The Oil Situation
Shelby News

Shelby News
Judging from present indica-
tions several different COM
panies will be drilling for oil in
the Sweet Grass fields of Toole
county within the next ninety
days. Cliff S. Bollong of Butte,
an oil expert, who has been
studying conditions there for
several weeks past, states that
the Montana Canadian COM
pany has ordered equipment for
its drilling and that at least five
companies are making plans to
set up rigs within the next few
weeks.
An impetus has been given
the oil development of this
district by the fact that Ira E.
Segur, one of the substantial
oil men of the country, has his
rig in working order. Mr.. Segur,
it is said, has invested 100000
of his owp money here and his
rig, which is set up on the
famous Roscoe ranch, is the
talleSt on the American con-
tinent, being 106 feet in height
and with a capacity to drill
5000 feet, which is deeper than
has been found necessary to
drill in any of the oil fields of
the continent.
Another thing that is hasten
ing the oil companies to get
busy with their drilling is the
fact that within the past ten
days fossil-shale has been dis.
covered in several spots at a
depth of from Is to 20 feet. All
the biologists who have ex-
amined this district have agreed
that the one thing required to
make the indications for oil
complete was the discovery of
.foosil-shale. and now that it
has been found the prospects
for finding oil are considered
more nearly perfect.

Treating It anks


The Great Northern railway
company is building a structure
north of the railroad yards here
near the county road that is
known as the water treatment
tank. This tank will have a
capacity of 10000 gallons.
Thirty-three of these tanks will
be erected between here and
Cut Bank at all places where
there are water tanks, at cost
of $20O,0O0.00 appropriated for
this purpose by the company.
A new method has been dis.
covered whereby water can be
treated in these tanks which
will take out all impurities such
as alkali, soda or other impurit-
les, whick are detrimental and
injurious generally to locomo-
tive boilers and flues. The ex-
pense of erecting these tanks
and treating the water for use
in the locomotives by the rail-
way company will be offset in
tn long run by the preservation
of the boilers, the prevention of
leaking flues, the corroding of
the interior of boilers and the
frequent repairs and labor made
on locomotive boilers caused by
alkali in the water.

The city was represented by

represented by Thos. D. Long.
After an able discussion from
technical, ethical, moral and

sides, the question of whether
a license should be issued to
Mr.. Steffens in the face of the
dlsorderly manner in which it
it was alleged he condusted the
