LONDON. Sept. 1.-The most
remarkable thing about the Labor
party in the House of Commons is
that its percentage of aristocrats
and men of high education is as
large as that of any other party in
the assembly.
The Labor delegation contains not
only practical miners and men who
have worked in the mills. but men
of great learning. men of affairs,
men belonging to the oldest families
in England and men of wealth ana
social distinction. 1t contains this
great leavening of men who have
arrived at their political conclusions
not on account of discomfort with
their own lot, but after fighting the
opinions of their own caste and
their own kind.
It's foreign expert is Arthur Pom
sonby. descendant of Earl Grey.
famous Prime Minister and formerly
mage of honor to Queen Victoria.
For years he was in the diplomatic
service and then became private
secretary to Sir Henry Campbell
Bannermah when he was Premier

George.

is Charles Philip Trevelyan, one of
the richest men in England and son
of the Ri Hon. Sir Otto Trevelyan,
famous historian. Geographic of
Macaulay and one of the most

tenth century.
Then there are the brothers Noel
and Charles Buxton. both honor
men at Cambridge University and
secretary and aide-de-camp, respec-
lively. to their father, Sir George
buxton, when he was governor Of
South Australia. Both vote in the
so-called Socialist lobby.
In this list also Is the uame Of
Col. Josiah Wedgewood. descendant
OF the famous potter and a naval
archltect, who served with great
distinction in the war. And there

Looking Much
Brighter For Coming City

While Kelvin has not experinc-

they should be. nevertheless, the
future looks more promising.
The work began this week of ex-
tending the Great Northern side
tract for the loading platform
that the California company con-
template building at once. This,
probably is only the beginning
of things that will follow. Be-
sides this platform, it is expect
ed that we will soon see the COM

big tanks, and many more things
that will start the town off with
q bang.

build Z new depot soon, we are
informed that this will be one

Webster's Sus-
pension and Ours

Webster defines Suspension"
as "Act of suspending or state
of being suspended A-s.s uefiIi-
tion O f suspension holds good
from literary point of view but
those interested in the oil game
are inclined to view Webster s
definition as entirely inadequate
to properly express their feelings
when the bit nears the sand on
location where they are vitally
interested. One of Webster's de-
finitions for "suspender" is more
expressive "a devise for sus-
pending hides in tan liquor" !"
That's a peter definition mas
much as the man who has an in
terest in wildcat acreage being
drilled oftimes feels that his hide
is being suspended in tanning
liquor while the bit nears the
sand. However, if Webster does
fall short for proper expression
during the suspension period he
also falls short in describing the
sensation when the oil rises over
the top. What we are going to
do about Webster's dictionary
will have to be considered by
the knights of the Wildcat
Table. The Winnett Times.

Oil company's Income
Taxes Total $l3,3l5

Probably the largest incom,
tax return that has ever beer
paid by an oil company in Mon
tana was paid by the Kevin-Sun.
burst company Friday at the
Great Falls Offices of the inter.
nal revenue department. The oil
company paid a tax of $13.315 on
its 1922 income.
In addition to the income tax.
the company paid a corporation
tax of 81, 100 to the state a short
time previously.
The income Of the Kevin-Sun-
burst came primarily from the
sale of a large block of leases to
the California company, sharing
in t.ls sale of 1896. 600 of property
to that company. Other sales of
acreage were MADE Dy the COM
pany.
The Keyin-Sunburst company
was origionally a pool Of $4,000
by Lewistown and Great Falls
business men. The company has
a record of having paid 1000
per cent in dividends from the
sale Of acreage. The company
origionally had leases totaling
$500 acrea. 1t still holds about
half that acreage.

petition is now circulated to have

and also telegraph service.
Rumors are afloat that before
many months 60 by that Kevin
will see many big supply houses
doing business here. The Con-
tinential company are now nego-
tiatitg for a location. which pro-
misses to be one of the early COM
pletions. This will be followed
by many more, such as the Mutu-
al, California, and probably the
Ohio.
Gordon Campbell is expected
to arrive in Kevin soon and be-
gin the many activities that his
company expect to accomplish
this season. With this goes a
pipe line for Kelvin, the bringing
OF water to the city and work is
now in progress on the big re-
finery being erected at Seattle.
This, alone, will mean that Kew
in will be the leading town.
1t is rumored that we are to
have bank, big general store,
q Gents furnishing store, and
many lots are being reserved for
many smaller business places.
Kelvin is not looking for a big
building boom we are looking
for a steady growth. we want
substantial business to come here
who expect t 0 make
their home with us, and have
the necessary funds to erect q
business that will be q credit to
the town. We are not looking Tor
knockers or f1oatsrs. If you are
not satisfied when you come, why
Just move right along, for if you
are not 4 booster we don't need

Kevin Field Looks Good
To Man From Wallace

The we'll brought in by the
Shoshone Oil company in the
Kevin field on Decoration day is
at least a 100-barrel a day pro-
ducer, according to Walter Han
son, Wallace attorney and a
member of the Shoshone COM
pany, who arrived in Spokane
from Shelby yesterday, says the
Sphkane Chronicle.
The company hold 80 acres of
land under government lease
about 18 miles north Shelby. The
hole brought in last week was
the first sunk on the property,
which has GENERALLY been con-
sidered by oil men as double area.
The Kootenai and Ellis sands,
were passed through during drill
ing operations. Some properties
have struck oil in the Kootenai
but a majority are operating in
the Ellis. The hole was put down
to the Madison lime formation at
the base Of the Ellis sand a depth
of 1,6O5 feet, and then shot.
Oil flowing freely for short
time after the shot, but was soon
obstructed by a bridge" about
260 feet from the bottom. The
drillers are now breaking thru
this obstruction.
The Shoshone Oil company is
a closed corporation with the
stock owned largelyin the Occur
d'Alenes.
The Kevin field is the scene
of great activity, Mr.. Hanson
said. The only drawback he said,
was the lack of a market. All
storage tanks are now filled.
The earley operation Of the Great
Falls refining plant, he said, is
expected to overcome part of
the difficulty. A refinery to open
at Calgary, Alta, is also expect
ed to draw oil from this field.

Radio Oil Locators
Prospecting Field

Walter j. Witham, managing
director of the Triumph Oil &
Gas company, of Vancouver, B.
c.. arrived in Kevin this week to
look over the oil situations with
a view of locating here, he was
accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs
Hugh Watson. Mr.. Watson is a
geologist of wide spread reputa-
tlon and claims that he will be
able to locate the big oil pools by
an instrument called the Radio.
Mr.. Watson will also be in the
field for quite awhile and next
week we will try to publish 3
story in detail of his views of the
Kevin field.
