COMMUNITY FAIR The
FIRST WEEK in SEPT.

To insure getting the exhibits to
the State Fair in time it has been
found necessary to switch the dates
of the Wolf Point Community Fair
back to the original plan, the last
part of the first week in September.
The Roosevelt county exhibits will
be taken to Helena by freight in
stead of express and must be shipped
several days in advance of the State
Fair opening date which is Septem-
Der 13. The County Fair at Poplar
comes the week after the State Fair.
Make your plans to exhibit some
thing at the Community Fair and at
tend yourself. A fair gives the best
chance for country and town people
to work together for something of
mutual interest. Let's make the
first one so good that the idea will
take root and flourish.

McALLEN FIRE SALE
ATTRACTS BIG CROWDS

Dan McAllen & Company, having
reached settlement with the insur-
ance adjusters, are now converting
into cash the salvage left from the
fire that destroyed all but $4,000 of
their mammoth stock the morning of
July 1st.
A great Fire Sale was begun today
to dispose of what remains of the
numerous lines of merchandise car
ried in stock. Many articles, parti-
cularly on the dry goods side are
damaged only by smoke and will, no
doubt, be rare bargains. 1t is ex-
pected that only a short time will
suffice to close out what was left by
the fire. Large crowds were wait
ing before the doors were opened.
The company has not announced
its intentions for the future.

WINTER OF ADVENTURE
In THE FROZEN NORTH

Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Beebe of Bel
field, N. D. were guests at the home
Of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Flint a few
days the past week. They are travel
ing by auto and will visit Yellowstone
Park where they will meet Mr. and
Mrs. c. w. Scharf, who have been
making Wolf Point their home for
several months. The two couples
will then tour western Montana and
probably locate at some point in that
end of the state.
Last winter with companion, Mr..
Beebe spent six months in the Peace
River country. The two men travel
ed on foot some 200 miles north from
Edmonton and established a camp in
the wilds. They sought the adven-
ture of a winter in the Frozen
North and trapped fur to pay the
expenses of the trip, and hunted
game to supplement their food supply
The winter fully bore out the tradi-
tions of that country and held them
in its grip for six months, entirely
cut off from civilization.
Snow fell to a depth of six feet
and the Peace River froze so deep
that it did not open up until the 18th
of May. Besides mink and muskrats
they succeeded in taking some of the
larger fur bearers, such as otter, bea-
yer, martin and lynx: and their catch
included one fisher, rare, small ami
NAL of the weasel family, whose skin
brought S115., although not much
more than foot long. In all their
furs brought them $500.
The return trip was made in boat
Of their own building, the course of
the river taking the trappers a dis
tance of 500 miles. At one place
five days hard work was necessary
to make a portage around a rapids.
They arrived home safe, feeling that
the adventure was a success and that
it had brought them all the thrills and
experience they had anticipated.

The GENTLE ART, OF
GETTING AWAY WITH IT

Bill Taylor, the Herald's linotype
operator and foreman, is still confn-
ed to his home by sickness, but is
making steady progress toward
health and hopes to get back on the
job next week, part time at least.
Engineering near printerless print
shop and getting by with a fair run
of business is quite a game C. c..
Jester has kindly assisted few ev-
enings, and Mrs. Marshall as sub
operator and Geo. Hagen as sub
printer are decidedly there when it
comes to emergencies. The paper
will be few hours late but our read
ers will find the usual II pages of
local and state news and advertising.

YOUR COFFEE ROASTED
WHILE YOU WAIT

The Home Meat Market has in
stalled splendid piece of equipment
and one that is novelty, in the way
of a coffee roaster and grinder. The
machine is operated by electricity
and is the latest type. In about three
quarters of an hour green coffee
berries can be made ready to put in
to the percolator. 1t takes US back
to the good old days when father
brought great big package of green
coffee Ga dollars worth) from town
and mother roasted it in a drip pan
in the oven, stirring it frequently
with long spoon. Then one of the
children put on an apron Ito catch
the flying pieces and ground some
in the coffee mill. No percolators
then, just big tin pot, but mother
used an egg to clarity it. There was
cream that came from cows, not cans
to put in it in unstinted quantities.
Two of those large farm cups of cof-
fee were considered enough for a
small boy, and about four of those
six-inch twisted doughnuts with 5
cent sugar in them) to go with them
How is that?-Oh, yes, we noticed
that the papers are talking of an an
ticipated raise Of is per cent in
freight rates. But why disturb
pleasant dream?"

