MISSOURI RIVER OPEN:
FERRY in SERVICE SOON

The extra thick ice In the Mis-
souri, river broke up and began
to move about 4 o'clock last Sun
day morning, March 80. Soon az
terward a gorge began to form
a short distance below the bridge
being built Just below Wolf Point.
This made the water raise rap
Idly. The construction village
built on the low ground at the
bridge site was soon flooded and
the Inhabitants had to move to
higher ground.
The ice continued to pack and
back up until it had almost reach
ed the ferry landing south OK
town. The gorge was apparently
not water tight and the water
did not rise to near the point
reached many other years.
At noon Thursday the ice be-
gan to move at the bridge and
the river is now nearly clear, ex-
cepting for shore ice, at most
from here to the Dakota
1t is expected that the pow
er ferry, White City will be in
the river soon, possibly by Sat
1rday.

Chris Sand Country Member
Chris Sand and G. H. Flint are present mem
bers OF the school board and are thoroughly famil-
lar with the problems always confronting the Off
Gals, teachers and patrons of the district.
Mr.. Sand is the representative of the rural Sec
ton of District 45. He has been an efficient and
faithful public servant and we'll deserves reelection
as an evidence of appreciation. He has an intelli-
gent grasp of the business of the district and can
be OF far greater value than any new man who is
g stranger to the work that falls on the board.
No large business concern finds it wise to dis
rupt its organization and displace experienced Off
Gals and put IN new ones every year if it can be
avoided. The public schools are the largest enter
prise of the community.
The rural schools of the district are maintained
at the highest standard possible. and are the best
they have ever been. The teachers are normal
school trained and have the benefit of careful SUI
pervision. Nine months school is provided, but this
