Calf. Nonresident
Drivers Law Changed

Chas. Gordon, secretary of the
Commercial club, has received no
LITIGATION from the Montana Auto
mobile association that the Cali
fornia drivers license law, which
any Montanan motoring to that

modified so that non-residents
who have complied with the laws
of their resident states regarding

Nonresident operators, how

SOCIAL EVENTS
HoNoRs MRS. MITCHELL

On Sunday, Mothers Day, a
company of friends, children,
grandchildren and g~reatgrand-
children to the number of fifty
gathered at the home of Mrs.
lsobel Mitchell, a few miles east
OF Wolf Point, gathered her up,
placed her in a car and proceed
ed to the woods nearby where a
picnic dinner was spread. The din
ner consisted of everything
from soup to strawberry short
cake, angel food and coffee cake.
After dinner a short service was
held during which Supt. Eggers
spoke to the assembled guests,
eulogizing the guest of honor and
pointing out the Importance of
sowing as we contemplate future
reaping of rewards. Rev. Arthur
offered prayer and the service
was closed by the singing of
America in the Indian language,
led by Mrs. Arthur.
Mrs. Mitchell is eighty-seyen
years of age and. has spent the
greater part of her life here, hav-
ing seen the organization of the
reservation. She is remarkably
well preserved, both mentally
and physically, and has an inter-
esting store of knowledge of re-
servation history.
Four generations of the honored
guest attended the gathering. Hell
daughters and a son who were
present were: Mrs. David Laroque,
Mrs. James Pedigo, Mrs. William
Knorr, Mrs. Phillip Courchene
and Martin Mitchell. Dan Nit
chell of Poplar, Oldest son, was
unable to attend.
A large collection of gifts, prac-
tical and loving, gave proof of
the place this mother holds in the
hearts of her children. A happy
reunion, a joyful remembrance, a
splendid observance of Mothers
Day. May there be many more
such events is the wish of all who
we're present.-Contributed.

placed in the paper. In fact there
is more of a demand for sale ads
than bills.
II the farmer paid no heed to
the advertisement of others in
newspapers, he would not attach
so much importance to this
means of appraising the public
of coming events, and would not
spend money for space in which
to make his own announcements.
This is a straight tip to the mer-
chant who wishes to enlarge his
business lines.

A recent familiar visitor from
the Hamblin vicinity was J. w.
(Jack) Bishop. Jack was taking.
a few days rest and admitted he
was not feeling so good. due to an
attack of flu brought on by get
ting o%verheated while breaking a
colt. He is "a years old Jack,
not the colt that was broken) but
says if he gets through this spell,
and is careful for the next Is
years or So, he hopes to grow up
yet as it has been proven many
times that the first hundred are
the toughest to get by.

ADS ARE

Newspaper advertising is recog-
nized by the farmers as one of
the most effective means of reach
ing the people. The Herald has
quite a number of advertising
patrons among the stock raisers
and farmers of the county. A
few years ago farmers making
public sales depended almost en-
tirely on the poster to do their
advertising. Now very few leave
orders for sale bills without an ac-
companying order to have the ad

DOUGLAS GIVES
THEM HIS VIEW
ON BOULDER DAM.

In the recent hearings by the con-
tion and reclamation which had charge
of the inquiry into the feasibility of
the proposed Boulder canyon dam as
provided for by the Swing Johnson
bill, L. w. Douglas, Arizona's congress-
man, made statement before the
committee that suggested some new
lines of thought on the subject. Con-
gresham Douglas went into detail IN
considering the matter and outlined TO
the committee some of the things that
he regards as weak spots in the pro-
posed legislation. Among some of the
high spots in his argument, the fol-
lowing are quoted:
Even if the bill were amended to
provide that there must be firm con-
tracts and firm contracts only in hand
before construction work is COM
menced, it would be we'll to speculate
on the subject of the nature of these
contracts The secretary of the inte-
rior must make one of two kinds OF
contracts:
"First, contract for the sale OF
electrical energy at a fixed price per
XVIII. Such a price must be predi-
Gated upon the minimum estimated
cost of project admitted to be by its
conceptors the largest, most magnifi-
cent and most costly ever undertaken
in the history of the world on q
stream whose floods are as torrential
and as destructive, in a confined mar
row gorge as is the gorge Of Black
canyon, as any in the world. In other
words, a contract of such form must
be predicated upon mere estimate
and that the minimum one made by
reputable engineers. Should this mini
mum estimate be low as compared
with the actual cost of the project
then any contract for the sale OF
energy which is predicated upon such
an estimate will by compulsion be in
! sufficient to reimburse the federal
government for it's expenditures, In

may offset the cityward trend enough
to keep the general progress toward
the west.
The movement westward reached its
height in 1860, when The center of
population jumped 80 miles in de-
cade, from West Virginia into Ohio.
The movement northward was most
pronounced in the decade following,
when the point swung Is miles to the
north The progress between 1910 and
1920 was northwest for 9.8 miles, while
the decade preceding 1910 brought a
movement 80 miles northwestward.
Experts in the census bureau point
out that an increase in population in
the south and west will affect move
ment of the population center more
than a larger increase in the cities OF
the middle-west. because of the near
ness of the latter to the present
center
W. M. Steuart, director of the CEN
SuS, forecasts population of about
124, 100000 for the United States in
1880. The figure in 1920 was 1O5,-
71O,62O.
Labor saving machines developed by
its own men will speed up the work
of the census bureau in the 1880
count, and more enumerators and tab
ulatorS will be employed than before.
1t is estimated that 100000 enumer-
ators will be required to handle the
count in the 400 census districts
$4,000 more than the number en-
ployed in 1920-and that more than
5000 persons will be needed to tabu-
late returns at Washington.
The bureau plans to collect in 1880
figures on distribution, including re-
tail and wholesale sales of all goods
at market points, to supply informa-
ton on marketing and selling. AS IN
former years the census will embrace
figures on population, agriculture and
manufacturing.
