Wolf Point Man
Given Stiff Sentence

Mention was made In last weeks
issue of the arrest of Helge Johnson
of this city, charged with rape, the
complaining witness being his four
teen year old daughter.
In his arraignment before Judge
Gordon last week, Johnson plead not
guilty to the charge and was bound
over to the district court under bonds
same he was taken to Mondak and
placed in the county jail for safe keep
ing.
/. When arraigned before Judge Conner
on Tuesday OF this week, and being
confronted with mass Of condem-
ming evidenne. he plead guilty. In
passing sentence on johnson, Judge
Conner severely scored the man, cal
ling attention to the heiniousness OF
the crime which he felt merited pun
ishment as severe as the law allowed.
We understand Judge Conner regret
ted the fact that the limitations of the
law did not allow him to impose
sentence even more severe on the
fiend. He was given an indeterminate
sentence of from 491z to 80 years in
the state penitentiary.
The crime to which Johnson confes-
sed is of such a sordid and heinious
nature that general satisfaction is felt
over the punishment that has been
meted out to him. According to the
confession, Johnson first forced his
attentions on his daughter when the
latter was only ten years old, since
which time the crime has been COM
mftted at freQuent intervals.
In the interests OF justice, men Of
Johnson's calibre cannot be dealt
with too severely and the sentence
imposed upon hi mby Judge Conner
meets with the hearty approval OF our
cItizens.-Wolf Point Promoter.

Auto Backs Off Ferry :
Young Woman browns
GiIIa Anderson Is Drowned In Waters
of Missouri River When Automo
bile Goes Overheard

The people of Wolf Point were
greatly shocked by the news of the
tragedy which occurred at about five
o'clock Wednesday afternoon and re-
suited In the drowning of Miss Gilla
Anderson, 20 years old.
The accident which resulted in
the death OF this young lady is almost
a duplicate of the recent tragedy at
Brockton when four people were
drowned and happened when an aut-
omobile in which Miss Anderson was
seated backed off the ferry into the
Missouri rivr. The automobile was
owned by Henry Pipal, who resides
about IL miles southwest of town.
Earlier that day, Miss Anderson's s
little step-brother had sustained a
painful injury to one of his fingers
and Mr. Pipal had taken them into
town to consult a doctor, and was
on the way home when the accident
occurred.
The ferry had crossed the river
and Mr.. Ptpal started cranking the
cara Maxwell roadster-which in
some manner had been thrown into
reverse gear. The machine immed-
lately backed up against the apron
OF the ferry with such force as to
break the ropes holding same and
dropped into the water, which at this
point Is about IL feet deep. 1t is
said by those who witnessed the
accident that Miss Anderson rnade
an attempt to get out of the car,
but because of the top being up, this
this wAs impossible. 1t Is evident,
however, that she was able to lift
her little brother out as he came up
just q moment after the car had
sunk, and was rescued.
Every effort was made to rescue
the girl, but it was soon realized
that the waters had claimed her as
a victim. Seines were used and ex-
pert divers made repeated efforts to
locate the body, but this proved
without results until noon today,
when it was located about 80 or 40
rods from the scene of the accident
and brought to the top.
Miss Anderson was the daughter
of Mrs. Adolph Wig, and was a quiet,
unassuming young lady. She is
sister of Misses Marie, Lueilt and
Inga Anderson of this city, and the
eldest in the family. She had always
remained at home to help care
for her younger brothers and sisters
and was not as we'll known in this
city as are her sisters.
The funeral will be held at 80
o'clock Saturday afternoon from, the
Presbyterian church and will be in
charge of Rev. A. Hendrickson. The
body will be laid to rest in Greenwood
cemetery.
The untimely death OF this young
lady has caused profound sorrow
among the many friends OF the family
in this city and across the river and
sincere sympathy is extended TO those
whom 1t has robbed Of Il sister and
daughter.
Mr.. Plrsi is grief stricken over
the accident and his part in tho az
fair. He IS positive thct when he
stopped tue car that it was in low
gear anu can not account for the
manner ~ which 1t was thrown into
reverse. 40 IL held blais.e.ess in 'ba
matter. The accident rs just ono
more OF the tragedies that could not
more of the tragedies that could not
be avoided.--Wolf Point Promoter.

