DETERMINED TO
IMPROVE STREET
BUSINESSMEN MEET, CONSIDER
MEANS OF REPLACING MUD
WITH HARD SURFACE

A general meeting of businessmen
was called today by President Sew
erson of the Commercial club fol
the special purpose of considering
ways and means of dealing with the
problem of improving Main street
which is in deplorable condition
owing to the lack of hard surfacing
and the continued rains.
About 25 representative men
gathered in the lobby of the Sher-
man and were called to order by
President Severson. A general dis
cussion and expression of opinion
followed. 1t appeared that the at
titude of a considerable number of
the businessmen along the street
had already been felt out by All Ap-
plegren who opened the discussion.
Mr.. Appelgren said he found all
those interviewed of the opinion that
the street must be put in better con-
dition and all were willing to sub
scribe to a fund to do the work if
necessary. He said Fay Bartholo-
NEW, county engineer, had been re-
quested to prepare a rough estimate
of the required work and the cost.
Cost Estimate
Mr.. Bartholomew was called on
and outlined a plan for surfacing
the street from Second avenue to
Fourth avenue and the intersections,
the surfacing to be confined to 30
foot strips at the sides on the block
between Second and Third. The
surplus dirt that must be removed
before gravel or cinders could be
laid could be moved to the center
of the street and be taken away af-
terward. The estimates were based
on the removal of eight inches or
more of dirt from the sides of the
street and the filling in with six
inches Of gravel or cinders. A less
quantity would serve the purpose
for the present Mr.. Bartholomew
said The estimated cost was from
$500 to $4,000 according to the,I
thoroughness Of the job.
Committees
John Cook, A. w. HuXsol, Joe
Wigtil, H. N. Marion, w. L. Young,
o. G. Heinze and just about every
body present entered into the dis
cussion. 1t was made evident that
there was present a spirit of united
determination to bring about the
needed improvement.
Two committees were decided on
as necessary to carry the enterprise
ahead, and were named by the chair
man. These are: on soliciting, A.
V. Appelgren, A. w. Huxsol, R. L.
Stephens To meet with the City
Council and learn to what extent
he city was able to cooperate, j.
VI. Wigtil, H. N. Marion, w. L.
Young, John F. Cook, Fay Bartholo-
new. The Council meets next Mon
lay night.

BALL FANS TALK
6-TOWN LEAGUE
PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR REAL
BASEBALL IN CORN BELT
NEXT SEASON

It is quite within the realm of pos.
sibility that next Fall this part OF
the Northwest will have a little
World Championship series of its
own. The situation has been care
fully surveyed and plans proposed
for siX-town baseball league for
1926.
Williston, Plentywood, Scobey,
Glasgow, Wolf Point and Sidney are
the logical towns to include, it is
believed, as they are we'll punched
and all are good ball towns. Four
of them had good teams this season
and all have been strongly represent
ed on the diamond in former years.
George Eastman Here
George Eastman, member of
Wolf Points state championship
team of several years ago, and of
Scobey's great 1925 team, is here
to promote the scheme in this city.
Dallas who played second base for
Scobey is also here. The idea of an
organized league and some real base
ball like we used to have is meeting
with favor wherever it has been pre-
sented, it is said. 1t is claimed that
it is the only plan by which worth
while ball can be realized. The
proposed plan calls for a game each
Sunday and one mid-week game. The
season would be divided into two
periods, the teams to start over on
an even footing at the beginning of
the second period. The pennant
winners for the first and for the sec
ond periods to play a championship
series at the close. On some of the
dates between the scheduled games
the teams could play with towns not
in the league.
Advantages of Plan
Mr.. Eastman has some practical
ideas for raising baseball fund dur
ing the winter, by public dances and
events, that would supplant
the 0ld subscription list method.
Friends of the league idea claim
that a fixed schedule of games that
can be announced in advance makes
good crowds a certainty and the
towns supporting teams receive the
benefit Of the advertisement and the
money spent by the people drawn to
bhe games Numerous similar
leagues in other places have proven
successful when well managed.

