P0PLAR'S FIVE
WINS AT MALTA
FIRST LOSS IN TWO SEASONS
TO A TEAM WITHIN DIST.
BY THE WOLVES

The following story of the Malta
sub-district elimination tourna-
ment, held last week, is by the
Great Falls Tribune's Malta cor
respondent. Significant of Wolf
Points strength is the fact they
get three players on the first and
one player on the second all-dis-
trict team, picked by the officials.
MALTA, Feb. 19-Poplar's bas-
ketball team Saturday night took
the championship of the subdis-
trict tournament for the north
eastern district from the fast
Wolf Point team, hitherto unbeat-
en- in the state, by score of II
to Is, winning the game in the last
half in which Wolf Point scored
only one free throw.
Lund, the Poplar center, second
ed by Tommy Smith, captain of
the team, took Poplar out of the
hole after the first half closed IA
to 8 in favor of Wolf Point.
Laroque, Wolf Point captain,
whose science and quickness had
hitherto withstood Poplar in two
other games this season, was un-
able to general his team into the
lead again.
Third place in the subdistrict
went to Malta who took her sec
ond game of the tournament from
Dodson, scoring 36 to %. Dodson
at times gaining the lead Siers
led in Malta's scoring, making 13
points, Kood followed with II,
Proctor making 10. Misfeldt
played his usual lightning guard
game. Finneran of Dodson led
the scoring of the tournament,
having so points to his credit, an
average of IS to the four games.
Lund of Poplar followed with AZ
points, an average of IA game,
and Koon of Malta had Al.
The referees, Floyd w. Sailar
and E. Darock of Harlem, announ-
eed the following all-district |
-eams:
First team Lund of Poplar,
center; Finneran of Dodson and |
Herman of Wolf Point, forwards,
md Schneider and Laroque of |
Wolf Point guards.
Second team-Proctor of Malta,
center; Koon of Malta and Nit

CASE CONSUMES FOUR DAYS
JURY LENIENT-COUR
TO SENTENCE 28TH

District court which convened
on the 21st has been engaged with
the one only criminal case on the
calendar, the case of the State
versus McClammy and Keithley
on a charge of receiving stolen
property.
The jury returned a verdict late
this evening finding the defend
ants guilty as charged. The jury
set the punishment of McClammy
at 80 days in the county Jail. The
punishment of Keithley was left
to the court. Judge Paul has set
the 2Sth as the time for imposing
sentences. The law allows a wide
leeway in sentences for this
crime and 80 days in Jail as the
Hard Fought
County Attorney Marion and
his deputy, A. M. Foor, conducted
the case ably and are being con-
graduated ON securing conviction.
1t is said to be the first conviction
ever secured in this county for
this offense. F. M. Catlin was
counsel for the defense and made
a hard fight.
One or the states important
10
who is serving a term at Deer
Lodge for stealing the critter that
the defendants in the case just
tried were convicted of purchas-
ing from Burshia Burshia was
brought from the state prison to
testify McClammy and Keithley
were formerly engaged in the
butcher business at Poplar.

'SOUTHSIDE FARMERS
AND TOWN MEN MEET

At the request of a group of
farmers residing across the river
and southwest of Wolf Point a
public meeting was held at the
Sherman hotel Wednesday after
noon. About forty were present,
nearly equally divided between
country folks and town folks.
w. L. Young, president of the
Commercial club, presided. What
the farmers wanted was to know
just why it was necessary to To-
cate the Missouri river bridge at
the Macon crossing and what as
surance the farmers would have
of ferry service after the bridge
was built.
Young Reviews Project
William Pipal made the first
talk for the farmers and was ans
wered by w. L. Young in a COM
plete review of the campaign put
on by the Commercial club to win
the bridge. How many serious
obstacles had been overcome and
the project finally sold to the state
and federal highway only because
they saw the bridge as a great
need for this end of the state.
Also how, since funds for such
large undertakings are scarce, it
was folly to expect the engineers
sand commissioners to recommend
a site that required the expendi-
ture of several hundred thousand
dollars more than necessary and
then have the bridge in an unsafe
place. He said Wolf Point had
done everything in it's power to
have the upper site accepted, but
the local river situation was all
against it.
Several others spoke briefly,
among them, Stennes, Martin Nit
chell, Listug, Delbert Rhoads,
Bob Steffenson, Rev. Prall. A
Gerry and good roads leading from
the southwest country to the
bridge became the topics under
discussion. The farmers were /
promised the roads and assured /
that an adequate ferry would op-
crate if they would give it their I
patronage. The meeting undoubt-
edly brought about better under
standing all around.

