the showing of Wanda Hawley in
"A kiss in Time"
This comely is one OF the most en-
joyable that the lovely and blonde
Wanda has ever made Her work is
supplemented by that clever por-
trayal of T. Roy Barnes and the TO-
tund Walter Hers.
A short comedy called ~Spfking
Spooks~ is the added attraction
Tomorrow May Allison commences
three-day engagement in a picture
called Extravaganza" The lovely
May has in this picture an ideal role.
She plays as the FUZZY. lovable,
carefree bride of an energetic but
too-loving husband. With the
tastes Of a millionaire she has only a
poor man income. The result is not
marital mix-up but rather a COM
bining Of forces to combat against
each others faults and win ultimate
happiness. Il Is well worth seeing.
Robert Edeson, well known stage
and screen star has one of the lead
ing roles in the story.

ENTITLED TO AN EXCHANGE

The financial support given by
Broadus to the Eastern Montana ell
ephone company in its long-dis,ance
telephone project from Miles City ia
Its terminus at Broadus should en-
title this place to an exchange by the
installation of a switchboard, OF
the total amount subscribed Broad
us portion was nearly half of the
sum raised in the county. Broadus
doubled its original quota on the
assumption and promise that an ex-
change would be operated and the
necessary business and residence tel
ephones were listed to maintain the
local exchange. It is said that q
switchboard would cost approxi,oate-
~ $500 with this expense to be
borne by the company. With the
circuit soon to he put into operat: on
toll station only will be installed
III Broadus, which for obvious rea-
sons will be unsatisfactory to the
people who will have occasion for
long-distance telephone commun ca
ton. Broadus has done more than
was originally expected Of it in
this telephone project and now that
the line Is rapidly nearing compile
ton it should have local exchange
without much further delay.

WORLD DISARMAMENT

The proposals for peace seem to
be crystallizing around the principle
OF world disarmament. and a confer
ence will probably be held in which
the leading nations of the world will
participate. In that eventuality, ac-
cording to military authorities, any
one rejecting disarmament would be
disclosed as the Next Germany"
Tremendous maritime construction is
now underway between the United
States, Great Britain and Japan. each
one vieing with the other. Naval
and military disarmament would be
gladly accepted by the United States
but until that solution for world
peace comes this country is not asleep
at the switch.

SCHOOL DISTRICT EXPENsEs

The expenditure of county money
is itemized every month in connec-
ton with proceedings CT the county
commissioners SO that the taxpayers
may know what disposition is being
made of the funds paid in by them.
The same conditions should apply: to
the respective school districts. It is
probable that lack Of funds has pre-
vented the respective boards Of trus-
tees from publishing these state
ments in the past, but to bridge this
difficulty the Examiner agrees to
publish these financial staten ants
without expense whatsoever. We in
vite the school trustees from over
the county to submit their state

form or as otherwise prepared. It
is unnecessary for monthly state

OUR OIL POSSIBILITIES

The general impression of the REQ.
pie of Powder River county over the
existence of Oil hereabouts is partly
substantiated by the report of the
government biologists published in
its entirety in the Examiner in this
issue. and incidentally it may lie
mentioned that the Examiner is the
FIRST newspaper in the state to carry
this Information which likewise rer-
tains to southern Montana and north
srn Wyoming. It is the report which
people In these areas have been
eagerly awaiting since the oil recon-
Nuisance work last fall by govern
ment biologists.
The report is somewhat vague and
lacking in definite information as to
the probability of oil. Should oi. be
discovered. however, the government
men could readily say II told you
So. and conversely the same asser-
ton would prove correct
Withal, the report is favorable for
oil in this county. The Wolf noun
tain area. embraced almost wholly in
this county is pronounced synciiral
depression. Anticlines are recognized,
one extending from north of Stacey
through Coalwood and on to a POINT
about four miles above Powder, lille:
between Piniele and Ridge there is
northwest dip formation; from
Ridge up the valley of Bowers creek
an anticlinal nose is projected; While
an east-west syncline extending from
BOyes to the mouth Of Cache creek,
10 miles above Broadus, has con-
junction with syncline followed by
Powder river, producing the Broad
as artesian basin.
The report covers wide eXpanse
Of territory. as far west as Hardin
and south to Sheridan. In this ma
ior syncline, referring to the Wolf
mountain area, the biologists believe
that ii oil be discovered it will be
found at a considerable depth. The
theory advanced for this belief is
that great thickness Of coal-bear-
ing rocks covers the surface. This
is the only positive claim maze in
the report, while other opinions
seem to be advanced even with hest
tation. Elaboration in this part'cu-
lar would have been much more elu-
cidating for the same condition
could not obtain over such wide
expanse of territory. A record of
we'll drilled over the Montana line,
20 miles from Sheridan, is gwen,
showing the different stratas enccun-
tered, and as this we'll has a depth
nf over 1000 feet, it may be that
the experts draw conclusion.
Should the surmise be true thai oil
is to be found at a great depth, with
the distance diminishing toward the
east, then the maximum depth would
start at the western edge Of the MAJ
ior synclinal depression with a recess
sion toward the east. making the
depth oil is to be expected much less
In the east than in the west. 1t is
known fact that marine shells ex-
list on the very crest of the Wolf
mountains. about six miles distant
from Broadus. 1t yet remains t, be
determined at what depth Oil is to
be found to tap the reservoir which
probably lies beneath and this can
only be determined by prospect or
development work.
