Washington, May 3.-Cordell Hull,
chairman Of the Democratic National
Committee, declared in a statement
tonight
1.-THE reported victory of Albert
j. Beveridge over Senator Harry s..
New in the Indiana Senatorial pri-
maries by a decisive majority is a
plain and emphatic reputation of
the Harding Administration and Mr..
News part therein by the Republic
cans Of Indiana.
"The vote for Mr.. Beveridge was
simply a protest against the Admin
istration and was not a vote for any
affirmative set of policies.
The voters of Indiana ought TO
find it easier to make a choice be-
tween Samuel NJ. Raston, who won
the Democratic nomination for the
Senate and Mr.. Beveridge than II
was for the Indiana Republicans to
choose between Mr.. New and Mr..
Beyeridge."

Washington, May 3.-Fire broke
out on the roof of the Treasury De-
partment at about las a. m. today.
Rapidly gaining headway in a low
superstructure on the roof, the
flames in a few minutes were leap
ing twenty feet in the air.
Following an explosion of chemi-
calls stored where the fire originated
the flames appeared to be rapidly
gaining Roadway. Four alarms
had been turned in fifteen minutes
after the fire was discovered,
Several smaller explosions oc-
cured in succession as the flames
rose TO a height of 80 or 40 feet
aud appeared to be enyeloping the
entire central portion Of the roof.
Sparks from the fire were being
swept by a light southeast wind in
the general direction OF the White
House, but II was believed that
structure was In no danger.
Thirty minutes after the fire be-
gan the glow from the leapine
flames was lighting up the entire
downtown section Of the city, cast

AS the first streams OF water
were played on the flames II appear
Ell that they probably would be con
fined TO the central portion OF the
roof, 10 which they had spread
from aths superstructure.

about the attitude of the Great North
ern toward the consolidation Of north,

bv the interstate commerce commission
"a question in which the people of
Montana are intensely interested. His
reply was that the conclusions OF the
Great Northern have been and are the
ones which his railway thinks will
work out the best results for the stock
holders of his line and for the country
that is served. As has been indicated
by the hearings before the commission,
if there is to be a general consollda-
ton program carried out throughout
the United States, whereby there are
to be only a few large systems in
the country, then the Great Northern
would like to see unification carried
out in the northwest So that this rail
way and those united with it may
constitute a system commensurate with
the other consultations in strength
and ability to operate with advantage.
Mr.. Kenney believes hat in case
of countrywide consultations, the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific and the Burlington would make
an organization adequate and capable
of about the best possible service. In
case the Northern Pacific be not in
cluded. then the next best arrangement

War Savings Stamps
to Be Redeemed by
Falls Office Jan. !.

Most people. after buying war say
ings stamps of the 1913 issue, put them
away for safe keeping and many are
now, searching safe deposit boxes, desk
drawers and various hiding places for
their stamps" said Postmaster Clus-
ton Friday. ''These stamps, which
cost from SAP to S423 each during
1913. reach their maturity value of
SIS each January /, 1923. They will.
however, be accepted now at the post
offic for either cash redemption as of
January 1 or exchange for new United
States treasury savings certificates
We expect most Of our patrons will
wish to continue their investment with
the government and consequently will
take advantage of the exchange plan.
THE treasury savings certificates Of
Ifered in exchange have all the desirable

with added attractions. They are is
sued in three denominations. costing
5000, $50 and $500. and mature in
five years for $50, 500 and sT,00H.
respectively. This is at the rate Of
about 4 per cent compounded semi-an-
nually. The certificates are exempt
from all state and local taxes Except
estate and Inheritance tax INT from
normal federal income tax. They are
registered to protect owner against loss

them at any time at guaranteed re-
delnption values.
eve are prepared ohandle the ex-
change of war savings stamps for new

We will make cash adjustment to take

HANSEN'SFlRM
PLANS DRILL
ON LARCESCAL
Observation-Disclosures Will Up
crate Three Strings OF
Tools in Spring.

