ny" Cubs Play Final Game Tonight
With WatervilIe High lndepend-
ents
In the final game Of the season at
the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium tonight
the ~" Cubs play game with the
Waterville High Independents. Ne
gotiations for this game have been
going on for some little time and the
Cubs believe that they have a good
game for the windup of their season.
The visitors will bring a strong
team and practically the entire Wa
terrible High regular team will take
the floor tonight against the Cubs.
Captain Sterling, Larrabee, Saucier,
Garter, Clapprood, and Smith will be
in the lineup and this combination
Will probably cause the Cubs plenty
of worry before the contest is over.
Augusta fans who think that this
game tonight is going to be another
OF the one-sided contests that have
characterized a portion Of the Cubs
schedule this year, are greatly mis-
taken as the Waterville boys know
the polish surface game and can play
great brand of ball. The Cubs will
certainly be extended tonight more
than they have in any other contest
they have played this year and some
of the best and most exciting fun of
the season is assured those " no turn
out for the game.
The ''Y" Shippers, the grammar
school class team at the "Y' will lock
horns with the "Y' Comets, a team
picked from the High school class
at the "Y." These teams are appar-
emily evenly matched and their game
should be we'll worth the price of adj
mission.
The big game will start promptly
| at o'clock and the largest crowd of
the season is anticipated

When the curtain was rung up on
the concert given by the Hallowell

The Hallowell Company is a string

POLICE CHASE OUTLAW
FOR MONTHS in NORTH

There is a wealth of wonderful
scenery of the snow wastes of the
frozen northland in the picture ''The
Rivers End" by James Oliver Cur
wood, Marshall Neilan production
that will be shown at the Liberty
theatre next Thursday and Friday.
The snow scenes were taken far
up in Canada, where the SHOWS lay
many feet deep on the ground almost
the year round. There are miles and
miles of snow fields, stretching to
the horizon and beyond to the land
of the midnight sun.
Here there is only chance white
mans hut, someone seeking a refuge
from the world of men, an outcast
from his own people. Occasionally
there will be the rude tepees of the
northern Indians AID perhaps the
igloos of the Esquimaux. But most
ly it is dreary waste, where the
wolf pack hunts or howls at the
moon.
In long, long time there is seen
a trail, and white man on snow
shoes travelling across the snow, or
perhaps sled drawn by huskies,
white men on some unusual mission.
In this setting is laid a story of
tremendous action and of deep heart
the story of man driven
into exile because charged with muir
for months1the relentless Royal
Mounted Police on the trail, demand
ed that justice shall be satisfied by
hanging.
Then back to civilization runs the
story, following the outlaw in a dead
mans garments and with a dead
mans name. These mysteries and
thrills are unfolded in a way that
will both startle and fascinate all.

GUN PROOF---FAL
BEFORE CUPID'S BOW

To withstand four serious bullet
wounds only to fall victim to cupid's
arrow has been the fortune of Sid
Vollin of Nashua.
The following item taken from the
Valley County News of Glasgow will
be of special interest to Wolf Point
people inasmuch as the bride, then
Gertrude Scoville, formerly taught
music here and frequently visited at
the home of Mrs. o. M. Dahl, her
aunt. She is an attractive and tai
ented young woman, and at present
is teaching in the Nashua school. The
News says:
Dan Cupid outwitted Fate in Judge
G. W. Rapp's court last Saturday
when the good judge tied the knot
that joined in wedlock Sid Vollin and
Miss Gertrude Burkhardt, both of
Nashua. Special interest attaches to
the event in that the groom had but
that day been discharged from the
Deaconess hospital where for three
weeks he had been convalescing from
four gunshot wounds, which for a
time threatened his life. The bride is
well known in Glasgow, having the
past summer been employed as a
clerk in the Office of the county clerk
and recorder. Needless to say the
we'll wishes of the community goes
to the young couple, who left Sat
urday for Nashua where they will
make their home.

The cost of government and the
resulting taxes have increased out OF
all proportion to population and the
production of wealth during the past
six or eight years in Montana The
voter anr taxpayer must get to the
of their officials and organize with
the object of getting in touch with
and keeping tab on public expendit-
ures.
Such, in brief, was the burden of
the able speech on Taxation, deliver
ed here Tuesday evening at Glacier
hall by State Sen. B. G. White of
Buffalo, Fergus County.
He was greeted by good sized
audience which included town and
country people, men and women,
who gave the closest attention and
indicated by applause that their senti-
ment was in accord with that Of the
speaker.
The senator was compelled to
greatly abridge his address as the
lateness of his train gave him scarce
ly an hour and a half in the city. He
spoke rapidly and with forceful dir
ectness, using the more salient por-
tions of his argument and backing
up his points with official figures and
statistical charts.
Senator White kept entirely clear
of political illusions in his speech,
few names and attacking
no officials. His criticisms were of
the most general nature, but well
to make voters and tax
payers think.
He spent portion of the day at
The county seat where he went to
meet with the executive board of the
County Farm Bureau to consider the |
of a taxpayers associ-l
