DECKER TO DRILL CLOSE
TO PRODUCING WELLS

Acquisition of what is generally
recognized as potentially the most
valuable forty-acre tract in Kelvin
Sunburst field was announced this
week by Jack Decker, well-known
Montana operator, who purchased
for the Vanmeer Oil Syndicate the
southeast quarter of the southeast
quarter of section 4-35-2 west. This
forty offsets two of the largest wells
in the field: the Shoshone-Storm No.
2 and the Sweetgrass-Norem No. @,
each rated at around 1000 barrels
flush.
The Vanmeer Oil syndicate is fin
anced chiefly by Sweetgrass people
Bob" Vanmeer, Jack Decker and
Bill CIV. M Mansfield are trustees,
the latter two drilling contractors of
wide experience. Jack Decker is in
charge as field manager. The com
pany is dealing for other acreage and
will start work on the Storm permit
lease in the next two weeks.
The syndicate is capitalized at
$4,000, in units of $25 each. The
lease was purchased from E. N.
Smith of Great Falls. Several oper-
ators were dealing for this forty,
which appears to be in an area of
large production.

HAS THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTION:

DIR. IRONSIDE, THE BUTTE DENTIST,
HAS THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTION:
I would like to call the readers
attention to my dental advertisement
in this issue. We have special SER
vice for patients from out OF town.
1t is simply this: we start your work
as soon as you arrive at the office and
keep constantly at it until completed
so that your time will not be taken
up any more than is absolutely ne
cessary to complete in first class
shape. Then again all work is done
by expert men under my personal SUI
pervision. The department where
the sets of teeth are made is in
charge of DR.. Frank j. Carmody, one
of New York's greatest mechanical
experts. He has made over 1900
sets of teeth since entering my en-
ploy, and l know he has no superior.
You who are contemplating sets of
teeth or those who have now sets
that do not look natural, off color,
and that do not give the cheeks and
lips the proper contour, will find an
everlasting delight with teeth made
by him.
If you are entitled to any one
thing on earth it is beautiful set
of teeth, and they are made only by
specialists such as Is DR.. Carmody.
We have made over 5000 sets in
Butte-That speaks for itself. The
best is the cheapest and most salts
factory in the long run.

certain that every member of the
committee who attended the meeting
was thoroughly impressed with the
firm determination upon the part o.
the officers of this corporation tt
make it a real instrument of relief
to the banking and agricultural in.
terests of the northwest.
Garry Certificates
1.-THE committee set aside 81 ,000,.
900 for the purpose of taking up de-
linquent tax certificates upon ranches
and farms and of carrying such GER
tificates for a reasonable time at a
rate of per cent. A committee is
to be appointed in each county of the
state to have charge of this work,
to consist of one banker and the
county agent or the head of the farm
bureau or the head of the farmers
union or a representative farmer.
Sam McKennan, president of the
Union Bank & Trust company of Hell
ena, and A. t. Hubbard, secretary of
the Montana Bankers association,
were appointed to select the banker
in the various counties, and w. L..
Stockton, state president of the Farm
bureau and w. ]. Hopper, state pres
ident of the Farmers union, were ap-
pointed a committee to work in con-
junction with McKennan and Hib-
bard to select these county commit
tees.
ut is also the intention of the cor
poration, in due season, to outline it's
policy for extending further relief to
men engaged in farm and agricul-
tural pursuits in this territory.
Minneapolis Headquarters
All applications for relief will
have to be entered with the home Of

tee, the following business men were
also appointed: o. S. Warden, Great
Falls; G. H. Mcleod, Missoula; and
9. E. Brown of Miles City. To rep
resent agricultural interests, w. L.
stockton, w. J. Hopper, and John
Harris of Fort Benton, were named.
'sThe delegates, therefore, who
vent to Minneapolis, together with
he additional gentlemen named will
constitute permanent standing adj
visory committee to supply any infor-
nation that may be required by the
committee at Minneapolis

Dairying Increases in RichIand

Statistics compiled from local
cream buying stations show the total
gross dairy products income of Rich
land county to be $4,000 for 1928.
Figures received from the same sour
ces totaled $4,000 in 1920.
That dairying is on the increase is
attested to by merchants selling sep
arators and cans. 1t is the opinion
of these merchants, that locally, the
the dairying industry is but in its in
fancy. More or less successful wheat
farmers, who have always said they
would not take it up, are noticed to
be quietly assembling a herd.
That the total volume will double
in 1924 is the opinion of the mana
gers of the local creamery stations
and they are preparing their plants
for that increase.

