Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Miles City, July 21.-That farmers
and ranchers are contemplating extend
ing their agricultural operations and
are making arrangements for intensive
farming activities is indicated in the
information received from the Selway
district, south of Miles City, where it

somewhat with the continued work to
get the crop in stack, but in spite of
this fact it is stated that the farmers
are getting along without much diff
ficulty and are preparing for grain
harvesting, the outlook for which is
most promising.
Lester Corbet, located on the divide,
has a field Of wheat which cannot be
excelled and is described as being
superb" The Selway is reported to
have escaped from the disastrous eff
fects of the heavy hail which fell in the
south country a few days ago.

s8,O00,0O0 READY
FOR MONTANA ROAD
WORK IN 3 YEARS
Amount Provided by Federal
Aid; Million for
: Forests.

Helena, July 21.-By The Associst-
ed Press.)-Montana will have avail
able approximately SS.o00om Of fed
eral funds for construction Of roads
within the next three years.
Of this amount S3,91S,i.i is pro-
vided for the amendment to the federal
highway act of 1921 recently adopted
by congress, which apportions 10 Mo-
tana post road funds amounting to
81, O31 .257 for the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1923: $~1,34O,3S1 for the year
ending June 30, 1924, and 1916, $50
for the year ending June 80, 1925.
Approximately 50 ,7OO,O0O remains OF
former federal aid appointments
which have not been matched by the
state.
Two items of S6,5O0,OOO each from
national forest funds are expected to
give Montana in the neighborhood of
81. 400, 900 in the next two fiscal years,
although the apportionment is not def
initely known.
In most states the federal post road
appropriations must be matched, dollar
for dollar, by state expenditures. In
states in which the ratio OF unappro-
priated public lands to the area OF ile
state is in excess of ) per cent, the
"5O-5O' proposition of the federal gov
eminent expenditures is increased
Montana. with un~appropriated public
lands which represent 6.0SO2 Of the
area of the state. needs only meet each
S53.O4 of federal funds with an ex-
penditure of S46.M of state funds in
construction Of approved federal aid
highways.
Another advantage accruing to the
state BY reason of it's Cos per cent
of unappropriated public lands is that
under federal ruling, the federal post
road fund will allow an aggregate eX-
penditure of S17,5O3 as its share of
the cost of each mile of federal aid
highway built in the state, as com
pared with $16.25O allowed in states in
which the ratio of u~nappropriated pub
lie lands is less than ) per cent of the
area of the state.
For the fiscal year ending June 30.
1924. this figure will be cut to S1J.912
for Montana. as compared with S13,OOO
in states with less than 5 per cent OF
unappropriated lands.

Report of Discovery Brought Crowds Swarmng to Test
Well. ( Mr. Pace Says Oil Strata Was
Reached at $50 Feet

Struck oil; don't know how much,
fixing to find out"
SUCH was the laconic answer which
o. R. B. Pace, superintendent in
charge of the test well at Teasdale,
gave to the eager seekers for infor-
nation who had buried out to the
we'll yesterday afternoon.
It was shortly before 3 p. m. when
a telephone message came to The Sun
from its Teasdale cor espondent an
nouncing that Oil had been found and
a few minutes later the Suns auto
mobile was flying to the spot.
Mr.. Pace said that the oil bearing
sands had been encountered Wednes-
day at 2:30 p. m. at an approximate
depth of $50 feet. A rock which he
now thinks was the cap rock, was
met at $50 feet. Then came strata
of brown shale, and then according
to MI. Pace, the drill entered oil
bearing sand. After boring into it
for a depth of 20 feet, Mr.. Pace de-
clared the work was stopped in or
der to substitute another bit, and
that the work with this bit would be
resumed today.
"Within the next 25 or 80 feet
Mr.. Pace said, Il hope to reach a
good flow of oil. The oil bearing
sands may extend to a depth of 100
feet, but we will be satisfied if the
depth is only so feet. Such samples
as we have obtained" Mr.. Pace con-
Oxford eagle. (Oxford, Lafayette Co., Miss.) 1876-current, 1922-04-20

answered. No one knows how long
it will take to strike oil, or whether
oil will be found at this point. 1t is
merely test well being put down to
ascertain whether or not oil is in that
section. There is no doubt but oil
will be reached, but the drillers may
have to go down 5000 or 1000 feet.
Again, an oil strata may e reached
at less than 1000 feet.
There is oil in North Mississippi
That is a certain. fact. The striking
of oil caring sand so miles west of
here in the western side of Pamela
county, near the Tallahatchie county
line, is proof of this statement. We
have it direct from Mr.. Pace, who is
in charge of the drilling at Teasdale
No. l, that rich showing of oil has
been hit, and that the quality of oil
is of a high grade. Mr.. Pace stated
to your editor that Teasdale No. 1,
according to indications at land,
would produce 100 barrels day OF
more.
Arrangements are now on foot to
secure another rig for the Oxford
fields which will be set up on the
Oxford eagle. (Oxford, Lafayette Co., Miss.) 1876-current, 1922-04-20
TO THE CITIZENS OF OXFORD

For the consideration of the pub
lie / wish to state the following:
| have made careful study of
what it will take, in case the bond
issue for schools carries. to run the
schools with the added departments
of Domestic Science, Manual Train
ing and a Commercial Course. Based
on present assessed valuation, l find
that under the most liberal support
it would not require more than a
three mill increase. The present
levy for schools is IL mills which
gives us surplus of about $4,000
per year. If all the proposed added
departments were to be put in the
first year a IA mill school levy would
run the school. In many cases the
Manual Training Department is. self
supporting. 1t could be made so in
Oxford.
But all these proposed departments
need not be added the first year. The
proposed building is planned for the
future. We can add these depart
ments as we feel able. The crying
need now is immediate relief from
the crowded, unwholesome and un-
sanitary conditions that prevail in
the present building. In support OF
this statement. the attention of the
reader is directed to the report of the
State Sanitary officer appearing in
this issue. The physical and mental
health Of your child is at stake. Let
your conscience be your guide.
Yours for better school conditions,
P. L. RAINWATER, Supt.
