COUNTY DEVELOPING A
HIGH PRODUCTION

Across the Missouri just south
of the west half of Roosevelt
county is McCone county, created
about the same time as Roosevelt.
1t was never Indian reservation
and parts of it we're homesteaded
before the reservation north of the
river was opened to settlement.
The country varies from gently
rolling a few miles back to billy
near the river. A large per cent
is not only tillable but has soil
that is rich and productive.
Town Of Vida
A majority of the population is
a large part of which is tributary
to Wolf Point, its outlet for grain
and other products. The richest
and best developed section the
county has the inland town of
Vida for it's community center.
This is one of the most enterpris-
ing and best advertised small
towns in the whole Northwest. 1t
has a strong, reliable bank, the
Vida State, a large modernly
equipped community hall, an or
chestra, a ball team, a licensed
broadcasting station that sends
out daily radio programs in CO.
operation with the Wolf Point re-
mote control studio. 1t has a
good school building and high
class schools, several general
stores, and shops, a picture show
house, auto and oil service sta
lions.
Bridge Will Aid
Until this year there was no
railroad in this county. The Nor
thern Pacific has now completed
a branch to Circle the county seat
in the southeastern part. The de-
velopment of northern McCone
will be greatly speeded up by the
over the Missouri, men
Toned elsewhere. With a free traf
tic bridge to give direct connec-
ion with transportation many
.lomeseeking farmers will look
favor on the cheap produc-
i've land to be had on the South
'ide." 1t is a region of real op-
)ortunities for diversified farm
ng. Northern McCone has pro-
luced as much as ga of a million
bushels of wheat. Further infor- !

WOLF Pr. TRADE,
MARKET CENTER
MIDDLE OF AREA PRODUCING
MILLION AND QUARTER
Blu. WHEAT IN '27

Wolf Point is merely one of the
prosperous growing towns of
Roosevelt county and northeast
ern Montana and there is no de-
sire to unduly boast. Neverthe-
less it is our town and a little city
of which its citizens are proud.
The town is fortunate in having a
number of the special advantages
which destine it to be the leading
town of this part of the state.
1t has a strategic location on
the north side of the Missouri
river on the trans-continental line
of the Great Northern railway and
on the Roosevelt highway. 1t was
an unusually large and productive
territory surrounding it, whose
people make Wolf Point their trade
and marketing center. This ter
ritory for eight consecutive years,
including the present season, has
produced from fair to bumper
crops of wheat and other grains,
besides large numbers of cattle,
horses and some sheep and hogs.
In proof of the productiveness of
the farming country around Wolf
Point, the records Of the Wolf
Point station of the Great North
ern as to outgoing freight are
quoted:
Million and a Quarter
Up to July /, 1928 the Great
Northern had shipped from this
station 1,231,736 bushels of wheat,
all of which was raised in the sea-
son of 1927. This is not a guess
or an estimate, but the actual bust
ness record of the railroad, and it
does not represent the total of the
1927 wheat crop raised in the
area tributary to this town. Each
of the six elevators has a<consid-
cradle quantity of wheat stored,
and an unknown quantity is still
in the bins of the farmers. And
Of course many thousands of bush
els were used to seed the 1928
crop. Altogether the 1927 crop
could not have been much short
If a million and a half bushels.
Nearly all of this graded No. 1,
md much of it brought a premium
IN account of the protein content.
In fairness it must be admitted
hat the 1927 crop was extra good
n that it was unusually uniform
n yield, and averaged 20 bushels
II more per acre.
Live Stock Shipments
In addition to grain shipments,
70 cars of cattle, horses and
heep were shipped from here.
Wolf Point is one among five of
he largest primary wheat ship
ing points in the northwest,
yhich one will earn the honor of
eing first is not yet determined,
ut Wolf Points chances look
cry good.
c. P. Swedberg, agent of the
reat Northern, says that his sta
on is n among the ten or
velve on the Great Northern in
which show the largest
,tal of freight shipments. This
the reason that it is one of the
ties on the Great Northern :
hich enjoys the benefit of spe-
al local distribution rates on
)mmodities shipped in here in =
lrload lots. This fact has given -
arked impetus to the jobbing
I~siness.

Progress in Agriculture

Progress in the future can be
measured by progress in the past.
Apply this axiom to Minnesota
agriculture and the problem of the
future is at least partially an
swered. In the galaxy of states,
Minnesota, comparatively, is
scarcely out of her childhood. Con-
sidering that in 1849, only 70
years ago, Minnesota was first or
ganized as a territory and nine
years later, in 1853, she was ad-
mittei as a state, her progress as
commonwealth is all the more
astounding.
Taking the history of agricul-
ture alone, we find that in 1849,
there were virtually no farms.
There were a few garden plots,
and one or two small tracts under
cultivation such as the one at Fort
Smelling, but there was none as
yet who had come to Minnesota to
make a business of farming. At
that time, Minnesota was primar-
lily fur trading state and all till
ing of the soil was supplementary.

