Wrangell Plans Housing
 Fourth of July Celebration

inconvenience of the situation, the finance committee decided that no third place prize would be offered. It is planned at this time not to charge admission but take up a col- lection for the benefit of the hos pital.
 Host of Amusements
 Wrangell Elks will offer to the spending public g host of amuse- ments to make the day more enjoy able. the proceeds of which will be donated to the hospital. and the P.-T. A. will pass out coffee and hot dogs from morning to night for. of course, small fee per helping.
 Airplape to Aid Celebration
 MT. Hanford and the Aviation committee are working hard and fully expect to have present in town all day of the Fourth the new plane 'Wrangelp' of the Alaska-W Washing- ton Airways, to give a little more class and decided height" to the celebration.
 Decorations Needed
 E. A. Lindman says he is certain iy expecting some classy decorations in the windows of Wrangell stores with the beautiful colors he will have flying overhead. He thinks everyone should have flag flying from that old flag staff in the front yard that hasn't been used since the war, and says, If you haven't a stan, stick a broom out of the win dow with a flag on the handle. Think how well it will look from the air, when people will be flying over Wrangell in the "Wrangell." Even ii your house is on a back street or behind another one, remember that there will be scores of persons who will have a bird's-eye view of the whole town, and we want them to have an eye-full of patriotic decoras tions."
 The Fourth of July celebration will be introduced by the big dance of the P.-T.

AlaSka--T Land
 Few People Know
c. E. Hagie, Former Superintendent Wralngen Schools, Now Member of Faculty State Teachers College, Alamosa, Colo, Writes Interesting Magazine Article on His One Time Home Land.

The June issue of the Overland Monthly and Out West Magazine, contains an excellent article entitled "Alaska-The Land Few People Know written by c. E. Hagie. for mer superintendent of the Wrangell Schools.
 MT. Hagie's opening paragraph, "Of all the territory under the American flag none Is so little known by the average citizen as is Alaska. Probably no area of It's size on the face of the earth has been as much misrepresented as has this terri tory" strikes a responsive note in the hearts of Alaskans.
 MT. Hagie's article is very in- teresting and in part Is as follows:
 "Our school textbooks have pie tured this veritable empire in size and natural wealth as a far-off, in- significant peninsula of snow and ice, inhabited by Eskimos, polar bears and outlaws. Finally, as crowning climax to this process of propaganda syndicated article Tor the Sunday supplement of the news papers has credited 1t with possess ing the wickedest town under the dominion of the Stars and Stripes.
 Alaska is fast developing into land of permanent homes in con trast with the popular idea of wild, frontier, gold stampeder's shifting camps. Modern homes, up-to-date sanitation, electric light and tele- phones, radios, hur e 8, good schools, theatres, civic clubs, cham bers of commerce, community pride, all these are the rule, not the excep- tion as so many believe. So far no Alaska town has had to call for fed eral help in handling the crime situ- ation. Nor is crime more prevalent than in many communities else- where-New York or Chicago, or Seattle. for example. The majority favor whatever they believe to be for the best interests of their com munity.
 Undeveloped Empire
 Picture to yourself an undevel- oped empire larger than twenty-one of the older states of the Union. In your imagination lay out upon its surface the states of New York, Ver7 mont, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massa- chusetts, Indiana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecti- cut, Delaware, Maryland, West Vir- ginia, North Carolina, South Caro- lima, Maine, Alabama, Tennessee. Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkan- sas and set aside district five times the size of the District of Co., lumbia-and you will lack one square mile of covering the surface of Alaska. It has a coastline great CT than that of the entire United | States.

AIRWAYS COMPANY HAD
SUCCESSFUL SEASON

The officers and stockholders OF
the Wolf Point Always corpor-
alton held business meeting
Wednesday evening. It was not
the annual meeting which comes
later, but a session held to survey
the business of last season and
consider future plans. The com
pany was organized last summer
and has been operating only a
few months, but President Cook
reports that it shows a profit of
1871 on the investment. This is
represented by cash in the bank
and the hangar which was built.
Part of the income came from the
training of students and part from
commercial flying.
Jim Cook was again employed
as pilot on a commission contract.

and to make certain |
,ther minor improvements which

No Date Set BY Paul
For Jury Term Court

At the law and motion session
held Wednesday, Judge Paul de
cided not to fix date at this time
for a spring jury term of district
court, but ordered the pending
cases listed and asked the attor-
neys to look them over and report
any cases that they wanted tried.
While there is nothing definite to
indicate that there will be a jury
term, it is possible that one will
be called during the latter part
of March.
Not much business came before
the court outside of motions and
demurrers. Some evidence was
taken in the divorce case of
Audrey Newton of Poplar against
George Newton and the case was
taken under advisement by the
court.
Harriet Whiteagle was granted
a divorce from Jerome Whiteeagle
The parties are Poplar Indians.

