mr.. AND mrs. CAMPBELL
VISIT FRIENDS HERE

Mr.. and Mrs. Perry Campbell
spent last Friday and Saturday in
Wolf Point renewing acquaint-
anship and visiting their many
friends. They resided here seven
or eight years and moved to
Washington in 1920. Mr.. Campbell
was in partnership with John F.
Cook in the Globe Shoe and Cloth
ing company. In Washington he
first engaged in fruit %ranching
and is now writing life insurance.
They reside at Manson on the
Columbia river, north of Wenat-
chez and like the climate and
country very well.
Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell were
enroute home after attending the
national convention of the Bank
ers Life Insurance company at
Des Moines. They were genuinely
surprised at the progress and
changes they found here. They
were guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cook while here and were enter
tanned at the Peter LEM home
also.

no such spectacles in this divert

w. l.. Young Talks
On Highway Topics

The Montana Automobile asso-
citation is looked upon as one of
statewide associations, giving real
assistance to Montana along two
lines. It is particularly helpful to
the state as a whole. First, in our
capacity in acting as fiscal agent
for the state, in creating the fund
through legislative activities, for
increased road building purposes.
And, secondly, in service rendered
all the motorists as a whole and
our part in creating public inter-
est outside the state to influence
the motor tourist to travel and
spend his dollars in Montana. With
u service goes Good WIZ.
While Good viii" is difficult to
define, vet in my opinion it has
come about through the efficient
service given the state through
all our various activities. It seems
that we not only have our own
members to serve, but also play

FOUND, WRECKED
NOTED PILOTS BODY MISSING
FATHER PASSES THROUGH
ON WAY NORTH

Wreckage of Carl Ben Eielson's
monoplane has been found ninety
miles east of North Cape, Siberia.
It is believed that both the avi-
ator and his mechanic Carl Bor-
land lost their lives and that
their bodies lie burisd deep in
the snow somewhere near the
wreckage, though digging for sew
eral days has failed to reveal
them. First news of the fate of
the plane was received by the
Grand Forks early last Saturday
morning, in a dispatch sent by
Marion Swenson, 17-year old Sc
attic girl on board her fathers
icebound ship the Nanuk.
Later Joe Crosson, bosom friend
of Eielson and Arctic pilot, who
has been leading the search for
the lost flier, wired Ole Eielson,
the aviator's father at Hatton, N.
OAK, as follows:

Although the father had been pre-
pared for such a message he was
none the less dazed and shocked
when it came.
Flags were at half mast at
Hatton, the aviator's home town,
when news of his probable fate
was circulated.

State Banks File
Recovery S u s

The First State Bank of Froid
has filed suit in district court to
recover taxes paid Roosevelt
county under protest. 1t is said
that many state banks in the
state are preparing to bring sim
liar suits as test cases. The legal
issue turns on the Classification
Of state bank stock for assess
ment purposes. The matter has
been brewing some time. Attorney
Woody, a tax expert of Helena
is attorney for the Froid bank.
County Attorney Foor will appear
for the county.

en- out the tangled condition of
delinquent taxes, had been of
great benefit and satisfaction.
During his talk the Mayor said
he appreciated the opportunity
for advertising but was not talk
ing for that purpose since he was
not a candidate for reelection.
He said the bonded indebted
ness was now 100000. At n
time it was 500, 900.
The street and alley fund has
a balance of about $4,000; the
general fund $4,000; park fund
1885; library 1888. The police
and fire fund is in the red 1882
and has had a balance on the
wrong side for a good many
years.
The water operating fund has
$4,000. Enough to put in another
well like the present one. But an
other is not yet needed as the
present well is holding UP won
derfully, even through the pro-
longed drouth. The water depart
ment, said the Mayor, is yielding
a profit of about S115 per month,
although water rates were much
reduced last year. The city is
selling more water than ever be-
fore. He said he was giving this
financial information because it
would be useful if the property
owners should give serious con
s"ideration to street improvements
this year.
The Mayor strongly urged &C.
ton by the club asking the city
council to do away with the per
meeting allowance for councilmen.
He said it was one means of saw
ing the city's funds. The council
men receive So and the mayor
S. per meeting but even at those
reasonable rates the item has cost
the city over $4,000 during the
past II years. He made the point
that members of the school board
and officials and committees of
the Commercial club, all Of whom
give as much or more time and
effort for the benefit of the com
munity as the councilmen, receive
no pay.

Program, Business And Features
AS the crowd gathered at the
Sherman it was greeted by the
CHEEKY strains of concert selec-
tions by Charlie Simon's school
band playing in the lobby. This
band is something for the com
munity to be proud of and the
applause reflected that pride.
Following the concert a skit
termed "The Weekly Banner" was
put on by students in Miss Hop
woods 18th grade. In this two
ladies" and a gentleman" hold
a breezy discussion over the last
number of their local newspaper.
1t was well done and amusing.
Called To Order
The meeting proper was called
to order by President Young who
spoke briefly OF the purpose Of
the gathering.
Secretary Gordon read the min
utes OF the last annual meeting
and they were approved. The sec
rotary contributed with a review

KICK
e. e. Krebsbach read his his
tory of station KICK and it's
predecessors, the Voice of Cow

and amusing and broadcasted a
lot of laughter. 1t was, however,
too "technical"in places to be
suitable for publication. Coming
down to the present result of
those early desperate struggles,
Mr.. Krebsbach, who is manager
and announcer of KICK, describ-
ed the equipment and gave a hint
OF the work and expense entailed

With a full measure of the ambition, confidence
and unity, that is the Spirit of Wolf Point, evident, the
seventeenth annual Commercial club and community
get-to-gether was held at the Sherman hotel Wednes-
day night. The attendance was large and represen-
%tative, the number of women almost equalling the
mon. The review of the past year and the outline
presented during the evening, left no doubt of the
value of organization and leadership as means to
and growth. It was the feeling that 1880
be as busy as any of the preceding years in
the history of the club and the town and that only
through wfholehearted team work can the o%pportun-
Of the year be fully improved.
