Seeking
Oil Lands to
Fill Own Need

Rome, April 14.-W Validating
for oil is to become an establish
ed Italian speculative activity.
The absence of any mineral oil
production throughout the Italian
peninsula has caused the govern
ment to consider means for the
discovery of any oil deposits with
i n the borders. A ministerial
committee, headed by Premier
Mussolini, has been formed to
promote proposals for tho de-
velopement of oil lands. The COM
mittee has already held several
meetings.
Italy's need for her own oil
and her absolute dependence on
importation of oil from abroad
has been given weight considera-
ton by every ministry. The inn
portance Of oil, especially in
time of war, has urged itself upon
the present government with the
result that the newly constituted
ministerial oil committee intends
to give all the encouragement
and assistance possible n the
discovery of deposits.
The committee is expected by
a system of subsidies and pre-
miums to foster the formation of
oil companies to undertake drill
ing. Little or nothing is known
of any oil deposits in Italy at
present. Many of Italy's public
men have constantly contended
that there are mineral deposits
in the volcanic strata, and that
amoung these dephsits is oil.
Meanwhile, the Sindacato Ma
zionale Combustibili an Italian
development corporation, h a 8
already startdd negotiations for
oil lands in Albania. English and
American companies also have
been negotiating with the AL
bantam government for oil con-
cessions, but, as yet, that govern
ment has concluded no contracts
with foreign oil companies. The
italian corporation expects, thru
diplomatic channels, t secure
the consent of the Albanians to
drill. 1t has approached the
Italian government asking it's aid
and protection in the develope-
ment of Albanian oil and re-
quests the right to build the
necessary oil stations in Bari,
Brindist and Venice. It has also
appealed to the government for
a royalty on every ton Of crude
oil shipped into Italy.

PROGRAM ENJOYED

The program given under the aus
pices Of the Amcricanixation school
was a most decided success. The au-
ditorium was filled to the limit and
the program, which was . full even

q hitch. Many cars filled with partic-
ipsnts In the program drove out from
Great Falls, while many more came
from the surrounding country. The
program was good, both entertaining
and instructive. and those taking part
deserve the highest praise, while
those who managed the affair are to

Cascade to Get Huge
Car License Sum

More than $4,000, it is estimated,
will be received by Cascade county as
a. result of the change made by the
recent legislature in the law regulat-
ing the registration of motor vehicles.
The law was amended to provide that
all if the money received for regis
trations, minus the cost of clerical
work, be returned to the counties of
the state.
In 1922, Cascade county received
$4,000 for motor registrations, this
representing one-half the fees collect
ed for registration of cars in this
county, the other half going to the
state highway commission, as provid-
ed under the old law.
Another change made by the legis-
lature will also slightly increase the
general fund of the county. A law was
passed providing that all moneys col
lected from liquor fines be turned into
the county general fund instead of the
school funds, as formerly stipulated.
Last year Cascade county received APP
proximateIy 1880 from liquor fines

BOY SCOUTS
BREAK EVEN
WITH CT. FALLS

The games Saturday night were
very interesting to watch. The first
game, that Of the 8o-pound class, wa
fast and showed some phenomtnal
team work on the part Of the Belt
boys and a corresponding bull dos
battle against odds by the Great Falls
scouts.
The half showed score Of IL to .
in Belts favor, while the final count
was 81 to z.
Referee Culver made the Belt tsarn
play clean ball and after they had as
simulated this fact and had ssttlsd
down to work they showed class of
basketball which ought to make stars
of them in a few years.
The Great Falls 110-pound team
forfeited their game to the Belt
scouts by failing to appear. the ex-
cuse being given that sickness pre-
vented their coming. One sick boy
ought not to prevent = scout team
from making an appearance, especial
ly when there are scores to choose
from.
The heavyweight division was won
easily by Great Falls, who played good
clean team work, while Belts team

who had never played together be-
fore. Boboth was easily the star for
the locals. He was in every play,
made the most Of the points and
urged the team on to better efforts.

combination, although each player
did his best and the score shows that
the game was no snap for the visitors.

FUNERAL or EVELYN ISAACS0n
IN ST. MARKS ON WEDNESDAY

AT ii o'clock Sunday morning Ev-
eiyn Isaacson, daughter of Mrs. Jos.
Ieveille, passed away at Columbus
hospital. She was 10 years of age
and had been suffering with Bright's
disease for some time. Seven weeks
ysgo her condition became such that
CHE was taken to the hospital for
treatment At times she appeared
much improved, SO much so that on
Tuesday last her mother came home
for few days to look after home du-
ties, but on Thursday change for the
worse came and her mother was sent
for. The little girl was conscious to
the last and talked to those around
her to the very last.
Evelyn's father was killed in an
auto accident on the Great Falls grade
some years ago. She was in the fifth
grade of the public schools and was
a fxvorite with teachers and pupils.
She had sweet and sunny disposition
and was in no way inclined to COM
plain which perhaps accounts for the
fact that the discovery that she was
the victim of this dread disease was
mot made before. Everything possible
was done by the doctors to stem the
ravages of the disease but to no avail
Evelyn suffered very little until the
ast day when her malady took the
$erious turn for the worse.
The body was brought home from
O'Connor's undertaking establishment
on Tuesday. The funeral was held in
St Marks church at $3.50 Wednesday
morning where Father Richards said
mass.
The pail bearers were Charles Nc
Shane, Roy Spogen, Ray Pimperton,
John Bachan, Henry Gassock and John
Carr. The casket was covered with
. profusion of beautiful flowers. the
offerings Of friends, relatives and
schoolmates. Interment was made in
Pleasant View cemetery.
A large number of relatives and
friends accompanied the body to the
grave where the last sad rites were
hsld.
The family have the sympathy of
the entire community for schoolmates,
neighbors and acquaintance will miss
from their midst that sweet smiling
face which always lighted up when
they greeted her.
