SOLID CAR OF ORANGES
ASSIGNED TO WOLF POINT

Montana has many advantages that
even California cannot beat, but so
far we have not succeeded in grow
ing that most healthful fruit, the
orange, a commodity in which Cali
fornia specializes. But the fast ex-
press shipments and improved meth
DDS of distribution, plus the business
enterprise Of Wolf Point merchants
means that fresh, juicy California
oranges can be placed in Wolf Point
kitchens at the prices they retail for
in the state that grows them.
1t is with considerable and justif-
able pride that the grocers of the city
announce in this issue the purchase
of solid car of California oranges
to come direct to Wolf Point, free
from commission house profits, which
makes the lowest prices possible.
This car of $50 boxes will without
doubt be sold before it arrives.

new CONCERN TO BUILD
CAS-SERVICE STATION

A first class filling and service sta
ton is one of the institutions that
will be added to the Wolf Point busi-
ness register this spring. The Ablin
Motor and Oil Co. of Oswego has
purchased the "fatiron" lot at Main
street and Fourth avenue, of John
o. Garden, which is now occupied
by Mr.. Gardens business office.
The site is ideal for the purpose
and it is the intention of the Ablin
Company to establish an up to date
metropolitan station. Work will be-
gin on its construction as soon as the
weather permits. This will be mod
ern feature such as few cities of this
size have.
Mr.. Garden will move his building
to lot east of the one he has sold,
which will be quite as good loca-
ton for his business.

TOOK MONTHS TO film
"MY WILD IRISH ROSE

"My Wild Irish Rose," which will
be shown at the Liberty theatre on
Thursday and Friday. is adapted
from the famous play by Don Bouci-
cault, known to fame as "The Shaug-
hraun." Several months were spent
in preparing the big special produc-
tion for the screen.
The plot deals with England and
Ireland of an earlier day. David
Smith, one of the best known direct
ors on the west coast, was chosen to
direct the production. Motion picture
actors are always pleased when they
are able to secure af9 engagement
under his direction as he is considered
the best in the business. Therefore
his engagement to direct this picture
is a signal that the best characer
artists available are engaged for the
production. AS his assistant director
remarked:
David Smith is a director with
heart. He leads wonderful home
life and brings the atmosphere of his
home onto the screen"
Pauline Starke and Pat O'Malley
head the splendid cast and are two
of the best Irish types on the film
market. Every member of he cast
was chosen with an eye to his or her
particular ability to portray types
of human emotions. There is another
feature of "My Wild Irish Rose"
The outstanding roles are not limit
ed to one or two persons. There are,
at least half a dozen characters
which In each instance will create
and hold continued interest as the
picture unfolds. Three love stories
are interviewer into the plot.

TRAIN VISITED BY
OVER 5000 PEOPLE
FARM SUCCESS EXCURSION RE-
CEIVES BIG RECEPTION
IN EVERY TOWN

A news story from Fort Benton ir
the Great Falls Tribune tells of the
intense interest in the western part
of the state in the exhibit train that
will be in Wolf Point, Thursday
March 29.
More than 5000 farmers and their
families visited the farm success train
and meetings conducted throughout
the north Montana triangle" by the
state college extension service in CO.
operation with the Great Northern
railway at the conclusion of the
fourth week of the tour at Carter on
Saturday afternoon.
Within five minutes after the three
cars of the train had been set off on
a side track at Fort Benton Friday
afternoon 155 people by actual count
were aboard, viewing the farming
exhibits which the train carries. At
the meeting in the Mission theatre
in the afternoon the building was
filed to capacity throughout the en-
tire afternoon and more than a hun
dred were unable to gain admittance.
Many farmers and their families
came from 80 to 40 miles to visit the
train and attend the meetings here
and they manifested much interest in
the many labor saving devices and
farm implements which the train car
-ies.
Farmers are evincing more active
interest in the train and the program
arranged by M. L. Wilson, who is
n charge of the train, than has been
hown in anything of similar ma
ure conducted by the extension SER
ice in years, according to President
Alfred Atkinson of the State Col
ege at Bozeman, who met the party
lere for days visit.

REIMBURSEMENT OF
RESERVATION LANDS

A letter from Charles H. Burke
Commissioner of Indian affairs, adj
dressed to C. F. Blaich of this city
throws considerable light on the sub
ject of reappraisement of Fort Peck
Reservation lands 1t has been un-
derstood that reappraisement was
being carried on but it was not known
in what manner. From the letter it
appears that no general classification
of all the lands that have been set
tied is being made but that it is taken
up in individual cases where appli-
cations are made for reclassifcation
and reappraisement. Mr.. Burke's
letter follows:
Mr.. C. F. Blaich, Pres.
Fort Peck Settlers Assn.
Wolf Point, Montana.
Dear Sir:
I have your recent letter desiring
information as to the progress of
the classification and reappraisement
work on the Fort Peck Indian Reser-
vation.
In this connection your attention
is called to my letter to you dated
December 16, 1922. Action has been
taken on all applications forwarded
to the Office, but in certain cases it
has been necessary to request the
of the Fort Peck
Indian Agency for further informa-
tion, and to ask that supplemental
reports be made on certain tracts.
However, the matter is receiving
continuous attention, and action is
being taken on all requests for re-
submitted to the Office.
Sincerely yours,
Chas. H. Burke,
Commissioner. |

PRACTICAL OBJECT
LESSON ON WHEELS
SOMETHING UNIQUE IN
EXTENSION WORK

AS announced last week the big
dry farm success demonstration train
sent out to north Montana districts
by the Montana Extension Service,
will visit Wolf Point on March 20.
This trip from Havre to Culbertson is
an extension of the original schedule
and was made upon the request of
business men and farmers of this
section.
The train shows the method by
which dry land farming in northern
Montana can be made more nearly
successful. The demonstrations are
based upon a survey made of success
full farms in this region last summer
by the State College Extension Serv-
ice. When it was found that some
farmers were making success in
spite of drouth, where others were
quitting by the score, the college set
out to find the methods used by these
successful farmers
To get the information to the
greatest possible number of farmers
and in time to be of benefit this
year, the Great Northern cooperated
by giving special cars and transpor-
tation. The train is in charge of M.
L. Wilson, who made the survey of
successful farms last year.
Covers Many Points
Here are some of the points which
will be handled on the train: Con-
troll of Russian thistle, proper method
of summer fallow, control of soil
blowing, use of spring flood water,
use of larger teams to increase man
labor, use of trench of pit silos, di-
to insure the living ex-
penses each year, shelterbelts and
similar ubjects In the afternoon
here will be lecture which will be
