orderly conduct as result of an en-
counter with police, brought on by the

|S1S,7O0,ODD FUND
| FOR i. S. BUILDINGS
Sum for Federal Construc-
tion Represents an AccruaI
of So, 100000.

With four building projects actually
under construction. and with plans
under way for several more, the Gov
ernments great housing program is
operating with roughly an $18,700,000
expenditure limit here this fiscal year.
it was learned today at the Treasury.
This large sum includes the author
lied S10,000,00 year which Congress
provided by law February this year,
plus the accural, which is the amount
authorized but not expended during the
last fiscal year ending June 80. 1928.
During 1928, according to figures just
made available, the Treasury spent on
building construction for the Federal
Governments program in the District
of Columbia only 81 1,295, ,320.31, thus
leaving more than eight million dollars
accrual to carry over. under the law,
into this fiscal year. Not all of this
1900, 900 however, has been appropri-
ated.
Large payments must be made this
year because of the construction of the
Department of Commerce, the Internal
Revenue, the Agriculture and the Gov
eminent Printing Office projects. 1t is
estimated that even with these four big
projects to draw huge sums from the
Treasury there probably will be an ac-
crual to run over into the next fiscal
year, in the form of authorized total
expenditures. With the public building
program advancing rapidly, however,
and new buildings projected for the
future, it is expected that additional ap-
preparations of a routine nature will be
asked under the authorizations for the
buildings already named by Congress.
The expenditure limit allowing some
leeway therefor, and the actual ap-
preparations coming along as they are
needed for the progress of the program,
will allow the Treasury to make steady
advance in the program of construction
here

DRILLING AT POPLAR
OIL WELL is DELAYED

Culbertson.-The drlilers of the
Poplar oil well have experienced con-
siderable difficulty in sinking the
casing at the 3,0S1 foot level, owing
to the hardness of the shale or rock
IN which they are drilling.
About a month ago it was reported
that artesian water saturated with gas
and a slight showing of oil had been
encountered. Drilling was suspended
ed pending investigation. IL was de-
cided, however, to sink the hole TO a
lower level in order to make a thoro
test of the structure. The caving of
the structure a short distance above
the bottom of the hole made the task
cutie difficult.
About a week ago they succeeded
IN lowering the casing to the bottom
of the hole and resumed drilling with
a diamond bit. After drilling about
two feet in the hard rock they had
the misfortune to break the bit which
has occasioned another delay. The
drillers report that some water and
considerable gas was encountered at
the 3,0S3 foot level which leads them
TO believe that a considerable volume
OF gas or possible oil may be found
below the hard rock in which they are
now drilling.

WOLF POINT TO HAVE
MODERN TOURIST PARK

Wolf Point, May 1.-THE CONNER
cial club of Wolf Point has closed two
business deals that will result in civ
ing this city one of the best equipped
tourist orks in this part of the coun-
try. A plot of ground of ample size
near the center of town has been pur-
chased by the club and leased to Geo.
Littlefleld who will conduct the park
on modern plans and charge moderate
fees for such service as is REQUIRED.
Ihere Will be space for those who nre-
fer to camp outdoors.
Mr.. Littlefield will build a complete-
" equipped kitchen and as MANY cab
ms as the trade demands, probably
eight to start with. The Smallest of
the cabins will be 12x14 feet. some
Will be larger. All will be finished en-
as to be comfortable summer or winter
win running water, lights and stoves
ana a bed. There is now on the plot
a small residence that will serve as a
general office for the manager and
tourists. "''O
There is also a band stand where
evening concerts are sometimes given
by the school band. The club will
bear the expense of sewer and water
connections in the public kitchen. The
completed park contemplates a com
6lned investment by the club and Mr.
Littlefield Of between seven and eight
thousand dollars. -
In the summer of 1927 Mr.. Little.
Held made a western motor trim Of
more than 1000 miles for the speeial
purpose of collecting ideas and data
concerning modern pay parks. He
formerly operated ferries on the Mis-.

Of the immortal golden apples by the
frost giants from Idum the guardian
of the apples.
Part III Miolnir the magic hammer
belonging to Thor, the thunder god,

placed in his hand as a wedding gift.
The hammer is given to him and he
at once goes into a rage and Stays all

pamphlets were distributed free to
high school students in a single year.
Nothing and no one is neglected.
Teachers in the schools are sweeten-
ed. The writing of text books on
economics favorable to the utilities
is procured and their next publication
under supposedly neutral auspices is
arranged. Passages in existing text
books unfavorable to the public util-
ity point of view are eliminated
through pressure brought to bear on
authors or publishers. The adoption
or rejection of text books is secured
through school superintendent or
other authorities, as the interests Of
the utilities may dictate.
The censorship of school books
goes so far that complete censuses of
school texts have been carried out in
several states, for the express purpose
of making them tell a story that the
utilities would like to have told.
Having covered the common and
high schools the electric propaganda
/ goes further into the colleges and
universities. Professors receive Sc
cret subsidies to help them TO see
the electric problem in the electric
way. "Safe and sane" investigations
by safe and sane" economists are
literally financed. More than one
university has been paid tens OF
thousands of dollars year to the
same end of hiding the truth.
