HOUSE MEMBERS, VISITORS,

WASHINGTON. May 31.-Presi-
dent Hoover went directly to the
senate in person today with an adj.
dress in which he declared that
IAN emergency has developed in
the last few days which it is my
duty to lay before the senate"
Spurred to this extraordinary
step by the situation facing the
country and the government, he
told the senate ''there can be no
doubt that long continued delay in
enactment of legislation to reduce
expenditures and provide ven
has given rise to anxiety in ability
of government to meet its duty"
"These fears and doubts have
had an influence in foreign coun-
tries" he said.
They know by experience the
force Of an unbalanced budget.
They do not realize that as slow
as the processes may be, we are
determined to place the finances
of the government on a firm basis"
The legislators hung on his every
word, in an atmosphere that was
markedly subdued in contrast with
the stormy days of debate of late.
Only a while before the senate had
evinced a determination to raise
adequate taxes, this time by step
ping up income levies to the 1921
level.
In days just gone, President Hoo
yer emphasized, American gold re-
serves had deprecated and the dol
lar was discounted abroad.
"This must be stopped or there
will be great losses to the people
Of the United States and still furth-
er retard recovery" he said.
Speaks in Low Tones
The gravity with which Mr.. Hoo
yer approached his subject was
shown in the low cones with which
ne spoke. Those in the galleries
lad difficulty hearing him.
The dignified senate chamber
vas packed with the exception of
he diplomatic gallery.
More than half the house mem
,ers lined the walls and listened as
ntent1y as the senator's.

produce one such eminent success.
He urged the graduates to develop
their talents so that their achieve
ments might be worth while.
The graduating class formed an
attractive picture and one of which
the entire community may well be
proud, the girls in dainty pastel
colored gowns and the boys in dark
suits.
Mrs. e. L. Shipman played the
professional and occasional both
for the graduation and for the bac-
calaureate exercises. Musical num-
bers on the commencement pro-
gram included a song by the girls

McCone Co. Assessors
Economy Record Good

Figures complied by the Montana
Taxpayers association showing the
comparative costs of the office of
county assessor in a long list of
counties of small or medium pop
ulation make an excellent showing
for Sylvester Dwyer, assessor of
McCone county the last four years.
On the basis of population Dwyer's
total office expense is as low as
any and much lower than some
counties of nearly the same size,
and far below the average.

Brockton Boy Hurt
In Train Accident

Clarence Christian of Brockton,
the 13-year old son of Mrs. Adrian
Magnan was so badly injured Wed
nesday afternoon in an accident
at Brockton that it was necessary
to amputate his right leg between
the knee and ankle. The boy is III
the Poplar Indian hospital. Just
how the accident occurred was not
learned as apparently there were
no witnesses, but the injury was
caused by the boy coming in con
tact with a moving train in such
a wav that the lower part of his
leg and his foot were SO badly
mangled that it was impossible to
save the foot.

WOLVES WREAK
REVENGE, VIDA
MEMORIAL DAY GAME PROVES
II INNING THRILLER WITH
SCORE 5 TO q

The biggest attendance of the
season, so far, rooted and yelled
itself hoarse at Mondays exhibition
ball game between Vida and Wolf
Point on the local grounds. II
was juicy revenge for the Wolves
after having been taken to the
cleaners by the McCone county
| gang in the only league game they
have mixed in, 10 to 8. But of
course the Memorial Day game
does not count in league percent
age.
A stranger would not have rec
ognized Brandon's boys as the
same outfit that played Medicine
| Lake on the same diamond the
day before and Culbertson two
weeks ago. This Monday game was
no free lunch at that. In fact it
was %anybody's meat until the last
second before Joe Garfield landed
on a fast one for a clean drive
with one out in the last of the
18th.
After the score had been tied in
a hard knot, 4 to 4, for three and
a half innings, Jacob, head of the
list, hit a sharp one into the dust
in front of Singleton at second
and it got through him for an er-
ror. High Eagle made an out that
put jacob on second. Garfield
swung on what looked like a fast
one in the groove. 1t screamed over
short and ore up the dust in the
outfield before the gardeners could
move more than a couple of steps
toward it. And that was the game.
Vida had to play without Toay
and Funk, both regulars. But they
are nearly all ball players in that
vicinity so they did not lack subs.
The Wolves were without the SER
vices of Martin, reliable backstop
and sticker. and Johnnie Helmer.
But they had Weingartner in the
box and he was something for the
visitors to reckon with. His rec
ord for the day was six hits, only
two in one inning, and II strike
Joe Schillinger, veteran of earlier
years in Vida's career, was drafted
for the game and pitched six in
nings and then went behind the
bat and caught his successor, Dye.

