OIL COMPANY WILL
MANY NEW WELLS

Announcement of a large NUMBER
of new oil we'll locations, marking the
first step in the energetic campaign
OF the Ohio Oil company to boost It's
production in the Kevin-Sunburst
field to 5000 barrels a day, is ex-
pected soon.
1t is believed that the Ohio will
close a contract with the Imperial Oil
company to supply the Imperial re-
finery at Regina. Crude for this re-
finery Is now being hauled from wy
oming, through the Kevin-Sunburst
field, the Imperial paying a much
higher price for crude of no better
grade than the Sunburst oil. 1t is
believed certain that as DON as the
Montana field produces 5000 barrels
a day that Sunburst crude will re-
place the Wyoming crude, since at
present prices the Imperial will effect
big economy in displacing the ex-
pensive Wyoming production.
Construction of a pipe line from
the Sunburst tank farm to the border
by the Illinois Pipe Line company,
now in progress, is taken by many
an indication that the Ohio has
already closed a contract with the
Imperial. In any case it is believed
certain that the Ohio is going after
production with great energy as soon
possible, drilling out proven acre
age.

1t is probable that General Denver
knew of the founding of the town
of Montana west of the future city
of Denver in the fall of 1853 or of
the Incorporation of the Montana
Town company in the following year.
The settlement, which was founded
by a score of miners from Lawrence,
Kansas, had only a brief existence as
gold in paying quantities was not
found in its neighborhood. Several
of it's inhabitants moved to the town
of Auraria, on the site of the present
West Denver.

In a letter to Wilbur Edgerto1
Sanders, son of Montana's first sena-
tor, F. M. Clavenger, who had. been
private secretary to Governor Den
yer, told of the meeting between the
two men at which the question of an
appropriate territorial name was dis
cussed.
In this letter, dated March IA,
1905, Clavenger says:
Sometime during the %fifties, Ste
phen A. Douglas, who was in the SEN
ate, invited General Denver to call
at his house, the two being fast
friends. Denver responded to the in
vitation and was ushered into Doug
las library. The senator said, Den

airy government for the territory OF
Montana. This bill, after being re-
ferred back to the committee on ter
ritories, was placed before the house
for action on March IL, 1854, and
was generally discussed.
Mr.. Cox democrat, of Ohio) de-
sired to say that he did not like the
proposed nam of the new territory.

ish, French or English"
Mr.. Ashley (republican): 1T is a

Mr.. Cox: II suggest an Indian
name-Shoshone-if my colleague

means"
Mr.. Bennett (Colo.): 1T means

Mr. Cox: Il understand that the
legislature has asked that the new

Frederick Douglass was a noted ne
gro orator, who had labored, after
obtaining his own freedom, in the
abolition cause.
Some opposition was encountered
n the senate also over the proposed
name, but the bill was ultimately
passed and was signed by the presi-
lent on May &c, 1854.

CHRISTENING OF MONTANA;
JEFFERSON, SH0sH0ME AND
COLORADO Were SUGGESTED

The name Montana" went beg
ging before congress made it the des-
ignation of the territory that was to
become the Treasure state. 1t was
considered and rejected as a name
for both Colorado and Wyoming.
Yet, in the form of Montana del
Norte"-Montana of the North-this
was the name given by the Spanish
explorers to the entire mountainous
country of the west. 1t had already
acquired a place in history as the
name of the first townsite incorpor-
ated in Colorado, and it was familiar
to a few persons in Bannack as the
name of a little girl, born at Golden
Gate, Colorado, who arrived with
her parents in the Montana mining
town On April %, 1868. This won

PUBLIC DANCING
MEASURE WOULD REQUIRE OF

Both Public and Private; Cheek to

which is being drawn by the house

which is expected to be introduced

The provision of the measure
which would put an end to dancing by

where a dance is being conducted,

Chaperones are required for both
boys and girls who had not reached
the age of 1S, provision being made
that they must be accompanied by
either mother or father, or if an or

ian. Slight leeway is given, however,
in the case of such children who are
attending school, in the provision
that they may be accompanied by the
principal of such school or by any
adult designated by such person for
that purpose.
The committee on public morals
evidently does not place entire con-
fidence In chaperones, as seen in the
clause which says such persons must
remain during the entire time of the
dance and accompany their charge
home afterward.
Girls or women will no longer be
forced to go alone to dances if the
bill becomes a law, but may COM
mandeer the services of the nearest
policeman as an escort. At least, the
bill says that they may be accompan-

the cop is not called upon to make
any sacrifices in acting as such pro-
%tector, provision being made that he
shall be paid for his services by the
person making the request.
