AS POLICE PROTECTION

The Mayor and Council have ar
ranged for better police protec-
tion for the city through an all
night street lighting service with
some extra lights. A night police

Der, or as soon as suitable man
can be found The fall season, in
busy year especially, brings ex-
ira hazards to business places and
to all property that can be reach
ed by thieves and burglars.
A new contract has been agreed
upon with the Montana-Dakota
Power Co., by which better rate
is secured for street lighting. The
residence district lighting equip
ment has been taken over by the
Power company, who, next year
intend to rebuild it together with
their own lines in cooperation
with the Mountain States Tele-
phone company. One set of poles
ten feet higher than those in use
at present, will be used when the
new work is put in, il is said.

SCOTT LEAVITT
VISITS FRIENDS
PASSES THROUGH WEDNES-
DAY TO JOIN OFFICIALS
FROM CAPITAL

Congressman Scott Leavitt
spent several hours in Wolf Point
Wednesday and was greeted by
many of his friends. Mr.. Leavitt
was en- route to Snowden to join
an official party that is inspecting
the irrigation projects of the
West Mr. Leavitt will accompany
them through Montana.
Included in the party are Roy
O. West recently appointed secre-
tary of the interior; Congressman
L. c. Champion of Michigan. chair
man of a subcommittee on appro-
priations; DR.. Elwood Mead, di-
rector of reclamation and L. c.
Kruetzer, irrigation economist.
Says Hoover Will Win
At the conclusion of his visit
here Mr. Leavitt was driven to
the east end of the county by w
h. Young. During an interview
the Congressman said that Mon
tana's standing with the rest of
he country has taken a wonderful
rise and is now looked upon with
envy by those living in less favor
ed states. He takes an optimistic
view of the campaign, both ma
-ional and state, and says the sue
cess of the republican ticket is
certain. The al Smith boom has
cached its crest, and Herbert
4oover's popularity is still stead
ly growing, he believes.
Congressman Leavitt has been
valuable friend to the Wolf
Point bridge and took occasion to
those who have been
'ehind the bridge campaign. He
aid it was truly remarkable how
peedily the proposition went
through considering all the obsta-
les that had to be overcome.
imilar enterprises frequently
leet years of delay, he said.

A. w. Burgess To
Open Taxi Business

Another business was launched
in Wolf Point this week when A.
w. Burgess started taxi line.
He has one car in operation now
and expects to add another little
later in the fall. Mr. Burgess
says that he will take a person
anywhere in the city for a quar-
ter.
During the fall and winter
months especially people are often
going to find it much more con-
venient to call the taxi than to
get out their own cars. Women
who are down town shopping and
perhaps may have number of
parcels to carry will find the
Black and White taxi line of real
service.

RESOLUTION

1 n. B. Stoney, president of the
Circle Chamber of Commerce and
leading merchant of the town
visited Wolf Point Wednesday for
the special purpose of setting his
town and its people right with
Wolf Point on the matter of the
Wolf Point bridge While nothing
had been heard about it here, it
was reported at Circle that re-

a result the resolution published
below was passed on August "a.
President Stoney brought copies
of the resolution and presented
one to Secretary Gordon of the To-

He says the citizens of Circle are
enthusiastic over the prospect of
a permanent connecting link be-
tween the two counties and rea-
lize that the bridge will be a valu-
able factor in the development
and their prosperous county. The
resolution follows:
Circle, August "a, 1928
There having been recently cir
a report to the effect that
Circle opposes the building of the
bridge across the Mis-
souri, river at the location chosen
near Wolf Point, and whereas
his report is utterly false and |
without foundation
THEREFORE,, the Circle Cham
)er of Commerce wishes to deny
his stand attributed to it. AS is
hown by the following resolution
passed at a special meeting held
m August 18th, 1927, the Circle
Chamber of Commerce favors the
of this bridge, as propos