Aggressive development OF the com
pany's acreage in the Kevin-Sunburst
field and a prospecting campaign to
perhaps be extended to include other
fields or new structures. was AN
nounced Friday by G. T. Hansen OF
Denver, head of the Montana Sweet
grass Oil and Gas, OF his return to
Great Falls. The Montana Sweetgrass
is backed by the Utah Southern, when
completed its financing last fall.
Immediate plans of the company call
for the drilling at once of a well on
the Mcdonald lease in section 2o-oo-s
", near the Gladys Belle group or
wells, and the drilling of a new test ID
the southern part of the field, where
the has its largest holdings.
When production is brought in on It's
holdings in township 30, range , W,
the company will continue development
of that tract, bringing in a drilling ma
chine which viii be used in the de-
velopment work. A standard string
. tools will be used in further pros
pecting.
Not less than three strings of tools
will be operated by the Montana Sweet
grass during the next spring. Mr. HAN
sen announced although plans may pe
changed in accordance with develop
ments in the field. e
He said that the company officials
have been watching developments in
the southern part of tn Sweetgross
arch and in other parts TO northern
Montana and should these prove favor
able, the company will take a part
in prospecting new areas, he said. and
will have the needed strings of tools
available for this work.
The company is not discouraged by
the results of the we'll in the southern
part of the field. but is confident that
further prospecting will bring results,
he said.
Mr.. Hansen said that he will devote
a large part of his time from now on
in personal supervision of the activi-
ties of the company.

DRILL IN WELL
TGENOU WHEN
WATER HALTED
Field Manager Says Flow Has
Not Been Shut Off as
Supposed.

Completion of the well of the North
field Oil company on the Genou field,
80 miles north of Great Falls, will
probably not be attempted until after
the holidays and perhaps later, accord
ing to J. r. Houke, in charge Of field
operations.
The water is not shut off in the
well as had first been thought. and
there is now 1000 feet of water in
the hole, he said. He said that this
large amount of water had stopped
the flow of oil from below, in his opin-
ion, and that he believed that drilling
it in, after the water has been shut
off, will bring in a much better well
than there was apparent when drilling
stopped.
Mr.. Houke is connected with the
operations of the Chemical Oil com
pany Of Pittsburgh, Pa, the president
of which, NJ. C. Rodgers, is interested
in the Mortified. He was brought to
Montana by Mr.. Burgess on his recent
visit and took charge of operations.
He said that it may be possible that
he will be called back to Pittsburgh
and that. in case it is decided to await
his return before completing the well,
it will be some time after the holidays
before he can get back to Montana.
The present weather conditions make
it difficult to drill in the well, be said.
Describing the action of the well as
it appeared to him as a practical oil
man, Mr.. Houke said that the water
must be shut off before the well can
be drilled in and the extent Of produc-
ton determined. He said that the
flow of oil in the well first started
when the casing had been set and the
water partly shut off. When that wa
ter was bailed to about 400 or 500
feet, the oil began to flow, evidently
through cracks in the cap rock.
In the recent bailing at the well, he
sad. the flow of oil from below did not
begin until the water had been bailed
down considerably. He said that this
would tend to show that the weight of
the column of water had kept the oil
from flowing through the small cracks
in the cap rock. the. bit not yet hav-
ing entered the sand.
AS to methods taken TO shut off the
water, Mr.. Houkke said that it may be
sufficient to raise the casing and fill
in with clay, then dropping the pipe
to force the clay in behind it. Should
this fail, he said, it might be neces-
sary to cement off the water and then
drill through the cap rock. He ex-
pressed confidence that good produc-
lion would be found beneath the cap
rock when the well is drilled in.

ELDER PLANS
REFINERY TO
HANDLECRUDE
Considers Plan Important in
Connection With De-
velopment.

Tentative plans for the construction
of a refinery at Shelby as q part OF
the development plans of himself and
associates in the northern Montana OIL
fields was referred to Friday by L. y.
Elder of the Day-Elder Motor com
many of Trenton, n. j., who was in
Great Falls in connection with interests
in the Sunburst Oil and Gas and other
organizations, in speaking of develop
ment plans.
Mr.. Elder spoke of the probable con
struction of a refinery as important
in connection with the marketing of
production from the acreage held by
the Sunburst Oil aid Gas and Hager-
Stevenson Oil companies, in both OF
which he is interested as a stakeholder
and officer. Associated with him IN
these companies, both of which are
headed by l.. G. Stevenson, is Dorsey
Hager and others, including several
mobile interests.
His visit to Montana at this time
has convinced him more thar ever of
the northern Montana fields, Mr.. Elder
said. He left Friday for the east
and said that he will be able to take
. favorable report back to his eastern
associates both as to present conditions
and the promise of development for
the next season. He said that the
two operating companies. the Sunburst
and the Hager- Stevenson, plan devel-
opment of their holdings as two of
the leading holders Of acreage in the
field.
Definite details concerning the pro-
iected refinery have not yet been form
ulated, Mr.. Elder said.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-12-16

