The United States cannot engage in
any form of competition with us,

mated at 100000 Cubic
Feet Daily.

A gas flow estimated as a%pproximat-
ing 10000 900 cubic feet daily was struck
Friday afternoon in the well of the
Gordon Campbell Kelvin syndicate off
setting the Campbell discovery well at
Kelvin. according to information tele-
phoned from the syndicate's Kelvin Of
fices TO the Great Falls offices during
the evening. The gas was struck at
1,O35 feet, in the first gas sand.
Representatives of the syndicate
here said the gas is wet and that the
flow is so large that it will be bralden-
headed before the drill is sent on down
in quest Of oil. The flow was declared
to be much larger than that found IN
the Campbell discovery, which encoun-
tered gas at about the same depth
The discovery well tapped the vein for
fuel in drilling. but conditions existing
at the time prevented it from being
braidenheaded. The No. = syndicate

cry well was brought in.
Adyices from Shelby Friday night
were that the Gladys Belle is continu,

to lower the oil more than 200 feet

Thursday caused the well to gush in
heads has subsidized. but is expected
to ocur again if baling is stopped for
any length of time. The explanation
offered for the well becoming an inter
militant gusher is that the gas, wher
baling is discontinued, accumulates I'M

Counsel for Public Service
Board Explains Method Used
in Determining Basis.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Anaconda. Sept. In the course
of an informal discussion touching the
relations of the public service commits
sion with municipality owned utilities
at Fridays session of the Montana
Municipal league, e. G. Toomey. of
Helena, attorney for the commission
took occasion to emphaticaly repudi-
ate. on the part of the commission
statements that have recently gained
wide currency, respecting the commls
sion's methods of rate-making.
1T is asserted" said Mr.. Toomey,
that the rates Of the Montana Power
mpa for example-and it is most
often mentioned, doubtless, because 1t
is our most conspicuous public service
corporation-are based on a valuation
of SS7, 5000, while it pays taxes on
a valuation of S41, 100000, in other
words. that the consumer pays on a
property value for rate purposes fixed
by the commission which is over twice
what the company pays taxes upon.
Says Untrue
This is absolutely untrue, as any
person can readily ascertain on a most
cursory examination of the facts. Here
are the facts: The commission has
repeatedly Tuleu ludL Q pCl tNAt 10 q
fair return for public utilities of this
character. In adopting that figure
which is the bare statutory rate of In
terest, the commission has fixed a re
turn lower than obtains in many other
jurisdictions. Now'S per cent on SS7.'
100000 would recruit annual earnings
of Sc, 1850. 900 after legitimate operat'
ing expenses, depreciation and taxes
were met. Instead of enjoying any
such net revenues, the Montana Power
company's net annual average earn
ings for the past five years were
S. ,640,OO0. With these earnings cap
italized at s per cent and no diminua
ton for any cause, the company's high
possible valuation would be in thu
neighborhood of $44.OO0,0O
Bases Are Same
THE company in the year 1921 pait
taxes on an assessed valuation of Sal,
100000. These figures show, then
that the Montana power company is
as a matter of fact, paying taxes an
earning returns from its patrons OF
substantially it's assessed valuation il
Montana today. In other words. tina
the rate base and the tax base, instead
of being 100 per cent or more apart
are almost the same; that the com
mission has allowed rates not on $S7,
OOO, 200. but on a basis varying be
tween $40, 100000 and $44,00O,00O.

HANOVER, N. H., Nov. 23.-
Chick Burke played with his old.

Hanover hopes for a Green victory
over Brown in the seasons final
game on Saturday. The captain
halfback has been out Of the game
most of the season. The return of

When Burke started finally
against Cornell he broke loose

this afternoon that he hit his stride.
Coach Cannell is now counting on
him to share the burden of the
Green offensive with Calder against
the Brunoians.
The fourth reorganization of the
