sibIe for Growers Not Being
Able to Pay Taxes

Helena. Nov. 29.-By The Associ-
ated Pressl.-The farmers IN the Con
rad district are forced to let their

sent by Attorney General Wellington
d. Rankin Wednesday afternoon to
Ralph Budd, president of the Great
Northern railroad. Mr.. Rankin's tele-
gram said:
The farmers and business men at
Conrad. Mont, have been unable to
obtain cars to ship their grain. No
grain cars have been furnished farmers
or any one else at that point for
weeks although there is great need for
cars. Complaint was made and a public
hearing held at Conrad. 1t will require
$50 more cars to care for grain, ac-
cording to testimony of your agent
there.
The farmers have a legal right to
presume that public carriers will fur
nish cars to move their grain. There
are going TO be many delinquent taxes
and the attendant penalty Of 10 pei
cent by reason of the failure of your
railroad to provide cars for grain
shippers. The conditions at Conrad
should not and can not be tolerated
There is no time for delay. The farm
ers have a right to relief now

At s o'clock Wednesday evening the
Stand Of oil in the Mortified well at
Genou, 80 miles north of Great Falls,
had reached 1880 feet, it was reported
BY T. f. McCue. trustee of the com
pauy. after returning from the rig.
Drilling was suspended last Sunday
evening when the first showings of oil
were discovered at the present depth.
and since then the rise has been CON
tinuous.
Monday evening the oil stood $50
feet in the casing and Tuesday noon
the height was 700 feet. McCue all
ticipates that the oil will come up
within 40 feet Of the top Of the
casing, the same height reached by the
water from a water sand tapped above

forced through a lime cap has been

New Rate on Crude
Planned by Roads
to Cat Creek Fields

Evidence that the refineries trib-
,,tary to the Cat Creek field are plan
ming on real volume of business is
reflected in the announcement by the
Milwaukee railroad of q new rate on
refined petroleum to st. Paul and
Minneapolis, effective January l.
This rate is the first to be installed
on the refined product, previous ship
ments of gas or fuel oil having to
travel at a class rate which precluded
opportunity for competition in large
eastern markets. The rate applies from
Lewistown, West Lewistown and Win
nett. From the first two of these
places II cents is quoted on shipments

location and the derrick materials are
being hauled out from Conrad.
Parties interested in the Dry Fork
well are planning another test well
some distance north Of the present
one. No definite plans have been de-
cided upon as yet, however.

Black Hawk Makes
IL Well Locations;
to Spend Large Sum
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune. =
Lewistown, Nov. 29.-Manager Kist-
ner of the Black Hawk Oil company,
was in the city Wednesday morning
and let it be known that his company
has made Il locations for wells. The
company has, he stated, appropriated
81, OOO. 900 for it's development work in
Flatwillow and this money is now
available. All that remains to be done
before the full details of the cam
paign are given out is the s%traighten-
ing out of some leases.
Drilling is going on actively at the
Black Hawk No. l well, and Mr.. Kist-
ner expressed the utmost confidence
in getting good production there. DR..
Won Hagen, the geologist, will come
on as soon as the well is ready to be
drilled into the Ellis sand, which
should prove to be more than 100 feet
thick there.

NEWS OF MONTANA OIL FIELDS

He stated that all arrangements had
been made by the recently Incorporated
Whaley Oil company, owned chiefly by
Grand Forks, n. D., men, to put down
a test well on section 29-14-26, which
was selected by him when he last
visited the field.
"I am very confident that the Flat
willow field will be found productive"
said Mr.. Whaley last night, and am
willing to back up this confidence by
my money and time. I fully expect
to be right there when a new Mon
tana field is brought in. Aside from
this structure, my interests are IN
Oklahoma and it took a mighty at
tractive proposition to induce me to

