The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1921-02-03

A decisive step toward normally
was taken last week by the Great
Northern railway in announcing it
will restore homeseekers rates to
northwest points along its line from
st. Paul. These rates have not been
in effect on any railway since they
were abolished as a val economy and
the Great Northern railway is the
first road to restore them.
Speaking of the effect of this res
toration of the h-omeseekers' rates,
E. G. Leedy, general supervisor of ag-
riculture for the Great Northern
railway said, ut means that there
will be a resumption of the influx of
homeseekers from middlewestern
states into the northwest. Our or
ganization of travelling lecturers who
take the northwest to the middle
western farmers in the form of NOV
ing pictures, s~tereopticon slides and
oral effort, cannot complete their
land missionary work until they take
these farmers to the northwest to see
the country. The restoration of the
homeseekers rates will enable the
farmers of the middle west to come
to the northwest and see with their
own eyes the opportunity that awaits
them in that fertile territory
For a little more than a one-fare
the homeseeker again can travel to
the various points and return to st.
Paul. These round trip h-omeseekers'l
rates will be effective the first and
third Tuesday each month from April
to October of this year, inclusive, to
points on the Great Northern rail-
way in North Dakota, Montana, Ida
no and Washington as far west as
Wenatchee and Oroville. There will
be no homeseekers' rates to the Can
adam northwest, as America First
is the slogan of the Great Northern
railway. On these rates there will
be a final return limit of 21 days
from the date of sale, requiring vail
dation at the destination or any in
termediate point.
Round trip fares from St. Paul and
Minneapolis will be, to Glasgow, $35;
to Malta, $3.50; to Havre, $40; to
Great Falls, L~ewistown, Broadview, !
Conrad and Shelby, $4,000; to Col
umbia Falls, Kalispell and White
$50. Corresponding fares to ;
other intermediate destinations.
The round trip h-omesoekers' rates l
rom st. Paul to North Dakota points |
Ire, New Rockford, $3.50; Devils :
Lake, $23; Minot, $25; Williston, l
In points in Minnesota between st. !
and Karroad and between !
and Hallock, the round trip
homeseekers' fare from st. Paul will 5
be $21. !

FINE WEATHER FOR
OIL DEVELOPMENT
OPEN WINTER HAS ADVANCED
WORK IN CAT CREEK BY
HALF A YEAR

Already the new year in the Lew
istOwn oil fields sees the rush in the
oil game in the big swing. News
that the winter was so open that
drilling was going strong has evil
IDENTIFY spread over the country thor
oughly and in consequence the num-
Der of visitors is growing daily.
Leases on acreage running into the
thousands, with cash payments in
tens of thousands of dollars, have al
ready been made, and in many in
stances the purchasers are arranging
for drilling operations as soon as
equipment can be gotten onto the
ground.
Montana Companies Leading
Montana companies are playing a
most important part in getting favor
able acreage and in financing for
early operation. Data is not now
available for all of them, but some
of the more important ones may be
noted:
The Deer Lodge Oil Co., with
Frank Conley, w. B. Orem, J.. L..
DeHart, Governor A. e. Spriggs and
Judge Roy R. Ayers as trustees, has
purchased an eighty acre lease north
west of the Big Six, for immediate
development. The capital of $4,000
vas raised before the purchase was
made.
Mitchell Oil & Gas Co. has bought
a 40 acre lease in the proven Cat
Creek section; much of the neces-
sary capital has been subscribed and
a contract for drilling is now being
negotiated.
To Push Drilling
The Baker Syndicate, with a num-
Der of fine leases, is shipping in two
standard rigs from the southern
fields. These will be set up at once
upon their arrival, and the work of
getting the drills down into the oil
sands will be pushed.
The Metropolitan, with an 80 acres
the Cat Creek anticline, will
be among the early ones to spud in.
Lying between the West Dome pro-
Queer and the Big Six, which will be
IN production very soon, the Metro
people are encouraged to be-
gin early drilling.
The Unit Petroleum has just spud-
led in it's we'll on its 26 acre tract in
IO-15-29. This location is close in
IN the producing territory, and the
management has all needed equip
nent and supplies for sending the
lit down steadily
Refinery Believed Certain
The construction of a refinery, on
he unit system for future expansion,
8 now regarded as a certainty. The
company is In strong hands, amply
BILE to finance construction, refining
nd marketing. A site on Spring
reek, with its abundant flow of wa
err, and connecting with the right-of-
7ay of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
t. Paul railway, has been secured
nd early construction is promised.
his will be an invaluable addition
0 LewistOwn, and will assure her !

