The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1929-02-01

ACROSS the MISSOURI, all that re
mains to be done is for the con
tractors to get at the job anG
finish it. Let us not forget that
this project called for lots OF
thought, time and energy and lots
of money also. 1t is a comforting
reflection to recall that the
thought, time, energy and money
were all furnished by this com
munity when needed.
Above all, there is a "get-to-
gether" spirit, which is the envy
of rival cities.
At the banquet rendered to
Governor Erickson last summer
by the club he complimented the
businessmen of this city for their
organization and habit of pulling
together. One of our directors,
Frank H. Livingston, has the
credit of bringing the governor
here on that occasion.
The visit of the Great Northern
special livestock and feed exhibit
ton train here last October was
quite a success, especially the
buns and hot-dogs dispensed by
the luncheon committee.
Last week 300 farmers attended
the low-cost wheat production
meeting here. The Great North
ern railway ran a special train
for the machinery exhibit and
speeches on the production of
wheat were made at the Liberty
by experts in this line. The talks
were illustrated with slides. Two
of our members, G. l.. Marshall
and Frank II. Livingston, at much
personal inconvenience in the e r
weather, welcomed the visiting
lecturers and made arrangements
for their demonstration here.
Tourist Camp Grounds
This matter had for years been
in an unsatisfactory state but in
1928 the committee on this matter
solved the question, it is to be
hoped for all time. The city now
has a real camp ground. One in
cident sticks in my memory. I
recall going round among the bust
getting money for this
project and in a few hours of one
day I collected mi thousand dol
lars in cash or checks.
AAA Branch Office
A well organized bureau is
maintained by the club furnishing
information and maps to the trav-
cling public. This bureau re-
reports from all surrounding
states which may be consulted at
the Office and we send out weekly
reports on the condition Of all
roads out of this city to the North
Dakota line, north to the Canadian
line and south to Circle and points
west.
The club room is Wolf Points
reception room. You who make
infrequent visits to u office would
be surprised to see how many
visitors from all over the country
call in there. There are tourists,
for information about the
roads, or home folks planning a
motor tour, who call to inquire
he best route to Denver OIL Cal
gary. People seeking business To-
are occasionally callers.
LAST year we narrowly escaped
a wooden mill, an oil re-
merry and a brick and tile factory
established here. All that kept
hem from settling in our midst
vas the fact that we didn't fall
or handing them a bonus to have
hem settle. l remember that one
Mysterious individual did his best
o induce Director A. w. Huxsol to
.onate him the Listerud Flour mill
+ the Huxsol building to start
is operations in. Why" he said
o Mr.. Huxsol, you have to sell ,

Quite a volume of correspond i
nee is handled by the club and I

nd courageously. !