SPEAKING, MALTA
HlNSDALE WINNER ANNUAL
EVENT, POPLAR SECOND,
WOLF POINT THIRD
(By Ray Boe)

There were five contestants en-
tered in the extemporaneous speak
ing contest, which is held annually
in connection with the basketball
tournament, one each from Malta,
the place of this years sub-district
tournament, Saco, Hinsdale, Wolf
Point and Poplar. The contestants
met at 1890, Saturday, to draw
places and topics for the contest
which was at 800 o'clock.
Saco drew first place on the pro-
gram and the topic, 'The Pan
American Congress. His speech
was concerned chiefly with what
President Coolidge had said and
done and was partly taken up with
a defense of the Presidents leav-
ing the U. S. while in office, stat
ing precedents to show that he was
justified in doing so.
Malta drew second place on the
program and the topic, Lind
bergh." Her speech was somewhat
disorganized. She told of the
honors heaped upon Lindbergh
and his attitude toward them.
Then tried to show that the great
est thing Lindbergh has done was
to show that America is still
sound in spite of the outcry
against American morals, espec-
tally the younger generation.
Hinsdale drew third place and
the topic "The Present Crime
Menace" He showed that the
present crime menace was only
socalled menace. Gave the causes
and remedies for crime and the
classified criminals and showed
how each should be treated. His
was by far the most forceful
speech on the program, but was
based almost entirely on sociology
and not on current events.
Wayde Littlefield spoke fourth
for Wolf Point and drew "Amer1-
can foreign Policy in Latin Ameri-
ca" as his subject. He stated
problems in the foreign policy OF
the U. S. in Latin America which
are unsolved today and showed
that it was left for the present
generation to make solution OF
them.
Poplar spoke last on the topic
Intervention of the U. S. in Mica
ragua." He gave well organic
ed and forceful speech showing
the causes of i'll feeling and why
it had become necessary for the
U. S. to intervene.
Hinsdale was given first place,
Poplar second and Wolf Point |
third. The speakers from Hins-
dale and Poplar will speak at
Poplar during the tournament for
the right to go to Butte to the |
state contest in March.

BROCKTON MAN
Will FARM BIG
!. A. STORM DISPOSES OF
STORE TO DEVOTE TIME
TO FARMING

Believing that Montana soil will
return a handsome profit if cor
rectly handled, L. A. Storm of
Brockton has disposed of his
mercantile interests and is now
devoting his entire time to the
management of his large farm
near this place. Mr. Storm has
been a student of power farming
methods and of producing on a
big scale and will use "big-farm"
practices in the production of
crops.
$50 Acres Corn
In addition to the two tractors
that have been in use for several
years, a Farmall tractor has been
added to assist in caring for the
cultivated crops. A four-row
corn planter and a four-row culti-
vator have recently been added to
the farm equipment as well as a
corn shredder and manure spread
er. Three hundred and fifty acres
of corn will be produced this year.
Wheat and Alfalfa
Grain crops grown by Mr..
Storm will include 1900 acres of
wheat and a liberal supply of
grains for feed. Forage needs are
being provided for by the seeding
of 200 acres of Missouri bottom
land with Grimm alfalfa. For a
year or two feed will be supplied
to the livestock by shredding
corn fodder
In the past, Mr. Storm has han
died his farm interests as a side
line to his general store and i'm I
plement business and has made a
success of both. BY deyoting his
entire time to farming, Mr.. Storm
plans to enlarge his operations
and to apply the same business
principles to the farm as he has
used in business.