REPORTS INDICATE
GOOD AVERAGE CROP

The past week has not caused any
notable change in crop conditions.
The weather has been extremely hot,
which was not good condition for
small grain, but to offset that there
were some fine showers over con-
siderable portion of the country trl-
butary to this city. Very little rain
fell Just here, but showers are repor-
ted in some sections south, and early
Wednesday morning there was a
heavy storm that appeared to form
to the west and swing to the north
and break there. From about three
miles north to the Cottonwood
good rain that wet down three inches
or more is reported. In the Piety
Hill district there was some hail but
the damage is said to be slight. The
eastern portion of the county is said
to have suffered from destructive,
hail which reached into North OAK
ota.
The hot weather has been fine for
corn of which there is an unusual ac-
reage. Today, the weather bureaus
forecast of cooler weather proved
correct, the temperature is down 10
or Is. degrees which, if it continues
for a week will be worth much to
grain just filling.
1t must be admitted that the bum
per crop we hoped for will not be
realized; the pestiferous thistle hav-
ing ruined many late sown fields;
but just now it looks like an average
yield, ranging from nothing to 35
bushels of wheat, fax, to 20, and
hay, forage crops, potatoes and gar
den stuff fairly abundant.

RECOVER BODIES
FROM THE RIVER
ALL OF THE VICTIMS OF THE
BROCKTON CATASTROPHE
HAVE BEEN FOUND

The bodies of all four of the VIC
Tins drowned in the Missouri river
at Brockton, July 18th, when an auto
mobile carrying six passengers ran
off the ferry, have been recovered. An
organized search was carried on Tor
sarelal DAYS rcfcr, the last body,
that of Hugh Cucrar. IA years old,
wos found. The search was conduct
ed by John Curran, county assessor
and brother of Archie Curran, one
of those drowned. The big power
launch of Mr.. Slauson of Wolf Point
was used in the work of trolling the
river. L. M. Clayton, local under
taker, assisted and prepared the bod
les of the first three found.
The body of Archie Curran, who
drove the car was found near the
scene of the accident. Mrs. Schwartz
and little Alma Curran, five years
old. were carried to Culbertson, a
distance of about 40 miles by river,
before the bodies were found. This
is said to have been because their
light, summer clothing held less wat
ter and rendered the bodies more
buoyant. The body of Hugh Curran
was found a short distance below the
ferry landing.
Mr.. Curran and the children We're
buried in the Culbertson cemetery.
The body of Mrs. Schwartz was
shipped to her former home in North
Dakota
The water at the point where the
auto ran over the ferry apron and IN
to the river is Is to 18 feet deep and
the current very swift. The car, 1t
is said. was found to be squarely up
side down but, aside from the effects,
of water, was uninjured, not even
the top being damaged. From an ex-
animation of the car it is believed
that Mr.. Curran, when starting down
the ferry approach, accidentally
pressed the gasoline lever instead of
the brake

HEINEMANN LOOKING FOR TROUBLE AT THE
 SCHEDULE MEETING

NEW ORLEANS. February 2t,- (special)-A. J. Heinemann, president of the New Orleans Baseball Club left here tonight for Atlanta with blood in his eye.
 Heinemann says that he has been treated rather roughly by the sched- ule makers and that he is going to use everything within his power to have them change the schedule so that he will get some more Sunday dates in New Orleans and at least one Sunday date in Atlanta.
 Heinemann says that the schedule as drawn is not fair to the New Or leans team and needs to be changed in several respects He says that the men who made the Schedule have evil dently forgotten that New Orleans is one of the best Sunday towns in the league, and that Atlanta will also probably be one of the best.
 Heinemann is also said to have his optics wide open for first sacker, and report has it that he may sign Graham, the first sacker who was with with Nashville last season. feeling confident that Graham will mako New Orleans a very valuable man. It was also said here that Heinemann had several trades up his sleeve which he might put over with several of the magnates and that there might be a big surprise sprung at the meet ing.
 "Heiney" only laughed when told ot these changes. saying You never can tell what we will do."
