THAT LONG HOPED FOR
GRAVEL MULCH

The City Council had meeting
Monday evening at which they
opened the bids submitted for gra-
yelling three blocks of Main and

lust across the tracks northwest of
the city limits. Wednesday morn
ing the block between Second and
Third avenues was closed to traf-
fic and the work of grading the

four men and four teams. As
soon as the work of grading has
been completed the surface will be
gravelled to a depth of four inches
and work will be begun on one of
the other blocks.
Contractor Olson expects it will
be possible to complete the work,
or at least get it so far along that
the block may be used by the be-
ginning of the annual Stampede,

in a thorough manner, and first

in the city recently and made ap-
plication with Agent Swedharg Of
the Great Northern for ste on
the right-of-way for the erection

ton has not yet been acted upon.
Mr.. Duis represented that the as
sociation through its local solici-
tor. r. n. Gre, has signed up
over $4,000 acres of wheat under
it's pooling contract, and that they
will need house at this point to
handle grain. The association
owns or controls elevators at many
points in North Dakota This sea

made a serious attempt to sign up
acreage in this part Of Montana.
If the Pool people build here it

and present prospects point to a
crop that will furnish good bust
ness for six grain houses.

that almost assures a bumper

OVER HER HERO
LINDBERGH REJOINS PALS
AND HACKERS, GIVEN
GRAND OVATION

ST. LOUIS, June IA grace
full, silver monoplane, trailed by
work-wor9 biplane of the United
States airmail service, hummed
suddenly out of the deep haze
hanging over Lambert-St Louis
field at 1892 o'clock this afternoon
and five minutes later Col. Char
les A. Lindbergh was home.
Of all the planes up to meet the
world-acclaimed hero, only that
piloted by buddy of the airmail
service, from which the young
history-maker is on leave, was able
to find him in the murky 10 miles
between the flying field and st.
Louis. It was flown by Phillip X.
Red" Love, and carried an Asso-
slated Press correspondent as
passenger.
Hundreds of thousands of St.
Louisans. grouped on roofs, river
banks and in open spaces, had
cheered Lucky Slim" to an echo
perhaps inaudible to him, as for 20
minutes he maneuvered his "'Spir-
it of St. Louis" over the down
town and residence district, cavort-
ing in sweeps and swirls of sheer
Joy at being again over his own
home town.
But it remained for Love to be
the first to greet the intrepid king
of the air and guide him to Lam
bert-St Louis field, where 5000
rain-drenched men and women. in
cluding the world-famed young
iier's mother, Mrs Evaneeline
Lodge Lindbergh, and Dwight Da-
Wis of St. Louis, secretary OF war
waited to greet him.
The crowd, which might well
have numbered O,O00. was held
to the comparative handful by
strict injunction Of the arrange
ments committee to keep away
from the flying field.
Colonel Lindbergh left New
York for his trip home at 6:17
o'clock St. Louis time, this morn

down. prolonged his fight until
he had been in the air nine hours
and 20 minutes, as against seven

Will Tour West
While here the young people
were entertained at private homes.
They left early Tuesday morning,
continuing their journey by way
of Terry and Miles City. They
had intended going by way of
Havre and Great Falls, but, on the
advice of the local branch of the
A. A. A., they took the south
route. Following the Seattle con
vention they expect to spend some
time touring the west before re-
turning home.
The Program
The program consisted OF an
thems and chorals, all OF which
we're rendered in finished man
ner that brought out the harmony
of the compositions and bespoke
careful training. "CrucifiXus"
Alteration of the Shepards', a
medieval Catalonian nativity song
and a simple Norwegian folk
hymn 'Den Store Hvide Flok"
were pleasing numbers, and the
opening and closing anthems,
"The Spirit Also Helpeth Us" and
"Oh, God, Hear My Prayer were
sung in a manner to show the
dramatic power of the voices.
Concordia Grows
The program was divided into
three parts, and before the final
appearance of the young people
the manager of the choir gave an
earnest talk telling about Concor-
dia college, it's aim, and the rapid
growth it has enjoyed during the
last ten years. He said that it
was to graduates of Christian col
leges that the churches must look
for leadership, and spoke OF the
desirability of training Lutheran
young people in colleges main
tanned under the auspices OF the
Lutheran denomination.

EARLY CORN is COMING
FINE; SOME CULTIVATED

In spite Of the cool wet spring
that made early planting impos-
sible, the prospects are good To-
cally for a very considerable corn
crop in 1927. At least two farmers
north of town Geo Hagen and P.
E. Penner, report that their corn
is large enough to permit cultiva-
ton and that they have been
through their fields the first time.
Both of these farmers managed to
get their corn planted at about the
usual date in May They planted
early varieties and the warm
weather that has now set in will
undoubtedly carry it along to ma
turity.
