INDIANS STAGE
A LITTLE WAR
AT WOLF POINT
Highway Approach To Wolf
Point Bridge Stirs Up
Aboriginal Ire

Wolf Point, June 4.-~Seven re-
servation Indians were brought to
the county Jail by Sheriff John
Anderson Tuesday morning when
they interfered with the crew Of the
Lalonde Construction company
working on the federal highway con-
Meeting the Wolf Point bridge over
the Missouri with the Roosevelt
highway. Agency Superintendent
Eggers and an attorney employed by
the Indians were sent for and an
armistice of two days was agreed to
while the attorney goes to Helena to
argue with the highway authorities.
Several weeks ago citizens of Pop
lar and reservation Indians entered a
protest against the route surveyed
for the connecting highway. An at
torney representing Poplar went to
Washington to confer with federal
authorities. The protest was unavail-
ing and the route proposed by the
state commission was approved by
the federal engineers. The Lalonde
company, which was awarded the
contract last November was given
authority again to begin work.
On May 81 they attempted to dc
so but were met on the right of way
by protesting Indians. The sheriff
was notified to be present early
Tuesday morning when another
attempt to proceed was made by the
contractor. The Indians lined up ir
front of the crew and were ordered
to disperse by Sheriff Anderson
They flatly refused and the sheriff
arrested them at the point of his
gun. Statements were made that
the Indians were armed but William
Powers, in charge of the work crew
and the sheriff say they saw no guns
An indication Of the temper Of the
Indians is shown by their actions at
the agency in Poplar Saturday when
q crowd of them went to Superin-
tendent Eggers' office to heckls
him concerning the road route which
it is claimed, had been ollayed by
Eggers. superintendent locked up
his office and went to his home, fol
lowed by the Indians. The Indian men
did not enter the house but sent in
some Indian women who pulled and
tore Eggers' clothes until Special Po-
liceman Greene came to the house
drew his gun and drove the squaws
and braves away. The Indians
brought in by Sheriff Anderson Tues
Gay morning were Henry Blacktail
and his wife and son Joshua, George
Long, Leonard Adams and John
Takes Plenty.

Wheat Prices Affected
By Pending Legislation

Chicago, June 5,-Despite an
nouncement from Washington that
senate and house conferees had fl
nally agreed on all details of farm
relief measure, eliminating the de-
benture plan, wheat prices averaged
lower today. The Washington news
helped to bring about transient
rallies in prices, but apparently had
been discounted in advance and up
turns met with aggressive selling.
At times, the market showed breaks
Of more than cents a bushel, large
ly on account Of unresponsiveness
which the European market dis
played concerning advances here.
Wheat closed nervous, / 5-8 to 3
l-8 cents net lower, corn ! 3-8 to
2 5-S cents down, oats 5-8 to / Ia
cents off and provisions varying
from 2 cents decline to rise of
10 cents.

COUNTY PRINTING
GIVEN TO MEDICINE
LAKE PUBLICATION
1t Was Joe Dolin's Turn, Ac-
cording To Commissioner
Frank French

The Medicine Lake Wave has been
named official paper of Sheridan
County for the next two year period,
the contract having been let at the
monthly meeting of the County Com
missioners last Monday afternoon.
The usual custom Of calling for
bids and considering the merits of
those submitted, was dispensed with
in letting the contract in this case
The bid Of the Medicine Lake paper
being the only opened, it being
presented by the chairman of the
board, Frank French, with the mo-
tion that it be accepted. The motion
was seconded by Commissioner Ed
Iverson and carried.
The Herald had presented no
bid, having been assured by two of
the commissioners that the county
printing would not be considered un-
til the next monthly meeting and
the action by the board came as a
complete surprise.
Commissioner French, when asked
by the Herald reporter why the
Herald was not given an opportunity
to present bid stated bluntly that
it was Joe Dolin's turn.
The commissioners acted within
their full rights as far as the statutes
governing county printing are con-
cerned as the newly revised law does
not require the calling for bids or
acceptance of contracts according
to their merit.
The Herald remains the official
newspaper of the county until the
first of July. 1t is understood that
the contract submitted by Editor
Dolin has been patterned to large
extent after the Herald contract now
in force. Should this be the case, the
public should be we'll served for in
the two years the Herald has served
the county there has not been a
single complaint Of excessive
charging.

