THIS WORKER HAS
SOME REAL LUCK
ANACONDA LABORER MAKES A
FORTUNE THROUGH FORTU-
NATE OIL INVESTMENT
Story Sounds Like an Oil Prospectus
but Is the Truth; Put Few Hun
dred Dollars Into Oil Stock and
Has Cleaned Up Over $15O,OOO;
Ex-Service Man.

From the position of an ordinary
laborer at IS day to that of hand
| ling of fortune of $4,000 was
the realization of Claude Shoemaker
of Anaconda. Shoemaker was made
aware of his good fortune while toll
| ing in the stock bins at the smelter
by a message from an eastern broker
advising him that oil stock of the
value of $4,000 had been dispos-
ed of and requesting him to come
east at once, so that the deal could
be consummated by October 20.
Shoemaker Immediately drew his
time, which he invested in a railroad
ticket, and left IT, city.
Shoemaker, who is native of the
Deer Lodge valley, has been making
Anaconda his home for several years
When America entered the war, he
left with the first Deer Lodge coun-
ty contingent and saw service over
seas. 1t was while he was in the
service that he conceived the idea
of investing his earnings in stocks.
The nucleus of his present for
tune was $500, which represented
back pay from the army. This he
invested in Kansas oil stock, which
he continued to buy with what he
was able to save from his earnings
from work at the smelter and in the
hayfields in the Big Hole basin.
When he opened the envelope con-
tanning the news of his good fortune
he did not give vent to his citation by
tossing his hat in the air and start
ing to edo up" the town, but simply
drew his time, informed few intim-
ate friends of his luck and left town.
To his friends he ventured the in
formation that he intends investing
part of his money in ranch in East
ern Oregon that he has had In mind
for several years.
II know more about ranch work
than anything else, and the one l
have In mind will make a dandy
home for dad and me-" he said.

Fergus Corn Acreage

County Agent Carl Peterson esti-
mates that the acreage in Fergus
county planted to corn during the
past season was about $4,000 acres,
probably 10000 acres or more of this
being in the Valentine and Winnett
districts, where remarkably fine
crops were harvested. Five years
ago corn crops of commercial value in
this county were hardly thought Of.
Practically the whole of the big yield
in Fergus the past season has been
consumed at home, but the industry
will probably attain such proportions
in another year that marketing OF
Fergus county corn will result East
ern Fergus will have magnificent
exhibit at the state corn show to be
held at Miles City in November.
