ALLEY WORKS FAST:
THROWS FOUR MEN

The wrestling card at Glacier Hall
last Friday night drew a good size
crowd of the sporting fraternity to see
Tom Alley carry out his offer to throw
three local men within an hour. Mar
tin Michaelson, Howard Riddle and
Les Gross were the men who undertook
to keep the professional busy for so
minutes. They all made a good show
ing considering that they do not claim
to be trained in the wrestling game
Gross, the blacksmith, gave Tom the
hardest tussle and kept his shoulders
off the mat about 25 minutes, but
when Alley had finished his job he
still had nearly 20 minutes to spare.
After the crowd had started to leave
the hall, Charlie Shields, an Indian
challenged Alley to a match,
and they finally agreed to terms by
which Alley must pin him to the mat
within ten minutes. Charlie made a
brave effort to hold out for the time,
but it took Alley only about three
minutes to finish the job.

The biggest affair of the kind of the
season is the prediction freely made
for the commercial club supper and
general business meeting to be held
at the Sherman hotel Tuesday evening
of next week. 1t is estimated that
$50 people will attend Most of the
organizations of the city who have
been invited have signified their in
tention to have representatives at the
meeting. The secretary wishes to en-
phasize the fact that the meeting is
not exclusively for men but that wom-
en- are expected to come and partici-
pate in the discussions. Several top
les of more than ordinary interest will
be on the program.
1t will be we'll for those intending

GLASGOW TURNS ON
WOLVES = WINS 20-S

The Glasgow boys and girls teams
won both games from Wolf Point al
the high school gym last Friday night
The Glasgow girls won by a score of
13 to 5. The Wolf Point team has
had but very little practice, but made
good showing on the floor. In fact
the teams appeared more evenly
matched than the score would indi-
cate.
The Wolf Point boys had apparent
ly slumped in form since their west
ern trip, when they won from Glas-
gov and Malta and gave Saco hard
fight and lost by a slight margin.
Glasgow must have been working hard
since they lost to Wolf Point for they
had the locals outclassed last Friday
night in about all departments of the
game and won by score of 20 to 8.
A high school dance was given af-
ter the game at which the visitors and
home students all appeared to have a
fine time.

by the state board of equalization the
county assessors of the state are hold
ing group meetings for the purpose Of

valuation on property of the same
class in nthe different counties.

HOGS YIELD BIG PROFIT
TO SOUTHSIDE FARMER

John j. Beller, one of the successful
McCone county farmers residing a few
miles south of Wolf Point, has re-
ceived returns on a car of hogs that
furnish additional proof Of the profit
ableness of corn and hogs in the farm
ing program in this section.
Mr.. Beller shipped car of 72 head,
all but ten of which he raised himself,
to the Great Falls Meat Co., at Great
Falls. They averaged 225 pounds and
sold at $11.10 per hundred, or $24.97
per head.
Mr.. Beller says he keeps about "a
brood sows and has good bunch of
shotes coming on now. He aims to
give his hogs their growth in about
seven or eight months, depending
largely on green food and roughage,
and finishes them to the weight most
in demand by the packing houses, on
corn. He puts his faith in North Da-
kota White Dent and finds it well
adapted to this region. His 1924 crop
practically all matured and he says
ne has several hundred bushels of
iced that has a termination test of SO
,er cent.

FERGUSON BOLSTER

Local sport fans are keenly inter-

about Is minutes and then shadow

the husky blacksmith, was his spar

BLOCK LIGHT SAVES
SERIOUS ACCIDENT
RED SIGNAL SAVES NO. 27 AT
BROKEN SWITCH, LOHMIL-
LER SIDING, MONDAY

The value of a modern block system
to facilitate in the movement and safe
ty of trains was strikingly demon
strated in an accident that occurred
near Lohmiller, the first siding west
of this station, Monday night.
Train number 27, one of the fast
mail trains which passes through here
soon after midnight, was wheeling
westward at it's usual rate of about
sixty miles an hour when the engin-
eer came in sight of a block signal
showing the red light although his
orders implied that the block was
clear. Following the rules covering
such case the engineer slowed his
train to six miles per hour, and while
going at that rate hit an open switch
on the Lohmiller siding. The engine
and two cars were derailed, but the
low rate of speed made it possible to
bring the train to a stop without
serious damage. Neither the engine
or cars turned over and in a little
over an hour the train was able to
proceed.
The switch lights showed green or
clear track, but the rod controlling the
rails of the switch was brok-
en- and allowed the switch to open
enough to derail the train. 1t was
The broken rod and the open switch
hat made the block signal show red.
Had it not been for the block signal
he fast scheduled train would have
,een going at its full speed and with
'ut doubt would have gone into the
Itch with the probable loss of several
ives, several injuries and heavy dam
ge to the equipment. A few instan-
es such as this soon save the COM ;

CAVE-IN KILLS Ignite
MINER NEAR CIRCLE

Circle, Jan. 22-Ed. Palmerton of
Circle was killed on Gyp creek Friday
while mining Ignite when the high
bank under which he was working
caved in on him.
The frozen dirt, loosened by his
digging, tumbled down without warn
ing, completely burying his body ex-
cept his head. A 12-year-old son,
working nearby, witnessed the acci-
dent and left at once for help. The
body was brought to Circle "a dis
tance of five miles, but efforts at re-
were futile.
Mr. Palmerton was about As years
of age and leaves a wife and eight

$1S4 FOR WHEAT LOAD
VIDA TO FRONT AGAIN

Last week the Herald printed news
story that it found in an exchange
telling of a farmer at Denton who
had received $159 for load of wheat
brought in on bobsled. We followed
this story with an offer of years
free subscription to the first farmer
who beat that record. Tuesday Leon
ard Jacobs of Vida came into the Of
flee and showed the editor an eleva-
tor scale ticket for SO bushels and 30
pounds net sold at $1.97 per bushel,
and also displayed a check for $184.20
in payment.
The advance in price probably helped
Mr.. Jacobs beat the Denton man by
the $25 margin, but the extra high
value of local wheat also had bear
ing on the matter. 1t should be easy
for somebody else to beat Mr.. Jacobs
figure, with wheat climbing like a
scared cat-$2.02 for No. Hard to-
day.

big cities have been favored by i'm
portant conventions but none of them
ever saw congregation of delegates
more earnest in the pursuit of the OBJ

furnished more amusement for the
galleries than the two-hour session at
the Liberty theatre in this city Tues

"The Young Flappers Single Blessed
ness Debating Society,"" This body
meets whenever and wherever it thinks
the most good will result to the mem
bers. While the name of the society
implies that the single state is en-
dowed with rich rewards, the members
are generously willing to alleviate the
woes of the minated males. 1t was
frankly admitted that Wolf Point had
been selected for this convention be-
cause of the large number of neglect

care, who were reported to be darn
ing their own socks, baking their own
pancakes and sleeping alone these
chilly nights, in this city.

issue. 1t might be surmised that

Public Service Commission Duties
Nearly Doubled.

Work of the public service com

The commission regulates all

work in the past few months has
been conducting hearings on bus
petitions. About 500 bus petitions
have been filed with the body, each
requiring a public hearing here or
elsewhere. About 470 of the cases
have been closed. There were 1863

Bowman late Monday filed appli-
cation to abandon present service on
Emerson Ave. between New York
and Twelfth SITS. and to establish an
extension of his New York St. route
to Arlington Ave. The proposed
abandonment of the Emerson Ave.
route. Bowman said. was due to the
fact that the service has been prac-
tically duplicated by street railway
buses on the Tenth st. line.
