300-BARREL OIL WELL
TAPPED IN GARFIELD
Cave-in When Bit is Lifted Fails to
Stop Flow Over Top; May Go
400 When Cleared.

Winnett, Oct. 19.-One of the i'm
portant strikes thus far made in the
Cat creek field was established Tues
day with the completion of CONNER
cial well in the southeast quarter of
the northwest quarter of stceion 26-15-
80 by the Frantz corporation. The
well is located across the Musselshell
river in Garfield county, and estab-
fishes a large field heretofore un-
proved.
The drill entered the oil sand at
1,05O feet, the first Al feet being un-
productive. When the productive
strata was reached, the drill was sent
down three feet further, the oil rising
in a 10-inch casing and flowing over
the top from total depth of about
1908 feet.
When the bit was withdrawn, a cave
in occurred in the producing sand, but
thus impeded, the oil continued to flow
over the top at the estimated rate of
more than 300 barrels day. It is
estimated that when the hole has been
cleared, the flow will be in excess OF
400 barrels. When the caved-in earth
is removed, the drill will be sunk q
few inches further and an 81a inch
casing set.
The we'll is located two miles south
east of the Frantz discovery we'll ant
the oil is of the same quality produced
west of the river

was in town Thursday holding regular
Law and Motion day for Judge Borton
in District Court.
On that day the settlement of the
proposed Bill of exceptions in the case
Of DR.. George ]. Hanley v. Great

THAYER PLANS SECOND
ESCAPE FROM PRISON
Caught With Practically Complete
Key for Jail Door. Did All Work
With Table Knife.

That c. E. Thayer, awaiting trial
in the Valley county Jail under a
statutory charge, is "hard to keep"
is evidenced by the fact that he was
caught Monday planning his second
escape from the authorities here. Dur
ing the summer, Thayer made his es-
cape from Jail here and it was not
until several weeks later that Sheriff
Hall picked him up in the state of
Washington.
Monday of this week when Under
sheriff Chris Hanson, went into the
cage unannounced, he discovered Thay-
er trying to hide something from sight.
An investigation revealed an assort-
ment of key patterns made from a
split piece of wood and old pieces of
tin. All of the work had been done
with table knife which the prisoner
had managed to secrete in some man.

Postmasters throughout the Ninth
Federal Reserve District and the Ma
ton are planning to make the last
three months of the year the banner
quarter in the sale of Thrift Stamps,
War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates. Immediate steps
will be taken in each community by
the postmaster to comply with the re-
quest for increased activity in the
sale of these securities in accordance
with the following statement issued
by Postmaster General w. H. Hays:
"The Secretary of the Treasury has
again expressed to the Postmaster
General his deep appreciation of the
work of postmasters and postal en-
ployees generally in promoting the
sale of Treasury Savings Securities.
The Importance of this work to the
Government and the public has not
diminished with the close of the war,
and the Post Office department with
the hearty cooperation of the Treas
ury department is working upon plan
for a permanent Government Savings
system. In the meantime in order
that the ground gained in the cam
paign for Thrift and Saving by the
Treasury Departments War Savings
program may not be lost, postmasters
and postal employees generally are
urged to renewed effort in promoting
the sale of Treasury Saving Securi-
ties.
"There has been falling off in the
sale of these securities since the arm
istice, due to the waning of the en-
thusiasm aroused by the war. The
Post Office department and Treasury
department must depend principally
on the postmasters throughout the
country to keep these securities prom
inently before the public. I am, there
fore, addressing this appeal to post
masters and postal employees gener-
ally to make every effort to call Treas
ury Savings Securities to the atten-
tion of the public and to promote the
sale of the securities generally. The
Treasury department has already dis
tributed to postmasters a Treasury

