Former Police Chief Claude F.
Johnson, who Friday became city
controlling, succeeding William c.
Buser, Mayor Duvalls brother-in-
law, today took up preliminary.
duties of his Office.
He visited the Office this morn
ing to familiarize himself some
what with the routine, but expected
to "go to work in earnest Tuesday.
Monday is holiday.
A persistent rumor that Buser
was to receive $4,000 berth in the
boared of works Office was denied
by Duvall. 1t also had been
rumored that Buser was to replace
City Purchasing Agent John j.
Collins.
Friend Helps Collins
r But 1t was reported today that a
friend had interceded for Collins
and he would remain. Trial OF Col
Inns on charge of soliciting a bribe
is pending in Criminal Court.
With Duvall facing false election
statement charges Sept IL, before
Criminal Judge James A. Collins,
many believed the appointment of
Johnson as controller was paving
the way for Duvall's resignation.
Duvall did not comment.
City hall observers were discus
sing a report that Buser was to
succeed Ralph Boyer, works board
clerk and junior field aid in the
flood prevention department. Those
familiar with Boyer's work declared
Buser has not had the technical
education required for the post.
Boyer has been regarded as very
efficient and is backed by the works
board. Duvall said Buser, away on
vacation, would return to private
life.
Deny Changes Planned
Virgil vandagrifft, works board
president, and Frank Cones, board
member, said they knew of no
changes planned in the works board
staff.
A report that Wayne G.. Emmel-
man, works board secretary. would
be succeeded by Boyer was discred-
'ited today because of Emmelman's
wide acquaintance and his position
as Republican city and county sec
retary.
Emmelman is strong George v.
Coffin faction supporter.

in its church building next Sunday
after an absence of seven Sundays.
The church has undergone an eX-
teusive change inside. The roof
has been Strengthened and new
steel cables and trusses placed in
it to give it strength The old cell
ing has been torn down and new
one of "sheetrock' put in its place.
The new ceiling has been dressed
with two coats of "textone" and
strippled giving it the appearance
of some of the old English manor
house ceilings. The walls have
been freshly calcimined and the
lighting system changed to elimi-
nate ceiling shadows. These re
pairs necessitating the expendi-

forth some very generous giving
on the part of the members and

work has been in the hands of

The warm spell reminds John
Pipal that in 1910 the river broke
up March 10. Old timers tell of
a year several years previous when
the water was so high that the
meadow west of town was a brim-
ming lake. At three places the
food took short cut back to the
river across the stretch between
Oldtown and what is now Fair

Mr.. Pipal says the snow all went
off in February and, although the

JOHN LISTERUD
ENGAGES IN OIL
PIONEER BUSINESSMAN PLANS
SERVICE STATION NEAR
THE SHERMAN

An evidence of faith in the pros
perity and progress of Wolf Point
I was shown by John Listerud, pion.
4 eer businessman of this city, when
\ he announced this week that he
intends to construct first class
service station on Main street di-
rectly north of the Sherman hotel.
Mr. Listerud owns the lot north
of the hotel and is making plans
for beginning construction as soon
as the weather is suitable for
outdoor work. The building will
be of fire-proof material, either
brick, tile or stucco Included
with it will be storage tank and
such other constructions as will
be necessary. Mr.. Listerud in
tends to care fog the station him
self when it is opened for business,
as his health requires him to be
out of doors.
Early Businessman
John Listerud is one of the
builders of Wolf Point, having
been identified with the town since
June l, 1910 when he came here
to make his home. He opened a
lumber yard at that time and was
the proprietor of it until 1913 when
he sold il to the Rogers -Templeton
company. Other enterprises he
has been instrumental in opening
here are a grain elevator, electric
plant and flour mill. In 1920 ne
sold the electric plant and since
then has disposed Of his other
as the opportunity TO
close profitable deals has arisen.
Aids Church and School
In many other than purely bust
ness enterprises Mr.. Listerud has
also been a pioneer and builder
He was one of the founders OF the
Union congregation which was the
first church in Wolf Point and when
the size warranted split into the
Lutheran and Presbyterian church
es. He was one of the three men I
who financed the building of the I
first schoolhouse in this city.

SHOWS STYLES
NEW STORE CARRIES UP-TO-
DATE LINE OF WOMEN'S
READY TO WEAR

Cooks Ready-To-Wear. success
sors to the Globe, opened its doors
to the public Wednesday evening
at 5 O'Clock with a style show
The new store is under the manage
ment of Mr.. and Mrs. John F.
Cook, well known business people
of this city. They have recently
lreturned from buying trip to the
Twin Cities and the fine display
of women's clothing on display
| Wednesday night was ample proof
| of their taste in selecting styles
and of their buying ability.
High Quality Line
In the past the old store carried
both mems and women's furnish
ings. The new store is emphas-
izing women's ''ready-to-wear" and
in limiting the extent of the lines
has brought to Wolf Point the
best quality of women's clothing
Many Wolf Point women who have
lived in other towns and are eX-
perienced shoppers in the towns
of northern Montana were heard
to say that Cooks now carries the
highest grade of women's clothing
of any store in any town east Of
Havre. This should be decided
boost for Wolf Point as it will no
doubt bring many out of town
shoppers here.
New Features
Hats, dresses, coats, raincoats,
house dresses, hosiery, accessories,
shoes, and the numerous articles
which go to make up milady's ward
robe were tastefully exhibited
about the remodeled show rooms of
Cooks. A new feature which won
instant approval from the ladies
of the town was the recently added
fitting and dressing rooms. Several
full length mirrors have been adj
ded, show cases rearranged and
new ones put in. An efficient and
smiling corps of clerks were on
hand to answer questions and aid
customers in their choice. At
souvenirs were given to the
ladies'. Musical numbers were
during the evening. 1t
was estimated that nearly 500
people passed through the new
store during the evening.
