More Money Needed to Beauti- fy Pomfret South Burial
 Ground
However. Work Will Be Started in
 Spring-Renew Appeal

The campaign which has been in progress throughout the winter tc raise an Improvement Fund for the restoration of the Pomfret South cemetery. long lying in a state of pa thetic neglect, though one of the old. est and most famous in Connecticut and the resting place of the founders of many famous families, has proceed ed with very considerable success, A circular letter, asking for ten dollars detailing the officers of the organiza. ton and setting forth the plans for the forthcoming improvements. has been sent to all those who have kitf or kin there and are therefore vitally interested in the work.
 The collecting of the addresses and the tracing of descendants has been . tremendous piece of work. and is still in progress, and any information that will lead to further identitica. ton of relatives will be heartily wei. come.
 Generous Response
 The committee are glad to report that a cordial response has been made to the modest call for ten dollar, and quite considerable sum-thougf still short of the s2,000 aimed at-i, already on deposit at the Putnam bank, ready to be devoted to the laudable work of caring for the neg lected graves. A few. however. tC whom the circular letter has been sent have not responded and it is sincerely hoped that within the next few day: this matter will be recalled to theii minds and they will fall in line witf the rest. It would be very gratify. ing if the matter of support was made unanimous and then everybody would feel that they were really a part oi the cemetery corporation and that they had helped in the good work oi restoration and paid respect to those of their line who sleep in this hallowed ground. It would he keen satisfac. ton for the future years.
 The endeavor to obtain the balance of the S2.000 will be kept up through. out the summer, as fast as new ad. dresses can be compiled and old famil. ies traced. Within a year it is hoped the cemetery will be provided with iron gates and fine gravelled drive way.

WANT TO TRY CASE
O'Lesry vs. Delage May Go to Trial
 Next Month

One of the cases which may come before the civil session of the superior court in the March term is that which concerns the building on Main street in which the A. and P. store is located The title for this property was con ferred several years ago to the late Remi Delage by Mrs. Margaret O. Leary, the purchase price being sl1,- 900. Later attorneys, representing Mrs. O'Leary and her conservator claimed that the transfer was illegal. This is denied by the defense.
 Attorneys for Mrs. 0'Leary claim that when she made the deal she was not mentally competent to do so, and that whereas the price paid for the building by the purchaser, MT. Delage was ST ,000, it's real value was in the neighborhood of S16,000.
 The case promises to come to trial shortly, after a long delay, caused by various obstacles to the trial of the case. Mrs 0'Leary is now in Ire land, and in such a weakened mental condition that the only way in which attorneys have been able to build up her case is in dispositions obtained from time to time. MT. Delage was killed in an automobile accident in May of last year. and his widow, Mrs. Valerie Delage, will now undertake the defense of the case, she having been so cited by the plaintiffs.
 It is understood that the plaintiff will attempt to recover rents received from the occupants of the building since it has been in the possession of the Delage estate, and also to re- cover the difference between the price paid for it, and the value that the plaintiff says it actually had.

Protective Legislation
Is Very Much Needed

From present indications the
oil industry bids fair to become
one Of the leaders in the state Of
Montana, and such being the case
it is strange that no steps have
been taken to protect this vast
source of wealth. Practically ev-
cry state in the union, producing
oil have laws governing the pro-
lection of the oil and gas lands
from the invasion of water which
is the greatest menace to any
field. More than one we'll in this
field that encountered small a.
mount of oil were drilled into
water and abandoned without
adequate measures being taken
to shut off the water to protect
the oil sands.
1t is rumored that one Of the
best producing sections OF the
field is in danger of ruination
from this cause which will mean
the loss Of untold wealth.
in regard to the federal lands
Of the state the laws of protec-
tive plugging exists as in other
states, but of what avail can this
be when there is no such law
governing private holdings.
Can the state of Montana afford
to jeopardize this growing INDUS
try by an attitude Of indifference
to this well known danger?
Laws are needed for the pro-
lection of the oil and gas fields
Of this state and it is time that |
law makers take heed of the
need and bring some legislation
to bear to the end of eliminating
the grave danger.

In California Field
This Statement is Mode BY

Absence of Some Months

Lorens Lorenson, an old time
Kevinite, but who has been in
California and Mexico for the
past few months, arrived home
Tuesday. Lorens says that he is
glad to get back, and that he ap-
preciates the Kevin oil field more
than ever since his trip. He
states that the oil production in
California is decreasing at a rap
id pace, and that California peo-
pie are all talking Montana, and
the Kevin field. Mr..
Lorenson says that while he was
there one big California company
erecting an S80,000.00 refinery
and when they completed it that
they found themselves without
any oil to refine. He says that
before the summer is over that
Kevin will see many big operat-
ors here from that country, but
that the majority of them are
against the twenty year lease,
and are willing to take leases on
shorter terms.

Montana Giant Adding
Additional Equipment

A large air compressor is be-
ing installed at the Montana
Giant, also an electric generator.
The compressor will furnish air
for agitating gasoline and kero-
sene which is being treated in
their large agitator. Car load
orders are being received for ker-
osene which calls for additional
eondensing coils which are al
most completed. A car of gaso-
line recently shipped the Great
Northern, tested several points
better than Standard u. S. re-
Quirements.

Grass-McDonald No. 3, just spud-

Kevin is having its share of
fires lately, it seems, the record
showing two for the past week.
The first one occurred at the Ke-
vim hotel at a late hour Saturday
night, when flames were discov-
cred in the linen room. Howev-
Ier, it was distinguish quick, and
without doing but very little
damage. 1t is not known how
the fire originated.
The second one occurred on
Tuesday morning when flames
were discovered coming from the
Kevin Club, located just North
Of the Kevin Hotel. The alarm
was turned in at about 4 o'clock
and on arrival at the building it
was found that the structure was
on fire on the south corner, un-
derneath the building, but it was
distinguished without very much
damage being done. In this case
it looks like the building had been
set on fire, as there was found
where the burning flames were
coming from, a bundle of old
rags, consisting Of old pants and
ladies wearing apparals, done up
in q bundle and tied with hay
wire and saturated with kero-
sene. The guilty parties are not
known, but Kevin is indeed fort
unate, for had it not been for the
timely arrival of help and thru
the fire extinguishers which the
Kevin Civic Club have installed,
it is evident that the greater part
of the city would have been de-
stroyed. 1t is hoped that the
guilty parties will be found and
that they will have to pay the
penalty which they deserve, not
only were they destroying prop
erty, but had the fire got head
way, several lives were in dan
ger.

but which does not show any

of sulphur water an hour, and
abandoned the well. According
to their log they had small show
ings Of oil from 1880 to 1910,
and 1868 to 1850. Some oil and

more showings Of gas from g.

cred was as follows: At Is feet,
heavy flow at $40 feet; some be-
tween 1,100 and 1925 feet and
heavy flow of sulphur water at
2,085 feet; and more sulphur
water at the bottom of hole, in a
soft. sandy shale. The above log
has been described because it
shows that below the lime there
is a very good chance to get a
good sand, and that apparently
there is not much hope of a sand
until the lime has been drilled.
1t must be remembered that this
well is over 100 miles from the |

that the location of the Potlatch
