Friends of Mrs. Bruner are pleased
at her announcement this week that
She will be candidate for the office
of county superintendent of schools
on the Republican ballot. She is
eminently fitted for this position both
by education and experience. She is
high school, normal and college
graduate and has done postgraduate
university work. She has had exper-
ience in both rural and grade work,
besides nine years in high school. She
has served as high school principal
and as an instructor in teachers in
stitutes.
Mrs. Bruner has also been an active
worker in various organizations and
in club work. When the Red Cross
branch was active here, she was an
efficient secretary. She was presi-
dent of the local Woman's Club for
two terms, and held important COM
mittee chairmanships in the Fifth
district organization of federated
clubs, of which she has served as
vice-president and is now president.
She will receive strong support here
in Wolf Point, and should draw
large vote all over the country.

POLICE VIGILANCE
BRINGS CITY $500

Although the Fourth Annual Siam
pede passed off more quietly thar
was expected by many, and more
quietly than previous affairs of the
sort. there were nine arrests, on a
variety of charges from third degree
assault to maintaining public nui-
sance, and the fines ranged from SIS
up to $3.50, aggregating the city the
sum of $685. for the time from the
evening of July 18th to the morning
of the 18th. This speaks well for the
vigilance of the city administration,
and Ben Anderson is deserving Of
special credit for his efficient work.
There are many of our citizens who
believe that the payment of a good,
stiff cash fine is a better reforming
agency than a jail sentence with the
city furnishing the bread and water.
Most of the charges were entered
against John Doe and Richard Roe
in the police records.
During the past week there have
been a number of internal revenue
officers in Wolf Point, whose purpose
t was to locate stills and other evil
lences of infraction of the prohibi-
ion laws.

Coliseum Offer
Mrs. Olive M. Rogers made three
proposals in regard to the Coliseum
building. She offered to rent the
building to the county for term o.
years at rental of $3.50 a month, ar
to allow $3.50 toward fixing up t !.
offices, same to be deducted from ~ -
rent at the rate of $50 month a. a.
nine months. A second proposal ,no 90
to sell the building as it standf f.,
the sum of $7,50G, or to sell the 6,iIJ
ing and strip of ground 20 set bv
l5O feet along ene south side of the

ouildln and parcel of ground 50x9O

to sell the three lots on which the
| Coliseum stands, together with -,
buildings on these lots, which ir o1,,Jnn on
Mrs Rogers house and a soil Jiuoes aa
rage for $4,000.
The Great C,, NoetlInern's offer
=. +; SwedberIg, representing the
ra!iroad company, offered to rent the
falr0ao ran ea Office building as e sstten'ss
lG LOT 10 month. He said the Great
Northern would put in a vault. bni1t
70 any specifications the commission
efs might require, and would CHARGE
an additional rental per year eouaI
to ten per cent of the cost of tbe
vault. In other words if a AZ 0O0
vault was required the rent would be
S3OO a year, or $25 a month more
than the original SIS. Another nro-
posal which Mr.. Swedberg made was
TO sell the building as it stands to the
county for $12,500 and lease them
the ground for term of 90 years if
desired, and he said that they would
also be willing to lease the county
ground on which to put iail. al
though it would be impossible for
them to give title to the ground in
either case.
In the discussion that followed
point was made of the fact that if
the railroad office building was used
for q court house, at the end of about
l3 years the county would have paid
for the building as it is valued now
and at the end of ten years would
have paid for the vault and would
have nothing to show for the expen-
diture, not to speak of the money
which the county would spend on a
jail building on leased ground. IT
was also brought out that the office
building site, while it might do tenn
oorarily, is not an ideal site for a
court house. An argument in favor

SAYS AMERICAN LEGION
DESERVES MUCH PRAISE

With good intentions, a certain
place where an ice factory would be
welcome, is proverbially paved and
our streets topped off with a good
deal of the same material.
The good work done by the Legion
in grading the street with gravel
in front of the Listerud power plant
attracted much attention during the
Stampede and elected favorable COM
ment.
The Legion has been real factor
for good in this community and it is
hoped will take the initiative in put
ting over program in cooperative,
community road improvement.

Once more Wolf Point has scored
a hit with her 1924 Stampede. 1t was
a bigger affair than ever before and
attracted more riders, and, on the
whole, better riders than previous
wears. Much credit rebounds to the
management which worked tirelessly
for several weeks before the Stam-
pede to make it the greatest success
in it's history. They even went to
the extent of consulting Prof. Petite
the weather man, before arranging
the dates, and the resulting weather,
although hot. was as nearly ideal as
could be expected at this season OF
the year.
Biggest Crowd on Record

s+reet it seemed as if there never
had been so large a crowd IN WON

one at the tourist camp, and one
near the stampede grounds where
there was an encampment OF Indians,
and hotels and lodging houses were

entertained guests in their homes
Although the crowd seemed larger,
the cate receipts were about SLID

the exact number Of persons attend
ING each day is not known, it is es-
+imated that the attendance Tor the
three days amounted to about 4,UUo
exclusive of Indians that were ad-
mitted to the grounds free and dld

Programs Snappy

ihe big prizes offered and the IN.
creasing reputation of the Wolf
Point Stampede as being worth

class of performers from distance
each year. This year riders came
from all over the west, numbering
eeventv-odd in all, from Canada to

When President Coolidge by procla- nation designated the American Red Cross as the medium through which contributions for relief of the Japan ese earthquake sufferers should flow. the Presidents desire came as an or der to the Red Cross. Immediately the entire machinery of the organiza- tion was put in motion and within 24 hours the fund cam mpaign was moving with vigor in every part of the coun- try.
 This emergency test demonstrated the peacetime readiness of the Red Cross to cope with stupendous tasks in behalf of humanity. Within a month it had collected upwards of $1O. .250 900 in contributions, landed ten cargoes of supplies at Japanese ports and was keeping pace with re- lief requirements-an without sin gle dollar of the fund being spent for administration.
 President Coolidge. in expressing his thanks to the people. said: When the news of the tragedy in Japan first reached us, the American Red Cross, pursuant to proclamation, asked the country for $5,O00,O0O to meet the great emergency The answer to this appeal was prompt and generous; in less than two weeks 8 sum far in ex. cess of the original goal was given"
