TOENGACE
PURPLE
By George A. Simpson

The permanency of the
newly organized District Prep
School Federation depends
upon the successful completion
OF the basketball league.
Gonzaga and st. Johns pry the
league schedule with a game to-
morrow afternoon in the Boys Club
gym, Third and c SITS. N. W., at
$50 o'clock. Dewitt Prep, the other
league member, idles until next
Wednesday.
Should the league play out its
schedule it is most certain that other
prep and independent high schools
OF this locality will decide to come
into the fold. Stringent rules have
precluded the entry Of several, but
these schools remain as eligible.
The Prep School League has
stronger rules than those pre-
vaiIing in the Public High
School League. No athlete over
20 years Of age can take part In
any sports while q transfer be-
comes eligible for competition
only after six months.
The league was formed by Orrel
Mitchell. who is laboring with the
aim to elevate prep school athletics
to the perch occupied by the public
high school group. 1t is planned to
have the champions of the two rep
resentative leagues meet annually
and in this way a true scholastic
titleholder will be known.
Today Tech has a. fine chance to
widen it's lead in the interhigh series
if q victory can be scored over Busi'
ness In the game slated at 3:l5
o'clock in the new Tech gym. East
ern and Western are battling in the
second fray and only the winner
will keep abreast of Tech in case
the Manual Trainers subdue the
Stenographers.
The Techites head the process.
sion with three victories and
no losses, with Eastern, West
ern and Business tied for second
place, each with a victory and
q loss. A triumph today would
give the Manual Trainers the
advantage for the first half and
would narrow the chances Of
their pursuers to catch them.
Coach Artie Boyd, the youthful
Tech mentor. sticks to the zone
defense style and this system has
brought the desired results. Rovd
realizes that opposing players can
remain outside the circle and fire
away at the baskets, but he also
better knows there are hardly any
series basketeers who can capitalize
on "snowbirds' much less those
1ong-range shots.

PORTABLE BOWERY The
NEWEST In RECREATION

Here is good news for lovers of
dancing. A bowery for all occa-
sions when dancing fits in. Not
exactly a bowery on wheels but a
bowery that travels, nevertheless
George Trudo of this city and
sons have just completed port
able dance bowery built in sec
tions that will make a good floor
40 by 80 feet. There will be side
walls and top, also. Mr.. Trudo
has engaged Winn Bros. dance
orchestra and secured concessions
at string of county fairs to be
held in September.
The opening engagement will be
at the Valley County Fair at Glas-
gov, Sept. 3 and 4. The idea of
a portable dance floor is new, at
least in this part of the country
and Mr.. Trudo believes it will be
a winner. Trudo & Sons conduct
ed the mammoth bowery on Third
street during the Wolf Point
Stampede.

PAYS $3.50 DAMAGE
FOR HITTING AUTO

A car driven by Mrs. ]. e. Erick-
son was badly damaged in an
auto accident which occurred Sat
urday night a few miles beyond
Poplar Mrs. Erickson and her
little girl were on their way to
Williston to meet Mr. Erickson
who is a salesman.
A car driven by Alfred Skjev-
land, a blacksmith, of Poplar
smashed into the Erickson car.
The occupants were not seriously
injured but the car was quite bad

have been intoxicated. When
John Anderson, sheriff, arrived on
the scene of the accident, after
being routed out of bed, he found
sitting in his car.

