poultry buyers, have a cage capacity
OF 5000 live fowls. They fatten the
fowls on milk, oatmeal feed, etc.
The firm employs large force Of
pickers and during the past several
weeks shipped several tons Of live

The appearance Of a flaming cross
on the hills above Richlahd Center

Bu Klux Khan has been organized in
That vicinity. Flaming crosses have
been seen on the Wisconsin near
MuscOda, according to report.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. l. Natvig, residing
near Lawlor, Iowa, are the parents
Of baby girl born Sunday with two

The matter Of utilizing exhaust
steam from the Richland Center
municipal electric plant for heating
the business houses of the city is
again before the city council. E. f..
Dillon, a Madison promoter, proposes
20 enter into 15-year contract,
binding the city to operate the plant
during that period. The city may
enter into a contract for transmits sion
line power and the fact that the local
plant is expensive to operate is a
stumbling block in the way of Dill
Ions scheme for central heating.

ire Destroys
Bill Elliott Rig

A broken electric light sent the
California-Lorenson well, NE4
NE4 NE4, section 1852 w, up
in smoke and flames Tuesday
morning. The drillers were just
setting casing above the sand
and a good showing of oil was in
the hole.
One of the drillers had gone
down into the pit to do some
work, taking the electric light
with him. 1t swung against
board and broke, the flash of the
electsic wires ignited h gas
flow. Elliott & Collender were
the drilling contractors for this
company, and loosing the rig is
a heavy blow to them. Outside
of one employee being b dly
burnt, the rest of the crew es-
capped without injuries.

kevin Garage Installing
New Lighting System

That the Kevin Garage, unde r
the management of its proprie-
tor, Ray Sorrell, intends giving
the public service that big cities
afford, is evidence Of the new
lighting system that he is install
ing this week in his fine new
garage that he has just moved
into on the east side of the tract.
A complete Electric Lighting
system with drills and battery
equipment, adds to the many
other extensive improvements
that this concern boasts in their
new home. 1t is with pride that
the Review announces that when
travellers come to Kevin that they
will find a garage equal to ary
in larger cities, where first class
Workmanship awaits them. Kew
in is indeed fortunate in having
a garage Of this kind, and it is
hoped that many more under
takings such as Mr.. Sorrell has
established, will appear in Kevin
before the summer is ended.

The kevtana Refinery
Damaged by Fire Friday

Caused by a slight defect IN
a pipe at the base of the boiler,
the Kevtana Refinery broke out
in flames Friday afternoon about
two o'clock, which b y quick
action of the people around town
saved the building from being
completely burned to the ground.
The fire was extinguished b y
steam, fire extinguishers and
snow. The fact that the build
ing is constructed Of sheet iron,
is probably the cause that it was
saved from being completely de-
stroyed. However, t h e only
damage done was in the boiler
room, which will amount t o
somewhere in the neighborhood
of two hundred dollars. The Kew
tana is very fortunate, indeed,
for had the fire gained headWay,
and the big oil tanks caught
fire, it would have destroyed the
structure entirely. The manage
ment of this concern informs us
that they will be all fixed up
soon and will be ready for opera
tion at an early date. They had
only been in operation one week
from the time the fire occurred.

Aloe, " Now The
Wonder Question
Review Informed by DriIIers
Shut Down Awuitinq
Arrival Of Casing

The burning question these
days here in Kevin is ."What
about the Aloe" the Great Falls
Tribune came out one day this
week announcing that the Aloe
was standing in water.
We have been here in Kew
most a year and have tried to
tell the absolute truth in regards
to every hole that has been put
down to the best of our ability
but we cannot see the use to
report hole water unless it is
an absolute fact, now as to the
Aloe, in our candid opinion, it is
far from a dry hole or water well,
but at the same time we have
heard runners to that effect, and
we are not saying that it isn't
dry. We have gone to the drill
ers and we have found out from
them that they didn't know. In
conversation with one Of tn e
drillers Tuesday he told US that
they were waiting for casing to
arrive, and as far as it being a
water hole it was far beyond his
knowledge. But just why these
Great Falls papers presist in re-
porting these wells dry or water,
we are unable to say.
Mr.. Craig, one of the represen-
,atives of the Queen City COM
)any, came to the Review repre-
entative Tuesday afternoon and
lsked as to where the Great Falls
,aper got their information in
'egards to the Aloe, he said that
is far beyond his belief that
he Aloe is a dry hole, and that
ind of publicity was doing the
Ield far more hurt than it was
Ding good.

