%HE history of the Wilson Co.,, is one of ac-
complishments in the face of conditions
so varied and so changed today that it
is necessary to stop and take a retrospective view
of the past in order to appreciate those attain
ments.
General Lester S. Wilson a pioneer re-
ceived his first inspiration from the famous
speech of Horace Greedy, young man go west
and grow up with the country"
The first store of the Wilson Co. was under
a tent, packing cases served as counters. The
goods were transported overland at great risk
and at tremendous cost. From the very first
the supreme optimism of General Wilson was
reflected in all his dealings and business relation
with his neighbors, his fellow pioneers of the
Territory of Montana. His optism was founded
on an unwavering faith in the future of this
great commonwealth. General Wilson ever
identified his interests with that of the COM
munity and his life from the history of Bozeman
and the Gallatin Valley is inseparable.
The Wilson Co. moved into the present
building in 1903, store modern and progressive
alert and keeping abreast OF the times. The pre-
sent management considers the policy of the
founder a glorious heritage from which they will
never deviate.
We go into this 57th Anniversary celebration
with no idea of immediate profit, but rather that
we may make more acquaintance and cement
those of many years standing. When our buyers
were recently in the market, wholesalers were
unanimous in offering to show their appreciation
of our long standing business with them by max
ing special prices on merchandise for this ceIe-
bration. We wish to give them due credit for
the wonderful values we will offer. The same
standard quality for which this store is known
is embraced in this merchandise and the same
pledge of service goes with every transaction.

Paper From Bananas.

Good paper can be made from ba-
mana refuse. The trash or refuse, con-
sisting of the stems of banana trees
from which the fruit has been cut is
run through crushing rolls, which pro
duces mash in which the moisture
has been reduced from 80 to 55-75 per
cent. A pulping machine reduces the
mixture to pulp and the pulp and juice
are boiled and beaten. The removal
of the fbrous material from the beater
completes the process. in which no
chemical is used.

CONDITIONS FAVOR OIL
IN SOUTHEASTERN IDAHO
RESULT OF INVESTIGATIONS BY
STATE BUREAU OF MINES
AND GEOLOGY.

Two parties from the Idaho bureau
of mines and geology have completed
four months Of intensive field work
in the Bonneville Caribou district
comprising AZ townships in southeast
ern Idaho designed to estimate the
possibilities of finding petroleum
yielding formations in that portion of
the state
Biologists recognize that certain
conditions are essential to oil accumu-
lation. the most important being ma
rine sediments as source for the oil
Other important factors are a reser-
voir or containing rock, an impervious
Gaping rock, suitable structure for
trapping oil or gas, a high water
saturation in the reservoir rock,
sufficient gathering ground for COM
mercial concentration. With these
essentials in mind the bureau made
its examination.
1t was found that approximately
two thirds of the sedimentary forma-
tons present in the area are of marine
origin and small quantities Of pc
shales of some of these formations
in contiguous areas Reservoir or
containing rocks are abundant since
sandstones of all degrees of porosity
are present.
A large number of shales to act as
Gaping rocks are scattered through
out the formations, except auong the
limestones of the paleozoic formations.
Favorable Oil Conditions.
Several large domes, perfect in
shape and amount of closure, and
considered suitable for trapping oil
and gas, were found in the area. These
have been eroded in such manner that
many different horizons may be tested
by the same depth of drilling through
out the area.
A large number of deep seated
springs both hot and coal, furnish
evidence that sufficient ground water
exists to force concentration of any
oil that may exist in the crests and
upper flanks of the structures.
No oil seeps or saturated sands,
were noted during the examination,
which may or may not be construed
as an unfavorable indication. Most
of the area is underlain by formations
of varying depths which are cor
related with productive oil and gas
series in areas throughout the various
fields of Wyoming, Montana and other
Rocky mountain states.
The area is located in eastern Bon
neville county, northwestern Bling
ham county and northern Caribou
county The bureau expressed the
belief that the most likely structures
for drilling were Black mountain,
Bald mountain. Little Elk mountain,
and Big Elk mountain, each one being
a dome corresponding to major topo
graphic features and easily located in
the area.
Topographic and secondary control
work was done by party headed by
A. NJ. Piper of the bureau staff. Geo
logical mapping was under the super
vision of a party in charge of Prof
Virgil r. D. Kirkham of the school
of mines faculty. who supervises the
bureaus work in petroleum geology.
All findings of the two parties are
being assembled in detail for publi-
cation as a bureau bulletin soon.

POWER FOR HILL COMPANY.
Plans to Pipe Air From North Bunker
Hill Plant.


Plans for the installation OF air for
use in power for machine drills are
under consideration by officers of the
Hill Mining company Surveys are
under way for estimate on cost of
pipe line from the North Bunker Hill
power plant, an estimated distance of
5000 feet. The power equipment of
the Lead Blossom property is also
available for use at the Hill tunnel
and estimates will be taken on both
plants. Development work under the
supervision of Thomas Rowland is
proceeding with very encouraging re-
suits. The formation is a very hard
Burke quartzite, making progress by
hand drills rather difficult. Consider
able depth is being obtained as the
tunnel enters the hill and with install
lation of power rapid progress can be
made in reaching a point beneath the
surface workings where values in lead

Copper to Preserve Rope.

Copper applied in a solution of oil
is now being used instead of tar for
preserving rope. Marine pests eat the
tar out of the rope and then devour
the rope itself, but with the copper
impregnated rope there is no damage
resulting from marine pests. The
copper bulks less, weighs less and
costs less to apply than the tar

FREE SMOKERS

The ''I'reemenS League OF Utah IS III
process OF formation as a result OF the M
tensive anti-smoking campaign lately waSed
in the state. The object OF the league is to
work Tor repeal OF anti-cigarette laws and
other laws which are felt to Interfere 'nlduly
with the individual rights OF the people
The formation of this league is the natural
outcome of excessive zeai for the suppre$Sion
OF smoking. The easiest way to Kill any re-
form is to reform ii TO death. Attempts To
legislate the weed out OF the mouths OF
smokers have never got very Tar in any COM
munity, and it is an open question whether
the energy, time and money spent III such
efforts could not be used 20 more constructive
purpose.
There is. however, one exception to these
arguments 1t concerns legislation to forbid
smoking bv minors and the sale OF smoking
materials to them Such laws deserve the
support of' the public, as do all activities
which encourage the young to refrain from
the use to tobacco during their growing years.

EUROPEAN REASONABLENESS

One of the latest converts to policy OF
american helpfulnesS i'll Europe is Senator
Edge. After spending several weeks abroad,
studying foreign conditions, he says:
Il am convinced that conditions i'll Eur
ope are now so acute and in some, cases so
appalling that the necessity for our help and
cooperation will demand and assure an en-
tirey new reception OF our willingness to
sit in if properly manifested
This country'S waiting policy was all
right, he says, while the selfishness OF Eur
opean nations was so manifest and saved
unnecessary complications " But he thinks
that continuation of that policy now would
be too costly to Europe and America both.
And Europe, generally speaking, is so pros
Itrated that the stricken countries -rn,ist and
will now listen to reason
If that time has come, it can hardly delay
much longer, The Old World seems incapa-
bic OF saving itself, and will have to listen to
reason from the. New World if there is to
be any salvation-provided the New World
has anything to submit the reasonableness OF
which will be sef-evident
