which the well had a small amount. had
been headed up when the well was not
bailed for three days and had caused
it to blow off. This was also the opin-
ion of Mark o. Danford of the Mid
Northern, who returned from the field
Thursday night and had visited the well.
Both said that the blowing off had
shown the well to be even better than
had been expected previously.
The well was reported shut off with
a control head Thursday afternoon.
Bailing at the California-Able well,
section 20-35-2 w, continued Thursday
and reports were that there was some
slight increase in the proportion of oil
to water.
Two new wells that are nearing the
sand are claiming much interest among
oil men. The Mid-Northern on the
Dawson-Merkle tract in section $780,
w. was reported down some 1,150 feet
when a slight crook in the hole made
it necessary to come back to 30 feet.
The w. z. Rice well is down 1920
feet. on section 1852 w.
The Rainbow Oil company well on
section 1858 w. is reported at LAO
feet and understanding. The Black
Magic, in section 1858 W., is at
/ 1880 feet.
The Illinois Pipe Line company is
beginning to lay pipe from the spur
being constructed at Sunburst. Thomas
Kenney of the company is on the
ground and will remain in active charge
of operations for the next two weeks.

Rev. A. G.. Bennett and B. [.
Millikin Address
Civilian.

Musical numbers and talks on the
place of education and the church in
democracy composed the program Of
the Civitan club Thursday noon at the
Hotel Rainbow at it's luncheon meeting.
The music for the meeting was ar
ranged by w. F. Bennyhoff and in
Guided a violin solo by Miss Gladys
Pierson, accompanied by Miss Mildred
Kufus. George Bennyhoff played a
saxophone solo. accompanied by Miss
Kufus. Miss Jennie Monsen gave a
reading. Civilian songs were sung.
An intellectual and moral renaissance
is 10 be brought about by education
through the schools and churches,
Bruce f. Millikin. new superintendent
Of the city schools, told the Civilian
members in a brief talk. He said that
the schools are recognizing their re-
sponsibility in the teaching of good cit
izenship and discussed methods of
bringing this about.
Henry Ford recently said that the
text books of the present do not cOn-
tain the moral maxims as of old" he
said. Il do not think that this is true,
but | do think that the method of in
struction in morality has changed
somewhat in education.
This is a day of works rather than
words in teaching citizenship. The
personal contact method is the effec-
tive plan now in vogue in the schools"
The Rev. Alexander Bennett told of
the church's work in building citizens.
He outlined the passing Of monarchy
and the rise of democracy with the need
for a better and higher type of citizen.

BAND CLOSES
CONCERTS FOR
1922 SEASON
Attendance at Each Appear
ance in Excess of
1900.

With the last concert Of the season
played last Friday, the Great Falls
Municipal band closed a successful
season, according to William Moerl of
the Kiwanis club, who headed the com
mittee of that organization sponsoring
the band.
During the season. in addition to
donating its services for public occa-
sions. Joining in conventions and in
the entertainment of city guests. tho
band gave II public concerts. Each Of
these concerts. it is estimated, had not
less than 1900 persons in attendance
This estimate was reached by the fact
that the 1900 printed programs each
concert night failed to be sufficient for
the crowd.
The band will probably close its sea
son with the three days to be spent at
the state fair. The contract for this
engagement is expected to be signed
within the next few days and band
viii play in Helena on Wednesday.
Thursday and Friday of fair week.
Wednesday will be Great Falls day, to
he opened by the Municipal band.
With coming of the winter months,
the plan of the band is to maintain it's
regular practices, and Charles Bye,
leader during the summer. will direct
these.
"The Kiwanis club has enjoyed this
opportunity for unique public service"
said Moerl. THE movement is well
started and we believe that we have
demonstrated that there is a popular
demand for the band concerts. We
hope that the city will take advantage
of the law permitting if to levy a small
tax for the support of the band. Such
a tax would mean but a few cents to
each taxpayer and would bring big re-
turns. When such is the case. the
Kiwanis club will be glad to have the
whole city take over charge of the Or
ganization and we will give our efforts
to other works.
with Sam Weekes and Howard
Stanley of our committee. We are now
collecting on the pledges which made
possible the band for Great Falls this

BEING
HARDWARE IRII
Marshall-Wells Begins Expan-
sion of Facilities in Great
Falls.

