London, Feb. 5.-Pohtical forces at

Prime Minister Bonnr. Law to cast

that France, established the iron ring
of customs barrier around the Ruhr in
retaliation for obstructive tactics on the
part of the German coal magnates.
Englishmen recall that President

Tells an Editorial Experience
An Encounter With bad Man" After He Had Been
Criticized.

One Of the prominent automobile
dealers of San Antonio who several
years ago ran newspaper in one Of
the larger Texas cities, tells of an anus

while an editor.

so, for the next several weeks, an
editorial appeared in my paper, nearly
every day severely criticising the city
administration.
"One day a friend came TO me and
suggested that / had better let up on
my attacks on the city officials. One
of the commissioners, he told me, has
become very angry. 1t would not be
well to incur the enmity of this com
missioner, he said, because he had a
reputation of being rather bad man
when he got sore with anybody.
But l paid no attention to these
warnings. On the day before election,

There was time when corset was

Gas Flow Holds Up
Gladys Belle Well

Difficulty with gas is holding
up drilling operation on the
Gladys Belle test north of the
Sweetgrass Hills, section 1874
0. Gas is again coming up thru
the casing. Drillers at the well
believe that it is the gas struck
higher on structure which has
broken through and is coming
up from the bottom Of the casing
run to shut it off. Others be-
lieve that the gas is coming from
a new horizon. An attempt will
be made to shut if off with the
casing and if this fails, drilling
will b resumed to ascertain
whether it is new gas sand.

Work Going on
Steady in the
Keyin Oil Fields

In spite of evident attempt to
bear the Kevin oil field by laying
stress upon low price of oil, work
is going on steadily in the field,
and the outlook is for an exten-
sive drilling campaign in various
parts of the field.
At present there are "a produc-
ing wells in the field, six of them
having come into production last
week.
Prices of oil paid in the field
by the Ohio is 70 cents per bar
rel, the same as paid from the
opening of the field, except for
a few months when the price
jumped to $1.20. The same price
condition prevails throughout
the oil fields of the country. and
it is believed that the bottom has
been touched, and tnat prices
will begin on the upgrade be-
fore two months has passed.
The Kelvin field has local
market which aids greatly in the
getting rid of production, and
leaves the field in a manner in
of the Midi Continent.
The Imperial refinery in Calgary
is taking about 1,5O0 barrels a
day, and will increase this great
ly within a short time, when the
plant gets under way. it now be-
ing only storage purchase; the
refinery in Great Falls
is taking about 1880 barrels per
day, and the Homestake refinery
Of the same place about 500 bar
rels, while the AFRO refinery in
Lewistown has contracted for
500 barrels per day. In addition
to this several topping plants in
The field use about 750 barrels
per day, and this will also be in
creased. With the opening CT the
refinery double h e
amount now being used will be
added to the supply taken from

operators in the Kevin field is
lot doleful by any means. and
business is still going on.

California Will Reach
Peak of Production

Peak Of crude oil production
will be reached in September, is
the opinion of julius Fohs, inter-
acknowledgement geologist, who
is credited with locating the en-
ormous pools which made possi-
BILE the sensational growth of the
Humphreys Oil interests.
Fohs states that in his opinion
that there is not much probalil-
ity of finding more large oil pools
in southern California.
His idea is that Long Beach is
drilled 80 per cent, Santa Fe
Springs 80 per cent, and Hunt
ington Beach SO per cent. South
ern California Oil Producers as
sociation, through the chairman
of the association, S. B. Guiber-
son, has recommended that pro-
ducers restrict their output to 55
per cent Of the potential produc-
ton.
1t is estimated that AZ new
wells will be completed at Hunt
ington Beach, 104 at Long Beach
and 1913 at Santa F'e Springs be-
tween July l and November 80.
On this basis, new potential
production is estimated at ap-
proximately an additional 1900
barrels for Huntington Beach,
100000 for Long Beach and 1884,
900 for Santa Fe Springs.
Guiberson 8 report follows a.
physical check Of all properties
by committee of southern pro-
ducers. The committee believes
peak production will continue
through August.

