Illinois Follows
n With
Purchase of Track

Following development plans an
nounced early in June, the Illinois Pipe
Line company has purchased a site of
four blocks of track from the Great
Northern railway with the necessary
~trackage. The site is a mile north of
Sunburst.
As announced on the first visit of the
officials to the field, when the building
of a 1880 barrel storage tanl, was
authorized, and several cars of 6-inch
pipe ordered, pipe will be laid to serve
all parts of the field as commercial
production is obtained. Further mate
rails have been ordered and connecting
up the line will be started with its ar
rival on the ground.
The bringing in of recent wells in
the field, as well as the development
program announced by the Ohio Oil
company, is said to have speeded the
plans of the pipe line company. The
Illinois Pipe Line company is a sub
sidiary of the Ohio and follows it into
the oil fields where that company plans
development.

FRAZER TAKES
OVER ACREAGE
ON BEARS DEN
Liberty County Structure Will
Be Drilled After NOvem-
Der /.

The Bears Den structure in Liberty
county will be tested this fall by an
association headed by Kenneth B. Fra
ger of Great Falls, according to an
announcement made Thursday.
Frazer and his associates have taken
over a block of four sections of per-
mits and leases on the structure, or
about half of the acreage, from A. III.
Hover. A large part of this acreage
is the permit of Oliver Ritter. who re-
tains some overriding royalty under
the terms of the agreement.
Frazer has contracted to move ma
~terials on the ground by October l
and to start drilling by November /,
with a standard rig. Geological reports
place the best chance at production in
the lower Ellis or top of the Madison,
at a depth of approximately 1000 feet.
The structure has been reported on by
F. R. IngaIsbe and Fred X. Houston
and was recently plane tabled. 1t is
said to have a large drainage area.
The deal whereby the Frazer inter
ests took over the acreage and drilling
obligations was made through C. NJ.

to their less fortunate brothers and

Clean politics is an imperative need
of a community that is to have the
means for clean and decent living. DR..
Williams believes. He made a plea
for the boys and girls of America and
stated that he believes much is being
done for them. the public conscience
concerning their welfare awakening.
The vote is the medium through which

The GLADYS Belle well on section
1852 W. bailed go barrels of oil in
three hours Thursday afternoon, after
drilling had been stopped at six feet
INTO the sand. The oil stood at 1,5OO
feet in the hole when the bailing was
started and at 1900 feet on the end of
the run, according to reports from
Shelby.
The results from the bailing of the
Gladys Belle led oil men to estimate
that il will make. in conservative fig
ures. a %2O0-barrel well. or the best
that has yet beer obtained in the field;
Baume tests of the Oil showed varied
results. if reports are correct, one
being that il tested % specific gravity
and the second that it tested 81: The
oil is described as less sour than

Two $50 barrel tanks are being
erected at the well and after filling
these, the we'll will stand until con-
nected with the Illinois Pipe Line com
pany's line. A bailer ran TO the bot
tom OF the DOle SHOWED no NdleI pres
ent. it was announced. Production IS
in the Liasal Ellis formation, according
to Dorsey Hager of the Sunburst.
One hundred fifty feet of oil is stand
ing in the well of the California com
pany on the Morton lease in section
1892 w, according to reports from
Shelby and the indications are that ii
will prove a good well. The hole was
at 1870 feet and had only tapped the
sand. it was reported. when cavings
made it impossible to drill further and
operations were stopped for the run
ming Of 10-inch casing.
The production comes from the top
of the Ellis and is the shallowest well
in the field if further drilling brings
results equal to the present indications.
There is no water in the oil standing
in the hole. With the bad cave-ins and
the fact that the sand was only tapped,
oil men feel confident that it will show
production.
Fulton Stops Drill
The W. M. Fulton well or section
1-34-2 w. has stopped drilling at a

NEWS OF MONTANA OIL FIELDS
DEVELOPMENTS
IMPORTANT IN
NORTH-HANSEN
Oil Man Believes Competitions
Over Scattered Area
Means Much :.

