TERRY LIGHT PLANT
DESTROYED BY FIRE

TERRY, Nov. Explosion OF
a gas torch used to start an aux
iliary engine badly burned an at
tendant at the Terry Electric
Light and Power company mere
Thursday night and caused a
blaze which burned the plant to
the ground. 1t was only after
fighting the flames for hours that
firemen were successful in keep
ing the fire from surrounding
buildings.
Total loss has not been estl-
mated by company officials but
Terry is without light and power.
Stored barrels of oil exploding
furnished an unusual pyrotechnlc
display which could be seen for
many miles around the town.
The plant can not be replaced
within month, according to Of
ficials of the Montana-Dakota
Light and Power company, which
firm owns the Terry branch. 1t
is likely that a power line VIII
be extended from the Glendlve
station but no definite announce
ment was available Friday.

PERMANENT MODERN TOURIST
PARK, COMMUNITY PROJECT
CLUB LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN
FOR FUNDS-FIVE ARE
NAMED ON COM.

A tourist park of the right kind
is recognized by the officials of
the Commercial club as an enter
prise of the highest Importance to
the city and community, something
upon which time and money may
be spent with large dividends ac-
curing in the future. For several
years past the problem has proved
difficult of satisfactory solution.
The rapid progress being made
on the system of federal and coun-
ty highways, and the unmistak-
able changes which motor vehic-
les are bringing about in business
and habits of travel bring con-
vincing proof that the community
which does not prepare for the
new conditions is not living up to
it's opportunities. At a recent
meeting of the club directors, at
which a number of members were
also present, the question of an
adequate permanent tourist park
was discussed thoroughly, and the
conclusion reached that Wolf
Point needs and must have a
means of taking care of it's tour
ist visitors. 1t was pointed out
that the completion of the Roose-
velt highway entirely across the
state, which will be achieved with
in a few years, the building or
north and south county highways,
and the bridging of the Missouri,
which is now merely a matter of
time, will place Wolf Point in
position to benefit largely from
the motor travel which will come
this way. The volume of this
travel, it was claimed, can be
on to increase by leaps
and bounds within a very few
years.
The present make-shift system
of renting ground and making a
few temporary and inadequate inn
to provide a so-called
tourist park, was held to be a
waste of money and productive of
unsatisfactory results The pur-
chase of a site seemed to be the
first essential Accordingly the
motion was unanimously passed
authorizing and instructing the
president to name a committee to
raise a fund for the purchase of
ground and meeting the expense
of the more important improve
ments. The action of the directors
was encouraged by the offer of
George Littlefield to meet the
club of the city more than half
way in the enterprise of estab-
fishing and constructing a park,
such as would prove attractive
and satisfactory to travellers, pro-
vided an agreement can be reach
ed.
The president this week named
as such committee ]. B. Randall,
chairman, j. H. Coffey, o. T. Stem
mes. Ed Camrud and L. M. Clay
ton. The committee expects to
hold a meeting soon and form
plans for putting on the campaign

TRAPP HANDS
OVER DECISION
MARTIN, SUBBING IN MAIN
BOUT, TAKES a TERRIFIC
BEATING BUT STICKS

The boxing card put on at the
Liberty theatre on the 18th by
promoter, Bill Jacobi drew fair
attendance of fans. 1t was the
first ring event put on here for
some time and the posters adver-
tised four bouts totaling 2S
rounds.
The curtain raiser was a four
round go between John Taylor
and Steve Dorgan, local boys.
Taylor won the decision.
The second event was between
Boy Mccormick and Young Pet
role, six rounds. Mccormick
showed considerable class as a
boxer and won the decision over
the Glasgow boy
The third event was to have
been between Tom Kelly, who
halls from Chicago, and Sammy
Davis of Poplar. Davis was un-
able to keep the engagement and
Harvey Novotny of Great Falls
was substituted. This bout was
rated the best on the card by the
crowd, and was declared draw.
The finals was supposed to
have brought together Sammy
Trapp, the fighting parson OF
Grand Forks, and George Gilstrap
of Great Falls. Gilstrap is a box
er with a fine record behind him
and would have made a sensation
al match of it with the tough col
ored boy, but he injured his hand
in a match at Great Falls two
days before and withdrew. Jack
Martin, boxer from Jackson,
Mont, happened to be at Glasgow
and was secured to fill the place.
The bout is described by those

This is Book Week. Why not
celebrate it by reading at least
one good book?
The curtain has been rung
down on football, and interest
from now on will be centered on
basket ball. Letters and stripes
have been ordered for the foot
ball men, The boys made good
record. Our finances are in good
shape as we cleared almost $3.50
on the football season. In addi-
tion some equipment was purchas-

girls and boys basketball teams
will be purchased.
In the football semi-finals, Bill

while Great Falls held Butte to
0. Glasgow defeated us 6 to 0,
while Glendive defeated us 19 to
O. If scores tell anything, we had
good team. 1t needs weight to
put it in the championship class.
Next year we will have another
heavy line. We are going to need
backfield material.
The Frazer Games
The first game which was played
here was 13 to 6 in favor of the
Wolf Point grade football team.
In the second game the score was
21 to 13 in favor of Wolf Point.
The Frazer team played a fine
game of football and showed a
great improvement over last week.
Their line is very light and is un-
able to hold long enough to give
their backfield time to get away.
When they did hold, Frazer plow-
ed through for some good gains
that netted them two touchdowns
in the third quarter.
Frazer kicked off to Wolf Point
and Kermit Smith ran the ball
back thirty yards to Frazer's 45-
ward line. The next three plays

