10000 PEOPLE CHEER WHEN
LINDBERCH ARRIVES AT FAIR
Greatest Crowd Ever damned Into State Fair
Grounds Creets Air Hero And Hears His Talk
In Support Of Greater Development Of Aviation

/ (Montana Record-Herald, Sept g.
Montana today paid homage at
the shrine of Americas air hero.
One of the greatest crowds that
ever assembled at the state fair
elbowed and squeezed its way to
points of vantage to catch a
glimpse or hear a word spoken by
the touselheaded youth whose ex-
ploits have emblazoned his name
on history's pages.
Early estimates of 10000 were
apparently borne out when Lind
bergh and his guard of honor
reached the Playground Long be-
fore noon, every available seat in
the grandstand and bleachers
was taken.
The crowd was apparently in
formed of instructions that no
planes should be allowed in the
air until after Lindbergh landed,
hence at 1:25, when a black dot
appeared on the northern horizon
directly over Beartooth mountain
skirting the Missouri, the thous-
ands turned to watch it.
Plane Appears in Sky
The plane had a yellowish tinge,
yet it was believed to be the pilot
plane. At 1870, however, a silver
monoplane which was definitely
identified as the pilot ship appear
ed in the northeast from the direc-.
tion of Great Falls, circled sew
eral times and landed at the mu-
nicipal airport. The crowd waited
and watched for the appearance Of
the second speck on the horizon
which they knew would be the
Lindbergh plane. Promptly at
1:5O, 10 minutes ahead of sched-
ule, cleaning speck broke
through a bank of clouds beyond
Scratch Gravel mountain. The
plane was flying high. 1t was
headed directly south towards the
grandstand. All eyes were turned
toward the approaching monoplane
and when it went over the grand
stand too high to distinguish the
numerals on the wings, mighty
cheer went up. This plane, guided
by the master hand of the con-
queror of the Atlantic, was being
piloted in a manner that identified
it as Lindbergh's aerial instru-
ment. The plane then came into
view of the thousands assembled
at the fair grounds when it circled
to land at the municipal
airport.
Wind Stirs Dust Storm
A strong northwest wind was
the dust from Mount
Helena. Within a few minutes
the announcement was made
amplifiers that Lindbergh

SEN. B.K. WHEELER
HERE SEPT. 18TH
WILL ATTEND INDIAN CONFER
ENCE AND LEARN WHAT
THEY DESIRE

Senator B. K. Wheeler will be
in Wolf Point on Sept. 13 to meet
with a delegation of Indians re
presenting the various tribes of the
northwest states. These Indians
will meet in convention here Sept
13 to 16 inclusive to confer regard
ing a practicable plan of legisla-
tion which would give the self
supporting Indians more control of
their property.
The convention will be similar
to the one held here last April,
but it is expected that there will
be a greater number of delegates
at this conference. Joshua Wet
sit, chairman of the convention
says that he has received assur-
ance that delegates will be pres
ent from Ft Berthold, Fort Totten
Turtle Mountain and Standing
Rock reservations in North Dako
ia, the Sisseton reservation in
South Dakota, the Crows, Black
feet and Fort Belknap reservations
in Montana. Four cars of Nez
Perce Indians are on their way
here from Idaho and it is probable
that there will be representatives
of the twenty-four tribes of Wash
ington Mr.. Wetsit has received
letters from Minnesota Indians en-
dorsing the work that is being done
in an attempt to secure legislation
of benefit to the Indians.
1t was hoped that Senator Wheel
er could be present on the 18th
when the Indians would have their
plans for legislation in better shape
to present to him, but Mr.. Wetsit
received a wire from him Tuesday,
sent from Hayre, saying that it
would be impossible for him to be
in Wolf Point on the 10th, but that
he would be here on the 18th.
Robert J. Hamilton of Butte, an
indian organizer, will be present
luring the conference. At the
meeting last April Joshua Wetsit
was elected chairman of the con-
yention and Moses Whitehorse,

Frank Weinrich to Use
Mondak Jail for Grain

BAINVILLE.-Fort Union, known
some years ago as Mondak, once
the county seat of Roosevelt coun-
ty, but now a true ghost city,
claims to have the most law abid-
ing residents of any town in the
state. The former county Jail, an
expensive concrete structure, has
been in disuse so long that F. A.
Weinrich, a Fort Union farmer
and one of the five citizens of the
town, recently asked permission
from the board of county commits
sioners to use the prison to store
away grains of seed wheat instead
of the usual prisoners. The re-
quest was granted.

