Montana Oil and Gas Review
BREAKERS AHEAD FOR
ILEWISTOWN BOOSTERS
Roundup People Are Positive that Pine
Line Will Come to Mussel.
shell County.

Roundup, Dec. 25.-It is announced
on reliable authority that the Illinois
Pipe Line company will start immedi.
ately to build a pipe line from the Cat
Greek fields through Ragged Point to
a point on the Milwaukee railroad,
which will probably be Milestone, and
all oil controlled by the Standard in
terests will be shipped by this methad
to the main line Of the railroad for
transmission to their refineries.
This means that for the greater part
Cat Greek oil will be sent to Mussel-
shell county and that refineries when
built will be located here instead of
Lewistown and other Fergus county
points. BY piping oil by this route
for IS miles to the main line of the
Milwaukee. a rail haul of approx
mately $50 miles is saved, including
two transfer points at Lewistown and
Harlowton.
In connection with report the rumors
that the railroad from Billings to
Shepherd will be continued to some
point in this county on the Milwaukee
road are of interest. This has been
persistently reported, and it is also
said that several ranchers in the Bull
mountains, but a few miles from the
proposed line, have been cutting large
amounts of ties on contract, presum-
ably for this extension. The road as
proposed would reach the new coal
fields south of Carpenter creek and
would give the Northern Pacific ac-
cess to the oil fields by a direct line

TO OCCUPY PRMINENT
PLACE IN ASSEMBLY

Oil legislation will occupy a promi-
nent place on the program of the
state legislature when it meets in
January, according to Senator Ed
ward Booth of Baker, Fallon coun-
ty.
Regulations to govern refneries,
pipe lines and oil development work
for oil prospecting must be devised
by the legislature, he stated, as we'll
as legislation looking toward the
furthering of ranchers' interests.
One of the difficult problems of the
legislature, he said twill be to frame a
law for the leasing of state lands for
oil development work. Under the en-
abling act, as passed by congress and
as accepted by the state. leases on
state lands must not be for a longer
period than five years and the state
courts have held that a renewal clause
in a lease is, in practice, as lease for
the longest period which it might run
if the option were exercised.
Difficult Problem.
"This makes a difficult problem be-
cause under this law when a lease ex-
pires it must again be offered to the
highest bidder. No man or company
would take a five year lease for the
purpose of oil development, with the
prospect that at the end of that time
he would be forced to bid in an open
auction to obtain the products of his
exploration work. A law which would
allow the one who does development
work to receive the benefit must be
framed. One which permitted a per-
son to renew a lease if he had done a
certain amount of development work
and which would prevent renewal if no
development work had been done
would apparently be fair.
Such a law would be particularly
to the interests of the state, for
there is no doubt that there are great
quantities of oil in Montana, and the
usual eighth royalty to the state if
these lands are developed would mean
the greatest source of revenue Mon
tana could have"

ROUNDUP CITIZENS FURNISH
FUNDS FOR COMPLETING WELL

Roundup, Dec. 26.-Since the strik-
ing of an u~nmistakable oil sand in
the Van Duzen well at a depth of
2,040 feet, nothing further has been
done owing to lack of finances to
complete the work. This week the
Roundup Commercial club solicited
its members for funds for this CON-
pletion and in three hours $500 was
subscribed which is to be used to drill
the well into the sand and case off
the water. The baler brought up sam
Piles of oil stained sand and about an
inch of oil on top of the water in the
baler.
AS this was brought up through a
column of water 1000 feet high with
pressure sufficient to prevent any oil
from coming to the top, it is believed
that when the water is cased off a
well of considerable size will result.
The hole is now 5 3-16 inches and this
will be straight reamed to to a diamet-
er of SIS inches, the casing of that
size being first pulled. When the hole
is reamed $50 feet to the bottom, 5 3-16
casing will be set at the bottom of the
hole casing off all water which is 70
feet above, and the we'll drilled in. This
procedure should be completed in two
weeks should nothing unforeseen occur.
Alberta Block Coal company drill
ing in the adjoining section is also re-
ported within % feet of the first Van
Duzen sand and is expected in within
two or three DAYS.

pay. his friend a farwell visit, a
Christmas visit. AS he left Havre it
was showing slightly. The mercury
was down around zero and it was
growing colder.
The day was hazy, the night broke
early, it was hard to see far ahead. AS
he travelled at a good speed evidently,

