DOLLAR POPULAR HERE
SATURDAY NOVEMBER 20

How big is dollar? The last few
years people have been inclined to
look upon it with condescension and
speak slightingly of its ability as a
purchasing agent, but next Saturday,
November 20, it is going to come in
to measure of its old-time respect,
because on that day your dollar is
going to buy more than it has for
many long day. We predict that it
is going to be the busiest day Wolf
Point stores have known this fall,
for the merchants are all offering
real bargains. Look over the ads in
last weeks Herald and then be on
hand Saturday to help celebrate Dol
lar Day and incidentally save your
self some money by taking advantage
of the splendid values offered.

she will visit a sister for several
months, and Mr.. Ellinghouse will
leave for Arizona in a few days to

LEAP YEAR DANCE WAS
GIVEN WEDNESDAY EVE

About thirty couples enjoyed a
leap year ball in the Palm Room of
the Sherman last evening. A bunch
of the school teachers were hostesses
and everyone present had delight
full time. A special orchestra fur
nished music for the dance. This was
composed of Erma Small, j. B. Mont
gomery, Vernon DeMars and Ed.
Krebsbach of Vida.
At midnight delicious lunch was
served, consisting of brick ice cream
in colors, sandwiches cut in heart and
diamond shapes and diamond shap-
ed cakes. There was confetti in
abundance and the liberal distribu-
tion Of it occasioned much hilarity
among the dancers.

NO. 3 TRAIN WRECKED
NEAR TRENTON SUNDAY

Great Northern passenger train
No. 3, between Seattle and st. Paul
was derailed at the east switch at
Trenton, n. D., Sunday afternoon at
5 O'Clock, throwing the engine and
FIVE cars into the ditch.
At the point of the derailment,
the usual speed of passenger trains
is 35 miles per hour and it is said
that when No. struck the switch
she was travelling at the usual rate
of speed.
The engine left the rails followed
ed by the tank, three baggage cars,
smoker and day coach, badly demol-
ishing the mechanism of the engine
and wrecking the woodwork of the
baggage and coaches.
Fireman Ernest Allaby, who felt
the engine quiver as it passed over
the switch, jumped from the cab and
was injured about the hips. Slight
injuries were suffered by part of the
crew of the baggage cars.
The switch, it is ascertained, was
left in an improper manner, the lock
having been fastened through the
ring in the handle and not through
the upright fastening, leaving the
switch free to move with heavy jar.
The Williston wrecker was called
and after delay of almost ten hours
the track was cleared.
The belated train arrived here
about p M. Monday afternoon, be-
ing over IL hours late.

CELEBRATING FORD'S
new PRICES, PERHAPS

Jack Kelly has Lizzie. If you
had asked him about it a few days
ago he would have told you he knew
all about it, just how fast it could
go and how far on gallon of gas,
just how to coax it along when it
spluttered and stormed and threaten
ed not to go at all, just how to mix
the drinks for it when the weather
was cold and it needed just "a little
drap O. somethin' to keep it from
freezin up entirely"
But Tuesday evening Jack got
new insight into the character of his
car The drinks had carefully been
mixed and administered. He started
the engine and went inside the store
to let the car warm up few minutes
before driving it. Perhaps it was the
mildness of the weather that affect
ed it, or perhaps there was a drop
too much in the mixture, for all of
a sudden Honorable Car started off.
1t jazzed down Third street, then
waltzed around and smashed the iron
railing of the stairway leading down
to the Palace Barber Shop. The First
National Bank building was little
too substantial for even a car in such
good spirits, so it stopped right there.
'Tis reported the radiator is wreck,
and that Jack Kelly says sadly, 81
wouldn't have believed it of that car,

FLOAT FIRST PART OF LOAN
French Ministry Still Wait
 ing to Hear From Colonies.

Paris, March 29-The first section of the French peace loan has been successfully fioated, it is said today at the ministry of finance this morning. The ministry, however, is waiting to receive the full returns from the colonies and all the more remote points where subscriptions were taken before announcing the total yield. The loans success was achieved, it was remarked, in spite of the handicap of the railroad strike, that came in the midst of the sub scription period, and of the German revolution that came toward the close.
 It was declared, however, that all the estimates thus far made were erroneous. The exact figures may be given to the chamber of deputies to- morrow.
 Speaking today in the chamber on the monthly provisional appropria- tions, Finance Minister Francois Marsal, announced that important re- Strictions would be placed upon inn portations of luxuries in order to eff feet improvements in the existing sit uation-

New England Rivers
 Over Highest Mark

Boston, March 29-SwoIlen rivers caused by the thaw in the northern hill districts continued to menace bridges and river front properties in many cities and towns in New Eng land today. Points along the Mer- rimac and Connecticut rivers and their tributaries reported that the water had reached the highest mark in many years.
 Several mills at Lawrence were forced to close because of flooded basements and others were threaten ed by the steady rise of the Merrimas river The Concord and Merr1mac rivers rose more than a foot in the Lowell district in 24 hours and the officials were prepared today to open the flood gates which have been clos ed there since the record freshet ot 1852. Easements in homes and fac tories in the district were flooded last night At Haverhi1I the Merrimac reached it's highest point since 1897.

As a result of complaints by four Woodside avenue property owners that water from the Frenchtown reservoir was flooding their land, the Bridgeport Hydraulic Co. agreed this
 morning in the superior court to close the opening in the reservoir dam from which the water has been flowing. The agreement is temporary and was voluntarily made on behalf of the Hydraulic Co. by Attorney Arthur M. Marsh. Attorney J. Walter Scheher, counsel for the property owners, will ask for a permanent injunction at a later heairng. He accepted the lily draulic Company's proposal to close the dam as a temporary arrangement. however.
 The W.oodIde avenue residents wf1d claim to have been damaged by the water are: Mary Greiner, A. L. Lartz Ada Whytand and H P. Downs They say the water flows from the reser- voi4, goes under Main street and then is diverted across their property Each ow-ler has sued the Hydraulic Co. for $5,000 damages but these suits have not yet been tried.
 The Hydraulic Co.,. claims the stream which caused the flood is a natural stream which has been there fo4 many years. The plaintiffs in the present action say the stream did moi begin to flow until last October, when the company built 9 pipe to let the water flow from the dam

COnstitutiOna1ity Of
 Prohibition Argued

Washington, March 29-The con stitutionality of the prohibition amendment and portions of the en- forcement act were argued before the Supreme Court again today in con nection with consideration by the federal suit brought by the state of New Jersey and appeals from that state and from Wisconsin. Because of the number of cases, arguments were not expected to be concluded before tomorrow.
 The case today involved virtually the same questions as the Rhode Isl and, Kentucky and Massachusetts cases recently presented to the court but the original New Jersey suit eTn- bodied a more extensive attack upon the validity of the eighteenth amend ment and parts of the enforcement act than heretofore brought to the courts attention.
 The other New Jersey case, brought by Christian F'eigenspan, d Newark brewer, and the Wisconsin suit, while attacking the validity of the amendment, involve principallJ the right to continue the manufacture of beer alleged to be notwithstanding but containing more than one-half oi one per cent. of alcohol, the maximum allowed under the enforcement act.
