Less Bunk and More
Reduction i'm Taxation

The farmers Of Saltwater coun.
ty are right. They demand re-
lief from too high land assess
ments. They've been stuffed
with bunk too long already.
Their demand for reduction
of one-third in the assessed val
uation Of farm lands in Montana
is based upon the fact that these
lands will not produce upon the
basis of existing assessed valua-
tions.
Stripped to the bone, that's the
truth.
They have just made the de-
mand upon the state board Of
If it is denied they
propose to make up a test case
for the state supreme cour t.

farmers everywhere, in public
and in every other pos
sible way.
In this connection farmers ev-
should sign the petit
tions to initiate a fair mine tax
law. When the big mines are
made to pay their fair share of
taxes there will be less for
squandering on the bright light
Of Broadway.
But get busy, too, in support
ing the farmers of Saltwater
county in their fight for land tax
reduction. Sam w. Teagarden,

Kelvin oil Acreage Sold
For Thirty Thousand

Charles d. Emmons, president
of the C. l.. Emmons Oil syndi-
cate, announces upon his return
from Kalispell, the sale Of $50
acres Of land in fee to Minneapo-
lis parties through the Adams
Anderson investment company
of that city. The transfer is
made to DR.. Caine Of Minneapo-
lis. The land is described as the
swAsNnwA Of 5 and seAsH-
neA of 6-34-1w, and is part of
the ranch Of Jean Hasquet and
wife of Shelby, Mont. The orig
inal owners reserve from the sale
6 per cent Of the oil and gas
rights, 8 per cent Of which was
bought last year by Kalispell par
ties and decided at that time TO
Theo. Torbenson, trustee, who is
president of the Bank Of Com
merce of that city. The c. L.
Emmons syndicate recently COM
pleted the purchase of the sur
face right and made the above
sale Of the whole property. 1t is
that the purchasers
contemplate turning this land ov-
er to several Twin City syndi-
Gates who will develop the acre
age by drilling. While the con-
sideration was not made public,
it is understood to be around $780,
900, which comes to $62.50 per
acre.
This land is quite favorably
situated in regard to value for
oil land. 1t lies between the g.

Several Of the Kevin boys
started out to attend the prize
fight at Shelby Saturday night,
and we suppose that most of them
succeeded in getting there, but
from the effects of the fight or
an accident of one Buick car ov-
erturning, there are at least two
of the boys that are walking a.
roud on crutches. For the bene-
fit Of our readers, we publish the
story of the trip, handed in to US
by one Of the Reviews special
reporters, the editor not being
able to attend. THE story follows.
Dean Jonnscof., OF the Metro
politan Hotel of Cut Bank, arriv-
ed in Kevin Saturday afternoon
with instructions to gather up
officials for the prize fight at
Shelby. He stopped at the Hub
Cafe and secured the proprietor,
and gave him instructions to
gather up three more parties,
who are at the present time go
ing by the names Of White"
Long, 0. D. Crawford and Heinie
Bielen. Mr.. Crawford agreed to
be referee, Mr.. Bielen, time
keeper, and Mr.. Long took the
job of introducing the partici-
pants.
THE fight was to start 80 min
utes after we left Kevin. but to
the fact that we had a fast car,
and not slow driver, that we
would not delay the fight.
I'VE were travelling along like
would - in a hurry and
on a good, straight road, and
would have got along all right if
we hadn't come to a turn in the
road. The turn didn't stop MIR.
Crawford from talking, nor did
t stop Mr.. Bielen from being ex-
,ited. but it did SLOW up our trip
o Shelby a bit. All Of the off
,ials finally reported present, and
lfter inspecting our car, which /
proved to be a faithful old boat,
md righting it up with help Of
'ther parties Iassing, the fight
vas not short any necessary Off
ials. All parties on the trip wish
0 express their appreciation to
he faithfulness Of the car and
is driver. 1t brought us all back
0 our home doors, and then the
ngine dropped out Of the car"

