NASHUA TO HAVE
PICNIC JULY 4
Ball Game, Show, Dance and Other
Old Time Attractions of The
Fourth.

The business men of Nashua are
now making plans for small cele.
hration in Nashua on the 4th of July
1t is not the intention to make this
celebration the biggest thing in north.
ern Montana, but more of picnic in
stead.
If the plans now under discussion
are carried out ball game will be
arranged for the afternoon with some
nearby team, preferably return
game with Larslan, followed by g
show and dance in the evening.
In years gone by our neighborine
cities have staged so-called celebra.
tions, and as a general thing big
crowd collects to walk the streets from
morning until late at night with moth
ing to entertain them, and those wht
attend come away more disgusted thar
pleased with the entertainment.
In the event this program as out
lined is to be carried through to com
pletion more details will be given a
an early date.-Independent.

WOULD PROMOTE
OWNERS LEAGUE
Claim That Organization of Tax-Pay-
ers is Necessary to Reduce
Valuations. -.

Representative F. B. Gillette is ac-
tive in the promotion of Valley coun-
ty tax payers league with the purpose
in view of lowering the assessed valu-
alton of the land of the county.
1t is claimed that the assessed val
uation Of land is too high, in some
cases being more than the actual mar
ket value of the land 1t seems that
such organizations have been active
in other counties in the state and are
under way in Musselshell, Judith Ba-
sin, Yellowstone and Cascade. The
movement is wholly bipartisan and
has the support of persons of all po-
litical affiliations.
In Musselshell county, values or
tillable ands have been forced down tc
$3.50 per acre vauation and graz.
ing lands to $3.50 per acre valua-
tion.
In Judith Basin county, with for
mer assessed valuation of $9,000,000
a reduction has been made to $6,O00,.
900, and later revised upwards to ST.
225, 700 in order not to restrict neces-
sary road work and other urgent i'm.
provements.
1t is claimed that Valley county has
been doing business on inflated values
for some years and conditions
grew steadily worse so that no remedy
appears except Taxpayers's League
in the county, patterned along the
same lines as such organizations il
other counties.
The matter was submitted to the
board of directors of the county farm
bureau last Saturday, but no actor
was taken regarding it.

COURT ASKED TO
REMOVE SHERIFF
Charges Filed Against Sheriff Martin
of Daniels County Before
Judge Conner.

According to information received
from Scobey complaint citing eleven
distinct an dseparate charges of a
most serious nature against Sheriff
Dave Martin of Daniels county, Coun-
ty Attorney John Nyquist Saturday
morning filed the necessary papers in
District Court during he pesence of
Hon. Judge c. E. Conner, and service
will be made upon Martin by County
Coroner James Il. Sparkling of Flax
Vile.
The filing of the complaint and pc
tition for temporary removal by the
Courtcwas apparently no surprise to
the great majority of the residents
of Daniels county who have, for many
months, heard the subject discussed
on the streets and in public places, but
never from an authoritative source,
as the county attorney remained silent
on the affair until morally certain
that the sheriff was not unjustly ac-
cused and sufficient evidence had been
secured to warrant his removal and
conviction.
1t is rumored that some of Martins
friends approached him some time ago
on the subject, stating that Nyquist's
suspicious had been aroused last fall,
that certain occurrences since that
time had led the public to believe that
those suspicious were we'll founded
and that Nyquist would surely probe
into the affair until he secured evil
dence either of the sheriff's innocence
or guilt.
1t is also reported that the attorney
general of the state, who issued a
statement some time ago setting forth
his course of action in such cases,
will take an active part in the case,
having examined thoroughly the COM
plant and testimony on which the
charges are based.

Wells To Go Down Near Vandalia;
New Era in Oil Situation in State

to be erected at Billings, has beer
raised and two refinery propositions
are being organized in Lewistown by
local capitalists.
Besides this, there have been two
exceptionally good pipe lines for con.
veying oil, built from the Cat Greek
field to the railroad at Winnett, which
can handle a flow of 10000 barrels OF
oil per day. The two companies own
ing the pipelines have tank capacities
for storing at least 100000 barrels OF
oil, if necessary, having erected two
big tanks with combined capacity of
10000 barrels, on the pipeline route
into Winnett from the field, these in
addition to the many other smaller
tanks which have also been built
The discovery well in the SOAP
Greek district is said to have capa-
city of about 800 barrels per day, and
previous to Gaping, wha could not
be taken care of by tankage was i'm
pounded in reservoir of considerable
size. Several other wells are being
drilled on this structure, which is
about 30 miles southeast of Billings
with Hardin as the nearest town or
consequence.
Many New Operations.
1t will be noted that these opera
tions are confined to certain limited
fields. AS in the case at Glasgow
intimations are numerous that these
prospecting operations will be extend
ed. This appears from the news col
umns of this paper, and is especially
true in this locality-northeastern
Montana. Drilling is expected to COM
mence soon at OsWego, more wells are
contemplated at Chinook, as a new re-
port on the Bowes structure says:
"The Bowes structures have four
sands, all within the reach of the
drill, which are very favorably To-
Gated and which are of sufficient thick
ness and porosity to make favorable
reservoirs for the accumulation OF
large quantities of oil and gas
100 New Wells In Sight.
Various reports are received from
Nashua, Poplar and other nearer
towns that prospect wells may be
driven during the summer. One hun
dred new wells are now under con-
sideration or commenced.
On the whole it can be said with
assurance that the new era in oil de-
velopment now commencing, may pro-
duce large results for this part of the
Treasure state.

