FERGUSON TELLS OF
TRAPPERS' FOOD, ETC

C. j. Ferguson, formerly of Wolf
Point, has an interesting article
in the October number of Hunter
Trader-Trapper, telling what a trap
per needs in the way of an outfit
before venturing into the north
wilds to spend a season. He said
that when he made his trip to the
United States last year he was ask
ed many times what was needed
in the way of equipment. In most
cases his answer proved discourag-
ing for he told them about $500
with which to buy a suitable out
fit and pay expenses"
To those who were not daunted
by that requirement, he gave de-
tailed information about the re-
quired outfits. His article tells just
what he and his wife take for food
stuffs and the clothing necessary
for their nine months Gin the
BUSH. The story is interesting
and readable, whether one is plan
ming to make practical use of the
suggestions OF whether one merely
wants information about the far
north.
Because of the necessity Of canoe
freighting all their foods, concen-
trated foods is used extensively.
Flour is S14.O0 a hundred or more
and sugar at least 25 cents a pound.
Nevertheless, Mr.. and Mrs. Fergu-
son use 300 pounds of flour, $50
pounds of sugar, 125 pounds of
dried fruits, dried potatoes, dried
onions, dried ~julienne, dried milk,
and dried eggs, several varieties
of cereals, butter, cheese, bacon,
lard, jams, honey, etc.
Another article is promised in
the November issue Of Hunter
Trader-Trapper.

same date as the All Club fair. All

UNIFORM PLAN,
FARM HOLIDAY
PfCkETING NOT ADVOCATE Ed
GRAIN, STOCK BUT NOT
PRODUCE HELD

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Sept. ia
general selling holiday seeking
higher farm prices RAJ ordered to
begin is all agricultural states of
the middle west and south at mid
night, Sept. 20, by the executive
council of the National Farmers
Holiday association in a meeting
here today.
The ~nonselling campaign is to
apply only to grain and livestock,
the leaders decided. Perishable
farm produce such as cream, but
ter and eggs are not to be with
held from markets for at least 80
days.
If at the end of that period the
price is not equal to the cost of
their production the perishable pro-
ducts likewise will not be sold, the
council members declared.
The council declared picketing
operations conducted in the Sioux
City vicinity for the last five weeks
had served a purpose. The leaders,
however, advocated that further
picketing be discontinued forth
with.
Instead of %picketing, the farm
holiday leaders suggested that the
farmers make every effort to en-
list the support of all farmers in
the movement.

Mrs. Luther Higgins brought to
The Herald office this week a pair
of cucumbers the larger of which
takes the heavy weight champion
ship of the season in the pickle de-
partment. The actual data on this
garden monster shows: Weight, 3
pounds, 1879 ounces; length 1873
inches; circumference 11h inches.
And it looks even bigger than these
figures sound. The big cuke's mate
is not much smaller-the two weigh

A WORD CONCERNING
81 COMMERCIAL CLUB
BY Secy. Charles Gordon

Below appear the names of the
members of the club for 1882. Read
it over carefully. These members
believe that Wolf Point is worth
living in, and its Commercial club
is worthy of support.
The club does not need to argue
its case. Every informed resident
knows that we could not get along
without it; that it has furnished
the leadership for every forward
movement in Wolf Point for the
past twenty years. Wolf Point
would have three times as many
members of the Commercial Club
if a personal approach by people
who know of the merits of the or
ganization could be made.