Impressed with the possibilities of
the northern Montana fields by a trip
that included visits at the wells. George
T. Hansen, president OF. the recently
organized Montana S~weetgrass Oil u
Gas company, will make his head
quarters in Great Falls in development
plans that include the mining as well
as the oil industry of the state.
Impressed With Conditions
t'The Developments of the last few
DAYS have been important ones to the
northern field he said on his return
to Great Falls. II was much impressed
with conditions. There have been Local
results in drilling that have puzzled oil
men. but the success in wells SO widely
scattered means much to practical on
men. The coming in of the Gladys Belle
well has shown. to my mind, that the
pool will be defined.
The field is Il highly attractive one
in many ways to the oil man, including
as it does good transportation. easy
drilling depth, a grade of oil of this
kind and a good market. With low DIP
fields and sands such as we have ur
here. we can expect a field of long
life even though they don't prove OF
the big gusher type. 1t is long lived
fields such as this promises to be that
bring the true returns on investment.
Il have come to believe so thorough
ly in the promise of the section that
| will spend much of my time in our
offices here"
viii Open Mines
Hansen is also interested in mining
developments in the state. He an
nounced that gold mines near BancocB
opened by him at the time of the war.
when the rising cost of production
made them less profitable than be
thought warranted development al
that time, will be reopened next spring
The mines are of gold content ores
that are profitable when cost of ope.
ration is not too great.
He also is interested in properties
near Basin, of copper, gold and silver
ores, which he will inspect in a short
time in company with some of his
associates. These properties would
need some development work.
The visit of Governor Frantz. associ-
ated with Hansen in the Montana
Sweetgrass, was delayed and Hansen
will return to the city to make the
trip over the field again with him.

Berea Commencement

Not within the memory Of the
oldest Of Berea inhabitants has the
College experienced a more success
full Commencement week than the one
that has just closed. The festivities
began with a light and humorous
play put on by the college senior
class. II was followed on Friday
night by the frst rendition Of Mar
tina. The Tabefnacle way crowded,
the singers up to par, and every
body enjoyed a delightful time.
The Commencement sermon, deli
vered by President Hutchins, was u
direct appeal to manhood; TO char
acter; and to the requirement that
Jehovah makes of every individual
soul. His sermon was more person.
al than general, and contained a les
son for each individual graduate.
The address of Sunday night was
one that will not be forgotten by the
youngest student during the full run
Of his years. II was delivered by
Col. Raymond Robins Of Chicago,
who has had one of the most inter-
esting and unique careers of any
American citizen. A brief report
Of his address will be found in other
columns of this issue, Ramona Rob
,na -. I.A
great friend of the laboring man. He
is a sound believer in finances, an
unyielding fighter for clean politics,
and a believer in the divine leader
ship of Jesus Christ. Possibly no
living American knows more about
Russia and Russian troubles than Mr..
Robins. II was surely a rare privilege
for the citizens and students Of Be-
rea to hear him. Not oncel Nor
twice. Nor thrice! But four times.
For he became so enthused over Be-
rea that he stayed from Sunday un-
til Wednesday night.
Commencement day was ushered in
with bright sun. The hillside Of the
campus from Elipse street entirely
around the tabernacle was crowded
with horses, buggies. wagons, and
automobiles. 1t would not be accur-
ate to estimate the crowd. but the
number certainly ran into the thous-
ands.
The Tabernacle was crowded dur.
ing the morning exercises conducted
by the Vocational School, the Aca-
deny, and Normal school. Then the
unusual thing happened. The entire
crowd marched from the tabernacle

to the chapel where the concluding
exercises Of the morning were held.
The graduates were seated as on
Baccalaureate Sunday, with the ex-
ception of four chosen members OF
the college graduating class, who sat
on the platform and delivered short
speeches. After the speeches the
main address o., the pa0rnjpg was de-
delivered by Rev. Hedriek Z. Shan.