/ Z. G. Platt, geologists of The
Kevin field and head Of the North
ern Oil Information bur e i
doubts that the contract let by
the Potlach-Adanns people to w.
E. Burks for drilling a 1000 feet
test well in ne-ne-nw, 2l-34-1w,
is ia proper location for Il deep
test and his reasons are of inter-
est as given in the current bu-
reau of publication.
The rig and camp are already
on the location this we'll should
oe spudded in some time this
week. There is considerable diff
ference of opinion on what deep
test in this field will find, and al
$50 where test Of this nature
Ishould be located. There is no
doubt but that this well is locat-
ed on the high point of the struc-
ture, and from a geological stand
point this is the logical location
for deep test, but at the same
time the few wells that have
been drilled in this area have not
shown up very well in either the
Sunburst or Ellis sands, and a
good many people think that a
test of this nature should be To-
Gated where the big production
has been found, in or around the
Baker and Howling tracts. AS
no well has ever been drilled to
this depth in this field before,
and as the only cross sections of
the formations below the Ellis
that are exposed so that they can
be examined are from 100 to 200
miles away not only the thick
ness but the general characteris-
tics may vary greatly. The Troy
Sweetgrass-Stockman's National
Bank we'll (well No. 250) was
drilled to 2,606 feet with a diam
Ond core drill and they will have
this to guide them to that depth,
from then on it will be more or
less of a wild cat well. There
was a well drilled by the Power

BY JOE WILLIAMS

Michigan City, Ind, May 28.-
Georges Carpenter has the best
straight right-hand wallop in the
boxing game.
Three years ago the Frenchman
hit Jack Dempsey on the chin with
this blow and sent him skidding
across the ring.
For a fraction of a second it look
ed as if the heavyweight champion
ship of the world would go across
the ocean. Carpenter underweighed
by 20 pounds, followed with another
straight right which missed by an
eyelash. Dempsey clinched, the bell
gongcd and what promised to be
the most dramatic episode in the
history of boxing remained unwrit-
ten. This same Carpenter is back
in the states, still carrying the best
straight right hand in the ring. On
May 81 he meets Tommy Gibbons
here in l0-round bout.
The St. Paul Irishman probably
has as fine left hook as any fight
or the game has known in years.
In the second round of his fight with
Dempsey at Shelby last summer
Gibbons hooked the champion TO the
body.
1t was the most telling punch he
landed during the fight. Dempsey
drew up his right leg as evidence
of the pain he suffered and his

! find that fast ball delivered
with Il natural motion is easiest on
the arm. That may sound strange,
yet the throwing of the curve or
slow ball takes much more out of the
arm.
Like control. change of pace can
be acquired. Throwing the slow one
is more difficult for some pitchers
than others. This is due to the
fact that they are forced to change
their style.
A slow ball is not really effective
unless delivered with the same mo-
ton as the fast one.

soft ones. / have found that in a
pinch some of the so-caled weak
hltters are far more dangerous than
many battcrs with fatter average
| find ieft-handed batters more
troublesome on the whole than those
who hit from the right side of the
plate. A majority of the left hand
ers play more baseball, work the
pitcher harder.

Billy Evans Says

1t is baseball tradition that every
ball club has its jinx pitcher.
Often some pitcher rated just
ordinary, always works like a stat
when pitted against club figured
as pennant contender.
There is no way Of explaining it.,
it just happens.
"All that pitcher needs is his glove
to beat u.s. is an oft heard remark
when club faces a pitcher regard
ed as a ink.
Unquestionably,. psychology plays
part in the situation. Once a
pitcher meets with unusual success
against a certain club the mem be RS
o. that team start to give up the
moment he is announced Eas the
pitcher. " M.
That Of course is big advantage
on the side, of the pitcher. A team
that figures it, has only slim
chance to win prior to the start of
the game is 80 per cent beaten be-
fcre the contest gets under way.

credit over the Athletics in little
over one season.
Last season Ehmke was traded
by Detroit to Boston. He had a
big year with tail-cnd club, was
one of the pitching stars of the
American League.
The Philadelphia Athletics were
Ehmke's one best bet. During the
1923 campaign he beat Mack's team
five times. In one game he shut
the Athletics out without run or
hit. ,
The big fellow was certainly poi
son to the Mackmen in every game
that he faced them. The announce
ment that Ehmke was going to
pitch for Boston caused no rejoicing
among the Athletics.
That the old hoodoo is still doing
business, was made manifest in the
first game Ehmke pitched against
Mack's team this year. Boston
won, II to 0.
A week or so later Ehmke was
again sent against the Mackmen. I
happened to be umpiring the game.
Sitting on the Athletics bench
prior to the start of the contest l
heard such comments as these from
the Athletic players:
There's the old jinx getting
ready"
Wonder if We will ever beat that
long string?'

since I have been in the league"
