MORE FEATURES SECURED
FOR BRIDGE DAY GEL
EBRATiON

Chairman Rathert is feeling
happy over the excellent progress
made with plans for Bridge Day,
July 8. 1t is probable that Cover
nor Erickson will be able to be
here and take his place on the
speaking program. Senator t. J.
Walsh has not given a definite
answer but it seems likely that
he will be here. Congressman
Leavitt, o. S. Warden, chairman
of the State Highway commission,
A. c. Stewart, minister Of high
ways for Saskatchewan, F. G..
Dorety, representing the Great
Northern railway, and at least
two representatives Of the Fed
eral Bureau of roads, have all
signified their intention of being
here.
Five bands have been secured
for the day-the Terry Cowbay
band, the Browning Indian band,
and bands from Hinsdale, Scobey
and Wolf Point school.
A splendid display of Day
fireworks, lasting nearly
an hour will be something novel
and worth coming far to see.
The speakers stand will be con-
nected with KICK and the pro-
90 far as can he will he
broadcasted.

stretching of the railroad from
its ending at Wolf Point.
There were at that time no
buildings on the present site Of
the city. A mile away al Indian

means of crossing the Missouri

situated about a mile from the
site of the present city.
About four miles EAST was Crow

the Assiniboines and Sioux, and
there they returned with their

THREE CLUBS in l8-H0LE MATCH;
WOLVES WIN, SCOBEY RANKS End

Fifty-two golfers, playing in Is
foursomes, were spread over the
Wolf Point course last Sunday
when a tri-city match was played
with the Scobey, PlentyWood and
Wolf Point clubs represented.
There were II players from SEQ
hey and nine from Plentywood
playing with 26 wolf Pointers.
Other players, both men and wo-
men, were also on the grounds
and at least go players occupied
the course at the same time.
Excepting for about an hour Of
disagreeable wind, the day was
fine for golf. The result was de-
by comparing the lowest
eight scores from each club. AS
the scores printed below show,
there were some very good cards
turned in and there were some
that did not find a place among
the best eight that were not so
good.
Bowler Wins Honors
Burnley Bowler made the best
score for the Is holes among all
the visitors, an Sc, which, con
sidering the wind and the course,
is very good. w. Peterson of SEQ
hey was second among the Wis
and B. Nelson of Plenty
wood third. j. R. Burgess of Wolf
Point was the medalist of the
day with n. George Flint and Ed
win Erickson tied at IS for the
second best scores. AS the totals
show, Wolf Point was a rather
decisive winner over both the wis.,
ting teams.

Poplar on business Thursday.
They crossed by way of the Mis-

they travelled about forty miles,
they say that it did not cost
them any more to roll along over
good roads for that distance, than
it would have cost had they gone

OBJ. HORSFORD CAR
OFF HIGHWAY
DAMAGE SUIT STARTED ON
OWNER OF CAR THAT
STRUCK HIM

While coming to town last Sat
urday evening o. B. Horsford of
the S~outhside had the misfortune
to be in an automobile accident
about half a mile north of the
new Missouri bridge. His car
turned over into the ditch and
was badly damaged. He himself
sustained a sprained neck, several
cuts and bruises. Mrs. Horsford
was also considerably bruised. w.
S. Good and Edward Behlinger,
who were riding with them we're
not seriously hurt.
The accident happened about
six o'clock. MI. Horsford was driv-
ing about fifteen miles an hour
when another car came up be-
hind him driving considerably
faster and honked to pass. MI.
Horsford pulled out close to the
edge of the grade. The other car,
a Dodge roadster, passed, but in
doing so its right hind fender
caught the left front hub cap OF
the Horsford car, causing the lat
ter to tip over and go in the ditch.
The Dodge roadster was driven by
James Kirkendahl, rs, a bridge
employee, and he had four other
men with him, three of whom
were sitting in the seat with him.
The Horsfords came to town
and their injuries we're given med
ical attention. 1t is understood
that Kirkendahl refuses to pay
any damages, and as a result OF
his attitude Horsford Monday
started suit against him in JUS
tice court for $262.20 damages.

STRONG FLOW 0FGASAND WATER
STRUCK i FIRST WOLF PIT. WELL

Early Monday corning h drill
penetrated the Ihick sandstone
cap rock and ~re,ased a gas flow
at 1865 feet in the hole sunk in
the Wolf Poini dome. A strong
vein of water had been encount-
cred before tie sandstone was
reached and Fater had been ris-
ing in the iole. When the gas
sand was rached the gas lent
its force to the water and both
were soon flowing over the top.
The outIetwas reduced to a small
pipe and the flow carried out to
the dunn basin.
A few hours later the gas vas
lighted and burned with a strong,
continuous flame. TIE water flow
has remained steady and the gas
has increased in volume. Appar-
antly the stream of water is
burning fiercely when the gas is
lighted, presenting a strange sight
that has drawn hundreds Of peo-
pie. The driller lets the gas burn
during the evenings and then
snuffs it out. The well is within
the city limits on the southside
near Fifth street which is the
main road to Oldtown.
Skilled Man In Charge
Floyd Anderson is in charge of
the well with three of his sons
and Harry Love as his crew.
Anderson is an experienced drill
Ter who worked in the oil and
gas fields Of Kansas and Okla
homa for many years before com
ing to Montana Work on the well
has been stopped until a supply
of smaller pipe and certain spe-
cia1 equipment arrive. Mr.. Ander-
son says the well presents a nice
problem. He intends to proceed
carefully and try to solve it. The
job is to shut off the water so
that dry gas can be had. He says
he believes there is a good sup
ply of gas and that a deeper hole
will greatly increase the pressure.
The field man, Curley Meeks,
will be here later to aid in hand
ling the problem. Mr.. Anderson
has handled some tough holes
and has confidence he can make
a well of this one. The rig has
been skillfully handled and things
have run smoothly and without
accidents.
One thing that has been reveal
ed is the presence under this
of a strong vein of water
that may be an artesian flow.
The water tastes much like the
.rtesian water found in North
Dakota with a decided soda fla
vor. 1t is as soft as rain water
and is warm compared to ordin-
airy well or city water. 1t is said
to be excellent for stock in the