According to an ancient custom
inaugurated in the early history
of our country, President Coolidge

a. as the day upon which the
people of the United States should
express to their Creator, as ma
ton, their deep gratitude for his
care and protection during the
past year.
The proclamation follows:
"Under the guidance and watch
full care of divine and beneficent
providence, this country has been
carried safely through another

to bestow upon us the light of His
countenance and we have prosper
ed Not only have we enjoyed
material successes, but we have
advanced in wisdom and in spirit

There has been advancement in
our physical well-being. We have

Sd HARTE WELL
PROVES CUSHER
BIG BLOCK OF COMPANY'S
STOCK HELD BY LOCAL
INVESTORS

The Hannah-Porter Company
brought in what may prove to be
the greatest producer of all the
oil wells in the Kevin-Sunburst
field, when it shot its Harte well
No. 8. Estimates of the gusher
varied from 5000 to 10000 barrels
of oil a day, but there has been
no opportunity for accurate tests.
A short time after the well be
gan spouting oil and gas it caught
fire and burned fiercely for near
ly two days. The oil is believed
to have ignited when it flowed
against the superheated bricks
which walled in the gas burners
under the boilers. Gas is the fuel
used for generating steam, but the
burners had been turned out
shortly before the nitroglycerine
was lowered to break the encasing
formation over the oil. The der
rick and drill house were quickly
consumed and in it's first stages
the fire is said to have been
thrown by the pressure of this
oil and gas to a height of 250 feet
A battery of extra boilers was
brought into position around the
fire so that jets of steam under
high pressure could be brought
to bear, which is virtually the only
means of controlling the oil fire.
Tuesday morning the fire sub
sided, partly because the hole had
bridged itself and shut off the
pressure. No difficulty was anti
cipated in clearing the hole when
arrangements had been made for
taking care of the oil according to
S. w. Hannah, vice-president of
the company, who is in the city.
After the fire was extinguished
the well was capped.
The news of the strike and the
fire was. of sensational interest to
several Wolf Point men who are
large stockholders lin the Han
nah-Porter Company, and who are
feeling decidedly well satisfied
with their investment. A. w. Hux-
sol. largest local stakeholder is
director of the company. Several
other Wolf Point men have invest
ed in royalties in tract just
next south of the tract on which
the Harte wells are located. The
Harte well No 3 is 440 feet from
Harte we'll No. 2 which was
brought in only a few weeks ago.

BREAKS OCCUR IN KICK
And VIDA PHONE Line

The Vida broadcasting station
KICK went out of service for a
few days this week on account of
burned out tubes. G. w. Hamblin
secured the necessary new parts
and forwarded them to Vida and
the station is again in working
order.
At the same time that the sta
tion was out of commission, one
of the wires of the phone line to
Vida broke, apparently on account
of contraction where the line eros
ses the Missouri. The accident
DESTROYS the metallic circuit sys-
tenn but by grounding the system

GLENDlVE'S OBJECTIONS
TO THE BRIDGE
(CircIe Banner)

When the Northern Pacific Rail
way last fall announced its inten-
ton. to construct an extension of
it's line into the Redwater country
from Glendive, Bert Hammond,
then Secretry of the Glendive
Chamber of Commerce, referring to
the new development that would
take place in this famous valley,
was extremely loud in his praise
of what wonderful country we
have here. However, Glendive
now has a new Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, one j. L..
Taylor, who has been on the job
a few months and apparently does
not think much of Circle, Brockway
or any other portion of McCone
county. He refers to a proposed
Federal Hiway through this county
as a "Jackrabbit Hiway", for the
benefit of few coyotes. He seems
to be especially excited at the pre-
sent time about Federal Highways.
In report of the Wolf Point meet
ing held recently regarding the
proposed north and south Federal
road, Terry to Circle, Wolf Point
and Scobey. Taylor according to
the Dawson County Review referr-
ed to it as a "Plot" on the part
of the people of McCone, Prairie
and Roosevelt counties to destroy
the present Canada to Mexico high
way which is routed by way of
Scobey, Plentywood, Sidney and
Glendive, and warned the citizens
of Dawson, Wibaux and Richland
counties to waken up and show
their interest in the matter lest
their rivals to the west succeed
in their 'nefarious project, as
Taylor put it. However here is the
highspot of his report appearing
in the Review:
"Diverting money to this pro-
posed road will mean "Jackrab-
bit Hiway" through the most
SpdFSely Scttlcu GiCdS " ''o'N"e'-
IT will be of little benefit to any
one except the coyotes of McCone
county,"
WOW. How do you like that?
We presume that would also be
true of the east and west highway
from Jordan to Circle and Glen
dive. or would the fact that it runs
into Glendive's main street make
a difference?
Speaking of plots. What about
that Commissioners Assn" re-
Gently formed and to which our
commissioners here in McCone'
wisely saw fit not to JOIN? 10
us it looks as though that was
some nice little planned out plot
to put something over. Most GER
tainly Dawson, Richland and little
Wibaux would have the upper hand
of things, and it doesn't take
blind man to see it.

Secretary, has pulled several stunts
