CIRCLE IS WINNER
in CLOSE CONTEST

The question of permanent county
seat appears to have been settled in
our sister county of McCone, barring
errors that might possibly be reveal
ed by the official count or a contest.
Unofficial figures from all of the 35
precincts were gotten together here
today when Anderson of Circle and
John A. Green, of Vida, compared
notes.
Circle is the winner by majority
of Al. The vote on county seat from
the different precincts shown below
is not official, many of the figures be-
ing merely verbal reports, but Mr..
Anderson talked by long distance
with Circle and they were quite GER
tain that their majority was not less
than "a and the figures shown be-
low shows it to be A. The totals
of the two columns are Vida 1888
and Circle 1922.

STRUCK FINE WELL

Mr.. and Mrs. C. H. Winship are
feeling jubilant over the success that
finally crowned their efforts to get
well of good water on their farm
II miles northeast. After a long
series of trying experiences and a
great amount of work and drilling in
different spots on their farm they
finally have well in which there is a
great depth of water of excellent
quality and softness. The vein was
struck at little more than 200 feet
and the water Immediately rose to a
good height in the well. Naturally
the Winships are much pleased to
think that their water-hauling days
are over.

NEARLY COMPLETE
ROOSEVELT TOTALS

The following are the county to-
tails on the county ticket and part of
the state ticket for 81 of the 33 pre-
cincts of the county. The missing
precincts are No.. 21 and No. 7, or
Tunison and Dwyer. Each precinct
casts little more than 40 votes, the
Tunison vote being about an even
break and the Dwyer vote being al
most solid for the League candidates.
1t is understood, however, that the
vote in these precincts is included in
Weinrich, which leaves Weinrich
the totals given for Anderson and
ahead on the total vote of the county
by six.

REPUBLICANS WIN,
NATION And STATE
PROGRESSIVE FORCES SHOWED
UNDER BY UNPRECEDENT-
ED MAJORITIES

A reactionary tidal wave such as
this country has seldom if ever seen
swept from coast to coast on cleo
tion day. The Republican party rode
/ back into power on the crest of that
wave. Senator Harding was elected
president by a popular vote of tre-
mendous proportions. He carried at
least 35 states. The Republicans
gain several senators and a large
number of representatives. After
March 4th, next, they will be in com
plete control of the government.
In Montana the Republican victory
is not so overwhelming as in many
states, but Dixon's majority over
Wheeler will be large and Harding
will have nearly 10000 over Cox.
Considering the way other candidates
ran, McCusker, Wolf Points candi-
date for congress, showed great
strength but has lost to Riddick.
In the, county the candidates on
the Republican ticket were all elect
ed with the possible exception of
Weinrich for commissioner There
was much Scratching" and majori-
ties vary from half dozen votes
to 1000.
In Sheridan county the Farmer
Labor ticket won from top 70 bottom,
district judge but Harding
carried the county by more than two
to one. In McCone county most of
the Farmer-Labor candidates appear
to have won.
In North Dakota the Non-partisan
League still holds the fort, re-elect-
G Frazier governor and sending Doc
or E. F. Ladd to the United States
enate.

MRS. JOHN E. DAHL

Mrs. John E. Dahl died at hel
home between Volt and Lustre early
Tuesday morning after an illness
that began last August. A few weeks
ago she was taken to Rochester,
Mimi, in the hope that an operation
could be performed but the doctors
found that nothing could be done for
her. Besides the husband, several
children survive, all being grown.
Mr.. Dahl was in Wolf Point Tuesday
morning and said the body would be
taken to the former home in Kansas
for burial. The family has the sin
cere sympathy of neighbors and ac-
quaintances.

