very little respect for the veteran
Babe" Adams, who was given the task
of holding them in check. The Babe y
was going along fairly well until the
nth inning, .when the home talent as
saulted him numerically and forced
him to retire When the bombardment
finally ceased the Dodgers had chased
five runs across the plate. During the
excitement the Flatbush elan suffered
another casualty when Olson was
"beaned' by a pitched ball. He was
unconscious for minute or two, and
then had to quit the game.
Al Mamaux was bumped rather fire.
quently by his former teammates, who
gathered a total of fourteen hits, but
he frightened up at several critical
stages and succeeded in holding the
visitors to two runs, although they
had filled the bases in three innings.
After Mamaux had been called out
on strikes in the riotoGs fifth, kildutf
beat out hit to Barbara. and John
ston also got an infield hit. Griffith
then forced Johnston at second and
Klduff, took. third on the play. South

it went for double, scoring kildutt

Singles by Myers and Konetchy, fol

The onslaught upon the hippo was
sudden and terrific. George Burns IN
dicated that all was not we'll for him
bv opening the inning with hit that
crashed against the upper right mana
tier Of the grandstand for home run.
Bancroft singled to right and took third
when Ross Young singled to center.
While they were passing the bail 10
third to get Bancroft, Young tackled
over to second base.
After this burst there were signs IN
the Chicago infeld that the inmates
thereof did not think that James would
last for the entire game. In tact' the
sentiment seemed to be that James
should retire and sit in the shade Tor
tho rest of the pastime before the
entire Giant batting array pounded MN
To death to make humid Polish

Harrassing the Hippo
But the harrassing of the hippo con-
timed. Bancroft came home when
Terry threw out Frisch. Kelly hit one
down to Kelly and Young was knocked
off at the plate trying to come nome.

was trotted out to the showers; SICK

Art Nehf, who cost the Giants vast
sum on or off the cuff, showed that ne
was worth large hunk Of the purchase

hits. Art was in bad way only IN one
inning and that let in the lone run for
the Cubs. :,
Hollocher singled in the Cubs half

MeadowbrOok Polo Team
Beats EatOntown, l2-1l

HEMPsTEAD, L. l., June 24-Eaton-
towns polo team played a surprisingly
fast and aggressive match with Meadow
Brook to-day in the fourth match for
the Meadow Brook Cup, but lost by a
score of - to H. The teams were tied
at the close of the eighth chukker and
an extra period was played.
Lee and Winn for the Jerseymen
were particularly clever in driving and
Phillips and Kinney blocked Meadow
Brook so handily in the last two
periods that the ball was princi-
pallv in Eatontown's territory.
