GATHERS DATA ON THE
BRIDGE PROJECT

morning and remained until We'd
nesday morning when he left to

Senator Wheeler did not come to
hold a meeting, but at the urgent
request of certain of the Indian
leaders who had called a four-day
convention of delegates of about
a dozen tribes in several states.
They wanted him to hear their
appeals for relief legislation by con-
gress. What the Indians spokes-
men said to the senator and what
he said in reply is the subject of
another story.

highway committee of the Com
mercial Club and G. L. Marshall,
club president, improved the op-
portunity to make Mr.. Wheeler ac-

ganized Troop No. 5 of this city
spent last Sunday and Monday
camping eight miles north on Wolf
Greek. Scoutmaster j. R. and
Scout Wilmar Burnison furnished
the transportation out and V. A

enjoyable time, fishing, swimming,
tracking, signaling and various
other scout work.
Robert Lowell and Garnet Mont.
gomery passed their tests in track
ing, fire building, and cooking.
The boys put in some hard labor
on a two foot rock dam which en-
larged the swimming hole consid.
erably. Some of the boys cooked
their first meals and many of
them experienced difficulties such
as trying to make cocoa in a fry
ing pan. However, none of them
went hungry as they soon got on
to the business of cooking over a
camp fire.
Bows who have reached the age
of twelve years and wish to join
may do so by seeing Scribe Rus
sell Huxsol or any OF the officers.
The meetings are held on Tuesday

FIND CLEWS TO
3 DISASTERS
PARTS OF WRECKED PLANES
FOUND IN ATLANTIC
BY SEARCHERS

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Sept 13-
Wreckage of the transatlantic
plane Old Glory has been hauled
aboard the government steamer
Kyle and the boat is zigzagging in
the vicinity searching for traces
of the planes crew, according to
radio message from the steamer
Tuesday.
The Kyle, under charter to the
New York Daily Mirror, whose
managing editor, Phil Payne, was
a passenger aboard the plane and
director of the flight for William
Randolph Hearst, the publisher,
left here Saturday on search for
the plane and reported finding part
of its wreckage late Wednesday.
The indicated location of the
wreckage of the monoplane Old
Glory is more than 800 miles north
of the fishing grounds, making it
improbable that fishermen may
have rescued the three occupants
it was pinted out in marine circles
today. The Newfoundland fishing
fleets ordinarily work south and
southeast of here.
Clews To Ten
NEW YORK, Sept. Water
logged airplane wreckage reported
found at three widely separated
points at sea, today provided clews
regarding 10 brave adventurers
who vanished into Atlantic skies
in their great gamble against the
deep.
The wild north Atlantic began
yesterday to yield its secrets con-
cerning the lost monoplane Old
Glory, and possibly the lost ex-
pedition of Nungesser and Coli,
the monoplane st. Raphael, which
carried the Princess Lowenstein-
Wertheim, and the monoplane Sir
John Caring.
Wreckage of the Old Glory was
reported found by the steamship
Kyle, a rudder and part of the
wing of an unidentified plane were
found on the beach of Newquay,
Cornwall, England, and French
fishing schooner reported having
sighted airplane wreckage three
weeks ago 300 miles east of Hall
fax, N. s. No trace of the f1iers
was reported.
Graveyard of Atlantic

McCONE COUNTY
FAIR LAST WEEK
SPLENDID SHOWING OF FARM
PRODUCTS BRANDS Ex-
HIBIT BEST EVER
(CircIe Banner)

