Gibbons Becomes
More Serious as
Bout Draws Near
Believes His Sporring Partners
Feel the Echo Of His
Serious Attitude

Shelby. June %. AS the day
OF his achievement draws closer.
as Tom Gibbons sincerely be-
lleves. his sparring partners feel
the echo of his serious attitude.
On Wednesday, July 4, one Of
the cleverest boxers that ever
stuck his paw into one of Sol
Levinson's specials, meets the
champion, Jack Dempsey, for the
fistic crown of the world.
The good natured banter that
has featured Gibbons work thus
far is gone. In place of the hap
py, smiling boy who forgot to
grow up, there is the serious
faced man who has a task ahead
and is bent on completing it.
His sparring partners to date
have had a comparatively easy
time of it. Gibbons does not be-
lieve in trying to murder his
helpmates while preparing for q
fight but the last few davs he
has been pumping home some
wicked wallops, and their effects
are beginning to show on his
helpers. Even Jimmy Delaney,
a close friend of Toms and his
regular boxing partner. when
Tom is training back in st. Paul,
has not been excluded from the
hard punching.
Bud German, the big heavy
weight, of course carries the
brunt but he does not complain.
He says he is willing to take ev-
if it will result in win
for Tom.
It's all business for Tom now.
He can't hold back his punching
any longer. If he hopes to knock
1ut Dempsey, he must try his
pet punches on others, and the
sparring partners are the victims.
They may be nursing sore Jaws
and bodies by July 4. but if they
IAN sit out there in the sun and
zee their boss annihilate man
Killer Jack, they will forget it all
n q smile of satisfaction.

Final Shelby Bout
Payment Plan Finished

Shelby, June 26. Belief was
current in Shelby Tuesday night
that an announcement would be
made Wednesday relative to pay
ment of the 100000 due JacA
Dempsey on July 2 as the fina
installment of the purse giver
him for his scheduled bout here
July 4 with Tommy Gibbons. The
report that such an announce.
ment probably would be made
became circulated in Shelby after
a conference between G. H. Stan
ton, president of the Stanton
Trust & Savings bank of Great
Falls, and Dan Tracy and other
men associated with the promo
tiOn.
Mr.. Stanton made no definite
statement after the conference,
but said he believed the matter
would be taken care of Wednes-
day and that any announcement
would be made in Great Falls.
It is considered here that the
only thing that can possibly save
the gate will be the announce
ment that the third 100000 has
been paid to Jack Kearns, Demp-
sey's manager, Opinions e
freely expressed that this must
be paid or made available within
the next 48 hours in order to in
sure a large attendance from dis
tant points. Adverse publicity
in connection with meeting the
payments due Dempsey has Gre
ated q doubt in the minds Of ma
ny fans and their interest in the
fight can only be revived by an
that all financial
obligations have been settled.
Such an announcement would
guarantee q large attendance.

Howling No. 3 Well
Is the Largest Yet

The Mid-Northern- n-Howling No
3, which came in nearly three
weeks since as one of the largest
wells in the field, shooting over
the top as a real gusher, is the
largest we'll in the Kevin field,
on test. The we'll is on the west
half Of 1852 west, being the
lease of John Dawson of Great
Falls and Geo. Merkle of Belt.
On test the we'll flowed three
tanks in three hours, or at a rate
OF 1900 barrels per day, and
later tested 1850 in 20 hours. The
well is rated at 5000 barrels per
day settled production.

Hv|and Made
Gladys Belle
Vice President
Has Been Director in Charge
Of Great Falls Office for
Several Months

Edwin F. Hyland, director and
for several months in charge Of
the Great Falls offices of the
Gladys Belle Oil and Refining
company Of Montana. was elect
ed vice president Of the company
to succeed ]. S. Simmons, at the
meeting of the board of directors
Wednesday.
Mr.. Simmons resigned his po-
sition as vice president, due to
his midcontinent interests, where
he is in charge Of the Lawton Of
fees of the Gladys Belle Of Okla
homa, parent company of the
Montana corporation.
Mr.. Hyland's duties in connec-
tion with the company will be
much the same as formerly. al
though the action of the board of
directors was taken to mean that
he will have more authority in
the Great Falls office and may
mean added activity on the part
Of the western company.
The directors approved the ac-
ton of officials of the company
in ordering drilling continued on
the gasser north of the Sweet
Grass Hills. Report of officers
Of the company to the directors
was that the drillers are prepar-
ing to straightream to carry g.
inch casing through the"gas sand.
A sand which showed oil in pre-
yious wells will be encountered
within the next 100 feet and Of
fcers of the company saw the
possibility that this might give
production in this well.
A. M. Arnold was named as
sistant secretary and treasurer
under C. B. Coons, of Tulsa, who
rretains the secretaryship. This
was another move to center di-
rection of the company in its
Montana Offices.

