30 YEARS AGO
Elmer Hauge in World War I
with the Naval Aviation Service in
France had written a long letter to
his friends via the paper, describ
ing the old world methods of living
and telling of the contentment of
people with so little in the way of
conveniences. Robert Farrell, in the
front line trenches had written a
short note saying after 29 days in
the trenches he was having a 3-day
rest He went into the army in No
vember and spent Christmas in the
trenches.
Washington authorities were
planning enactment of a man-pow
er bill providing an army of 6 mil
lon men drawn from the 18 to 45
year age group.
Quoting from an article in the
August 15 issue of the Wolf Point
Herald—“ Flying over the road at 40
miles an hour to save the candi
dacy of a N. E. Montana man for
Congress in the second district,
Grant Smith and George Hagenson
made the trip to Helena in a Stu
debaker six last night. Grant at
the wheel and George carrying the
petitions. The trip was a record
breaker and the candidacy of Moore
was saved as the deadline for nom
ination. The Great Falls Leader
stated “The trip stands as a record
breaker between here (Great Falls)
and Helena in the night time and
meant an average of nearly 40 miles
per hour over the Rocky Mountains
in darkness, the distance being
about 118 miles.”
20 YEARS AGO
Jack Marmon, federal officer
smoked a moonshiner out of a
thorny thicket near his southside
home where he took refuge when
the officer appeared. He was ap
rehended after eight years of known
illegal brewing.
Work on the gravelled highway
out north of Culbertson was al
mpst completed and traffic was to
be coming over it in 10 days open
ing the travel from Froid, Plenty
wood and on north east.
A. V. Appelgren, young Wolf
Point banker had been elected pres
ident of group 4 of the Montana
Bankers Association and his smil
ing face appeared on the cover of
the State “Banker,” magazine.
The County Commissioners were
busy with road petitions, the pur
chase of new metal culverts and
consideration of the proposed
transportation of the Drs. C. E.
Yates and Paul Mossman who were
to do the examinations throughout
the county.
The Federal officers were busy
near the Canadian border raiding
stills and moonshiners. They found
a large cache of beer in a culvert 3
miles south of Scobey. 11 cases of
Canadian beer and two cars were
seized by the officers in one case,
12 cases of tfeer and two bootleggers
in another raid.
10 YEARS AGO
The Chas. I. Brown Golden Wed
ding parties were unique in the fact
that all their children were present
for the anniversary celebrations
held at Scobey and at Wolf Point.
Only three grandchildren were mis
sing from the family group. Mr.
Brown was well-known throughout
this section and many others as
“Hamburger Brown’’ as he and his
wife ran a hamburger stand at the
Stampedes and Fairs.

1938 wheat loan program were re

The city was considering the pur
chase of a new 200,000 gal. steel
