friend, Mrs. Roy France of Lam
bert returned Sunday morning
from a motor trip to Estes Park,
Colo. They made the trip in a
new Buick car for the purpose of
bringing back a running mare be-
longing to Mrs Bell They re-
port a very successful journey
that was made in excellent time
with very little road trouble.
They found fine roads excepting
a short distance between Sheri-
dan and Buffalo. They visited
friends at Greeley and other
points. Both going and returning
they went by way of Billings and
Hardin. Merle s., the running
mare, was transported in a
trailer.

WONDERFUL PICTURE
RET0UCHED BY ARTIST

VIM Standing, the Indian ar
tist. whose home is at Oswego
was in Wolf Point recently and
spent some time in retouching and
in part remaking the large oil
painting, of which he is the artist
that hangs in the Fad Clothing
store.
The title of the painting is The
Last Chase. 1t makes deep i'm
preston on those who study it
because of the high degree of
talent reflected in its action and
coloring Standing has attracted
much attention and praise by his
works exhibited at Great Falls
both last year and this. He is a
full blood Indian, born near Fraz-
er, and is remarkably gifted with
the power to put the Old West and
its scenes in which Indians fgur-
ed on canvas in vivid form. This
young Indian has never taken
lessons in art, but practice and
experience in the way of contact
with the works of other artists is
developing him rapidly. He is al
ready grouped with such artists as
Joe De Yong and Lone Wolf, and
those competent to judge predict
for him a future comparable to
that attained by Charles NJ Rus

Description of
The Wolf Point
Bridge

This beautiful concrete and
steel truss bridge is being built a
few miles east of Wolf Point at
the place known as the Macon
crossing by the Missouri Valley
! Bridge and Iron Company. This
company makes it's headquarters
at Leavenworth, Kansas. 1t has
built several bridges across the
Missouri river, including the one
at Williston, North Dakota.
The figures appearing with the
etching of the bridge serve to give
an idea of the size of the struc-
ture, including the total length,
1912 feet, which is 16 more than
one-fifth of mile. Several inter
esting facts were ascertained from
members of the bridge crew The
dimensions of the largest pier, the
one near the center of the chan
mel, are so feet wide by II feet
thick. The one north, or to the
left, is II by 5S feet. The piers
at either end are pairs of steel
cylinders filled with concrete.
They have diameter of nine feet
and are % feet and eight inches
apart. The heights of the piers,
left to right, from their footing to
the floor of the bridge are 1885
feet, 1874 it., 120 it., 1929 tt.
The heights of the three trusses,
left to right, above the floor are:
4S feet, 48 feet and so feet. 1t
will be seen from the drawing
that the bridge is built on an in
cline, the left or north end being
lower The difference in eleva-
tion between the two ends is
twenty feet
In the construction of the
bridge 10000 cubic yards of con-
crete will be used, 100000 pounds
of structural steel, 10000 pounds
of steel castings and 175,000
pounds of reinforcing steel.
The grade approaches at each
end of the bridge will have
foundation made of network of
wood piling driven into the ground
and filled in with concrete as
precaution against the erosive
force of the river when at food
stage.
The engineering scheme en-
ployed in building the piers from
their foundations to the surface
of the water is extremely inter
esting, but too technical and com
plicated to attempt to describe
until better understood.

NOT WITHSTAND DIS
REGARD OF LAW

New York, April 22.-President
Hoover, in an earnest appeal to
his fellow citizens to observe the
law, declared here today that life
and property in the United States
"are relatively more unsafe than
in any other civilized country in
the world"
In his first address since his in
auguration, delivered at the annual
luncheon of The Associated Press,
the chief executive said he was
wondering whether the time had
not come ito realize that we are
confronted with a national neces-
sity Of the first degree, that we
are not suffering from an ephemer-
al crime wave but from a sub
sidence OF our foundations"
Liquor Only Part of Picture
"In order to dispel certain IL
lusions in the public mind on this
subject" Mr.. Hoover said, '1et me
say at once that while violators
of law have been increased by in
clusion of crimes under the
eighteenth amendment and by the
vast sums that are poured into the
hands of criminal classes by the
patronage of illicit liquor by
otherwise responsible citizens, yet
this is but one segment of our
problem"
He explains that he cited the
extent of murder, burglary, rob
berry, forgery, and embezzlement
because only a small percentage
of these could be attributed to the
eighteenth amendment, and he as
serted that of the total number of
convictions for felony last year
less than eight per cent came from
the source of the dry law.

PETTY CRIME
INVESTS CITY
THiEVERY THE COMMONEST
FORM-BOES, BUNS AND
BEGGARS

In payment of the penalty that
is usually assessed against well
advertised, prosperous towns and
cities, Wolf Point is just now
overrun with hoboes, handout
artists, and petty thieves, with a
smattering of con men thrown in,
ranging from bum check writers
to high-powered solicitors.
Complaints are numerous and
from various sections of town
about small losses of merchandise,
tools, etc Siphoning gasoline or
oil from automobiles or tanks is a
common trick. Some places have
been entered at night and small
change or merchandise taken. In
one case a box car was entered
and grain stolen from an imi-
grant Some places of business
have been entered several times.
Suspects
1t is believed that the local
light fingered fraternity, including
children, are taking advantage of
the situation to ply their trade in
the hope that their acts will be
charged to their transient breth-
eren.
Thursday afternoon Sheriff And
erson arrested a man who was
caught in the act of stealing pipes
of a show case in the Huxsol
Drug store. This man has been
in jail before on a charge of dis
turbing the peace.
The police are spotsiag the
suspects, both transient and local,
and a flock of arrests are in pros
pect. Some of them may prove
sensational.

ON THE MEMBERSHIP
ROLL FOR 1929

The membership committee ap
pointed by President Catlin of the
golf club are making a successful
canvas for 1929 members More
than forty have been signed and
there are still plenty of prospects
The members of the committee,
F. f. Rathert and r. l.. Stephens,
in behalf of the club invite and
urge all those who are interested
in golf, or think they might be-
come so, to join the club and give
the wonderful outdoor game a
lrial
There is nothing exclusive about
the club 1t is open to all who
care to join. The annual fee is
$15 for local male members, $3.50
for non-residents who desire the
privileges of the course, and $500
for women who do not have the
privilege of the course through
he membership of husband
or father. Rural neighbors ere
especially invited to join as uon-
resident members.

Extensive improvements are be-
ing made on the grounds which
are better than they have ever
been before and compare favorably
with anything in this corner of
the state Excepting motoring,
there is not much left for lovers
of the outdoors to do or attend
in the way of recreation. Adult
baseball is, for the time being at
least, inactive. Tennis courts are
few. Golf has many advantages,
the greatest of which is that it's
a game for the whole family 1t
is as simple as croquet, yet so
fascinatingly battling that experts
never completely master it. Best
of all it builds up in the commu-
