Gibbons WIZ
Train at Shelby

Tom Gibbons will train n
Shelby according to an announce
ment given out Thursday night
by Mike E. Collins. Several cities
have been bidding for the train
ing camp but the Shelby PROPOSE
tion appealed to Eddie Kane and
Tommy Gibbons.
They will arrive in Shelby next
Thursday and remain until after
the big fight, July 4. The local
business men have been dicker-
ing for the training camp for
several days but the decision to
bring the matter to conclusion
was not reached until late Thurs
day night when Kane and Collins
settled on the long distance tele-
phone.
The training camp will be err
ected at once a nd everything
will be in readiness for Gibbons,
the sparring partners and train
ers, when they arrive next week.

driving some families from their
homes.
1t is reported that numerous
reservoirs broke lose, causing
water to run thru the city in the
form of river. While minor
damages were caused to the city,
it is a God send to the field, as
drilling operations were held
back owing to the lack of water.
Every reservoir in the field that
has stood the test, has been filled
and drilling activities is looked
forward to start in earnest.

cleaned out a few days ago with
the intention of shooting. The
perforated length of casing was
found caked with parafin and the
hole was cleaned out and drilled
eight feet further into the sand.
The result was flow of oil that
even the swab could not reduce
to any extent in the hole.
The we'll is apparently good for
at least its initial production
when brought in last October,
and the operators decided not to
shoot it. On the other hand, the
Howling No. 2 has slumped some
what from its initial production.
The Baker No. 3 had showed les
sened production at the time it
was closed down through the
failure of a market Of oil.
While the Howling No. 3 adds
little new area to tie proven
field. its influence extends over
the entire field since it opens the
possibilities of large production
in any unprospected districts,
The market situation is expect

The Mid-Northern Oil compa-

has not yet drilled a dry hole in
the field. Entering the field last

Calgary Seeking
Northern Crude

The market on Kevin oil will
open within the next few days
with the Illinois Pipe Line again
taking oil in the field, it is re-
ported from Canada, according
to A. M. Sellery of the Ohio Oil
company.
With the resumption of the
pipe line, it is probable that there
will be a regular train service
from Coutts to the Imperial re-
finery at Calgary. The flow Of
oil northward will probably nee
essitate running a daily train to
the Imperial plant.
The Calgary refinery is not yet
In position to take oil from the

KeUin Hit by Big Rain
On Wednesday, Night

The lack of water situation is
a thing of the past in the Kelvin

the heaviest rains that has ever
been known of visited this Sec

timers who have made their home
in this section for years. The
rain started in about five o'clock
and continued at a rapid pace

Shoshone Well
Hit The Pay on
Decoration Dav
Reported From $50 to 200 Bar
reis Per Day; Preparations
Being Made to Shoot

Production estimated between
$50 and 200 barrels a day is the
showing at the Shoshone we'll on
the Storms permit, ne4 sw4 sci,
section 1872 w, which was brot
into production yesterday. Late
Wednesday evening the oil was
standing 700 feet in the casing,
but it will be a day or two before
the production can be measured.
The sand was struck at a depth
of 1902 feet and the oil was ris-
ing as fast as it could be bailed
out.
j. F. Mccarthy is the contract
or, while E. E. Mccarthy is in
charge of the drilling. Ed West
is field man for this company,
and Lee Brosius and w. F. Flem-
ing are the drillers.
This we'll lies only four miles
east of Kevin, again showing
that this town is surrounded on
all sides by oil. 1t also proves
beyond a doubt, that the Queen
City, drilling only a half mile
northwest, and who are down
over 800 feet, are due to bring in
a big producer.
The Shoshone company h a s
proved to be one Of the record
breakers on drilling, having drill
ed l498 feet in less than twelve
days, and two fishing jobs were
included in this time.
A charge of nitro is now plac-
ID in the well and it is probable
hat it will be shot today. The
5hoshone will drill three more
wells and are now rigging up in
iection 20.

Mutual Will Build $1,000
Barrel Storage Tank

The Mid Northern we'll, offset
to the Deyereaux on the west end
.of the West Dome in Cat Creek,
will probably be delayed in COM
pleting due to trouble with cave
ms, according to Senator 7. S.
Hogan.
Drillers at the we'll estimated
that it would take four or five
days to place casing on the bot
TOM Of the hole, although good
luck WOULD shorten the job. Aft
er setting casing there will be
only a short piece Of drilling to
complete the we'll.
Senator Hogan's No. l we'll on
his Cat Creek acreage, being
drilled with a rotary rig, is at
200 feet and his offset to- the
Devereaux spudded in Sunday.
Some delay has been caused by
inability to get pipe to complete
the water line from the West
Dome, three miles away. The
end OF the line is 5000 feet from
drilling operations and water is
being hauled by truck.