How Poultry Paws

Ninety-six dozen eggs, brought in
this week to Milestone by G. B. Carey

ton of his poultry plant, tell an in
teresting story that could be repeat

the American legation has received
no communication of any sort from
Yoshizawa on the subject of Kara
khan's rejection of the American
note.
1t developed today that Yoshazawa
was forced into the position of senior
diplomat to- handle the main accept
ance note of the diplomatic corps on
account of the absence of Sir Ronald
MacLeay. British minister, who re-
turned to Peking the day after the
reservations had been sent to Kara
Khan by Yoshizawa. The task de-
volVed upon YoShizawa after the re-
ply of the italian government to the
proposal to turn the legation over
to the Soviet was received. Immedi-
ate1y a meeting OF the diplomatic
corps was called before Sir Ronald's S
return and Yoshizawa found himself
in the position of senior diplomat.
1t was YoshiZawas idea to embody
the American reservations in a sep
arate note. it was said today, since
representatives of other countries
present gave no indication Of max
ing similar reservations
The attitude of the American 1e-
cation today was that its duty was
accomplished when Ambassador Kara
khan became apprised of the atti-
tude of the Washington Government
and that no further comment would
be forthcoming.

CONDITIONS OF j. S.
SPURNED BY SOVIET
Formal Word Awaited on
Transfer of Old Russian
Legation at Peking.
BY the Associated Press.

PEkING, August 20.-MemberS of
the Japanese legation here held a long
conference today in an effort to reach
d decision as to what disposition
should be made of the communication.
now held by *. Yoshizawa, japanese
minister and senior diplomat al Peking
from J.. NJ. karakhan, Russian ambas-
sador to China, in which the Soviet
representative refused to accept con-
ditions laid down by the United States
Minister as a member of the diplomatic
corps. in turning the Russian legation
over to the Soviet government.
The reply from karakhan is a direct
answer 10 note sent by the United
States Minister. through YoshiZawa, in
which the American Government
wished the Soviet government to un-
derstand that turning over the old
czarist legation to the Soviet in nowise
constituted recognition of the Soviet
by the United States
The course of the japanese minister
i'll handling the correspondence further
was undetermined after the conference
today. and il was intimated the matter
may be referred TO Toxic.
As result of the uncertainty eX-
listing among the Japanese diplomats,
Evening star., 1924-08-20

Minister the acting dean and senior
diplomat of the Peking diplomatic
body.
No Recognition Involved.
One point understood to have been
strongly emphasized by Minister
Schurman and reiterated after his de-
parture by Edward Bell. counselor
of the American legation, Is that
before the diplomatic. body agreed to
return the properties sought by the
Soviet government it should be un-
derstood beyond all doubt that moth
ing that transpired in that connection
should be considered as implying
recognition of the Soviet. and in ad-
dition, that the Soviet should accept
full responsibility for the enforce
ment of all provisions contained in
the protocol.
Another phase of the situation puz-
Zllng representatives Of the dfDlo-
matte body is the probable arrival in
Peking of Soviet troops once the
properties sought have been surren-
dered to the MOSCOW government 1t
is understood that none of the lega-
tlon authorities is anxious to have
their guards associate with the So
Wet troops or have them in such
close contact as life in the compound
naturally brings about.
Fear Propaganda Spread.
1t is recalled that the United
States refused permission for a Rus
sian commission of experts to visit
TINS country not long ago, taking
the position that the Russian COM
m1ssioners were undesirable, in that
they probably would attempt to
spread Soviet propaganda in this
country. Something of the same fear
IS entertained by Washington Off
Gals in their consideration of the
possibility that should Soviet men
De stationed in the compound with
americans and other soldiers
IL Is pointed out, too, that since
all members Of the Peking diplo-
matte body now hold the rank of
minister, the presence of Soviet
ambassador at once would give the
MOSCOW government a senior repre-
sentation in Peking and automatically
cause the transfer of the deanship OF
the corps to Soviet hands. 1t is
the duty of the dean to preside at
all meeting of the diplomatic body,
into whose hands the control of the
compound rests, and which also is re-
sponsible to the various nations for
any joint issue between them and
the Chinese government. This point
! is considered of unusual Importance
just now, as the central government
of China is admittedly a weakened
institution.
