Morris PLdisdnce is
Fined for Speeding

Morris Plaisance, salesman at the
Lang garage, who was arrested the
first of the week by the city authori-
ties for speeding and reckless driving
in the streets of Plentywood, was ar
raigned Wednesday before Police
Magistrate Wheeler, when he pleaded
guilty and the judge assessed a fine
against him in the sum of $40 and
costs. 1t is said that Plaisance had
been a habitual offender and had
ben notified several times by the po-
lice to no avail.
The city authorities announce that
the traffic laws are going to be en-
forced to the letter and from now on,
and that there are some others that
are likely to be introduced to his
Honor shortly if they do not mend
their ways. The city officials remem-
Der the death of a school girl that
occurred as the result of an accident
in the streets the results of the vio-
lations of the. traffic laws and the
liberation thereof and have determin.
ed that there will be no more sucl
sacrifices if they can help it.
Only few days ago Donald Moore
was run into by a reckless driver anC
his leg broken, the driver not ever
disclosing his identity but kept OF
going, putting the expense of the ac
cident on the parents of the injure
! boy.

.Dr. Olson to Drill Oil Well on
P|entywO0d-Redstone Holdings
Jokesters Steal
Antelope Cor

Roy Dahl of Antelope accompanied
by lady friends drove TO Plenty
wood Saturday evening to attend the
dance at the Farmer-Labor Temple in
his Chevrolet Coupe. He parked his
car on the street near the hall. When
he came to go home his car was miss
ing and could not be located any
where. He notified the sheriff and
the city police who made a rapid
search. The sheriff got in touch with
everyone possible to be on the look
out for the car. No one seemed to
be able to locate the car or find any
trace of it.
Roy Dahl and his lady had to hire
a car to take them home.
The next morning the missing ca:
was found in Antelope near the lum-
ber yard, in good condition and cold.
Evidently someone with more humor
than good sense had purloined the car
as joke to annoy the young people,
and maybe, to get home easy them
selves. However if the party had
been caught he would have to defend
himself on charge of car stealing
which would not have been SO funny
The party who pulled the joke may
yet be prosecuted if the officers dis.
cover who it is.

John Collier Says Lease Open:
Door for Two Hundred
Million Dollar Steal.

Washington - (FP) = By adOp-
ton of the conference report on the
Interior Department appropriation
bill, February II, the Senate finally
agreed to permit the Federal Power
Commission to lease the great pow
er site on the Flathead Indian Res
ervatiOn in western Montana to the
highest bidder.
Senator r. M. LaFOllette, Jr,
stubbOrnly fought the adoption of
the report, on the ground that the
commission would probably lease
the power site to the Montana Pow
er Company on terms which would
not be fair to the Indians who own
it. Senator Wheeler, defending the
proposed lease, declared that "a riv-
al of the Montana Power Company
had promised to bid Slip per horse
power for the stipulated develop
ment of 100000 horsepower. The
Montana Power Company had Of
fered 81 per horsepower.
Wheeler declared that he would
have been glad to vote for govern
ment development of the power.
but that there was no possibility OF
securing such action and meanwhile
the Indians needed the income from
this resource.
John Collier, secretary of the In.
dian Rights Association. has de.
nOunced the leasing scheme on tht
ground that the power is worth
$500, 900, 600 more than the Montana
Power Company would pay for il
during the fifty year period of tht
proposed lease.

Arrogance of Wealth
No such spectacle of the arrogance
of organized private wealth toward
organized society in America had ev-
er before been staged in Washington.
By turns capoling, rebuking, pound
ing the table and shouting his pre-
tended anger or sense of insult, the
burly dictator of Standard of Indiana
refused to tell what he knew of the
$3,OO0,000 corruption fund raised by
the joint action of himself, Harry
Sinclair, H. M. Blacknrer of the Mid
west Refining Co., and the other con-
spirators in the naval oil lands scan
dal.
Sen. Walsh of Montana proved awk-
ward and butter-fingered Bratton of
New Mexico and Nye of North Dako-
ia asked the most definite questions
which forced Stewart repeatedly to
decline to answer. Finally, the new
est member of the senate, Cutting of
New Mexico, touched off the fears of
the oil king in a grand explosion of
stage-wrath.
Cutting, in a series of questions
led Stewart to show that he knew all
about the sale of oil which created the
! S3,090,000 secret fund at the expense
of the actual oil companies. Then
Stewart began blank denials of know
ing why he had been unable to buy
this oil for his own concern, while g
fake corporation, which he himself
joined in guarantying, had been able
to buy it at $1.50 and sell it immedi
ately to his group at $1.75. The New
Mexico senator ventured to say thai
this last part of Stewards testimon!
was hard to believe. He even re
marked that it was, Of course, pos
sible for the committee to assume tina
Stewart was committing perjury.
''I say that's an insult" yelled Stew
art, in carefully calculated buster ="

down on the table "The senate ha

Sen. Walsh hastily suggested tha

BLAZE AT BACHELORS
BUNGALOW IN P'WOOD

The bachelors bungalow, a small
cottage, two doors north of the Farm
er-Labor Temple was damaged slight
ly by a small blaze which occurred
Saturday afternoon about half past
three. 1t was the result of an over
heated stove. One of the roomers put
some coal in the stove, then went in
to another room, and while he was alb
sent, the walls took fire but had not
made much headway. A pail or two
of water being handy the flames were
quickly extinguished. The damage is
estimated at about $500.

The final basketball tournament of
the Northeastern district was held at
Poplar last Friday and Saturday,
Poplar winning first place and Plenty
wood second.
Four Teams Entered
There were four teams entered,
having won the right to enter bv be-
ing the two highest ranking teams Of
the sub-district tournaments held at
Plentywood and Malta a week earlier.
The teams entered were: Poplar, Plen-
tywood, Wolf Point and Bainville.
The tournament scores were:
Friday Evening
Poplar 38-Bainville %.
Plentywood 29-Wolf Point %.
Saturday Evening
Wolf Point 35-Bainville Is.
Poplar 24-Plentywood Is.
The second game of Saturday even
ing would have been a much better
and more evenly matched game had
the Plentywood team been playing
true to form. In fact we rather ques-
ton if the outcome would not have
been entirely different. By winning
this game the Poplar team is entitled
to represent this district in the state
tournament to be held at Butte this
week.
In the choosing of the all district
basketball team, the position of guard
and captain of the first team was
given to Leroy Guenther of Plenty
wood. Gibson Zeidler was given the
center position and captains position
on the, second team.
A special train was arranged for TO
bring the players and those who vert
to Poplar to witness the games.