declares that his road is not in favor
of the proposal to unite the Great
Northern and the Milwaukee system.
He agrees with the position that has
ern and the Burlington. Mr.. Kenney
been taken by the Great Falls Com
mercial club, that such a union would
take away the last chance of any COM
petition between the railways serving
this city. The larger stockholders of
the Great Northern are said to be
uniformly opposed to such a PROPOSE
ton.
Mr.. Kenney expressed qualification
at the better business conditions which
are now being established in this state
because of the big crop of the present
year and the general improvement
from other causes. His intention was
to return from Helena last evening
and then go direct to st. Paul. He
desired to spend a little time in Great
Falls on this trip, but was detained
SO long by attention to traffic condi-
tons in the state of Washington that
it was not possible to do so.

w. r. Nenney, vice president and
director Of traffic for the Great
Northern railway. was in the city for
a half hour Friday following the ar
rival of train No. 235, while the equip
ment for Helena and Butte was being
made up. Mr.. kenney talked with The
Tribune upon the traffic situation in
Montana and about some other mat
ters of public interest in connection
with the Great Northern railway. The
difficulty which has been experienced
over the car shortage that has pre-
vailed during the last few weeks was
outlined about as follows:
Along with other western lines, the
Great Northern during the last three
or four months has had great diff
Guilty in keeping the cars that belong
to the road available for this territory.
Since September, i has not been pos
sible to keep upor the line more than
about so per cent of the cars that are
actually owned by the railway. When
effort has been put forth to bring
these cars back from the east, there
has been a constant humping up
against priority orders, largely for the
movement of coal.
The Great Northern has been con-
~stantly keeping in mind the necessity
of moving the Montana crop because
it has been fully aware that the farm
ers and the business interests were
in need of the proceeds. In any year,
when Montana produces a crop the
size of that grown in 1922. there is
sure to be a car shortage, and every
body knows that added TO the natural
difficulty in taking care of these big
Yields. there was the coal strike early
in the season., and the more or less
allied shipments strike, which came at
an especially inopportune time it the
railroad was to move the crop OF the
farmer in an adequate way.
The total crop to be handled for
this year by the Great Northern sys-
tenn has been estimated at 15S,00O,0oU
bushels. In Montana. there was prob
ABLY raised $4,000. 900 bushels Of
wheat, out of the total drop of the
state. which had to be moved by the
Great Northern. 1t is estimated by
Mr.. kenney that about II .otO,oW bush
els have been taken care Of. which
would leave something like 11.t0O,o0o
bushels that the railway is moving as
rapidly as possible. The total car load
ings of the Great Northern for 1922
are greater than in any other year OF
it's history. This fact alone constitutes
positive evidence that there should
prevail considerable forbearance While
the effort is under way to move a

VIEWS or MONTANA OIL FIELDS
First Gladys Belle
Well in Smackover
Fields Brought in

Report of the coming in Of the first
well of the Gladys Belle in the Smack
over field in Arkansas was received
Friday at the office of the Gladys
Belle OH & Refining company, an as
ISOLATED organization, in Great Falls.
The well coming in was some dis
lance from the former production in
the field and high expectations had
not previously been entertained for it
by the company, it was said.
The well, the Dunn No. / came IN
as a gasser with a flow of 25,OO0,oOo
feet but the oil came in later and the
second day after the sand was opened
flowed 1000 barrels, the report said.
The well extends the Smackover
pool a half mile in one direction and a
mile and a half in the other. One
more well is being drilled by the Gladys
Belle, this one being on the top of the
pool, three-eights of a mile from the
Marr-Morris well which flowed 3OO,-
600 barrels the first 10 days after
it was brought in. n
