TRIP TO kEvIN OIL FIELD

Ben NJ Larson returned home Sat
urday from a weeks trip to Havre,
Inverness, Shelby and the Kevin oil
fleld. 1t was the writer's first trip to
an oil field and must say we found it
very interesting to watch the various
operations of drilling oil wells. There
are now over one hundred drilling
outfits at work in the Kevin field,
scattered over an area of four or five
townships Up to the present time.
there is over forty producers ranging
all the way from thirty to seven hun
dred fifty barrels per day. A few
gushers have been struck out there.
and Judging by the way the derricks
OF these wells were soaked with oil
from top to bottom of the derrick,
there is no question but what they
were gushefs and with lots of force
behind them. Most of the producing
wells out there are good for one and
TWO hundred barrels per day. A visit
to the towns of Shelby and Sunburst
sclearly demonstrated what the dis
coyery of oil means to a town. There
was real life and lots of activity, an
enormous lot of building and develop
ment of all kinds going on. Both
places were crowded with people seek
ing employment, sight-seers and men
looking for locations to enter busi-
ness. Main street of Shelby in par
ticular already needs traffic COPS.
Most of the buildings being erected
are what's termed shacks, although
at Shelby a number of mighty fine,
substantial brick buildings are being
erected We have been asked since
our return by many if it's a good place
to go and get job. That's mighty
hard thing to answer. One might get
job immediately and then again not
land any work for several weeks. At
present time building contractors re-
ported that dozens of men were look
ing for work every day,

DIscoNTINUEs BUSINESS

Peter Rorvik, the pioneer merchant
of Circle, has decided to discontinue
his grocery business at this place,
closing up the place last Saturday
evening after having disposed of all
stock that he had on hand.
Mr.. Rorvik announces that he will
spend some time looking around, but
that there is a possibility that he may
again engage in business here.
1t is with genuine regret that the
many friends of Mr. Rorvik see him
leave, and hope that after looking
around, as he says, we will find him
back in our midst at Circle.
Senator Rorvik has always proven
himself to be good hearted old scout,
and is citizen whose departure is
a loss to the community. We venture
to say that no man in the county has
more friends than Peter Rorvik.
Good luck to you wherever you may
decide to make your future home, is
the wish of your many McCone County
friends.

TWO PRAIRIE FIRES

Two prairie fires are reported the
past week. One was started by some
freighters who had stopped for din
ner, just east of the Mason Knapp
farm. After the freighters had left, it
broke out and burned over a section
of range to the east before it was
finally stopped at the Powder River
trail. The farmers of the community
had all they could do to save the hay
stacks sga, the AYoedley farm.
Saturday morning another fire
broke out near the Chas. Mccormick
farm south of town while burning
thistles. That fire travelled south to
Tussler Greek a distance of probably
six miles before it was finally stopped
by residents of the community. Sew
eral farmers including Henry Rathje,
Rudolph Heide and Carl johnson had
narrow escapes from losing their
buildings.

Three Couple Get
Married
Dan Cupid Has Big Spring Rush.
Three Couple Decide to Try
"DoubIe Harness"

Spring is here and Dan Cupid S bus
mess is starting off with rush. Al
ready three weddings have taken
place, with more victims for his pierc-
ing arrow in sight.
Announcement was received Mon
day of the happy marriage on Thurs
day April 18th at Glendive of Miss
Cecile A. Warnke of Bloomfield to
Mr.. John Francis Geisen of Weldon.
The bride is a sister of Mrs. Ray Cot
ton of Cow Creek and Geo. Warnke
formerly Of Loss Greek, and well
known by many hereabouts. The
groom is a well known, hustling young
farmer of the Weldon community who
now has forsaken the Royal Order
OF Weldon Bachelors.
This one was real surprise though
Last Friday it was whispered around
that Miss Grace Childress, a student in
the local High School, and Henry
L. Evans, had taken a little sojourn
down to Glendive in Hanks jitney,
accompanied by Mrs. Childress and
Matte Childress. Something sure
goin to happen, was the prediction,
and the prediction was right, because
on Sunday the newly weds returned
from Glendive and upon their arrival
Hank surprised his friends by saying
meet my wife" and buying the ci-
gars. The wedding took place at Wi
baux Saturday at 4:3O P. NJ, Rev.
Calvert, pastor of the M. E. church
at that place, tying the knot. The
young couple are both well and fav-
orably known here and will start up
housekeeping Immediately on the
Myers farm west of Circle, which Mr..
Evans has leased and will farm this
year.
Another wedding of interest to
many local people is that of Miss
Flossie Fountain and Mr.. M. e. How
ard. This happy couple were married
at Wolf Point one day last week, and
have started up housekeeping on the
groom's homestead in the Hamblin
community. The bride is daughter
of Mrs. Isabella Fountain, Old-time
resident of the Lost creek conmun-
ity.
To all three couple the Banner joins
in wishing much happiness and joy.

Have Started Work
Forsyth
Purchase Lumber for Camp Buildings
On First 80 Miles of Branch
Line

Forsyth, Mont-The arrival here of
a crew OF carpenters, the purchase of
a carload of lumber from the Forsyth
Lumber company and its transfer
from the city to a point at ArmelPs
creek, about six miles west of For
syth, near Rea, was the first hint
that local residents had that the con-
tract for building 30-mile branch by
the Northern Pacific to the Rosebud
coal field had been let.
Winston Brothers of St. Paul have
been given the contract for building
the branch which, it has been an
'nounced, will entail an outlay of about
$2,000,000. The lumber purchased and
started out on the right-of-way will be
used for building at the first constuc-
tion camp, where the branch leaves
The main line.
The new road viii run south for
about 20 miles and then southeast for
about 10 miles to Castle Rock, where
vast strip coal mines will be opened
up. The new line runs through a good
agricultural and stock raising district
to which the advent of the road un-
doubtedly viii bring rapid develop
ment.
Erection of the buildings at the con-
struction camp is expected to take
several days, and by the time that
work is completed, the machinery and
grading equipment is expected to be
on the ground and actual work on the
road viii be underway. The contract
calls for the completion of the branch
by October 1.

TO TRY FOR OIL
IN NORTHERN McCONE

A contract has recently been signed
up by number of Wolf Point bust
ness men for the drilling of an oil
we'll some six or eight miles south of
Wolf Point in McCone County.
1t is understood that quite good
report has been given by geologists
and that production is expected at
$500 feet. Work on the well is to
start in June. If oil is found in COM
mercial quantities in making this test,
it undoubtedly will mean much de-
velopment and testing for oil through
out this county.