Owing to the busy season, most
folks are busy harvesting and
threshing the big crop, there were
many who could not get away to
take in the fair this year, but at
that the attendance on Saturday
must have been around the three
thousand mark.
The fair was about two or three
weeks too early to make the very
best showing of some agricultural
products, for instance corn. There
was no matured corn on exhibit,
but at that there was very good
creditable showing, and demon
strated that there will be much
fine matured corn raised in Nc
Cone county this year, in spite of
the rather off year for corn. The
tallest corn measured better than
nine feet.
Fine Vegetables
The showing of other agricultural
products was the finest ever shown.
Why you never saw finer potatoes,
cabbage, beets, carrots, onions,
etc, in any other section of the.
state. The grain exhibits were
exceptionally fine and splendid
quality. And the same is true of
the grasses, in fact the exhibits of
grasses were unusually good this
year, there being some mighty
fine displays of alfalfa, sweet clo-
yer and millet
Three individual farm exhibits,
showing everything produced on
the farm this year, was quite an
attraction and drew many fine com
ments from outside visitors at the
fair. First prize went to H. r.
Reinemer, of Lost Creek; second
prize to Geo. Lenz, of Redwater,
and third prize to Henry Hide
brand, who lives sutheast of Cir
Gle.
9-year-oId Bakes Bread
In the Women's department there
were as usual many fine exhibits
of fancy work, and good things to
eat But right here we must tell
you who is the best bread baker in
this community. It's Ethel Garri-
son, nine years old, who took first
prize at the fair, for the best bread,
competing with several other good
bakers, and who are considerably
older.
In the school exhibit there was
a large and exceptionally fine dis
play from the various schools OF
the county. An aeroplane the
spirit of Circle, made by Don
Markell, was real attraction, and
fine piece of work. The display
of wild flowers gathered in Nc
Cone county, was a sight worth

Senator Wheeler Hears
Plea OF Indian Delegates
Conference Representing Many Tribes In Session
Here This Week-Delegates From Idaho, Okla
homa Montana and the Dakotas Plan Program

Wolf Point is entertaining this
week delegates from the various
Indian tribes in Montana, Idaho
and the Dakotas, who are in con-
ference formulating plans for leg
islation that will help the condition
of the Indian. Their endeavors
have the endorsement of Minneso-
ia and Washington Indians. In
particular the things they want
are better care for the aged and
incompetent Indians, better educa-
tion Of the Indian children and a
voice in managing their own af-
fairs. This they believe can best
be accomplished by control of In
dian affairs being taken from the
hands of the Indian department
and put into the hands Of the var
ious states where there are Indian
tribes. The conference began on
the 18th and will conclude Friday.
Meetings are being held in the Coli
scum. Joshua Wetsit is chairman
and Moses Whitehorse, secretary
of the convention.
Senator B. K. Wheeler was here
Tuesday and met with the Indians,
listened to their complaints and
suggestions and spoke to them
briefly and forcefully, saying that
so long as he was in Congress he
would do all that he could to help
the Indians of Montana get what
is due them Tuesday afternoon
he was formally adopted into the
Blackfeet tribe by members of that
delegation, for whom Robert j.
Hamilton, Indian organizer, was
spokesman and interpreter SEN
ator Wheeler was given the name
Bear Shirt, that of former illus
trious chief of the Blackfeet whose
son was one of the delegates from
that reservation. Chief Wolf Plume
and Chief Crow had formal charge
of the christening. Tuesday ev-
ening by unanimous vote of the
convention Senator Wheeler was
adopted as grand chief of all the
tribes represented at the confer
ence.
All the tribes in conference agre-
ed to make a united stand and to
work out a constructive program
for legislation. The latter sessions
of the convention have been given
over to formulating the demands
which will be made of Congress at
the next session, demands which
will affect the general welfare and
needs of the Indians 1t is the
purpose of the Indians to give pub
licity to what they are working
toward and they say the support
of their white friends will be ask
ed.
Senator WheeIer's Talk
In addressing the Indians SEN
ator Wheeler thanked them for the
honor done him by making him a
member of the Blackfeet tribe and
said that he considered it one of
the highest honors that had ever
been conferred upon MIN lndSinucH
as he believed it expressed an ap-
probation of what he had tried to
do for the Indians.
He said that he became interest
ed in the Indians many years ago
when he was u. S. district attor-
ney and was asked by the Flat
head Indians to help them so that
they might bring suit to force the
to carry out the pro-
visions of the treaty of 1855. He
said that in studying into the mat
ter he had found that the govern
ment had violated not only the
of the treaty with the
but had violated treaties