TO VOTE A DUTY

There has become noticeable an alarming tend
ency towards apathy in public affairs especially the
selection of public officials. The percentage of
eligible voters voting has shown an almost steady
decline for the last two or three decades.
Statistics show that in 1896, 80 per cent of the
eligible voters in the United States went to the polls
and voted. In 1900 the percentage dropped off to
10; in 1908 it went down to sc per cent, and in
1920 the President was elected by majority of the
minority, since only 40 per cent exercised their
privilege of franchise. In 1924, after active
sect Out the Vote Campaign" this was raised to
where the majority voted.
The approaching elections not far off Again
it will be up to the people to decide upon the right
man to occupy the highest office of our country
This privilege should not be ignored or regarded
lightly. In fact it is not only privilege and a
right but it is duty Those who shirk this duty

the country soldier who goes to sleep at his post
in the time of war often loses his own life well
as endangers the lives of his comrades. Likewise,
citizen who negects the duties and responsibilities
of citizenship, who goes to sleep at the post, or
negects his obligations to the govern
ment, not only suffers by foregoing his own rights
but is in a manner, detrment to that govern
ment.

also prepare himself to vote ently-North-

Immediately after 1849, the.
great influx Of agricultural popu-
lation began. They came from
New England, from mountainous
Vermont and rugged Maine. From
the level stretches of Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois. Many more came
from the Scandinavian peninsula,
Central Europe and the British
Isles. Up the river they came by
steamboat and overland by OK
team, carrying their families and
simple agricultural implements
with them. From the head of nav
igation they spread fan-wise over
the state, taking claims or buying
low-priced land on Minnesota's
virginia. prairies, until by 1870,
twenty-one years later, we find
46,500 farms under cultivation.
Minnesota as an agricultural
state is still continuing its healthy
development. Today we have four
times as many farms under culti-
walton as in 1870, with the num-
Der totaling more than $4,000
On these farms there are 10000
900 acres suitable for agricultural
purposes, and in 1927 this land
produced land crops valued at
$325, 900, 900. Since 1920, Mime
sofa has come from 18th place
among all states for valuation Of
these land crops to eighth place.
In large measure, Minnesota's
high place among agricultural
states is due to the production of
butterfat and poultry products,
which amounted to $4,000, 900
and $75,000,00 respectivelA last
year. Adding to this the value of
livestock and other products we
find that Minnesota's annual agri-
cultural production reaches more
than a half billion dollars.
With all this great agricultural
progress in the state since it's in
fancy, there is still plenty of room
to go further. Greater yields per
acre, greater production of butter
fat per cow, more eggs per hen,
and more pork for each bushel of
corn, will make it possible for
Minnesota to assume the deficiency
of production of other sections of
the United States where the
march of industry is gradually alb
sorbing the tillable land, and to do
more than its share in feeding the
steadily increasing population.

An unusual accident occurred
Friday afternoon on the Osakis
road near the Chas. Larson home
five miles west of this village. Mr..

three children and a maid were
driving to their home in Duluth.
They had been to Ortonville to
visit Mrs. Henderson's people. The
car was speeding along at about
thirty miles per hour when Mrs.
Henderson suddenly jumped out
of the car. She is said to have
been a highly emotional woman
subject to temporary alterations
and it is believed that while labor
ing under some emotion she under

car.
Mr.. Henderson stopped the car
as soon as he could but it travelled
about rs feet before coming to a
stop. He hurried to where his
wife lay beside the road and found
her unconscious with blood stream

up and carried her to the Larson

Former St. Paul Mayor is
Making Vigorous Campaign
Arthur Nelson Very Kindly Re-
ceived in Southern Minnesota
Friends Encouraged

st. Paul, June 5.-After getting
away to a neck-and-neck start, the
field is widening out in the race for
the u. S. Senate with Arthur E
Nelson making a fine showing, ac-
cording to the opinion of exper-
fenced political observers in every
congressional district of Minneso-
ia.
The youth, aggressiveness, ap-
pearance and oratorical ability of
Nelson seem to be the things that
today give him an endge over his
older and slower-going opponents.
Nelson has recently completed
a whirlwind campaign of southern
Minnesota where he set some rec
ords for travelling that perhaps
will not be equalled for some
years. Despite the reported apathy
in the race for the Republican
nomination, he has been attracting
big and enthusiastic crowds.
He has a well knit organization
in every county of the state, the
backbone of which are the service
men who are anxious to see one of
their own representing Minnesota
in the Senate. With the great
number of measures directly af-
fecting service men that will
come before congress in. the next
few years, the boys who served
their country seem anxious to
have Nelson represent them.
They feel that Nelson is the only
one of the three candidates who
thoroughly understands their needs
and aims. -
Nelson's strength is pyramiding
daily" said Attorney Frank
Daugerty of Fairmont. "He has