TILLAGE TESTS
AT BUTTON FARM
County Farm Bureau Will Picnic and
See Standard Machines for Til
ling Demonstration.

A tilling demonstration under the
auspices of the county farm bureau
and the county agent will be held
Tuesday, June 21, on the Button place
one and three-fourths miles east of
the Fair grounds, on the Roosevelt
highway.
The occasion will be devoted to the
demonstration of different summer
fallow tools. Among those expected

Rotary Rod, the Massey-Harris, John
Deere, Forkner and other standard
manufacturers, with homemade
cultivator by the Halliday brothers.
At noon there will be lunch, the
Farm Bureau serving coffee, those at
tending to bring sandwiches and other
edibles, and cups, spoons, etc. After
this there will be talk on the best
methods of tillage by Prof. Ogard
state crop specialist, following which
the actual field test and demonstra.
ton will be held.
All farmers are invited to be pres.
ent and a large attendance is ex.
pected.

Test oil wells will be sunk near
Vandalia soon-will certainly be fin
lshed during summer, according to
the statement to the Courier by L. O.
Johnson, secretary of the Havlin Oil
company, corroborated by that of j.
P. Thomas, geologist for the company.
This concern comes here with the
highest recommendations, among 9TH
ers being the fact that they are a
close corporation with 100000 paid
up capital stock, none of which is for
sale. w. H. Havlin, whose address is
the Waldorf rf-Astoria, New York City
is president, John C. Smith, of Harris
burg, Pennsylvania, is vice president,
and the other stockholders are prin-
cipally eastern men. The secretary is
L. 0. Johnson, Montana man whose
address is Hamilton.
Thirty Years Experience.
Mr.. Thomas the geologist, is from
Kansas City, Missouri, and has had
thirty years experience in the oil
game in all parts Of the country. Hav-
ing no stock to sell, and not being
curbed by any government or de.
partment rule, Mr.. Thomas is disposed
to talk rather freely about the Mon
tana oil fields and particularly about
what his company is going to do in
this part of the state. He was quite
explicit excepting as to the exact 10.
cation Of the wells, and the company
holdings, saying that these We're mat
ters to be released after he had made
his report, by the company directors
He promised the report for publication
later.
Other Deposits "Puddles.''
Mr.. Thomas said that the report
was favorable. He explained this by
saying that it was Favorable" to the
entire oil territory he had inspected
between Glasgow and Havre; that ir
an experience of thirty years he hac
never seen so many oil structures. The
duty Of the geologist in his case was
to determine at what point on the
companv's holding he would first rec
ommend drilling. He determined this
last Saturday and will release the
information soon, as stated He addec
that the company had holdings neal
Lewiston, but that he thought the
oil deposits there, while many ant
large, were puddles as compared t.
lakes, when likened to those which
should be found in northeastern Mon
tana. There were five distinct OF
structures in this part of the state

LABOR WARNED REGARDING
IRISH AGITATION.

Auditorium, Denver, June H.
Warning against any agitation
that might disrupt the American
labor movement, James H.
Thomas, British labor leader, told
*the American Federation of Labor
convention Tuesday that it could
not solve the Irish problem.
For 100 years We in England
have been confronted with the
problem of Ireland and if we at
home cannot solve that problem,
let me ask how do you, 5000 miles
away, expect to solve it,"
Mr.. Thomas addressed the con-
ventiOn as a fraternal delegate
from the British trade union con-
gress.
British labor, he continued.
''has always stood and stands now
for liberty. We stand for home
rule for Ireland.
Let me warn you against any
agitation that might disrupt your
movement here in America by cre-
ating differences among your
selves. Do not mistake me. Brit
ish labor stands for Irish freedom;
the only limitation we insist upon
is that Ireland shall not be allowed
to become menace.
For one hundred years the peO-
pie of Ireland have bene deceived.

