ELK ARE DONATED
FOR FOREST RESERVE

Word was received this morning by
the officials of the Red Lodge Rod
and Gun club telling them that 40
head of choice elk are ON hand at the
government bison range, near st. Ig-
natius, and if the local club will pay
small share in transporting them
they will be shipped here for liberia
ton on the forest reserve.
The government officials will ship
the two cars of elk to Red Lodge at
any time desired and all the local club
has to pay is 5000 for part of the
cost of rounding up the animals and
the transportation of same. The mat
ter of transporting the game from
the cars to the reserve will cost in the
neighborhood of 500 and this work
will have to be done with trucks.
The matter has the endorsement of
the officials of the club and now they
state if any one wishes to own an elk
all he need do is to hand the club
$3.50. 1t is cheap investment and
in years to come we will have one Of
the greatest game preserves in the
entire country.

RED LODGE WILL BE
MARKED FOR PLANES

At the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday night the matter of
placing a sign for pilots of airplanes
to read while flying over the city was
discussed and it was the unanimous
opinion that the need should be taken
care of.
Postmaster c. R. Northrup was on
hand and read letters from the postal
department suggesting that this be
done, and he also read letter from
the Guggenheim Foundation. This is
the people that are backing Lindbergh
in much of his air work and they will
send beautiful engraved testimonial
with Col. Lindbergh's signature as a
gift to Red Lodge as soon as the sign
is painted.
Permission has been secured from
the owners Of the Thompson Yards to
paint the sign on the roof of their
main building. This is the largest
roof in the city, and permits of paint
ing the words "Red Lodge in letters
20 feet high. Each letter will be in
the neighborhood Of "A feet wide. The
work will be done by Provinse & Show
erman as soon as the weather will
permit and it will be done in a chrome
yellow, the most easily read color it
is stated.
Directly beneath the name of Red
Lodge a large arrow will point to the
North. At a later date, when a land
ing field is definitely located a second
arrow will point to that field. Red
Lodge will be one of the first cities in
the state to 50 mark itself for the
air passengers.

POSTER CONTEST AND
ART EXHIBIT PLANNED

The city library fund was augment
ed by the amount of one hundred
dollars when the teachers and pupils
of the city schools voted unanimously
Thursday to pass on to the library
board the one hundred dollars raised
last spring and contributed to the
community building fund This
money was recently refunded the
schools on the grounds that for the
present the community building pro-
ject is dormant. The money has been
accepted by the library board and
will be used to purchase children's
books.
At general teachers meeting held
in the Field school Thursday evening,
plans were formulated for conducting
an interclass poster contest depicting
scenes in Washington Irving's Icha-
bod Crane, which will be presented in
operetta form by the school children
at the Workers hall, Friday, March 1.
All classes in grades four to eight
inclusive will make posters and first

for the best work in each grade. All
Croonquist, Nelson Lane and Jalmar
Salo will act as judges, and make the
awards to the successful contestants
between acts at the Workers hall
the night of the play.
At the same teachers meeting pre-
liminary plans were made in prepar-
alton for an art exhibit to be spon-
sored by the city schools March II
to Is inclusive. The art collection
is the property of the Colonial Art
Co. of Oklahoma City, Okla, and
consists of one hundred and fifty
large colored reproductions of the
most noted pictures of old and mod
ern masters. Among the most fam
Gus artists represented are: Gains
borough, Titan, Da Vinci, Terborch,

sentative subjects from the brush of

George Ines, Ernest Albert, Frank
Duveneck, Gardner Symons, Bruce
Crane, William Wyant, Harry Vim
cent, Robert Wesley Amick and Gus
tav Wiegand. TIE are exhibit is be-
ing brought here for the two fold
purpose of supplementing the regular
work in art that is taught through
out the grades and to raise funds to
secure additional pictures for school
rooms. The public is invited to view
the pictures. There will be small
charge for admission. The place for
showing the pictures is yet to be Sc
cured and will be announced later.

