Ask Receivership
of Hoyt Oil Company

Lewistown, Feb. 21.-An application
for q receisership in matter Of the
Hoyt Oil company. which drilled five
miles from Kolin, was heard by
Judge Won Tobel Monday and taken
under advisement. 1t appears that
e. G. Lewis furnished the equipment
for this well. under an undertaking
with Mr.. Hoyt as to a division of any
production. Drilling ceased recently,
leaving a number of unpaid claims. The
Hoyt concern was shown to be insolv-
ent and Mr.. Lewis desires to move his
rig and equipment elsewhere. The lien
holders claim that there was partner
ship between Hoyt and Lewis and ask
for receiver SO that the property may
be disposed of and the proceeds ap-
piled to pay off the liens.

Will Drill Well
on Mcdonald Creek
Structure Shortly

Special to The Tribune.
Winnett, Feb. 21.-The Mcdonald
creek structure, lying about seven
miles northwest of Wlnnett, will be
drilled ont as soon as weather condi-
tions promise uninterrupted drilling.
This announcement was given out by
H. H. Schwartz, for himself and as
sociates. Drilling arrangements have
been definitely closed. The Mcdonald
creek structure has been. favorably
reported upon by the United States
Geological survey. but it is under
stood that the report of Geologist
Houston, who recently mapped it for
Mr.. Schwartz and associates, is even
more favorable than that of the sur
vey. AS given in the report OF the
geological survey, the anticline has an
east and west length of about Z
miles, so that the Bringing in Of a
commercial well will open a new oil
field Of considerable size.

BALFOUR AND THE
LEAGUE

| A j. BALfooK' neaa OF inc
81 British mission at the Wash
ington conference, was given cor
dial welcome when he got back to
England. There was Pilgrims
society dinner-given on Monday
evening. The Duke of York was
there representing the royal fam
lily and Ambassador George Har-
vey for the United States. 1t was
quite an affair. There was eulogy
for Mr.. Balfour and general sat
isfaction expressed over the
achievements of the Washington
conference.
Mr.. Harvey for once was agree
able to some world arrangements
which have been participated in by
the United States, at any rate so
far as there was audible expression
on his part. We imagine that the
American ambassador wiggled un-
easily in his chair at one significant
statement made by Mr.. Balfour.
The British leader voiced the defi-
mite opinion that the accomplish
ments of the Washington confer
ence did not >endanger the league Of
nations. This indeed was the most
important declaration put forth at
the dinner. It indicates clearly
that England does not propose to
abandon the league, and that Mr..
Balfour thinks it still has great
duties to perform, even though it's
machinery may be changed and its
activities influenced by contingen-
cies as they may arise.
About the first thing George
Harvey did after Mr.. Harding pre-
sented him with his ambassadorial
clothes was to declare that the
League Of Nations was dead. He
didn't get away with his death SEN
tence at all. The world would not
permit the holding of the funeral.
Ever since that time the administra-
ton at Washington has been try
ing to do under other names the
pressing duties that should have
been performed by the league that
will not die. This fact will come
out in a most forceful way when
the four power Pacific treaty
comes up for ratification in the
senate a few days hence.
The League Of Nations is not
dead. Mr.. Balfour's clear cut
statement may be far reaching. Mr..
Harvey may perhaps be given the
credit for discretion in that he
kept away from the subject at the
Pilgrim society dinner in London.