Local Building Program
Is N0D Well Under W1U

With the building season just
barely begun, Plentywood's growth
and improvement for 1929 is already
very apparent.
The new Peterson garage and
Chevrolet Sales and Service station
is almost completed as far as the
superstructure is concerned and it is
very apparent that it will be one Of
the finest buildings of its kind when
completed.
Pete Ecklestad has just moved in
to his new shoe repair building, a
concrete structure, far more substan-
tial and attractive than the average
building used to house shoe repair
shops.

HAVRE u. COURSES ANNOUNCED
Herald Editor
Has NeU Bus
Legion Dance Saturday Night
Drew A Record
Attendance

The editor Of the Herald is sport
ing brand new Chevrolet coupe. Not
only that but for the past week he
has been more than usually in the
local limelight and subject to a daily
avalanch Of wisecracks about his
lucky streak, for it was he who won
the car given away at the Legion
Dance at the Farmer Labor Temple
last Saturday night.
The Legion dance was a splendid
success, there being more than 1900
tickets sold which netted the local
post very satisfactory sum in their
exchequer with which to carry on
their activities.
The project now commanding their
attention is the junior baseball mines
which are making good headway in
development and which will be
matched with similarly sponsored
teams Of the country in the near
future. The boys are under the tuti-
lage of Prof G. B. Mcmillan.
The winner Of the car was called up
The winner Of the car was called
upon to exercise the judgment Of
Paris in selecting one of the four
cars Offered. In order to be as impair
tial as possible he took the names of
the four cars, shook them up in a
churn, was hoodwinked and selected
his choice which turned out to be a
Chevrolet.
The affair was attended by the
largest crowd attending a dance in
the Temple. Music was furnished by
the White Orchestra and really was,
as advertised, the biggest event Of
the season.

SPEEDY FARM RELIEF in PROSPECT
REVOLVING FUND
FOR HOLDING UP
GRAIN VALUESOKD

Washington, June Am admin
istration plan was revealed Tuesday
whereby $200000,000 of the $780,,
100000 revolving fund of the farm
relief bill would be made available
as soon as the measure is finally ap-
proved for holding wheat and thus
bolstering the tagging price.
President Hoover has approved
this plan. He has been worried con-
siderably by the decline in the mar
kct. Wheat went Saturday to 81
cents as compared with last years
average of S1.47. and corn, rye, bar
ley. oats and cotton were off com
mensurately. The market has rallied
after reports of the administration
plan to aid the situation.
The plan would be carried out by
introduction of resolution in the
house appropriating the 100000, 900.
One administration leader said he
personally favored making the entire
$500000,000 Immediately available,
as it would have a beneficial effect
on the market, but he did not antici-
pate this would be done.
Night Session
With this concrete plan Of farm re-
lief DEVISED conferees on the measure
went into night session Tuesday
night to hasten an agreement which
will place the bill in the hands of
President Hoover for his signature
as soon as possible Differences have
been narrowed down to two issues,
the sterilization corporation and the
controversial debenture plan, which
President Hoover opposes and which
house conferences insist be stricken
from the measure.
An agreement is expected before
the end Of the week.
Meanwhile, governmental experts
in touch with the situation said that
only concerted acion on the part OF
the farmers of the country in holding
their winter wheat for better market
conditions such as the administration
plan will provide, can prevent another
serious drop in the wheat price when
the new crop is harvested.
Farmer Cautioned
The farmer was cautioned, against
holding all of his crop on the pros
pect of an improved market, and ad-
vised instead to 'feed" his supply
gradually into the elevators. 1t was
made clear that this would not be a
panacea for the present delicate stu
alton, but should "help."
Despite an estimated increase Of
100000 in world acreage of wheat
and generally favorable weather re
ports, statisticians of the bureau Of
agricultural economics point out that
the law Of averages is operating this
year against a greatly increased
world yield.
The impossible was realized last
year when uniformly successful crops
were harvested in virtually every
producing nation, and it is extremely
unlikely, they hold, that this same
condition should prevail a second
year in succession.
Trade Suffers
Bureau economists share the opin-
ion that to date it has been the wheat
trader rather than the wheat farmer
who has suffered from the price de-
cline, the majority of the bumper
crop having been Immediately mar
keted by the growers.
They declare, on the other hand,
that the reverse will be true of the
new crop, for the traders, already
overstocked and smarting under re-
cent losses, will not purchase new
wheat except at advantageous prices.
