OHIO CO. WILL TEST

Visit of Officials to Roundup
Brings Decision to Drill
New Hole Oct. Is.
Special to The Tribune.

| Roundup, Sept 23.-The visit Of the
officials Of the Ohio Oil company to
Roundup last week is expected to fore
tell the starting of operations by this
company in the Howard coulee struct-
ure, where materials are now being
hauled. The rig and tools from the
/ Ragged Point well will be used in. drill
ing this hole, and spudding in will take
place about October Is. With ordin-
airy sluck this well should be completed
F, in so days.
the Big Wall has set sufficiently for
drilling to be resumed there and work
will be started with a 1O-inch bit. As
about 300 feet Of the hole has been
filled with cement. including the entire
part which is crooked, no difficulty is
anticipated in continuing the operation
to the oil horizon.
The Embar sands lie at about 1900
feet, and this is the first objective Of
the company. From developments in
Soap Creek and elsewhere it is believed
that this sand offers sure source of
Oil, especially in structure as perfect
geologically as the Big Wall. As the
Ohio controls about 5000 acres IN this
dome, comprising about 30 per cent of
the land embraced within the escarp-
ment, il oil is found large program

POTATO RATE CRISIS
APPEALED TO ROADS,;
MARKET. SEASON IS ON
Profits From Kalispell to
Kansas City Too Low I'm
der Freight Costs.
Special to The Tribune.

0PCNl0A " ! NC lTlOuue.
Helena, Sept 23.-Seeking relief
from the present high freight rates
on potatoes from Montana points to
eastern market terminals which will
enable the Montana grower to place
his products on the market in compe--
tltion with those of other parts of
the railroads operating in the state has
been made by the Montana railroad
commission, according to Chairman
Lee Dennis. The commission seeks a
reduction to the tariff in force prior
to the general increase of August,
1920.
Taking Kalispell, leading potato
shipping point, as a basis, the pres
emit rate to Kansas City is 1871 cents
per 100 pounds. The rate which the
commission seeks to re-establish is
57A cents.
Smaller Reduction Offered.
Recently it was announced that the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads. had decided to knock off
from the potato rates one-half of the
1920 increase-providing their con-
Meeting lines would consent. It has
not been announced whether the con-
sent was obtained. At any rate, the
reductions have not been made.
The states application for return
to the potato rate of 1920 has been
pending before. the Interstate Com
merce commission for some time. The
shipping season has arrived. however,
and the commission hurried its request
to the carriers themselves. even pass
ing in their haste over the customary
procedure of applying to the traffic
officers locally. It is now up to the
chiefs of the lines.
Profits Pretty Low.
Statistics compiled by F. w. Beier,
.Jr.. federal crop statistician for Mon
tana. show that Montana will market
about 1.4OO cars of commercial pota-
toes. The minimum carload is 10000
pounds. II. B. Schafer rate expert
for the railroad commission, has pre-
pared figures showing that with pres
emit rates the farmer suffers an actual
loss of $43.1S on shipping carload
to Kansas City when the price there
is S1.35 per 100 pounds. At 50 per
100 pounds the farmer makes profit
Of little more than 5000 per car. At
81 his profit is $616S2 per car. The
price now in Kansas City is around
$2.25. Mr.. Schafer's figures are based
on a production cost of 671h cents per
1W pounds, or total cost per acre
of $6O.5O.
The statistics compiled by Mr.. Reier
and Mr. Schafer. together with addi-
tlonal data gathered by Chester G.
Davis. state commissioner of agricul-
ture. have been forwarded to the rail-
road chiefs in support of the commits
sion's appeal.

view that branch line service IL not
more expensive.
Elevators and grain dealers gener-
ally on branch lines assert that the
rates now in effect drive farmers to
main line points, even where they have
to haul their product many more miles.
The state commission holds that,
since all other tariffs are based on the
distance commodities are shipped. the
grain rates should be fixed the same
way.
According to the charges, the rates
for shipping 100 pounds of grain from
a town on a branch line 733 miles to
st. Paul are AZ 1-2 cents, while the
shipping charges on the same shipments
from a town On 1.-THE main line to st.
Paul are only 80 1-2 cents.

