TELL WORLD ABOUT
MONTANA CLIMATE
LEO FAUST SAYS THIS STATE
DOES NOT ADVERTISE ITS
FINE WINTERS ENOUGH
Fact That About Only Weather News
Sent Out From Montana Is About
Occasional Bad Storms Is Real
Handicap in Oil Development, He
Declares.

Zone of the things which the
world ought to know is that Montana
is not a land of ice and snow" said
Leo Faust, president of the Metro
politan Petroleum Company, who re-
Gently returned from a trip into the
oil fields of Fergus county and where
his company has holdings. I'VE all
know that in all northern countries
the thermometer gets below zero and
this state is no exception to the rule.
And sometimes it gets well down in
the low levels, but those of us who
have lived in this state for any length
of time also know that the operating
ally long and that generally, taking
the twelve months of the year as
they come and go there is a COMPARE
lively short time to be deducted be-
cause of extreme weather.
"The trouble with this feature of
our development is that every time a
low level is reached in some thermo-
meter some one sends this informa-
ton all over the country and folks
on the outside get the notion that
the most of us live in snow huts. APP
parently no attention is paid to send
ing out information about the pleas
ant features of the weather in this
state, and so there is nothing, so far
as the outsider is concerned, to go by
except the reports made at rare in
tervals when the thermometer makes
some low registration.
Weather Is Important
There is no getting away from
the fact that this is a real handicap
in the development of the state. And
this is particularly true at this stage
in our affairs when we are just en-
tering upon what many of us believe
to be the greatest development since
the discovery of gold in the sixties.
] mean the oil industry. Essentially,

vival of business in the spring, and
he declared that his road was arrang-
ing to give the best railway service
possible.
Constructive Act
Reviewing the difficulties that the
railroads have encountered, Mr.. Don
nelly declared that "a new era of
transportation was dawning" and he
praised the Esch-Cummins bill as "a
great constructive piece of legisla-
tion," because it provided for coop
GRAFTON between railroads instead of
the former cut-throat competition"
and because the bill recognized the
right of railroads to make a fair re-
turn on investment.
The recent rate increases have not
yielded the revenue which was ex-
pected, partly because a few states
have not concurred in the interstate
rate which was based on the total
tonnage and travel in the United
States, he declared. He expressed
however, in the para
mountcy of the United States over
the states" but declared that the con-
we're exceptionally interesting
becase they we're the most important
of state rights since the bred
Scott controversy.
Promises Extensions
When Mr.. Donnelly was asked if
the railroads were prepared to make
extensions if congress passed recla-
nation measures which would result
considerable settlement in Mon
tana and other western states, Mr..
Donnelly said:
1--WE will certainly keep up with
the settlers"
The Northern Pacific railway will
also do everything possible to develop
the oil prospects of Montana, Don
nelly declared, and has already is
sued permits for drilling in certain
in the state.
Speaking of the changed condi-
lions brought about by the war,
President Donnelly said:
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-12-30

"a new era of transportation is
dawning. Affairs have moved so ra-
pidly in the last three years hat it
is difficult to realize the transforma-
lions which have been made n the
railroad world.
No Disparagement
Three years ago, during the emer-
gency of the war, the president of
the United States took over the COM
plete control of the railroads and
such control was continued for &c
months. No disposition exists to crit
icise or disparage the action. He
had a large problem and a great res
possibility. 1t would be churlish and
indefensible to criticise what was
done.
However, as soon as the war was
over, there developed a general dis
satisfaction with federal control. The
sentiment of the business interests
was almost unanimous against Mr..
McAdoo's recommendation for the
continuance of federal operation for
five years. Congress, in response to
the insistent demand for the return
of the railroads to private ownership,
enacted the Esch-Cummins bill, the
great transportation act of 1920.
The bill has been praised as the
greatest piece of constructive legisla-
tion in so years. How far it deserves
that encomium, rests on the laps of
the gods. No one can tell at the
present time.
Laws Were Repressive
Previous to the enactment of that
law, all legislation concerning the
railroads had been r~epressive. The
laws were full of prohibitions, tell
ing the railroads. what they must not
do, under certain penalties.
Provision for the consolidation
and cooperation of railroads, some
thing previously prohibited, is a
great change in the policy of the law.
1t provides for the lame ducks the
branch railroads which are strug-
Cling against losses.

