HITTING THE TRAIL

WOLF POINT TO CHEYENNE
LEiSURELY JOURNEY ON
SCENIC ROUTE
(By C. B. Marshall)

The trail to Cheyenne was an
interesting one. We left here
Sunday noon and reached Miles
City at dusk, had a pleasant visit
with the Jenkins family and saw
something of the city and then
turned westward over the Yellow
stone trail There were number
of routes that we might have TAX
en-, but wishing to visit the Custer
battlefield we took that one.
The Yellowstone Trail, high
way No. 10, is going to be won
derful road one of these days, but
at the time we went over it there
was so much construction and so
many detours, that it left much
to be desired This was particu-
larly true between Terry and
Miles City. We were told that
little maintenance work was be-
ing done on the old trail on ac-
count of the new road being built.

full.

TRAINS TO REMOVE
PEOPLE

Bolton, Aug. 21.-Six hundred
men were battling desperately
Wednesday night in an effort to
save the park administration
buildings from the Half Moon fire
that is raging through the forest
from the west.
With every available frefghter
pressed into service, the forest
officials Wednesday ordered all
residents and visitors in the Lake
Mcdonald area to leave. Trains
have been sent by the Great Nor
thern to take people out. The
east side of the park is not
menaced.
Late Wednesday the flames
were within two miles of Bolton
station and town on the south side
of the middle fork of the Flathead
river, and into Glacier park on the
north side. With strong west
wind blowing the fiery front was
sweeping along toward the town
and into the park.

MOVIEDOM TO Be
SHOWN, LIBERTY
HOLLYWOOD OF REAL LIFE
BROUGHT TO SCREEN IN
"A MANS MAN"

Hollywood from new vantage
point, the Hollywood of real life
with its stars and players away
from the camera after working
hours, as plain human beings with
their comicaI fads and foibles and
ambitions contrasted with grim
disappointments and tragedies, are
vividly brought to the screen in
ga Mans Man." playing at the
Liberty Theatre, Thursday and
Friday.
This new romance, starring Will
liam Haines and directed by
James Cruze, who gave the world
'"The Covered Wagon" is literally
cross section of Hollywood life.
Haines plays a young soda clerk
in Hollywood. He has a cores
pondence school complex and an
ambition to join the Elks. Jose
phine Dunn is the heroine. She
wants to get into pictures, as is
always the case in Hollywood
Wild Party
There is a wild Hollywood party
in it-a brilliant film premiere
with all stardom on parade, which
was taken at an actual event and
which shows John Gilbert and
Greta Garbo, among others, enter
ing theatre.
1t shows an assistant director as
the villain-purely figurative, as
Cruze assures all assistant direc-
tors 1t also gives a satire "slant"
on Hollywood. Cruze has min
gled with his satire very beau
tiful love story with remarkable
human interest touches.
Sam Hardy plays the villain,
and achieves the height Of villainy
while still managing to get a few
aughs out of the satire, and Mae |
Busch is seen as the hardboiled |
picture actress who acts as guard
an angel to the movie-struck

SCHNITZLER FARMS
YIELDING FAIR CROP

Senator John w. Schnitzler,
who came from Froid Wednesday
to deliver an address over KICK
as part of the new statio's grand
opening program, w d n d y
night, says that crops in the east
end of the county are better than
some expected. He said that on
his own farm (some 1000 acres)
northwest of Froid, the summer
fallowed ground is threshing out
around 16 or IS bushels, and
Spring sown fields Z to IA.
When asked concerning his con-
templated trip on the German air
ship, Graf Zeppelin, he said he ex-
pected to sail on the ship from
Lakehurst, sN j., to Germany as
soon as the ship has completed
its circuit of the world Senator
Schnitzler made application for
passage on DR.. Eichner's great
craft from Los Angeles to Lake
hurst, but was unsuccessful be-
cause there is question as to the
legal right of the ship to take paid
across the continent.
Ordinarily the senator travels
by airplane and expects to receive,

DRY YEARS CAN'T

That drought conditions recur
at fairly regular intervals is a
statement made by students of the

who remember the drought of
1908. Mrs. Hattie Martin of the
Nickwall neighborhood, who came

A large number of people drove
from Wolf Point and vicinity last

SHORT WAVE CHANNEL
ADJUSTMENT SOUGHT
Radio Officials of U. S., Canada
Mexico and Cuba to Meet
at Ottawa.

Radio officials of Canada, the United
States, Mexico and Cuba will meet at
Ottawa this month, probably beginning
January 81, for the purpose OF ADJUST
ing conflicting claims to short wave
channels for continental communica-
tons.
The chief problem is the distribution
of channels between Canada and the
United States on a basis of parity and
the prevention of interference. At pre-
vious conferences Canadian officials in
sisted on an equal division OF wave
lengths. Representatives of this coun-
try contended that the United states.
with its much greater population ana
commercial DEVELOPMENT, required a
proportionately larger number OF chan-
nels. A..
The Canadians maintain that the
expansion of population and n rapid
development of industries IN their coun.
try necessitates the use OF additlonal
radio facilities and that in the vast
areas of the north radio is the only
feasible method of communication.
Dominion authorities have taken the
position that the limited number OF
channels in the short wave band should
not be assigned to commercial enter
prises where wire service Is available.
The recent action OF the Federal RADIO
Commission is granting the use of sew
eral of these channels for point to point
communication paralleling land lines
was criticized by Canada's press as un-
fair to that country.
American delegates. however. are con-
fident that a satisfactory settlement OF
the controversy can be reached, says
Lieut.. Comdr. T. A. M. Craven. snort
wave adviser for the commission. In
addition to Condr. Craven, Harold La
fount. Sam Pickard and o. H. Cald-
we'll. radio commissioners, and w. K.
Valance of the State Department COM

reference.

HARTFORD, Conn. @.-Close atten-
ton Is being given plans for the an
tenna to be erected On Avon Mountain
for the new 50,O00-watt d station OF
VITO.
Two and possibly three steel towers
will be placed on the 20O-acre site. For
initial experimentation work a vertical
antenna will be erected by Prof. w. j.
Williams of Rensselaer, Polytechnic In
stitute, Troy, N. Y, consulting engineer
for the station, and al RCA engineer
who has specialized on %antennae, have
been comforting with the engineering
staff of VITO on these and other tech
nical matters.
The management is seeking the in
stallation of an antenna that will direct
the radio energy westward and defect as
much power as possible away from the
immediate vicinity. 1t is believed that
with due consideration given to con
struction and to what has been learned
about direction of radio waves, that
many of the objections which were
raised to the first high-powered sta
lions a few years ago can be avoided
and that the station can be made to
serve a far larger area of both the
United States and Canada than would
be the case with just a standard an
tenna.
The management plans to assist own
erS of radio sets in communities near
the new location in preserving for them
good reception from nearly all stations
now available. 1t hopes and expects,

"Often we get vaudeville stars to sing,

IT think they would do much better

they were talking or playing to them