THE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD

the moving of the federal government
began. The books, papers, furniture
and other paraphernalia were brought
from Philadelphia to the new site IN
sailing vessels which went around by
the Delaware and Chesapeake bays and
the Potomac river.
Moved Government for $4,000
Official records show that it cost
the government only $64,OO0 for re-
moval of it's offices and archives. This
sum included the expenses of the clerks
of the various departments. The slze
Of the government force then indicates
clearly that ours was indeed an infant
republic. The new government began
in Washington with 126 clerks, and the
total sum paid in salaries for the year
1900 was $125,SS1.
The population of the city was esti-
mated to be about 5000, and the
streets or roads were deep in mud,
being at times impossible. There were
100 brick and 253 frame houses in the
city. The treasury departmen was the
only executive agency which had It's
own building.
The White House had been built,

Yesterdays Questions Answered

1.-The United States government
did not establish postoffice IA what
is now Montana until late in 1864 when
postoffice was located at Virginia
CITY. in the present Madison county.
George B. Parker was the first post
master. For a number Of years there
after. Virginia City was the distrIbut-
ing postoffice for the territory. PreVi-
ous to 1864, letters and newspapers
were, forwarded to residents, OF what
is now Montana by express, the reelpi-
ents usually being grateful TO get them
at the charge of ST., gold, Tor each
document. Private carriers had orougnt
mail to Fort Benton previous to this
time. but the carrying Of mail into
what is now Montana did not become,
great concern Of it's residents until
after the gold strike at Bannack ana
in Alder's Gulch, when the territory $
population rapidly increased.
1.-The Long Drive" was a term
applied to the movement Of cattle from
the ranges in the southern part OF the
United States to the ranges i'll what
il now Montana and Wyoming. Ihls
migration started in 1869 and continu-
cd approximately for 20 years. The
two principal reasons for it were: The
necessity of having beef nearer the
northwest where it could easily be sold
to laborcrs employed in the construc-
ton of railroads. and to the many
pioneers who were travelling overland
r. The roldfields in the northwest. and
further thc cattlemcn Of Texas, Mex
leo and California believed that the
ranges of the north were cooler and
frcsher and better for the cattle than
the ranges Of the south. The Long
Drive was over a well defined trail.
It lav across the tablelands of western
Texas into Kansas and crossed the
Santa re trail at Dodge. Thence it
continued past the headwaters OF the
Salmon, by Fort Hays and over the
Republican river, and onward TO the
South Platte. where there was ali i'm
mense COW camp-Ogalalla, the great
rendezvouz of the COWBOYS ana the
Texas rangers. From that point, the
Long Drive followed the Platte, over
the Oregon trail, to Fort Laramie. and
onward along the BoZeman road. AT
times it skirted the Black Hills and
again it veered westward to the base
Of the Big Horn range. The head
waters of the Powder and the Tongue
rivers, the hunting grounds Of the
Crows and the Sioux, the home Of the
trappers and the scene Of many con-
flict with the Indians, were marked by
tho trail of the COW which followed
close on the retreating hoofs Of the
buffalo. The Long Drive" coursed
along the tributaries Of the Yellowstone
to the Missouri, thence over the trail
of Lewis and Clark to Marias river and
the land of the Blackfeet, the ancient
domain of the buffalo. Five months
were consumed in the journey from
Texas to Montana. In 1871 more than
half million cattle came over the

Through the courtesy of Mr.. Ca.
briel Wells, of New York, rare
copy of the Gutenberg Bible, which
is his, is now on temporary exb,.
bition at the National Museum IN
Washington.
Gutenberg invented the art Of
printing from movable type. Prior
10 his time printing was done from
carved wooden blocks, on which
was everything which appeared on
a page. Gutenberg invented the
three essentials of modern print
ing, changed only in details since
his day in the early part of the IF.
teenth century These three things
type, mold from which the type is
cast, and matrix, from which the
mold is made, have had a more
powerful influence upon the world
than any other invention or dis.
covery ever made. Through them
all knowledge is spread; through
printing the Bible has become the
worlds book. Through printing
has education of the masses been
accomplished; through printing
has civilization displaced barbar-
ism, knowledge taken the place of
ignorance and superstition. 1t is
printing which has caused the
downfall of tyranny, material and
spiritual; printing which brought
the ideals of liberty, fraternity,
equality, liberation, education, and
freedom to a world ONCE divided
between oppressors and the OPP |
pressed.
