SOAP CREEK LEASES
BRING HIGH PRICES

Billings, March 26.-Development of
the Soap Creek fields brings to light
another manc of oil development,
which gives hint of the possibilities of
this great frontier of the industry.
A few years ago Lawrence Judd, a
former Billings business man, bought
800 acres of land on Soap Creek, near
where the Western States company
made its strike last month. He paid
about $4,000 for the land. Not long
ago, Mr.. Judd sold a lease, providing
that he should retain on~e-eighth of the
il production from the land as royalty,
for $4,000 and two weeks ago yester-
day he sold a like lease on an adjoin-
ing 80 acres for about $4,000. Thus
he still retains all oil rights on 80
acres of the original tract, is $4,000
richer in pocket and will be paid for
one-eighth of whatever production the
land yields.
The Judd tract is about one mile
from the discovery tract of the West
ern States company, and it is said lies
on top of the axis of the Soap Greek
anticline as biologists approximate it.
The Judd tract includes the south
west quarter of section 2, township 7,
south of range 80 east, the west half of
the northwest quarter, the southeast
quarter of the northwest quarter and
the southwest quarter of the southeast
quarter in the same section.

ASKS COUNTIES
FOR DATA ON ROADS

Helena, March 26.-Commissioners
of every county in Montana are ask
ed to furnish the state highway COM
mission data on the status of each fed
eral aid project in each county and if
any new work is sought for the 1921
season, in a questionable which is be-

CONTRACTS FOR FOUR
DEVILS BASIN WELLS

Roundup, March 26.-Contracts have
been let to the Jay See Drilling com
pany for the sinking of four wells il
the Devils Basin and on at least two
of them work is to start Immediately
Two of the contracts were signed by
J. B. Watson, who vas in the city this
week from his home in Alberta, and
two were made with the Alberta Block
Coal company.
One of the Watson wells will be
sunk in section % and the other in
section 26, while both Of the A. B. c.
wells will be in &c. Mr.. Watson also
gave an option on a contract for the
third well. 1t is the purpose of these
operators to bring in production as
rapidly as possible and prepare for it's
marketing at the earliest possible date.
Another we'll will be put down by
the Tri-City as an off-sett to the A
berta Block Coal company discovery
well. Arrangements for beginning the
work is no win progress. Other wells
in the DEVILS Basin will be drilled by
the Tri-City at a later date.
The string of 31@ Inch casing for the
Van Duzen company was expected to
reach Roundup today and will be
hauled to the well at once. The pack

not be launched on anything like the
war time scale when each community
had its chapter workroom where wo-
men assembled daily to turn out sur
glcal dressings and countless other ar
tlcles needed for the American Expe-
dictionary Forces. Unlike the same
service in war time, there will be little

will be urged to utilize any cast-off
articles of clothing which by the use of
specifications of the Red Cross a be

these destitute children.
The chief phases of the effort being
made today for the salvation of Eu-
ropes children are the feeding pro-
gram of the European Relief Council,
of which Herbert Hoover is chairman.
and the medical welfare service of the
American Red Cross. The plan to pro-
vide clothing supplements these acti-
vltles and is held absolutely essential
II the benefits of these two operations
are to be fully realized.
The chapter will be enabled to Sc
lect, insofar as transportation facil-
tiles of Europe permit, the country to
which it would prefer it's product to
be sent. The garments will be appor-
toned by countries in the order of the
greatest need as follows: Poland, Aus

EXPECT HEAVY
TOURIST TRAVEL
Officers of Roosevelt Highway Making
Preparations for Helpful and
Valuable Service.

In anticipation of an exceptionally
heavy tourist travel on the Theodore
Roosevelt International Highway this
coming season, plans are being shaped
by the officials to provide every facil-
ity and service for the traveller at ev-
cry point on the three thousands miles
of highway.
From Portland, Maine, to Portland,
Oregon, every city and village will be
prepared to give the visitors not only
a hearty welcome, but material as
s%istance, such as road-logs, maps, in
formation on hotels, resorts. points of
interest. camping sites, and the hun
dred and one things that the tourist in
a strange country will want to know,
according to A. w. Tracy, general sec
rotary of the Theodore Roosevelt In
ternational Highway association, at
Duluth.
To line up the eastern section of the
highway and to perfect these plans
Mr.. Tracy is on a trip thru upper and
lower Michigan, Ontario, New York,
Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
Conferences with the various state di-
vision officials will be held in each
state; and it is hoped at these confer
ences to complete all the necessary de-
tails for the summers work for this
section of the highway. A similar trip
will be made to the western division
shortly after Mr.. Tracy's return to
Duluth.
Most of the preliminary work has
already been done by mail from the
Duluth headquarters, and Mr.. Tracy's
trip will be more in the nature Of
checking up and assisting in complet-
ing the various programs which have
been outlined by the various state or
CARNATIONS.
A general meeting of the officers
and directors of the Ontario division
will be held at London. Ontario, March
3lst. A general meeting of the Lower
Michigan organization, and election of
officers. will be held in Detroit about
the first of April. At Ogdensburg, n.
IT,, a conference will be held with dl-
vision officers of this state, n ar
engagements made for an issue OF the
new magazine devoted to New York
State. Inspection of certain sections
OF highway will also be made while in
New York. Following this a meeting
will be held with the Vermont officials
at Burlington, Vt. The New Hamp-
shire general meeting will be held at
Manchester, and a trip over the nigh
way Will also be arranged while tnere:

MILES CITY TO HAVE
A NEW OIL JOURNAL

Miles City, March 28.-Plans for the
publication of an oil p%ournal, to serve
as the organ of the chamber of com
merce oil bureau, were considered yes
terday by the members of the oil COM
mittee. The committee definitely de-
cided to go ahead with the plans and
the initial issue will probably appear
about the middle of April. The edi-
torial work will be handled by mem
bers of the oil committee.
Arrangements have been made for
the employment of a man to take care
of the business of the publication and
to assist in the management of the oil
bureau. An effort will be made to
furnish up to date and accurate news
of the developments in the oil fields.
The new man will also act as the re-
preventative of the Eastern Montana
Telephone company. The oil company
holds the belief that the oil publica-
ton will do much to bring Miles City
to the fore in regard to the oil indus
try.
Secretary Ferguson was instructed
to arrange for a big sign to be placed
on the local refinery pointing out that
the local plant is the first to be erect
ed in Montana.
Orders for the wireless equipment to
be erected in the Cat Greek field were
sent out last night by night letter.
Sufficient funds have been subscribed
for the enterprise to warrant the pur-
chase of the material, it was brought
out at the meeting. The work of es-
t%ablishing wireless service will be
pushed through as rapidly as possible.

CONSTRUCTION IS
TO MOVE IN 1921
Promises that Greatest Mileage Eve,
Built Will Be Completed
This Year.

Five parallel transcontinental high
ways-duplicates Of the Lincoln high
ways-would represent the highway
construction completed in the various
states during 1920.
Approximately 10000 miles of new
improved roads were finished, accord
ing to reports sent in to the Travel
and. Transport bureau of the B. F.
Goodrich Rubber company. Estimates
from state highway engineers say that
half again and possibly double this
mileage will be completed during 1921.
Nebraska, Texas and Minnesota
were among the leaders in total mile
age of new construction. Nebraska
built 1905 miles; Texas, 1859, and
Minnesota, 911,06. Nearly every state
reports mileage under construction
equal to the total actually finished.
Many of the states were unable to sub
nit figures on highway construction.
The year 1921 is expected to be the
greatest road building year in the his
tory of the country. Handicaps such
as scarce and high-priced materials
and labor shortages will be absent this
year. A mild winter, which tended to
lessen the destruction of roads, and an
early spring, are favorable to the road
fuilding program for 1921.
The states able to furnish reports
and their mileages of complete high
way follow:

DETAILS OF THE MCCARTHY
BLOWN; EVERYBODY HAPPY

Winnett, March 27.-At four O'Clock
yesterday morning the bit pierced the
sands and brought in a heavy flow OF
oil at the Mccarthy well in section 10
1929, off-setting the Big Lehman pro-
Queer; and despite a 6O-foot cave-in
which temporarily stopped the flow.
the oil forced its way through the jam
and by four o'clock this afternoon had
risen 1000 feet in the casing.
At the present rate the oil is rising
in the casing it is estimated that she
will be over the top before morning
and that the probable production will
be in the neighborhood of not less than
800 barrels without pumping.
Mccarthy Is Happy.
Mccarthy is jubilant over his we'll
and "well" he might for he has wea-
thered all sorts Of discouragements in
bringing her to completion. He has
often been told that he was drilling on
a fault, a very encouraging piece of
to receive when you are spend
ing money fast to "make a hole"
Many accidents have happened to ham,
per and delay drilling operations,
which would have discouraged many
men. Mccarthy has never allowed
himself to become discouraged, how
ever, has kept his man steadily at the
job; and has therefore earned the re-
ward of a fine producer.

Michigan division, completing a gener.
al tour OF the eastern half of the
highway.
1t was at first intended to make the
trip by auto over the eastern section
OF the highway during the summer
months, but the extensive program of
tne various state organizations has ne
cessltated a much earlier visit, and for
this reason the sending of a scout car
over the eastern section may be post
Poned until later in the season. Mr..
tracy declares, however, that the car

$4,000 BARREL OIL
STORAGE ARRANGED

Winnett, March 27.-The Montana
Independent Pipe Line company is
erecting its $4,000 barrel supply tank
on a site about half a mile south of
the Ten Spot well. This location is an
admirable n for the purpose as the
land slopes toward it from nearly all
the producing wells and thus the oil
can be carried to the huge storage res
ervoir by gravity.
Four more carloads of pipe arrived
here yesterday and it will be laid just
as rapidly as possible. The company's
blacksmith shop is ready for business
and the cabins are built so that the
concern is now ready to begin the ac-
tual laying of pipe.
The completion of this line will be
hailed with the most intense satisfac-
ton by every Independent company in
the Cat Creek field.

MONTACAL GETS OIL
IN ITS RIVER WELL

Winnett, March 27.-What is very
encouraging to the Montacal people
and all operators in the river section is
the fact that the Montacal we'll struck
a flow of oil in the first sands yester-
day. That the amount of oil in pro-
portion to water is small does not wor-
ry the owners of the we'll inasmuch as
they did not expect any oil in the first
sands.
The fact that some oil was discov-
cred there gives them high hopes of
finding a real flow of oil in the next
sands, for which contamination they
will no doubt be fully prepared. TIC

should be an easy matter.