OIL WORK rs NOT
STOPPED BY WEATHER

Reports of activities at the Dry
Greek oil field are to the effect that
the drillers have passed the broken
drills in the well and now are six
feet below them In a few days
Shooters will appear and the we'll
will be blown with nitro-glycerine.
This would indicate that expectations
of having a gusher are rife with the
drillers.
The pipe line which is to be laid to
East Bridger from the field has been
held up on account of the weather,
but this work will be started shortly
and if trenching cannot be done, the
line will be laid on top Of the ground.
As it is an eight-inch line, this would
be temporary as it would be buried
in the spring.
The work in the Franne field is
going ahead despite h e wintry
weather and three rigs are working.
The we'll on sectign %, quarter of
la mile from the discovery we'll is now
down 1900 feet. Water was discov-
cred in the first or discovery we'll at
a depth of 1900 feet, but in this we'll
none has been encountered so far.
The logging structurally is 80 feet
higher in this well than in the first
one, and this indicates that the struc-
ture is running in north easterly
direction into Montana.
The we'll being drilled on section
25 is now down about 100 feet and
the R. & R. well is down 1850 feet.
The discovery well, which is a
steady producer, and which was drill
ed by Ed. Rosenberg. is now owned
by the Midwest. A deal was con
sumated Jan. 25 of this year whereby
they secured the land and well. Ros

LATE COUNTY MAN
ON HONOR ROLL

Among the names of six men Sc
lected from counties in northeastern
Minnesota by the Council of Agricul-
ture, Duluth Chamber of Commerce,
is that of the late L. C. Petersen of
AskOv. These men were chosen for
the honor because of their outstand-
ing service to agriculture and since
l.. c. Petersen recently passed away,
it was decided that his picture, along
with the others, should be placed in
the institute hall of the Northeast Ex-
pertinent station in memory to the
work he did for agriculture in Pine
county.
The others on the honor roll are
Carl Johnson of Culver, Henry Web
beking of Carlton, William Carlson
of Gheen. Conrad Johnson of Meadow

RECLAIM HONOR
GIVEN TO PINE
Partridge Township Wins
Beautiful Engineering
Department Trophy for
Clearing Most Land in
Past Five Years.

At the final session of the institute
pertinent station of Duluth, trophies
were presented by the various con-
Germs and institutions interested in
the development of agriculture in
northeastern Minnesota. Partridge
township was, awarded the beautiful
silver trophy given by the Engineer
ing department of the University
Farm for having cleared and put I'M
der cultivation more acres than any
other township in northeastern Mime
sofa during the past five years. 1t is
interesting to note that Pine county
leads in land reclamation work for
northeastern Minnesota. This, &C
cording to w. F. Hammargren, no
doubt was stimulated by the active
cooperation of the bankers, giving
such splendid cooperation to the
County Extension department in put
ting out war explosives. Partridge
township is to be complimented on
this splendid record which they have
made during the past few years. Carl
Madsen, president of the Partridge
Farm Bureau unit, was present and
accepted the cup for his unit Mr..
Madsen and County Agent Hammar-
gren also attended the luncheon at

exercises at the Northeast Experiment

inexhaustable reservoir of facts and
opinions which made him an interest
ing extempOraneous speaker. His re-
marks on these occasions when print
ed provide interesting reading. Yet,
the fact is that Mr. Hoover's voice is
inadequate for larger assemblies as
it is low-pitched and cannot be heard
beyond small radius without the
use of amplifiers. AS one of the Hoov-
err campaign leaders remarked in a
private conversation with the writer,
1.-The chief can thank his lucky stars
for the radio and developments of
acoustics, as they were of priceless
value in putting him across to the
public" 1t is noteworthy that Hoover
has been regarded as thinker more
than a talker, in that he has been
more widely quoted in recent years
than all the famous political orators.
There are organized groups in bust
ness and agriculture which now admit
that the President has definitely pune
tured many prediction bubbles. In
other words. Mr.. Hoover is not per-
forming along the lines that many of
his supporters anticipated. He has
for instance turned a cold shoulder
to propositions which would in effect
liberalize the antitrust laws. The
oil producers hoped to have his SYM