Of oil men into Montana in the spring

in this state next year than in any

SpOrtSmen Hold Annual
Meeting and Banquet
Continued from Page l

the cooperation of fishing clubs is
necessary for the proper protec-
ton of the streams. Commissioners
Sheldon suggested that if the club
would appoint a sufficient number
of deputy wardens to adequately
protect this territory, he would see
that they received their proper
credentials and commissions. 1t
was so voted. He was sure that a
volunteer staff of wardens, serving
without pay, would reduce law vi
olations amazingly. Community
sentiment in favor of law enforce
ment is all that is necessary to
bring about the best results. Com
missioner Sheldon's address con-
tanned many valuable suggestions
and was much appreciated by all
present.
The next speaker was j. J.
Fritz, supervisor of the White
Mountain National forest. He
told what the White Mountain TO-
rest is, why it is and what we are
trying to do with it, both for its
timber supply and as a recrea-
ton ground. The Weeks enabling
act of 1911, so called, provided the
funds for the organization work.
In securing titles to the property
records back to King George III
had to be traced and verified. The
435,000 acres in New Hampshire
were purchased at an average of
$3.50 an acre, and is now in
charge of the forest service of
the national department of agri-
culture. The department is now
interested in fire protection in this
territory and has been maintained
the past year at a cost of only
three cents per acre. Timber
sales represents a big item, and
will be bigger as times get back
to normal conditions. Then there
is quite a revenue from hay and
pasturage leases and rent of sites
for individual recreation projects.
The recreation end of the business
includes public camping sites for
auto tourists, tramping trails
with both open shelters and huts
and conveniences for hunters and
fishermen. In all this the coop
Grafton of sportsmen is absolute
ly necessary. Mr. Fritz closed by
reading a brief set of rules visitors
to the White Mountain forest re.
serve are asked to bear in mind
Hon. Mott l.. Bartlett of Con-
cord, New Hampshire state COM
missioner, said that all fish and
game clubs are first organized for
selfish motives-to give their
members better hunting and fish
ing,-but this is necessary and
while this is so. the work we do
for ourselves primarily for selfish
motives is a benefit of everybody
The Caledonian-record. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1920-current, 1922-05-17

in the territory. Food, clothing
and lumber are our most import
ant physical requirements. Woods
are absolutely necessary for
| hunting and fishing Our fathers
wasted the lumber because they
needed the land. Their sins were
just as huge as their virtues. In
these days we are beginning to
realize that we cannot have fish
without streams and lakes, and we
cannot have these without timber
lands to hold them. Birds and ami
mails need the forests for cover.
The Connecticut river once
abounded in bass and salmon.
They have been the victims of
commerce and have retired. The
business interests and the recrea-
tional interests should get togeth-
err for it will be for the financial
benefits of both. The commits
sioner does what you enable him
to do. 1t is therefore u pto or
CARNATIONS of this kind to decide.
Public sentiment is only what you
think multiplied. New England Is
beginning to come into its own as
the vacation ground of the coun-
try. The three northern states re-
celve millions of dollars year
from the pleasure and recreation
seekers. If we are fair men as
true sportsmen ought to be, it is
flatfx 70 f14s
our children better than we found
them. There is broader view of
this recreation in the great out
doors than the purely commercial
and financial one. No man can
go out into the great outdoors
and spend a day in the woods or
by the streams, without realizing
the supreme power in the universe
that holds the scheme of creation
in the hollow of His hand. A
true sportsman recognizes God, is
kind and courteous to his fellow
man and is a better citizen be-
cause of his intimate relations
with nature and natures Won
ders.
The last speaker, and one of
the best, was Hon. Willis E. Par
sons, commissioner for the state
of Maine. He said that the truth )
that were applicable to his state
were just as important for Yer
mont, for whether one speaks of
the Green Mountains of Vermont,
the Granite Hills of New Hamp-
shire or the vast wilderness of the
Pine Tree state, we are all i'm
pressed with the fact that this
upper trio of New England states
is the wonderful vacation land o.
the east, and is rapidly coming
into it's own in being acknowledged
to be the Switzerland of America.
1t is the province of clubs of
this kind to preserve this great
heritage and hand it down to those
| who come after better than when
it came to us. Maine has miles
and miles of sea coast, 5000 rivers
and stream, lakes innumerable,
and more than fifteen million
acres of forest, an acre each for
the fifteen million visitors to get
lost in, and most of them would
get lost. The great out-of-door
of Maine appeals to men of red
| blood and noble aspirations. 1t
furnishes health, recreation, sport,
comfort, happiness. We invite
the world to visit us, and will use
our visitors well. In all this, if
we do our duty we are a better
state, better nation and a bless
ing to the sons and daughters of
Maine who come after US.
The very successful meeting
closed with hearty cheer for Fl.
NJ. Osgood, the retiring president,
whose efforts Cor the success of
the club have always been produc-
tive of good results.
