PREDICTS ACTIVITY
in NEW OIL FIELDS
Lewistown Geologist Impressed
With Structures North of
Great Falls.

Great activity in the newly discov-
cred oil fields north Of Great Falls in
Teton and Toole counties is predicted
by Gordon Campbell, consulting .ge-
o1ogist from Lewistown, who has just
returned from survey of the oil bear
ing structures north Of Shelby in
Toole county.
According to Mr.. Campbell, geol-
ogists believe the great structure
known as the Sweet Grass arch, 200
miles wide, extending from the Can
adian border to point south of Great
Falls, is an oil formation, encouraging
the belief that new field larger than
the Cat Creek field in Fergus county
will eventually be shown.
Oil Indications in all the smaller
structures are very favorable, Mr..
Campbell said.
Indications are that the structure
around Shelby will be productive oil
region declared Mr.. Campbell Fri
day. "The structure which has just
been discovered there shows very
promising signs of oil and those with
holdings in the district anticipate great
drilling activity soon.
''The prospects in the Choteau field
are also very favorable" said Mr..
Campbell. MANY drilling rigs have
been shipped into that territory and
more are being added all the time.
Oil men of the Choteau district be-
Geve that there will be considerable
work started there in the spring"

we wish to say that we read with in

proposition during this kind of roast

all right to mention the fact that

further in theearly part Of last week.
It was "big meetin week, and with
out going further into details about
the weather, we had circulated and
signed a petition that all morning
services at least should be coatless
so long as the weather man remem-
bered US so warmly, and, of course,
we excused the preacher from sign
ing, and later for taking off his coat.

WHITE CRIMINALS
0UTNUMBER NEGRO
NEARLY FOUR TIMES AS MANY IN
STATE PENITETIARY.
Mostly Young Men.
SiXty-two Added to Population Since
Last Year, According to Fig
ures of G. {. Williams.

White men in the state peniten-
tiary outnumber negro men nearly
four to one, there being 15l white
men and only AZ negro men. The
majority of these white men are also
young men. Last year about this
time there were SO white men and
146 negro men, making an addition
of 62 more white men to the popu-
lation in only one year.
These figures are according to Sec
retary G. Croft Williams of the state
board of public welfare, who made
an unofficial visit to the state peni-
Tertiary last week.
There are also five white women
and 43 negro women in the state
penitentiary at the present time. Last
year there were 25 negro women and
three white women
Negro men are shifted from the
penitentiary to the state farms when
crop conditions demand it, but the
white men are kept at the peniten-
tiary.
Mr.. Williams says that he was par
ticularly struck with the number of
young men in the prison. These
young men are healthy and appear
to be of normal intelligence, Mr..
Williams says. 'At the time of life
when they should be building up
businesses and homes and in other
way doing their part in the affairs
of their communities, they are serv-
ing time in state prison for steal
ing, killing, or some other grave Of
fenses," he says. MANY have been
startled at the idea of crime wave
going over the country. However,
there can be no doubt that for the
last year crime has increased in
South Carolina and this increase has
been much larger among the whites
than among the negroes
GAS there are thousands of youth
full soldiers at Camp Jackson and as
these are drawn from all parts of the
country and have certain per cent.
of anti-social chara cters among them,
it might be exp cted that some would
find their way to the penientiary.
Yet the growth of the white popula-
ton of the penitentiary cannot be
attributed entirely to the proximity
of the camp as there are number of
South Carolinians in it"
''It was dinner time when I visited
the institution" Mr.. Williams says,
so I went into the dining room and
kitchen. I found the fare wholesome
and we'll prepared. The inmates
showed a good spirit and no evil
dences Of having a covering atti-
tude. The humane administration of
Col. A. K. Sanders should be COM
mended."
