ot,t water, should have it. But as
matters now stand a great many OF
the "other fellows" must go without,
even though they are helping pay for
the present plant.
In a nut she'll: The rapid growth
of the city has rendered the capacity
of the present pumping plant and
tank wholly inadequate to the needs
of even the south part of town. All
parts of the corporation must share
the obligations of all water bonds,
so all parts should receive the benefit
impartially. The present water sup
ply is unsafe as fire protection, even
where the mains extend. An ade-
quate water supply would reduce in
surance rates. With plenty Of wa
ter, at a low rate, needed industries
such as a creamery and steam laun-
dry would be more likely to locate
here.
With the present inadequate and
expensive water system, the depart
ment has to be partly supported by
a tax levy. With an enlarged and i'm
proved system, taxes would be re-
duced because the department would
be selfsupporting and yield some
revenue toward the payment of the
bonds.
The water question is of special
concern to Northsiders, who should
look out for their interests at both
the city and bond election. Regis

FERRY SCHEDULE
UNDER DISCUSSION
NEW RATES MAIN SUBJECT AT
GENERAL COMMERCIAL
CLUB MEETING

The March general meeting of the
Commercial club, held in the Sher-
man sample rooms Tuesday night,
was attended by fair number and
was a strictly business session. Vice
president C. o. Moore presided. Dis
cussion of the question of ferry rates
for this season took up the greater
part of the time.
Mr.. Littlefeld, owner of the White
City, had represented to the club Of
ficials that he could not operate his
boat this season at the old rates,
claiming that for the time he has
been here, something over two
years, the operating expenses have
been in excess of his receipts by
thousand dollars. The cost of ev-
erything connected with his business,
Mr.. Littlefield declares, has increased
greatly, the same as in other lines
of business. The following is the
schedule proposed. The first figures
showing the former charge and the
second figures the proposed new
charge:

FIRE DESTROYS HOME

The home of Mrs. Mary Belcher
was practically destroyed by fire
early Monday morning. The fire was
started by the overturning of ker-
osene lamp and spread so rapidly
through the small building that the
family were able to save very little
besides the clothing they were wear
ing. There was some delay in turn
ing in the alarm, which gave the fire
such start that the department
could save very little after its arriv-
al The residence was small one
on Sixth avenue near Dawson.
Mrs. Belcher had the house and
its contents insured for $500, less
than enough to cover the loss.

A special meeting of Leonard
Dethman Post, American Legion,
was held Tuesday evening to consid-
er the matter of attending Legion
encampment to be held during the

pected, will be attended by thirty or
more posts in Montana and North
Dakota. E. ]. Whitehead and Fay
Bartholomew were chosen to attend
the meeting to be held at Williston,
at which arrangements will be made
for the big event.

City Ballot

Once more the attention of citi-
zens is called to the four elections
that occur in April First, there is
election for school district No. As to
be held Saturday, April 3, at the
/ Southside school building. One mem
Der of the board of school trustees
is to be elected to succeed John F.
Cook, whose term expires. The vo-
ters will find on the ballot the names
of T. H. Fox and L. A. Kragrud.
Both men are well known, Mr.. Krag-
rud being a furniture dealer and Mr..
Fox a railroad man, holding the re-
sponsible position of chief dispatch
er. Mr.. Fox resides in ward two
on Edgar street at Fifth avenue.
City Election
On Monday, April 5, occurs the
city election, when mayor and four
aldermen will be chosen. For mayor
two candidates are in the field, the
present incumbent, o. T. Stennes,
and Frank Smith. In the first ward,
L. A. Kragrud is unopposed for
member of the council to succeed H.
B. Tyson, whose term expires. In
the second ward, there are two OPP
posing candidates, w. L. Young and
w. B. Everett. In the third ward,
Ed Nichol, R. G. Ferguson and Bert

