The California Company, one Of
the largest of the Standard Oil sub
salaries, few days ago, paid $685.
600 in cash for $50 acres of close-in
land, adjoining the Sunburst discov-
cry. Government permit land in the
same neighborhood will bring the
California company's holdings in that
particular section up to $50 acres
Permit land, offsetting the Steven
son well, recently brought as high
as $500 per acre, while land further
away and included in the same deal
sold down to $3.50.
This land was acquired from Cor
don Campbell, discoverer of the dis
trict, Arbe Beardslee, his principal
hacker and the Rhoades syndicate,
a group of Great Falls and Lewistown
men, who also helped to finance
Campbell in his quest of oil. Aside
from Campbell, the man who will
profit most by this deal is Beardslee,
a former Beaverhead county flock
master, who had the pluck 20 get
behind Campbell with his money at
a time when oil in the Kelvin district
looked like a high card gamble. Fol-
lowing the strike things have been
coming Beardslee's way in rapid ia
shion. He has taken in more real
hard cash, upwards of 100000, than
any other man interested in the north
and with the game still young, is
holding thousands of acres of good
leaseholds.
The Rhoades syndicate, of which
Judge Dusty Rheades of Great
Falls is the head, profits something
like $4,000 by this deal. The AZ
members of this syndicate put up
s11, 900 for Campbell in his need,
some six months ago, and have
drawn down something in excess of
five dollars for every dollar advanc-
ed, not a poor return in these times.
In addition to the cash, the Rhoades
syndicate, Campbell and Beardslee
each retain five per cent royalty
hich should be productive of excel
lent returns. The deal was nego-
tiated through AL Palmer, manager
of the California company, powerful
subsidiary of the Standard Oil Co.
The Ohio company, a Standard
subsidiary which, with the Midwest,
dominates the Wyoming fields, has
also been a heavy buyer during the
past week, having made extensive
purchases of leases in the neighbor-
hood of the Campbell we'll. Its hold
ings run into several thousand acres.
and it is said to be planning an ex-
tensive development campaign, with
a train-load of drilling rigs and |
equipment on the way. Incidentally |
it should be said that the Ohio COM
pany controls the Illinois Pipe Line |
company, largest carrier of crude oil |
in the world. 1t is said that oil de-
veloped by the Ohio company will
be shipped north to Regina, where

cts too much work, and besides
the old family rain barrel has been
thrown into the discard is the plant
of the modern girl, who, when it
comes to her hair, takes her laundry
out. A survey made of all beauty
parlors in the state shows that the
number of women who are having
their hair shampooed and their nails
manicured is increasing every year,
every month, every week and every
day. Even during the business de-
preston of the last few months, the
decrease in the number of customers
who are addicted to shampoos has
been negligible, according to those
whose profession is to give them.
Not only because her hair is bet
ter cared for when she has it sham
pooed by professional, is milady
taking to the shampoo as part of her
regular routine, but because she en-
joys the relaxation that it affords,
was the statement of several beauty
specialists. One of these remarked
that she had many patrons who as
sured her that their biggest reason
in having their hair done by her was
that it rested them either at the end
of hard day or in the midst of a
strenuous one.
The marcel wave is becoming more
and more popular, it is contended by
those who know the signs of the
times. They say that the miss of
1922 is too much occupied with other
interests to wish to spend long hours
curling her hair and she loves COM
fort too much to wish to sleep in the
misery of kid curriers' or kinkers.
Work or play takes up the entire
time of the majority of girls, they
say, while explaining that the aver
age woman desires to appear imma-
culate and with that well groomed
air that cannot be had without a
certain devotion to her toilet. If she
wishes to accomplish this effect with
the least possible effort, she patron
ICES the beauty shops, where she has
her hair curled in manner that
makes this a negligible problem,
since it will not have to be done
again for several weeks; where she
has her hair washed and dried with
the least expenditure of time; where
she has her nails cared for; where
she has her face massaged, is the
assertion of the beauty specialists,
who say that where women former
1y considered these things Injuries,
they now list them as necessities and
economic on other things rather
than miss the pleasure, comfort and
benefit from having them done by
professionals.

II is stated that over 40 drilling
rigs are either on the ground, being
rugged up or are in transit to the
northern fields.
While the California and the Ohio
are both subsidiaries of the big
Standard Oil Co., they are the keen
est rivals in the northern field and
operate as though they had no con-
nection whatever. The California
company has been particularly active
in acquiring land on the Rocky
Ridge dome, while the Ohio has been
picking I'D ground on the other side
and nearer to the Sunburst well.
One of the strong Montana leasing
companies organized during the past
week at Great Falls was the North

the world, think, who was ever tried

And he would have got away with it
too, had it not been for the interposi

All the old-timers will remember
"Coxey's army" the collection of the

were gathering in all parts of the
country, during that period of de-

and there demand employment from
the government.
points and soon there was an en-
campment of several thousand men
on the flat under the command OF
General Hogan. Hogan, who in many
ways was a remarkable man, was a
genius at organization and soon had
the army under splendid discipline.
They gave the authorities no trouble,
either collectively or individually.
The merchants and people of Butte
contributed literally to their support
and wished eagerly for the day when
they would find some means of trans
portation toward the east, where at
some point in the middle west they
were to join with the other "Coxey

One evening group of Coxeyites
boarded a long freight train, quietly
removed the train crew, who offered
no resistance, and went footing over
the divide toward Bozeman. Hogan

train, and that in ordering pursuit
of the army" that they double
crossed him.

G1endive, where they found the track
crowned by an immense pile of ties
and thanked by gatling guns, man
ned by a troop of soldiers.
They realized the game was up
and accepting the result philosophi-
cally proceeded to build fires along
he track and prepare their evening
meal.
Meanwhile, pompous, booted and
spurred army officer, hustled about
among the group, asking for Gen
sral Hogan" Though Hogan was
standing several times within few

With a penknife, the Coxeyite adj

For over an hour the colonel went

finally one of the soldiers, pointing
tut Hogan, told him that he thought
hat was the man.
The army officer came to halt in
ront of Hogan, who continued whit

"Are you in command of this dam
