Gas and Oil

Standard Dill Co. DESTROYS
ofIExploring Upper Milk1
River Country

Quoting a government official
now located on the Blackfeet
reserv alton, the Great F alls
Leader of last Saturday contain
ed an article to the effect that a
representative of the Standard
Oil Co. had recently made a
proposition to. the Blackfeet]In-
dian Council, to the. .effectl that
if permission could beisecured
from this council to explore the
upper Milk river section in quest
of oil, this company would OK
pend one million dollars and il
oil were found would take an
equal chance with other oil COM
panies in negotiating for the
development of same.
The Standards representative
conveyed the impression, ac-
cording to this interview, that
the dome of the great oil and
gas belt Of northern Montana
was in the upper Milk River
region and since the Rockefeller
wizards seldom 60 wrong in
their calculations and do not 20
chasing wildcat ideas, it is
pretty safe to conclude that
this representative has pretty
certain knowledge of the exist
ence Of gas and oil-taking for
granted that the Leader story
has a basis in fact.
A meeting of the Blackfeet
Council was to take place on
May 18th, to consider the mat
ter, but nothing has been learn
ed as to whether such meet
ing was held.

Gas Well at Haure

The quest for gas by the
Havre Oil & gas company
proved successful on last Sun
day. when at a depth of ap-
proximatly eleven hundred feet
a flow of natural gas was struck
that equalled If not surpassed
in volume that of the first COM
mercial well penetrated in the
Havre field-15 million f e e t
daily. Measurements of t h e
volume have been made, it is
understood, but The Plaindealer
could not reach anyone in au-
thority to ascertain the figures.
1t is from this well that the
Mutual Gas Co., recently grant
ed a franchise to pipe the city,
expects to get it's supply of
natural gas. It is understood
the new company has ordered
the necessary pipe for the sys-
tenn, and that the work of lay
ing the pipe line will begin just
as soon as the material arrives.
Under the franchise as granted,
the Mutual is committed to a
maximum charge of Is cents
per thousand feet for domestic
use, which if carried out will
give this city the cheapest gas

The BaccaLaureate
Sermon
(Contributed)

Last Sunday night, at t h e
Presbyterian C h u r c h, Rev.
James D. Gold, D. D., of Brown
ing, preached the Baccalaureate
sermon to the graduating class
of the high school before a large
audience of relativesand friends
of the graduates. A Trio was
sung by members of the choir
and the congregational singing
was of a hearty nature.
DR.. Colds sermon was crisp
and bright and was we'll re-
ceived by those present. He
defined education a S a n i'm
pulse to research and observa-
ton, which is derived from con-
tact with the teacher and the
facts acquired in school. He
gave a rapid sketch of the great
teachers of the past and pres
ent, beginning with Socrates
and Aristotle and coming down
to Horace Mann, Thomas Ar
mold, Mark Hopkins and James
McCash. The educational i'm
pulse leads to travel, history,
science and all sorts of sacrifice
in the interest of discovery and
invention. Ernest Shackleton,
Langley and the Wright broth
ers were cited as shining exam
pies. Altogether, the sermon
was characterized by d e e p
thought, wide reading and apt
Illustration from personal ex-
perience that made it a treat to