Ferguson and Lynn ere running or

in the first ward, and on
ly one opponent with two places to
fill in the third ward, the laboring
people of the city are certain of be-
ing represented by at least two mem
bers of the city council. 1t is fitting
and just that the laboring men and
population of the city should
nave representation and it is hope
ful sign for continued good govern
nent to have them take an active
interest in city affairs.
For Mayor
The Herald has no word to say
Igainst any of the candidates, but
n the matter of choosing a mayor,
would seem to be justice and good
Judgment to keep Mayor Stennes in
he position for another term. Mr..
'tennes has served but part of a

LAST CHANCE TO
REGISTER, ON SAT.
WATER BOND ELECTION APRIL
1o-URGENT NEED OF MORE
WATER FOR CITY

Have you registered for the water
bond election? If you are an owner
of real estate, you are qualified to
vote at the special election called for
Saturday, April 10, to decide the
question of issuing bonds in the sum
of fifty thousand dollars to increase
the capacity of the city water plant
and extend the mains so that water
service may be more equally distri-
buted over the city. If you wish to
vote at this election, you should reg
lister, and there is just one oppor-
tunity remaining.
March 20 and 80 were registration
days and a small number registered
with Judge Gordon, the appointed
registrar. Saturday, April 3, the
lists of those who registered will be
open for inspection at the registrars
office, and any who desire to register
may do so.
Notwithstanding the fact that nu-
merous articles of considerable
length, dealing with the water ques-
ton and the bond election, have ap-
peared in several issues of both the
Promoter and The Herald, it appears
that some were unaware that an cleo
tion on the water question was pend
ing The city officials have taken the
utmost pains to give the matter all
possible publicity and have carried
on the necessary proceedings strictly
to law and the city ordi-
nances.
Ordinance No. 40, drawn in COM
pliance with state law, provides in
detail the manner of registering vo-
ters for special elections. This or
dinance will be found in full in this
issue.
If you are qualified to vote, and
desire to vote, and have not register
ed, there is one more opportunity for
you at Judge Gordon's Office Satur-
lay, April 8, between the hours of !
nine a. M, and nine p. m.
More Water Argument
There can scarcely be a doubt /
hat the water bonds will carry, but
,or the benefit of any voters who
nay be undecided The Herald feels
t is public duty to recite a few of
he many important reasons why

ives. The editor has city water on

Mr.. and Mrs. Roland Shaw return

JOLLY SHRINERS
FROM EAST, WEST
FIRST ANNUAL" OF LOCAL
SHRINE CLUB CALLS MANY
BROTHERS TO CITY
FUN RULES THE DAY
Street Stunts, Theatre Party, Big
Banquet and Ball at the
Sherman Hotel

The first annual meeting and ban.
quet of the Wolf Point Shrine Club
and visiting shriners is in full swing
today. Large delegations of Shrine
members and their wives are in at
tendance from as far west as Havre
and east to Williston. Numerous
members from more distant points
also find it convenient to join the
bunch. A shrine club meeting is al
ways sure sign of a good time for
everybody who attends, and this first
affair of the Wolf Point club is GER
tainly no exception. All through
the day, professions attended by fun
making stunts have been witnessed
on the streets. With the inevitable
fez on their heads and liberal appli-
cations of war paint on their faces,
many of them dressed in clown
bloomers of the gayest hues and the
loudest patterns, the shriners and
their ladies are out for a good time.
Quality Goods"
No. l came in about on time and
was met by large local delegation
and escorted to the Sherman. E. ].
Rice was the general superintendent
of transportation. His slogan was,
Nobody walks" To make good on
this proposition, he had contrived
rig that will have to remain nameless
but consisted mostly of lumber, half
a dozen wheels and plenty of seats.
For motive power there was a large
white horse and an undersized mule,
a combination that proved entirely
successful and worked patiently to
take the passengers wherever they
wished to go. The train from the
west did not arrive until after two
o'clock, which gave the bunch al
ready in the city time to work up en-
ception for their western brothers.
The Wolf Point band turned out to
meet No. 2 and headed the long pro-
cession from the station to the Sher-
man, which was, of course, head
quarters. The lobby was the scene
of many practical jokes and much |
fun. Many were given a
ride on the mule, and most everyone,
even some outsiders, tried the "elec-
trio" chair
Banquet and Ball
During the latter part of the af-
ternoon the whole bunch attended
the matinee at the Liberty theatre
where the well-known comedy, "Are
You Mason?" was presented on
the screen.
At 6:30 the banquet will be serv-
ed. The tables have been set in the
spacious sample room, as the dining
room is in use for the cafes regular
5rade. The tables have been pret-
lily decorated, with yellow and white
as the color scheme. Vases of cut
lowers at frequent intervals height