COUNTY HOLDS GOOD
SALE LOTS AND LANDS

Roosevelt county on the 22nd
and 23rd held an advertised sale
of town lots and farm property
TO which it had taken title on ac-
count of tax delinquencies. All
the town. property offered, situated
in Froid and Bainville, was sold
at the appraised values and some
of that which was offered in Cul-
bertson.
OF the farm lands offered 1920
acres were sold. A little of it
brought more than the appraised
value, which had been placed at
sufficient to cover the taxes due.
On the town property, however,
the county had to take a consider
able loss, or less than what was
due it in taxes.
Acting on the opinion of the
attorney general, and the recent
court decision, the board
at its last session voted to refund
20 the state banks in the county
he taxes which had been paid
lnder protest, or that part which
vas in excess of what was due

FATHER BRINGS
HIS SON BACK
DAN TURCOTTE TURNS JOE
OWED TO AUTHORITIES
PLEADS GUILTY

A burglar, who gained entrance
to the Stennes-McConnon hard
ware store Monday night by
breaking in rear window, took
seven or eight dollars in silver
and pennies, at least dozen
pocket knives and possibly other
merchandise. The robber made
his getaway through the same
window through which he entered
and left in the tin shop a pair of
leather harness lines and a robe.
Chief of Police Ed Nichol was
able to track the thief for a ways
but lost the trail in the beaten
streets. A very hot tip was given
the chief, however, informing him
that Joe Turcotte had given new
pocket knife to Tom Dorr, junior,
and had displayed some change,
including a quantity of pennies
Investigation proved that Turcotte
had left town and Mr.. Nichol was
preparing to go to Trenton, N.
Oak, where Turcotte's father
lives, with the expectation of find
ing Joe there. Thursday night
Dan Turcotte, Joe's father, came
to Wolf Point, bringing his son
with him. When Joe showed up
at home for no particular ap-
parent reason his father suspected |
that something was wrong, and |
Joe confessed to him what he had |
lone. When questioned by County |
Attorney Foor, he told the whole
story and repeated it before Judge
Gordon, who bound him over to
district court with bonds at $1,000
which have not been furnished.
The defendant will be taken before
Judge Paul in district court on
February 13.

nifty ready for discussion. The
election of officers will be the
principal routine matter to take
up.
The most important essential
to successful meeting is
large and representative attend
ance and that is strictly up to the
members. Voting will,
of course. be restricted to club
members, but prospective mem
bers and all interested in the well
fare of Wolf Point are most
invited and a special in
is extended to women.

OLD MAN WINTER CUTS
LOOSE, SHOWS STUFF

The proverbial weather man ran
short of the mild variety of winter
weather the past week and had
to fall back on the old time stuff
that you read about. Sunday was
a beautiful day, an ideal sample
of snowy but delightful winter
Monday afternoon a sharp corner
was turned and the wind came up
and blew the snow about at a furi-
GUS rate. First it blew from the
northeast, then it appeared to
switch to the northwest. AS a
matter of fact wire reports told
of two blizzards, one to the east
and the other to the west of us
and these met in this section.
The temperature dropped to few
degrees below zero and it was de-
cidedly unpleasant, especially for
farmers who had come to town
and others who CHANGED to be on
the road. But it was very short
lived and its force was spent by
EN- o'clock that evening. Since
hen bright sunshine and still, bit
ng cold has been the program.
The lowest temperature by test
ID government thermometer was
IS degrees below. Thursday was
he coldest day with the ther-
nometer never showing warmer
han about 20 below.
The roads are drifted in spots
ut are good in general and no
erious results from the cold have
cen reported This region has
ecidedly the best of the cold
nap. Points east and west have
ad cold as extreme as As to 55
Glow.

Recalls Severe
Blizzard of '73

Paul Schillinger, Sr., recently
received copy of the Usage News
of Usage, Iowa, in which there is
a description of the terrible three
day blizzard of 70 in which a
number of people lost their lies,
some men perishing while at
tempting to care for their stock.
In some instances teachers and
pupils were imprisoned in school
houes without food, and were COM
PEELED to burn benches and furni-
ture to keep from freezing. Mr..
Schillinger says that he has a dis
tinct recollection of that storm,
being a school boy at the time.
The storm came up suddenly like
that of Monday, but there was a
much heavier snowfall and it
lasted for three days.

POPLAR WOMAN CLOSE
TO TRAGEDY ON TRAIN
Poplar Standard

Mrs. Tom Colgan arrived home
from California Tuesday morning
and reports a peculiar incident,
which came close to affecting her,
while enroute home.
Mrs. Colgan occupied pullman
seat just back of vacant seat.
AS the train sped along some
thing crashed through the window
over the vacant seat and landed
in the aisle. 1t proved to be an
auto headlight and the train was
backed to the place where it en-
tered. 1t was found that a car
carrying five Mexicans had run
into the side of the train. All the
occupants were killed.
Had Mrs. Colgan been a seat
farther ahead or had the headlight
struck her window, she would pro-
badly have suffered severe injury.
Mrs. Colgan has spent the past
several weeks in Los Angeles and
visiting.
