the two statesmen and challenge to
the British premier from his French
colleagues.

HIS MAJESTY THE
AMERICAN VOTER

1t was November the 4th, the day
on which tn eAmerican citizens went
thru the pantOmine of political demo-
cracy and ratifying the Wall Street
choice of a president.
/ was walking down a street in
enc of ChicagO's semi-residental,
semi-manufacturing districts. 1t was
close to one o'clock AS I passed a
restaurant, the door swung open and
a man hurried out, bumped into me.
He was a middle aged man dressed
in rough working clothes. Scarcely
taking the time to mutter "beg par
don" he strobe down the walk ahead
of me. Half way down the block he
turned into a polling place, stopping
however to accept all the campaign
literature which the poll watchers
were handing out. AS l came Up
to the polling place l stopped and
glanced inside. The man was stand
ing by the election judges evidently
having his registration looked up
This done he was handed ballot and
motioned to a seat. Voting seemed
to be a matter of great pride with
him for ne held his head high and
carried himself cfficiously. He took
his seat next to three other men who
were also waiting to vote. There
were three voting booths in the place
and all were occupied. Several min
utes passed. The polling booths were
emptied and re-occupied and only the
object of my curiousity and gaze was
left. With pride and self importance
written on his face he waited. Sud
denly a siren whistle from nearby
factory rent the air. The waiting
voter jumped simultaneously with it.
His expression of pride and self i'm
portance vanished to be replaced by
one Of agitation, alarm and irresOlu-
ton. For a few seconds he hesitated,
then cast his precious ballot back on
the table whence it had come and then
dashed for the door. Coming out on
the sidewalk he nearly upset as he
negotiated a steep right turn in the
direction of the factory and broke in
to an undignified lope.

found to indicate the possibility that
two entirely new producing fields have
been added to MOntana's petroleum
territory.
At the Glenhoma well, on the Oil
Springs structure west of Buffalo, the
showing is so strong that the own
ers regard the hole as genuine pro-
ducuer, while at the Mountain Chief,
northeast Of Browning, a light Tub
ricating OF has been discovered that
gives the operators much encourage
ment.
The Glenhoma well encountered oil
at 1926 feet and was Immediately shut
down to await the arrivalw of cas-
ing. There is much water in the hole
and it was the opinion of the owners
that further drilling without casing
might ruin the well G. G. Torger-
son of Minnesota has been at the well
since drilling was resumed a short
time ago and other officials of the
company will see it drilled in when
the casing is in place.
The oil found in the Browning well
was in very small quantities and was
discovered while cleaning out the hole
Samples of the product were sent .tc
Portland, where the Mountain chief
company has its headquarters, and
word was received Friday that the oil
is high grade lubricant. The bit
now is in the KoOtenai sand, from
which a considerable quantity Of oil
has raised in the hole since operations
were stopped
A car of fuel oil is on the tracks at
Browning and will be moved 10 ire
well as soon as possible so that drill
| ling may be resumed. Another com
pany has arranged to drill on the
Browning structure early next spxing
This well will be put down near to
Mountain Chief.
The Browning structure was leased
in 1920 by James Regain of Great
Falls, who still retains an interest in
the land. With H. B. Lake and T.
N. Waller holds a 212 per cent int :.
est in the land he leased Regain
turned his leases over to 7O'Neill
brothers, now of Sunburst who an
tered into a drilling agreement with
