DR.. Howe, of the Kalispell Inter

fraternal call on Editor Cavanaugh,
of the Shelby Promoter. The min

his word was good.
Howe said he had always made
good with him, and asked the minis

and offered to donate $1,000 to our

Howe said that it was his judgment
that 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 was 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 IL

Things began to look very serious

Byron C0Oney, runner-up for the
democratic nomination for con-
gress in the first district, chairman
of the board of county commission
ers of Silver Bow, editor of the
Montana American of Butte and
versatile writer, went to Shelby
short time ago, and wrote his inn
pressions of the northern Montana
oil metropolis from Pullman car
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 resource 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 promotion story of oil COM
panies, or of oil promoters, and any
who are mentioned will be mentioned

stories of fabulous fortunes-which

Having nothing to buy and nothing
to sell, was setting rather pretty
from 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 |

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.. Steyensons
official statements to his stockhold-
ers:
''The Sunburst Oil & 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

three million dollars to the value of

velopment to date is not drop in the
bucket compared with what is now
commencing. Take your pencil and

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 / got generally was
that there wasn't much left for the
fellow who got into the Kevin-Sun-

may be some good stock for sale at

One of the investors owed hotel

TWO CENT GAS TAX In
EFFECT SINCE APRIL |

The state tax of two cents a gall
Ion on gasoline sales, provided by
the law passed by the last iegis-
Iature, went into effect April 4,
supplanting the one cent a gallon
tax which had been in effect since
January 4, 1921.
During the 81 months that the
one-cent gallon tax was in effect
more 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.

intended to discourage contingent
fees and require their disclosure"
The new procedure required by the

BLAME GAMBLERS
FOR $4,000 FIRE
Biz Stock of Dressed Lumber
Burned Up in Blaze at
Shryock & Co. Yards.
SNAPSHOTS.
CO. Wheeler Syn lnc-

Working on the theory that a Gig
arctic carelessly discarded by gam
bIers started 100000 fire which yes
terday afternoon destroyed most of
the dressed lumber in the wholesale
yards of Thomas ]. Shryock & Co,
at South Capitol and G streets, police
were investigating today in an effort
to establish the identity of the col
ored youths believed to have been re-
sponsible for the confiagration.
Fire Marshal Seib, after visiting
the scene of the fire today, estimated
the damage at from $4,000 to $4,000:
Early estimates by the police ranged
up to $4,000, but an inspection today
disclosed that some of the lumber can
apparently be salvaged.
Several Firemen Hurt.
Several firemen received minor in
furies in fighting the blaze, which
had gained such Roadway when the
alarm was sounded that Fire Chief
watson put in three alarms. me
only fireman necessitating hospital
treatment was Private L. A. knight
of No. truck company, who was
struck and lacerated by a piece or
falling lumber last night. He was
taken to Casualty Hospital, where it
was found his injuries were not
serious.
Representative of the lumber COM
pany, whose headquarters are in Bal
timore, told Capt. Ira Sheetz of No
precinct, who conducted a personal
investigation today, that on several
Monday mornings recently they had
found lumber disarranged, so as TO
form improvised benches, and that
gamblers were suspected of having
Invaded the yard the Sunday previous.
The yard is surrounded by a high
board fence but no watchman is on
duty Sunday, it was learned.
Horses Are ScOrched.
Two horses, which were in sta
BILE at the rear of the yard, were badly
burned before they could be gotten
out of the frame building in which
they were housed. Oil was poured on
their scorched hides after their res
cue, but one Of them was in such pain
today that he was shot.
According to the police, the blaze
was discovered shortly after l o'clock
by J. d. SchriSm, a Waterman on duty
on the tracks of the Southern rail-
way, several hundred feet away. He
telephoned the fire department. A
few minutes later an alarm was
sounded from the box at 1st and E
streets. AS more persons discovered
the fire the alarms began coming into
fire headquarters with such frequency
that men were stationed at the boxes
to keep away would-be informants.
Fire Spread Rapidly.
Starting fire officials believe. in the
rear of the yard, near the stable, the
fire, famed by a strong southerly
wind rapidly ate it's way through
the north shed of the yard and soon
spread to the south shed. about fifteen
feet away. Both sheds were loaded
TO capacity with the finest grades of
dressed lumber destined for Wash
ington home building operations, in
Guiding ash, white pine, oak and fir.
William r. Miller, manager Of the
yard, could not give officials a definite
estimate of the amount of lumber
stored in the sheds, but it was said
that the yard, as whole, held proba-
bly, more than one million feet Of
lumber.
