Ultimate Literature.

Criticism is tiic youngest of all the literary forms It will perhaps end by absorbing all the others. It is admir- ably suited to a velN civilized society with rich memories and long tradi- tions. It is particularly appropriate to a curious, learned and polite hu- manity. For it's prosperity it de- mands more culture than any of the other literary forms. .-Anatola France.

W|LDCAT7ERSH HUNT
MOTHER OIL POOL
WEST OF 0PHE|M
Fifteen Thousand Acres Leased
in Northern Valley
County.
to The Tribune.

Glasgow, Feb. 23.-The leasing OF
lands for oil development in Valley
county continues on large scale.
Much speculation is going on in
northern Montana as to the location
of the mother pool of oil that is
feeding central Montana oil fields. It
is reported that people in Opheim, an
inland town 30 miles north of Glasgow,
are in the belief that this large pool
of oil is in that vicinity.
Mr.. Hanrihan Of Opheim, for the
last two weeks has been leasing oil
rights east of Opheim. has secured a
large acreage. He is representing a
e. H. Fair Of the Arkansas Drilling
Co. Leases to e. H. Fair filed with
the clerk and recorder at Glasgow
last week cover 1920 acres.
A local company is being formed at
Opheim, which plans to sink test
we'll 10 to 10 miles west Of Opheim. It
is expected that f. H. Fair will have
several drilling outfits in this section
by June Of this year. Should oil be
found in this country. it will be most
probable that the Great Northern
Railway or the 500 Line will extend
their lines.
Reports have been received that
lands in the vicinity Of Thoeny. are
being leased and that oil indications
look favorable. This section is west
Of Opheim and about 40 miles north
Of Hinsdale.

Missoula Corporation Signs
Contract With Little Sage
Oil Co. to Develop.
Snecial to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Joplin, Feb. &c. NJ. Roos, one
Of the officials of the 5000 Petroleum
corporation of Missoula, was in Joplin
Friday and signed up contract with
the Little Sage Oil & Gas Go. to de-
velop the oil fields north of here.
The 5000 Petroleum corporation
has put up $4,000 cash bond As
evidence that they viii do business ac-
cord1ng to the contract which stipu-
lates that the company must have
biologists in the field by April and it
the findings are satisfactory drilling
must commence on or before June l.
The leases, which cover over 10000
acres, are to be kept in escrow until
drilling operations are actually under
way and then they will be checker
boarded in 40 acre tracts, the 5000
Petroleum corporation receiving 10
forties and the Little Sage Oil & Gas
Co. six in each section.
The 5000 Petroleum corporation is
acquiring quietly few other leases
in the northern part of Liberty county
and they expect to be the first COM
pany to begin drilling operations in
this territory.

THE OIL TAXES.

a N oil meeting was held yes
"A terday in Great Falls by men
who are really interested in the
industry. the discussion seems to
have been wholesome, even if the
action did not take definite form.
The conclusions were not different
from those expressed in this COL
umn some days ago.
A big industry is looming up for
Montana. It should Of course pay
a share Of the taxes. It should not
be discouraged, hindered or bur-
dened. What the oil men fear is
stable gross production tax and
they are not to be blamed for that.
Such tax is always unpopular be-
cause in almost any industry there
may be no profits to pay the tax.
Revenue from net proceeds always
has the valid recommendation Of
ability to pay behind it.
The legislature knows all this.
The members have heard the argu-
ments. A large percentage of them
are business men. Many of them
are from sections where rigs are
drilling. In their hands is re-
sponsibility in which their neigh
bors at home are deeply interested.
Oratory should not swing votes one
way or the other. The oil taxes
ought to be fixed by candid confer
ence and the taking Of evidence and
not upon hotel lobby discussion.

CAT CREEK OUTPUT
TAKES CAPACITY Of
SINGLE PIPE LINE
Producers at Lewistown Believe
Crude Oil Is to Gradually
Advance in Price.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Lewistown, Feb. 23-With the
bringing in of the Homestake No. /,
the Unit Petroleum. the Hoover
Schwartz and the Montana Superior,
all of which will be connected up with
the pipe line at once, the certainty
that the Lucky Strike will be in about
the end Of the week and some others
that promise well. the production that
will be shipped from the Cat Creek
field during March will certainly tax
the capacity of the Elk Basins pipe
line, which has been for some days
past over 1000 barrels a day. The
announcement that the price of crude
has been advanced % cents barrel in
the Teas field makes it certain that
similar advance will come here, if it
is maintained outside and the belief
among all the oil men is that the up
ward turn in the price of oil has fairly
started.
To Spud In Wells.
Wells that will be spudded in early
in March are those of the Baker Syn
dictate which may be started yet this
month; the Bearcat; Bullseye; Custer
No. 1; Great Western No. 2; Home
stake Nos. 2 and 3; Cat Greek Cen
ter: Montana Syndicate: Hoover
Schwartz No. 2. and Capitol Dome.
There will doubtless be a number of
others. but those named have complet-
ed their plans for the work.
There is n great deal of interest
locally in the Kelvin structure in Toole
county, due to the reports made by
Gordon Campbell. who controls large
acreage there and who has many fol-
lowers in this field
An inspiring Sight.
The spectacle of train of loaded
tank cars pulling out of Winnett prae-
tically every day now for the Elk
Basins refinery at Greybull is an in
spring one and seems to make deep
er impression on those who see this
evidence of Cat Creeks productiveness
than anything else.

