METHODIST
CHURCHES MERGE
Rev. MeckIenburp to Supervise First
Episcopal and Warren Church
Activities.

Announcement of the merging of the
First Methodist Episcopal church and
the Warren Methodist church was
made Saturday by the Rev. George
Mecklenburg, pastor Of the first
church, who has been appointed to
serve for the west side church also.
The appointment was made by Bishop
Charles Wesley Burns and District
Superintendent J. A. Martin, who
stated the consolidation is significant
in that it shows the tendency to unite
the work of the church under one
head for efficiency and effectiveness.
The Rev. Mr.. M~ecklenburg is
making plans for extensive work in
his new territory. To determine the
type of activity that is most needed,
the Rev. Philo Haynes, Sunday school
missionary. and Miss Marguerite Ham
merly, secretary of the First church,
will make a survey there this week.
1t is probable that an associate pastor
will be appointed to assist in carrying
out an extensive social program. Rev.
M%ecklenburg will leave for the east in
January and while in New York and
Chicago viii employ an educational
director to take charge of the church's
social and educational program.

FULTON SOLVES
WATER PROBLEM
IN NORTH AREA
Process Makes Large
Supply Available at Low
Cost.

Water problems of the northern
fields have no difficulties for W. M.
Fulton, who now has the record of
solving this obstacle to drilling.
Last summer, while drilling on sec
ton 1912 W, Mr.. Fulton obtained a
cheap water supply when he struck a
flow of rank water in his first drill
ing and used a treating process to
make it possible to use it in his
boilers. 1t was the first case of water
treatment in the field
With the lack of water during the
winter. Mr.. Fulton has again obtained
a supply at considerably less cost than
that of other drillers. The Great
Northern railway owns a pond Of
water near Kelvin. The water is SO
rank and has so much alkali in it that
operators had considered it useless.
The railway gave permission to Mr..
Fulton and other operators to use as
much as they liked. Mr.. Fulton had
an analysis made by a chemist and
worked out a method of treatment
that purifies it.
The hauling cost was another prob
lem in drilling his new well in section
1882 W, where he is operating on a
Sunburst lease. Trucks with tanks
had previously been used by operators.
Mr.. Fulton is using a small tractor
with a large tank wagon, the truck
making four and five trips II day He
will now place two men on the tractor
running night and day, with the re
suit that the water supply for his
drilling will cost about $50 a day.
while some operators will pay four and
five times that amount during part OF
the winter.
He has combined with another
operator in the installation Of a case
line engine and pump at the pond
The Fulton well on section 1850
. W is now down 200 feet.

be at least Monday before it will be
possible to drill the well into the gas
sand Of the Berg No. 1. The gas flow
when the top of the sand was struck is
reported to be considerably less than
that in the No. 1 well, and this fact
is taken as an encouraging sign by
the oil men in the field who anticipate
that oil production may be obtained

laid from the city limits to the Mid

STATE BONUS
DELAYED UNTIL
NEXT SUMMER
Executives Prepare Machinery
to Handle S4,500,O00
Awards to Vets.

It will probably be next summer
before the ex-service man in Mon
tana can expect to draw down any
state bonus, according to 10y j.. Mo-
lumby. state commander of the Am
eriean Legion. There are a number
of factors which enter into the delay.
Combined, they will prevent any pay
ments by the state for several
months.
AS regards those eligible to receive
a bonus from the state of Montana, d
legal residence in the state at the
time of enlistment is the sole pre-
requisite, according to Commander
Molumby. Two hundred dollars is the
maximum which any individual can
receive. Payment is to be made at
the rate of $40 a month for each
month of active duty. nor Is this ter
minated by the armistice. There are
IL. 900 men in the state considered
eligible.
File With legion
At such time as the state is able
to begin making payments the state
auditors office will issue forms which
will go to every American Legion
post in the state. All applications
for a bonus will be filed. therefore.
with the post to which a man is at
tached, or the post nearest where he
is living. 1t will be necessary tor
applicants to bring discharge papers
support of claims. 1t is not known
as yet whether any other requirements
will be demanded.
The state bonus bill had its origin in
the state American Legion bonus com
mittee, over two years ago., of which
Commander Molumby was chairman
The legislative measure itself was IN
troduced at the last session OF the
Legislature by Representative Francis
Silver of Silver Bow.
Because there is a legal limit to the
bonded Indebtedness which may be In
Cured by the state without referring
to a vote of the people. n the pro
posed bond issue was for S4,00o.ooO.
considerably in excess of the legal
limit, the measure was referred to 8
vote at the November. 1922, election
and passed by a substantial majority,
Board of Examiners
Now it will be necessary for 8
board of examiners consisting OF
Governor Joseph NJ. Dixon, Attorney
teneral Wellington u. hanau aHo
Secretary of State c. L. Stewart, to
arrange for issuing the bonds and
placing them on the market. As soon
as they are taken up in sufficient
quantities to insure the proper amour,
of cash on hand. the state will get
rapidly to the business of paying
bonuses.
1t is possible. however, that suits
to test the validity of the statute may
delay this process. Any taxpayer OF
company contemplating purchase OF
these bonds might bring such q suit.
This would be brought in a district
court and would have to go through
the state supreme court. the latter
body pronouncing the statute valid
before q bond could be put up for
sale. There is no doubt but what the
statute is valid. but it would have to
be proved so.

STEADY WHEAT
SHIPMENTS Due
UNTIL SPRING
Montana Growers Have Supply
Which Will Require Months
to Market.

Movement Of wheat from Montana is
expected by grain buyers of Great Falls
to continue until the last of May or the
first of June. making probably n Of
the longest sale seasons the state has
ever had.
Grain buyers estimate that about 40
per cent of the Montana crop, or IS
100000 bushels. remains in the state
unsold. This means at the present
prices approximately $50, 100000 yet
to come into the state to farmers and
wheat growers. 1t is expected that
this will command a good price as the
demand for quality wheat is expected
to continue. the Minneapolis market
thus far having shown an inclination to
continue to pay premiums for the Mon
tana product.
The Pacific coast is now taking but
little of the Montana wheat, its needs
having been largely realized.
The elevator situation in the state
has been greatly relieved during the
last week, with more cars being pro-
vided by the Great Northern.
During the last week, the sale Of
wheat has been brisk, with cars usually
available for immediate shipment. The
elevators are still full for the most
part, according to J. Watkins, elevator
inspector with the war finance cor
poration. The farmers are bringing
their wheat into the elevators, but few
towns have the situation of some
weeks ago when wagons of wheat were
parked in the streets about the elevator
for days at a time. Farmers are now
watching the elevators, and grain usu-
ally is not brought in except when cars
are spotted to handle the grain.
Under ordinary conditions, grain men
say, - first of the year finds virtually
all of the grain sold, with only a brief
furry of selling following the compile
ton of the spring seeding.