messed a growing conviction of
the worth of the average man.
Hence the widespread revulsion
against the mania and killing
so prevalent in the industrial
world. The toll of killed and
wounded is as follows: $4,000
killed, and 100000 wounded
each year. That is to say,
every hour 232 workman are
killed or injured. If we rekon
on the basis of 800 working days
of eight hours each, the figures
mean a workman killed every
4 minutes, and a injured work.
man over 4 seconds, If
all the facts were known it is
safe to say that the annual
deaths from industrial accidents
reach the appalling proportions
of $4,000 each year. Statistics
show that Montana has the
highest morality of any state
in the union, namely, 129 for
each 100, 900 population.
How can this dreadful loss
and sorrow be reduced? To
answer this question some of
the brightest minds in present
day industry have inaugurated
the Safety First" crusade, al
together the most creditable
enterprise to the brain and
heart of America that has ap-
peared for many a day.
Without knowing the facts
we are too inclined to harsh
criticism, very frequently at
taching blame where it does not
belong. Rather than whole
sale denunciation of railroads
| for wrecks and disaster, let us
once in a while, ask ourselves
how we may assist these great
agents Of modem life and hap
piness in safeguarding the lives
of their armies of employees,
as well as the lives of the ever
increasing army of those who
travel.
Accidents. however, are not
confined to railroad travel. In
deed, to those acquainted with
the the facts, it is known that
one is safer on the railroad than
by any other means of travel.
Accidents are constantly oc-
curing on the farm, in the
home, on the streets of our
cities towns, and villages-ac-
cidents whose only excuse is
carelessness. Order, system,
discipline, in the home and the
school will 60 far to educate a

out orders.

OUT ORDERS.
The swiftness of the age in
which we are living teaches the
supreme lesson of Sobrlety; and
this does not mean moderate
drinking, but total abstinence
from all intoxicants. If modern
life is to be safe for it's members
there must be sobriety. Every
one of us needs to have all his
faculties about him, the demand
for efficiency is so severe, and
terrible. Whether one drives a
locomotive. a team, or an auto,
or whether he is the modest pc,
destrian trying to get out oil
the argument is the same-he
needs to be sober. This is a
gasoline age: booze and gasoline
don't mix.
We haven't gotten far enough
along in the evolutionary pro-
cess to expect masculinity to
give up the weed; yet it is no
secret the damage done by half
lighted cigars and cigarettes
careleSSly tossed aside. One
illustration will suffice. Every
one is familiar with the burn
ing mines of Pennsylvania. For
fifty years or more these coal
mines have been burning, defy
ing all efforts to put them out.
Vast acre of the best coal in the
world have given their treasures
to the winds. Miners have
gone to their doom, entire towns
have been wiped out, from the
fire now engages the heart of
the coal bed. But still the fire
burns. Still it takes a toll in
human life. Still fortunes are
being spent to save the veins
yet untouched. How did the
fire originate? it is said, from a
miners pipe.
Am l my brothers keeper"
This question, Scornfully asked
by the first murderer, can be
answered in only one way.
The New Testament gives the
answer: 1--WE are members one
of another" We are inextrica-
cab)y bound together in t h e
great bundle of life. No one
can recklesSly. throw away or
waste his life without injuring
all the rest of us.
Join the ranks of the safety
enthusiasts today, so that the
record of the decade will be
written not in the blood of the
of the neediessly killed and
wounded, but in the shining
letters of new achievement in
the safeguarding of human life
and limb, and in the raising of
standard of which all Ameri-
oans will be proud.

Let's Observe
Fourth of July
Now is the Time to Plan
for a Real, Old-Time
Celebration

Cut Bank should begin at
once to plan a celebration of the
Fourth of July. 1t is three
years since Cut Bank celebrated
independence Day. If we take
action early, it is quite probable
that other towns in this section
would be governed by this ac-
tion, since Cut Bank has been
generous in times past in aiding
neighbor towns in promoting
successful celebrations.
This is the year to give vent
to our patriotic impulses. We
should turn our thoughts for at
least a day from the somewhat
sordid vocation of ringing the
cash register to a consideration
of our beloved America, stand
ing out as the greatest and freesl
nation of the world and alert to
defend it's freedom and honor
at any cost.
So let's arrange for an explo
sion of ammunition at peep O.
day, t o release our pent-up
patriotism, f or patriotic out
bursts of melody by the recent
lY the recently reorganized Cut
Bank band, a patriotic Grafton
and patriotic songs for a big
program of field and street
sports. to satisfy all our desires
for a real "ye olden day" Fourth
of July celebration.
What do you think of the
idea, Neighbor? If you think
favorably, see your neighbors,
talk it over and then lst us nee {
and make definite arrangements.
