ATTACKS
ON i. S. HISTORIES
Teachers Association Takes
Action on Criticisms of
School Text Books.

Attacks on Muzzey's and other
American history text books were de-
plored by the Association Of History
Teachers of the Middle States and
Maryland in resolution adopted
unanimously at its recent annual
meeting in New York. The associa-
ton is composed OF the leading
teachers and professors of history in
the public high schools. private
schools and colleges in the middle
states and Maryland.
The resolution. introduced by DR..
James Sullivan, ex-president. pointed
out that the agitation against the
history text books has In many cases
been largely carried on by persons
little conversant with the funda
mental sources Of American history,
who have garbled the wording and
intention of certain history text books
SO as to make them appear unpa-
trlolc. IT further declared that the
association feels the object Of the
teaching OF history is to give the
truthful picture OF the past with due
regard to the age OF the pupils for
whom the work is intended: that the
truth should not he distorted for any
purpose whatsoever. and that bo: h
sides or rontror sal question
should be adequtely pr scented from
an academic point of ,!"w. sc that
students of history shall re trained

The fate Of MuZZey's history in the

USE OIL BURNERS
WEST OF HAVRE
THAT is PLAN OF GREAT NOR
THERN; CHANGE WILL BE
MADE SHORTLY.
Thirty New Engines Are Expected to
Be Delivered About Jan. Il; Are
Veritable Monsters, Measuring 100
feet A inches.

That oil burning locomotives will
be used by the Great Northern rail
way between Cut Bank and Havre,
the farthest point east the road has
ever installed an oil terminal, is the
statement of w. R. Smith, general
superintendent of the central district.
Necessary construction work at Havre
will be begun at once, and the change
in hauling power made within a short
time.
Installation of oil burners between
Cut Bank and Havre will be a con-
tinuation of the change made last
summer when engines of hat type
were put into use between Spokane
and Cut Bank. The forthcoming ex-
tension does not include any portion
of the Butte division. While this
move means a slightly increased de-
mand for fuel oil, Montana fields Will
not be affected, as the Great Nor
thern, according to Superintendent
SmlLH, purchases It's Oil OA IhO So"Ss'
ships it to the various supply sta
lions and there stores it in tanks un-
til used. The change also means but
a slight decrease in the demand for
Montana coal.
Six oil burners will be used be-
tween Cut Bank and Havre, but the
purchase of new locomotives will not
be necessary, as engines from west
ern divisions will be sent there until
old coal burners a be remodeled.
Delivery of the 80 new oil burners
ordered by the Great Northern some
time ago is expected to begin about
January l.. These engines are verita-
BILE monsters, measuring 100 feet 4
1-S inches from coupler to coupler,
and are called "two-ten-twos."

named Percy Pluid, by whom she
was employed.
She then moved on to Eureka
where the Brooks canlon fire
mysteriously occurred. Her next
move was to Camas Hot Springs,
where a fire occurred in the hotel
in which she was living. but which
she denies. She afterwards went
to Whitefish, where she was en-
ployed as housekeeper in the earn
sey home. There a series of eight
or ten fires broke out, but all of
them were extinguished, the last
one proving her undoing, as it gave
sufficient evidence to cause her ar
rest. The fire marshal has infor-
nation that she was in Thompson
Falls prior to going to Jennings,
and during her residence there sew
eral disastrous fires occurred, but
she denies them all, and there is no
way to connect her with them.
FEATURES
A peculiar circumstance is that
she will confess to small fires, but
strenuously denies responsibility
for large ones, and also made if
a point to impress upon officials
that she had never started a fire
which resulted in loss of life.
A peculiar feature of the case, ac-
cording to the fire marshal, is that
the woman's mania for burning is
spasmodic, and also that she pre-
fers to start a fire in the afternoon,
although she cannot explain this
preference. Also she usually has
no motive, although in some few
instances it has been found that she
has endeavored to create trouble
for someone by starting a fire and
trying to throw suspicion on the
subject of her animus.
At the time of her arrest she
gave her name as May Sheriff., but
it is thought that her true name is
Stevenson, as it has been found
that since Sheriff. divorced her she
was married to a man named An
drew Stevenson at Hamilton, al
officials admit that she
may have had other matrimonial
adventures since.
Fire Marshal Brooks says it is
impossible to estimate the total fire
.oss caused by the woman, but be-
ieves that at the least considera-
ion it will run into hundreds of
thousands of dollars.

ART SEllERY, OHIO HEAD,
PREDICTS MUCH ACTIVITY
DON STATE OIL DEVELOPMENT

Events in the northern Montana OF
fields are rapidly shaping themselves
for a period of expansion and deyel-
opment of greater extent than has
been predicted by the districts most
enthusiastic optimists. Prediction
to that effect is being made in Great
Falls every day by oil men who are
thoroughly conversant with the field
and who foresee for the coming
spring the beginning of a develop
ment program that will during the
next year advance northern Montana
to a place among the country's most
important oil producing areas.
California Peak Passed.
Operations in the Kevin-Sunburst
district showed a pronounced falling
off, as elsewhere, last summer and
fall as a result of surplus production
in California, but the time now has
arrived when most oil men agree
that the California peak has been
passed and that the improvement pre-
dicted for that last so days is APP
preaching the point of realization.
The first advance in crude oil
prices has yet to be announced, but
oil mems opinions agree that a
price can reasonably be ex-
pected by the first of the year and
that by early spring the upward
.rend of values will be very pro-
bounced. An advance of 10 cents in
.wo Wyoming fields was announced
'ecently, but Great Falls operators
declared that this had no bearing on
he oil situation. The advance, they
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1923-12-06

stated, was but an adjustment o.
prices between Wyoming fields and
does not reflect any change in the
crude oil market.
Increase in Activities.
A. M. Sellery, land man for the
Ohio Oil Company, said while in
Great Falls, the arrival of spring in
evitably would see a tremendous in
crease in activities in northern Mon
tana. The state has not yet come to
realize, he declared, the Importance
of the Kevin-Sunburst district, but
that with the momentum bound to
come with the opening of the next
working season, the field will attract
more attention than on former years.
1.-THE offsets that will necessarily
be drilled next year would alone be
sufficient to make a very active sea-
son in the northern Montana field"
said Mr.. Sellery, "but with the i'm
provement in the market that GER
tainly will come, there will be add
ed to work of this kind a large
amount of new development. Just
how much new work will be launched
next spring would be impossible to
forecast now, but there is evidence
enough that the next year will see
former development activities fully
restored and very probably enlarged
upon. This is a conservative state
nent in view of what appears to be
Mr.. Sellery will leave for Helena
ind from there will go to Missoula
Ind Billings. He expects to return

not in excess of 5 per cent. of the
total fund delivered to them by my
executor.

said trustees full power of appoint

them had been specifically desig-
mated herein"
Provision was also made for Gre

largest amount ever given to char
