New Company
Will Be Formed

Launching Of q new Stevenson
company, the Sunburst Consolid-
ated Royalties, is announced in
a letter issued by L. C. Steven
son to the stockholders of the
Sunburst Oil & Gas, Stevenson
Associated Royalties and Hager-
Stevenson companies.
The launching of the new COM
pany is considered important as
Stevinson announces the princi-
pal of financing the further ex-
pansion plans of the Stevenson
group in this way rather than
through the use Of the earnings
of the companies, declaring it is
his intention to now turn the
earnings of each of the compa-
MES to the payment of dividends.
Ine new company, as announced
in the letter to stockholders, is
incorporated at 100000 of which
part will be sold. He reports
that he has already closed on
from q twelfth to full royalty on
some $1,000 acres of land in the
field and arrangements already
made call for the expenditure of
about 100000.
Plans, announced by him. call
for additions to these holdings
during the "offseason" this win
ter. The holdings are largely in
the south and southeast portion

Taking on Wild Life
As New Oil Town

The new oil town of Kanatak,
on the shore Of the straights of
Shellokoff of Alaska, is just now
taking on the wild life of the
new oil town. There are three
well structures in this district,
the Cold Bay, Wide Bay and
Pearl Creek at present demand
ing the attention of all the oil
men Of the district. There are
large number of Spokane people
interested in this district. This
is one of the many structures
worked over by Campbell a num-
Der Of years ago.

Walsh Charges 2 Concerns
Controls West Oil Fields
Montana Senator Asks for Congressional Invesfi-
cation; Claims Ohio and Midwest
Have Violated Leasing Act.

Senator Walsh charged that the
Midwest Refining company and
the Ohio Oil company control
from SO to 81 per cent of produc-
tion in the Salt Creek field, Wyo-
ming, alone and that the Mid
West Refining company controls
the productin and refining of oil
in Montana. Both charges, he
said, are substantiated in the re-
ports of the federal t,aCe COM
mission after the board 8 investi-
cations in both Of the states.
( In addition, the senator pro-
poses to find out why Montana
people pay more for gasoline
than the people O f any other
state in the Union, when there
are fields and refneries so close,
and why the special interests are
allowed to evade the law without
hindrance from the federal gov
eminent.

F. E. Adams, manager of the
Adams Oil company, informs us
that his son, Harry, is here this
week supervising the construc-
ton of an ice house that will be
erected just south of the elevat-

come from the spring water of
Choteau. The erection of this
ice house meets with a long felt
want Of Kevin and a good supply
will be on hand at all times which
the company will retail at a cent

we'll is in production and will no.
doubt be a producer, though the
bit was lost just as the sand was
penetrated. There is oil stand

considered virtually a producer.

Considered as Good
as The Hogan Well


The Ohio-Larson we'll in 17-5-a
2 W., is considered as good as
the Hogan. It's productions es-
timated at 400 barrels. A cave
in followed the drilling in of this
we'll and when the hole had been
cleaned out and the drill run
down two feet more, the oil shot
up over the crown block, and
gushed steady for 10 minutes.
1t is said to have flowed over 300
barrels Of oil during that time.
It has been connected with the
tanks.

Short Snaps Of the Week

Joe Baker is back from Spokane,
where he visited with his family
for week or more, and is now
busily engaged in the assemble
Of material for the drilling Of
his Kevin acreage. Baker will
be one of the early birds the
coming spring, to decorate the
Kevin field with his derricks.
The vicissitudes of Joe Baker
have been many, but he is the
most courageous oil man in the
state of Montana.

The BLACK
HAWK we'll

There is a diversity Of opinion
as to whether the Black Hawk
we'll in Flat Willow is really in
or not. Many believe that it is.
The activity Of the oficialdom of
that company, would indicate
that they have something. The
ordering Of storage tanks, and
the securing of figures for mater
ial to be used in the drilling of
eight more wells, all tend to the
belief that the we'll is in, and is
a good producer. The location of
the Black Hawk we'll is such as
to have created in the minds Of
the oil men, that there was no
probability of securing produc-
ton in that area, This is so be-
cause Of geological theorism, and
it is this: There is a fold starting
at the Judith Mountains and ex
tending eastward for 60 miles,
and forms the Cat Creek anti
cline. There is a second fold of
equal Importance structurally,
which starts at the Big Snowy
Mountains, and extends east
ward roughly parallel to the Cat
Creek fold, which includes the
Devils Basin and some other
structures, and extends a few
miles across t h e Musselshell
River. Between these two anti
clinal folds above described,
occurs a third one, that is of
equal major value, but less pro-
nounced. and is known as the
Flat Willow Anticline. This anti
cline lies in a great trough be-
tween the two folds referred to,
and geologicallv would not be
considered advantageous for test
ing for OIL For this reason it has
taken men with large hope to
attempt o explore t, but it |
seems now that they have proven
the area, and upon recent show
ings made by the Black Hawk,
many transfers Of land is now
taking place in that locality. and
among which are many that have
been taken over in abe Twin
Cities. Out of four of these
transfers, up to this writing,
there will b e operating COM
panies on the Flat Willow in the
spring. Flat Willow seems to be
the next big bet in Montana.