There was free discussion of the
matter and comparisons were made
with the charges at other points
along the river. 1t was stated by
that the charges made by the Mon
dak ferry were as high last year as
those proposed by the Wolf Point
ferry, and in fact, on some items,
higher. While it was deplored that
Southside farmers should be put to
increased expense at this time, no
alternative could be seen, if Mr..
Littlefeld was unable to operate his
boat at the old rates. Securing an
other efficient ferry of good capacity
to operate at the old rates would not
be an easy matter, it was thought.
1t was voted that the new schedule
be recommended to the trustees of
the bridge company with whom the
ferry makes its contracts.
Advertising
Secretary Foor brought up the
matter of advertising, explaining
that the directors were planning pub
licity matter and suggestions were
needed. Several good suggestions
were offered, including the idea of
playing up the prospects and posi-
bilities of Wolf Point oil fields. Mr..
Foor explained that the Roosevelt
Highway association was preparing
to publish booklets advertising the
country along the route, and that
Wolf Point would be allowed space
in the books which would be given
nationwide distribution. He also |
that it was necessary to
adopt a design to be used as mark
er along the Powder River trail from
Moose Jaw to Denver, which is spon-
;ered and promoted by the local
club. A suggestion that had already
3een offered, to use the figure of a
,ucking broncho and rider, was well
hought of, and it was decided to go
ahead and secure suitable design

CLUB EFFORTS

land surrounding the corporate lin.

vately owned.

the agency at Poplar, has been very
kind and helpful in assisting Secre-
tary Foor with the business, which
has required vast amount of cor
The Major was here
Monday and met with some of the
club officials and reported the latest
results, which were very gratifying.
The departmnt has recommended
that an eighty-acre tract, adjoining
the Great Northern right of way on
the south and the original townsite
on the east, be plated and opened
after the manner of ''First Addition"
south of the original plat This tract
to the east includes the ground
where the mill stands. 1t is partic-

 There is no doubt about it." said MT. Kramer when asked if he really thought the country could be made bone dry in fact as well as in written law. 'T am not going to fool myself into believing that we can eliminate all the secret and private stills in the country, or keep every farmer from letting sweet cider turn hard. We don't purpose to make laughing-stocks of ourselves or incur the personal hatred of people everywhere by raid ing kitchens, sleuthing cellars, smell ing of chimneys and looking for a still in every tea-kettle."

 The bill that is to be introduced by Senator New giving Alaska a govern ment by 8 resident central committee sounds good. If the provisions of the bill will allow the miles of red tape to be unwound and the government of the territory by overlapping bureaus stopped, it will without doubt be a good thing for Alaska.-Seward Gate way.
 It has been a long winter, but 1t has been one of the finest winters our town has known. Because the snow is here today, the people are prone to believe that there is lots ot winter ahead of us yet, although such is not the case. Everybody in our town knows that they never yet saw May come with walks and streets covered with snow or iceAa and all also know that May is only a few days away, and or Sol is due from now on to hump himself and force the snow and ice out of sight for within few days the housewife will be ready to plant her window and outdoor boxes, and when she does the snow must be gone, and it will be. Before another collection day comes to our town summer will be here in all it's magnificent glory, so keep up your courage and let pour optimism and hopeful nature sprout again, for the grandest time of the year anywhere is coming down the trail and only a few nights in camp away from our town.-Fairbanks NeWs-Miner.
