Both Of the big political clubs Of
Washington, the Women's National
Democratic Club and the Women's Re-
publican Club, are making last brill
liant fling for this season. To be sure
both clubs. will continue their open
house system all during the year, but
the large and important luncheon given
yesterday by the Republican women,
with Mrs. Gam as the ranking guest,
and the love feast given at the Demo-
cratic Club earlier in the week, with
Representative Ruth Bryan Owen as
honor guest, were most imposing in size
and quality of entertainment. Being
political the guests Of both clubs are
often a little without the pale Of the
smart set and the conversation at the
dinners and luncheons, partaking of
politics and big world affairs, are by
far the most interesting gathering held
in the Capital.
Another party without the pale of the
smart set was the luncheon which Mrs.
Eleanor Patterson gave in her Dupont
Circle home in honor of the Women's
National Press Club. Mrs Patterson,
who is the cleverest of newspaper re-
porters, as her recent trip to California
proved, is a member of the Press Club,
and while her million-a-year income
exceeds that of the ordinary reporter, or
even the owners Of the average paper,
she is very near to the heart of every
woman who writes. The real bang of
her luncheon was when a hush came
over the company in the stately dining
room and bird notes were heard coming
closer and closer until picturesque
Cuban boy. pushing a flower cart, came
right into the room. Flowers and birds
notes are akin and as the boy wheeled
his flower -ladened cart in and out be-
tween the tables and left bouquet for
each guest, he warbled in imitation OF
almost every bird indigenous to this
country. SO fresh are his flowers and
so sweet his bird notes that the rich
folk in that vicinity fairly swamp him
with orders, but Mrs Patterson is his
patron-saint and has made him famous.

Lent fails to dim the social light of
Washington society to any appreciate
extent and dinner parties and other en-
tertainments in the diplomatic corps
and oficial society are quite as large
and as brilliant as were such events
In Midwinter. While cabinet dinners
for the President and Mrs. Hoover
have been discontinued until after
Lent, the First Lady of the Land has
been the guest Of cabinet women on
several occasions.
However, the ruthless hand Of politics
has disrupted many large official dinner
parties. the closing days of Congress

Recreation
Outdoor diversions in and
around Wolf Point are a natural
part of daily life for citizen and
visitor. An attractive outdoors
offers every opportunity for play
and recreation. There is golf,
of course, with natural sporty
features that are fascinating.
Tennis, on a municipal court. a
feature emphasizing the attrac-
tiveness of the city parks.
And there is baseball. Why
does the average man like base
ball? That is easy, we like base
ball because it enables us to give
expression to the pent-up boyish-
ness that springs eternal in every
normal man. We a go to a
baseball game and be a boy again.
We can holler all we want to and
eat peanuts and drink soda-water.
Orders And Clubs
Lodges, orders and clubs -four
ish in Wolf Point. At the head,
as a community builder, is the
Lions international. Others are
knights Of Columbus, Masons,
Commercial Club Women's FEEDER
ated Club, All clubs, ETC., with
the Ancient and Honorable Order
of Horse Shoe Throwers bringing
up the rear. AS In every Ameri-
can city Of the better class, or
CARNATIONS such as the Boy
Scouts and Camp Fire Girls are
active. The municipal ice hockey
pond and skating rink is immense
ly popular.
Plans for a community swim
ming pool, to cost many thousands
of dollars, are under way, with a
considerable sum already in the
treasury. This pool will be com
pleted in 1882.
So try out a visit to Wolf Point.
Come for the fun of it. For the
motoring hunting, camping and
golfing you can enjoy. And while
here, investigate the golden oppor-
tunities open to people with

Another favorite picnic place is
Wolf Creek, adjacent to the city
on the west.
Annual Stampede
During the month of July for
many consecutive years, the bust
nessmen of Wolf Point have stag
ed what is known as the Wolf
Point Stampede. This stampede
ranks with the best shows of it's
kind in the United States and is
the direct %outgrowth of life in the
great open spaces and of life as it
was lived in the frontier big
ranching days.
There are some 1900 Assinnf-
boine and Sioux Indians on the
reservation surrounding Wolf
Point and other towns. Here you
can see young Indians CARRIED in
the white mans way; old men in
moccasins and braided hair, old
warriors at councils or dances in
the paint and feathers of bygone
days. The Richland County Fair
and the Wolf Point Stampede are
the two outstanding celebrations
in northeastern Montana.
While the Stampede is on, the
Indians are out in force. Get
your Gamer out and use it, Is a
good motto for the tourist at such
times. The chief charm of a holi-
day is that it happens to you your
self. And there is n way to
preserve the sights you see for all
time and that is by the use of your
camera
Hostelries
The Wolf Point Tourist camp is
one Of the best in the state. 1t
has large kitchens, clean cabins,
showers and laundry. 1t is not a
community camp and has the ad-
vantages of a private residence.
Rates are very moderate. After a
journey on the road a stay at this
camp is always appreciated.
The Sherman hotel is known
favorably everywhere. Modern in
every respect, the traveller who is
a guest there Is fortunate. Through

from 1914, when the land on the
reservation was opened for settle
ment. Then it was scarcely more
than a trading post and COW camp.
The present population exceeds
1900.
1t is a city of ideal homes and
the water supply is abundant and
pure. The water is derived from
two wells at the water department
plant and is practically unlimited
in quantity, affording good fire
protection.
Strategic Location

The Hansen Flour Mill, the
home of Woltana flour, located in
Wolf Point, has a so barrel capac-

Facts of Interest Concerning Its
Past History and Present

prepared by Charles Gordon,
Commercial Club secretary. The
Club plans to put this and other
information about the city in
pamphlet form as method of an
swering inquiries.)
Wolf Point got it's name in 1868,
or earlier. The story was told a
few years ago by William Bent, a
nephew of Kit Carson, who put in
that fall and winter hunting
wolves through this section. From
1866 to 1868 he was a member of
a prospecting expedition which
went into the Little Rockies in
search of gold. Colors were found
but the find was not commercial.
The creeks froze up and the ex-
petition had to be abandoned.
Bent said that Wolf Point got
its name from the fact that one
winter the wolfers killed such a
large number Of wolves that they
froze before the skins could be re
moved. The frozen %carcasses were
piled up to await the coming of
spring and the pile was so high
that it became a landmark for all
the country around. Always after
that the hunters called the place
Wolf Point. The exact spot is
supposed to be about two miles
southwest of the present site of
the town.
Lewis and Clark In18o5
On Monday, April 20, 1906, the
Lewis and Clark expedition up the
Missouri river from st. Louis
reached the place now called Wolf
Point. In their diary they write:
I'VE proceeded early with a
moderate wind. Captain Lewis,
who was on shore with one hunt
er, met two white bears. OF the
strength and ferocity Of this ami
NAL the Indians have given us
dreadful accounts. They never at
tack these bears but in parties of
six or eight persons, and even
then are often defeated with the
loss Of one or more of the party.
Captain Lewis and the hunter fir
ed and each wounded a bear; one
of them made his escape, the 9TH
err turned upon Captain Lewis and
pursued him seventy or eighty
yards, but being badly wounded,
it could not run so fast as to pre-
vent the Captain from %reloading
his piece, which he again aimed at
him and a third shot brought him
to the ground; it was a male, not
full grown and weighed 800 lbs;
the legs are somewhat longer
than those of the black bear and
the talons and tusks much larger
and longer. We 7 surrounded
with deer, elk and buffalo, ante