In response to Increased demands in
its district of Mout7ns for hardware,
the Marshall Wells HARDWARE company
IS now constructing n new warehouse
for heavy hardware. =. r.. Stickan,
branch manager. announced Thursday.
The new warehouse will be 80 by
100 feet and is located on the Chicago.
Milwaukee 81 st. Paul railway at Ninth
avenue south. IT will also be built
with a large loading platform and will
be one story, of galvanized iron on a
steel frame, making it fireproof. The
warehouse will cost some $4,000 in
addition to the cost Of the site and is
a part of a general expansion policy
that the company had outlined for the
state branch.
With the development of business

S24 Second street south, Stickan an
nounced. The building is already two
stories. 80 by 100 feet.
Although the company has been in
its Great Falls location since 1920
said Stickan, due to business condi-
tons, it has not assumed a policy of
expansion. Conditions are now i'm
proving so that we find it necessary
to have more room and We are going
out to get all the business that our
territory can provide. Since May /,
there has been an upward tendency in
business and we have had to add five
Or six additional workers to u staff.
We have already added the old Wilbur
storage house to our facilities"

G. N. SHOPMEN
FORM UNIONS
OVER SYSTEM
Great Falls Employees Take 1ni.
tial Steps to Join Organi-
cation.

Initial steps were taken here Thurs
day night toward the establishment of
a permanent shop crafts organization
among Great Northern railway shopmen
employed since the strike at a meet
ing of 200 shop workers in the big ma
chine shop. Final action toward per-
fecting the organization will be taken
at another meeting which will be held
within the next few days.
Plans were discussed whereby the
newly created shop crafts organization
will establish seniority rights of its
members as employees of the Great
Northern system. The new organiza-
ton means the wiping out of the old
shop crafts union here as far as any
recognition by the Great Northern Is
concerned, it was reported by Great
Northern officials. Seniority rights OF
members of the new organization begin
with the date of their service with the
company since the walkout of the old
employees, July l.
The movement here TO effect a per-
manent shop crafts organization is in
line with a similar movement instituted
over the entire Great Northern system.
The idea in forming the organization is
to create an institution that will be
recognized by the United States Rail
way Labor board, and a definite and
permanent method of establishing semi
ority rights and keeping a record OF
those rights for the members OF the
new shop crafts organization.
The trade personnel of the ~organlza-
ton includes seven separate shop crafts
each craft naming three representatives.
at Thursdays meeting. Each of the
seven crafts will send n representa-
tive to st. Paul some time this month
| at which time a new shop crafts union
flor the entire Great Northern system
will be created. The organization
effected here Thursday will. Though
its representatives at that meeting,
be installed as a local union OF the
new system-wide union of shop crafts.
The trades included in the new local
organization and the three members of
each craft elected to represent the
trades are: Machinists. Frank Blake,

PENNED UP GAS
CAUSES FURRY
AT GLADYS WELL
Flows in Heads for Several
Hours; Improves Status
of Hole.

Gas, headed up when the well was not
bailed. caused a flow of oil and gas in
termittently for from two to three
hours Thursday morning at the Gladys
Belle well. section 1882 w, in the
Kelvin Sunburst field, according to re-
ports from Shelby.
The oil and gas came in a head in
the morning, when the crew at the well
started to bail, it was reported. The
bailing evidently agitated the gas with
the resulting flow. The flow came in
heads, at times spraying almost as
high as the derrick, according to per-
sons at the well. Oil was thrown for
some distance about the well and some
nersons said they believed that from
90 to 100 barrels of oil flowed. Some
other reports said the flow was less
than this. while some ran higher.