stated. prevent further appeal by the
claimant if he is still unsatisfied with
the award.
Urge Names Filled.
The officials of the American Legion
Of Montana are especially DESTROYS of
making known the Importance of for

Transportation Will Be Furnishes.
Transportation will be furnished to
any former service man who has an
unsettled physical status, and this, Mr..
Busha stated, means any former serv-
ice man, under the following condi-
tons: If he has pending claim which
has been disallowed; If he has been
awarded compensation and is dissatis-
fled with the amount Of his award; If
he has never made q claim but has any
physical trouble which he considers
traceable to the service; if he has any
physical trouble, probably or possibly,
or may need an operation or hospital
ization for treatment, or medical atten-
ton OF any kind. II he has any physi-
cal trouble which he is not certain is
traceable to the service. or if he is
uncertain whether he needs treatment,
he should come in and let the board de-

corning his compensation Or vocational
training which the squad may be able
to adjust.
Legion Auxiliaries Helping.
'eThe Legion auxiliaries Of Montana
are combining with the various posts of
the organization and chapters Of the
American Red Cross in bringing to the
attention Of former service men the
benefits of the drive being conducted
in Montana" Mr.. Busha stated. land
with the proper cooperation on the
part of the men who are to benefit sby
the examination which will be conduct
ed at the various centers. there is no
reason why every former service man
should not be able to establish his
service connection with the govern
ment. The men should consider what
this connection may mean to them in
case Of future disability from physical
trouble which might have had its source
while they were in the service. This
will possibly be the best opportunity
they will have of establishing their
claims, as all connections for compen-
sation claims must be made before
August 8. 1922 Failure to file claim
and establish the connection by that
date will mean that if any physical
trouble develops in the future which is

HAVE Their Time TO FALL
; Nature Has Made Provision for the
Parting Of the LeavesrFrom
the Parent Tree.

One Of the most beautiful processes
in nature is the fall of the leaf. This
is not, as is commonly supposed,
brought about by the inclement wealth.
er Of the autumn, says well-known
authority. For the underlying cause
one must look deeper.
Soon after the leaf appeared in the
spring preparations were being made
for its fall. Across the base of the
stalk there grew inward n partition
of special cells. known to bontanists
rs the layer Of separation" AS the
season advances these cells become
modified and weakened so that a
springy cushion IS formed. Eventual
ly the mere weight of the leaf may
be sufficient to bring about the sever
ance of the organ which the tree no
longer requires.
Before the leaf actually falls it
surrenders all that it possesses in the
way Of sugar and more complex stuffs.
This passes back into the tree to be
stored away in the stems.

THE ENDING CANNOT BE
ANTICIPATED AT THE START

Human beings are largely the re-
suit of a series Of follies. The aver
age person chases madlv after mess
Of pottage and lives to repent his
foolishness. In 1.-THE Vice OF Fools. "
at the Elko tonight, also Wednesday
matinee and evening, Alice Joyce is
seen as a young woman who allows
folly to get the better of her wisdom
and the result is series of complica-
tions that have unusual dramatic
value. There are many light spots
and much subtle ,humor in the action
which tends to emphasize the emo
tional scenes and gives Miss Joyce a
scope seldom witnessed in stories of
this nature. The chief virtue of
"The Vice of Fools" is its delineation
of life as it exists. The story OF Ma
rion and Cameron is that OF hun
dreds of other, headstrong young per-
sons who allow infatuation to get
the better OF common sense and draw
those around them into a network of
circumstances from which It becomes
difficult to become extracted. 1t is
different from the average film and
the ending cannot be anticipated at
the start. One is constantly specu-
lating as to how it all will end. The
climax comes as a surprise and is
not what one expects.

edian, in "A Wild Night" is another
