BRIDGE SURVEY

SOUNDiNGS SHOW SOLID
FOUNDATION FOR ALL
PIERS AND PiLING

The tests made at the site of
the Wolf Point bridge across the
Missouri, at the point known as
the Macon ferry, have been COM
pleted and are understood to be
entirely satisfactory to the en-
gineers. Sandstone or shale was
struck at all places where piers or
piling are contemplated. The
depth at which foundation mater
ial was found was slightly deeper
than expected, from so to 81 feet
below the level of the ice, the dip
being to the north Engineer Bal
ley who was in charge of the
bridge survey has returned to
Helena.
Engineer Hart is making the
survey for the federal highway
that will connect the bridge with
the Roosevelt highway on the
north and the Vida road on the
south. The north connection will
be at the grade crossing a mile
and a half east. The total dis
tance to the bridge, counting from
the Sherman hotel will approxi-
mate five and half miles.

$4,000 VISIT

TOURIST CROP CERTAIN AND
GROWS BIGGER AS HIGH
WAYS ARE IMPROVED

Visitors to Montana by rail and
auto, numbering about $4,000 in
1927 spent within the state ap-
proximately $12,000,000, and placed
the industry of caring for tourists
in fifth place among Treasure
State industries, says the state
publicity office. The tourist in
dustry now means more in finan-
cial returns to the state than pc
troleum or coal mining and will
next year probably outrank in inn
portance the lumber industry, with
its eight and one-half million dol
lar payroll and it's $500 wage
earners.
Moreover the tourist industry is
more widely distributed than any
state industry; every county shar-
ing the returns, Missoula county
leading estimated expenditures of
$685. 900 Park county, largely due
to heavy rail and auto traffic to
Yellowstone park, rates second
with expenditures estimated at
S693, 900; Yellowstone, third S5S4,
900; Cascade, fourth, with S575-
900 and Silver Bow, fifth with
$4,000.
When compared with estimated

FEDERAL COURT
SAVES WITNESS
CONTEMPT THREATENS IN OIL
SCANDAL PROBE BY SEN.
WALSH AND COM.

WASHINGTON, Feb. f. The
judicial arm of the government
reached into the senate Saturday
to remove Robert w. Stewart,
outstanding Teapot dome witness,
from immediate jeopardy for con-
tempt.
Estopped by the District of
Columbia supreme court from inn
posing instant sentence on the
wealthy Chicago oil operator, the
senate turned at once to that
court, asking that Stewart be i'm
prisoned by judicial process for
his refusal to answer questions as
to the disposition of Continental
Trading company Liberty bonds.
Under the writ issued by JUS
tice Bailey, the chairman of the
board of the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana was taken from
the custody of the assistant SER
geant-at-arms of the senate and
released under $1,000 bond for ap-
pearance in court next Tuesday
The writ was obtained Is min
utes before the senate convened
with galleries and floors jammed
and with all arrangements made
for receiving and sentencing Stew
art if he denied to the senate it
self the information he had twice
declined to furnish its oil commit
tee.
In the meantime that committee
had uncovered the trial of an ad
ditional SS00,OOO in Continental
Liberty bonds, tracing them from
James E. O'Neil, missing witness
in the Fall-Sinclair conspiracy
trial, to the treasury of the Prair
lie Pipe Line company of which he
was the head.
After the Continental company's
activities had been brought to
light in the trial of the Teapot
dome civil suit at Cheyenne in
1925. O'Neill made hasty trip
from Paris to Montreal to make
restitution of these bonds to the
Prairie Oil and Gas company,
which in turn paid them over in
an ordinary business transaction.

BACK FROM ILLINOIS,
MONTANA SOFT SNAP

Albert Berner, McCone county
farmer is home from an extended
visit with friends and relatives in
central Illinois. Mrs. Berner and
the children stopped at Kensal, N.
d., to visit her pepole. Mr. Ber
ner called at The Herald office to
tell the editor that he comes home
better satisfied than ever with
Montana For better, more pro
fitable crops, better farming con
ditions, greater opportunities to
make a living and get ahead, Mon
tana farmers have it all over those
of the part of Illinois | visited, ("
said Mr.. Berner "By comparison,
we have a soft snap in Montana
He cited the case of one young
farmer trying to make his pay
ments on a piece of land he
bought out of a crop yielding 6
bushels of wheat and % bushels
of corn, per acre. Tough financial
conditions date from the deflation
following the war time initiation.
The corn borer is another serious
drawback and no effective method
of control has been found. Mr..
Berner says he talked to some of
the Illinois farmers about coming
out to the Treasure State but
most of them said they guessed
they better stay where they were.
They seem to view their plight
like the Irishman riding a bronc
that began to buck A nearby
friend yelled to Pat to "get off"
Get off, me eye" shouted Pat,
"how can I get off when I can
hardly stay on"

Poplar Rooters Come
In Force For Games

One of the biggest crowds of
fans that ever followed it's athletes
to Wolf Point came from Poplar
Tuesday night to see the double
header basket battles. The tough
luck of double defeat did not
stop them from Loyalty roofing to
the bitter end. If the speedy
Wolves should win at the west
end district elimination tourney
the Poplarites will have another
chance to see their boys in action
against their old rivals at the fin
ais in the fine big Poplar gym
And it will be up to the Pointers
to be there in force.

MEISTER'S HOUSE GOES
THROUGH THE RIVER ice

Bob Meister, Southside farmer,
bought one of the Great Northern
cottages that were sold last fall
and last week, with the help of
some of his neighbors, put some
large and cottonwood skids under
it and started it south by horse
power When almost across the
river the skids went through the
new ice that formed after the par
tial breakup in January. 1t was
rather a case of the ice being
borne down than broken The
water was shallow, as the house
had been gotten to the edge of
the big sand bar at the ferry
crossing, and the front end of the
skids were over the edge of the
bar. The rear end was consider
ably lower than the front.
Darkness came and the job had
to be postponed until next day
1t was not safe to leave the house
in it's position longer than could
be helped Sunday tractor and
12 horses were hitched on and
after some delay and few break
ages the building was snaked off
the river to the turn of the road.
1t was a real job. Lots of ice had
to be broken and moved out of
the way with a fresno. But the
Meisters will have nice residence
when it is put in shape.

Forsness Regains Title
To Confiscated Ford

A federal revenue officer was
here from Malta this week to dis
pose of the Gil Forsness car which
was confiscated several months
ago because the owner was using
it in violation of the prohibition
laws.
The public sale attracted three
bidders, one of them was Forsness
and he proved to be the success

vintage of '23, was knocked down
to the former owner for SAL. The

wheat on ocean passage decreased, and