Gated the force of the crash that
proved the beginning of the end of the
career of one of the most picturesque
characters of the frontier days.
Those who found the car saw, from
the blood, from the disturbed snow,
how he had crawled out after pieces
OF apple box, how he had started on
his hands and knees up the river bank.
BY the blood they trailed his course.
1t was Christmas eve, and while the
world repeated the story of the shep-
herds and angels, of the star of Beth
elem, Long George, alone, bleeding,
freezing, was trying desperately to
crawl to refuge. There was a light
snow in the air. A sharp wind was
sweeping from the north. Occasional
ly a star peeped through the clouds,
and perhaps he thought too, of the
star of Bethlehem and that first Christ
mas eve.
A mile was as far as he could crawl.
The bones protruding through the
flesh in the shattered leg, let out
much blood; his weakness overcame
him. The cold wind, growing ever
colder bit him sharply. He must have
lain there for a long time before with
his pocket knife he opened the artery
of his throat.
Nobody Missed Him.
Nobody missed Long George. 1t
seem. Much of his life had been spent
on the range; he knew the hills and
plains of the region for miles as few
since the Indians have known them,
and so nobody had a troubled thought
about his safety. unless it was the
little school teacher up near the
Dominion border.
The succeeding day and night
brought more snow. The flakes sifted
a white pail over the body of Long
George as he lay dead under the stars.
Ranchers stumbled upon the body
Sunday night.
An inquest owe his body was held
yesterday in Havre. The body had
been brought into the city. Francis
had no relatives in Montana, it is said.

LANDS NEAR HELENA TO
BE EXPLORED FOR OIL

Helena,-Leases on several hun
dred acres of farm land in the Prick
ly Pear valley, situated five to eight
miles northeast of this city, have been
given by farmers to men who have
guaranteed to start drilling for oil by
July l, 1921 and to drill to a depth Of
at least 1000 feet.
The leases now taken are held with
a view Of securing sufficient acreage to
warrant development in this field. The
men taking leases say they want at
least 1000 acres. Everett Simmons,
farmer who operates 160 acres, says
the leases have been taken on a strip
of ground one section wide and tree
long, lying west of the county road be-
teween Lake Helena and East Helena.
The leases were obtained by Luther
Hauberg of a local company. MI.
Hauberg said he is not ready to divulge
identity of the interests he is repre-
senting.
Land owners are guaranteed the US
ual one-eighth of all oil produced.

SEABURY THE PEOPLES
CANDIDATE.

If YOU would break loose from the
dirty politics that have dcfiled our
county government for SO long, then
vote for r. w. Scabury.
Judge Scabury was urged to be-
come a candidate by hundreds Of vot-
crs from every part Of the county
men and women who wish with all
their heart TO break loose from the
Wells crowd. These petitions were
presented to him long before the San
Benito meeting. The Herald NOM
mated him for chairman long before
the San Benito meeting.
The Herald believes that the men
and women who signed those petitions
to Judge Seabury arc men and wom-
en- of honor, men and women who are
honest in their desire to clean up
Cameron county politics. They will
stand by their candidate. They will
keep faith. They will vote for Sea-
bury and will urge their friends to
vote for him. They are in honor
bound to do so.
ncse are men ana women OF intel
ligcnce. who cannot be influenced by
the dirty canards which are being
scattered all over the county. They
refuse to believe the vile, slanderous
lies against Scabury that are being
published in these circulars, and in
the Wells organ, the Brownsville SEN
tinel. Lie after lie has been publish
ed by that sheet against Seabury.
Slander. falsehood and perjury have
been resorted to by il, but the honest
voters Of Cameron county know the
methods of the Sentinel too well 10
be influenced by il. We should not
be surprised at any foul, seand&lous
attack such a paper might make at the
last moment, when il believes il too
late for it's victim to refute its lies.
But lie, the pcrjurers beware. The
penitentiary is their goal. They will
be looked after in time.

ment. Who knows better than YOU
the brand of county government We
have had at the hands of the Well,
ring for many years?
What taxpayer GAN tell how much
money has been collected by thi,
county for taxes? We all know the
total is enormous.
What taxpayer Of this county
knows how these many thousands OF
! dollars Of the peoples money has
been spent?
Do you know?
Taxpayers Of Cameron county, why
did the county refuse to render an
accounting when County Attorney
Oscar Dancy asked for an audit of
the books?
There was reason.
There is reason why the taxpay-
crs Of the county are mulcted Of their
hard-earncd dollars for taxes. and yet
are forbidden to know how the money
is spent. The Wells ring knows what
il has done with your money, but il is
not going 10 tell you.
Voters of Cameron County, tomo--
row will be the first real chance you
have had in forty years to break
away from the domination of this COR
rupt ring. You do not need to be told
that YOUR county has been under cor
rupt and evil powers for many years.
Every intelligent voter Of the county
knows it. But do you realize that to-
morrow's primary election will be
your chance to dislodge the Wells
forces? Yes, and il will be your last
chance for two long years. Every
business man should realize this. We
appeal to every business man among
you to vote tomorrow.
The people Of this county do not
need TO be assured that The Herald is
on the side of clean and honest gov
crument. II broke with the Wells
ring years ago. because il would not
submit to Wells domination. And
the Wells ring has been The Herald's
bitter and unreicnting enemy for
many years, and has fought this pa
per hard for many years.
Believing that this paper has the
confidence and the respect of every
intelligent and respectable citizen of
'hc countv, we appeal to these men
and women to stand by The Herald in
this effort to break up the old ring.

Available returns show 739 were east

was lost because Of a two-thirds vote

Most Of the precincts were in fa-
