New Oil Fields i'm Montana and Wy
Oming Start Big Rush.

There is a big rush on to the new
oil fields in Montana and Wyoming
where big fortunes are being made In
months by anyone fortunate enough
to secure holdings in the right com
panies. This new oil field bids fair
to rival the great oil fields of Pennsyl-
vania, the oil in Elk Basin going 81
per- cent gasoline as 1t flows from the
wells. There are over so producing
oil wells in Elk Basin, and new ones
coming in every thirty days These
wells are producing $50 to 2500 bar
rels per day. The Standard Oil com
pay has constructed a pipe line from
the field to the railroad station
FRAME, a distance of II miles, to q
large storage tank with capacity OF
10000 barrels. From there the oil Is
shipped to the large refinery at Grey
bull, Wyoming, the pipe line and
equipment costing over $250,000, which
company purchases all the oil as fast
as each new well comes in, at $500 pei

more oil for the success of this great

Permanent injury is often done

The officer gazed refectively through
the open door Of the messroom out
across the open and beyond the camp.
As far as the eye could reach there
was a scene of devastation and desola-
ton. Here and there shattered walls
of building reared themselves to
mark the spot where farmhouse, or
perhaps a village, had stood.
Occasionally the eye met little
graveyard, with its wooden crosses. In
places there still were remains of Ger
