Minneapolis Lawyer Here

The very adversely experienced in
Toole county for the past few years
in an agricultural way has made fog
a diversity of ownership of the coun-
tvs lands, much of which now contain
oil. AS a result those who find them
selves the lucky holders of leases or
royalty interests are scattered thru
out the Union, and not a day passes
hardly in Shelby but some n of
these absent owners show up to see
for themselves the wonderful oil field
that has been so widely advertised
and suddenly developed here.
Among such owners is H. E. Fry
berger, a lawyer and wealthy resid NJ
of Minneapolis, who returned to Shell
by Monday for another inspection
while enroute home from a trip to
Portland. Mr.. Fryberger owns 800
acres in 1882 west, known as the
Olson place, and the recent strike Of
heavy production by the Gladys-Belle
Oil company has renewed his interest
in his holdings, as it is not only To-
Gated a short distance from the big
producer but the same company has

A TOWN WITH A FUTURE

Shelby is slowly but surely justify
ing its title as "The Oil City,"
While overlooked by many in the
first rush into the new oil field, it has
steadily gained and all its gain has
been substantial, permanent and only
a promise of what may be expected
for a town on the main line of one of
the greatest transcontinental rail
roads, and branch north directly thru
the oil field to the C. P. r. connec-
tions on the Canadian boundary and
south to Great Falls and service over
the Burlington, the gateway to n of
the biggest and probably the greatest
oil fields in the whole country.
Not only is Shelby the headquart-
ers for almost every operating COM
pany in the entire field but more and
more is it becoming the place where

New Garage Firm

A deal was closed last Wednesday
when the W-B garage vas sold by
Truman Boss and Sam Warnock to
Nels Midboe, Robt. Carroll and Law
renee Sunby. The new proprietors
took charge Immediately. The deal
includes an option on the building
held by the retiring firm. All three
of the new firm have been employed
in the Eckel garage of this city and
are we'll known mechanics, Mr.. Mid
Doe taking charge of the repair de-
partment. While plans have not yet
been fully matured, it is contemplated
to take on the sales agency of a popu-
lar automobile.
The garage is located cast Of the

place will hereafter be known as the

At the Liberty

One of the finest pictures of the
season will be seen at the Liberty
theatre IN Thursday and Friday when
Cecil B. DeMille's superb production
Saturday Night" will be shown. Some
say it is DeMille's greatest and that
is saying much. The cast is practic-
ally all star and includes Beatrice Joy,
Conrad Nagel, Edith Roberts, Jack
Mower and the grand old mar of the
screen, Theodore Roberts.
The story deals with the marriage
problem. AS might be expected in a
DeMille production Saturday Night"
has been produced on a lavish scale
and includes a realistic crash between
a train and motor car in addition to a
tenement fire of intense realism.
Saturday Night is a production that
lovers of good pictures cannot ignore.

Frank Duffy, Galata
Secretary Committee

At the organization meeting of the
Toole county Democratic central COM
rnittec in Shelby last Wednesday eve
ming, Frank Duffy of Galata was
chosen as secretary-treasurer, and
Sam Kelly as chairman. c. G. Bishop,
editor of the Shelby Promoter was
selected state committeeman, succeed
ing Thos. Meade who declined, after
long service, to accept the office
again. A later date was set for an
other meeting, when party candidates
are to be present and when vacancies
in the committee will be filled, The
Courier is informed, and plans form
ulated to put on an energetic cam
paign prior to the November general
election.

California Locates
New Drill Sites

Parties returning from the field
Monday evening informed the Courier
that locations had been made by the
California company for two new drill
sites and while confirmation of this
could not be obtained at the Shelby
office of the company, as the particu-
lar men in charge of that work were
not in, the report is believed to be
well founded. The locations are said
to be offsets to the Morton well in the
southeast of the southeast of 13-34-2
west, one just cross the road cast in
the southwest Of the southwest of 49,
34-l west and the other a west offset
to the Morton. e
The report followed on the heels Of
a visit to the local field Sunday Of
F. II. Hillman and ]. M. Atwell, vice
presidents of the Standard Oil Com
pany of California of which the Cali
for1lia company is the Montana sub
sidiary, and it is believed that the big
company will pursue an active drill
ing campaign on the Morton lease, the
first well on which proved a good
producer, and adjacent land. The
company has very large holdings in
this sector, the Morton lease alone
being $40 acres. Aside from the Troy
Sweetgrass syndicate, the California
company's biologists were the first to
correctly appraise the value Of this
part Of the field, which is now being
brought to the public's attention by
the production in the Morton well aud
the report Of the United States Geo
survey.
The Montana courier. [volume] (Shelby, Mont.) 1922-192?, 1922-09-13

