OLD KENTUCKY SHINDIG
RIVALS CITY CABARETS

Broadway cabarets stir pity in the
light of the gaiety of a good old
Kentucky shindig as shown in "Heart
o. the Hills" adapted from the story
by John Fox, Jr., Mary Pickford's
latest First National production from
her own studios and which will be
seen at the Liberty theatre Thursday
and Friday, March 10 and IL.
As Mavis Hawn, the hard working
and unulcky daughter of a Kentucky
family, Miss Pickford is
given an unprecedented opportunity
to display her unexcelled ability to
produce laughs and tears.
Unwilling to see her rustic Romeo
defeated in jigging honors by an
from the lowlands, Miss
Pickford dashes into the circle and
makes noble effort to keep the
laurels among the
folk. The dance is sudden
" interrupted when Uncle Zeke, go
ng on SO years old, orders the dance
% stop. He has lost his teeth.

RAILROAD FANS
MIXING THE DOPE

The closing Of the Bow.ioin
terminal, except for local
trains, has naturally set the
local talent tanning the cues
ton of what the move means.
1t is generally agreed that it
means no change at the Wolf
Point terminal but will have
some sort of sequel.
The company has two OBJ
jects to attain. One is to cut
down operating expense and
the other is to make better
time with through freights.
The answer, in the opinion of
some, appears to be: Double
track from Minot to Havre
with Wolf Point as the mid
way division. This would leave
the two divisions of about the
right mileage for an electri-
fed road, which it is believed
the Great Northern will be
after five years or so. This is
merely talk and opinion and
nc official authority is pre-
tended to be quoted, but the
double track idea has good
argument behind it. One
point that is mentioned by
some as against the double
track theory is James j. Hills
favorite plan of double track
ing by building parallel lines
that would develop new terri
5ory and relieve congestion by
dividing traffic. Other say that |
5he traffic situation has so
changed since Mr.. Hills death
hat his plan is no longer fea-
sible.

Prospects are for night sessions in
both houses. The third house," a
mock session in which employees and
newspapermen and others stage a

postponed to Monday night
Among important legislation re-

ed all the vital legislation will be de-
cided, one way or another during the
regular period.

Some Information Concerning
The Street Lighting Rates

valuation made by this commission il
1919, together with the additions tc
the plant since that time.
During the current year, the utili-
ty has to contend with increased
freight rates, which applied on only
a part @ef last years business, ano
which will increase the cost of fuel
To offset the increased cost of fuel,
commencing January 1, 1921, re-
duction was made in the salaries of
the manager and the three engineers.
! While the suspension of the city
street lighting service will result in
saving of fuel, it will also result in
the loss of revenue at the rate of ap-
proximately $3,800.00 per year, so
that unless the street lighting service
is resumed, or new business of an
equal amount is acquired, the return
on the Company's investment for the
year 1921 will not equal the return
of 6.26R &c received for the year 1920.
The contract rate to the city of
Wolf Point for street lighting during
the lear 1920 was 10c per XVIII.
The utility has submitted the fol
lowing schedule for street lighting
service, and the commission, after
duly considering the operations of
the company during the past year, /
has approved same, effective Febru-
ary /, 1921:
First 1000 XVIII 1Oc per XVIII,
dusk to dawn service.
Next 500 XVIII &c per XVIII, dusk
to dawn service.
Next 500 XVIII &c per XVIII, dusk
to dawn service.
Additional XVIII 7c per XVIII, I
dusk to dawn service.
Dusk until midnight service, II Tx
per XVIII.
The following rates are charged by
,ther utilities in that section of the
tate, for street lighting service:
Malta ..--.---....---.10c per XVIII

3ainville .--..---..-12c per XVIII
'roid --.-.-.-..--..12 per XVIII /
'lentywood .-11c per XVIII :
,cobey ----------.-.--------141 1ac per XVIII
The commission feels that the rate q
f return to the utility during the .
ear 1920 of $3.50 is neither I'M T
easonable or excessive, and in ap- =
rowing the new schedule for street :,
ghting in Wolf Point, by compari- =
on with the above you will note that E
is the lowest schedule of rates in :,

lat the city will resume the street