JOAN CRAWFORD SHOWS
WORTH AS GREAT STAR

If you harbor a slim doubt that
Joan Crawford stands with distinct
ion among the few "First Ladies'
of the screen, dispel them now.
Moreover, by way of prophesy, Joan
is the white Hope" of Hollywood,
and her destiny is to GUST each and
every usurper from the throne of
the movie monarchy. And to occupy
that throne herself in regal majesty
and splendor.
In an all-star cast there is but
one star-Joan Crawford! LEFTY
Lynton" marks a new high in her
career, and no movie mime, past
or present, could excel the exquisite
portrayal of the pictures tortured
heroine. She stands a revelation
even to those who have long wor-
shipped at her flaming shrine.
In a handsome, we~ll-directed
story, she is the wilfull daughter
of a great house who descends to
a torrid but tawdry affair with a
suave and perfumed cave-man from
some Latin land. He declines to
call it quits when romance willis,
and stands between the girl and
marriage to her first real love.
In addition to the stars superb
performance, Nils Asther tops any
portrayal he has contributed in the
role of william, and the buoyant
Robert Montgomery is n of those
c1ean-cut, worldly-wise youngsters
he limns so well. The three share
centre screen among them, but not
to the exclusion of delightful por-
traits created by that artist, May
Robson, the talented Lewis Stone
and that smooth, effective actress,
Closer Hale. Lefty Lyn-
is something for LEO" the
Metro lion, to roar about. And Joan
will rouse a whole jungle of lions
to roar her praise. 1t will be shown
ut the Liberty Theatre Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday.

NO CONTROL OF
GASOLINE PRICE

Governor j. e. Erickson, in a
letter to his old friend and one
time partner, Charles Gordon, pro-
tests against being made the victim
of a campaign of whispered propa-
ganda that charges him with being
responsible for the e~xhorbitant
prices charged for gasoline in Mon
tana, and complains that the gov
ernor does nothing about it. OF
course that is politics of a sort that
both parties play when they find
a chance. But leaving politics out
of it Governor Erickson has taken
more interest in and done more
for the east end of the state than
any governor the state has had in
recent years. His letter reveals
certain price control facts that
should give us all something to
think about.

AT WILLISTON; SCORE
SIX TO TWO

OllVeT 5 northeast MOI
tana all-star ball team cut anoth-
er notch in their bats at Willis
ton last Sunday when they took the
measure of Pete Slyter's speedy
bunch, six runs to two. This was
the second game between the
teams, B%randon's bunch winning
at Brush Lake, 4 to 3, ten innings,
a few weeks ago.
The Montana team had the best
of the stick work. Big Clarence
Polling was pounded plenty and the
score of the Montanan's would have
been much larger had the batting
not been against a high wind.
Babcock's box work was neat
and effective. The Dakota hitters
scored twice on him in the first
inning. After that he sat them down
on a nest of goose eggs for the
rest of the afternoons festivities.
In an early inning Brandon's boys
garnered four markers to put the
game safely in the bag, and then
picked off one in each of two lat
er innings, for good measure. The
Williston team fought hard and
kept the hopes of the home rooters
high to the last. Box score details
are lacking.

FORAGE POISON KILLS HORSES

Forage poisoning has been killing
horses in Rock and Lyon counties
where C. A. Cragoe reports he lost
six head within 80 days. Other farm
ers reported from one to six head.
Veterinarians and livestock special
lists are at loss to account for the
disease. In some cases it has been
clearly attributable to feeding too
much cornstalks and other roughage,
without sufficient hay and grain. In
rare instances horses afflicted have
not had access to corn stalks.
The symptoms appear to be identi-
cal, the affected animals first going
blind and refusing eat. Sometimes
the horses are run down in flesh.
Only small percentage recover.
Veterinarians recommend feeding
a regular grain ration, but admit this
is not cure, merely a diminisher.

Cottonwood School
Burned Saturday

School children of Cottonwood went
back to classes Wednesday in halls
and churches, following the disast-

ed the old section of the public school
there and caused heavy damage to
the building.
Flames broke out in the old build
ing at 2 p. M, Saturday and while
the building was devoured before
evening, the blaze continued through
out the night. The Cottonwood fire
department successfully prevented
the fire from spreading to the new
building.
The section of the school destroy
ed was a two-story brick structure
containing 10 rooms. The fire start
ed between the roof and ceiling,
from an undetermined cause.
With the heating plant located in
the part Of the building that burned,
the new section, which was completed
in November, 1880, cannot be used.
Temporary quarters about town have
been pressed into service for the re-
sumption of classs.
Heaviest damage to the new sec
ton resulted from water, as the de-
partment had to work through that
part of the building to get at the fire.
