TO BUILD
TWO NEW MACHINES

A manufacturing concern has been
organized and incorporated under
the name of the Autosleigh Company
with headquarters at Poplar. The
incorporators are James Cairncross,
w. E. McGarry, j. B. Dollard and
DR.. Bennett, all but Mr.. McGarry
being Poplar men. The company
has been organized for the purpose
of manufacturing two pieces of ma
chinery, invented by Mr.. Cairncross.
One of these is a vehicle fitted with
sleigh runners and also caterpillar
traction rigging-a sort of winter
time automobile, the leading feature
being an equalizer that allows the
weight to rest in any desired proper
ton on the runners and the cater
pillar rig.
Mr.. Cairncross has another inven-
tion in the way of caterpillar trac-
tion rigging for tractor, which its
hackers consider very valuable in
vention. A small model of the auto
sleigh is on exhibition in the office
window of McGarry & Saunders.

WELL KNOWN RAILROAD
MAN DIES AT GLASGOW

Hollis Marriott, we'll known and
popular Great Northern conductor,
died at the hospital at Glasgow on
the 10Th. The immediate cause of
death was Bright's disease. Mr..
Marriott was attacked by influenza
during the epidemic, but recovered
and returned to work for few days,
but the after-effects of the influenza
apparently aggravated the kidney
trouble which had bothered him for
a long time.
Mr.. Marriott was one of the best
liked men on the road and his death
is the cause of much sorrow among
his friends and associates. The fun
eral services were held at Glasgow
today and were attended by all of
the division officials and train men
who were able to be there. The body
will be buried at Glasgow where Mr..
and Mrs. Marriott formerly resided.
Mrs. Marriott, who was visiting rel
atives in Washington, D. c., return
ed last week There were no chill

CROP And LABOR RE-
PORT FOR MONTANA

A favorable outlook for winter
wheat, rye in good condition, an un-
satisfactory farm labor situation,
and large reduction in the num-
Der of brooding sows are shown in
the April Crop Report for Montana
issued by F. W. Beier, Montana Field
Agent for the United States Bureau
of Crop Estimates: The report:

provement over last fall and the lack
of moisture at seeding time has been
followed by sufficient moisture to
produce condition 83 per cent of

of SO per cent. The condition on
December 1, 1919, was 80 per cent

THE OIL SITUATION in THE LOCAL FIELD

lion or so to spend would come into

oil in three of them, the owners of
land near the producing wells would
reap a rich reward. The owners of
the rest of the land would get no.
thing but left, excepting what they
might benefit from the general pros
perity of the country. But philan-
thropists are scarce. None of them
will be drilling wells around here
when there are so many better oil
opportunities.
The oil game is a gamble at best,
and the best way to play it is to
share the risks and share the gains.
If too many hold out in the hope of
drawing the grand prize they are
likely to wait long time. The local
company is anxious to prove the To-
cal field, but they never can do it
without cooperation. 1t is up to the
land owners.

THE BUFFALO IDEA

Buffalo, New York, evidently is

girl who signs herself Genevieve
Grierson and gives her age as 13
years. Genevieve is a pupil in ''No.

April Is and postmarked $50 p. M,
the same date, and reaching Wolf
Point, in the heart of the Ear West"
on the early morning mail of the

The Buffalo idea looks like good

plan extends beyond the newspapers
or not. Little Miss Grierson's letter
is well worded, perfectly spelled and

BURKE SUCCEEDS MILESTONE

George Burke, Of Glasgow, one of
the wheel horses of the Democratic
party in this state, has again been
appointed deputy game warden for
part of northern Montana. He will
cover Phillips, Valley, Sheridan and
Roosevelt counties. Joe Milestone,
who was made deputy after Burke
entered the service, resigned the first
of the month and has gone to Bill
lings, where he will write insurance
and be interested in an oil PROPOSE
ton.
In December of 1917, Burke gave
up good job to enter the service.
He did duty at Kelly Field, Vancou-
yer Barracks and at Atlanta, Ga.
The prince of good fellows and chock
full of ability, Burke made rapid ad-
in the army and would
have been made a captain but for
the signing of the armistice. When
he was discharged on March 18th he
was second lieutenant.

