new WELL CLAIMED
TO BE STATES BIGGEST
(Winnett Times)

Saturday proved to be the gala day
in the history of the Cat Greek field
when the d-Northern drillers sud
denly pierced the sands of Clayton
No. 18 and thereby brought forth
Montana's biggest oil well. This well
located on the SEA SEA of sec
ton 11-18-29, is the farthest north
we'll and is the first to be drilled into
the second sand in this part of the
field.
The we'll was brought in early Sat
urday morning and was complete
surprise. The first sand had proven
to be barron and it was decided to
carry the hole down as test. To
the complete surprise of the men IN
charge the big flow was encountered
at a depth of 1887 feet.
An Oil Dam
In order to save as much of the
oil as possible as it came gushing
through the casing and flowed down
the coulee 1t was necessary to re-
cruit several crews and hurriedly
build a great dam. In this manner
a large amount of the oil was saved.
Superintendent Craig was in Great
Falls at the time the well was drilled
in but was Immediately notified of
the great strike. He arrived on the
train and took charge of the well
that afternoon. On account of the
intense pressure considerable diff
Guilty was experienced in placing the
control head and getting the proper
into the storage tanks.

WOLF POINT JOINS
NEICHBORS ON 4TH
POPULACE SCATTERED TO ALL
POINTS-GOOD TIMES AND
GOOD WETTING

Running true to tradition the
Glorious Fourth included some red
hot weather and a soaking rain. A
large proportion of Wolf Pointers
celebrated with our neighbors and
the experiences of many have been
heard but the total number who got
wet has not been arrived at but it
is large figure.
In the city the only thing out of
the ordinary was the Indian parade
and dance. About noon a large num-
ber came in from their camp at
Chicken Hill, decked in their fine
costumes and entertained the large
crowd that gathered with dances and
songs, concluding with an invitation
to the whites to visit them at the
camp, where they have been for a
week, repeating the ceremonies of
the days long past. Many really pic
turesque and beautiful costumes
were displayed. The Eastend In
dians held celebration at Poplar.
In All Directions
Town or country celebrations were
held at Glasgow, Wolf Greek, Tyler's
Ranch, Froid, Nickwall and Sand
Greek. At all of these places Wolf
Point was represented, the country
celebrations pulling strongest. Big
crowds gathered at all of the Big
Four country points -Tyler's, Wolf
Co1,J CYool- ,xI NTioIy,ya1 IT apd
there was entertainment and sport
for all. But the evening bowery
dances were spoiled by the rain that
came up quickly from the west about
seven o'clock.
At Tyler's there was some good
riding, roping and COW boy stunts
and a close ball game in which Per-
shing won from Box Elder.
At Wolf Greek there was good
horse racing, ball games and other
sports. A fine address by Rev. A. 0.
Johnson of this city was on the
program. Large crowds and fine
lines are reported from both Sand
Creek and Nickwall
The city of Froid pulled off an ex-
.eptionally good program that was
ull of pep and entertainment for
Glasgow had big crowd and full
lay of sports. Wolf Point sent a
all team to meet the Glasgow nine
nd got thoroughly trounced. But
t leaves the count for the season
yith Glasgow 2 to 1 in our favor
The Lutheran congregation held
icnic on the river and there were
large number of family picnics in
he nearby country.

the working schedule and working
conditions, important among them
being the contract and piece work

The cut from 40 to 35 cents is for

1t appears that there is a lesser
degree of grievance over the cut in
wages, excepting perhaps for labor

LOCAL FEDERATED SHOP
CRAFTS HOLD MEETING
July 6, 1922
Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
Brother Taylor of the Machinists
at the saass meeting held by the Fed
Grated SHOP Crafts last evening very
clearly gave 0ae new point of the
striking shop men and the reason for
the walk-out.
He explained that this action of
Labor Board is but the beginning of
a natured plan to break all labor
unims. Brother Heller, secretary of
the Federated Crafts, read the Fed
erahd report by division points of
all members, of the walk-out on all
lines west from st. Paul, showing
thatover 81 per cent of all the mem
bers responded to the call.
According to the strike call, for the
frsttime in the history of railroading
all fremen under the rank of general
foreman were called, and he clearly
showed by the messages actually re-
ceivd from headquarters that this is
to b fight to finish.
Tis fight is nationwide affair
thathas been breeding for a year
If wn, big business may realize its
limiltions, if it is lost, it may hurt
the workers. for time, but it will
surrey have the effect of uniting all
railny unions.
B2ther Kline, who has just re-
turnd from being a delegate to his
Graf convention, also said a few
wore expressing the view that the
Fedbted Crafts fight was the fight
of d other railway employees, as
the dord has been passed by big
busid SIS to the labor boards to catch
us dF at time.

JUNE RAINS CONTINUE
INTO JULY, RYE RIPE

Rains have continued the past week
that keep crops of all kinds in the
finest possible condition and bring
bumper harvest still nearer. Rye
cutting has begun in some places this
week, twine dealers say, and will be
well under way by next week. Wheat
is mostly in the head and corn is
booming along at wonderful rate.
Grasshoppers are reported as be-
ing numerous in some localities, but
no damage is reported and with vege-
tation so abundant it is not believed
that there is much danger of damage.
The hail season is not past but 50 far
this whole region has escaped with
slight damage in few spots.