CLENDIVE GOLF
TOURNEY GOOD
TIME-BURGESS, RATHERT
PLAY WELL

Fred Rathert took a party OF
golfers, made up of ]. R. Burgess
0. G. Heinze, L. NJ Clayton and
r. J. White to Glendive Saturday
evening to participate in the East.
ern Montana-Western North Dako-
/ ia tournament that is staged each
year by the Glendive club. The
weather proved fine and the tourna-
ment was the best ever held in this
end of the state. Nearly every
club within wide radius around
Glendive was represented includ-
ing Williston, Dickinson, Sidney,
Baker, Wibaux, Beach, Miles City,
Terry, Richey and New England.
Seventy-four visiting golfers be-
sides those from the Glendive club
took part in the tournament. The
plan of the play is described below
in the clipping from the Dawson
County Review. Burgess was the
only Pointer who landed among the
lowest 16 scores that qualified for
the championship flight. His score
was sc, which was very good. He
was unlucky enough to draw Lou
Kostelechy, Dickinson star player,
for the first round in the champion
ship play and met defeat two up
one to play.
Rathert was not so fortunate in
the classification play, making his
poorest scores in these rounds.
Besides the 16 in the championship
play there were eight flights of s
players each. Fred was placed in
the 5th flight and won first prize.
His first game, played with a man
from Dickinson Sunday afternoon,
found them tied at the end of 19
holes. 1t was late and dark and
they agreed to toss a coin and Fred
won. The next day he had to play
two more, one with postmaster
from Baker and the other with
Sidney player. He defeated both
of them.
Clayton played one very good
round but did not win prize. The
Wolf Point delegation are unani-
nous in declaring that they had
a fine time and that the tourna
ment was a big success. They
said the players from visiting towns
they met were exceptionally con-
genial men. The party arrived
home late Monday night being OBJ
Iiged to come by way of the Snow
len bridge.
The Dawson County Review /
of last week says:
At least rs golfers are expected
here to play in the big Eastern
Montana and Western North Da-
zota golf meet to be held on the
ocal course Sept. and 5. All
have been made by

DELEGATES TOLD

w. L. Young and A. w. Huxsol
visited Helena and attended the
state fair this week, having been
appointed on the Lindbergh recep-
tion committee by Governor Erick-
son. They enjoyed the occasion
thoroughly and say Americas hero
of the air came fully up to the ex-
pectations of all who saw him.
While at the capital the Wolf Point
men came in contact with several
officials who are interested in the
progress of the Wolf Point-Mis-
souri, river bridge project. The
members of the highway commits
sion were not in the city, but
Chief Engineer Holmes stated
that it was his belief that the COM
mission, together with the other
officials, would visit Wolf Point
to view the bridge site on either
Sept. IS or 90 On Sept. 19 the
commission expects to attend the
annual meeting of the Roosevelt
Highway association at Chinook
and it is probable that they will
find it convenient to come on to
Wolf Point the following day. Mr.
Holmes said that the need of
bridge at this point was recognized
as so urgent as to be not only of
state but of national importance.
Governor Erickson, in greeting
the men from Wolf Point, brought
up the subject and inquired as to
the progress of the enterprise, and
expressed his great interest and
his hopes for it's success.
Leavitt Will Aid
VIM. Powers, secretary of state,
expressed his pleasure at the ex-
cellent prospects for a safe cross
pie of this part of the state. Mr..
Powers has been active in his sup
port of the enterprise. Congress
man Leavitt, who also has played
very important part in the pre-
liminary bridge program by getting
a bill passed by Congress author
izing the construction of the bridge,
and in placing the matter in
favorable light before the head of
the federal bureau of roads, also
was seen by Mr.. Young, and he
expressed his continued interest
and willingness to give service.
Senator B. X. Wheeler also is very
friendly to the project.
Several, or possibly all, of these
officials are expected to be in Wolf
Point at the time the commission
comes here. G. H. Purcell, engine
er in charge of the northwest
states for the federal bureau, also
may be induced to come. Ralph
Budd, President of the Great North
ern railway, has expressed his de-
sire to be here if he can so arrange. |
He and other Great Northern of |
ficials will be notified of the date |
