Ttoct; Sand Wds Drilled
Into Last Week.

The Maybelle-Lashbaugh we'll
in NV NV on section 1882 W,
are reported to have a flow of
gas Saturday night, estimated at
between 100000 and 100000
feet. This gas is coming from
the Sunburst sand, which was
hit at the depth of 1927 feet.
The flow of gas has been cased
off by running 6 5-8-inch casing
to a point below the sand.
This we'll will be drilled to the
Ellis and if brought in as a com
mercial well, will prove an area
of about two square miles. This
we'll should be completion this
week. The Maybelle company is
financed by Canadian capitol.

These heavy lncr ea ses IN taxes, which
are indirect tax on the public, show that
your government costs need careful
scrutiny" said Mr.. Hill. Are these
costs being kept down as they should be
in your own interest? The figures point
to the answer. Your welfare, the well
fare of the public generally, demands
that taxes be lowered.
3'The railroad, which serves the public
and actually is part of the public be-
cause of this service and because it is
owned by the public, many Of the hum
dreds of thousands of owners of railway
stocks and bonds being employees and
members of your community, lis in the
same predicament as the rest of the
public. Taxes are burden borne by
all of the public and the lifting of the
burden of excessive taxation calls for
joint effort.
fAIl money expended by the state
must be collected ultimately from the
producers of wealth within the state.
The public must invariably foot all tax
bills, including railroad taxes. 1t is to
your interest even more than to that of
any railroad to make and keep them
low"

Mcdonald Pays First
Dividend, Monthly Basis

A dividend Of two per cent to
stockholders of record on Decem-
Der l has been announced by the
Sweetgrass Oil company, f
which D. A. Mcdonald is head.
Mr.. Mcdonald states that this
dividend will be paid monthly as
long as the present sale of oil
continues. Increased runs or in
creased price Of oil may increase
the rate.
This company has two produc-
ing wells on the Norems lease.
The company is marketing about
$50 barrels Of crude day to field
refneries and for fuel. The two
wells are thereby kept alive
there being no adequate storage
to handle the entire production
Of the two wells. The No. 2 we'll
is now being pumped on the beam
in an effort to pump the we'll
down. Continuous pumping does
not lower the oil in the casing.
The SWeetgrass company is
watching the outcome Of two off
set wells, before the location for
No. 3 we'll is spotted. The Sho-
shone No. 2 which offsets the No.
2 on the west are drilling below

for completion within few days.

Latest Thing in Oil
Drilling is to Find Gold

Winnett, Dec. IL. The latest
thing in oil drilling is to find gold
and t he Neudigate we'll has
found it at ], 300 feet. Mr.. Neudi-
gate has brought TO town SAM
pies taken from the bailer which
assays 500 to the ton. Local men
are excited over the showing.
and many contend that the Koot-
enai dome drilled into by the
Neudigate bit is the top Of a
grea depository of mineral
wealth such as is found on the
Butte hill. Others who have ex-
ammed the samples assert that
the formation and gold cores
pond with the ledge that produc-
ed millions at Gilt Edge, to the
west of here.
Regardless of the gold findings
Mr.. Neudigate asserts that he is
still drilling for oil and will test
out every formation to the Madi-
son lime, unless gold nuggets the
size of goose eggs commence
coming up with the bailer.

St. Paul. Dec. 12.-Americans are get
ting round shoulders from bearing the
huge burden of taxes which actually
have become oppressive because of the
excessive cost of government, SO let's all
get together and lower taxes so that the
dollar we sweat to earn today won't look
like thirty cents tomorrow.
1t is free translation of the sub
/ stance of a statement by Chairman Louis
w. Hill of the Great Northern Railway
in which he states that taxes are nearly
three times as much as they were ten
years ago. He cites the increase Of
nearly 200 per cent in railroad taxes as
striking example of how federal, state
and local government costs have in
creased during the last ten years.
What the head of the board of direct
ors of the Hill system did say was that
the unnecessary cost of Government is
an unnecessary burden on production
and consumption. 1t is to your interest
to do everything in your power to en-
courage honesty, economy and efficiency
in all forms of your government, feder
al, state, and local, SO as to reduce the
taxes you pay; and likewise so as to re-
duce the taxes your. railroads pay, for
they become part of the cost of your
transportati on and Of your cost of liv-
ing.
Even though the tax is collected from
the railroad, it necessarily is added to
the railroads expenses and the public
must pay rates high enough to defray
those expenses, including the taxes
paid"
Official records show that taxes paid
by the railroads in the United States in
1912 totaled Sl09, ,445, ,407 and that by
1922 this drain on earnings had mounted
to Ss09, 9,478, ,764.
Great Northern taxes, for example,
increased from So, ,804 ,924 in 1912 to $8,
097,725 in 1922, or two and one-seventh
times more than ten years ago.
1t is self-evident fact that we must
have adequate transportation and at the
least cost that high class service can be
furnished" said Chairman Hill. "And
it is just as apparent that this transpor-
tation cannot be furnished unless rates
are sufficient to defray expenses. High
taxes are part of high expenses.
