BRYAN VISITED WOLF
POINT FIVE YEARS AGO

William Jennings Bryan was q
visitor in Wolf Point five years age
when he was enroute to the demo
cratic convention in San Francisco
in 1920. His more immediate des-
tination at the time was Great
Falls where he was scheduled to de-
liver lecture on the Chautauqua
platform.
Miss Virginia Nesbit of the Her
aid staff may be the last person in
Wolf Point who saw and talked with
Bryan. She met him last Septem-
ber at Albany, Oregon, a short dis
tance from Portland, when he was
on speaking tour during the Presi-
Dental campaign.
Thousands of people came from
all parts of the adjoining country to
hear him and stood for more than
an hour on cold, cloudy day wait
ing for his train to arrive. Many
of the old time democrats of that
state held him in the highest respect
and almost worshipped him. Help
had to be called to hold the crowd
back so eager were they to shake
his hand after the speech.

r. j. Moore Receivers
Valuable Lodge Ring

r. J. Moore, manager of the Sher-
man hotel thinks he is the luckiest
man in Roosevelt county. One day
last week he lost a Knight Templar
ring which he values very highly.
A careful search of all the posi-
Bile places it might be failed to re
veal it and he had given it up for
lost. As a last resort he decided
to search some machinery in the
basement of the hotel, where he
had been working the day it was
missed. Each piece of the mach
inery was carefully taken apart
and searched and the ring was To-
Gated in the last piece gone over,
where it had lodged between two
compartments in a piece of laun-
dry machinery known as an Eek
tractor"

QUAKE RELIEF WORK
MAKES GOOD PROGRESS

Judge Chas. Gordon, county
chairman of the earthquake fund
campaign reports encouraging pro-
gress in the work of raising Roose-
velt's quota of $1,14O. The COM
mitteemen named in other towns of
the county have accepted their posts
and will, no doubt, push the work
in their respective fields.
A meeting will be held today ts
complete the work of districting
Wolf Point and enlisting solicitors
to make complete canvass. The
amount to be raised in each COM
munity is so small that it will prove
burdensome to none, and surely
none will fail to contribute their
mite. No finer or worthier cause
has been made the object of a
campaign. Several voluntary con-
have been received by
Judge Gordon.
1t is case of unfortunate neigh
bors, and our sister cities and coun-
ties are our neighbors.

GOLFERS MISS OUT
ON WILLISTON TRIP

The Wolf Point golfers failed to
get lined up to accept the very
gracious invitation of the Williston
Golf Club for a meet at Williston
last Sunday. Only few knew about
the invitation in time to make plans
to go and such plans as were made
were frustrated at the last minute
Many of the members were anxious
to go and feel very badly over the
way the trip fizzled out and hope
the Williston club will accept an in
vitation to come here.
The latest golf sensation is the
81 score turned in by DR.. Burgess,
which skaters all records. Some
good work on the course is being
engineered this week by President
Rathert and Secretary Chapman.

BEYER THRESHES
FIRST new WHEAT
TEST SHOWS GOOD YIELD AND
HIGH QUALITY FOR AN
EARLY YIELD

G.. F. Boyer, whose farm is less
than mile from the northwest city
limits, threshed out a small test of
his wheat crop Tuesday and was
we'll pleased with the result. Two
loads of bundles taken from a space
of rather less than two acres yield
ed wheat that weighed out AT bu-
shells.
When delivered at the Equity ele-
vator the grain tested 58 pounds to
the bushel and graded No. 1 hard.
Manager Bannister of the Equity
says the wheat has excellent color
and bears every evidence of high
milling quality and high gluten test.
The test points to yield of close
around 25 bushels to the acre and
is very encouraging. Many of the
fields close in are as good or bet
ter than this one. The threshing on
Mr.. Beyer's farm was the earliest
so far as learned, but today, the
Both, it is reported that Charley
Hall is threshing on his farm just
west of town, with his own rig.
Mr.. Boyer does not intend to
complete his threshing now. The
rig is his own and he is getting a
crew together and will soon start
on his regular circuit.

HUMBLE MOUNTAIN
MEN PAY TRIBUTE
IN REVEREND MOOD AT BIER
OF DEFENDER OF THEIR
CHRISTIAN FAITH

Dayton, Tenn, July 28.-Viewed
by men from the mountains and by
women whose shoulders were bow
ed from toll, the still form of Will
liam Jennings Bryan lay in state
late today in an unpretentious
southern home.
Quietly and with solemn faces
the east Tennessee hill men filed in
to the Richard Rogers home, and
stepping softly moved into the flow
er-strewn front room where reclined
in his casket the body of the form
er secretary of state, eloquent ad-
vocate of universal peace.
They looked intently a moment
at the peaceful face of him to whom
they had looked-and looked not in
vain-as the champion of their
Christian faith. They looked upon
the proud and noble features under
their glazed covering and moved
away, passing around sentry of
the American legion, posted with
arms folded over his olive drab
breast.
Family Gathers
And while members of the inn
mediate family were hurrying
across the continent from Califor-
MIA and other western and middle
western states, countless thousands
we're penning messages of sympathy
to the widow.
Among the foothills of the Cum
oerlands where he spent the closing
lays of his career, farmers paused
% talk with neighbors of the man
who had passed.

SETTLERS TURN
TOWARD MONT.
MANY INQUIRIES INDICATE
STRONG INTEREST IN
TREASURE STATE

Helena, July 27.-New settlers
from other states in the Union,
where large percentage Of the ag-
ricultural lands have already been
developed to the peak, and where
conditions are becoming crowded,
are today turning to Montana, COM
paratively new territory which can
rightfully claim to have the great
est field of undeveloped and varied
resources in the United States.
The past several months have
brought to the State Land Settle
ment division letters of inquiry
from many prospective settlers.
These, of course, do not include all
prospects inasmuch as great many
additional ones are handled through
Federal land agencies, the State Land
board, and real estate firms, not in
cluding a number of new settlers
who come into the state without
making contact with any state or
private agency. ~
The bulk of the inquiries receiv-
ed have been from Iowa, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and
the Dakotas, or mainly central states,
with scattered communications COM
ing from New Mexico, Washington,
Oklahoma, Idaho, Kansas, Missouri,
Oregon, California, Maine, Florida,
Michigan, New York, Ohio, Arkan-
sas, Massachusetts,, Tennessee and
Pennsylvania. Several inquiries re-
garding settlement in Montana have
also been received from Alberta and
Saskatchewan in Canada.

EARLY POTATOES
Are PROFITABLE
RIVER BOTTOM LAND AGAIN
PROVES ITS WORTH WHEN
WELL TITLED

Cash returns of S27O from one
acre of spuds is the report turned
in by Chas. Stille. whose farm is
on the bottom land a few miles
across the Missouri. Mr.. Stille does
not farm on an extensive scale but
follows intensive methods. For a
number of years he has specialized
in potatoes, aiming at a crop that
he can market at early season prices.
This season, among other crops
he planted three acres of potatoes,
two of the early Six Weeks" vari-
ETY., which he says are about the
same as the early Ohio, and one
acre of the latter variety. From
one acre of the early sort he has as
stated s270, selling part of them
at six cents pound and the last
load at four cents.
Mr.. Stille expects the two acres
to bring him $500, while the third
acre will add largely to his total.
Excepting for the seed and a few
days hired labor in digging, these
have been produced through his own
labor and without cash outlay. This
month has been dry and Mr.. Stille
has no way of irrigating. His main
crop is alfalfa and he also raises
corn and some grain in connection
with live stock.