WOLF POINT SCHOOLS READY
TO OPEN MONDAY, SEPT. l9TH

About this time many boys an6
girls announce that they are not
going back to school, though they
have not completed a high school
course, perhaps, not the grammar
grades.
The pocket money they can earn
in some easily obtained job looks
big to them, while results of book
learning look small They do not
ask whether the job they get now
is one through which they can
climb to something better. 1t may
be simply task that can be learn
ed in half a day, after which they
make no progress toward advance
ment.
People climb in this world
through the exercise of brain pow
er. And schools, up-to-date, the
best method the world has de-
vised for developing brain power.
1t does not pay to quit until one
has to.
Statistics compiled by the Bur-
eau of Education of the Depart
ment of the Interior show that of
every hundred boys who start in
as fifth-grade pupils, only two
stay on to graduation from a col
lege or university twelve years
later.
On Monday of next week, Sept.
10, we want you to make the de-
cision to return to school on the
opening day. The first day is al
ways pleasant. Then it is that
you renew old acquaintances and
make new ones.
OF one million persons with NO
schooling or training, six attain
distinction.
OF one million persons with a
high school training, twenty-four
attain distinction.
Of one million persons with
college training, 576S attain dis
tinction. Write your own ticket"
Heavy Enrolment Expected
We expect the Wolf Point school
to open on Monday with heavy
enrolment All summer we have
searched the country for the best
of teachers. We believe that we
have an extra strong faculty All
of the members are especially train
ed in the lines they are to teach.
The new teachers have secured
their experience in some of the
best schools in the west and mid
die west. Mr.. Mcneil, under the
direction of the board, has put the
building in excellent shape. The
woodwork and floors shine. A
new laboratory has been built.
Two of the high school class
rooms have been enlarged. Many
new books are on hand, so there
will be no lack of texts when the
classes open.
We hope to have good foot
ball team. Coach Boe is in trim
and says that the regulars have
been getting their muscles in shape
by shoveling coal, pitching bundles
and riding bronchos. We are go
ing to miss Nichol, Rathert, Moore,
Rygg, Lang, McCown and Thorn
on the football field, but others
will have to take their places. Mr..
Sutton will take charge of the
grade teams and the lower class
high school groups. He will have
charge of the interclass games.
Our band will miss Hide, Thorn,
Anna Heinrich, Moore, Cleo Flint,
and Halle Chapman, but we still
have a fine group arund which to
build a bigger and better band
We hope that some of our gradu-
ates will still "sit in" now and

new DATE FOR
BRIDGE VISIT
OTHER APPOINTMENTS MAKE
NEW PLANS NECESSARY
YOUNG TO CHINOOK

w. L. Young has been in com
munication during the week with
state highway and other officials
concerning the visit of members of
the commission and others to Wolf
Point to consider the merits of
the Wolf Point Missouri river
bridge project
Other Dates Interfere
Some time ago, September IS
was mentioned by the highway
commission as the tentative date
of their visit here, the exact date
being left to be arranged with re-
ference to other demands on the
commissions time. o. S. Warden,
chairman of the commission, wrote
Mr.. Young early in the week that
the Roosevelt Highway association
was holding it's annual meeting at
Chinook on the 10Th and that the
regular monthly meeting of the
commission had been fixed for the
22nd at Helena. Neither of these
dates could be changed so Mr..
Warden said that unless it would
greatly inconvenience people here,
they would like to defer their visit
until after these meetings. Mr..
Young wrote Mr.. Warden that he
would be in attendance at the
Chinook meeting and would consid-
er the matter of a new date with
the commission at that time. 1t
is possible that Mr.. Young will be
able to persuade them to come
here the goth, which would give
them only the time between No.
2 in the morning and No. 3 in the
evening, and the commission would
not reach Helena until noon of the
22nd.
Later Date Better
Mr.. Young says that properly
bridge meeting here should occupy
at least two days, and if the COM
mission and other officials who are
interested will agree to give that
much time at later date, he con-
siders it wise to accept the later
dates. This is particularly true in
view of the fact that President
Ralph Budd of the Great Northern
and other G. N. officials would like
to be here at the time as the COM
mission, and if the meeting was
arranged for the goth there would
be no time to notify them and there
would be but scant time for Nc
Cone county offiials and other peo-
pie to be notified and reach here.
