THINKS SUNBURST
DUE FOR GROWTH
Many New Buildings Being
Planned in Oil Town,
Says OHare.

If enthusiasm and town pride will
make a town. then Sunburst. in the
northern oil fields. should be even
larger than the present activity prom
Uses, for William O'Haire. mayor and
townsite owner of that town, has both
to a high degree.
Mr.. OfHaire was a visitor in Great
Falls Thursday and there was much
pride and enthusiasm when he spoke
of the town. which he is seeing spring
up so rapidly. While Mr.. OHaire is
interested in oil developments that
promise him wealth. it is the growth
OF his town that is his favorite sub
Ject Of conversation and in which he
takes the keenest interest.
"Sunburst is going to grow and
grow right" he said. buildings are
shooting up rapidly, the basement for
our new 60 roo hotel is already dug
and there is every indication that the
work under way is only a beginning.
1t is difficult to tell of all the stores
and other enterprises that are being
planned and are rapidly shaped into
being. There are drug stores, con
fe%ctloneries and restaurants being
planned by persons expecting TO locate
there ut once. 1t is a surprise to us.
1t astonishes strangers how that town
grows"

was thought that operations would

After several weeks spent in a study
of the northern part of the Sweetgrass
arch TO the international boundary. G..
j. Collier and W. w. Boyd. govern
ment biologists, have returned and
were in Great Falls Friday. on their
way to headquarters to prepare their
report.
While he would not discuss his find
ings pending his report, Mr.. Collier
spoke of the knowledge that would
come to the biologists with the drilling
of a few more wells. He also said
that the deep test with a diamond drill
by the Troy-Sweetgrass Oil and Gas
company in section 2S-34-1 ". will be
of tremendous benefit to the geologist
in working out the geology of the field
in supplementing the work of the wells
to the first and second horizons Of
production.
He said every encouragement should
be given in carrying this test down
beyond the Madison limestone and that,
should that company not desire to do
this work. it would be to the advau.
tage of all operators of the field to
band together to finance such a work.

If she was sincere.

"Two.-The girl must have my meal

Electric Sugar Mill.

An American company is building
at La Lima, Honduras, the most up-to-

1t will be run by electricity, its pow
err being supplied by a 1,0O0-kilowatt
turbo-generator set, with an auxiliary
set of 200 kilowatts for lighting and
general purposes.
The most remarkable point about
this mill Is that all of the fuel re-

be furnished by the waste of the

THAT is all, Mrs. Bowser, except
that you must practice the most rigid

ment she said:
1--WE will wait a minute or two, Mr..
Bowser. 1t may surprise you to know
that l have been thinking of this very
thing. You are right in saying that
