MURPHY LANDS
LARGE CONTRACT
LOCAL BUILDER WILL ERECT
FINE MASONIC TEMPLE AT
WILLISTON, N. D.

]. P. Murphy, local contracting
building, has been awarded the job
of constructing fine Masonic
Temple at Williston. Mr.. Murphy's
contract calls for the construction
work above the basement, not in
cluding the heating and plumbing,
the consideration being in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
The Masonic order at Williston
purchased a site which included
building. The basement and also
the material in the superstructure
will be utilized in the new Temple,
the total cost of which will be $40,
900 or $4,000.
Bidding for the work was keen
and the award of the job was no
small tribute to Mr.. Murphy's repu-
tation as a builder. He has just
completed the Bogut-Reed building
here and will go to Williston next
week to begin work under his new
contract.
This new structure at Williston
will be located on the south side of
Broadway, half block east of
Main street.

new FLOUR MILL MAY
Re ESTABLISHED HERE

Negotiations are now under way
for the reopening of the local flour
mill, to be backed by large east
ern firm with abundant capital.
The negotiations are being made by
Elmer E. Adams, official of the
First National Bank of Fergus
Falls, MINI, who is acting for an
eastern client.
The present mill is owned by John
Listerud who expects to retire from
business and therefore wishes to sell
his property. The local demand is
large enough to warrant a 50-barrel
run per day. without outside sales.
The prospective firm is planning on
a 200-barrel run per day.
Wolf Point is an especially ad-
point for flour mill as
it is located in the heart of the
wheat raising belt and two years
ago shipped over a million bushels
of wheat. Last year 100000 bush
els went out and this years run
will probably be about the same The
protein test Of wheat here is from
1872 to 1718.
The new firm is a progressive
company with ample financial re-
sources and this city would benefit
greatly if they decide to locate here.

INDUSTRIAL REVIEW
FROM c. N. REPORT
PRESIDENTS BUDD'S REPORT
TELLS OF PROGRESS AND
IMPROVED METHODS

The thirty-sixth annual report of
the Great Northern Railway for the
year ending December 81, 1924, a
copy of which was received here by
stockholders of the company is an
excellent industrial review of the
territory covered by the Great
Northern as we'll as the progress
made by the company.
Autos Hit C. N. Revenue
Long haul passenger traffic has
increased during the year although
the total passenger revenue showed
a decrease. The general public is
beginning to use more autos for
short trips leaving the railroads to
care for the long trips alone.
Montana Oil Wells
The future of the oil industry in
Montana shows an increase. Two
hundred eighteen wells are reported
at Kevin-Sunburst which produced
more than million barrels of crude
oil in 1924. Two refneries have
been built at Kalispell and the ca
pacity of the Great Falls and Lew
iston refneries increased.

Boys Have Narrow Escape
From Injury Early Sunday

Two young men motoring from
Poplar to spend Sunday with friends
in Wolf Point had narrow escape
from injury, on the highway about
five miles from town, early Sunday
morning. The boys, John Helmer
and Clayton Balm, were riding in a
Ford car and going at moder-
ate rate of speed when the car hit
a culvert in such a manner that it
tipped the car completely over,
bending the front axle, smashing
the windshield and tearing the top
to pieces. Both boys escaped un-
injured. The car was brought to
the Motor Sales firm of this city
for repairs.

Stanley Buresh Issues a
Challenge to Contenders

The following letter received by
the editor of The Wolf Point Her
aid from Stanley Buresh at Clark
son, Nebraska is self explanatory
'Please issue a challenge if any
of the boys there want return
match. l am willing to meet any
one at any time and place on any
terms to suit themselves.
"Jake Aemand of Billings, Dick
Daviscourt, or Stan Zbysko. Also
would bet Tom Alley $500 that
could beat him twice in an hour in
a 20 foot ring, on a winner take all
basis or either way. The last match
I had with Alley we had a ring about
10 feet square, which is very in
convenient for any kind of match,
and especially handicap match.
This means that we need a good re-
feree, not like the one we had at
Glasgow. I also wasn't fit for any
kind of match that day, due to
minor injuries since the match with
Daviscourt. A man feels alright
before he gets on the mat, but all
the aches show up when person
starts working. Please be sure to
publish the challenge with all the
points as I have stated them as
think one thing is as important as
another in this challenge. Also say
"hello" to all my friends.
Your sincere friend,

A story of adventure in real life
which is not lacking in some of the
allurement of Robert Louis Steven

ing out of the escapades Of a quar-
tet Of young boys whose homes

Many of the details of the story are
scarcely past the rumor stage but
since the matter has been taken up
by the sheriff's Office and the coun-
ty attorney the facts so far as poss-
ible will be brought to light through

Most Of the thrill of the strange
tale centers around the story of one
of the Bainville boys, age about ID,
who claims a treasure horde of sew
eral thousand dollars, all in silver
buried on his fathers farm. The
location of his cache he has so far
refused to reveal because he fears
some of his elders will deprive him
of it. His explanation Of how he
came into possession of this amount
of coin is said to be substantially
as follows:
Seven years ago he says he dis
covered man doing something in
a mysterious manner at a certain
place in the field. Soon afterward
the boy examined the spot and found
evidence that a hole had been dug
and refilled. But he made no eff
fort at that time to discover what,
if anything, had been hidden there.
But the incident stuck in his mind |
and he visited the spot often enough
to exactly remember the location
and his curiosity as to what might |

With his years.
Seeks Buried Treasure
Last spring he decided to do
some digging with the results he
,laims, that he unearthed box con-
aiming $4,709.00. He says that in
he night he took a team from his
ather's barn and hitched it to a
tone-boat and driving to the spot
