$54,768 Postal
Savings Increase
Boosts Falls P. O,

Postal savings accounts in the Great
Falls post office increased $54, 76s
during the month of October, and the
office jumped from 92nd to Goth place
among the officers of the service in
postal savings, according to a report
received by Postmaster William Clus-
ton.
The deposits were unusually large
during the month of October, the re-
port shows. The increase in Great
Falls for October was 40 per cent
over the preceding month. This in
crease was more than half that Of the
largest increase made by any city.
Los Angeles, Calf. with an increase
in deposits of SS9,691, stood first.
In all offices throughout the serv-
ice where the deposits total more than
500, 900. the increase was good, the
report shows, especially III the west
ern cities.
OF the II cities having deposits in
excess of 81 900 only three re-
ported increases during October, these
being Tacoma. and Seattle, Wash.
and Portland, Ore.
Postal officials see in the October
deposits, signs of returning health to
the postal savings system because of
the apparent check in withdrawals.

Plans to Secure Ball at
Next Term.

Artura Antonini, a miner of Center
vile, who is about 40 years old, was
lodged in the county Jail Saturday on

Gene Morlacci's leg was grazed with
q bullet said to have been fired at

Antonini and Ioppa had a quarrel at
the American soft drink parlor at
Tracy on December IS, according to

the complaint in the G. A. Wilson jus
tice court for Antonipi's arrest. Anto-
mini left and returned with a gun he
had secured at the A. G. NJ. coal mine
No. 4, two miles away, the shot fol-
lowing.
Antonini plans to secure bail to

STRANGEST OF WELLS CLAIMED
BY BILLINGS; HOT CRUDE HITS
AIR TO CONCEAL OR SHIFT COLOR

oil congeaIs and has the appearance
of vaseiine. 1t is as light in color
and congeals as easily. The tempera-
ture of the body is enough to bring it
back to liquid state and it need be
held in the hand but a few minutes to
bring this result.
"A fact that has but recently been
noticed by oil men is that the color
of the oil actually changes. The
change takes place most quickly it the
crude is kept warm. The oil loses its
greenish tinge and turns to light oil.
This is seen If the bottle of oil is left
standing for several days. The green
oil takes the top Of the bottle and the
yellow oil settles to the bottom, and
steadily ~encroaches on the green until
the entire bottle is n light brown.
IAN additional unusual feature of
the oil is that despite it's high viscosity,
the oil is also Of high gravity, testing
even higher than Cat Greek. Because
of the depth of the well, the oil is hot
when it comes out Of the hole but
quickly ~congeals ON the surface. The
heat of the oil from the depth of the
hole is such that the driller in han
ding the bailer touches it s~paringly.
Oil men tell of wells drilled ito depths
where the bailer is handled with
tongs."
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-12-31

Oil men when they gather can tell
of strange things that come from the
deep tests of the earth. They tell OF
strange earth formations, of strange
drilling experiences and strange kinds
of crude oil.
They tell of the man who obtained
his production, not by drilling but by
tunnelling into the side of a hill, They
tell of the highest field price in the
world which is paid for the product of
that well. the sole constituent of q
well known medical preparation.
But providing a source of new tales
for the oil men is the Barnsdau-F Eos
ter we'll on the Lake Basin structure
of southern Montana.
The well recently caused new excite.
ment when it flowed over the top of
the casing. 1t was found to be but a
small amount of oil on a column OF
water. The well is now reported to be
at more than $500 feet
A recent visitor in Great Falls from
Billings tells about the oil from the
BarnsdaIl- Foster well:
'eThis oil, coming from the deep
test, first caught the attention of the
oil men by its high viscosity. At the
ordinary temperature OF = room, the

new ROLLING
STOCK TO CUT
CAR SHORTAGE
Milwaukee Places Large Order
With North Montana Area
to Benefit.

Again. and for the third time in
about as many months, the Milwaukee
railroad announced the purchase OF q
large volume of new rolling stock tor
IFS lines. The latest purchase IN
cludes rs engines, 5000 gondolas, q
600 box cars and 500 automobile cars.
This news is contained in an
snent received at the Northern Mon
tana division offices OF the road mere
from J. r. Veitch, assistant traffic
manager. with offices in Seattle.
The new engines are OF the type
known as Mikados, being large. heavy
duty engines designed for freight use.
The gondolas are for transporting
coal and ore. The 1000 box cars are
Of the type used for wheat, and will
add materially in another season to-
ward moving crops in the western
states covered by the Milwaukee. The
automobile cars are end door car
riers. No date is announced for de-
livery of these by the contractors to
the railroad, but merely that the Or
der is being placed:
Before there had been any settle
ment of the strike the Milwaukee an
nounced. early in September, that g.
600 box cars had been ordered to be
delivered at the rate of 100 a day, the
majority Of them coming into Montana
to relieve the car shortage for NOV

receipt of these cars which helped

ment, later in the fall. told Of orders
placed for several thousand more

While the latest order may not ma
terialize in the point of visible rolling
stock for several months, the entire
policy of the Milwaukee as regards
equipment is to insure adequate cars
to take care Of all sorts of freight IN