FIREMEN Are HOSTS
TO CITY OFFICIALS

Wolf Points new fire station ant
city office was the scene of a yer,
pleasant affair Wednesday nigh
when Chief C. L. Smith and the
members of the fire department helC
a social session at the end of theil
regular meeting and had as guests
the mayor and city council, the of
ficers of the commercial club, city
attorney Marion, Chief of Police
Kearney, Judge Gordon and Peter
Lenz, the manager of the pumping
station, and Ole Erickson, an ex-
fireman. Lunch was served, smokes
passed and short talks made by near
ly everyone present.
The officials and other guests gave
unstinted praise to the faithful eff
forts of Chief Smith and the mem
bers of his department which have
resulted in giving the city one of the
most efficient departments of any
city of this class in the state. The
enlarged building provides housing
for the motor truck and chemical,
sleeping quarters for three members
of the department, who will always
be on the spot to answer alarms, and
also very convenient Office for the
city clerk that will serve as a meet
ing place for the city council.
One of the principal objects that
Chief Smith had in having these Of
ficers and guests meet with the de-
partment was to bring before them
the desirability of organizing the city
for fire prevention. The school
as well as adult citizens,
will be organized, educated and en-
listed for the work of cleaning up the
city and keeping it as clear as pos
slble of unnecessary fire hazards. |
The Chief wishes to enter Wolf Point |
in the great contest extending over
the Pacific states district. A hand
some fre-prevention trophy is offered i
to the city that can show itself to be
N the best condition with reference
20 fire prevention. The governors of
he eight Pacific states have given
heir full endorsement Of the contest
Zach presenting a beautiful Ameri-
IAN flag to be given to the school in
lis state which shows the greatest
lctivity in fire prevention. Anaconda
Won the trophy at the end Of the first
,eriod of the contest over all the big
oast cities.
Besides the honor of winning the
'rizes, everybody must admit that
his work is of the highest impor-
ance and should receive united sup
ort.

The Ticket.


On the tickets returns in McCone
county were not sufficiently complete
at the time this is printed to make
sure Of the result in some cases, but
in general it was stated that the Re-
publican state and national tickets
were running much stronger than ex-
pected. On the county ticket good
many of the League candidates won
out. Delbert Rhodes is the winner
over Bawden for commissioner;
Peter Rorvick was elected senator
over Boardman; Hoover is said to be
winner for county attorney and Lind
for commissioner. Judge Hurley car
ried McCone county for district
judge, but Lieper is said to be the

Service Paramount

Under the heading "Everybody's
Business" in a recent issue of the
Saturday Evening Post Floyd w.
Parsons points out, in reference to
the electric power and light industry,
that when the utilities are crippled
in their operation through unfair
treatment, the local communities
that are served must suffer as con-
sequence"
In this day nobody expects to get
something for nothing. People are
fair minded enough to be willing to
pay for service, and cheap service is
not wanted at the expense Of eff
cheney.
Government statistics show that
the average increase In electric pow
er and light rates is but slightly in
excess of IL per cent, as compared
with increases Of from 65 per cent
to $50 per cent in practically all
other items entering into community
life. And yet the costs of giving
this electric service have increased
along with the costs of manufactur-
ling In other lines.
[ n 6ICdg uSdl "a bAS PuoA4I p O040S-
tion to consistent rates for electric
service rates may be accounted for
in the public's almost universal be-
lief that public utilities are in the
grasp Of the "big-money" interests
of the country. This is a false be-
lief, as is shown by the fact brought
out by Mr. Parsons that over 1,40O,-
900 citizens of this country own Sc
curities of the electric light and pow
er industry. In addition, the bene-
fieiaries of the fifty-odd million life
insurance policies in force are inter.
ested in the electric industry, because
approximately one-third of the tota
assets of American life insurance
companies is invested in public utili
r ty stocks and bonds. And likewise
! the twenty-seven million bank depos
itors are indirectly interested.
It would seem, therefore, that {
!. considerable number of us are finan
cially interested in the success OF tn,
d electric light and power industry
Let us not step on our own toes b.

a in the matter of adequate rates 70

I'm NOT GREAT"
SAYS NAzINovA

Despite the fact that she has been
hailed as the greatest actress on the
American stage today, Nazimova,
whose latest screen production Bill
lions" will be shown at the Gen on
Saturday. January 1st, is still as mo-
dest as the day when she had her
first triumph in New York. At that
time her artistry and sheer emotion
al power, coupled with her beauty,
compelled metropolitan dramatic
critics and exacting theatre-goers to
admit that she was something new
and great to the American stage.
This opinion OF course she knew. but
when 1t was repeated to her Nazimo-
vo protested:
81 am not great. / am not even
well known. even in Russia. / have
played in st. Petersburg only one sea-
son. In Moscow and In some of the
smaller towns they like me q little,
I think"
Now on the screen her popularity
and reputation have reached every
part Of the world.
