Meuli Will Drill
On Fowler Fold

Fowler, Sept. Zl.-M1cnaeI +. Meull
of the Rosalia Bank, Rosalia, Wash
ington, who owns IA sections of land
in Toole county on the Fowler Oil
structure, has been in the neighbor-
hood in recent days, makes announce
ment that he will have an I'll rig on
his place, within the next few weeks.
Mr.. Meuli's land is checker boarded
over tl-s entire structure, thus afford
ing the greatest possible chance Of
production of any prospective operator
in the field. A new epoch IN develop
ment is now dawning upon the Fow-
ler field.
Closure On South
A party of geologists whose names
are withheld by request, spent some
time on the Fowler field last week
and reported complete and fairly
accurate survey Of the structure. They
definitely established south closure,
and this news will be received by all
oil men with JOY. Much trepidation
existed as the structure was reported
open.
To Break Leases
Solicitors were active some of last
week with view to breaking some of
the leases which were made out to
J. B. Taylor, as trustee of the Fowler
Oil company. The law firm whom
they represent is one Of the most
prominent in Kansas City and are in
terested in acquiring acreage here.
The attitude of the landholders here
seems to be favorable to the further
ing of the scheme, they apparently
are disgusted with the procrastinating
methods of the rig on the Dry Forks.
Thresh Some Good Crops
Gilstead Brothers who make claim
to the title of "best farmers" were
rather shocked this week on threshing
their summer fallow. 1t made fifteen
bushels while a badly burnt piece of
land belonging to Eugene Marsh
averaged ten. Just across the road |,
from Gilstead's crop is field of
wheat belonging to Walter Fowler,
that was spring plowed which will, ac-
cording to the best estimators, exceed
the crop of Gilstead by three bushels
per acre. D. Page and J. J. Nielsen
Jensen averaged about five bushels
per acre. Ingwald Brobak had hor-
ribly burnt field, went even less.
Charles r. Meyers entire crop of
wheat averaged IL bushels per acre.
Most Of the other fields are unreport-
ed as yet, the bulk of the completed
threshing being badly burnt.
Seriously III
S. P. Morton, the elevator man at
Ledger suffered a severa attack of
partial paralysis Friday, and was re-
moved to Great Falls in a critical con-
dition. No later report was received,
but host of friends hope for an early
and complete recovery.
Yonke Boy Injured
While rounding up the cows for his
parents, Ralph Yonke was thrown ]
from his horse, and sustained painful {
ascerations about the face, and a {
broken collar bone. He was taken at
once to Conrad where ne received
prompt medical attention and at last l
.eports was doing nicely.
Big Chariyari
A real old western charivari of as s
,uming proportions greeted Mr.. and s
Mrs. Jay Warren on their return to
he community. While there were no
yiolations Of the Volstead act, all
present report a most enjoyable time.