The mutual Oil company is sale
to be planning pipe line. with

though the Mutual has put in {

Plpe Line company tanks south

have not fully matured.
Gordon Campbell has announc.
ed that he will build pipe line
to Kevin, planning on loading his
production at Kevin, for ship
ment to Seattle where he is finan-
cling the construction of refn-
cry.
That the California company
will eventually build a pipe line
is considered probable, since this
company contemplates construc-
tion of its own refneries in Spo-
kane. Inasmuch as the Califor-
MIA company has established Ke-
vim as its unloading point, Kevin
people believe that the California
company will choose Kevin as it's
pipe line terminus rather than
Shelby.
Completion of the Black Raven
well, known as the Snyder-Jen-
sen, in 36-35-2 W, across the lake
bed from the town of Kevin,
makes it possible that Kelvin will
some day enjoy town lot drilling.
There is now a general belief
that the district south of Kevin
will produce. The California
test south and west of Kelvin,
near the old Miller we'll location,
will be watched with much int

Predictions Of Eight
Years Ago Now True

Montana's largest oil we'll was
brought in at the close of May
in the Kevin field north of Shell
by.
When it reached depth of
,653 feet, the last eleven feet in
the sand, it began spouting =
flood of oil at the rate of 3,100
barrels a day. This production
continued steadily until con-
troll head was procured several
hours later and the flow brought
under control.
The best well in the field prior
to this one had an initial produc-
tion Of 1855 barrels.
If any further proof was re-
quired to establish tho fact that
there is oil in this part of the
state, this well furnishes it.
Many persons screwed their
faces into contemptuous smiles
eight years ago when this news
paper was the first to present
arguments in favor of the prop
osition that there is oil in the
area from Great Falls to tho
Canadian border, directly east Of
the Rocky Mountains.
Now the smile is of q different

LOOKING BETTER

From a practical view, Kevir
is beginning to look better each
day. With the coming in each
week Of good wells near the city
leads US to believe that Kevin
will be the only good town along
the line. This week work is pro-
crossing on the new depot that
the Great Northern Railroad is
installing, which will mean a
great deal to the coming oil city
in appearance as we'll as to &C.
commodate the many oil operat-
ors that are working out of here.
The California company are pro-
crossing nicely with their load
ing platform that is being erect
ed and in a few more days will
be ready for service. No doubt,
the California company will fol-
low this with loading racks and
pipe lines. There is talk of sew
eral big oil companies establish
ing warehouses here, and this
will bring on more enterprises to
the city.
The Black Raven Oil company,
which brought in their well only
a few feet from the door of Ke-
vim a few weeks ago, is being
hitnhed up to the pump this week
which will look good to the many
fortune hunters that arrive in
the center of the field each week
looking for acreage.
Every day the owners of the
Townsite are receiving letters
and opportunities to drill right
in the heart of the city. but as
yet none have been accepted as

A. Goeddertz. Jr.. announces thai
he is going to be sure of his bel
before he signs a contract. He
states that he wants reliable
company to drill. one that is sure
to be able to complete the vel
before he will agree to turn the
acreage.
But after all Kevin is going to
be the real town, as it is right in
the center of the field wells are
being drilled all around us, north,
east, south and west, and it
would be an impossibility for the
companies to avoid passing thru
the town in order to load the oil,
and every broad minded person
will agree that these companies
that are operating here are not
going to pass us up either for
Shelby or Sunburst.
To show what big things are
in store for us, we reproduce the
clipping taken from the last issue
Of the Montana Oil Journal. The
article follows.
"A decided revival for the town
of Keyin is promised by pending
events in the Kevin field, the lit
tie west-end town haying taken
on new life since the decision of
the California company to estab-
lish its warehouses and unload

ton Of two and possibly three

templated. The AFRO Oil & Re
fining company of Lewistown is
said to be planning a pipe line to

Upward Jump Of Oil
Operations in Sunburst
End Of Sweefgrass Arch

Sunburst. Despite the strike
of sulphur water in the Sunburs
Pool we'll at depth of 1920 feet
operations in the northern enc
of the Sweet Grass arch, north
of Sunbursi, have taken an up
ward jump in the last 10 days.
Three new rigs are now drill
ing opposite the town Of Sweet
Grass, on the Canadian side of
the line, the Griffith and Spartan
wells north of Sunburst are GO
ing down rapidly, and the Mid
Northern has started prepara-
tions to drill on a tract near the
Imperial well, now being tested
for production.
The Sumburst Pool we'll, drill
ed in the city limits of Sunburst
found thst the Sunburst sand
was totally pinched out at this
location. Passing through tn e
Kootenai and failing to find a
sand led the drillers to believe
that the well was very low on
structure and that the Sunburst
oil sand would be struck at a
depth of about 1900 feet. When
this depth had been reached
hard formation was struck, but
no sand. The bit at depth of
1890 feet passed through 80 feet
of Ellis sand, at the base of
which a flow of sulphur water
was struck. Drilling was con-
tinued and the bit went into the
Madison limestone, without
showing of oil. Casing is now
being pulled, and the we'll will
be abandoned.
The conditions found at this
we'll are similar to those 1t the
Bitter Creek we'll, about mile
and a half away.
The Spartan we'll, in section
28-37-3 W, is expected to COM
plete within ten days o. two
weeks. A string o f inch
casing has been set at l 1,120 feet,
and under-reaming is now going
forward preparatory to running
l0-inch at 1000 feet, at which
depth caving formation was
encountered.

