POST OFFICE REMAINS
AT PRESENT LOCATION
ALL BIDS CONSIDERED TOO
HIGH-HANSON WILL EN-
LARGE BUILDING

Wolf Points postoffice is destined
to remain at it's present location for
at least the next ten years. The post
al department, after considering the
bids submitted for furnishing the
postoffice building, in accordance
with the department specifications,
decided that the expense was too
great, and an agreement has been
entered into with Postmaster Han
son, who owns the building now oc-
cupied by the postoffice.
Mr.. Hanson will move the present
building to the north and add 26 feet
on the south with brick and plate
glass front that will be a splendid
improvement to that part of the
street. This will give the building am
pie space to accommodate the postof-
flee and the building will be made
modern in accordance with the de-
partment's requirement. The govern
ment viii take ten-year lease on the
new building. The enlarged building
will make fine appearance and will
provide suitable home of the office.
This appears to be very good solu-
ton of the problem. as the location
is as central as it could we'll be.

a surprise. The Moores were instru-
mental in getting up party for the
Mowatts who leave soon for Califor-
MIA, and the Mowatts were invited to
surprise party on "Dinty' and Mrs.
Moore. At the last moment difficulty
was found in locating Mr.. and Mrs.
Moore, but they were finally discov-
cred at home in the south part Of
town. Each Shriner responded to a
toast and much laughter was caused
by the story told by G. H. Flint in
which DR.. Mowatt, bear, and bull
moose figured prominently.

A well attended meeting was held
at the Sherman sample room last
night with the audience made up of

SOMEBODY ALWAYS
TAKING The JOY
OUT OF OUR LIFE
CLAUDE MOORE SEWERS CON-
NECTION WITH THE SHEER
MAN-FRIENDS MOURN

We are going to lose 'Dinty," and
we don't know of a person in the
community who is not sorry. 1t was
surprise and a shock to his busi-
ness associates to learn that Claude
Moore was about to retire from the
management of the Sherman Hotel.
1t hardly seems possible and makes
one doubt if the town will ever be
the same again. Claude is a man out
of a hundred-the real thing, the
true western type of hustler, booster
and friend. He was heart and soul in
his work and had made the Sherman
popular all over the Northwest
made it one of the city's important
assets.
Claude is one of the best friends
and best boosters Wolf Point ever
had. Besides being full of pep and
originality, he is broad guaged, gen
erous, and willing always there"
when needed, gifted with capacity
for any job. The hale and genial
manner, the ready wit, the vim that
belongs exclusively to youth are his.
We were always glad to see him
coming or have him near. Half a
dozen like him would make a Wolf
Point out of most any village that
ever slumbered on the prairies.
Claude breads the thought of leav-
ing. q never knew town or bunch
of people I liked as well, and prob
ably never WILL" was his comment.
"The old bunch was always there
when there was something to be put
over"
Claude and Mrs. Moore felt they
could not endure the ordeal of the
farewell party gotten up by the Shrin
ers and other friends, and mentioned
in another story, tried to hide away
but were discovered and brought
home. The farewell message to his
pals was written by Mr.. Moore and
given to w. E. Rae.

party and pick berries. There is some
little pitch to the landing at the fer
ry and as Curran started to make the
boat the ferryman noticed that ne
lost control. When the car struck the
ferry it was running wild and when
it struck the apron it plowed through
and tipped off into the river. The
car showed after it was taken from
the river that the gears were in low
speed and that the brake was not set.
This strengthens the theory that Cur
ran lost control of his car as it start
ed down the landing to the ferry.
Curran was one of the pioneers
of northern Montana.
He came to this country in 1881.
He was about 48 years of age. The
two children drowned with their faith
er were, Hugh, IA years old, and
Alma, years old. Mrs. Schwartz,
who is the wife of farmer living
north of here, was 25 years of age.
Curran was interested in banking and
was one of the leading farmers in this
part Of the country. His brother,
John Curran, is assessor of Roose-
welt county.

In a shocking accident at the
Brockton ferry landing Wednesday
morning, Archie Curran, a banker
and farmer, and two of his small
children and Mrs. Schwartz were
drowned when an automobile in which
they were riding plunged off ferry
boat into the Missouri river. There
were six people in the car but Mrs.
Mrs. Archie Curran and Mrs. Will
liam Linderfield were rescued by
ferry hands. AS the car dipped off the
boat Mrs. Curran and Mrs Linder-
field jumped and were saved from
drowning by the current which swept
them above the surface of the water.
The four bodies have not been re-
covered and old riversmen declare
that it may be days before they are
found. The car was recovered after
townspeople had arrived with drag
and graphing hooks and worked for
three hours. The bodies were not in
the car and the theory is that the
currant washed them down the river.
The accident happened about 10
O'Clock while the Currans were bound
for the south side to have a picnic

BIG CUT PRICE SALE
NOW ON AT THE GLOBE

The Globe, one of the pioneer es-
tablishments of the city, is using a
double page in the Herald this week
to advertise a great "Shovel En-
Out" sale. The partnership between
John F. Cook and Perry A. Campbell
was recently dissolved. The Globe
Shoe & Clothing Company has been
incorporated and two new men. w.
E. Rae and Sam Clark, have become
interested, Mr.. Rae going into the
store to assist Mr.. Cook in conducting
the business.
The change is the occasion Of a
three-weeks sale to reduce the big
stock. A perusal of the prices made
will convince anyone who compares
them with big city prices that we
have a decided advantage over city
folks in the matter of the cost of
clothing.
