THE OLD STATION-MASTER

He is at least a thousand years old, and
he wears ancient-style whiskers like those
of William H. Vanderbilt. His business is
to tell people who come to him in lather
with their tongues lolling out and asking
about the train for Prairie du Chen, that
it has gone. 1t is so seldom that Mil
waukee train really has gone, that he does
it with more pride than sympathy, though
he is heartful old soul at that.
1 looked across between two orange
colored cars and asked him if the fishing
were good there. He said:
eyes, pretty good," and he said it as
fisherman would say it, with twinkle
in his eye and drool on his lips. "Not
just here, but not far away"
"What they catch-bullheads ?"
eyes, some bullheads, and perch. I'm
going fsin' now."
"Doggone you'll" 1 said sincerely. "Hush
up! Some people have all the luck. I can't
eVer get to fish,"
He laughed delightedly at my abuse, be-
cause he felt himself in the presence of
another fishing nut.
The conductor called "Aboard," the old
train-master threw the rubber-topped step
onto the platform and got on with me to
60 to McGregor He followed me to my
seat, leaned over and said: "That's one
thing-fshin'-th Pm crazy about. Why
me and another Teller went away up north
here one time to fish, and, sir, we caught
not less than hundred and fifty pounds
of fsh-all muskellunge. And we had
nothin' but little bits O. poles! We let
every one of 'em play as long as he
wanted to, then we landed him. Then an
ether time we went out for croppie, and
we caught seventy-fve of 'em that was"
he leaned over and marked we'll up on my
cane"-that long. They'd weigh close to
two pounds apiece. Tell you"-and he
twinkled and chuckled and went away
wagging his whiskers and feeling friendly
to the passing stranger who had liked him
we'll enough to take the trouble to say
"Doggone you'll" with heartfelt unction.-

In the last few minutes Of the day,
sellers of wheat were in a decided ma

was falling somewhat swiftly. After
the close, additional deliveries on May
contracts took place. a~ggregating 1.047--

.RUN0R Of TR0Y-SWEETCRASS
OIL STRIKE GAINS CREDENCE
Luke and Jones Leave Great Falls Hurriedly
When Railway Telegram Comes; Met in
Shelby by Their Own Geologist.

That the Troy-Sweetgrass Oil e. Gas
No. / well has come in with 200 feet
of oil standing in the hole was the in
formation received Wednesday by oil
men of Great Falls, and coming from
apparently reliable sources, was re
garded as the fact. despite lack of con
firmation from company officials.
The report was given added weight
with Great Falls oil men when it be
came known that President Jencs of
the company and Kenneth Luke, secre-
tary. in Great Falls on business, left
hurriedly for Shelby, following the re-
port. Reports from Shelby we're that
they were met on their arrival in Shell
by by the company g%eologist under cir
cumstances that tended to confirm un-
usual conditions to exist at the well.
Kenneth Luke, secretary of the
Troy-Sweetgrass, reached by telephone
at Shelby shortly before midnight We'd
nesday, said that he had no reason to
believe the report to be true.
Means Big Kelvin Field
Should the reports of the success of
the Troy-Sweetgrass be true. it will
be of immense Importance to the Kew
n-Sunburst field, according TO oil men.
and will be interpreted as meaning a
producing area of tremendous acre
age, many times larger than some of
the most successful producing fields in
America. The well is being drilled with
a diamond drill and has a two-inch hole
at the present depth. which is more
than 1,600 feet, believed by oil men
sufficient to place it at about the same
depth as the Gordon Campbell-Kevin
syndicate No. l, the discovery well, IL
miles west and eight miles north.
The chief information received by
the public was received in a telegram
sent at 1:3O Wednesday afternoon by
the Great Northern agent at Kelvin to
railway officials and made public by
them. 1t read:
Report here is that Troy-Sweet-
grass well came in last night while
tools. Two hundred feet of
oil in casing this morning"
Agree on 200 Feet Of OIL
This report was supported by infor-
reaching Great Falls from other
sources and from scouts in the field,
agreeing upon the report of 200 feet
oil in the well.
The report issued by the Troy
.weetgrass offices as reported by The
Tribune correspondent at Shelby was:
The report that the Troy-Sweet-
grass brought in oil while fishing for
tools is not authentic. The Troy
Sweetgrass well. while showing consid-
oil. has not increased any dur
ing the last few days. Indications are
very encouraging"
Would Produce II Shot
While in Great Falls, Mr.. Luke said
hat the drilling was more than 100
in the Ellis. He said that indica-
lions were good and confirmed a state
nent previously made by Charles Fam
,ns. geologist for the company. that
was a possibility for production
1t that time if the hole were shot.
Mr.. lannon's had said that there was
1 good possibility for production should
he hole be shot with nitroglycerp, al
the small hole made by the dia-
nond drill would make this difficult.
Mr.. Luke said that, although the
company officials recognized this pos