'7-3 W, is now down 1900 feet |
and is running a string of 10-inch

MEN IN PREHISTORIC TIMES
No Proof That There Was Gradual
Rise From savagery to Prao-
tice Of Human Virtues.

1t 10 proved that men-true men
existed on this earth many thousand
years ago. How many no one call
certainly say, but certainly longer than
the period accepted as a strict dogma
by Bible Christians within living mem
DRY (and still affirmed by some Of
them). 1t is not proved, but 1t is high
ly probable that there is genetic con-
nection between man as we know him
and the earlier inferior types Of which
evidence remains.
II critic were to maintain that man
as we know him rose suddenly from
some other type not yet found (for the
evidence Is very fragmentary and
slight, he would not be contradict
Ing ascertained fact; on the contrary,
he has on his side the anomaly Of fine
skulls found In apparently very early
strata; all that department is quite
unfxed.
That man as we know him was
vile thing for countless generations and
gradually-very gradually-rose to
practice the human virtues and intel
ligence Is not proved at all. Even the
vague analogy from existing savages
fails. Some savages are Of one char
acter, some Of another; all as old in
descent as ourselves. The excessive
evil affirmed Of true man when first he
could be so called Is sheer unsup-
ported affirmation proceeding not from
evldence-for we have none-but from
a mood desire that things should be
so.-Yale Review.

To stop Bleeding From Nose

When we remember that not very
long ago venesectiOn, or bleeding by
the physician, was a favorite method
of treatment and that leeches were
used for local bleeding, we can the
more readily understand that sim
Pile attack Of nosebleed is nothing to
be afraid Of At the same time, how
ever, it may be well to commit to
memory few simple precautions. The
patient should always sit upright and
should hold the chin down to enable
the blood to flow forward through the
nose and not backward into the
throat. Tight collars and bands round
the neck should be loosened, and cold
should be applied to the wrists or to
the back Of the neck. 1t often helps to
SNUFF cold water up the nose. If the
bleeding comes from a small spot in
side the nose, the spot should be
treated with an astringent or with nj
trate of silver-Youth's Companion.

PEAK NAMED FOR INDIAN GIRL
Honor Awarded for Valuable Services
Rendered to Expedition Led by
Lewis and Clark.

Sacajawea, which In the Indian
tongue means BIRD Woman" was
born in a little Indian village on the
banks Of Snake river, just west Of the
Bitter Root mountains, In what Is now
the state of Idaho, in 1870.
When Sacajawea was nine years Of
age, her people, the Shoshones, or
Snake River Indians, were suddenly
attacked by their foes, the Minnata-
rees Of Knife river While SAGA
jawea was making her way alone
across the river she was caught and
taken prisoner Later she was sold
as a slave to Toussaint Chaboneau,
a French half-breed wanderer, at
Brunswick, N. D. He married her
when she was fourteen years old.
Sacajawea and her husband. and
their papoose accompanied a party of
white explorers, led by Lewis and
Clark, on long Journey.
One day the Indian girl risked her
own life to save some valuable papers,
maps, instruments, books, magazines
and medicine, when their boat nearly
capsized. SacaJawea swan out and
brought the articles back to the boat
In safety.
When the travellers reached the land
Of SacaJawea's birth her presence
saved the white men from being
killed by the hostile Indians. SAGA
Jawea also foiled a plot to steal all
Of the horses Of the expedition by
warning the leaders of the plans Of
the Snake River tribe.

survey named for Sacajawea the
great peak in the Bndger range,
where she was captured during her
childhood, and where she later point
ed out the pass over the mountain
now used by one of the great rail-
ways.

REFUSE TO REVEAL NAMES
Odd Superstition That Prevails Among
Certain island Tribes Of Arneri-
can lndlans.

Writing Of tabooed words In The
Golden Bough," Sir J. G. Frazer says /:
"The Indians Of Ohiloe keep their
names secret and do not like to have
them uttered aloud; for they say that
there are fairies or imps on the main
land or neighborlng islands who, If
they knew folks names, would do
them an injury but so long as they
do not know the names these mis-
chievous sprites are powerless.
THE Araucanians will hardly ever
tell a stranger their names, because
they fear that he would thereby ac-
quire some supernatural power over
themselves. Asked his name by a
stranger who Is ignorant Of their su-
perstitions, an Araucanian will an
swer, L have none
when an Ojibway is asked his
name he will look at some bystander
and ask him to answer"
"Surel Even the apaches Of the
rogues' gallery know the evil omen Of
the real name. Hence the origin and
would-be magic of the "alias."