While development of the OF
fields in other parts of Montana i
going forward with a rush, produc-
ings wells being brought in and drill
ing rigs working night and day on
many locations, matter appear to be
at standstill in the local field.
The situation seems to be that the
owners of the land will not give leas-
es until the field is proven by the
sinking of test wells-and the field
cannot be proven until leases on the
land are secured. 1t is exceedingly
unfortunate. Other districts are
reaping the prosperity that results
with certainty when oil is struck,
while we are passing up our oppor-
tunity. No oil field is tested until
practically all the land near the best
locations is under lease. The reason
of this is that it is not human nature
to risk large sum of money with
out good chance to get it back and
more with it. 1t costs money to drill
oil wells-from $4,000 up, accord
ing to the depth. At Bowdoin it is
said that 100000 has been spent on
a well and there is not sign of oil
yet. Local men have not the capital
to put down we'll; money must be
raised by the sale of stock, and stock
cannot be sold in a company that
has only few scattered leases.
If farmer has 320 acres of land
near location" he can
lease it under a lease that assures
nlm one-eighth of all oil produced on
hat land whether there be one well
or twenty. He also gets 800 shares
If stock in the company. The local
company holds leases in Wyoming
md other Montana fields that are
ar more promising than the Wolf /
Point field and a holder of stock will |
hare in the dividends that the COM
'any expects eventually to earn
here when the drills get onto their
eases. The Mon-Tex Company has
much better prospects in other fields
han here.

HIGHEST MILITARY
HONORS CONFERRED
FRANCE SENDS MEDALS FOR
PRIVATE HANS l.. TRETEN
SAND CREEK HERO

Two military decorations STANDING
for the highest honors that can bt
conferred upon soldier are in the
hands of Commander w. R. Squire.
OF the local American Legion Post
waiting to be claimed by Hans L
Treten of Sand Greek. These medals
are the Crois de Guerre and the
Medaille Militaire issued by the Re-
public of France and awarded to
Private Treten for exceptional bray
cry under fire.
Hans Treten enlisted from the
Southside and served with Co. K,
362nd Reg. Inf. His regiment served
in all the important battles in which
the Americans were engaged and in
the Argonne campaign, on day be-
tween Sept. 26 and October IL, 1918
occurred the incident that won the
Montana soldier his high honors. His
company was under fire from two
German machine guns. The position
of the Americans was exposed and
the German fire was proving very
costly. Treten crawled forward,
killed part of the gunners, captured
the guns and took four German pris-
oners. After the American troops
had been returned to this country
the medals were forwarded by the
French authorities to the proper
authorities in this country,
but Treten could not at first be To-
Gated. Finally he showed up in his
old neighborhood and the Legion of
fcers got in touch with him. Com
mander Squires wrote the recruit
ing officer at Spokane who had pos
session of the decorations, and they
were forwarded to Wolf Point. They
will be presented to Mr.. Treten as
soon as he reports to the commander.
1t is quite probable that the
french authorities got the spelling
# the name wrong. If information
from Sand Greek is correct,
he name is spelled Twedten. This
makes at least two Sand Creek sol
iers who have been decorated with
he highest military honors for dis
inguished bravery, the other being

MODERN STEAM PLANT
in CREAM STATION

The cream station of the Valley
Market and Grocery has been mod
ernized by the installation of a
steam plant to facilitate in testing
cream and cleaning cream contain
ers.
The outfit consists of an upright
boiler in which steam can quickly be
generated, with pipes leading to the
different apparatus of the testing
room. The centrifugal tester is driv-
en- by steam and steam is carried to
a rack on which cans can be inverted
and all the cream adhering to the
sides of the can quickly be removed
by blast of dry steam. This can
cleaning apparatus is a great bene-
fit to the party selling cream, as it
is impossible to remove all the cream
by any other means. The cream
which would ordinarily be left in the
can, but which can be removed by
steam, sometimes makes difference
in the farmers check of more than
the value of a pound of butter fat.
The testing room is fixed up in a
manner that allows it to be kept
clean and sanitary and which facili-
tates quick and accurate testing. w.
L. Young, the proprietor, believes
that dairying is going to increase in
this section and he is anxious to do
all he can to encourage the industry,
knowing that it will prove of great
benefit to farm prosperity.

POPLAR YOUNG men
MAY BECOME WOLVES

Two young business men of Pop

looking over the town with a view
to engaging in business and, it is
understood, practically completed a
deal. Both these young men are ex-
perienced in mercantile lines and
since they are returned from army
service, have been employed with
two of the largest firms in Poplar,
Mr.. Neutgens with Cosier-Patch and
Mr.. Kapinos with the Lundeen Mer-

in Wolf Point, they will find them
selves in godd town and with
