Coming

Charles Chaplin's first big feature
production since "The Kid" will be
the on-extraordinary on the
screen at the Caughren Theatre next

Charlie has the role of a fugitive
from justice who appropriates a
minister's raiment and, on looming
it, is not only pursued by an clipping
couple who desire to be married but
is also forced to take charge of a
church.
A splendid cast supports Chaplin
whose leading lady is again Edna
purviance. Sydney Chaplin, Mack
Swain and others who have appeared
with the comedian in past screen
triumphs also appear.
''The Pilgrim" was written and di-
rected by Charles as First National

PERSONS charging more than SIS
for preparing papers necessary to OBJ
tain a loan are asking exorbitant
rates, according to Mr.. Oppliger.
Plans of the Bureau call for getting
the money from the Bureau to the
borrower by the shortest possible
route and at as small cost as posi-
BILE. Borrowers will not be required
to buy stock in any association or to
spend any of his loan for any pur-
pose other than his own needs, eX-

will not exceed SIS, and should be
less in most cases.

Preserve DecayInq Sandstone.

To preserve decaying sandstone
against decay, two methods have been
suggested that have proved effective.
If a piece of rotten sandstone is
treated with certain chemical COM
pounds of alcohol and silica and then
exposed to moist air, the silica is de-
posted and forms a protective &C.
ment coating. Lime wash has also
been found very effective for the same
purpose.-Popular Mechanics Maya

SeewaId Soon to Work

Chris Seewald arrived in Kevin
yesterday with his grader and
road crew and now has the en-
gine in the Kevin machine shop
having some work done. AS soon
as repairs are made Mr.. Seewald
will start work grading the
streets Of Kevin. We are inform

help get our streets in shape so
that we will not be ashamed of
them when we are visited by
new comers, such as the case is

Bill Thomas Has Record

About the most speed that is being
made in the field these days is being
made by w. E. Thomas, drilling the
Queen City well. Bill spudded this
we'll in week ago last Saturday and
today, wednesday, they have made
100 feet of hole. 1t IS expected that
this well will be completed by next
week. Harry E. Swartz has the con-
tract for the well, OF which the head
driller, w. L. Thomas, is an asso-
ciate. Bill has the reputation of be-
ing one of the best drif1ers that has
ever hit this neck of the woods, and
he says that he is going to prove if
by the time that he completes this
well.

P. W. Dueck Name Of
New Drilling Concern

P. w. Dueck, ct al, a Spokane
concern arrived in Kevin a few
days ago with a complete drilling
outfit and this week are rigging
up on their location on nw4 net,
36-35-3 west. This is a direct off
set to the northwest of the Black
Raven Oil company well, which
is only a short ways from the city
and will be watched with inter-
est by Kevin people.
Dueck-Nicholson hold consider
able acreage in this section, and
the people are very optismistic
and think that beyond doubt
they will get production. Several
other locations are spotted in
this vicinity.

Adams Will Refine
His Own Crude

Announcement that the Adams
Anderson Investment company
plans to build refinery in the
Twin Cities to handle its produc-
ton in the Kevin field is made
by J. H. Adams, president of the
company.
The Adams-McManus No. l in
section 1882 W one of their
latest completions is flowing at
the rate Of so barrels per hour,
which indicates that this will be
at least a 1900 barrel we'll. This
we'll is located in the south-cen-
tral part of the field, less than 6
miles from Kevin, which indi-
Gates that a nice pool lays at this
location and some real producers
are looked for.
Operators in the field recognize
the Adams completion as an i'm
portant one, with the probability
that the Halter lease will yield
some large wells.
The Adams-Anderson Invest
ment company has completed six
wells in the field and arrange
ments are being made to market
the crude in St. Paul and Min
by building a small re-
inery at that place.

Gasoline Price
Stabilized in
Western Area
Twenty-Five to TWenty-Six
Cent Quotation Fixed In
Majority Of Districts

The gasoline market FOR the
mountain district and especially
Montana, Idaho and the Dakotas,
has demonstrated that it will be
far more stable at least during
the present conditions of the oil
market than almost any other
part of the United States, accord
ing to dealers in oil products.
The gasoline market in Mon
sana is somewhat isolated due to
the heavy freight rates into the
district from outside refineries,
while Montana refineriss are still
in their infancy and are not yet
a governing factor in the market.
High freight rates, higher
labor costs and lower capacity
on the market all makes the Mon
tana district less susceptible to
the fluctuations Of the gasoline
market due to low crude prices.
This has been shown in the
fact that the Montana gasoline
prices have remained at approx
mately 26 and Is cents for the
last year. 1t is probable, say
marketeersof petroleum products
that the price will remain at
about the same level. In centers
more closely connected with
large refineries, both independent
and Standard. price wars have
resulted from the tumble in the
market which has led to slashes
in the price of gasoline. These,
are in the center of
1ensely populated markets and
the cut in prices have been less
disastrous to the refneries than
IN the case such as Montana,
where the population is less
lense and the cost of production
, f more limited quantities f
yasoline necessarily greater.

Campbell Has
Purchased Site
For His Refinery

Gordon Campbell, who recently
returned from a trip to the coast
announces that he has purchased
a site for the refinery he intends
erecting near Shelby. The site
is 40-acre plot just east of Shell
by. Mr.. Campbell states that
the Campbell interests will open
offices in Shelby in the near fut-
ure for the purpose Of directing
work upon the new refinery,
which is to be started at once.
The plant will consist of 1000
barrel per day refinery, with
units to be added, says Camp
bell, and the plant will be up-to
date in every particular.

Med onaI Well Comes
In for 1000 Barrels

One Of the biggest wells in the Ke-
vim field was brought in late last on
Monday afternoon by D. A. Mcdonald
in the Sweet rass-McDonald we'll
No. 2, in SWANEA SEA 4-34-2 west,
With the the drill barely penetrating
the sand the oil rose in the casing
300 feet within 20 minutes. Drilling
was stopped at once and nothing was
done until Wednesday. Wednesday
morning the well broke out as a
gusher and was going over the top in
heads, clearing the crown block eight
times in 20 minutes, and being esti-
mated at LOO barrels or better by j.
E. foreman, geologist of the company
The coming in has caused much ex-
citement here and oil operators are
much interested because of the show
ing.
The sand, in the Ellis formation
was struck with an 8-inch hole, the
casing being 200 feet above the bit.
A string Of 6-inch casing will be run
at once and packer set TO rest the
smaller string on. The well will then
be drilled into the sand as far as ad-
visable. and placed on the pump. The
we'll was located by j. E. foreman,
field manager and geologist for the
who will have charge of it
The drilling was done
under contract by S.. G, Ferdig, Who'll
has drilled drilled in the Wyoming
fields for some years.

"Rusty' Has Lucky Day

Besides the arrival of fine boy at
his home Thursday of last week,
"Rusty" Herd also brought in fine
well for the Mutual Oil company on
their holdings in 1852, what is
known as the Mutual -Helmerich No.
8. The sand was reached at depth
of 1445 feet and the driller, Rusty
Herd, informs us that it will be one
of the best producers in the field.
The well was shot Monday and it is
not yet known what the production
will be until the well is cleaned out.
