WOLVES PLAYING WITH
NORTH DAKOTA TEAMS

The Wolves are playing basket ball
least one other place, probably either
Homestead or Poplar. Tuesday night
they played at Minot, the North Da-
kota boys winning IA to IA. The
score of last nights game at Stanley
has not been learned. The stated be-
fore leaving that they did not expect
to win at Minot this trip as the Mag
ic City team is acknowledged to be
the strongest in the Northwest. Mi
not is a basketball center and in
yterest in the game runs high. A great
many of the best players are attract
ed there which gives them team
that a small town team can hardly
expect to defeat.
Stanley, N. D., is also hard place
at which to win game as the Stan
ley team makes practice of
strengthening up for any strong
visiting team with three of the best
Minot players. Besides this they
stage their games in hall that pre-
sents peculiar obstacles to a visiting
team in the way of small dimensions
and an obstructing stove and piano.
The Poplar town team went over
the same route the week before and
were decisively beaten at both Minot
and Stanley.
The players taken by the Wolves
were: Handler, Frahm, Hall, Lenz,
King and Balkan.
Art Hall and Kenneth King came
home on No. tonight on account
Of their work. The team is playing
at Homestead tonight using a player
from Poplar to fill as fifth man. Hail
says the Stanley-Minot combination
beat the Wolves at Stanley 2S to IS.
Also that Minot has the strongest
team in the country and that the
boys are not at all discouraged by
their defeats. The first half at Mi

Second Raid Within Year Yields Yeggs Over $500 in Fine
Gents Wear-Sherif's Blood Hounds Fail to Pick Up
Scent-Fancy Silks Chief Item, Suits and Travelling

The indications are that Wolf Point
is likely to experience small crime
wave of its own.
Sometime last night certain mem
bers of the yegg profession, as yet
unknown, took advantage of favor
able conditions to do a stroke of busi-
ness at the expense of the Fad Cloth
ing store. They made good get
away with valuable mems clothing
and furnishings of an estimated val
ue of $3.50 or $500.
The upper part of the lower pane
of a window at the rear of the store
was broken, which enabled the win
dow to be unlocked and raised. At
least three suitcases and bags were
taken and into these were placed silk
shirts, socks, two suits Of clothing
and probably underwear and other
articles. 1t is impossible for the
proprietors to make an accurate
check of missing goods, but it is
known that two high priced suits
were taken and large number OF
expensive silk shirts valued at over
$4,000

FIRST DEBATE WON
BY GLASGOW TEAM
H. S. BASKETBALL AT GLASGOW
SATURDAY NIGHT-CUL-
BERTSON GIRLS HERE

The Wolf Point debate team was
defeated at Glasgow last Saturday
night. The Glasgow team consisted
of three girls. Two of them were
especially effective speakers. They
were dramatic and had we'll prepar-
ed Arguments.
Our debaters showed up very well
and the early part of the debate was
nip and tuck. In fact one judge re-
marked that up to the middle of the
debate it was tie.
The two teams showed vastly diff
ferent styles Of debate. Their en-
phasis had been placed on delivery
while ours had been on argumenta-
ton. The delivery seemed to have
great weight with the judges.
This is our second year in debate
work while Glasgow is an old-timer
and hence has some advantage in
knowing how to prepare for such a
contest.
The Teams
The debaters were: Glasgow
Rose Peterson, Veronica Brost,
Dorothy Hagen. Wolf Point-Mar-
ian Walters, Sophia Onstad, Howard
Hall. The judges were Supt R. L..
Wampler, of Saco; Judge Hurry, Of
Glasgow and Principle Bue of Poplar.
After the debate delicious lun-
cheon had been prepared by the do
mestic science class. All then went
to the gym where dancing was the
order.
Our debaters enjoyed the trip and
feel that debating is one way to Sc
cure valuable information and exper-
ienee in speaking.
Mrs. Hauge, first grade teacher,
has been i'll for several days. Gladys
Nichol and Genevieve Montgomery
of the Normal Training Department
have been in charge of her room.
The last number in the first series
of Tuesday-teacher talks was given
last week by Mr. Poore. His subject
was Theodore Roosevelt" The sec
ond series of these weekly talks will
be begun on Jan. 25.
Basketball Dates
The boys basketball team will
play at Glasgow on Saturday night
of this week. Glasgow defeated Pop
lar last week and is one of the
strongest teams in the district.
The Culbertson girls team will be
here on Saturday night. Two volley
ball teams will play the preliminary.
Work has begun on the high school
play His Uncle john" Mr.. Poore

January 9TH

The following members were pres
ent: Mayor Smith, presiding; Alder
men Lynn, Everett, Coffey, GIFTS
City Clerk R. R. Knowlton; absent,
Aldermen Kragrud and Ferguson.
Rates for Electric Current
The Mayor stated that the meeting
had been called for the purpose of
meeting the representatives of the
Listerud Power Co. and attempting
to adjust the rate OF rates to be paid
for electric current by the City of
Wolf Point.
Mr.. 0. C. Johnson, Mr.. Morris Lis
terud, Mr.. Schoening, Mr.. Swedburg,
and Mr.. Tute appeared in behalf of
the power company.
Mr.. Listerud presented compila-
tion showing the cost of operation
for the months of October and No
vember, and the cost per K. w. H.
for the production of current, which
was approximately 1914 cents.
A request was made for the state
ment of gross receipts during the
same months, that by deduction of
the cost of operation some idea of
the earning capacity might be obtain
ed, but the committee were not pre-
pared with these figures.
Mr.. Tute showed that steady run
and an increased production of cur
rent that they hoped to be able to
their earnings and at the
same time decrease the cost of pro-
duction and distribution.
Mr.. Schoening thought that the
council should not demand rate
much below the cost of placing cur
rent on the wires, but the Mayor
quoted the statement of the Public
Service Commission: at is custo-
mary for all utilities to make a much
lower rate to the city than to indfvid-
uals," also "The first reduction