from a wilderness a center known
equally for its homes and its for
ward march in the world of COM
merce.
Thousands Took Part
Thousands of people crowded the
court house lawn and the streets at
Senator Gibson's last birthday party,
which was also his last public ap-
~pearance.
Paris Gibson was born at Brown
field, Oxford county, Maine, on July
1, 1889. His paternal grandfather,
Timothy Gibson, was an English sol
der who served in the French colon
ial wars and later came to the Amer1-
can colonies. His maternal grand
father was a soldier in the continent
tai armies, served at the battle OF
Saratoga and was present at the sur
of Burgoyne.
Abel Gibson, father of Paris Glib
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-12-30

son, was born in New Hampshire and
was a farmer and lumberman.
Paris Gibson was graduated from
old Bowdoin college at Brunswick,
Me-, in the class of 1851. Soon after
his graduation he was elected to the
Maine legislature from Oxford coun-
ty where he served until his fathers
death compelled him to return to his
home to run the farm.
In 1858 Paris Gibson removed to
st. Anthony Falls, Minnesota, which
is now Minneapolis. In association
with William G.. Eastman he built the
Cataract mill, the first flour mill
there. In the panic of 1873 business
reverses hit him heavily and in 1879
he went to Fort Benton, Montana,
associated himself with Henry Nc
Donald and engaged in the sheep
business.
The Great Falls of the Missouri

the development of oil is outdoor
work. Good weather conditions
mean a lot in the oil game. And
those who follow that line of activ-
ity pay a very great heed, indeed, to
weather. And for the purpose of ac-
q~uainting the country with the real
facts as they are about the weather
in Montana every newspaper in the
state and every commercial organi-
cation ought to use every possible
means at their hand to let the facts
be known.
"Ln the oil fields one finds fever
ish activity. There are now 10 pro-
ducing wells. All of these, except
one, are said to be better than thou
sand barrel wells. The oil is the
finest found, being 81 per cent gaso-
line, the kind of oil the world is
searching for.
Is Marvellous Field
All oil men say the Cat Creek field
has already reached a point in it's de-
velopment which makes it the great
est field ever found in the history of
oil in the world, quantity and quality
in the same wells taken into the reck-
oning. New rigs are constantly be-
ing put up, the area of the field to
be tried out is becoming more extern
sive and without going into a long
story, now quite we'll known by our
people, Montana is rapidly coming in
as one of the great oil states.
"When it is recalled that the first
discovery in this field was in Febru-
airy and that the second well was not
foI1nd until in AupuSt Of this wear
that there are now two pipe lines
from the wells to Winnett through
which are being pumped about 5000
barrels, worth very nearly a half
million dollars every month, that an
other pipe line is to be strung in
January and another later in the
spring, that the potential production
is now 10000 barrels a day, which
would go to market if the pipes were
there to take it and that by midsum-
mer there will probably be not less
than 100 rigs drilling for new wells,
some idea of the rapid growth of this
industry can be had. And what it
means to the state to bring in all of
this wealth is apparent.
80, let's all get together and tell
the world all about the weather in
Montana, to the end that if any are
afraid to come because they are fear
full of the cold they may be made
acquainted with the fact that in this
state oil operations can be carried on
very nearly during the entire twelve
months and that generally Montana
has the finest all-year climate of any
state in the union"

NEW HEAD OF NORTHERN PACIFIC SYSTEM
AND WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT CONDITIONS

Charles Donnelly, the new presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific railway,
is a former Montana man. having
held the position Of assistant division
counsel 1T Helena for many years,
and he is thoroughly informed con-
corning Montana and its resources
and needs. Because he knows the
west and Is a great believer in Mon
tana's future, President Donnelly has
pledged himself to give the people of
this state all possible aid and
agement in the development of its
industries. At this time he is espe-
cially interested in Montana's new
oil field and the development of new
oil districts in the state next year.

ton of Senator Gibson in 1882. He
surveyed the resources of the sur
rounding country and became more
and more impressed with its posi-
bilities of water power development,
coal, grazing and agriculture.
Laid Plan Before Jim Hill
The plan for a city of Great Falls
was laid before James j. Hill by
Senator Gibson in 1884. Two years
were spent in acquiring title to the
townsite and to coal lands. In 1887
the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
railroad, now a portion of the Great
Northern system, was completed to
Great Falls.
On August IS, 1858, Mr.. Gibson
was married to Miss Valeria G.
Sweat, daughter of DR.. Jesse P. and
Eliza w. Sweat, who was born in
Brownsfield and was Mr.. Gibson's
junior by nine years. Mrs. Gibson
died about "a years ago.
The office of United States senator
was conferred on Mr.. Gibson by the
Montana legislature of 1901, when
the twenty-third ballot broke a long
deadlock.
At this session the Legislature had
two United States senators to elect,
and upon the first ballot it selected
Senator w. A. Clark to succeed Sena-
tor Thomas A. Carter for a six-yeaF
term.
There was a bitter contest as to
whom should be named as Senator
Clark's colleague for a term of four
years, the fight, for the most part,
being between Hon. H. L. Frank and
Hon. John MacGinnis, also both of
Butte.
This struggle kept up until the
last night of the legislative session,
and actually was not decided until
about 4 o'clock in the morning of the
day after the term of the Legislature
had expired by limitation.
1t was at this critical time and
when it looked as though Montana
would be left with only one member
of the upper house, that Mr.. Gibson's
name was presented and he was
by a majority of one vote.
1t is a matter of historic record
that the senator had so little hope
of being chosen that although he was
In Helena at the time, he had gone to
bed hours before this last vote was
and his friends awakened him
up out of a sound sleep to apprise
him of the honor which had come
10 him, and he was so surprised that
1T first he was inclined to believe
hat an effort was being made to
play a practical joke on him.
During his senatorial term he won
he esteem and respect of all bis col
and was recognized as a
authority in the senate upon

