A Future Project
The depression and drouth Of
1881 has had its lessons but one
that stands out prominently is the
fact that this district needs more
irrigation. We have hundreds OF
thousands of acre of land along
the Missouri river In Roosevelt and
! Valley counties susceptible of irr1
| cation and this land should be
watered and crops assured every
year regardless of climatic condi'
| lions. This would stimulate divers
flied farming and would add i'm
measureably to the wealth and
prosperity of this community |
am sure that it would also demon
strate that our Indian citizens are
willing to take hold when they
have a proper incentive. Construct
ion on this project would provide
remunerative work for them which
would be more beneficial in it's re-
suits than a temporary dole.
The club will not lose sight of
this project and will continue it's
efforts in the matter. 1t is a big
project but every successful un-
dertaking was first a dream before
it became a reality. Some day this
project when successful will call
for a celebration like Bridge Day.
1 am going to make a rather
startling announcement. Right a.
mong us are persons who will take
over this project and also our
churches, schools and commercial
undertakings. They will carry on
what we have started and assume
control Of our city and state. We
may adopt all the policies we
please but how they will be car
ried out depends upon them. SO let
us plan and work that when that
time comes, they will say we did
we'll. | refer to the boys and girls
of today who will be the leaders
of tomorrow.
Appreciation
The past year has been on the
whole a good one in the club his
tory. Despite hard times talk, the
club has been fortunate in its col
lections and memberships. 1t con-
Quoted an aggressive program of
activities during the past year.
There is no doubt but that the
same aggressive attitude will be
maintained during the coming year.
A time of stress usually has the
of making an organization
ascend to greater heights or he's
the adverse effect of compelling it
to break.
We express gratitude for the
hearty cooperation which the mem
bership and the entire community
has constantly extended us. We ex-
press our thanks and appreciation
for the kindly support and backing
Of the Lions club, and in passing
let me say that this Lions club has
proved itself to be a real force for
good; also to the Wolf Point Her
aid for it's excellent support and
unselfish assistance in publishing
accounts of organization activities
and to the teachers and pupils of
the school here who favor us with
splendid programs.
Our club throughout the years
has been mo st fortunate in its
choice of executives and directors.
They represent the history and
growth of this city. The clubs first
president was in 1913, Charles E.
Robin, followed by presidents John
Cook, Clyde Patton, John Lister
i'd, John H. Coffey. H. B. Tyson,
}. C. johnson, R. J. Moore, A w.
Iuxsol, H. A. Peglow. C. j.. Sew
,rson, C. L. Marshall, w. L. Young.
And we feel in our hearts that the
Wolf Point Commercial club new
# had a more conscientious, able
md earnest president than the one
low finishing his first term, Mr..
I'd Camrud,
