Powerful Capital
Whatever may be the state of the
petroleum market for Cat Greek pro-
ducers, so far as competitive de-
mand is concerned, and on this point
the board finds no necessity to ex-
press itself and, therefore, declines
to venture an opinion at this time.
all the producers in the Cat Creek
field should be assured Of an equal
opportunity to reach that market
Their situation emphatically calls for
strict adherence to the principle
framed in the brief expression, the
same rate for the same service If
variable rates were sanctioned, the
pipeline with the lowest rate is bound
to obtain most of the traffic, and if
such line were allied with refining
interests situation might be pro-
duced wherein the Cat Creek produc-
er would be. in practical effect, den
led the opportunity of reaching the
market he desired. Nor is the effect
altered by the fact that the refiner or
buyer pays the transportation charge
as long as the pipeline companies are
permitted to purchase as we'll as to
carry oil, as the laws of the state
now seem to permit. The petroleum
industry in Montana is little more
than year old, and entitled to every
proper encouragement. Large and
powerful groups of capital are work
ing alongside small and limited pion-
GERS. The law aims to afford them
all parity of opportunity, and so far
as the Cat Greek field goes, that is
most readily accomplished by equali-
cation of transportation rates. An ap-
rropriate order will be entered

Arthur Mckenzie, Il,
Passed Away Sunday
Pioneer Resident of Eagle River

Funeral Held Wednesday
Was Worthy Citizen

Eagle River and vicinity was
shocked and grieved Sunday morning
when it was announced that A. Nc
Kenzie had suddenly passed away
Although he had been confined to
his home or the past two months, his
condition was not thought to be crit

soon.
Arthur Mckenzie was born in Nor

finishing school and college he came

locating first at Manawa, where he
engaged in the mercantile business
for few years. He then went to FL

numbering business for some time,
and then with Mr.. Rossman found
ed the First State Bank of Phillips
which he conducted successfully I'M

young town of Eagle River invited
the location of a banking house and
with Fred Morey, his constant bust
ness associate since that time they
started the State Bank of Eagle River

part of the state.
He was a man of strict integrity in
bushes Affairs, combined with the de-
sire to help his neighbor in all legit-
innate undertakings, and it can safely
De said that there are many living to-
day who are under deep obligations to
him for his confidence in them when
perhaps assistance was s0rely need
ed. He was a man of extreme loyalty
to his friends and one who took a
deep interest in the affairs of his
community A striking characteris-
tic was his love for children and they
were always eager to meet him in the
assurance that he would have happy
greeting for them. Young and old
will long cherish his memory as one
who was a true friend to them.

DETACH TERRITORY

AS stated last week, the bill asking
for the detachment of the towns Of
Phelps and Plum Lake from the Eagle
River High School district, was fav-
orably reported by the committee, and
when it went before the senate Tues
day it was approved by a vote of IA to
IL, This practically settles the ques-
ton and will have a decided diminish
ing effect upon plans previously made
by the district for new high school
as it originally stood. In fact it leaves
the matter very much unsettled at the
present time.

to hold her own with anybody and
now, with the greatest need which will
produce the greatest good that she
has ever had she is not going to
be gutter. Homes she must have
and homes she will have.
For some time | have had the OPP
pOrtunity and have taken the time to
look into costs with the idea of pre-
senting them to you, and show you
that the necessary homes can be
built. Today can assure you that
you can build for one-half what you
could year or more ago, as far as
the materials that enter into home
construction are concerned. Labor of
course has not decreased proper
tionately but as fast as living costs
decrease SO will labor. This means
that the materials that a year ago
would have cost you $4,000, to con-
struct house can today be pur-
chased for one-half of that or less.
Ask your lumber dealer and your
hardware and cement man if this is
not correct.
| believe that the proper persons to
build the needed homes in Eagle
River are the individuals, but if the
individuals, who are able to do So.
will not do it, then it must be done
by some corporation. Homes must
be built by some means and rented
to the new Corners for a just rent
which will enable the owner to make
interest on his investment and at the
same time satisfy the renter that he
is getting a decent place for his fam
lily at a just rent The day of the
profteeer is fast drawing to close.
He must be taught that the war is
over and that he must come back to
earth and live with the rest of the
people on terms of amnity and justice
or he must be run out
In talk few days ago with some
of our old citizens that subject was
brought up and we began to enumer-
ate old citizens who had spent the
best part of, and in most cases, the
greatest part of their lives in Eagle
River, and | was really surprised to
find so many. 4 doubt if there is a
town in the country that can produce
a greater percentage of old citizens.
This certainly must stand for some
thing, it must mean that they have
been satisfied with their lot here, it
must mean that they have prospered
here or they would not have stayed

care to work very hard-it means that
we have had but very few cases

when aid was needed we have always
been ready both personally and col
lectively.
Eagle River has been good enough
for the most of us for quarter OF a
century or more, lets make it good
enough for the new conner SO that he
will want to grow with us, let's make
it good enough and beautiful enough
for the tourist so that he will go out
again but bring others, lets help the
summer resort owner bring his guests
back In fact lets be selfish, lets
help all these people that in helping
them we will help ourselves. Lets
not only build new homes, lets fix up
what we' have, repair the buildings,
beautify the grounds, keep our streets
alleys and bac yards, clean, repaint
our buildings, tear down old and UNI
used and unsightly shacks and every
cent will return to us a hundred fold.
BY doing this we will be doing about
