GOLFERS

If there has been any question
as to who are the confirmed, in
durable nut members of the Wolf
Point golf club there is question
no longer There are four of
them and they were caught on the
local fairways Christmas after
noon They are Bob White, who
failed to go south with the rest of
his flock, Frank Catlin, who was
recently married and should have
been home, John Cook, relative
of "Doc," who would not recognize
the North Pole if he drove into
it, and Charley Marshall, who

really pitied those poor golfers in
Calf. and Fla. who have the same
monotonous surroundings month
in and month out. Never bit of
snow to cool the reflecting rays
of the sun. No clean, soft slush
for tees instead of sand.

Snow three inches

sand green's were bare and some

added to the game by the lively
that you might find the

there and dig. Charley says if
he had laid down the rule at the

DEMONSTRATION
OF OIL LOCATOR
BAKER MAN PUTS "DOODLE
BUG" THROUGH PAGES
FOR OIL MEN

A demonstration was given
Thursday afternoon by G. J. Craw-
ford of Baker before a company
of Is or 20 men of Wolf Point and
Poplar who are interested in the
deep standard test well to be spud-
ded in soon on the Poplar dome.
Mr.. Crawford is making his sec
ond visit to the Poplar dome both
at his own expense and of his own
accord for the purpose of testing
his oil locating device and to es-
tablish what he terms a record.
He says he has visited many of
the prospective oil fields of the
state and made tests sworn state
ments of his opinion as to where
oil would be found and where it
would not be found. He claims
that his opinion has proven cor
rect in many if not in all instances.
In company with Theodore
Rounds and other Poplar men he
has just spent several days going
over the structure and with the
aid of his device has outlined the
oil pool and indicated where he
considers the best spot at which
to drill He has drawn a plat to
show exactly where these loca-
tons are. His judgment of the /
best locations is closely corrobor- I
ated by the findings of C. L. EN- T
mons who also surveyed the field. +
Both Emmons and Crawford de-
,lared that the first hole, which
was abandoned last spring is not
over the pool.
The demonstration proved inter-
,sting and at the same time mys-
erious to those who watched it,
)ut since Mr.. Crawford is here at
lis own expense and it not asking
or any fees, and declares his in
ention to invest in stock in the
well, his visit has GER
ainly not lessened the faith of
hose who are financially inter
sted in the enterprise and who
re confident oil will be found.

FEATURES LOW
COST METHODS
ANOTHER EXTENSION TRAIN
OF LIVE INTEREST TO
WHEAT GROWERS

A LowCost Wheat Production
train will be operated in northern
Montana by the Montana Exten-
sion service in cooperation with
the Great Northern Railroad and
farm machine companies during
January, February and March.
Wolf Point is included as one of
the AZ stops on the schedule. The
train will start at Opheim, Jan
uary s, and wind up at Billings
late in March. Definite dates for
all of the stops have not yet been
decided upon but according to the
present tentative schedule, the
train will arrive in Wolf Point
about January %. The train is
being operated under the direc-
tion of NJ L. Wilson, agricultural
economist at Montana State Col
lege.
Meetings Also
The train is being operated in
connection with a series of meet
ings arranged by the Montana ex-
tension service to present meth
ods and discusses the type of ma
chinery which successful farmers |
are using in Montana and other
important wheat growing areas to .
lower wheat costs. The train with
it's 15 cars of modern machinery
and implements will serve to illus
trate the points brought out at the
meetings. County Agent Warden

here. The train will be open for
inspection from 8 a. m. to 5 p. M

ing will start at 1870 p. m. In ad-
dition to the discussions which
