INDIANS TO RECEIVE
PAYMENT in FEBRUARY
Poplar Standard)

Washington dispatches state
that the Indian bureau is releasing
ST. 97, 900 from tribal funds for the
relief of $4,000 Indians in eight
states. Payments will range from
$3.50 to $500 per capita.
AS a second step to aid the In
dians, many of whom are reported
by the officials to be in dire need,
the bureau will attempt to secure
q share of the 100000 emer-
gency seed loan.
The Washington item states the
Fort Peck Indians may receive a
total of s125,0O0. However, Supt.
Mccullough advises that there is
only about 100000 remaining in
the tribal fund of this reservation.
and that he does not expect the
per capita payment to exceed $25.
II Is expected that this will be
made sometime in the next month,
but no official assurance Of this
has been made.

LEO STENNES FIRST

LARGE NUMBER OF WORD
LISTS ENTERED BY THE
YOUNG PEOPLE

The Fad Clothiers' word making
contest which ended Monday has
proved popular with young peo-
! pie over a wide range of territory
and brought in ar unusual numb r
| of entries. Leo Stennes of Wolf
Point won first prize. He made
more than 1900 words out of the
! letters in Fad Clothiers. Wilbur
Erickson, a country student, plac-
ed second with over 400 words.
while Marie Hanks of the South
side won third and Florence Poole
of Waska fourth. Other prize
winners are mentioned in the
Fad's advertisement in another
column.
o. G. Johnson, proprietor of the
Fad, says that he is more than
pleased with the interest shown
and the response to his advertise
ment a few weeks ago announcing
the contest. The judges had a diff
ficult task to check the lists sent
in with a view of eliminating the
words in which letters not found
in Fad Clothiers were used. When
the checking was completed it was
found that fifteen lists had more
than a thousand words each. while
the list that won first prize had
over 1900 words.

fire DESTROYS
SCHAFER'S BARN

The big barn at the rear of Fred
Schafer's residence on Dawson
street just east of Third avenue,
was destroyed by fire that was dis
covered about $3.50 Saturday morn
ing. Rev. Tollefson turned in the
alarm when he was awakened by
the fire which was already blazing
high through the roof. The build
ing seemed doomed already. The
fine large Lutheran church was
well within the danger zone, the
parsonage still closer to the burn
ing building and the parsonage gar
age only about 20 feet away.
These buildings all r of frame
construction and if the wind had
been in the east or northeast it is
doubtful if they could have been
saved. The barn contained con-
siderable hay and made a fast high
blaze while it lasted. A gentle
breeze carried the sparks to the
east. A higher wind would have
endangered c. E. Howe's carpen-
ter shop across the alley, northeast
of the barn.
The firemen strung hose from
the hydrant at the east side of
the block but found it frozen. A
change to the hydrant In the block
to the west caused delay. Rev.
Tollefson saved his garage by
keeping it wet with a garden hose
until the fremen could get water.
He was aided by members of his
congregation.
Besides hay the barn contained
some tools and hides. The cause
of the fire is not known. Work
men repairing a leak in a water
pipe had dug a ditch into the main
part preventing Mr.. Schafer from
putting his a and butchers truck
as he was his habit, other
he would probably have lost
them too. The property was in
for $1,000.

Helena, Mont.
Dear Mr.. Beaumont:
The School Board held a meet
ing last evening and discussed
your Bulletin. They feel that il
will be a most difficult task to
remedy the damage done to our
school, community and city as a
result Of your publication of Jan
uary, 1881. Axe grinders have
taken your Bulletin and are now
busy ~broadcasting it. People will
more than likely use it to discred-
it our town and Board members.
Board members have already been
severely criticized as a result of
your publication. All of these
things hurt and the damage is diff
ficult to remedy.
However, you are showing the
proper spirit and we know that
you want to do whatever is right.
We suggest that you try the plan
you mentioned, i. G. prepare a new
chart in place of the n on Page

to be published in the Wolf Point
Herald, Poplar Standard, gilbert

and Froid paper. In addition you
should mail a copy to each taxpay-
II in eastern Valley county, nor
thern McCone county and all of
Roosevelt county who received
your 1881 January Bulletin.
Your Bulletin was especially
hurtful as it tended to make us
out liars. We have been especial

been making. We have been cut

EVERYBODY GOING
TO ANNUAL BALL

Friday evening of next week is
the time of the 18th annual ball
of the Wolf Point fire department.
Plans and arrangements for one
of the biggest and best dances
ever held by the department are
being made, and the usual liberal
purchase of tickets is anticipated.
Our good record in the matter of
fire losses is proof that no part
Of Il municipal organization pays
pays better returns on the invest
nent than the Volunteer Fire de-
partment.
To successfully fight fire and
protect property requires equip
ment. The net returns from the
annual dances, held on or near
Lincoln's birthday, are used to
purchase supplementary equip
ment that the funds of the City
are unable to cover The fire siren
was bought with money from
this source.
A belief exists with some people
that the money made at the an
nual balls is divided among the
members of the department. This
is entirely wrong. Not a dollar
of this money goes to the firemen.
The City pays 81 each to the mem
bers who attend a fire and that
does not pay for the damage to
their clothing. The firemen are
well organized, faithful and vigil
liant, they stick together and work
in harmony for the interest of ev-
cry property owner. Appreciation
and liberal cooperation should be
accorded them.

Helena, Feb. 4. -(UP)- Mon
tanaPs 22nd Legislature reached
the halfway mark this week and
churned on toward the deadline
after which no new measures may
be offered.
Floor Leader w. B. Leavitt of
Custer county, has urged those i'll
tending to sponsor bills to bring
them forward at once in order
that the legislature may have time
to act upon them. More than 213
bills had been introduced when
the fifth weeks sessions opened
Monday.
The most heated session of the
legislature thus far made it's ap-
pearance last week when the Gar
Der bin ives defeated in the senate.
Though the chancellor of the
greater university still has a job
as the result, his legislative troub-
les / not over, and another heat
cd session, this time in the house,
was anticipated when the Shannon
from SO, 900 to $500 a year is
brought before the house for de-
bate.
Monday afternoon the house was
fairly up with its calendar but a
full week was ahead, as %appropri-
alton bills, committee reports and
much controversial matter was on
the docket.
The senate Monday took action
on five minor measures which
were up for third reading, while
seven other matters were before
the committee of the whole. Six
teen of the crime commission
bills, now pending in the judiciary
committee, were expected to be
placed on general file for consider
alton of the committee of the whole
this week.
Aside from these, the senate TX
pected committee reports on 81
other house bills already referred
to committees. The most important
of the group were the proposed
grading law measures or farm
products.
Among the important measures
that will make their appearance

,ensation bill providing for changes
