NEW CASING Down
IN CAMPBELL WELL;
DRILLING RESUMED
Cave-In Over 15-Inch Bit
Compels Halt Which Is
Now Thing of Past.

Twelve and half inch casing has
been placed in the Campbell-Kevin
well at Kelvin and drilling begun with
a 1917 inch bitt, according to l.. G..
Stevenson. secretary-treasurer of the
Gordon Campbellkevin syndicate,
who received a telegram Friday night
from Gordon Campbell.
Installation of the 1912 inch casing
was neccssitated by cave-ins above
the Is inch bitt. To clear out the
cave-in the smaller casing was low
cred above a 1919 inch bitt, the deoris
cleared out, the casing removed to
enable the drillers to pull ont the II
inch bitt. and then the casing returned
to the hole.
The telegram from Mr.. Campbell
Friday night marks the completion Of
the work Of clearing out the cave-in
and the resumption Of forcing the hole
to further depth. which has been held
up for several days.
MIR. Stevenson stated that Mr.
Campbell is reserving statement as to
any exact depth at which he thinks
The first sand will be reached for the
reason that while the log of the well
shows that the nature of the forma-
ton is running as expected the thick
ness of the shales is so much greater
than in some other districts of the
Montana fields that he is not able to
make any sure calculations as to exact
depths at which the sands should be
reached.

Keenness Added to Interest in
Search for Possible Pool
in Browning Section.
Special to The Tribune.


Winnett, July 1.-The Homestake
Oil Co., is now dismantling the
No. 2 well and hauling the rig irons
and part Of the equipment to Winnett,
where it is being loaded on cars for
shipment to Browning in the northern
part of the state, where the Homestake
people have secured permits on the
Blackfeet Indian reservation and will
start sinking well at once. The
lumber for the rig and other material
needed has already been ordered and is
expected that Superintendent Sontaug
will leave for Browning with the rig
builders within few days for the pur-
pose of prosecuting the work as rapid
" as possible.
It is also understood that several
companies organized by the Blackfeet
Indians from among their own numbers
will begin drilling operations in the
vicinity Of Browning during the course
of the summer.
1t is interesting to note L 1t eight or
ten years ago several oil weels were
sunk on what is now the Glacier Ma
tional Park, but as they were located
virtually among the mountains, it is
shown by modern geology that they
never had a chance of securing oil.
The operations of the Homestake
company will be watched with keen in
terest by the Old men Of the state, as
the Blackfeet structure is considered
to be as near perfect as it would be
possible to find.

Worm Army Climbs
Over House; Forces
Auto to Use Chains
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
HarIowton, July In addition
to the grasshopper pest, which the
county of Golden Valley has Just
organized to combat, an attack Of
an army OF worms was reported to
II. e. Strong, of Barber, who i'm.
mediately phoned to the county
agent, A. D. Anderson, at Harlow
ton, for advice in the matter.
The worms descended upon
garden near Barber, stripping it
clean in a few minutes. Continuing
their advance, they turned aside for
no obstacle, but went straight over
the house, entirely concealing the
color of the paint and causing it to
assume a gray, greenish color.
When they reached the road, they
were so thick that a passing auto
mobile was forced to put on chains
to get through.
The worm is known as a SUGAR
beet web worm and is an enemy to
Russian thistle and other weeds,
Ordinarily it does no damage to
crops, but when a garden gets in
its line of march, the garden disap-
pears. BY blowing burrows in front
of the advance most of the army
will be caught. Post holes NAV also
be dug in the burrows and the
worms will fall in and may easily
be exterminated.

Special to The Tribune.
Winnett, July 1.-The West Dome
No. 5 well is now down approximately
800 feet and is making such splendid
time that it is expected in some time
toward the latter part of next week.
The No. 6 was spudded in last Sat-
urday and is now down over 300 feet,
while preparations are being made to
spud in the No. Z. The site for the
No. 8 we'll has been spotted and the
rig builders are now at work erect
ing the derrick. Nos. 9 and 10 will be
spotted very shortly and the material
for the erection 6f derricks is already
on hand at the main camp.
All in all it appears as tho the West
Dome people have no intention Of
slowing up operations on account of
summer heat, low prices for crude Gil
or anything else 1t has been ru-
mored that the West Dome will short
ly begin drilling operations on some
of their extensive holdings in the
northern part of the state. but this
rumor could not be authenticated at
the Winnett office.
Uncle Sam Keeps Watch nf7
It is not generally known that the
close watch on the operations in Cat
Creek and on oil development through
out the state generally and chat
practically every well in the field is
logged by U. S. geologst and all val
liable data compiled and put on file
for use at some future date, when it
will appear for the benefit Of the gen
eral public in the form of govern
ment pamphlet. The Bureau Of Mines
has established an office at Winnett
under the management Of Geologist
Beecher, who also has a permanent
assistant in the field who daily gathers
data for Uncle Sam It is also a
common thing for the larger operat-
ing companies to maintain scouts to

In that event the Alberta No. pos

This sand corresponds to the sand in
which the Soap Greek operators have

sand was penetrated, with a shell Of
hard lime about feet thick, midway
down the formation, showings Of oil

Action.

Great satisfaction over the favor
able action taken by the Senate Dis
trict committee in reporting to the
Senate the Commissioners bill author
ising pawnbrokers' loan law interest
rate increased to 2 per cent a month
is expressed today bv the citizens
committee on the loan law through its
chairman. William F. GUIDE.
1t is stated by the committee, which
was mainly responsible for the loan
legislation. that this change will make
the law workable. not only for small
loans, out for pawnbrokers' loans as
well. Mr.. GUIDES statement follows, in
part:
Mr.. Gude's Statement.
Former President Taft said, upon
signing the loan bill. that he was not
satisfied, that pawnbrokers with suf-
hcient capital could not do a iegiti-
mate business under the law. but that
the subject was one in respect to
which an experiment in legislation
might properly be made and IL it
turned out that 1 per cent was too
low. Congress. in IT'S wisdom, might
increase the rate to ~ or 2 per cent.
The result has been just what was
expected and because Congress has not
oeooCotiOH
when President in response to continued
demands by the various civic organiza-
tions. not one dollar has been loaned
under the law for more than five years,
and during all that time citizens Of the
District, who needed small sums in
emergencies. have been compelled to go
to Virginia as was predicted, and pay
for loans at least so per cent more than
the rate in the bill which the Senate
District committee has just approved.
Aids Small Borrowers.
at would be a great mistake not to
have the law apply. as 1t does, both to
small loans on indorsed notes or other
security. as we'll as to pawnbrokers'
loans. Application is made to banks
every day for loans which cannot be
granted because the sums needed are so
small. Such loans, which are Just as
legitimate for those who need them as
larger ones, and which are paid in small
installments, necessarily command
higher rate. such as Is provided for by
the pending bill. Nearly all the leading
states Of the country have such a pro-
vision for small loans, and as the need,
because of conditions here. is certainly
no less in the District than elsewhere,
it Is to be hoped that Congress will
speedily remedy the difficulty by passing

The troubles in the Eastern section

appearing in the printing industry,
where some printers are attempting to
put forty-four hour week into effect
and in the railroad situations. 1t is be-

Wage cuts ranging from 20 to 20 per
