only miles from the Dakota line Wolf Point is in the
wide west portion much to both the geographical
center and the center Of population.
Economy Favors Wolf Point
Considered on the basis of economy to the county,
Wolf Point has all the best of it. AS everyone knows the
mileage of many people to and from the county seat must
be paid by the county, and with the largest and second
largest towns located in the portion and the great
Ter portion of the population there the expense Of paying
mileage to the county seat in the east end would be far
in of what it would be if the county seat in
the largest town in the WIDE populous portion of the
ty and the people of the small towns and the po
tion of the county brought to the big townWof
Point After few years the difference in population of
the parts Of the county certain to be very marked
and the consequent difference is expense to both the
county and the individuals would be correspondingly
marked The difference would still be strongly in Wolf
Points favor if Culberson should chance become the
candidate of the east end
City, Not Village
Facilities. In facilities for living and transacting
business Wolf Point is far in the lead of Bainvle any
other town in the county This fact has been we'll adver
ised and concusively proven Bainvle has just about
such Improvements as would be expected in town of
400 Wolf Point is modern city with municipal and
private improvements par with what is usually found
in city of 5000 to 10000 Wolf Point has excellent
schools for the children of those who would have to live
here has every facility for taking of transient peo
pie who would be called to the county seat 1t has well
equipped and efficient fire department to protect county
records and county property, which, in county
always or less exposed to the danger of fire.
An Atmosphere of Fairness
One of the best things Wolf Point has to offer is its
welknown policy of liberay and fairness which makes
people of all occupations feel at home and welcome in the
,ity. F
The other towns in the county seat have tried
lard to make light of the Improvements that Wolf Point
las been advertising qualifying her for county seat
They seek to convey the public that fine large hotels
modern theatres audtoriums bands, orchestras and a
many other essentials to comfort and pleasure, which
Wolf Point has pictured and described have bearing
the question of where the county seat shall be located
they apparently believe that does not matter what kind
# town the farmer the visitor from distance finds
msef in when he goes the county seat of county
hey believe that the county seat is political
um for which game of politics is played, and that
not matter how the public is served by the town that
shrewd enough to win the game. OF
Appeals to Whole County 81
Wolf Point calls upon the and women voters of :
whole county, not the west portion alone to decide M
ich Of these towns will best the caunty its
eat of government which will be the greater asset to the
0uny and which in the long run will bring the greater
