Fergus Engineers
Estimate $50, 600
Flood Control Cost
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Lewistown, Feb. 28.--At Monday
nights session of the city council, the
Fergus County Society of Engineers
sent in it's report as to plans for con-
trolling flood waters in this vicinity
and averting the disastrous floods of
past years in Lewistwon. In general
way the society recommended the
strengthening Of the bed of Spring
creek, which will involve considerable
changes, and the widening of all the
bridges by the addition of another span
and the enlargement of the viaducts
near and across Main street. indie
pendent of the cost of acquiring any
property for such plan the cost
would be about $4,000 and it could
not be carried out in time to secure
full protection for this season, though
considered sound and in all ways prac-
ticable. What seems to be needed right
now is some temporary expedient, that
could be quickly and cheaply carried
out and yet made a part of this per-
manent, general plan.

DpEC1A ~ L uc AIlUUucs
Helena, Feb. 28.-Taking the view
that the decision Of the supreme court
of the United States in the matter Of
the Wisconsin and New York passenger
rate case has misled the public in that
it gives an impression that it abrogates
the authority of the railroad commits
sions of the several states, statement
has been issued by the Montana rail-
road commission setting forth the
effect Of the decision upon the COM
mission of this state.
The decision, the statement says,
does not curtail the powers of the state
commission any more than they have
ever been curtailed by federal super
vision.
The statement follows:
Only an Interpretation
'"The decision of the supreme court
Of the United States was simply an in
depreciation of the law under which
the interstate commerce commission
operates and gives to the interstate
commerce commission powers to set
aside rates and fares promulgated by
state authority. The state commission
does not object to the interstate COM
mercc commission having the power to
remove discrimination between states.

for a minute or two threatened to van

from the waiting room before the re-

STRIKE At BUFFALO
MAY OPEN LARGEST
FIELD IN MOnTA|VA
Four Great Domes Located on
24-Mile Oil Structure
Near HObson.
Specia Ito The Tribune.

Hobson, Feb. 2S.-Oil men n Ibis
section are confident that the diScoy-
cry of oil in the Buffalo well, ~ miles
southwest of Hobson will open up the
largest field yet found in Montana.
The Buffalo dome on which OIL WAS
struck at $40 feet is the smallest Of
four domes along a huge structure
which extends in the shape OF a
gigantic fish hook, with the eye of
the hook near the present well, the
shank extending "a miles north and
east, and the point resting in Hanck' $
coulee four miles south of Hobson.
On the structure are four well de-
fined domes. comprising probably
100000 acres. Of these the Buffalo
doae is the smallest with about $4,000
acres. The Antelope dome is the
highest and the others are the La
France and Hauck domes. 1t is said
that the possible field is five or ten
times as large as any other known oil
producing field in Montana.
Biologists state that the oil pos
sibilities of the other domes are excel
lent and the operator on the Antelope
dome expressed himself as highly
pleased with the progress of the Buff
falo well and said that the indications
tor production on the Antelope dome
are satisfactory.
It is said that oil from all of the
domes can be piped by gravity directly
to railroad points without the neces-
sity of pumps.
The new we'll was capped immedi-
ately after oil was struck to wait
for casing with which to shut off a
large flow of water 1t is said that
rumbling can be heard in the well and
the easing vibrates vigorously at times
and it is feared that the plug may be
blown out before work can be resumed
on the hole.
The we'll in NWSW 81 12-14 is on
the ranch bought on contract by III. J.
McCabe from $. S. Sorenson, known
as the King of Coal HILL The con
tract was not fulfilled by Mr.. McCabe
and the property reverted to Mr.. Sor-
enson. 1t is said. however. that Mr..
McCabe holds an equity in the proper
ty now valued at 100000.

Bar Married Men
From u. S. Marines
in Latest Order

The "bucks" who are now to be
admitted into the marine corps are
to travel alone and must have no
wife to leave grieving on the door
step, according to an order Just
issued BY Maj. Gen. John A. Le-
jeune. Only single men are now
eligible to Join the forces of the
sea soldiers.
The order is not issued as re-
Election on the fighting ability of
married men. There are plenty of
vaudeville heroes who have declared
that married men are the aces of
the game because of domestic ex-
perience, but this phase of the mat
ter is not mentioned by General
Lejeune.
Reasons given for the order are,
that the pay of private is insuffi-
cient to support wife and family
and that most stations lack quarters
for the families of enlisted men.

''The Montana commission has never
