BY ELK BASIN
Browns COulee Said to Be Well

Water was struck at 1860 feet in the
well being drilled by the Elk Basin
company on Browns Coulee, near
Havre. according to a report received
In Great Falls Tuesday. 1t is under
stood that the water was encountered
IN what corresponds to the first pro-
ducing sands in the Cat Greek field.
Oil men of the city expressed disap-
pointment in the striking Of water at
that depth in the well, but expressed
the opinion that there was still good
rhance of bringing in oil in the lower
sands. The extent of the water struck
was not made known in the report re-
reived in Great Falls nor how easily il
would be shut off. The well is said
to have a > 3-16 hole at 1860 feet.
Two other wells are being driven
down near Havre. that of the Krem-
lin Petroleum company, which is near

HAIL LOSSES IN NORTHWEST

partment Is Working Efficiently.

losses. A total of 6,S67 acres was IN
sured in 1921, making Cascade county
one of the leading patrons OF the state
hail insurance department. A total oi
124. ga acres was insured in the state.
County Assessor Harold Mady, IN
preparation for the handling of 1877
applications, has prepared a letter TO
all farmers in Cascade county. which
will be mailed by the state board. The
letter follows:
Under the state hail insurance law
il is made the duty of each county as
SCISSOR to handle hail insurance appll-
cations for the farmers of each county
without extra pay. No commission is
entailed in the acceptance of the ap-
plication and no expense is paid in col
lecting the hail insurance levies. This
gives you better service at less cost.
Il will be pleased to fully comply
with the provisions of the state hall
insurance law in giving you full infor-
nation regarding the law, by giving
assistance in the preparation OF appil-
cations or in aiding in any way pos
sible.
SIP Per Acre Limit
THE rates for the hail insurance
levies are limited to 9 per cen in this
part of the state. and you can insure
for as much as So per acre if you are
the full owner of the crop. If the
losses are light this year the levy will
be made less than 9 per cent. No in
terest charged if you pay your prem
ium before the first day of December.
Time for making applications has been
extended to August 10Th of each year.
Any applicant for hail insurance with
two years delinquent taxes against his
land must pay cash with his applica-
ton. If the person making this appfi-
cation does not own the land on which
the crops are growing he must have the
owner sign consent for same or else
make payment for the premium as d.
rected by the assessor.
IF you insure with the state there is
an adiuster living right here in the
county who will adjust your loss with
in a short time after its occurrence.
He is an actual Cascade county dirt
farmer-not an northumberland
knows what your loss really is. and
will give you every dollar you are en-
titled to.
When you are ready TO insure your
crop. mail one of the enclosed applica-
tons to my office and your hail insur-
nee will be in full force and effect at
Dor the day following its receipt in
my office. Keep a list of the fields
you wish to insure on the other blank.
IF this office may be of any further
assistance to you kindly feel at liberty
to call on us

approximately s10,OOO.OOO was paid

Approximately 100000 900 vas paid
out last year for hail losses by the
STATE hail insurance departments OF
Montana. North Dakota, South Dako-
ia. Nebraska, Saskatchewan and Alber-
tn. according to e. X. Bowman, chair
man of the Montana state board of hail
insurance, who was a business visitor
in Great Falls Monday. Losses ran
particularly heavy in this state and AL
berta where a rate of 10 per cent, or
$40 per 500, was necessary to cover
the claims. he said.
In all of these states. the farmers
carrying state hail insurance have re-
ceived the full amount of the ADJUST
ments except in North Dakota Mr..
Bowman said. There a number of the
warrants were sold at a small discount
of from 1 to = per cent. This is a re-
markable record, bearing in mind the
straitened financial conditions which
have existed in nearly all of the states.
State Insurance Efficient
Since the amending of the Montana
state hail insurance law three years
ago, it's operation has been successful,
on the whole. 1t has been found to
be true that but a small amoun of
money is needed to carry on hail insur-
duCe DuSlUeSS uuutF Sldtt SupcTNlSlOL.
Critics have always maintained that
state hail insurance as well as all 9TH
er government business operations. is
an expensive luxury. But such is not
the case.
History of state hail insurance for
the last three or four years has shown
that the state departments are each
year making a better record from the
standpoint of adjustments and payment
of losses. In paying out the 100000
600 in 1921, less than 5 cents of each
dollar placed in hail insurance funds
was used in operating the departments.
This same ratio has held good for the
past four years.
Under the Montana hail insurance
law the county assessors act as local
agents without additional compensation.
They accept applications for hail insur-
ance and also distribute reports and
furnish information. Their services
coupled with those Of the county treas
urers go a long way in reducing the
cost of department maintenance"
I24,644 Acres Insured
The fifth annual report of the state
board of hail insurance covering the
1921 business. shows that losses to
the amount of $152. 494.4S were paid
out, in comparison with premium pay
ments of S140.6S1.S5. In Cascade
county, which is included in the second
zone, premiums totalling S7,314.66
were paid, while only S642 was paid in

Name Wanted!

Two joint inventors of Great
Falls have built and can demon
strate to you a machine for which
they have applied for patent rights,
and now they want a trade name.
The machine is a full automatic
photograph. IT plays either side of
any size or style of disc record, the
selection being made by simply turn
ing Il knob to any record and then
press the button and it will play the
selected record as many times as
YOU desire without your touching
the machine. or by turning the hand
wheel the machine viii play both
sides OF every record in the maya
zine. The magazine is simply a
place for the records.
The machine is encased in a hand
some cabinet and looks like the or
binary Nictr0la except it is Il little
wider. This machine eliminates the
handling and hunting of records. the
changing of needles: no springs to
rewind; all scratch noises except
that heard in the reproducer disc;
dust and dirt on records, the ease
being dust proof. and the machine
is simple in design and action.
This machine is desired in the
home, cafes, schools. public places
OF amusement, and parties, due to
the quick selection of amusement,
the elimination of labor and time.
the correct and safe handling of
records insuring the maximum life
and playing qualities of a record,
and its continuous playing if neces-
sary.
1t is our plan to decide on q name
and then to organize a company to
handle the entire patent rights of
this machine. and we will give 100
shares Of stock in this company to
the person who will suggest q name
that meets our approval The stock
will carry a value of S1.O0 per
share.
We wan a name which will dis
tingulsh this machine and would be
a popular name throughout our
country. and due to the fact that
at the present time we have several
demands for this machine. it looks
like an assured success from the
word 20.
This machine is the result of four
years Of careful study and research
work. and w have reduced it in
size and pieces, and it carries with
it some very simple mechanics that
you see in ordinary life. and we will
continue to improve and develop the
machine until it will be possible
to make a selection from any part
Of the room without going directly
to the machine.