Kelvin Vicinity Was
Visited by Hail Storm

The cloudburst that hit this
and the northeastern part of the
field Saturday evening filled all
the reservoirs to running over.
No particular damage was done
by the rain, but a hailstorm
which proceeded it and the elect
ric storm made it quite interest
ing.
The hailstones were unusually
large, many of them being as
large as hens eggs and swept
everything down before them.
In many instances the hailstones
drove holes through the roof of
the cabins of the field and as
founded sleepers by plunking in
on toe beds. Windows were brok-
en- by the storm, but as there is
no farming done to any extent
the storm had only the field and
camps to work on and the dam
age was slight. In Kevin the
storm was less severe and little
or no damage was done.

Shos1one Oil
Company to Drill
Three More Wells

The Shoshone Oil company,
who now have one of the best
producing wells in the field out
in 1912 west, only a short ways
east Of Kevin, have decided, with
associates to drill three offsets to
the first producer. The Shoshone
Oil company, made up of Idaho
men, will drill the offset to the
Mcdonald well, which came in
this last week, and are now gett-
ing things in shape SO that drill
ing will start soon.
The Wallace Oil company, also
a Idaho concern, are making
preparations to drill on the
eighty adjoining the Shoshone.
Adjoining the Shoshone on the
southwest, on the DeGroat lease
and Suhr permit, Fred Crane is
now rigging up and the spudd-
ing in Of this we'll will take place
this week.
The Shoshone company is COM
posed entirely of Idaho men.
Fred Crane is in charge Of the
operations and has moved his
family here in order that he may
be on the job all the time and to
see that the work is pushed along
to early completion If these
three wells.

Gas Price is Stabiliezed
In Western States

But little change in prevailing
gasoline prices seems probable in
the mountain states, especially
Montana, Idaho and the Dakotas,
in the opinion of leading dealers
and jobbers in that territory.
This is held to be due to the
comparative isolation of these
states from the competing efforts
Of Mid Continent refneries, all
of which have to contend with a
heavy freight rate. Montana re-
fineries are unable to do more
than help supply the demand,
and are unable to exert any
downward pressure.
Montana gasoline prices have
lowered around the rs cent mark
for the past year, and dealers
see no change in sight.
In centers more closely con-
nected with large refneries. both
and Independent. price
wars have resulted from the
frantic efforts to rid storage
tanks Of the surplus gasoline,
caused by the continued overpro-
duction. Such an occurance is
not regarded as probable in this
state.

CHURCH NOTICE

The regular services will be
held in the Community Churches
of Sweet Grass, Sunburst and
Kevin during August. There has
been a great deal of interest
shown in the work of the church
and it is hoped that services can
be held each week all through
the coming winter.
On Tuesday afternoon the boys
of Kevin went for a hike and
"Hot dog feed.' After playing
a number Of games and eating
their supper around the camp
fire, the boys had a great deal of
fun hunting snipes." Four of
the boys had never gone snipe
hunting before and they stayed
for several hours holding their
caps to catch the birds. 1t is re-
ported that the snipes are not
very plentiful about Kevin this
year.
The boys camp in the Sweet
Grass Hills will be held August
9th to 10th. 1t is expected that
over thirty boys will enjoy the
week in the hills as just about
that number have already signed
up to 60. Any boys above nine
years who wish to go must have
their names in to Rev. Kistler, at
Shelby, or Rev. Redfield, at
Sweet Grass, by Saturday night.
The camp fee of three dollars
must be paid before going on the
trip. 1t has been arranged that
cars will leave the various towns
early Monday morning with the
boys and their baggage. No boy
who can go can afford to miss
this week in the hills.
Rev. Redfeld, Pastor.
