channel until the drop of tempera-
ture few days ago. An ice gorge
formed In the river near Pinto and
the stage was all set for the river
breaking a record for going out so
early in the season. The gorge froze

ed in the price Of crude oil and an
upward tendency IS looked Tor from
this time on, perhaps a little later
on. The cut in the wages of drill
ers. already effective in most fields.
has not been applied to Cat Creek

be reduced from $3.50 to $3.50

ceive $3.50 instead of IS, both scales
including room and board. The cut
started in Texas and has been grad

DISCUSS PLANS
TO FINANCE WOOL

\ conference of Montana sheep
men and bankers was held at Hell
ena recently for the purpose of dis
cussinG plans for the financing of
the 1921 wool crop. 4 plan was
adopted whereby negotiable ware
house receipts will be issued.
The plan of the National Wool
Warehouse company was presented
by Matt Staff, the manager. of Chi
cago. and the plan was indorsed.
This plan provides for storing the
wool in warehouses licensed by the
federal government and receipts is
sued for the wool are to be nesotia-
Bile. The bankers committee will
recommend to the bankers OF Mon
tana that the .woolmen befinanced
under this plan.
Roy NJ. Covert, president OF the
Merchants National bank of Billings
who attended the meeting, says:
"This year, more than ever. local
bankers will be called upon to assist
in financing either directly or thru
the federal reserve nank or outside
connections.
1.-THE big warehouses are pre-
pairing negotiable warehouse receipts
which will materially expedite fin
ancing. 1t was felt that marketing
conditions were such as to warrant
an early beginning in the making OF
plans for gradual marketig of
wool. rather than any attempt to
throw the clip on the market at the
time of shearihg."

OIL news Of
LOCAL INTEREST

Drilling has been commenced on
a we'll which will test a structure in
the Little Missouri country north of
Moorcroft. The weil Is being drilled
on section 17-57-56 on a lease Sc
cured by the Houghton Oil company
of Lusk, which company has given q
drilling contract on royalty basis
to an association OF men composed
of Geo. Kilton. w. e. Marion, NJ. J.
Kohns, c. l.. wainwright and Lee Fla
tow. This we'll is particularly inter-
esting as the we'll is to be drilled to
the Lakota sand and will be the
first test of this sand in this vicinity.
1t Is estimated that the Lakota sand
will be reached at depth of from
600 to 700 feet. I'm the event that
the Lakota sarid does not prove pro-
ductive the we'll will he continued to
the Minnelus0a sands which are
down at depth of about 1000
feet, according to the geologists. The
dome is we'll defined and has been
reported upon favorably by geolo-
gists.
The drillers at the Pahasapa COM
pany's we'll on Thompson creek ran
into another bunch of bad luck the
other day when they lost the under
reamer and the tools in the hole.
The cable parted tust below the
splice. 1t was found necessary to
send for some tools to fish with. but
it was thought that they would not
be delayed very long. A brand new
nnderreamer was brought out from
Belle Fourche and as soon as the
hole is cleaned out again they will
start work with the new one. II
there is anything else that can hap
pen to we'll it will happen soon,
for it seems as if these men have had
more hard luck than the average