listing, and for the establishment of
a complete new plant when the total
number of patients exceeds 1900.
He quotes national authorities in the
request for an additional plant for
more than 1900 patients and says
that insanity is slightly on the in
crease throughout the world.
Needs Are Outlined
During 1919 and 1920, $1,000
was spent in erecting a hospital and
infirmary building for men, admin
istration building, concrete tunnel
for heat, water and electric lines and
a new water line for domestic sup
ply. The old office was made into
a laboratory.
The institution now needs II new
buildings and in the order of their
Importance they are listed here as
woman's dormitory, 60 bed capacity;
mems dormitory, 100 bed capacity;
second story addition to commissary;
women's dormitory for patients and
employees, so patient capacity; new
morgue; residence for employees;
building for imDeciles and idiots;
stables, machinery sheds, silos and
extension of swinery; community re-
creation hall; two boilers for heat
ing plant; laundry building; new
hospital. The cost of these improve
ments is estimated at from $780,
900 to $38O,OO0.
Appropriation Inadequate
In speaking of costs of operation
for the last two years, DR.. Scanland
says:
"The maintenance appropriation
made by the last legislature for this
institution has proved inadequate be-
cause of the increased cost of all
commodities"
The report includes comparative
tables showing the cost and percent
ages of increase during the years
1917, 1918, 1919 and 1920. of food
stuffs, supplies and labor. A sum-
mary of these tables shows that In
1917 there were 120 employees for
1850 patients treated during the
year and the number of employees in
creased four per cent in 1918 with
a two per cent increase in patients
to 1851 patients. In 1920 there
were 140 employees for 1,766 patients
who underwent treatment during the
year.
Same in Other States
DR.. Scanland says that from re-
ports, similar institutions throughout
the country are also having financial
difficulties. He quotes the national
committee for mental hygiene, which
of 142 state hospitals: "In all
but five states a marked increase in
the per capita cost of maintenance In
1918 owe 1917 is shown. In Wyom-
ing the increase was $70.73; In
Massachusetts, $63.22; New York,
Connecticut, $4S.20; Oregon
Texas, s39.79; Montana,
s44.33."
The report also says that the state
hospital has a greater population
than all other penal institutions In
the state combined. Montana's in
population is in proportion of
one to about every 420 residents.
Expects Lowered Costs
DR.. Scanland explains that his
were more than 81 a day per
but in the budget for the next
.wo years he allows for a lowering
If costs. By maintenance he a y
lie includes all costs except those of
buildings.

PARIS GIBSON, FOUNDER OF GREAT FALLS,
DIES I'M 91ST YEAR; STORY OF HIS LIFE

Paris Gibson, ''father of Great
Falls" died last week in Great Falls
at the residence of his son, Theodore
Gibson. The man who IS years ago
laid out the city which has since been
his home, who was it's first mayor,
and whose greatest pride was the
trees he had planted, the boulevard
ing he designed and the parks he
persuaded the city to buy, had been
gradually failing in strength for sew
eral months.
Since the celebration last July in
honor of Senator Gibson's ninetieth
birthday, when Great Falls people
paid honor to him as the city's first
citizen, he had not been outside of
his home. For the last four or five
days before his death he had been
growing p~erceptibly weaker but each
day he insisted upon leaving his bed
and dressing.
Members of Family
Members of his family who survive
him are his son, Theodore Gibson and
Mrs. Theodore Gibson; their SOL Don
aid Gibson and his wife of Great
Falls; their daughter, Mrs. Dorothy
Gibson Wright, now in Italy; Mrs.
Philip Gibson of Great Falls and her
daughters, Mrs. Louise G. Leland of
Great Falls and Mrs. Valeria Burns
of Chicago. There are also eight
great grandchildren, Marjorie, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Donald Glib

Wright; Albert and Mary, children

City Delighted to Honor Him
Great Falls has ever been delight
ed in doing honor to it's parent, but
few greater distinctions were shown
Senator Gibson by the city than on
his ninetieth birthday, July 1, 1920.
Upon that date a tableau was given
on the court house lawn commemor-
ating the discovery of the falls of the
Missouri by Lewis and Clark and the
subsequent pilgrimage across the
plains of a band of later pioneers of
whom Mr.. Gibson was one.
Ninety children passed in line be-
fore Mr.. Gibson and presented him
flowers, one for each year of his life.
The ceremony was given as an ex-
preston of the sentiment felt to-
wards the man who first envisioned a
city on the site now occupied by
Great Falls, anticipated its place
among the future municipalities of
the west, made possible the system
Identification now finding express

Last week President Donnelly paid