PLAN TO HELP CATTLEMEN
WITHOUT ADDITIONAL LAWS

Washington, Jnne 9.-Plans for pro-
viding credit facilities for cattle rails
ers without new legislation are under
consideration by treasury officials.
The proposal, it was explained today,
would be an alternative to the federal
reserve boards recent recommended
ton for legislation to make available
to the war finance corporation $780,
100000 for loans in the industry.
Details of the new plan We're not
disclosed, but it was said quicker re-
lef could be afforded cattlement and
that it would preclude war finance cor
poration activity in the cattle situa-
ton, as that agency could only act
under congressional authority.
The reserve boards recommended
ton for relief for the cattle industry
was announced by Governor Harding
Sunday night.

one of them about 40 miles long, the
others smaller.
Reports like this one from the Hav-
lin company, seem to be quite num-
erous elsewhere and when coupled with
the vast number of wells contemplated
on new territory, mark a new era in
the oil development in Montana. The
probabilities seem to be, from a sum-
mary of geological reports, that the
oil deposits of the state have hardly
been tapped, up to this date, and that
untold LIQUID millions lie under the
northern and northeastern portions of
the state, waiting for eastern capital
and Montana enterprise to join hands
in their development.
What Has Been Done.
A resume of what has been done
is appropriate:
There are now total of 40 pro-
ducing wells in the Cat Greek field,
not counting the Ten Spot, Decker
Collins or the Montacal well No. /.
all of which are commonly supposed
by the general pubic to be water
wells, but which, nevertheless. are all
showing plenty of oil rising on the
water.
Operations in the DEVILS Bosin are
beginning 10 attract attention. The
Alberta Block Coal company, a Coma
dian concern, went into this district
about a wear ago and drilled a we'll
which will produce 70 barrels on the
swab and should pump twice as much
and is also about to complete it's sec
ond well. Another Canadian group
has financed the drilling of two wells.
The Van Dusen well undoubtedly had
this same flow Of oil, but lost it in an
effort to drill deeper, and an effort
is being made to save the oil that
comes from the Van Dusen sands.
There are forty-one rigs drilling
now in the Cat Creek field alone,
twelve wells under way in the Devils
Basin. and at least ten others in the
other structures in Montana, making
a total number of 63 wells, a good
share of which are confidently ex-
pected to bring in production within
the next 80 days.
There are two small homemade
topping plants being operated in the
Cat Creek field, from which perhaps
25 barrels of gasoline are being pro-
duced daily, smaller one near Jor-
dan. while plant costing 100000
has been completed at Miles City, and
half the money for 100000 plant

THE CITY FLOWER
GARDEN COMING FINE

The city flower garden at the light
and water plant is coming on fine
and in another month will be thing
of beauty.
Supt. Hughes set out $50 plants,
only three of which have died ;some of
the remainder are already blooming
and others are coming up. The lawn
is one of the finest in town, of sweet
clover and Kentucky Blue grass, it
new presents beautiful green, vel
vetv appearance.
The buildings have been repainted
and with the sweet peas and morning
glories coming on, will soon present
a luxurious picture. On the whole the
little park is worth visiting.

GIVES PLEASURE
and EDUCATION
Girls Camp at Glasgow A Marked
Success-Excellent Management
SO Present.

Thirty-six delighted Valley county
girls are present at the girls camp at
the high school grounds on the north
side, which is being held this week
under the direction of Mrs. Geo. Berry
of the Red Cross, and Miss Erickson,
county home demonstration agent.
This is the first camp of this kind
ever held in Montana and in speaking
of its objects Mrs. Berry said in sub
stance, that the idea was to get the
country girls together and keep them
under observation, giving them a good
time and an instructive outing in
town. Both of the ladies are high in
their praises of members of the Cham
ber of Commerce, and all others who
have entered into the spirit of the
occasion and have done much in the
way of actual manual assistance, and
of furnishing entertainment for the
girls. The camp feature is chiefly
the sleeping out The beds are spread
in large tent, procured from the
state college for the purpose, and
pitched near the high school. Prof.
Williams has turned the school build
ing over to the ladies, and the girls
eat and dress in the domestic science
rooms and in the gym. The manage
ment, for carrying out the plans,
seems to have been supurb, as the
girls have all the hygenic advantages
Of living out doors, coupled with the
cenveniences of our up todate school
building.
The program as published has been
adhered to and classes are held in
such matters as will aid the girls at
home. Miss Caroline Parker, of the
Anti-Tuberculosis association, is Civ
ing lectures in first aid and nursing;
Mrs. Shanks, the high school domestic
science teacher has given number of
talks on home improvement, and has
showed the girls how to make their
homes better places in which to live
without expense. DR.. Hoyt gave a
talk in connection with Demonstra-
ton by the fire department, on fire
prevention, and all things consid-
cred, the girls will carry to thei1
homes, in the different parts of the
county, much information that will be
of value to the entire family, as well
as of great Importance in their own
respective after lives. Miss Ludhoff
