WOLF POINT SURELY HAS THE
MAKINCS OF GREAT STAMPEDE

Some folks smile at that Bigger and Better
slogan but it sure fits this year. The Stampede or
ganization has the goods to prove it.
Clerk Jay Cusker, Secretary Boe, Chairman
Stennes and the rest of the Stampede managers re-
port more performers, more live stock, especially
speed horses and greater array of side attractions
than have ever come to any of the other eight
Stampedes.
Fifty-one bronc riders are entered.
About so horses for the race events.
And ropers, bulldoggers, bareback riders
Rodeo trick artists and funmakers plenty
The first days program shows for itself. A full
afternoon. great show.
The second and third days will pep up as the
contests the finals.
The acrobatic troupe is something new as cur
tain raiser
Wolf Point wants everybody to have a good
time and the full value of their money.

COUNTY VALUE
IS $l2,5l7,276
WORTH HALF MILLION MORE
THAN IN 1928 SAYS
CLAYTON

l.. NJ. Clayton, assessor OF
Roosevelt county, has just com.
pleted schedule summarizing
the taxable property in the coun.
ty. The total number of acres of
taxable real estate is 696,132 or
an increase of nearly 10000 acres
over the 1928 report. This does
not, however, indicate the entire
additional acreage under cultiva-
tion, as the county has taken title
to large amount of land during
the past year. The cash value of
the taxable land amounts to $6,-
865,585, as compared to $6,723, ACT
a year ago. improvements this
year are listed as $2,212,229, as
compared to s2,305,O92 in 1928.
This apparent decrease in the
value of improvements is due to
the county's taking tax title to
considerable improved property
on which the taxes were delin-
quent

FAST TRAIN HITS
HORSES; 20 DEAD
HUDDLED BETWEEN RAILS AT
NIGHT; BIG TRAIN HOLDS
THE RAILS

No. 2, The Empire Builder. the
Great Northern's new fast train,
speeding on its way eastward,
Sunday morning, ran into bunch
of horses near Dabney siding, east
of Macon. The train kept the
rails and nothing serious happen
ed to it, but 30 horses were killed.
The train was running so miles
per hour when the engineer sight
ed the obstruction and slammed
on the air brakes. The train slid
far enough to fiatten every wheel
on it sufficiently to require new
set.
Open Gate
The right of way was fenced
and a gate opened at a private
grade crossing. The gate was
closed at four o'clock the after
noon before, it is said, and it
appears that some one opened it
to allow the horses to Craze on
the railroad right of way The
horses belonged to several differ
ent people and ownership has not
been established.
The incident tends to show that
the heavy steel trains and man.
moth engines, now used by the
Great Northern, are much safer
than the trains in service a few
years ago. Railroad men say it
is marvellous that the engine and
every car kept the track.

SHAFER SEEKS TAX
REDUCTION, SOL0NS
SEE IN FIRST VETO
Killing Measure introduced by
the Independents Draws
Chuckles and Praise

Members of the North Dakota legis-
lature today were Of the opinion that
Governor George F.. Shafer's veto Of
the wolf bounty bill is significant Of
two things.
The first Is that the governor really
meant what he said when he told
them that his will be an economy
administration. The second Is that
the governor intends to stand on his
own feet and make his own decisions.
Resentment at the governors action
In overruling the legislature appeared
to be totally lacking. Those Nom
partisan league members who are dis
posed to view the matter in political
light W0re getting quiet chuckle out
Of tho tact that Shafer's first veto
went TO . bill sponsored by an Inde-
pendent, G. g. Turner Of Stark county.
They were frank in regarding it as q
good sign.s
The veto was regarded in some
circles as the governors method Of
serving notice on the legislature that
appropriations must be held down.
It is believed to have dimmed the
prospects for any substantial In
creaSes in state expenditures at. this
session. With demonstration before
them Of what the executive will do II
necessary to hold down expenses. leg
iSlative leaders Of both factions were
disposed to WELD the pruning knife
themselves rather than force the gov
ernor to kill measures by swinging his
veto club.
Although the governor explained his
veto wholly on the ground that II
would be poor business to increase
the wolf bounty, some were disposed
to regard it as good politics. These
regarded the veto as q demonstration
that the governor, while not attempt
ing to dictate to the legislature. new
ertheless proposes to exercise his own
judgment and not let the legislature
dictate to him. They also saw In the
veto an indication that the governor
intends to stress economy rather thar
politics in the administration Of the
office.
The bill which caused the execu-
tive disapproval was one to increas(
the state wolf bounty from IS to Is
It was introduced in the house b,
Representative G. G. Turner, Starl
county, Independent.
His action. the governor said. va!
dictated by the principles Of soune
economy. He pointed out that pre-
vious to 1923 the present rate o
bounty was paid but that it VA
raised In that year and deficit o
$50, 900 was created. Because Of tina
the bounty was lowered to its presen
rate in 1927.
The governor pointed out that vol
hides now bring from SO to $20 each
the highest prices known. and that a
increase in the state bounty Is no
necessary to encourage hunters b
destroy wolves.