ASSINNlBOlyE INDIANS START
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SIS, 100000
Claim That Under Treaty Of 1851 Government
Gave Them Deed to Land Which They
Have Never Occupied

highly educated Indian and claims that
he has been trying to unravel this
matter for the last twenty years. He
claims that his tribe holds in their
possession the original document exc
cuted by the government commission
ers giving them title to this vast
territory; that they have a valid claim
against the land aud that the govern
ment had no right to throw it open
to public entry, and they are now
going to sue the government to recover
the value of the land ON the basis of
$1.25 per acre.
The Assinniboine Indians claim that
this territory was given to their tribe
BY the government through a treaty
In 1851 to run for certain number of
years and with certain conditions, but
before the time limit expired other
treaties were made giving them land
for a reservation in the northern part
of the state, and through an oversight
in some way the title of the land orr
ginally given to the Assinniboines was
never decided back to the government.
Most Prosperous Section.
This territory now in dispute has be-
come one of the most prosperous parts
of Montana. In addition to embracing
a fertile agricultural lands it also
embraces the newly discovered oil
fields and its valuation would run into
hundreds of millions. Mr.. Blount says
that no action will be brought to re-
cover the land or try to dispossess any
one Of their present holdings, but he
does feel that as long as they have
little to the land and il originally be-
onged to his tribe that the govern
nent should reimburse the tribe to
the extent of $1.25 per acre.

time that remains. These revenue
measures are imperative but they
should be handled and not jumbled
at the end.
THE TEACHER AND THE

MONTANA is doing more fol
IVA its educational institutions
| than for anything else at the pres
ent time. All other bonds failee
at the last election. The people Of
Montana feel that they have at last
provided for the building up Of
their colleges into institutions Of
much larger value. This is good j,
the money is put with care into the
purposes arranged.
Just at the present moment we
desire to comment on one educa-
tional feature in the state. There
was a bill before the legislature to
compel teachers to take an oath OF
loyalty to the government. The
measure was killed. The argument
pro and con was interesting, but
it was for the most part oratory
and beside the issue. A calm an
alysis of this question will lead to
the conclusion that you could hard
~ expect to introduce loyalty into
the heart Of a teacher by making
him take an oath. It would do
about as much good to drink a
glass of soda water.
There is only one way. You will
have to start at the other end. The
educational qualifications Of Amer
lean teachers must be improved.
A half trained mind is the congenial
companion of half hearted citizen
ship. The figures given for the
whole country are astounding. We
are continually appointing teach hers
who have insufficient training. Re-
Gently the president of large COM
association stated that the
majority of our 100000 teachers are
half educated persons.
One hundred thousand Of them
have not reached their 2lst year;
10000 have only a public school
education; 100000 Of them have
not graduated from teachers col
leges.
Montana has a large number of
:hese poor teachers along with
many good ones. So we think it
would have been more to the point
f there had been an effort in the
legislature to provide for training
IF more teachers in the normal
school and higher institutions Of
earning. This might bring up the
question Of another normal school,
We do not know.
We do feel sure that nearly all |
# our teachers who have had we'll |
directed higher education are not
,nly good instructors but they are
good citizens and loyal as we'll
without an oath. Montana needs |
o train more teachers for itself.

TAX COMMISSION PASSES
OUT.

HOUSE bill No. S, the tax COM
1 mission measure, went down
to defeat Tuesday in the senate.
It fell with such a thump that its
legislative life was at an end.
President Story pronounced it life
less-as dead as 4 door nail-which
probably is dead enough to suit
Senator Edwards or any other SEN
ator opposed to bill No. S, whether
he be an ardent friend to Governor
Dixon or just a senator.
We thought this tax commission
measure would get lost in the sen
ate. Perhaps it is just as we'll IN
der all of the circumstances. 1t
couldn't stand the bombardment Of
two heavy guns that kept up a con-
tinuous fire. First, it opened up
an expense door that was thrown
too wide open. Second. the con-
stitution with its state board of
equalization doomed up over against
operation. The first gun did the
worst damage. In the house the
party whip apparently tickled the
heels Of some of the boys, but over
in the senate loyalty to the gov
ernor, the argument most strongly
used, didn't appear to make much
Of IN impression upon the oppos-
ing senator's. Finally this appeal
fell in heap of ruins when Sena-
tor White blandly wanted to know
why the recommendation of the
governor putting the livestock de-
partment into the all-enveloping
agricultural layout shouldn't be
held just as sacred as his wish for
the passage Of house bill No. S.
Senator White scored on this hit
and It IL said that Senator Edwards
smiled az Senator White scored.
Anyway the atmosphere IL some
what cleared by the failure Of the
tax commission bill to pass In the
senate. It is out Of the way. Mon
tana may have 4 tax commission
some day when the present hinder
ing objections are put out Of the
way.
The Tribune never has shared in
the belief that the legislature Is
forthwith barred from handling of
it's immediate tar problems by the
failure Of the tax commission item
In Mr.. Dixon's program. We hope
that careful and businesslike at
tention may be given to the tax
biIls daring the siort .lpgislative J
