Standard Oil
To Drill at Blko
Financial Writer Com
ments ON Nevada
Oil Fields

encouragement of the most sub.
stantial nature In the Nevada oil
fields has been announced from
Elko. Denis Donahoe, of the San
Francisco Examiner, the best known
financial writer of the coast, has the
following to say, which reflects this
way, as should oil be developed In
| the Elko field by a Standard Oil
concern it means the same treat
ment in this district:
N X. Moody, recently elected pres
ident of the Prairie Oil & Gas Com
pany, one of the Standard Oil group,
is allowing no grass to grow under
his feet, where the expansion of the
field of operations of this big pro
ducing and marketing company is
concerned.
Word reached this city yesterday
from Elko, New, that the Prairie
Oil & Gas has taken the first steps
in developing large acreage of
Southern Pacifics railroad land at
Elko, by sending an expert drilling
crew into that wildcat field and ship
ping a standard rig to Elko from
Fort Worth, Texas. The crew are on
the ground ready to begin operations
as soon as H. E. O'Brien, field man
ager. shall arrive, and the rig and
equipment is due to reach Elko on
Monday next.
Readers of this column will recall
that a small local company, controll-
ed chiefly by employees of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. has
been drilling pioneer we'll at Elko
for many months.
Both oil and gas have been en-
countered in the course of drilling
this we'll, which is now being deep
ened. Biologists representing most
of the big companies operating in
California have examined the struc-
ture around Elko and have been fa-
vorably impressed with the indiea-
tions of oil. So much so that the
Southern Pacific many months ago
withdrew its lands in the vicinity of
Elko from sale to settlers.
1t should be subject for congrat
ulation among Nevadans that 2 big
strong company such as the Prairie
las decided to pioneer in this Wild
cat field, because being equipped
with abundant capital. the question
of whether oil or gas exists in COM
mercial quantities at Elko bids fair
to be settled definitely. Should Elko
prove the center of a new oiifield,
the value of the discovery to the
whole state of Nevada cannot be
over-rated.
Two railroad systems, that of the
Southern Pacific and that of the
Western Pacific, serve Elko now;
and as there are no producing oil
wells in Nevada, the petroleum, gas
oline and other products from wells
at Elko would find a ready market
in that large territory lying between
the Rocky Mountains and the Coast
Range. In fact, a really productive
field at Elko would change that pre-
gressive little city from stock-rais-
munity.
1t seems strange that the Stan
dard Oil of California is not behind
this Nevada development-in our
backyard. so to speak-but that
another Standard Oil concern, here
tofore identified with the mid-conti-
nent field, should have extended the
scope of its operations so far west
ward

Some Excellent Records

Among the records established
through the testing association some
excellent cows have been shown. In
some cases the profits from individ-
ual cows showed as much as $3.50
for each dollar invested. In many
cases the tests showed that profits
ranged high and that the few dead
head cows are being weeded out.

SENATOR RoRvIk
BACK FROM HELENA

Peter Rorvik. NcCone Cou1tvss D0p-
ular Senator returned home Monday
from Helena here he has spent the
past two months as this Countys rep
resentative in the upper branch OF
the 18th legislative assembly.
Considerable important legislation
was passed according to Senator Ror-
vik, but he is frank to admit that 9TH
er legislation which would have been
of great benefit to the state as a
whole, was not passed.
The biggest fight developed over
the gross mines tax, and Pete was
strong for this measure which would
have done much towards equalizing
the tax burdens, taking some rightful
revenue from the big mining interests
and lessening the burden of the com
mon people.
We are glad to note that both Ror-
vik and Carlson of McCone, voted on
the right side, on all important legis-
lation. Their actions while in Helena
have met with the approval of the
folks back home" and this is more
than can be said for many other legis-
lators from this section of Montana.

There are many good gifts that one
can choose, but for lingering satisfac-
ton, long drawn out, what is there,
after all, that can be named in the
same breath with The Youths Com
panion? The fun is only begun with
the first number. Thereafter through
the So weeks of the long, long year,
it is constantly supplying fresh sourc-
es of amusement and information.
Now it is the beginning of a new
serial, then it is a contribution of Wit
al interest to the youth interested in
sport or science, next it is a brand
new story by G. A. Stephens or A.
S. Pier, or tale of wild adventure in
the old Indian days, by men who have
actually lived among and powwowed
with the redskins. But why say more?
No other gift is welcomed with so
much pleasure. Try it and see.

County Gains From
Auto Fees
All Money From Automobile Registra-
tion Hereafter Go To General
Fund of County

Several thousand dollars will be re-
ceived by McCone County this year as
result of a change made by the re-
cent legislature in the law regulating
the registration of motor vehicles.
The law was amended to provide that
all of the money received for regis
trations, minus cost of clerical work,
be returned to the counties in which
the cars are owned.
Heretofore the counties only re-
ceived half of this fee, the state high
way commission getting the other.
Another thing that is of vital i'm
portance in this matter, as far as Nc
Cone county is concerned, is that our
county in the past has not been given
credit for all registration money
which belongs to this county. There
are SO many people residing in this
county whose postoffice address is in
another county and consequently in
many cases, the county in which the
party gets his mail, has been credited
with this money, which rightfully be-
longs to McCone.
Senator Rorvik while in Helena
called the Secretary of States atten
ton to this, and he was informed that
he will make a special effort to give
proper credit, and suggest that in or
der that the right county get credit,
when any one applies for license, if
they will merely write across the card,
Residence in McCone County, or
whatever the county may be, it would
be given proper credit So those of
you who have as yet not obtained
your license for 1928, il your postof-
flee happens to be outside of the
county, take particular pains to see
that you make above notation on your
card so that the money may be spent |
in McCone. Also tell your neighbor
about it.

| He came into an unfrequented part
| of the country, lion such as few have
ever seen-active, with a great frame,
piercing eyes and a great, shaggy
mane
He saw wonderful opportunities for
himself and possible family where
game was abundant and where he
alone was Lord and Master.
His habits were nocturnal. Sun
shine made him drowsy. Moon-shine
stirred up his great strength, which
having no competition was seldom
used
Years passed. Undefeated in many
battles, he waxed bold. He roared till
the gumbo trembled to its very foun-
dation. First there were roars which
were used only in the search for
mate. There were roars-a challenge
to battle, and again there were roars
which to the rest of the animals
meant nothing at all-in fact the an
imals thought that in his pilgrimages
he had learned a new language.
Finally victim of over confidence,
he wandered from his den in day
time-a thing which his cunning had
heretofore forbidden him to do, but
yith the spirit of maonshsze stroHg
in his bosom he cast caution to the
winds and sailed forth Feeling Sc
cure in his great strength, as he wan
dered homeward bound he ventured
on trail which he long since had
forsaken. All at once he stopped, his
knees shook; he stood speechIess.
What did he see.. A LIONESSi One
with name equal in length to his own;
small in stature; with piercing eyes,
His great strength desert him; his
nerve failed him; his name which al
ways before had bristled now drop
ped; his otherwise rigid muscles be-
came useless. He left, whipped out of
/ battle
In great sorrow he departed from
he shadow of the GUMBO, acknow- |
edging defeat for the first time. He |
low reposes serenely in his den and |
sadly admits that the FEMALE OF |
THE SPECIES IS MORE DEADLY |
THAN THE MALE.