MANILA LAWYERS NAME
 USED AS MEMORY TEST
Owners Paid 50 Gents to Each Pupil Who MemorIzed
 Name

Manila, Feb. 13.--A prominent lawyer of Manila who Is known gen. erally simply as Colonel J. N. Wolf son, but whose full name consists of 12 words containing 106 letters, is $11.50 poorer as result of what he terms the remarkable memoriz- ing powers of the Filipino pupils of the high school at Tarlac, province of Tarac.
 Recently Colonel Wolfson was at Tarlac on legal business and during his stay visited the high school. He was visited by the principal, an American, to question the pupils on various topics. After receiving an- swers with varying success he an- nouneed that he would give one peso (fifty cents) to each pupils who could memo orize his full name in 15 minutes.
 The entire school was eager for the attempt, but received something of surprise when Colonel Wolfson wrote on the blackboard the name, Josephus Adolphus Americus Ves- pucius Leonidus Wolsicanicus Alex andricus Naptallcus Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Wolfson.
 At the end of fifteen minutes 23 out of the S3 who made the attempt had memorized the name perfectly.
 Colonel Wolfson was christened in New Orleans more than SO years ago and came here as an officer in the volunteer army during the insur- rection nearly a quarter of cen- tury ago.

RUGGED ATHLETE OF 52 YEARS WON'T'SLOW DOWN
"Bill" Lundy Plays Football With sHomc Team and Is Rated As
 One of the Best on the Grid

Lincoln. Neb., Feb. 13,--James W. ("Bilp) Lundy 5s years old. be- lieves he ranks we'll toward the top of active football players today.
 Lundy who Is an assistant ser- geant-at-arms In the state house of representatives, plays with his homo town grid team and last season was not pulled out of the game either by injury or by the coach. He was a member of the house two years ago and accepted appointment this ses- sion "to be with the old crowd"
 At Sargent, Neb., where Lundy owns a farm and power station, his achievements on the football field, the baseball diamond and in the hemped ring have gained him prominence. For four years. dur ing the time his son, Albro, played with the high school team, the father played with the town team against his son. Later the younger Lundy joined his fathers team, play ing center. Albro took up wrest- ling at the University of Nebraska here. ss,

 James Oberg related that 35 years ago cougar followed him to his fathers door. The elder Oberg kill ed the animal, which proved to be senile.
 Another cougar that S2 years ago fell upon a child tagging behind his parents on trail had dull teeth and claws worn to the fur. A post mortem showed nothing in the stomach but part of leather halter.

GLOOMY FUTURE
 FOR SHIP MAKERS
Scotland's ShipyardS Have Little
 Work Ahead.

Glasgow, Feb. 13.--The immediate position and outlook in the ship building industry are exceedingly grave, according to John Barr presi- dent of the Shipbuilding Employers Federation. in an article in the In- dustrial Review of the Glasgow Herald. The work in hand, where there is any. Is approaching compe- ton and there Is little and in many shipyards nothing, to fill up empty berths, says Mir. Barr. The orders obtainable are taken by builders with out hope of profit; in many cases tender prices make only part provi- sion and in some cases no provision for establishment charges.
 Such condition of affairs, Mir. Barr adds, can not continue in- definitely, nor even for much longer. The feeling actuating shipbuilders generally has been to carry on as best they can, and in doing so they are considering the interests of the workman rather more than those of the shareholders.

NO PROHIBITION FIT FOR MEXICO
Obtain National Drink From Plants in Back Yards

San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 13.-- Manuel c. Tellez new Mexican ann bassador to the United States, en route to Washington. said here yes- terday that prohibition would not be successful in Mexico where the na- tional drink is obtained from plants every Mexican can grow in his own backyard.
 Prohibition In Mexico would "be like putting the brakes on speed ing car and is full of danger" he said.
