And then came along rather old

"Such thick looking ice as 1t was
made of, tool And he didn't seem to

He had begun to speak and as he

"We certainly are," King Snow
agreed. And they waved a good-by

Happy New Year and he left with a
splendid flourish.
"Well, Sir Way-Below-Zero, I'm glad
to see you and to have chat with

have guessed, Sir Way-Below-Zero was
his friend, "and l welcome you right

"That rejoices me-" said Sir Way

Below-Zero to King Snow and they
rlasped each other with their cold
hands, but neither minded. Instead
each said to the other:

Dana NJ. Easton Dead

Dana NJ. Easton, clerk of the Mon
tana Supreme Court, was found dead
in a room at his club in Helena last
Friday. Heart failure is given as
the cause. He was born in Warren,
Minnesota, in 1884, educated at the
Minnesota University, adopting the
profession of law. He located at
Poplar about II years ago. In July,
1917, he enlisted and went to the
front with Company K, Second Mon
tana infantry. He received nearly
score of wounds and spent many
months in various hospitals. He
finally emerged with the practical
loss of one leg.
Dana NJ. Easton was gifted with
great natural talent and possessed
the ability to make and hold friends,
a quality that stood him in good
stead when he became candidate
in 1922 for the position of clerk of
the supreme court. 1t is understood
that the body was shipped to War
rem, MINI. for burial.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Frank L
Greene, senior senator from Yer
mont, was shot and seriously wound
ed here tonight during a pistol due
between prohibition agents and boot
leggers.
The bullet lodged over Greene's
left eye and surgeons at the hos
pital were unable to tell if it had
lodged in the brain The senator
was conscious and this was regarded
as favorable.
Senator and Mrs. Greene were
walking west on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. near the capitol when the gun
battle started More than a dozen
shots were fired but no one else
was injured. The senator was
wounded while trying to shield his
wife from the hail of bullets.
Bystanders said the shooting had
hardly begun before Greene fell. He
was rushed to a hospital.

Public Investigations
Overshadow All Else

Washington, Feb. 21.-Disclosures
concerning men in high places have
side-tracked important legislative
measures. The charges of an Gin
visible government, the senate res
olution demanding the resignation OF
cabinet officer, the unfounded ru-
NOR concerning the late President
Harding, intimations of plots to pre-
vent the development of Alaska, all
contribute to the unsavory potpourri
scandal. These items have over
shadowed the marked partisanship
which has developed with the begin
ming of debate on the tax reduction
bill. There was an urgent and com
pelling demand for constructive leg
islative measures, which grew in vol
ume until the Tea Pot Dome affair.
like a hydra-headed monster of fic-
ton, sent everybody to cover with
a demand for the protection of the
taxpayer and prosecution of present
and former public servants identified
with graft measures.
Not even President Coolidge's def
milton of his policies in a speech at
New York could divert the public
interest in the political mess which
had cropped out of the oil lease mat
ter. The presidents speech was
taken as the beginning of his cam
paign for Republican nomination.
Cognizant of the Importance of the
oil investigation, Mr.. Coolidge made
it clear that he would prosecute
without fear or favor" His speech |
in the main, was an amplifcation
of his first presidential address to |
Congress, and strong bid for pop
llar favor. The position taken by
5he President in refusing to follow
5he request of the Senate, which
,alled for the resignation of Secre-
,ary of the Navy DENLY, has provok-
I'd Senate leaders. Mr.. Coolidge
stated that the Senate had no right

i've in regard to the members of his

NEXT DOLLAR DAY
SATURDAY, MAR. |

March 1st is the date of the next
Wolf Point Dollar Day, an important
event for consumers in this terri
tory, because it means that the buy
ing power of their dollars is greatly
enhanced on that day.
A double page display of the CO.
operative offers of the leading mer-
chants of the town will be found in
this issue and certainly carries some
splendid inducements to visit Wolf
Point and stock up on spring sup
plies.
The Wolf Point merchants have
never put on Dollar Day that was
not big success and March 1st will
surely fall in line with the others.
People at this season have the
time to make long journeys to take
of these offers and it will
surely pay them to do so. Don't for
get the next Wolf Point Dollar Day,
March 1st.

