the marine service and visited his
folks for few days, then departed
for Washington, where he plans on
taking vocational training.
J. w. Bechtor has been in Great
Falls for the past week on business
matters.
w. H. Thomas Of Sweet Grass
plasterer was rushed to Sunburst tc
put the finishing touches to the VIM
O'Haire residence.
G. B. Flinnegan representing the
Spokane Dry Goods company stopped
off for day in the city. The several
trunks which were stocked in front
of Gorham's store is sufficient evil
dence that ''P. r." is laying in an
oily supply of Al dry goods.
B. Sindon met with some hard
luck last week. His son while disc

The baseball game played in Sun
burst last Sunday proved to be q
good one in spite Of the terrific wind
and large delegation turned out
from Kevin, while Sweet Grass and
Shelby were we'll represented.
The game was won by thekevln
boys. The Sunburst boys were right
at their heels and certainly did fine
work for their first game OF the sea-
son. Watch the big game Sunday
between Sweet Grass and Sunburst.

KEvIN AND sUNBURsT MEET.

The second game played by the Ke-
vim ball team was staged on the Sun
burst diamond Sunday with the play
ers Of that town and the contest had
to go to the end of the tenth inning
before a decisive score was marked
up, Kelvin winning by a wide margin
in batting bout that did not stop
until every man on the team had
circled the diamond. The feature
of the game for Kevin was three
bag hit and a home run by John
Dwyer, the last made with bases full
The Sunburst boys played consistent
ball and with more practice and
probably small change in lineup
both teams may be expected to put
on a worth while exhibition.

Pipeline
to OKevin
Oil Field
Gordon Campbell Will
Lay -Four Inch Pipe
From Discovery
Site to R. R.

The Courier today gives
the biggest news of the field
since the strike of oil.
A pipe line from the dis
covery we'll on section 16
may be carrying the oil to
the railroad at Kevin at the
end of three weeks accord
ing to Gordon Campbell
who located the field and put
down the we'll where oil was
found.
The survey for the pipe
line, which will be a tempor-
ary four inch line was begun
Monday by James MacGow-
an, CampbelPs engineer, and
will run from collecting
tanks on a site in section 16
to receiving tanks on rail
way rightofway at Kevin. y
All material and equip
ment for the line and tanks
and pumping station has
been ordered, and this in
cludeds a so h. p. new type
gas engine to be run by nat
ural gas from the discovery
we'll.
Mr.. Campbell is putting
the pipe line in himself and
will not only pump oil from
the we'll now down but 9th
ers he and his associates are
to drill and will carry any
oil from the wells of other
operators upon a common
carrier basis.
The proposed four inch
line now arranged for is
temporary in that Mr.. Camp
bell intends to enlarge it and
also increase collecting tank
age and power plant neces-
sary for any future develop
nents.
With completion of pipe
inc, the Kevin field becomes
IN actual commercial pro-
lucing field.

WIND TAKES GARAGE.

Aug. forenoon, pioneer rancher
eight miles east Of Kevin, had an un-
usual experience at p. m. Wednes-
day when small cyclone took an
18x36 garage and work shop and a
IA foot lean-to entirely off its foun-
dation and smashed it into thousands
OF pieces and blew parts for forty
rods. Mr.. Lorenzen had just driven
his car in the garage and gotten out.
The car was undamaged except for
a slightly bent top and a buggy
standing rods away was unmoved.
All machinery in the shed was not
damaged.

ANOTHER OPERATOR HERE.

AS days past it becomes increas-
ingly apparent that every big oil
man or operator in Montana is go
ing to take bet ON the Kevin-Sun-
burst field. On Monday Guy Craig,
field superintendent in Montana for
the Mid Northern, was at Kelvin and
while it was not learned what his
mission was, it is rumored that he in
tends to enter operations here for
himself and associates.

Campbell Well
Big Producer
By Test

AT 2::30 yesterday after
noon Gordon Campbell
put the pump on No. |.
discovery we'll in motion.
The pump test was public.
Hundreds of people came
into Kevin and visited the
field and saw for them
selves. The pump was
kept in operation through
out the day and night and
the nearest estimate is the
well on the first pump
ing went 800 barrels or
more. 1t will probably
take several days of
pumping before the exact
amount Of the test can be
told. At 10 o'clock last
the report was that
gas was showing stronger
and the well may even col
bigger than a thousand
barrels. The Courier will
give a full account of the
test in it's next issue.

THE COURIER GROWING.

Although The Courier was planned
at time when no one else cared to
risk starting such a venture, it has
received unstinted support from To-
cal business men of Kevin, TOOle
county and Others generally who
have invested here, III fact the bus
mess offered has been much more
than we could handle. The first ap-
pearance Of the paper gave the town
much advertising, indicating to all
that it's Importance was recognized,
and so impressed others that a sec
3 ond newspaper was launched last
week, and The Courier heartily well
comes the new paper and hopes 1t
may be the means of helping to ad-
vertise and promote the town, which
as The Courier has said before, needs
only men and money to make 1T
great. There is room for any man
or any business if the true richness
of the district and the possibilities
of the town are realized.
The Courier's faith in the town
and field has beeu so deep aid we'll
founded that it was determined from
the start to have plant inadequate
for the publication of a newspaper
that would be big enough and good
enough for the big city that this oil
field is sure to make. And that de-
termination will be followed out and
at an early date the publisher will
announce plans that we know will
offset the handicap that have been
incident to The Courier's early num-
bers and that will please its patrons
and all interests that believe in the
future of field and town.

NEW CELLAR DUG EAST

A cellar has already been made
on the old Sam McCrea homestead
between the site of the Big West
and that of the Three and One, ac-
cording to Andrew Dipple who owns
land in that territory. Mr.. Dipple
did not learn who was back of the
new we'll. He thinks that drillers
in the territory east of Kelvin will
find plenty of water from the numer-
GUS reservoirs which may easily be
piped to any location.