Homestake i 8 also given the
privilege f leasing the plant
with the right to purchase at any

The deal between the Home

at meeting of the board OF
directors of the American Re-

president of the Homestake, re-

dispatched five tank cars now
available to Sunburst, where
they will load oil from the Illinois
Pipe line. AS soon as the tank

Queen City Officials
Arrive This Week
Muking Preparations to Drill
On Their Acreage Near
Aloe Holdings

Messers w. D. Craig, Fred
Sommerville, Fred Barber and
C. C. Cross, all of Regina, Sask.,
and who are officers Of the Queen
City Oil company, arrived ! n
Kevin Monday to consult their
field manager, Mr.. Coulter, and
to make preparations to COM
mence drilling their acreage ad-
joining the Aloe holdings in "a,
which is only a short distance
from Kevin. These gentlemen
seem to be very much enthused
over the field, and they will be-
gin at once, to rig up on two To-
cations and will rush both wells
to early compilations. The officials
o f this concern feel confident
that they will find production on
their acreage, and while as yet
they have not offered any stock
for sale, it is likely that they will
open offices here soon and put a
certain amount of their stock on
the market. 1t is the expecta-
tions Of this company to do a
great deal of developing in the
Kevin field this year, the Review
can we'll say that it is their be-
lief that this company is compos-
ed Of men that will do the right
thing by all who buy stock in
their enterprise.
Two of these officials left We'd
nesday for their homes, while
the others will remain until ar
rangements are made for drifting.

Neze "Puick =

Hienie Beilen, who has dispos-
ed of his restaurant, has purchas-
ed a "Puick" car. Hienie seems
to think that he should use his
residence for garage, or rather
the "Puick" thinks so, and
Hienie just let it have its own
way about it. Just after purchas-
ing this beast Hienie decided to
take it home, but when he got
there the "Puick" wanted to go
right on into the house and did
not stop for the glass door that
was in its way. Not being able
to get control of the animal,
Hienie secured the services of
Sam Donaldson, and Sam tried
to cool the vicious animal down
and just as Sam thought he had
it going and was going to tnrn
around the dog-gone thing hit
the side of the road and came
near upsetting them in a water
hole. Outside of minor bruises
which Mrs. Beilen got from
broken glass, the rest came out
unharmed.

as undoubtedly it will prove to
be one of the best in the field.

ject as an experiment, but have
considerable confidence in ths
outcome as engineering surveys
have been made, as well as tests
| of the product.
The present engineering staff
of the refinery will be retained
by the Homestake Oil company
in operating the test on the refin-
cry, Mr.. Peters said.
1t is understood that the inter
est Of the Homestake Oil COM
pany in the northern oil field was
as much factor in trying out
the operation of the refinery as
was the possibilities of the re-
fnery itself. The crude from the
northern field has never been
given an extended refining test
and the result Of operation of the
American Refining company
plant will be important for that
reason.
The crude to be delivered to
the refinery a t this time will
amount to about 1,200 barrels
and the daily run Of the refinery
is expected to be about 400 or
800 barrels a day.
While no announcement was
made in this connection, it is
thought possible that the taking
over of the plant by the Home
stake may mean that, that COM
pany will affect a blend of Cat
Creek and Kevin oil for refining
purposes, the Homestake in TAX
ing over the plant assures none
of the liabilities of the refining
company and that the rental is
based upon the profits of the
plant under operation. The
Homestake will not affect a sales
but will sell the
product directly to brokers.
The Homestake is one of the
most successful Of the Montana
organizations that have entered
