MOTOR VEHICLE

One person out Of every ten in
the United States now owns a motor
vehicle grand total of approx
mately 10,500,O00 passenger cars
and trucks. This staggering total
represents the official registration
Of the various states on December
81, 1921, and is an increase of L.
2O4,748 over 1920, when 9,295,25S
cars and trucks were registered.
This gain is considered remark
able by officials of the automotive
industry and surpassed by wide
margin their most optimistic pre-
dlctions at the start of last year.
In some states the gain was as
much as 90 per cent, and ten states
reported an increase Of more than
20 per cent. The leaders in this
group were southern states--West
Virginia, Florida and New Mexico.
Ohio with gain of rs per cent, led
the industrial states.
The race between Ohio and New
York for suprel acy became even
more heated than ever before, but

turing practice. Rumors had been
circulated to the effect that GER
tain interests might outbid him
with the purpose of disseminating
the Lincoln car in order to get
lit out of competition. When Mr..
Ford heard of this he seemed
more determined than ever to see
that the Lelands got a square
deal, and in that connection, he
said among other things: 1T
would be an industrial crime to
wreck an organization like that
and have the work of Henry Le-
land and all that he stands for
in the motor industry lost to fur
Their development of the motor
car. OF all places in the world
where a thing like that should
not be done, Detroit can least af-
ford to have such a blot cast
upon its good name. And the
wrecking of the Leland organiza-
tion just isn't going to be-thats
ALL"
The newly established selling
prices Just announced show re-
ductions ranging from $500 to
$1,000, according to the body
type, but it is declared that these
new prices are considerably less
than warranted by actual pro-
duction costs. 1t is the convic-
ton of the Lincoln officials, how
ever, that the expected increase
in volume of sales, assisted by
Ford's tremendous purchasing
power, which will be realized lat
er on, will justify the sacrifice of
immediate profits; and as the
new prices are based upon anti
cipated, rather than upon actual
ly existing advantages, it is as
serted that the new prices must
necessarily obtain for a long time
to come.
Continue Its Policy.
Another point which is en-
phasized by the officials is that
the company will continue its
policy of not having so-called
yearly models. This policy, it is
claimed, insures the car purchas-
err against undue depreciation in
the resale value of his car. 1t is
also asserted that inasmuch as
the present eminently fine mech |
anism of the Lincoln car was
developed before it |
was marketed, there is nothing |
in the line of changes under con- |
sideration.
The essentials of the merchan-
dising policy, it is said, are also |
to be continued as before. The
Lincoln company has prided it.
self upon the exceptional charac-
ter of its distributors; however
the scope of the distributors will |
be enlarged by the appointment
of dealers in the smaller cities.
1t is the not uncommon opinion |
expressed in Detroit that the Le-
landlord affiliation was in no
small way encouraged by Edsel !
Ford who is In full accord with
his fathers view as to the neces-
sity of saving the Lincoln COM
pany for the good of Detroit, for
the good of the industry and for
the benefit of motordom as a
whole. 1t has also been evidenced |
Tor long time that the younger
Ford has a soft spot in his heart
FOR fine cars, that he has held n
strong desire to become identi-
lied with their manufacture and
That the Lincoln situation pro-
vides such an opportunity. AS
Mr. Ford himself expressed II If

Basket TOSSerS
Begin Practice

Monday night the prospective can
didates for the basketball team were
called out by Coach Spogen for their
first session. A large nupber re-
ported Tor practice which consisted
largely in learning to pass and hold
the ball.
Coach Spogen was forward on one
of the fastest teams the Belt Valley
ever produced. This team defeated
Great Falls twice on their own floor
and won over every team in the dis
trict.
At the state university Spogen was
considered one of the fastest and
headiest forwards in the institution
but pressure of work combined with
eye trouble kept him off the team. AS
coach Of the Belt team Spogen was
fortunate in working under Bill King
all-northwestern star, who knew bas-
ketball from the ground up.
At the u. he had the advantages of
the state coaches as well as a scholas-
tic course in athletic training.
In the sprints he was in too fast
company but in the broad jump he
had no peer in the state.
Considering all these things, we ex-
pect him to develop a team and to de-
velop it in his own way. So long as
he makes every member Of the team
earn his right to play thereon and
keeps the vaccillating, lazy players
on the bench The Times will back him
to the full extent Of our ability.

Drill Strikes Crude Oil at Depth Of
2,31O Feet in Northwestern Well

Thirty-eight miles due north OF
Great Falls, the well of the Mortified
Oil company sits as the medium thru
which the presence of commercial oil
is established in the Genou structure,
considered by oil men the most i'm
portant development within the Sweet
grass arch since the Campbell discov-
cry was completed last March. At a
depth of 2,310 feet and with the bit
two feet into lime cap, fluid stood
in the casing Monday night at a
heighth of $50 feet, of which less than
100 feet was water left in the hole
when drilling was suspended Sunday
evening.
No attempt was made by the own
ers to estimate the production of the
well as it now stands, or what it will
be when the sand is reached, but that
it conclusively establishes the struc-
ture as commercial territory was a
claim accepted by oil men who learned
of the status of the we'll Monday
evening.
- The owners have aRReas.1sa sshesv
intention to deliver the crude in Great
Falls, once production is sufficient to
warrant pipe line.
The production is believed to come
from the second Ellis, but it is not
considered that the identity of the
sand has been definitely established.
Drilling was suspended when small
quantities of oil came up in the bailer.
Drilling had been conducted with a
wet hole and when the first rainbows
appeared bailing was begun.
As the stand of water was re-
duced the oil showing became heav-
ier, until the last bailer brought up
a gallon of oil from the bottom. Con-
WINGED that the bit was near the sand,
the crew set the casing few feet
above the bottom and T. F. McCue
and Fred Sturm, trustees of the
company, and Driiier big BIZ Nc
Culiough went TO Great Falls TO or
der equipment.
A sample Of the oil was taken to
Great Falls Monday night by McCue
to be analysed at once. In appear
ance the crude differs materially from
the Kevin-Sunburst product. 1t is dark
brown in color and very thin, giving
rise to the opinion that it has high
gasoline content. While the owners
do not attempt to accurately estimate |
what the production will be when the
sand is tapped, McCue said he thought
it would be larger than any well in
the Kelvin -Sunburst field. His opinion
was based, he said, on the fact that at
Genou the oil rises under hydrostatic

ried in cash at the present time. He
also will be retained by Arby Boards
lee, reputed to be the largest individ-
ual oil operator in the northwest.
Ayers will have offices with the Ke-
in-Sunburst and will maintain his
residence in Great Falls the greater
portion Of the time. 1t is reported
that he may re-enter his old partner
ship with his former associate, Chas.

JIM SHELTON IN AND OUT

Jim Shelton, former resident OF

minions of the law.
A bench warrant was issued for him
by Justice of the Peace Shields Thurs
day morning at the instance of Deputy
State Humane Officer John T. Heth-
erington. The charge against him is
non-support of his children who now
live in Great Falls.
Shelton was arrested on the same
charge on September 13 last and was
released on his own recognizance on
September is when he promised to
care for them in the future. He has
not kept his promise, according to
Judge Shields, he having made only
one remittance of $50 since that time.
On Friday Deputy Sheriff Huotari
armed with warrant, scaled the
butte, which is accessible by but one
path, only to find that Shelton was
not there.
Judge Shields was formerly res

Mike Pattsner, graduate Of the

where he spent the most Of his time
in helping to build recreation build

At=the end Of this time he was

he spent eight months in learning the
details Of air motor overhauling.
From this department he was trans