FERGUSON NEAR
ARCTIC CIRCLE
WRITES HERALD FROM CAMP
DEEP IN THE FROZEN
FUR COUNTRY

The Herald was pleasantly sur
prised to receive a letter this
week from c. ]. (Chick) Fergu-
son who formerly resided here
and engaged in photography. The
letter was written in the trappers'
camp, established by himself and
companions, Edgar M. Hay and
Chris Trebesch, in the Northwest
Territory of Canada, some eleven
hundred miles north of Edmonton.
AS near as can be determined by
the map the camp must be only
about 200 miles south of the Arc
tic circle. Chicks letter which was
written last Christmas day, was
post marked at Ft. Providence on
January 2S, and received here on
February 21.
He does not say but leads one
to infer that he is well, because
he concludes his letter by saying:
'E. M. Hay and myself will start
on the long snow shoe trail to
Ft. Providence early tomorrow
morning, in order to send and re-
ceive the mid-winter mail" Ap-
parently it took from Dec. 26 to
January 27 or % to reach the
fort, a distance of perhaps 300 to
400 miles.
Beginning a Cycle
During conversation held while
he was here, Chick explained that
fur animals in the North come and
go in cycles of seven years. In
the letter he says 192O-27 formed
a cyvle, so 1928 begins another.
1t is what is known in the Far
North as a starvation year Rab-
bits and other small animals such
as the furbearers prey on, are so
scarce the foxes and wolves have
a tough time to find living, and
become scarce themselves. But
the trappers expected this condi
ton and say they will be ready
when the fur comes back. He
says: 81 expect to have a 200
mile trap line in operation"
Greets Friends
Our versatile friend, who can
swing a wicked glove in the roped
arena, take an artistic photo, set
a cunning trap or steer a canoe
the most vicious rapids,
says: 81 would enjoy being in
Wolf Point to wish all of my old
friends a Merry Christmas, but
Dame Fortune has decreed other
wise. So I win extend the sea-
sons greetings to all from the I
'rozen regions of the sub-arctic,
even though the holidays will be
ong past and forgotten when this
etter reaches the Point"

WOLF POINT AND BAINVILLE
TO PLAY FOR THIRD HON.
ORS AT POPLAR
BY Harry A. Inman

ny fldliJ ~ itHidH
Wolf Points hopes of a two
year-in-succession district cham
pionship team were blasted Friday
night in the tourney at Poplar
when the fast Plentywood quintet
emerged four-point winner in a
hard fought struggle.
The Poplar meet was four
team affair-the winners and los
,ers in the sub-district meets at
Malta and Plentywood playing for
the right to represent the district
at Butte. The games were played
in the spacious Indian School
gym-an ideal place with large,
high ceiling court and ample seat
facilities.
Poplar Wins
In the opening contest Poplar
had no trouble in eliminating
Bainville by a 81 to % score.
Connors drew first blood for Pop
lar with a field goal early in the
playing. Poplar ran up a comfort
able lead and at the end of the
first quarter led 10 to 3. The
second quarter saw Bainville
tighten up a bit but at no time did
their offense offer real menace
to Poplar's championship vision.
Poplar did not seem to bear down
at all times, using their heads and
saving themselves for the finals
Saturday night.
AS in the meet at Malta, Lund
was the ace of the Poplar team.
His long shots though spectacular,
can not be attributed entirely to
luck. T. Smith, Connors and
Lund make a three-man unit that
nothing but real basketball play
ing can stop. Evans was most
effective for Bainville
Wolf Point Stopped
The iinx that attached itself to
the Wolves shooting at Malta re-
newed its attack with vim and
vengeance. Time and again some
pretty passing would put the ball
--ssssiss::a1 Scoring --disadIieae, only to
roll around the basket and out
again. Throughout the four quar-
ters the Wolves shot from the
field As times as against Plenty
woods 49,
Mitchell opened the scoring with
a free throw on a personal by
Herman and the fight was on.
And a fight it was. Both teams
were playing Observation-Disclosures
it as it should be played-p playing
it every second of the time for
every point they could get. Few
were the free, unearned shots
made by either team.
c. ZiedIer Shines
Herman and Laroque divided
scoring honors for Wolf Point,
each garnering five two-pointers.
G. Ziedler was the outstanding man
for the winners, scoring sixteen
points of his teams total. 1t was
around this man and his brother
R. Ziedler that Plentywood has
built a real team. Considering his
strong opposition, G. Ziedler's work
was the shining feature of the
Friday nights playing.
The work Of the Wolves guards,
Schneider and Burnison was little
short of ideal Repeatedly by
their flashy work were the Wolves
kept within striking distance of
he Sheridan county boys. Es-
,eciaIly effective at time were
he long high passes of Schneider,
unique pass in the game as play
d today.