and subsequent self-imposed impris-
onment Of the pope ut the vatican.
In the agreement the vatican has
subordinated claims to added tenn
poral power to recognition Of its prin-
ciples Of moral law In Italy. Various
concessions are made the church By
the Italian state relating to the power
Of the pope In the vatican area. Re.

'HOODOV ENDS HOP
BY MARTIN JENSEN,
SEEKING SOLO MARK
Didn't Mind Broken Gas Pipe,
Ice and Rain, but Broken
Water Jug Too Much
IN AIR II HOURS 6 MINUTES
Flyer Who Visited Bismarck
Last Summer Carried Shav-
ing Utensils in Flight
IN AIR II HOURS 6 MINUTES

Mitchell Field, N. Y, Feb. 7-(AP)
"A "hoodoo" that trailed Martin
Jensen from the time he took off
yesterday in an attempt to break the
solo endurance flight record finally
forced him down at 2:10 this morn
ing with less than half his goal
achieved.
In the Bellanca monoplane Green
Flash he set out to beat the record
Of IS hours and 25 minutes estab-
lished by the late Royal Thomas. He
took off at 9:04:05 a. M, yesterday
in the face of adverse weather con-
ditions and at the time of his land
ing had been in the air II hours, 6
minutes.
He declared the combination of ice
and rain that he had faced all day
and night, eliminating In a series Of
petty annoyances, caused him to give
up the attempt.
A minor break in a ga:oline pipe,
the breaking of the therAhostat and
the bad weather caused him consid-
cradle annoyance. When a gallon
earthen jug Of water crashed to the
floor of the cabin, sending frag-
ments of the jug into his eyes, he de-
cided he had enough.
Feared Landing in Rain
While he did not suffer any seri-
Gus injury to his eyes, Jensen said
the rain caused him to fear he would
not be able to make safe landing.
He brought his plane down without
mishap, however. Although he, fin.
| ished in second place, in the Dole
derby from San Francisco to Ha-
waii he described his flight Of yes
terday and last night over the Long
Island flying fields as one Of the
most difficult in his career.
| Shortly after he ascended ice
formed on the wings of his plane.
causing him to lose altitude. Rain
which followed soaked him and
caused the ice to melt.
Despite these difficulties notes
dropped during the early evening
breathed optimism.
One of them read: "After eight
hours in the air I'm cold and hun
. cry. This weather is terrible. The
way it looks it's going to be a tough
night. I'm neither cramped nor tired
Everything is working 100 per cent
Haven't touched, the rolls yet"
I'm All Wet
Another said: "Hey, it's wet ur
here. Ice began collecting on wings
and struts about / p. m. when il
started raining 1t melted. Had SC
much ice it started losing altitude

In addition to the jug Of water
which proved to be the straw tha
broke the camel's back, Jensen car
ried aloft a quart Of coffee and si1
hard rolls. He also took shaving sup
plies on the theory that II he shavet
: it would keep him awake.
It was Jensen's second failure il
! an attempt to set an endurance rec
!. ord. A week ago he was forced dow
; by an overheated engine after tw
hours in the air.
