Tourists Meet With Warm

Sherman-See Proof of States Wonderful Crops.

The tourists travelling from Du-
luth to Glacier Park over the Theo-
dore Roosevelt International High
way, arrived in Wolf Point about
$50 Sunday evening covered with
dust but showing keen enjoyment of
the trip and what it held for them.
This being the initial run by tour
ing party over the highway and it be-
ing expected that the roads would not
be in the best condition the number
of tourists was small, but as the high
way is improved, much larger parties
can be expected in the future. Those
listed below and possibly a few others
made up the party that passed
through here. R. J. Moore, manager
of the Sherman and chairman of the
committee on accommodations, ac-
companied by H. B. Tyson, secretary
for Montana, met the party at Will
liston and accompanied them to the
Park.

Mr.. Tyson, voicing the sentiments
of the visitors, said that they were
greatly pleased with the receptions
they had received all along the route,
but that their Wolf Point welcome
was the Knockout of the trip so far.
The story of the arrival, stay and
departure westward of the tourists
can perhaps not be better told than
was done by a correspondent of the
Williston Herald who joined the
party there. In part this story says:
Ceremonies at State Line
"The tourists left Williston at
o'clock Sunday morning and at 10
o'clock they reached the Montana

CHINESE PHEASANTS
WILL BE PLACED HERE

Roosevelt county is to have star
in the beautiful Chinese or ring
necked pheasants, game bird thai
has been introduced in many western
states during recent years. 1t is de-
scribed as large bird of very beau
tiful plumage whose flesh is of ex-
cellent flavor.
Charles Gordon, deputy warden for
this vicinity, has received the follow
ing letter advising him that some of
these birds will be sent here:
Missoula, Mont, July %, 1921
Mr.. Charles Gordon,
Deputy State Game and Fish War
den, Wolf Point, Montana.
Dear Sir:
The Montana Game and Fish Com
mission will have sent to you in a
short time some Chinese or ring
necked pheasants, which will be sent
by express from the Benson Pleas
ant Farm, at Silverton, Oregon.
We are expecting you to see to it
that these birds are fairly distribut-
ed in your county where they will re-
ceive as much protection as possible
and where they can also get ample
food.
1t will be necessary to pay the ex-
press charges on these birds and re-
turn the crates as soon as possible
to the shipper. The commission feels
that the sportsmen of each county
where these birds are sent should pay
the express charges on them. How
ever, if your sportsmen do not look
on it in this way, and if you will send
in claim to the secretary Of the
commission for the charges, this small
sum will be reimbursed you.
We would also like for you to give
this matter some publicity in your
county so that the sportsmen can be
on the lookout for these birds and
see that they are given the greatest
possible attention. The matter is
more or less of an experiment and
so want to get the very best results
possible, and feel that all those who
take out licenses are interested in
the success of this undertaking. If
there are any birds received in poor
condition In the shipment, ! would
it if you would advise me
promptly.
Thanking you for your interest in
the matter, | am,
Very truly yours,
Thomas N. Marlowe,
Chairman.

ARBUCKLE SOME SMILER
is NEVER SERIOUS

1t is we'll known that the making
of comedies is serious business, and
it has often been said that screen
comedians are the most serious per-
sons in the world when the camera
is not turning. But Roscoe (Fatty)
Arbuckle, despite his long career as
a slapstick comedian, is the excep-
ton to the rule.
At the Famous Players studio in
California, where the rotund coined
ian makes his comedies, he proves
every day that off-stage or on, he has
one Of the sunniest dispositions and
the most contagious smile imagin-
able. He is a favorite everywhere
and has an inexhaustible supply Of
humor and wit. With such assets it
is no wonder that he is today the
most popular comedian 81 tie screen.
Mr.. Arbuckle's next picture is ar
adaptation of James Forbes play,
"The Travelling Salesman" and will
be shown at the Liberty theatre on
Thursday and Friday Joseph Hen
abery directed. Walter Woods wrote
the scenario and Karl Brown was
cameraman. Betty Ross Clark is
leading woman and others in the cast
are Frank Holland, Milton Taylor,
Lucille Ward, Jim Blackwell, Richard
Wayne, George Pearce, Robert Dud-
ley and Gordon Rogers.

First Stampede Is Great Success.

Wolf Points first Stampede, aideo
by the concurring attractions, result
ed in the greatest stampede evel
known Of the people of the surround
ing towns and country to this city
Saturday and Sunday. Farmers were
already busy with harvest, or the
crowd would have been still larger
but as it was a great many of the
country people came for Sundays
combined attractions.
A tepee and tent village of several
in and around the ball park with the
Stampede and the circus. Bucks and
squaws were never more gorgeously
arrayed in beads, buckskin and feath-
ers than for this occasion, which was
something they could thoroughly en-
joy. The early morning chants of
the old patriarchs, by way of salut-
ing the dawning day and arousing
their kinsmen from slumber, and the
rhythmical beating of tom-toms which
marked the fall of night gave touch,
which in less modern surroundings,
could easily have carried the imagi-
nation back to the days of Indian
wars and Indian traditions.
Shot Up The Town
The expectant crowd was made to
realize that the big show was on Sat-
urday forenoon when galloping col
umn of yelling, shooting cowmen,
some accompanied by their best girls,
tore wildly through Main street and
back again hats waving, spurs
jingling, chuck wagon, pulled by
four fleet broncks, out in front, save
for Jimmy Flynn Of Frazer, who, in
a beautifully trimmed buckskin suit
and complete trappings, led the bri-
gade on his 1000 calico pinto.
On they came and away they went,
back to the grounds, only to come
a second time escorting a dignified
and bedecked band of braves and
squaws. On the return trip this time
the Indians halted near the band
stand and executed a dance, after
passing the usual hat, for the enter
tainment of the visiting throngs.
A Big Success
The first Stampede turned out a
big success and proved that the rid
ers, horses and all other essentials
can be brought together here for still
bigger successes in the future. Fin
ancially also, the stampede exceed
ed expectations of its promoters.
Joshua Wetsit is probably entitled
to credit for getting the idea under
way as he proposed stampede for
Wolf Point Immediately after the 4th
of July. The idea was taken up by
Alvah Kellogg, Ray Mitchell, Billy
Knorr, Charley Hall and others and
was endorsed by the Commercial
Club directors. The business men
along the street contributed literally
to fund to lend substantiability to
the undertaking, nearly $500 being
signed for. A lot of planning and
hard work was necessary and Wetsit,
Knorr and the others mentioned did
most Of it.
