BARKERS CREEK.

DR.. z. Il. Cody in The Baptist Cou-
cicr.
On Sunday, July 3, the new house
of worship Of the Barkcrs Creek
church, Saluda Association, was
dedicated. 1t was one of those oc-
casions that will abide in The mem
ory Of all who were there. The
writer had the pleasure Of being
with Pastor Hiott and his people for
the day and it was more than a
pleasure. This is the fourth house
of worship built by the Barkcrs
Greek church, which was organized
in 1921, and il is by far the most
beautiful Of the four. In its con-
struction the former, the third, house
of worship was almost completely
used for the Sunday school depart
ment, after being rcmodeled through
out. 1t also forms an addition to
the auditorium. The new auditorium
is built in front of its predecessor
and makes room complete within
itself. The house cost $4,000.
Under the guidance of Hon. T. l..
Clinkscalcs, Jr., it was dedicated
without dollar Of debt. It is a
beautiful building, and bids fair to
serve every purpose of the commun-
ity, in an adequate way, for quar-
ter of a century or more.
The history Of the church was
read by Pastor D. w. Hiott, but was
written by another 1t was inter
esting to note that Brother Hiott is
now pastor here for the fourth time.
The beginning of his pastoratcs was
some thirty-fivc years ago and dur
ing first or second pastoratc the
church erected it's third house Of
worship; and also Brother r. l.. |
Clinkscalcs, Jr., was chairman of the |
committee for it; as for it's
successor, the new building. Pastor
Hiott is greatly rcvcrcd and beloved
by his people and his present pastor
ate is the most successful of the
four.
In The afternoon there were ad-
dresses and talks by Rev. w. w.
Leathers, a former pastor of the
church, Rev. N. G. Wright, who was
converted and baptized into the
membership of this church, Mr.. T..
P. Vandiver, the moderator of the
Saluda Association, who in his talk
suggested that it would be beauti-
full thing for Barker's Creek to in
vitc the association to meet with it
In 1928; and Dr.. Jno. e. White who
delivered an address of great powcr
on the subject, "The House Not
Made With Hands at Barkcrs
Creek" We have seldom heard this
good preacher deliver greater mes
sage, and the folk hung on it from
the first word to the last with
thoughtful hearts. The women Of
the church gave us delightful din
ncr, or rather delightful dinners for
these great tables, covered with the
best that the culinery art can sup
ply, were here and there all over the
ground about the church. A great
concourse Of people were present,
not only from the community, but
from half dozen or more churches
in the association. We hope to be
at Barkcrs Creek July-August,
1923, at the greatest meeting of
the Saluda Association"

RUMOR UNTRUE SAYS LUKE

A flat denial that there is oil in
the Troy-Sweet Grass well in the
Kelvin Sunburst field was issued
Thursday night by Kenneth G. Luke,
secretary of the Troy-Sweet Grass
company.
Mr.. Luke explained that reports
Of oil by saying that persons had
visited the well and had seen water
on cables and believed that it was
oil.
''There is no oil where we are now
drilling" said Mr.. Luke. las /
have said before, we had a flow of oil
last fall at 1870 feet and we will
return to that if need be after we
are satisfied with our Investigations
at lower depths. l do not look for
any immediate developments. We
are now underreaming and carrying
down the casing and will continue
to drill"
In the face of the conflicting re-
ports, those interested in oil oper-
ations seemed largely divided in
their belief as to the condition of the
Troy-Sweet grass well. While several
felt that their original reports were
trustworthy, the flat denials of the
company kept such rumors from
gaining great Roadway.

ALOE OIL COMPANY
DRILL NEAR HERE

According to announcement O
Fred Lott, now in Great Falls com
pleting negotiations, the Aloe on
Co., a common law trust ORGANIZED
by Cut Bank men, a we'll is TO DC
drilled on section 6-34-2W, a loca-
ton just two miles east and south
of Kelvin. Reports from Cut Bank
is to the effect that the site was Sc
lected for the company by Jamison
& Howard and approved by Dorsey
Hager, biologists, and production is
expected at 1900 to 1900 feet. A
standard rig is to be used and some
stock will be placed on the market.
No information is given as to the
holdings of the company, except the
first we'll is to be on ground con-
trolled by the Rocky Ridge Oil Co.,
also a Cut Bank concern.
The Kevin courier. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1922, 1922-06-06

Gordon Campbell has this to say in
part:
We have not sold out to the
Standard-No one ever had such
an idea-we have never even had
an offer. No doubt the California
company will, and is dealing for acre
age in this field, and when they enter
the field you will have more reason
to know you have something valuable
and worth while. We expect them to
be in along with many other large
companies, but hal is no sign you
are to be sold out, and no sign some
body is going to cheat our company.
The best barometer we have regard
ing our field is that the Califoria
company is trying to buy acreage.
There is many holdings in the field
besides the syndicate's holdings.
Most of them l sold and dealt for be-
fore the Gordon Campbell-Kevin
syndicate was organized; and I still
have some personal holdings which
is being dealt for; but this has moth
ing to do whatever, with the syn
dicates acreage.
"Co-operation, faith, and believ-
ing in the principal that leads men
to success is all we ask until we
bring u property under a full de-
velopment campaign