FREIGHT RATES into MONTANA
INTERSTATE COMMERCE Elk.
AMINER TAKES TESTI-
MONY IN CASE
WESTLAND OIL co. VERSUS
c. N. RAILWAY; BIG COM
PANfES OPPOSE

A freight rate hearing, the out
come of which is OF tremendous
Importance to Northeastern Mon
tana, was held at the Sherman no.
tel Tuesday, May 81. before T. Leo
Haden of Washington, d. c.. ex-
aminer for the interstate commerce
commission. The hearing was the
result of a complaint filed with
the interstate commerce commits
sion Jan. Z, 1881. by the Westland
Oil Company of Minot against the
Great Northern. The complaint al
leges that rates charged for the
transportation of petroleum prod
ucts from points in the states of
Missouri. Oklahoma. Arkansas.
Louisiana and Texas, and Minot,
N. Oak. to points in northeastern
Montana were and are unreason-
able, and in violation of Section I
of the Interstate Commerce Act.
The hearing was attended by a
number of farmers and business
men from Wolf Point and surround
ing towns. Although only petroleum
products were mentioned in the
complaint, it is generally believed
that should the contention of the
Westland Oil company be granted.
and a reduction in freight rates in
to this section be made by reason
of a change in the boundary lines
between zones, that freight rates
other commodities would also
be reduced. If, on the other hand,
the commission should decide that
the present rates are fair, it might
eventually in an increase in
to points east OF the Mon
lire.
Intervenors in the case included
the Continental Oil company of
Ponca City. Okla, the Texas com
oany with headquarters at New
York City, the White Eagle Oil
company of Kansas City, the Stan
lard Oil company of Indiana, the
Midland Oil company Of Kansas
.ity. the Yale Oil Corporation of

.ex Refining Company of Arkansas

MEDICINE LAKE

WOLF POINT WINS A FREE
HITTING GAME, MAKING
PERCENTAGE 500

The Medicine Lake-Wolf Point
county league game Sunday was an.
other of those smuggling matches
that result in high scores. The
Wolves emerged victors % to 10.
The play went fairly even for three
innings but after the fourth the
home team had the game bagged
and nothing to worry about. The
hot batting led to plenty of field
ing slips on both sides.
The Medicine Lake team vas
late in making their decision to
COZ c into the league this season
and have not had time for practice
and coaching. They appear to have
the makiugs Of a formidable club
and will bear watching in the lat
ter part of the season.
The game gave the Wolves two
wins out Of four played and moved
them up to 500 in the percentage
column. They have lost to Vida
and Culbertson and won from Pop
lar and Medicine Lake.

pushing a breakfast table on
wheels. The sight and smell of
that meal suddenly made me
realize that we had been work
ing all night and that I, for
one, was ravenouS.
In silence we began to eat.
There was creamed chicken on
toast, hot rolls and marmalade,
and the exquisite coffee which
Colts butler grinds and boils
with such loving artistry; the
smell of that coffee is like an
incense in my memory. After
his third cup of that priceless
beverage, and a voraciouS at
tack on the chicken, Dougherty
leaned back, beaming brightly.
When at last he spoke, his con-
versation had nothing to do
with the crime. Instead, Dough-
erty began to talk of his shoot
ing lodge in the Adirondacks, Of
the ways of wild game in fog
and sunshine, and the joys of
living the hermit's life, which
Dougherty, who had been mar
ried three times and had II
children, could hymn with
gusto. Colt responded in kind,
enthusing over the fishing near
the shores Of Cape Cod, where
he has his summer home. In
this vein the talked rolled on,