NAVY SECRETARY
DENBY QUITS POST
FRIENDS ADVISE COURSE TO
RELIEVE PRESIDENT OF
EMBARRASSMENT

Washington, Feb. 18.-Edwin B
DENLY has resigned as secretary Of
the navy and his resignation has
been accepted. 1t is expected that
the effective date of Sec'y Denby's
resignation will be March 10.
After repeatedly declaring he
never would quit the cabinet under
the fire of those who have criticized
his part in the oil leasing program,
the secretary notified President Coo
lidge Monday that he was ready to
step out.
Consults President
His decision followed a telephone
conversation between the president
and Mr.. DENLY, in which all of the
features of the situation were talked
over in the light of information pas
sed on to the White House by re-
publican leaders in the senate.
Recently number of the secre-
tary's friends also have been con-
suited by Mr.. Coolidge, and they
are understood to have advised the
president that they fully understood
the embarrassment that might result
in retaining Mr.. DENLY in his cabi-
net, while the oil annulment suits
were in progress.
Not only is he a party to the oil
leases, having affixed his signature
along with that of Albert B. Fall,
but he repeatedly has defended his
part in the proceedings and has de-
clared publicly since the present con-
troversy arose that he believed the
contracts legal and would be willing
to pursue the same course again.
1t has been pointed out to the
president that it might appear in
consistent to have member of the
administration holding these views !
remain in office while the administra-
ton itself through it's counsel was
moving the courts to annul the |
leases, on the ground that they were
made without authority Of law.
Prepare To Void Contracts
The first step in these legal pro-
eeedings is injunction suits to pre-
vent further work in Teapot and Cal
fornia reserves, is expected immedi-
ltely after the senate completes con-
irmation of the oil counsel
For the same reason, there have
,een reports that Theodore Roose-
relt also would retire as assistant
ecretary under Mr.. DENLY. Mr..
Roosevelt also had part in framing
he oil leases.

Local Farmer Among
Tillage Prize Winners

Among the list of the Northern
district of the state of winners of
cash and merchandise prizes for the
best yields produced by summer TIL
lage methods appears the name of
John J. Stensland Mr.. Stensland
resides in the Northeast country
about the same distance from here
as Poplar. His record proves that
he produced 80 bushels of wheat per
acre on IS acres of summerfallowed
land.
The liberal prizes offered in three
districts covering the state were for
the highest yields in the summer til
lage contest instituted by the Mon
tana Development Associationg
Yields in this district averaged
around 40 bushels and went as high
as 481a bushels on 156 acres. The
central district averaged slightly
higher than the northern, but the
southern district was considerably
less. The average yield over the
whole state for the 101 winners of
prizes was 81 bushels wonderful
demonstration of the possibilities of
summer tillage.

CITY RAISES LARGE
SUM FOR DEFENSE
$4,000 PAID IN TWO HOURS
COUNTY SEAT EXPENSE ALL
MET-BALANCE LEFT

By way of preparation for the
county seat battle which seems like
ly to be continued in the courts, A.
w. Huxsol, president of the Com
mercial club, called special meet
ing of that body last Thursday The
situation was reviewed and a state
ment of the finances rendered.
1t was decided that funds should
be raised sufficient to pay up the
balance due Wolf Points attorneys
and provide working fund for the
expense incident to defending the
case in supreme court. There was a
big attendance at the meeting and
perhaps the greatest enthusiasm that
has been displayed since the county
seat campaign began more than
three years ago. A subscription was
started at the meeting and after
wards taken to the few who were not
present.
Fast Work
A total of over $500 was sub
scribed and paid in in cash within
two hours. Other plans are under
way to bring this total to $4,000. A
list of nonresident property owners
will be reached by mail and are sure
to come through with their share as
they have done in the past. The wo-
men of the city have taken up the
work of putting on the biggest COM
nunity banquet and dance ever at
here, an enterprise that will
net a large sum
Fighting Spirit Strong
Every expense in connection with
he county seat campaign and trial
S paid and there will be good bal
nee to go ahead with the defense
made necessary by Poplar's decision
o appeal. The people of the com
nunity were never so well united,
lever so determined, and will press
he fight with relentless vigor from
low till the end.