SUNBURST WELL
Continued from First Page)

The Sunburst No. l was spuddeJ
in 20 day. prior to the tinc it came
in and only about four days Of this
time was taken in minor delays. The
drilling record is regarded a5 ex-
ceptional, although in this field oper-
ators expect easy drilling, the for
nations permitting the drilling tc
unusual depths without the need OF
castings.
Under W. E. Burks, [of the firm
of Clark and Burk5l were Van
Krieger and "Job' Dennis two ex-
perienced drillers in the Montana
fields. Mr.. Krieger was a driller on
the Gordon Campbell Kelvin syndi-
cate we'll. The only delays in actual
drilling ta.Aa when the first heavy
gas flow reached at 1885 feet, was
being cased oc, during a short fish
ing job, and awaiting new cable.
The Sunburst Oil & Gas company
is said to control virtually two
thirds of area n the neghborhood
of the well, holding in some 40, 900
acres.
Other principal holders OF acreage
in the Kevin-Sunburst structure are
Gordon Campbell-Kevin syndicate,
Gordon Campbell interests, Troy
Sweet Grass Oil & Gas Co.,, Potlatch
Oil and Refining Co., Rhoades in
t~erests, Arby Beardslee, Three-In-One
Oil syndicate, Homestake exploration
company, Charles Orchard, Rain
bow Oil company, Western Petroleum
exploration company, J.. D.. w.
Schaffer, and others.
The Sunburst Oil & Gas company
was organized last November by L..
c.. Stevenson, following a report
made on the structure by Jameson
& Howard, biologists. M. Stevenson
was previously associated with Mr..
Campbell in the first operations in
the field. Following the report of
his biologists, he began adding to his
already large personal holdings, turn
ing them over to his company. De-
spite the period of business depres-
sion that had come in Montana, Mr..
Stevenson succeeded in financing his
organization.
The stockholders of the company
range from those holding one share
to some with 10000. Many stock
holders are in the state, the great
est part among automobile men of
the east, and several among insur-
ance men of California.
The company has two other To-
cations, rigging up being we'll under
on the southeast quarter of the
southeast quarter of section 5, town
ship 35 north, range 2 west, and a
rig having been purchased for the
Sunburst No. 3 on the northeast
quarter of the southeast quarter of
section 10, township 35 north, range
2 west.
Great Falls is certain to be the
mecca Of every large operator, ac-
cording to the oil men, since the
acreage involved is almost tncon-
ceivably in terms of former oil
fields.

TAKING kelvin ACREAGE

The Tri-City Oil company, of
which l.. P. Jackson is directing
head, is taking some acreage in the
Kelvin field, it has been learned. The
company is now in control of some
500 acres and will shortly start a
we'll on either a southern offset or
on close-in acreage. 1t is understood
Jackson is a member of the Campbell
interests organization, in the land
department. His company is now
making a deep test in the Devils
Basin, it's chief activity at the pre-
sent time. A number of Great Falls
men are heavily interested in the
Tri-City company.

The interest in Kelvin, THE Oil

will arrange for agencies to handle
the sale of lots. The original town
site and first addition has sold Sc
well since being offered that com
pletion of the Louis addition, par
ticulars of which were given by the

STAMPS by the Ton.

An output of 315,285, 900 postage
stamps from the bureau Of engraving

ord that may well be noted for two
reasons. first as an evidence Of the
efficiency Of the governments great

then as token of the country's letter

increase. 1t requires bit Of keen
imagination to realize the immensely

ing Of bonds and certificates Of in
debtedness for the Treasury.
The product of 1896 900 postage
stamps Monday filed 5S8 mail pouches.
That, in turn, means many thousands
of mail pouches filled with matter
carried by these same stamps.
Few Washingtonians appreciate the
Aact that in this city are located two

In the world. the government printing
office and the bureau Of engraving.
Each in its own line has been brought
to a remarkably high state Of ef-
ficiency. Each turns out the govern
ment's work quickly and in vast vol.
umes. Each does the very best of
work. Upon the engraving bureau de-
ponds the security Of incalculable
values. Its product must be perfect.
Its work must be prompt. A slack
ness OF production in quality or in
quantity may cause enormously heavy
losses.
When a number of years ago the
government undertook the printing of
it's own postage stamps, previously
produced under contract. doubts were
expressed whether this work. SO es-
sential to the maintenance of the mail
service, could be satisfactorily done in
u public plant. The record has silenced
all such questions.
