The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1915-11-11

The present indications seem to
point to a branch pushing out from
point on the main line two miles
east of Temple and bearing toward
Plentywood, thus giving one of the
richest sections of the state, the
transporting facilities that have
been demanded since its settlement.
The new road will be constructed
with the same care that character
lied the main line, and not as
branch lines are usually constructed
1t is said that the Scobey branch
from Fleetwood is built from the
best of material, and is with re-
spect to steel and road bed, the
equal of what is now the main line.
The inference is, that from Temple,
the road will be constructed ulti-
mately, to become the main line.
The proposed road will traverse the
fertile Rainbow valley and cross a
long narrow strip of gravel pit in
the Marmon country where gravel
for balasting 100 miles of roadbed
can be secured at a minimum cost.

OIL PROSPECTS ARE
FOUND NEAR SACO.

Ground near Saco has been found
to be so saturated with oil that It
will burn when touched with a
lighted match.
The prospects of Saco becoming a
great oil city in the northwest is not
an idle dream, for many new dis
coveries and facts indicate that Saco
is the center of great oil region.
Mr.. Gross, the quiet man who was
with us few weeks ago and who
obtained oil leases from every one
he possibly could before anyone
hardly realized what he was after. is
man who has drilled over three
hundred oil wells in southern states
and out of these only % were fail
ures.
It is needless to say that Mr..
Gross is an expert in this line and
has spent a few years looking all
over Montana and neighboring
states for just such a prospect that
he found right here, which he
termed as the second Kansas field
Mr.. Gross is not looking for Saco
capital but he left short time ago
to interest some of the Kansas oil
kings and to ship some large drills
here with the expectation of COM
mencing work this fall
Ground was found here so satur-
ated from oil sepage that it would
burn when a match was applied, and
limestone, peculiar to oil regions
were his most promising discover
les; blue shale, sulphur and salt
water are other indications of oil
| +bo+ vyoro found Ho saws that MANY
other geological indications point to
oil and this, coupled with the fact
that the Saco district has in it's time
been great basin, Beaver creek
from the wetst, Larb creek from the
south, Frenchman creek from the
north, Stinkey and Whitewater
creeks from the northwest with
many other smaller creeks all empty
into the Milk river near here, the
famous Saco divide has been proven
to be but wash dirt from these wat
er sources. This great drainage reg
ion is an empire by itself, coal has
been found both north and south OF
us. Nature has formed great
basin here, one that is natural
drainage to a great lake of oil that
seems to be cropping out in many
places near town. Oil lies between
two bodies of gas, so oil men say.
We have the high pressure gas at
Havre on one side and the Baker
gas district on the other, and with
many discoveries of pockets of gas
around us it looks as if Saco was to
have the real Oil.-SacO Independ-

SUGAR BEET FACTORY
FOR THE CITY OF MALTA
The Standard of Poplar, Montana,

The Standard of Poplar, Montana,
says:
1t has been reported to us that a
sugar beet factory is soon to be
built at Malta. Inquiries have been
made from the Great Northern Rail-
way Company regarding the carrier
charges of sugar beets, and the COM
pany has replied that the charges
will be in the neighborhood of soc.
per ton from Poplar to Malta.
This news should be particularly
interesting to those in the Fort
Peck irrigation project. On irrigat-
ed lands the crop usually yields
about Is tons per acre. Sugar beets
usually bring about $3.50 per ton
at the factory. With freight charg-
es at only 80 cents per ton it can
easily be seen that the profit is a
good one. Should the factory be To-
Gated at Malta and enough of the
farmers can be interested in the To-
cal project, the result is easily for
seen.
Next week we expect to publish
some figures gathered from the
Huntley project where the growing
of sugar beets has met with such
splendid success.