20 new COUNTIES
BEGIN TO SPROUT
TWO IN OIL Area AROUND
WINNETT-RICHE WOULD
BE COUNTY SEAT

/ Helena, Jan. S.-Not less than A
and as high as 20 new counties are
being prepared to be placed on the
! legislative griddle this session, ac-
cording to members of the assembly.
4 One member asserted he knew spe-
officially of not less than four pro-
posed new counties that the legisla-
ture will be asked to create unless
their proponents can be beaten off.
SO far, only two of the schemes have
crept into the light of day. One is
to take slice from eastern Fergus
county, beginning east of Grass
Range, and create the county of
Winnett with the town of Winnet as
its county seat.
Another contemplates taking a
strip out the the northern part of
Dawson county and the southern part
of Richland and creating new coun-
ty with Richey as the county seat.
Though larger and containing a
larger proportion of members under
going their legislative noviate, the
seventeenth assembly has made BITE
ter progress than did the sixteenth
during the first week of the session
two years ago members declared.
Standing committees of the senate
have been named, and seven of the
most important standing committees
of the house.
Eliminating from consideration
the 50 bills for the revision of the
codes, the same number of bills were
introduced the first week of this ses-
sion as in the first week of two years
ago, but where there were nine house
bills offered two years ago there have
been only five offered this year.
Where there were two senate bills
two years ago, this year six have
been introduced.
Members of the seventeenth assem-
bly, slipped upon the legislative ap-
preparation bills as did their prede-
cessors in the sixteenth assembly and
members and employees We're not
paid then, nor will they be now, un-
Ill the second Monday of the session.
The most important of the eleven
general measures introduced are
those in line with the recommends
tions of Governor Jos. NJ Dixon. IN
the senate Senator William Haley of
Prairie county introduced bill es-
tablishing a state purchasing depart
ment with sole authority to buy
everything for the state from pen
point to road grading machine;
Senator ]. E. Edwards of Rosebud
county, bill to increase the reve-
nues of the state by doubling the FL
ing fees in the office of the secre-
tary of state.
Senate Passes One Bill
The senate passed and transmitted
to the house Senator ]. B. Leuthold's
bill renting the penalty for delin-
quent taxes If paid before April l,
1920, and also extending the right of
one year on property sold
in 1918 for taxes delinquent in 1917.
With the usual appropriation bills
disposed Of which will provide for
salaries and expenses of members
and salaries of attaches and with the
more important committees already
appointed and others to be made on
or Tuesday, according to
Speaker Gibson's announcement, the
house is expected to hit its real stride
early next week.

CITIZENS MEETING
WEDNESDAY,, JAN. 10
ANNUAL CLUB ORGANIZATION
SET FOR NEXT WEEK
SEE THE POSTERS

The meeting of the Commercial
club Tuesday evening was attended
by fair percentage of the paid ur
members. Three other gatherings
the same evening interfered with the
attendance. The meeting was held
at the old Glacier building and was
presided over by President Tyson,
with A. M. Foor as secretary.
Both before the meeting was called
to order and after there was an in
formal discussion of numerous mat
ters to the functions of the club and
the work that is ahead of it in the
present year. The form of the or
ganization and the best manner of
raising club funds were very care
fully considered. The reading of the
minutes and reports was dispensed
with.
1t was finally decided to defer all
action to another meeting and make
an extra effort to secure large at
tendance, both members and nom
members to be invited
Mass Meeting 10th
1t was difficult to find an evening
that does not conflict with other fixed
but Wednesday, the 10Th,
seemed to be the best and was de-
cided on. Everybody was anxious to
help the work along. 0. T. Stennes
offered the use of the hail. A local
newspaperman was present and of
fered to print posters free of charge,
to supplement the notices in the pa
pers. Rev. McIvor volunteered to
distribute the posters. The next
thing was committee to write the
copy and on motion the chairman
appointed A. w. Huxsol and Erwin
to do the job.
Looking Toward the West
The best Of feeling prevailed and
the optimistic, boosting spirit was
in all references to the
for 1921. This being a
time for reconstruction all over the
country, it was deemed a wise plan
TO leave the whole matter of organi-
zation and officers for the ensuing
year open to the mass meeting, to be
1eld next week, but the need Of pre-
oaration to take care of the work
hat the year is sure to force within
he scope of commercial clubs du-
lies was strongly urged.
1t was pointed out that the rail-
'oads are anticipating a large influx
If settlers from eastern states where
'arming conditions have become
impossible to renters and
'armers of small means. Many are
hrowing up their contracts and look
ng toward the West, drouth or no
lrouth.

EASY WINNERS AT HOME
CITY TEAM ON ROAD

All available space at the. high
school gym was packed with specta-
tors last Friday night to witness the
game between Wolf Point and Balm
vile high school teams and the Wolf
Point and Glasgow town teams.
The high school game was played
first and the locals were rather easy
winners over their opponents by
score of So to 9, but the Bainville
boys put up hard fight and did
their best throughout the periods to
keep the Wolf Point score as low as
possible. O. Kragrud was the prin-
cipal point getter for Wolf Point,
with Young and Yandell close after
him. Both the individual and team
play are improving.
Superintendent Houston accom-
panied the Bainville boys. The posi-
tions and points of the players of the
two teams is shown below