Mid Northern Howling No. Eclipses All North Field
Producers; Comes in at 1868 Feet; Control Head
Placed 800 Barrels Escape Before Drers Can Stop
Gusher; Rush New Tanks for Storage


A we'll that eclipse all previous
competitions in the Kelvin fiele
was added to the area Monday
afternoon in the Midnorthern.
Howling No. 3, swAnwAneA
section 1852 W, of an initial pro.
duction of 3,100 barrels based on
oil tanked in a brief test.
The depth Of the well was Civ
en- as 1868 feet, II feet into the
sand. It was brought in at $3.50
in the afternoon and threw forth
a flood Of oil from 81 Inch casing
for half hour. The tools were
then dropped into the hole but it
continued to flow heavily in
heads. A control head was rush
ed to the field and was in place
by 6 o'clock. By 8:05 tanks had
been erected and the we'll in the
meantime had flowed 300 barrels.
The we'll was then turned into
250-barrel tank through two
inch pipe on the control head and
in so minutes had placed ~ inch
es Of oil in the bottom Of the
tank.
The best well Of the field prior
to this time was the Ohio Baker
No. 3, which produced 1866 bar
reIs the first "a hours.
The Howling No. 3 is located
on the 8O-acre lease held by John
E. Dawson of Great Falls, vice
president Of the Rocky Mountain
Fire Insurance company, and
George Merkle Of Belt. head OF
the Merkle Coal mines. The lease
is operated by the Mid-Northern
Oil company under an operating
agreement. The Stevenson As
sociated Royalties hold IL per
cel.t in the lease.
The well is a quarter mile south
of the Howling No. 2 and Swears
No l.. It offsets the Mid-North-
ern-Swears No. 2, which was on
ly a fair we'll when completed.
The diagonal offset to the south
west is held by A. Beardslee of
Great Falls. A quarter mile to
the south is the Western Petro-
leum Exploration Swears No l,
also fair well, estimated at
about so barrels. The Baker No.
3 is more than half mile north
east of the new producer.
It is understood that the Mid
Northern will now shoot the
Swears No. 2 with a h eavy
charge, to increase production of
that well.
Oil men Of the Kevin field re-
gard the bringing in of the Howl
ing No. 3 as one of the most sig
nifcant features of recent devel- Ii
opment. It answers the predic-
tions long made by many in the
field that large producers would u
be found in prospecting the field. /.
Since the coming in of the field,
the expression "the largest well |
in the field" has been gradually
rising to include greater produc-
tion, traced from the first Gladys
Belle well, to the first Mid-North-
ern-Howling, then the Hogan
and more recently the Baker No. !,
8, to fall before the record of the I
last completion. Oil men are now !
looking to the possibility of even !
greater production in areas yet ?
to be opened. The fact that this q
we'll is offset distance from q well +
Of only fair production increases q
the room for speculation on these >,
possibilities.
The life of wells in this groud
is also somewhat difficult to esti- il
mate. The Howling No. l WAS l.

eral policy Of these projects should
not be abandoned for any private con
troll.
Highways and Forests
Highways and reforestation should
continue to have the interest ana sup
port Of the government. Everyone IS
anxious for good highways. l have
made a liberal proposal in the budget
for the continuing payment TO the
states by the federal government OF
its share for this necessary public
Improvement. No expenditure of pub
lie money contributes so much TO the
national wealth as for building good
roads.
Reforestation has an Importance far
above the attention it usually secures.
A special committee of the senate is
investigating this need, and l shall well
come a constructive policy based on
their report.
It is 100 years since our country
announced the Monroe doctrine. This
principle has been ever since, and is
now, one of the main foundations OF
our foreign relations. 1t must be
maintained. But in maintaining it we
must not be forgetful that a great
change has taken place. We are no
longer a weak nation. thinking mainly
of defense, dreading foreign impOsi-
ton. We are great and powerful
New powers bring new Responsible
ties. Our duty then was to protect our
selves. Added to that, our duty now is
to help give stability to the world. We
want idealism. We want that vision
which lifts men and nations above
themselves. These are virtues by rea-
son Of their own merit. But they must
not be clustered; they must not be
impractical; they must not be ineneco
tive.
The world has had enough Of the
curse Of hatred and selfishness, Of de-
struction and war. Il has had enough
OF the wrongful use Of material power.
For the healing Of the nations there
must be good will and charity, cOnh-
dence and peace. The time has come
for a more practical use Of moral pow
err and more reliance upon the prin-
ciple that right makes its own might.
Our authority among the nations must
be represented by justice and mercy.
It is necessary not only to have faith,
but to make sacrifices for our faith.
The spiritual forces of the world make
all its final determinations. 1t is with
these voices that America should
speak. Whenever they declare a right
eOus purpose there need be no doubt
that they will be heard. America has
taken her place in the world as a re-
puhlc-free, independent powerful.
The best service that can be rendered
to humanity is the assurance that this
place will be maintained.