The most important and cheering
news that we have had to report to
our many readers for long time is
that the County Seat question in Nc
Cone county is settled and that it will
remain at Circle. The campaign during
the last two weeks was hot one in
view of the fact that the question was
to be settled permanently and lot of
hard work was done by both the Circle
and Vida forces. When election day
finally arrived both towns were conf
dent of victory, and as the returns
came in the race proved to be a real
exciting one at times. However the
final unofficial returns put Circle in
the lead by Al votes, the total vote
cast for county seat being 2183 votes
of which Circle received 1112 and Vida
1911.
The southern portion of the county
went practically solid for Circle, the
only precinct in the section which
gave Vida any support to speak of was
Brockway where Vida polled 20 votes
out of the 100 cast, Circle receiving 80.
The Northeastern portion of the coun
ty which is tributary to Vida went
solid for that place while the North
central and western portion of the
county was divided between the two
towns.
When the complete returns on
county seat were finally obtained on
Thursday night, there naturally was
great rejoicing in Circle over the vic
tory, and our citizens are indeed ap-
preciative of the loyal support given
Circle during the campaign, and will
endeavor to prove herself worthy of
the honor
Warren G. Harding will be the next
President of the United States. That
in brief is the result of Tuesdays

WHEAT HEDGING HAD
 BEARISH EFFECT IN PIT
Country Offerings of the Staple Are
 Reported to Be Liberal Again
By Associated Press

Chicago, October 7-Wheat turned downward in price at the last today after show of strength during the first part of the session. Hedging here against pur chasing in the southwest had a bearish effect. The close was heavy, quarter cent to half cent net lower; March, $l.s51s to S196.
 Corn finished 1% cents off to one-halr cent gain. Oats unchanged to half a cent higher, and provisions at an advance Of 15 to 45 cents.
 Temporary absence of selling pressure rather than any unusual demand was plainly responsible for the gains that for awhile were scored in the wheat market The backwardness of sellers was in uurn ascribed largely to uncertainties asso- clated with advocacy of an embargo on imports of Canadian grain and with efforts of domestic farmers for concerted refusal of current prices. Later, however, signs of persistent hedging were evident, and 1t was said country offerings had again become fairly liberal Besides ex- port brokers were almost unanimous, there was no foreign buying in the United States and some of them asserted that instead Winnipeg was getting the bulk of business with Europe.
 Corn and oats were steadied by small ness of receipts.
 Higher quotations on hogs steadied pro- visions.

not received the recognition which it should have obtained fof this almost staggering foreign trade has been car ried on while a presidential campaign was in progress. Whatever the ex- citement occasioned by this campaign may be, it has not been strong enough to demoralize business. Customarily business slackens a little while presi- dential politics are pending. But the slackening in domestic trade this fall cannot be referred to politics, for 1t would have taken place if there were no political campaign. Some assume that maintenance of our foreign trade and especially the Increase of our i'm ports justify the belief that the minds Of the voters were already made up when the campaign began, but not un- til the day after election will it be known whether this was true or not. At all events, a foreign trade in pres idential year which aggregates four teen billion dollars does not reflect any very demoralized political condi- tions in the United States
 THE ENORMOUS IMPORTS
 This year we shall have imported from other nations commodities of the value of six billion dollars Six years ago our imports were valued at about two billions. This year we shall have exported commodities valued in excess of eight billion dollars, whereas the highest export record made by the United States in any year before the war was two and one half billions Apparently there is to be trade bal ance this year of two billions, so that unless the suspended credits of which tke federal reserve board speaks have been considerably reduced this year. the total will amount to about five billions However, this Is all conjec- ture. The situation puzzles our ablest financiers and some of the industrial leaders confess that they do not un- derstand it, although they do recog- rize the accuracy of the figures.
 The other day President Farrell. of the United States Steel Corporation. while speaking upon our foreign trade, trade be maintained and increased if cur industries are to be prosperous. Apparently we are maintaining and in- creasing 1t, although in far different manner from the one that might have been predicted six years ago. We have cut down our exports of foodstuffs but have been importing certain kinds of foodstuffs in enormous quantities On the other hand. we are exporting more and more commodities which are the products of our manufacturing in- dustries. In other words manufac- lures have far surpassed our exports Of agricultural products, including cot ton The estimate is that food this year will form only one-fourth. manu- factured material another fourth of our exports, while complete manufactured articles will make up one-half of the | total, so that if to complete manufac- tured products manufacturing material be added, these products of our fac | tories will make up three fourths of our total exports. But how long the rest. of the world will be approaching the American markets for manufac- tured material is something that no one can predict.

 Continued favorable weather over the belt and reports of weakness and lower prices in finished goods market resulted in losses of r to 37 points in the early trading, after which the tone turned strong on reports from interior spot markets that a considerable October short spot interest had to be filled and that buyers were finding difficulty in operating because producers had with drawn their offerings. At this stage market gossip was that mills were buy ing contracts.
 In the late trading the market heard the report from New England that one of the largest hosfAry mills in the world was about to shut down for an in- definite period and sharp break fol- lowed. which carried prices off to new low levels for the day.

To get your price, refuse to sell.
 Buyers need the cotton and they have got to get it from you. Pay no atten- ton to market fluctuations and bear propaganda. Realize that this is the sixth consecutive short cotton crop the world has seen. There is little chance for a top crop this year. The crop is very late in some sections. Early frosts and abandonment of crops will unquestionably reduce the indicated yield further; certainly snaps, bellies, and low-grade cotton will not be gath cred this year. Therefore, we serious
