ing personality Of the oil fields. NY
time being limited, as was his, and
the purpose of my call being more
or less obscure I take the liberty of
quoting from one of Mr.. S~tevenson's
official statements to his stockhoId-
ers:
THE Sunburst Oil C Gas company,
together with the holdings of Hager-
Stevenson Oil company, has by many
times the largest holdings in the
proven area of the Sunburst field
thousands upon thousands of acres of
proven oil ground, several miles wide
and several miles long, the recent
strike by the Potlatch Oil in section
1851 w. adding probably two or
three million dollars to the value Of
our holdings; remember that the de-
velopment to date is not a drop in the
bucket compared with what is now
commencing. Take your pencil and
figure the returns from 1000 wells a
couple of years hence-make your
estimate of barrels per well as low as
you like and your price per barrel
whatever you like, then figure it out
and sum up the total per year."
1000 Per Cent Dividend
The impression l got generally was
that there wasn't much left for the
fellow who got into the Kevin-Sun-
burst field at this late date. There
may be some good stock for sale at
current prices and also there is I'M
doubtedly some that will prove dis
appointing.
One quick turn was made last year.
The investors in acreage put up some
and sold a section equal to
five per cent of their holdings for
$4,000 900. A Standard Oil subsidiary
is said to have been the purchaser.
. dividend of 1000 per cent was de-
One Of the investors owed a hotel
bill of $3.50, and gave the hotel man,
at L~ewistown, Montana, a $3.50 in
terest in his holdings. Shortly after
the deal above referred to was con-
and the trusting boniface
in to the extent of $500.
Shelby itself is a hospitabIe oil
and the hotels are clean even
T a little antiquated. The manage
nent strives to please. Most of the
I'D timers are still the principal own
rs of the townsite and places of
BUSINESS. A meal, a collar or a bed

Byron COOney, runner-up Tor the
democratic nomination for on
gress in the first district, chairman
of the board of county commission
ers of Silver Bow, editor OF h
Montana American OF Butte n a
versatile writer, went to Shelby q
short time agO, and wrote his im-
pressiOns OF the northern Montana
oil metropolis from a Pullman a
window. He did the job, as he
usually does such jobs, cleverly and
interestingly, and his opinion, sum-
med up in a few words, is that an
other great natural is
about to be developed in Montana.
In part, Mr.. CoOney's story is as
follows:
Great Falls gets the back-wash of
the oil fields; it would be more COR
rect to say that it gets the main cur
rent, and is the chief expansion of
the flood Of affairs which, Northern
Montana oil exploration and develop
ment creates. You will find most of
the men prominent in the various
adjacent fields, in Great Falls. This
is not a promotion story of oil COM
panies, or of oil promoters, and any
who are mentioned will be mentioned
more or less incidentally. +
One can spend an evening talking
pleasantly about oil in both the Rain
bow and Park hotel Hobbies. |
was looking for general information
not for m~any-barrel gushers, o
stories of fabulous fortunes-which
incidentally, have yet to be made.
Having nothing to buy and nothing
to sell, I was setting rather pretty
from a reporters standpoint, and my
chances for an unbiased view were
very good.
Shelby lies about 100 miles north
ward. 1t is on the main line of the
Great Northern, and it is called Shell
by Junction, because the stub from
Great Falls to the Canada line cuts
the main stem of the Great Northern
at that point.
There are three hotels in Shelby
all crowded-the Sullivan, the Har-
rington and the Rainbow. AS a man
with an Irish name runs the Rainbow
the prospect for H%ibernian entertain-l
ment in any event looked promising.
Suit cases covered the floors of all the
hotels, but the service was courteous; !
they told you to register and they
would get you fixed up after a while. !
A train goes back to great Falls about
A pm, and this often relieves the
MONDAY congestion.

Pueblo, Colo.-"When my daughter,
now Mrs. Eva Tidmarsh, was sixteen
she suffered terribly at times as MANY
girls do, and did not feel real good
at any time. She had pimp1es all
over her body. A friend told me to
get her a bottle of DR.. Pierce's Fav-
orite Prescription, as her daughter
had taken it and had derived wonder
full relief from it. My daughter took
three bottles and now she is per-
fectly well-never has a headache or
backache. We both never forget to
recommend DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription."-Mrs. Lula Davis, l08 E.

DR.. Howe, of the Kalispell Inter

~fraternal call on Editor Cavanaugh,
of the Shelby Promoter. The min
lister was there and.he heard us talk
ing of Colonel White and asked US if
his word vas good.
Howe said he had always made
good with him, and asked the minis
ter the reason for his inquiry.
"At services this morning he rose
and offered to donate $1,000 to our
church."
Howe said that it was his judgment
hat If the Colonel made any such
an offer he would deliver.
Cayanaugh suggested that if he did
not keep his promise the church
would be no worse off than before
the offer vas made.
The minister admitted the point
but said he did not like to have any
one spool him. "And that isn't ALL"
he said. "He said he would send me
a carload of books for the new Ii
brary.."
Things began to look very serious
for the minister and we left him.

