"The oil indications certainly seem

Harry B. johnson Of Los Angeles,
one of the greatest oil experts in the
country, after careful examination of
the district, has located upon land i'm
mE1sAtely adjoining that in which this
Company has oil rights.
Other California oil people who have
sent experts into this district, are
julius Fried, original owner Of the
famous Lake View property in the Mid
way Field, and Ralph Arnold, an oil
operator and geologist Of Lational re-
pute. ALI concur in stating that the
Flathead seepages are among the best
they have ever examined and that they
are Of such nature as not only to
clearly indicate the presence of oil and
natural gas, but the strong probability
that they will be found in commercial
quantities at a reasonable depth.

The principal offices of the company

quarters in the Peyton building, and
the fiscal agents are Rhodehamel, Bah

ing. A manager has not been selected
nor have detailed plans for develop
ment of the company holdings been
outlined, but a meeting of the direc-
tors will be held in few days to con-
slider both.
"Our holdings comprise 1000 acres
of land in diffesent parts of the Flat
head Valley, just across the interna-
tional boundary, north of Glacier Ma
tional Park" said Mr.. Fisher yester-
day. "We contemplate beginning
active development as soon as possi-

field about September | to select a

Oil Expert Sees
Flathead Valley
Sinclair Thinks British Columbia Com

Its Lands.
Flathead Company Certain to Get Flow,
but Depth Is Not Yet Known.

Il. J. Sinclair, oil expert, who has
been associated for number of years
with some of the largest petroleum
companies in the United States, has
been retained by Walter Nichols to
investigate oil lands in the Flathead
Valley and other regions in which he
and other Spokane men are interested.
Mr.. Sinclair has just returned from a
visit to the Flathead district.
"In company with Colonel W. E.
Mann and CLAUS Jeldness, president and
vice-president of the Flathead Petro-
leum Company, and Fred Loomis, gen
eral manager of the Peyton Invest
ment Company, visited the oil fields
on the north fork of the Flathead
River, just north of the international
boundary" said Mr.. Sinclair at the

Intense Interest In
Inland Empire
Over Developments in FIathead
Oil Field.
BIG GUSHERS PREDICTED BY
BIOLOGISTS,

The flattering reports Of the worlds
best geologists and the recent develop
nents in the Nathead Valley Oil Field
ef British Columbia has attracted the
attention Of the most skepticd business
pen Of Spokane and the Inland EN-
pire, and they are beginning to real
ize the Importance Of the Flathead
Valley as commercial oil field and
what it will mean to Spokane and the
Northwest.
The Flathead Valley has been known
as a possible oil field for many years,
but development has been held in abey-
ance pending final decision in the
legal struggle carried on by the Cana
dian Pacific Railway Company to se-
cure these lands. Quite recently the
p-ivy council of London settled the
title in the Province Of British Colum-
bia. Active work has resulted, and
development work was being conducted
prior to the Calgary excitement, and
is in 70 way an outgrowth of that
strike, but is distinct field and
should not be confused with any other
district.
There are ten companies operating
in the Flathead Valley field, which
own or control practically all of the
desirable oil lands.
Three shallow wells all under 200
feet in depth have produced quantities
of oil of remarkable quality. While
these test wells were not drilled for
commercial purposes, they have demon
strated that there is large body of
oil at greater depth and wells are
now being sunk to tap the main body.

gist of Canada, while in charge of the
Canadian geological surveys, in speak

Investigated Oil SeepA

uWhile Colonel Mann was directing
the preliminary operations Of the Flat
head Petroleum Company, spent four
days working out the geology and in
vestigating the oil and gas seeps, which
are located on Sage Creek, just at the
mouth Of tho canyon.
"The British Columbia Oil Company
has drilled two shallow wells near the
oil seeps, and both of them show good
Indications of oil and gas for the
depth, as neither Of them is much
more than 100 feet in bedrock. All the
geology west of the oil seep is covered
by glacial deposits, 80 it is impossible
to say at present what is the source
of the oil, but all the seeps visited
come from the shale.
Think Oil Is There.
"The country has undergone so many
changes in it's geological history that
it would be impossible to say just
where the oil will be found, but that
it is there in commercial quantities car
not be doubted after seeing the amount
of gas and oil that is forced W through
the rock at the oil seepages and the
strong gas pressure in the two oil well:
drilled by the British Columbia Oh
Company.
"There is no doubt that the Flat
head Petroleum Company will strike
oil but it is impossible to tell how deel
they will have to drill. -

ASKS SCALPS MRS.
FL. BUDEL|ER AND
HARRY |MULN|x

In three letters addressed to the
board of county commissioners today
James B. Hunter, president of the
Taxpayers League, demands decided
retrenchment in the conduct Of the
countys affairs for the next year
and backs up his requests with n
threat to turn further information
over to the grand jury.
The charges that James A. Munson
acts as notary public during office
hours. that Harry Mulnix should not
be retained as auditor and that the
position of probation officer, held by
Mrs Emma Budelier. Is unnecessary
are the principal features of the let
ter.
Mr.. Hunter declares that the
grand jury will be asked to act on
the matter of auditing the county's q
books il another private auditor is
employed this year, claiming that
the public accountant is sufficient as
an examiner
Mr. Hunter also declares that
there should be no further employ
ment of a probationd officer on the
ground that it is an unjustified ex-
pense and is not found necessary in
other counties of the state.
No action will be taken on the
matters by the county board until
after the organization week from
tomorrow.
