CONCLUSIVE ACT
EXPECTED SOON
FEDERAL APPROVAL OF CON-
PLETED BRIDGE PLAN
LOOKED FOR

Early action is hoped and ex-
pected by the federal bureau Of
roads at Washington on the pro-
posal of the state highway com
mission that a free traffic bridge
be constructed by the government
across the Missouri at or near Wolf
Point, with sufficient federal high
way to connect the bridge site
with the Roosevelt highway which
parallels the river on the north.
All the requirements which this
enterprise makes of the state and
McCone county, in the way of pro-
viding finances, have been met,
and the final approval of the bur
eau is confidently anticipated.
Young at Capital

CHANNEL CHANGE
FOR CITY SAFETY
w. |. YOUNG WILL REPRESENT
WOLF POINT AT CAPITAL
NOW ON WAY

At the meeting of the city coun-
Gil held Tuesday evening, the
principal matter that came up for
attention was means of effecting
change in the river channel just
southwest of the city as a means
of protecting the property threat
ened by the erosion of the land. AT
a former meeting of the council,
application was made by the city
to the war department for per
mission to straighten the channel,
but since the work if done by the
city, would incur very heavy ex-
pense, it was deemed highly i'm
portant that, if possible, this work
should be done by the war depart
ment through an act of Congress.
City Represented
Since it was highly important
that such legislation be gotten
through early in the session of
Congress, the council on motion
voted to engage w. L. Young as
its representative at Washington
to employ every means possible
and enlist the aid of our represen-
tatives in Congress to secure this
river work The council also vot-
ed to bear Mr.. Young's expenses
on the trip and to reimburse the
Commercial club which had ad-
vanced funds to Mr. Young for
expenses already incurred and to
be incurred on this trip. Mr.
Young left on No. 4 Tuesday even

Wolf Point %, PIentywood IS
Plentywood was defeated Friday
night in game that kept the
crowd on edge from beginning to
end, and this start promises well
for the new Wolf Point teams
chances in the district.
Two men who were selected as
guards on last years All-District
team, faced each other in the cen
ter ring: G. Ziedler of Plentywood
and LaRoque of Wolf Point.
Plentywood also had L. Gunther,
selected on the All-District second
team as guard last year in their
lineup
Plentywood scored first, G. Zied-
Ter shooting nice one from just
behind center Herman soon even
ed the score by one from close in.
Several shots were missed this
quarter by narrow margins by
both teams. Wolf Point seemed
nervous and was kept almost con
stantly on the defense. Plenty
wood was passing well and seemed
to be using better head work, but /
were somewhat off on their shoot
ing. The quarter ended 2 to 2.
The second quarter was some
what faster than the first Plenty .

through well and Ziedler was con
Meeting with the basket better.
Wolf Points shots were long and I
their passes mostly landed in the
hands of Plentywood. Two fouls
were called, both on Schneider,
one of which G. Zeidler converted.
Herman Gagged one basket in this
quarter while the two Zeidlers
were adding Z points to Plenty
woods score. The half ended with
he score Plentywood 9, Wolf 1
Point 4.
The second half saw Wolf Point {
)egin different style of game.
The long passes were no longer {

or whom they were intended. t
Ierman counted twice and La q

THE HERALD WILL
BEGIN 1928 CLEAN
CRIME, INK OF FORGOTTEN
YEARS SLoUGHED WITH
THE OLD YEAR

If you get a shock and think
you are in the wrong place don't
run out until you make inquiry.
It's the same old stand but has
caught the modern idea of make
up. Amt is funny what a diff
ference just little paint makes.
In other words, few swipes of
kalsomine hides a multitude of
stains. In proof you are invited
to call at The Herald Office and
make New Year call You'll be
surprised. Perhaps to the extent
of making a New Year resolution
to start 1928 right-on our sub
scription list, if not there now.
All of which means that con-
trary to tradition, and at the risk
of being declared unethical by
brother publishers, The Herald of
flee has been indulging in another
"clean house" campaign. The
beauty doctors called in, McCuIIy
e. Bennette. have done their best
on poor subject, and believe us,
the boys know their cosmetics.
Counting the Pieces
Tearing up, tearing down. tear
ing loose. piling, stacking, sort
ing, busting, and putting in good
order the contents of good sized
country print shop is a sizable
chore to do in five days, especial
ly if an excuse for a regular issue
has to be gotten out at the same
time Harry and George got cur
ious to know just how many sep
arate and distinct pieces, articles,
parts and papers there were in
this shop, and this seemed the
best chance ever to find out. So
they started counting After they
had counted the equivalent of
seven dray loads they decided to
estimate the rest by that. The
result of the calculation was
S,226,251. Each of these has some
use or purpose, or is likely to
have, some day when least ex-
pected. incidentally, each piece
cost money wheH bought.
This job of cleaning and refin-
ishing has been contemplated for
several years but there seemed
never to be time to undertake it
So at last it was decided to do it
anyway and do it now. The end

making the final score Plentywood
Is, Wolf Point "a.
There are several weaknesses
apparent in the Wolves playing,
which will have to be ironed out
if the team is to go far this year,
especially in their defense.
/ Burnison, playing his first game
as a regular, probably played the
most consistently throughout the
game. Herman played good
game at forward, but was a little
weak in his passing, especially in
the first half.
G. Zeidler at center was easily
the star of the game, scoring all
except 2 points for Plentywood.

The boys are in excellent con-
dition and can place part of the
credit of the victory to that fact.
Plentywood tired rapidly and were
perspiring and short of wind,
while our boys could easily have
gone another 80 minutes without
extending themselves, even though
the pase the last half was so fast
one could hardly follow the ball
The total receipts from last Fri
days game were S74.95. Our guar
antee to Plentywood was $50
Prospects
Wolf Point will be one of f.he
contenders for championship
honors this year. Our boys are
good trainers and can be depend
ed upon to keep in condition This
is always an item of major i'm
portance in championship team
A few games will give them more