TWO CENT GAS TAX IN
EFFECT SINCE APRIL

The state tax of two cents a gall
Ion OF gasoline sales, provided by
the law passed by the last legis-
lature, went into effect April 4,
supplanting the n cent a gallon
tax which had been in effect since
January 4, 1921.
During the 81 months that the
one-cent a gallon tax was in effect
than half a million dollars
was collected by It,, of which two
thirds went into the state general
fund and one-third to county school
funds in proportion to the num-
Der Of teaching positions in the
schools Of each county.
The revenue from the new two
cent tax will go 40 per cent into
the state general fund, 20 per cent
to the state highway commission
fund and 40 per cent to the coun-
ties in equal amounts for road
maintenance.

my brother, when he died. ex-
planned the Colonel, "left quite a sum
to be donated to Methodist churches

ministrator, l purpose to help Shelby

Later on | sold the Colonel, at his
request, 1896 worth of advertising
in The Montana American for some
n%ebulous purpose; but as he was not
ready with his copy and I had to catch
the next train the deal may be said
to be in stau quo. I limited that pay
ment in advance might not be out
of order, but the Colonel waved the
suggestion aside. He invited me to
go down to Detroit with him in his
private car in a few days to visit
Henry Ford, but 1 had to get back
home.

People ask me about the business
opportunities of Shelby. That is a
hard question to answer. 1t all de-
ponds on what a mans business is
and on the man himself. 1 noticed
the town had no laundry and no I'M
dertaker. 1t may have both now.
Shortly before I came a Chinaman
was doing a thriving laundry bust
ness, but sentiment was against him.
/ was told that he was evicted, leav-
ing the city to go down to an UNI
laundried grave.
AS a sequel, the Chinaman was
a suit for damages against
erstwhile landlord. But every
little shop has hung out a sign of
laundry agency" and the depot plat
form showed many baskets of laun-
dry coming and going to- Great Falls.
My sympathy for the unfortunate cell
estial was somewhat mitigated when
was told that at his best, he turned
out poor laundry. ,

There can be little doubt now OF
the value of the milking machine anc
the Important part that 1t is playing
in the development of more profitable

ing machines are harmful to cows
that they tend to tear down the udder
and render the cows useless, has
proven TO be generally untrue.
The recent improvements that have
been made on the leading makes of
milking, machines have made it pos

sMUTTY sILAGE FED SAFELY
No Harm Follows Test Made by Ex-
pert in Feeding Tainted Material
to Holstein Heifer.

Smutty silage can be fed to live
stock with no danger of i'll conse-
quences, says T. w. Gulllchson of the
dairy husbandry division at University
farm at ST. Paul. Not so long ago
many inquiries were being received at
the dairy division headquarters re-
garding the advisability of feeding
smut-infested corn In the form of en-
silage To answer these questions au-
thoritatively Mr. Gullickson had col
lected some 800 pounds of pure corn
smut which he ran through the en-
silage cutter and put in sacks which
he placed in the silo and covered with
about ten feet of ensilage. A few
months later the corn smut In the bags
was substituted for the regular silage
ration and fed to Holsteln helfer at
the rate of IS to 80 pounds day. The
heifer was not forewarned of the alb
rupt change in her diet but took no
exceptions to the corn-smut menu, ap-
pearing in fact to relish 1t. Mr.. Gull
dickson says the feeding of the smut
was continued for three weeks, during
which the heifer remained normal in
every respect.

SUGGESTIONS ON DAIRY CALF
Great Care and Attention Is Necessary
to Raise Animal Successfully
on Skim Milk.

In dairying the farmer should
raise his own calves. Many farmers
are not successful in raising them on
skim milk. Whole milk may produce
the best calf, but not necessarily the
best COW. AS good an animal can be
produced on skim milk as can be
produced on whole milk, but greater
care and attention is required in pro-
ducing the former.
The calf should nurse its mother
for the first few days, after which it
should be removed and fed by hand.
Whole milk, warm and fresh from
the mother, should be given for ten
days or two weeks at least. Ten to
twelve pounds per day in two or three
feeds should be given at first and
the length Of time that 1t should be
continued depends upon the strength
of the calf. Ordinarily ten days to
two weeks will be required to make
the change from whole milk to skim
milk.
Gradually subst ute skim milk for
whole milk, increasing the former
until the whole milk is entirely re-
placed. This may be week, or it
may be month. Skim milk should

PUMPKIN SEEDS NUTRITIOUS
VIII Increase Kidney Secre-
tlons In Cows.

There is tradition among some
farmers that pumpkin seeds increase

and therefore should not be fed.
There Is no real foundation for such
an opinion. Pumpkin seeds are nu-
tritious and should not be wasted
There is no danger whatsoever in feed
Ing them to dairy cows.
