RURAL VIRGINIA
| DEMANDS GUT
: IN TAXES

RICHMOND. Va, Jan. Is.
Members of the Virginia legisla-
ture returned to their desks today
in a humor to slash State salaries
approximately 100000 deeper
than had been recommended by
Gov. John Garland Pollard.
Some of the extra cuts may
come through the abolition or
consolidation of departments and
bureaus. In other cases, the
salary ak will fall upon the bet
ter-Salaried officials, it was indi-
Gated.
There is every indication that
the house will accept the senate
resolution for a joint inquiry into
salaries today, but this study, far
from saving the present scale of
State pay, is expected to work
in reverse. 1t may preserve the
old wage scale of some of the
little fellows, but it will throw
open the door for a general raid
upon salaries of individual Off
cials.
The visit home over the week
end of many asSemblymen is be-
lieved to have strengthened,
rather than weakened, the re-
trenchment spirit expressed Fri.
day in a joint resolution commit
ting both branches to Governor
Pollard's policy of "curtail ex-
penses; increase no taxes"
From the towns and counties
has arisen the loudest cry for
reduced taxes heard in Virginia
since George III ruled the Com
monwealth, and many members
forsee the sudden termination of
their political careers unless there
is some kind of a tax cut this
session. And they know that
there is no hope of any appre-
ciable tax cut unless from $780,
900 to $500.000 more is trimmed
from the governors already slim
budget.

BALL
SET FOR. FEB. 5

Announcement is made this
week that the date selected for
the nineteenth annual Firemen's
Ball is Friday evening, February
5th. AS usual it will be at the
Coliseum and music will be furn-
ished by Ben Anderson's orchestra.
Of late years it has usually been
held on or near Lincoln's birth
day, but this year the date was
made a week earlier because of
the earliness of Lent.
Tickets will be on sale within
a few days, and it is hoped that
the fire department will receive
good patronage, as that is the only
way the public can express their
appreciation for the work done by
the boys. 1t is a matter of congrat-
ulation that on occasions when fire
has started in Wolf Point, the
prompt and efficient work of the
Wolf Point volunteer fire depart
ment has been the means of check
ing the flames quickly, preventing
much greater fire loss. People can
say thank you by buying a ticket
to the dance.

BEER AND MOON; SAM

WaddelTs dry squad came to
town again Monday and as a re-
suit the invisible supply of liquid
refreshments was somewhat reduc-
ed. Mrs. "Stub" Simon's resident
ial quarters, in the VIM. Reed
building on Fourth street, north
of Main, proved quite productive.
Waddell, Mitchell, Darke and local
police chief, Sham1ey, logged tut
more than seven cases of home
brew or beer, a ten gallon keg of
moon and a lot of half PIN empty
bottles.
One by one the beer bottles were
hurled against a heap of iron junk
in the back yard and exploded like
plenty Of yeast had been used. The
moon was emptied and the keg,
cases and empty bottles were
broken to bits with an ak. Mrs. ST.
mon was not home and the officers
were told by another woman at the
place she was in Oswego. The Of
ficers left word that she should
report to Commissioner Stennes
when she came home. This she did
and was given the usual $500 fine.
Ole Rose and Melvin Erickson
signed for her and she went back
home. In the Fall of 1880 Mrs.
Simon was fined $3.50 by u. s.
District Judge Pray and the fine
was suspended. Unless this fine
has since been paid the court, it
seems likely, will cancel the sus-
pension. The officers said the key
bore marks indicating it contained
Creighton stuff from Williston.

TINY AIRPLANE FULL
OF AMBITION TO FLY

A beautiful little bi-plane, made
with great VI and accuracy, the
work of William Dietrich, is on
display at The Fad clothing store.
The tiny ship has about two feet
wing spread and is about Is inch
es long. Wings and body are Gov
cred with thin oiled paper. The
biggest surprise about it is its
weight-a scant three ounces.
The motor" is a strong rubber
band inside the fuselage that can
be given a twist tension by revolv-
ing the propeller backward. There
has been no real test of the little
ships flying qualities because there
is no suitable place available. But
when it was wound up and releas-
ed on a small floor it shot away
like a bird until stopped and held
to save it from damage. With
of runway and overhead
clearance it would surely take the
air. A test in a large hall would
be highly interesting.
The material in the miniature
craft is from a stock obtained by
}. c. Johnson, proprietor of The
Fad, from the American Air Ca
let's company.

between Poplar and Wolf Point,
one between Culbertson and Balm
vile, and a third went into the
Froid territory. Each car contained
APO 1O0-pound bags. New applica-
tons are still coming in for month
ly cash allowances from people
who at first thought they could
get through without this aid. 1t is
believed there is no want of a
kind to cause suffering among the
country people, Mr.. Johnson says.
A large amount of food, clothing
and cash has given out.

R. M. THOMPSON
RETIRED BY G. N.
FORMER WOLF POINT MAYOR
COMPLETES 80 YEARS
RAILWAY SERVICE

r. NJ. Thompson formerly of
Wolf Point and recently of Havre,
a Great Northern employee with
80 years of service completed, was
placed On the company's retired
list January IL. This distinction
carries with it, it is understood, a
pension of $50 a month for life and
card passes, for himself and wife,
over the Great Northern system.
Mr.. Thompson was a citizen of
Wolf Point during the time the
division terminal was here. Sup
ported by the railroad and labor
forces he var elected mayor of
the city. defeating r. j. Moore.
An achievement of his two-year
administration was the improve
ment of the water supply by the
construction of a Kelly gravel pack
well and the installation of a large
electric driven rotary pump that
have proven highly efficient and
economical.
Visit Local Friends
Mr.. Thompson accompanied by
Mrs. Thompson, visited local
friends a few days the early part
of this week. He still holds a
keen interest in this town and its
affairs, past and present. He owns
farm at Macon six miles east of
town. He also owns a small tract
near Everett, Washington. He
and his wife are going there to
make their home, for a time at
least. He says he is not sure he
will be content under the mackeral
skies of Washington, and may be
lured back to Montana where
skies are always blue"
Mr.. Thompson, whose early life
was devoted to school work in
Missouri, began work for the Great
at Superior, Wisconsin,
in 1902, and has served in several
departments. Reviews of his ser
vice with the railroad were pub
in the Havre Daily News
and the Great Falls Tribune. Many
friends in this part of the state
wish our former mayor and his
good wife success and happiness
wherever their lot may be cast.
