COUNTY ASSETS
REDUCED HALF
BY COURT RULE
Elimination Of Bridges and
Roads Would Alter Total of
Property Value.

The total of Cascade county, now
amounting to $3.50, 838.37, would be
reduced to nearly half that amount if
the supreme court opinion holding that
county roads and bridges should be
considered public property instead OF
county property, applies as now in
aterpreted Roads and bridges carried
as assets of Cascade county, accord
ing to the last annual report of Coun-
ty Clerk John 3. Moran, have a valu-
alton Of 81, 13S,2S7.83.
Not Included In Adjustment
All counties of the state, like Cas-
cade county. Mr.. Moran stated, have
included bridges and roads as assets
on the assumption that they represent
ed so much capital invested by the
counties. But the supreme court has
ruled that these properties cannot be
classed as owned by the county be-
cause the county acts only as an agent
in spending the funds required to build
the properties. Mr.. Moran is of the
opinion, however, that bridges and
roads can be called assets in q state
ment Of the county's condition, but not
when an adjustment of obligations be-
tween counties is being made.
Commission to Reconvene
County Attorney w. j. Tighe was
instructed by the board Of county com
missiOners Saturday to investigate and
determine whether the county should
take steps to require the board of adj
busters that established the amount of
money due Cascade county from Judith
Basin county, to reconvene and modify
the report in accordance with the SUI
preme court decision. 1t is the claim
of attorneys that Judith Basin county
owes Cascade county between $4,000
and $4,000 more than the amount
computed by the commission.

HUCEGAS FLOW
FOUND IN WELL
AT SWEETCRASS
Estimated Flow Is 100000
Feet Daily; $50 Pound
Gauge Blown Off.

Pressure guages went 9limmering re-
Gently when they were Installed to test
the gas flow from an oil well in Toole
county, about 80 miles northeast Of
Shelby, according to information from
q. G. Howard, petroleum engineer, o.
the firm of Jameson & Howard.
The well is owned by the Troy Sweet
Grass Oil syndicate, whose stockh0ld.
ers are associated with the Weyerhauser
Lumber company of Troy. Gas wat
struck at 1860 feet and the flow wal
so great that it was stopped only With
difficulty, Mr.. Howard said. A 35e
pound pressure gauge was attached
and was blown off almost instantly
The pressure is estimated at Inllcf
greater than $50 pounds and rather
than take chances on destroying more
gauges the flow was checked and the
pipe plugged.
VIII Drill Deeper
Although the oil company hos rot
announced its intention to commercial.
ize the gas and will keep drilling 70,
oil until the 1900 foot level is reached
the discovery of gas in that section
may mean the beginning Of an i'm.
portant commercial industry for north
ern Montana, Mr.. Howard said.
There is indication that there is gas
in other sands than the one giving the
big flow, biologists said. A conserva-
tive estimate of the flow Of gas " 'uld
place it at more than 100000 cubic
feet day and there is indication that
the flow is permanent. IT ut least
might not be exhausted for many ...ears
Mr.. Howard said. He mentioned gas
fields in West Virginia, Indiana, II.
linois, California and the famous Cor.
pus Christi field in Texas, where the
gas well have been in operation for
10 or Is years and are going bigger
now than when they were discovered
Could Supply City
The gas from the Toole county wel'
has a heating capacity of 100 British
thermal units per cubic foot, or twice
the heating capacity Of manufactured
gas, he said. He estimated that there
would be a big enough supply fron
the one well to supply Great Falls
with gas for heating and cooking pur-
poses.
He pointed out that the gas could
be piped into many northern Montana
towns from fields in the vicinity of The
Troy Sweet Grass well If other wells
are discovered. II thot territory lives
up to the present Indications the whole
northern part of the state rnny be
supplied with natural gas,
Mr.. Howard said
