SETTLERS WILL
FLOCK TO STATE
MONTANA DUE FOR BIG INFLUX
THIS YEAR, RAILROAD Of
FICIALS BELIEVE.
Certain That a Family Will Be
Placed ON Every Irrigated Tract
of the North; Colonization Plans
Working Out Nicely.

With 210 persons, experienced
farmers, of irrigated lands in south
ern Idaho, already settling on north
ern Montana irrigation projects, the
the colonization movement is now at
stage that assures the placing of a
family on every 80 and 160-acre tract
of the projects of the Great North
ern in northern Montana, according
| to G. w. Lincoln, agricultural de-
velopment agent for the road.
The first of the new colonists went
on the Chestnut valley project near
Cascade last year and the others set
tied on the Milk river project near
Harlem and Chinook. A banquet was
given at Harlem, recently, by the res
idents and business men of that
place at which the new colonists were
guests. The banquet was in the ma
ture of reception for the new set
tiers. In addition to the Idaho colo
nists, e. G. Leedy, immigration agent
for the Great Northern, Mr.. Lincoln,
K. L. Molen of Great Falls and Chas.
d. Greenfield, of Helena, agricultural
development agents, were guests at
the banquet.
The colonization of northern Mon
tana projects by experienced irrigat-
ors of southern Idaho began early in
January, 1928. Ten families have al
ready arrived on the Milk river pro-
ject this year and others will follow.
They come from Twin Falls, Idaho,
Falls, Firth and other districts in
southern Idaho. About rs per cent |
of the families are Mormon in reli-
gion.
The inducements offered by Mon
tana irrigated farms are reasonable
prices; good terms of payment, per-
hitting the colonists to improve and
build up the tracts they purchase.

STATE FIGURES
ON OIL OUTPUT
PIPELINE COMPANIES TRANS
PORTED 1926, 1871 BARRELS
OF CRUDE IN 1922
Most of this Came from Cat Creek,
as Only Few Wells Were Pro-
ducing in Kevin-Sunburst Prior to
January 1 of This Year.

In 1922 the Cat Creek and Kelvin
fields in Montana produced total
of 2,235, 931.41 barrels of crude oil
that was transported by pipeline
companies to railroad points for
shipment to refineries, according
to compilations made by statistic
ians of the state tax commission,
who obtained their figures from re-
ports of the pipeline companies
filed each month with the state. In
addition to this total there were
145,7S barrels stored by the pipe
line companies, crule that has not
yet been delivered.
OF this total amount, all was pro-
duced in the Cat Creek field, except
30,194.69 barrels, which was pro.
duced in the Kelvin field and was
transported by the Illinois Pipeline
company to Sunburst. In the Cat
Greek field the Montana Pipeline
company, successor to the Montana
Independent Pipeline company, trans
ported 90,052.55 barrels, and the re-
mainder of the Cat Creek production
2,115, 684.17 barrels of crude, was
transported by the Mutual Pipeline
company.
From January / to July 1, 1922,
the price of crude was $50 a bar
rel. In July the price decreased to
s1.40 a barrel. In August the price
dropped to S1.20 barrel, and re-
manned at that figure until Deem
Der when the price advanced to
s1.25.
Shipped to Refineries
Crude oil from the Cat Greek field,
after having been transported by the
pipeline company to railroad points,
was shipped to the Weowna Refining
company at Winnett, which received
65,668.30 barrels in addition to 424.-
81 barrels in miscellaneous ship
ments. The AFRO Oil and Refining
company at Lewistown received 58,-
403.95 barrels, the Lewistown Oil
and Refining company received H.
433.33 barrels, and the Midwest Re-
filming company, also at Lewistown,
received 6,198.94- barrels. c. w.
Hart, at Hedgesville, received 1871
barrels.
The Midwest. Refining company at
Lowell, Wyo., received 59,282.32 bar
rels, and the General Petroleum COM
pany at the same place 660,547.51
barrels, the North Star Oil and Re-
filming company at Winnipeg, Mani
toba, received 5,615.40 barrels, and
the Pure Oil corporation at Minnea-
polls received 5,482.58 barrels.
Other big shipments that went
from Cat Creek to refineries in Wy
oming were 382,252.36 barrels which
went to the Mutual Oil company at
Cowley and 610,573.34 to the Mid
west Refining company at Greybull.
Handled at Billings
The Montana Refining company at
Billings, received 36,852.65 barrels,

Farmers Holding Wheat

With 100000 bushels of wheat
to be moved over the Butte division
of the Great Northern, 125 grain cars
are standing idle in the Great Falls
yards, according to Superintendent
Fred Wear, and similar situation
has prevailed for the last month. Mr..
Wear declares farmers are holding
their grain, evidently in the hope of
realizing a better price next month.

Contract for shop construction
work, involving an expenditure of
more than $4,000, has been let by

The Great Northern has acted as the
agent for the colonists and does not
own the land on which the colonists
are settling. The lands are pur-
chased from land owners in the dis
tricts. The principal products will be
sugar beets, potatoes, corn, grain,
hay and dairying.

At first the wheat market had n
downward tendency, the result Of hcdS-

Inter. however, II became evident that
offerings were passing into strong
hands. At this juncture reports from
Kansas City indicated that domestic
mill"rs were actively purchasing choice
hard winter wheat Millers also were
said to be- good buyers of wheat on
track in Chicago. The reason given.
that Kansas and Nebraska were no
surplus producing states, soon was fol-
lowed by an upward swing in price to
new high level for the week.
Continued bullish crop reports from
tho Canadian northwest aided the as
cent. According to current advices,
damage to Canadian wheat has been
much heavier than was locked for and
serious further enrichment by frost
seems likely. some notice waS taken
also of reports that differences between
