Two or three of the most pop

brightly rendered songs of the

As the Lake season draws to

FIVE MILLIONS IN
NE. MONT. BANKS
PROSPERITY EXTENDS OVER
ENTIRE CORNER OF
THE STATE

Almost five and a third million
dollars are on deposit in the
banks of the three northeastern
Montana counties, Roosevelt, Sher-
idan and Daniels, according to fig
ures compiled from bank state
ments. Roosevelt leads with total
deposits of S2,753,O 20.77. Sheridan
has S1,432,9 92.61 and Daniels has
81, LAG, 094.69 on deposit, making a
total of S5~,332,10S.07 in the three
counties. Total resources of the
II banks represented amount to
Sc, OSS, 1892, while the total cap
italization amounts to S425,0 900.
Seven banks are operating in
Sheridan county and four in Dan
iels. However, the combined de-
posts of the six Roosevelt county
banks are greater than the de-
posits of all the banks in Sheri-
dan and Daniels counties.
Had a bank call been made a
month earlier, the figures would
undoubtedly have show up even
better.

mention affording a safe crossing

Wolf Point will benefit through
an extended trade territory and
through becoming a central point
at the intersection of east and
west and north and south high
ways which will be travelled by
increasing numbers of tourists
and commercial travellers. The
greater part of the credit for this
bridge is due to w. L. Young
county commissioner, and at pres
ent president of the commercial
club. He received valuable assis-
lance from Thos. Horsford and
other commissioners of McCone
county, and the citizens both
north and south from the Cana
dian line to the Northern Pacific
railroad.
Bids In September
1t is expected that bids on the
construction of the bridge will be
advertised for in September of
this year. The time required to
complete the job is estimated as
IS months. The cost will be
from $500, 900 to 100000.

MISSOURI BRIDGE
AT WOLF POINT
TWO YEARS WORK BY CLUB
YIELDS BIG RESULTS
BRIDGE CERTAIN

Through consistent and sustain
ed team work and cooperation ana
under the valuable leadership OF
w. l.. Young, the Wolf Point
Commercial club, after more than
two years of continuous effort,
achieved it's finest triumph in Sc
curing state and federal approval
for a free traffic bridge across the
Missouri river Just east OF the
city. The project has reached the
point where the plans and specl-
fications are almost complete. the
bridge engineers of the state high
wav commission and the federal
bureau of roads, have been work
ing continuously since early last
winter to work out the best type
of bridge and one that will come
within the estimated cost.
Ideal Crossing
At the Macon ferry crossing,
about four miles below Wolf Point
the engineers found what Iney
claim is the best bridge site
known anywhere along the upper
Missouri. According to the oldest
Indians and the Oldest white pi-
oneers, the Missouri at this point
has never INDUCED its habit OF
changing its course, but has sent
it's mighty current close along
the sandstone bluffs that form
the south bank. The channel is
unusually narrow at this point and
has flowed through the same chan
mel for 70 to 100 years.