The Water Situation

The water situation is gradu-
ally gerting worse in the Kelvin
Sunburst area, and no doubt
there will be much retardation
of work during the month of
December. This is one of the
Chinook areas however, and we
do not expect it to last but a
short period.

Land Hungry;
Coming West

Just what is going to become
lof the large tracts of Northern
Montana lands, which have fallen
into the hands of the big loan
companies thru foreclosure pro-
ceedings is a sousce Of consider
able worry to those who have the
future developments Of the possi-
biIities Of Northern Montana at
heart.
Judging from the history of
Kansas, Nebraska and the OAK
otas there 8 really not much
cause to worry. Eventually the
land will pass into the hands of
competentfarmers and with prop
er farming, diversified farming,
will become highly developed.
In the later 80's and the early
90's the homesteaders in West
ern Kansas and Nebraska desert
ed their non-productive farms
and made for other climes and
the loan companies and cattle
companies came into possession
of lsrge tracts.
Hardy w. Campbell, the dry
farming expert, during his visit
in Havre last summer, told how
he had been offered a tract OF
100000 acres in western Kansas
for so cents an acre and had
turned it down. Later the same
land became highly productive
and sold for as high as $40 per
acre.
In the days of the western
rush the homeseekers crossed
the plains in their caravans with
bold banners Pixies Peak or
Bust, and when the exodus, due
to crop failuses came they trek
ed back again with the same BAN
ners reading Busted.
That same country now is high
ly productive.
1t has been said that it takes
the second crop Of settlers and
sometimes the third to make a
success in any country, but the
genius of man will overcome the
advised conditions and solve the
most perplexing problems when
it comes to making the soil pro-
duce. He is going to do it in this
part of Montana.

The Largest in
Northern Field

The observation-disclosures wei
on section 1882 w. offset OF
the east to the Gladys-Belle wei
/ in the Kevin-Sunburst field
came in with rush and is sale
to be greater in initial perfor
nance than even the Hogan vel
in section 22-35-2 W..
According to reports from the
field, the we'll when drilled in q
few days ago, merely toucs1euti1e
sand that there was some slight
cave in, although it was not thot
important at the time. Despite
this, the oil had made substan-
tial rise and showing agitation
even before the hole was cleaned
out. The 6 5-8 pipe was run.
The oil came up and was flow
ing a little over the top as the
bit went down foot or so, it
was reported. Then the oil came
with a rush with gas behind it
and hit the crown block for
better than 10 minutes. During
that time, it was reported, the
we'll flowed 300 barrels of oil. No
further attempt at drilling was
made, but a connection was fitted
on the casing to run the produc-
ton into tanks.
Oil men present at the well
said that the performance while
drilling the one foot into the
sand was better than the Hogan,
which has proved a good well,
averaging at the present 450 bar
rels day.
The action of the Kearns well
is the more remarkable since
this is but offset distance from
the Ohio-Thornton in the same

ducer after being shot, had hard

Tests in the experimental Kitchen of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture show that the quality Of flour
used, the retail price paid for 1t, the
method of buying. whether in small
quantities or by the barrel. the bread
formula used, the Kind and price of

number Of loaves made at n time
are all factors affecting the final cost
of the homemade loaf of bread.
Loaf Costs 7 f-3 Cents.
In case of a batch of five loaves for
which materials were bought in small
quantities and which were baked in an
uninsulated gas oven when gas cost
S1.20 a thousand feet, a single pound
loaf was found to cost seven and one

a high bread yield was selected, and
1t was bought by the barrel, as the
farm would be likely to buy 1t.
Dried yeast was used. shortening was
omitted, and the baking was done in a

lions the cost of a one-pound loaf was
found to be only four and one-fifth
cents. The details and figures OBJ

to be offered for some time and
are hot house products. The sup
ply is limited and the distribution
is not general.
Flour is expected to take anoth-
er increase OF 20 cents on the
barrel. This will make total rise
within the last two weeks of 60
cents. With every 20 cent increase
ON the barrel there is an approx
mate increase Of five cents on the
sack. Valley flour is now quoted
at $3.50 per sack and hard wheat
eastern flour at $3.50.