tions."
The strike was announced follow
ing an overwhelming vote, said to
be upwards of 80 per cent, favoring
strike because of a IL per cent
wage reduction authorized by the
United States railroad labor board of
July l, and after it was declared by
the association of railway executives
in session Friday morning, further
reduction would be sought by the rail-
roads. 1t was said that the strike de-
cision was made before the announce
ment of this further intended cut.
Printed instructions as to conduct of
the strike issued in Chicago, were
dated October IA.
II fear it will be one of the most
serious strikes in American transpor-
tation history" said w. G. Lee, presi-
dent of the railroad trainmen, who
during the recent weeks has sent cir
culars to his men warning them of the
critical nature of the steps they con-
templated
The country was divided into four
groups, in which the men were author
lied to walk out progressively, one
group every twenty-four hours. The
names of the groups were not made
public, but unofficially the identity of
the roads in the first group to go was
learned, subject to changes, which
union officials said would be few. This
first group included some of the coun-
try's greatest rail systems, from coast
to coast and from Canada to Gulf.
These were: Chicago and Northwest

Joint Commission Makes
Division Recommendation

The Commission is strongly of the
opinion that the construction of said
ST. Mary Lakes, Chain -of-Lakes and
Verdigris Coulee reservoirs, and the
operation of all reservoirs under it's
direction, will make it possible to
conserve practically the entire flow
and flood waters of the two streams
and insure the greatest beneficial use
of the same to both countries. Be-
cause of the international interests
involved and as a means of furthering
those relations of neighborliness and
good fellowship which it is convinced
the people of both countries have
earnestly at heart, the Commission
believes that the cost of construction
of the works at the outlet of St. Mary
Lakes should not be charged against
any particular project but should be
borne jointly by the governments of
the United States and Canada; the
legal title of said reservoir to be
vested in the United States.
It is therefore ordered that the fol-
ioWHiS Recommendations ut IcSpcCI-
fully sumbitted to the governments of
the United States and Canada:
That the governments of the United
States and Canada enter into an agree.
ment for the construction of a reser.
voir at st. Mary Lakes in Montana.
That the Reclamation Service OF
the United States proceed with the
construction of the proposed Chain-of
Lakes reservoir in Montana, and the
| Canadian Reclamation Service with
the proposed Verdigris Coulee reser,
voir in Alberta.
That all reservoirs herein mentioned
be constructed, controlled and operat.
ed in the manner, for the purpose and
subject to the conditions above SET
forth.
Dated at Ottawa, Canada, this 9Th
day of October, 1921.

The following recommendations of the
International Joint Commission to in
vestigate the matter Of the measure
ment and apportionment of the water
of the St. Mary and Milk Rivers and
their tributaries has just been receiv-
ed by the reclamation office at Malta:
"This commission finds, as the re-
suit of very thorough investigation
of the possibilities Of irrigation devel-
opment in those portions of the State
of Montana and the Provinces of AL
berta and Saskatchewan capable of
irrigation by the waters of the St.
Mary and Milk Rivers and their trib-
utaries, that the quantities of land in
this international region susceptible of
development far exceed the capacity
of the rivers in question even under
the most exhaustive system of conser-
walton. 1t is therefore of the utmost
Importance, not only because of the
practical benefits to accrue to the peo-
pie of this western country, but still
more because the St. Mary and Milk
Rivers problem is one that might
easily become a source of serious ir-
ritation and misunderstanding to the
people of the two countries, that every
effort should be made to obtain the
maximum efficiency in irrigation from
these waters.
In the First Annual Report of the
United States Reclamation Service,
1902, project was outlined for the
storage of 25O,OOO acre feet of water,
by means of dam across the outlet
of the ST. Mary Lakes.
And further the United States Re-
clamation Service has already con-
structed a reservoir at Sherburne
Lake, and the Commission is informed
that said Service has in contempla-
tion the construction of what is known
as the Chain-of-Lakes reservoir in the
valley of the Milk River after that
stream leaves Canada; and that the
Reclamation Service of Canada has in
contemplation the construction of what
is called the Verdigris Coulee reser-
voir on the northern side of the Milk
River.
