CALL FOR BIDS, WOLF PIT. BRIDGE
CONTRACTS Will Be LET OCT. q

In another part of this issue of
The Herald will be found three
separate advertisements inserted
by the State Highway commission,
asking for bids on highway units,
one for a 1913 foot 4-span bridge
across the Missouri river at the
place known as the Macon cross
ing together with the necessary ap-
proaches; one for constructing
and surfacing about six miles of
highway connecting the bridge
with federal and county highways
on each side of the river and one
for piling bridge across little
Wolf Creek at a point on the pro-
posed highway connecting up the
bridge on the north side of the
river.
To Let Contract Oct. %
These advertisements say that
bids submitted will be opened at
Helena on Oct. 23rd, which i'm
plies that the contract will be let
at that time. This definite and
concrete assurance of the bridge
will be the best of news to the
people on both sides of the river.
December 1st 1929 is set as the
time for the completion of the
work, although it cannot be known
in advance whether this can be ac-
complished.

The hope of bridge across the
Missouri at or near Wolf Point
has been something to hope for

came a town of Importance. The
idea of an organized effort to Sc
cure such bridge took form less
than three years ago with w. L.
Young as it's author. Working
tirelessly with the cooperation of
the Commercial club of Wolf
Point, and the commercial bodies
and business men of surrounding
towns, Mr.. Young carried the cam
paign forward with remarkable

assistance from Thomas Horsford
and other officials and citizens of

Good Handwriting No
Longer Social Asset

The reason why good handwriting
has become a lost art" Is attributed
to the fact that letter written by
hand no longer receives immediate at
tentlOn In business, points out Hugh
Fullerton In an article In Liberty
Magazine.
"Typewrlting Is more easily and
rapidly read and carries the Idea more
clearly to the brain OF the reader"
explains the writer. "PsychOlOglcnlly,
proposition submitted In typewriter
form has the advantage because It
makes a good first impression. Watch
any good business man opening his
mail, The kilograms are always
placed on the top Of the morning mail
and are read first; the typewriter
letters come next and those In long
hand last
There was time" continues Ful-
lert0n, "when 1t was considered dis
courteous to write social letter on
the typewriter. Today certain classes
Of friendly correspondence may be
written by machine and even Invita-
tlOns to large gatherings may be print
ed or written on machines"