receiver to handle the funds until
litigation concerning the lease is dis
posed of.
We Gas in Big Six
The Big Six well, at about 900 feet
broke into a flow of wet gas. AS 1t
flows over the top of the casing 1t
breaks and falls much as does oil
when it overflows. Chief driller
Reed, who is a veteran at the game,
says this is the only gas of the sort
thus far encountered in the Cat
Greek field, and is of the opinion that
it points the way to early and strong
production. He also regards 1t as
very favorable to adjoining ground,
probably for a considerable distance
both ways along the anticline.

Business in other cities in
the state are interested in the idea
OF clubs for business and professional
women, and a convention of all Mon
tanans who are interested will be
held in Missoula March 8 and a, it
is planned, with a view to organizing
a state federation. Mrs. Lena Lake
Forrst, of Detroit, Mich, president
of the National Federation of Bust
ness and Professional Women's clubs,
will be there to talk to the women
who attend. The Great Falls club
will be well represented at the meet
ing.

His electrical equipment is all over the
house. His laboratory is in a barn
where $4,000 worth OF merchandise is
stored because the mayor and some other
the others have agreed to prevent any
one from renting a store to Solomon. The
committee composed Of these gentlemen
arrive to force Glen to put Solomon and
Mary ont of his home. He refuses. 1t
is in this scene when Solomon, after his
daughter Essie had been insulted by the
narrow minded committee. gives them
the taste Of the real stuff that is in
him.
He tells them that he has read the con-
stitution and all men are equal regard

Essie are attending a Christian Science
meeting. The mayor and the merchant
give Glen enough money to pay his back
taxes. They advise him to pay the back
taxes at once. In his absence they
operate an electric switch which fires
the barn and destroys the stock of mer-
chandise belonging to Solomon.

The fourth act is all gravy. 1t is New
Years night, 1921. The old hotel has
been transformed into a new one with a
wonderful lobby, street cars passing the
door, Jewish patrons welcomed and the
whole town greeting Solomon as the
greatest citizen Of the town.
Mary Is brought back to Ned and the
whole town is happy. Solomon explains
that he is Jewish Scientist"
The great lesson has been taught.
1t warmed a great audience last night
at English's just as it did for nearly two
years in Chicago and New York.
To George Sidney as Isidore Solomon
belongs the credit for giving the stage
the first truthful portrayal of the Jew.
Sidney melts the doctrine Of right living
and right thinking all over the theater.
He is natural. He gives us a real, honest,
soul, stirring and sympathetic character
ization not burlesQue. 1t is honest act

timonial meeting to give a real testi-

The third act shows the electric plant
In operation, but the mayor Of the town
will not honor franchise held by Glenn.
The action centers on the efforts of the
mayor and others to cheat Solomon and
Glenn out of the plant. There is some
finely developed theatrical scenes in this
act. The mayor sees a chance to win his
point by exposing the past of Mary, in
whose name is placed the option of the
ground on which the plant is located.
She runs away, leaving Ned Tyler, son
Of the banker, heartbroker.
The big punch of the show comes In a
most clever way at the end of the third
act when Solomon exposes the mayor of
the town and the leader of those who
hate the Jews as a Jew himself mas
querading under another name.