CAR TURNS over
ON West HIGHWAY
OCCUPANTS SLIGHTLY HURT
WHEN SPEEDING CHRYS-
LER SOMERSAULTS

A new Chrysler car belonging
to George Forbes of Malta was
badly smashed up in an accident
ON the highway west of Charley
Halls place on Monday forenoon.
None of the five occupants of the
car were badly hurt. The party
was en- route from Malta to Minot
and it seems that young daugh-
ter of Mr.. Forbes was driving In
attempting to pass a Star car it
is understood that the girl thought
she was going to hit the smaller
car, and in attempting to step on
the brake stepped on the acceler-
ator. Then in an attempt to avoid
the car ahead she turned too
sharply to the right with the re-
suit that the car rolled over twice,
going through the shallow ditch
and half way up the embankment
on the other side. The appear
ance of the car would indicate
that it went end over end 1t is
considered little less than mir
aculous that the occupants of the
car escaped with only few
bruises and minor injuries.
The smaller car, in which were
Fred G. Miller of Choteau and
Everett Ulshafer of Post Oak, Mo-,
was merely grazed and the rear
fender dented in These men said
that they were driving at about
25 to 80 miles an hour and did
not hear the Chrysler signalling
to pass them. Spectators estimate
that the Chrysler car was travel
ling at about so miles an hour.
Mr. Forbes, owner of the car,
was unwilling to make any state
ment to the Herald reporter either
as to names of the occupants of
MS car, or the speed at which the
car was travelling 1t is under
stood that he said to others that
The smaller car seemed to turn
)ut to let his car pass and then
7eered back toward the center of
he road just as the Chrysler was
lbout to pass, and that in order
o avoid hitting the Star car, his
laughter turned too quickly and
vent into the ditch.
Sheriff John H. Anderson, who
the accident shortly I
Lfter it occurred, says that he
annot see where any blame could
'e attached to the driver of the
irst car.

Ben Clark, lost their lives as the
result of a fire which destroyed
the Clark farm house about 1 a.

of which had returned the pre-
vious evening from Poplar where

The boys were asleep in the

bed clothes and found the partition
between his room and that of the

At the cost of severe burns he
successful in getting the Wallet
boy out of the blazing room and
then dragged the bed mattress
through the partition in hopes of
bringing out his own child, but
was unsuccessful, and the body of
the little fellow, burned beyond
recognition, was found in the eel
lar after the fire.
The Wallet boy was brought to
the government hospital h ere
where he died The funeral of the
Clark child was held from the
church here Sunday
and arrangements for that of the
Wallet boy were delayed owing to
difficulty in locating his father.

CITY OF SANISH HERE
BRINGS FLOUR CARGO

The days of river freighting
were recalled to mind this week
when Ira Slausson of Sanish came
up the Missouri with a cargo of
ten tons of flour which he brought
to Wolf Point from Sidney. He
was bound for the month of the
Musselshell and is planning to do
freighting between the mouth of
the Musselshell and Lismas.
Slausson's boat, the City of San
ish, had difficulty in getting be-
tween the piles of the temporary
bridge that has been thrown
across the Missouri parallel to
the place where the permanent
bridge is being constructed. 1t
was necessary to spring the piling
apart and then the boat could
Just squeeze through.
Mr. Slausson says that the Mis-
souri, river is very low, but that
the Yellowstone is even lower
than the Missouri. While Capt.
Slausson, who is also the entire
crew of the City of Sanish, has
touched on some sandbars on the
vay up, he has not been hung.

ON THE TRAIL
THRU WYOMING
THE CHANGING PICTURE IN
AN INTRIGUING SECTION
OF THE WEST
(By C. B. Marshall)

We awakened at Buffalo to the
novelty of birds singing in a tall
willow tree outside our window
and the gurgling of brook rip
pling over stones. Looking out
the window we saw the brook
flowed right underneath. The
water was so clear that we could
see the stones at the bottom.
Clear water-that was something
we got acquainted with in Wyom-
ing, and found nearly everywhere
we went. Most of the streams are
spring fed or snow fed, and the
water supply for most of the cities
comes from the mountains where
it is held in reservoirs to be led
by gravity down to the towns.
To the west we saw the snow
capped peaks of the Bighorn
and inquired how far
it was to the mountains. Seventy
miles" was the reply. If we were
at the distance we were
also surprised at the size of Buff
falo. The business places and
general air indicated a city of
25OO, but 1900 or 100 was the
best estimate of population we
were able of obtain from local
people. But then, the whole
county of johnson, of which Buff
falo is the county seat, has only
4347 inhabitants. The area of the

is a master of Jiu Jitsu. To most
people this is known as the art
that substitutes skill for strength,
or applies moderate strength with
such swiftness and expert skill
that brute force is rendered futal.
Mr.. T. says his normal weight
is 140 pounds yet he is ready to
go to the mat with any ambitious
athlete who applies, regardless of
weight. In other words he seeks
a wrestling match and nobody is
barred. He went on to Minot
where he hopes he will get a
match but will return to Wolf

captain in the Japanese army and
the champion among all the Nip