only "a per cent less than the total
quantity produced in this country dur
ing the AZ years intervening between
the drilling of the first oil well in
1859 and 1906, the year in which the
consumption of petroleum and its
products began to show a marked in
crease.
In 1906 the domestic production of
crude oil was only 127, ZOO, 900 barrels.
The industry existed to fill the de-
mands for a few million barrels of
kerosene and lubricating oil.
Today, the refineries Of the United
States could refine in so days, the
entire 1906 domestic production of
crude oil. Gasoline, which is now the
chief commercial product Of crude, is
being produced at the rate Of 140,-
100000 barrels a year.
The Montana courier. [volume] (Shelby, Mont.) 1922-192?, 1922-09-13

the actual buying and selling of oil
lands takes place and wnere compa-
MES are being organized. A prominent
Minneapolis capitalist, spending sew
eral days here last week and who has
large holdings in the field, told The
Courier that this was the logical point
for oil men to congregate and that he
believed that many Of them who at
present we're attempting to promote
or organize elsewhere, would find it
much easier and certainly a convent
ence to prospective buyers if .hey had
headquarters here, at the gateway TO
the field itself, where the actual oper-
atoms could be seen in a half hours
drive and where the immensely of the
oil area could be impressed upon visi-
tors.
The recent location of a site for
drilling by the Ohio Oil company with
in a short distance of this city makes
one realize how neal is the possible
productive area itself and the publ
cation of the report of the U. S. Geo
logical survey report, but recently
made and to be found elsewhere in
The Courier, gives wide publicity to
what many authorities have said that
the top of the giant structure c~enters
near the Troy-Sweet Grass syndicate
weu-WHICH PUTS SHELBY AS
NEAR THE CENTER OF THE OIL
FIELD AS ANY OTHER TOWN, be-
sides being the natural headquarters
for the whole field. The geological
theory as set forth in the government
report is well established, since the
gathering of the data upon which this
report was made, by the actual drill
ing tests, showing the biggest produc-
ton in wells south of the original

-Troy-Sweetgrass to Spud

Following the announcement made
by President T. P. Jones of the Troy
Sweetgrass Oil syndicate that that
company had spotted two sites for
drilling Of standard wells, mention of
which was made in The Courier last
week, ome the news that one Of the
wells is to be spudded in within a few
days. The first n to be drilled is
located on the northeast of the south
west Of section 29-34-1 west. Rumor
that the deep test hole of the company
had been abandoned, was denied by
K. G. Luke to a Courier representative
Monday, he adding that this may have
been occasioned by the fact that pipe
was being hauled to connect the gas
from the test well for fuel for the
new drilling. He said that drilling of
the deep test would be continued. The
government report places the highest
part of the big dome in the immediate
vicinity of the Troy-Sweet Grass COM
pany's original drilling site.
This company is a pioneer in the
field and with its program for the
sinking of two large holes, it will
soon no dsubt be in the producing
class.

his lease and already have a derrick
up on his land. He has made several
trips here during the spring and sum
mer but when he leaves now he will
do so with the utmost confidence that
he has 800 acres of very rich oil land,
and as he is prominent in business
circles of the Twin Cities and has an
extensive acquaintance throughout the
central and eastern states, he no
doubt will be a good witness as to the
truth of the extent and richness of
Montana's giant new oil field.

: Oil Field Notes :

The Rattlesnake Butte structure
lying eight miles south of Choteau
and directly on the road from Great
Falls to the county seat Of Teton
county, is being drilled by the Mon
tana Giant Oil company, a Washing
ton corporation.
The West Dome No. II, Sc Il of
SEA, 9-15-29 east, came in last week
in the Cat Creek field with a product
ion estimated at from 700 to 1000
barrels per day.
Lewistown, Sept. THE well of
the West Dome company, generally
designated at the A. C. M. syndicate,
was fully through the second sand
with a depth of 1444 feet. This gives
Cat Creek IL gushers from the second
sand and a total of SO producing wells
since the discovery well was com
pleted in February, 1920.
The work of setting casing right to
the bottom of the Republic well in Cat
Creek, on the Brush Creek dome, has
been completed and when bailing is
done, drilling will be started at 1000
feet. Ardmore, Okla, men have spud-
ded in a well in section 1850, Cat
Creek, contractor Edwards doing the
work.
Malta, Sept. This week the
drilling outfit belonging to the Bow
doin Oil 6 Gas company is being
moved from the present site On the
shore of Lake Bowdoin to new point
farther east of the present location.
Lambert, Sept. John Campbell
inspected the Poplar oil dome during
the past week. Accompanied by j. w
Phillips of the Pioneer Oil company,
Mr.. Campbell was driven over the
field, both north and south of
the Missouri river. He declared that if
