uSd VI OIL. Every
town and city in northern Mon
tana has felt the beneficial effects
from these expenditures. Thous-
ands of people have profited d.
rectly-many Of them most sub
stantially because Gordon Camp
bell, recently indicted by a fed
eral grand jury, did what no
other man had the faith and the
courage to do, drilled for oil
and found it. What the Kelvin
oil field is actually worth, it lies
not in the mind of any person to
even estimate. It embraces al
ready one hundred ninety thous-
and acres of proven oil land. That
will mean an ultimate expendi-
ture of at least one hundred mill
lion dollars. Hundreds of mil
lions of dollars will be received
for the oil thus recovered. This
will be clean, new wealth wealth
taken from Natures storehouse
and its creation will all be due to
the toll and the sacrifice and the
vision of the man recently indict-
ed by a federal grand jury. up
there at Great Falls. This news
paper does not undertake to ex-
cuse any mistakes which the dis
coverer of the Kelvin oil field may
haye made following the realiza-
ton of his dreams, the consum-
nation of efforts splendidly made
in the face of obstacles which
would have defeated the purpose
of anybody except an ''impracti-
cal dreamer" The same quality
which enabled him to keep on
drilling, to face the satire Of
scoffers, the sneers of unbeliev-
ers, the detractions of ''practi-
folks, may haye made him
the easy victim of the adventer-
ous promoter. The stakes in the
realm of oil are so alluring that
men will dare much-even to the

HE DISCOFERED AN OIL
FIELD

Grand juries may indict ano
courts may try and even. convict
but all of the processes of jurors
and courts can never cause thous-
ands of Montanans to forget that
it was the fanatical vision and
the logged perseverance of Cor
don Campbell that made possible
one of the most stirring develop
ments in the history of the Am
erican oil industry. The tangible
tribute to his faith and his works
is found in the one hundred forty
one producing wells in the Kelvin
field in Toole county, Montana,
and in the developed plans to drill
hundreds, probably thousands. of
additional wells on lands already
proven to be oil bearing. In March
1922, northern Toole county was
a barren waste. a rolling, gopher
infested stretch of country dot

sterile soil. Today that s a m e
northern portion of Toole county
is the most valuable land to be
found in all Montana. Mortgages
on hundreds Of former home
steads have been paid off. De-
linquent taxes to the amount of
tens of thousands Of dollars have
been eagerly liquidated. Thriving
towns have sprung up to take
the place of struggling, squalid,
hopeless villages. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been
paid for lands which were moi

against them in other days. Mil

NEW TROLLEY FARE
| SCHEDULE GRANTED
JACKSONVILLE LINES

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, May 12.-
The present schedule of carfares
charged by the Jacksonville Traction
company do not yield a fair return
upon the fair value Of the property,
the state railroad commission ruled
Saturday in an order handed down
granting a new schedule of fares to
become effective June /.
E. J. TRAY, receiver for the COM
pany, was authorized by the order
to put into effect the following sched-
ule Of fares:
(a) City lines (all lines except
Camp Johnston line).
Unlimited weekly pass, each 1925.
This pass to entitle the bearer to
transportation at any time of day
on any of the cars operated by the
company, and shall be put on sale
at convenient points and on all cars
in operation at least two days before
the beginning OF the week
Seven days. in which it is good for
transportation.
Token fare, OF. when purchased
in quantities of at least five; such
tokens to be sold on all cars in OPP
eration)
Cash fare, 10. applicable to pas
sengers who do not avail themselves
of the unlimited pass or token
fares.')
Special School Fare
School ticket, .04. (When pur-
chased in books of at least ten tick
cts. Good for children going and
returning from school on school
days)
Children under five years of age,
accompanied by a person paying
fare, shall be permitted to ride free.
All provisions as to transfers now
in force shall continue.
(b), Camp Johnston line. All fares,
transfers and regulations now in eff
feet, applying to Camp Johnston
line and Camp Johnston cars, under
authority Of order No. 707, dated De-
cember ,, 1920, of the commission,
continue in force.
(c). Special service. Tariffs COW
ering special and chartered car serV-
ice now in effect shall continue with
out change.
The commissioners ere OF the
opinion that flat increase in fares
is of doubtful eXpediency," the order
|. stated, lin that such flat increase
would likely cause a material de.
crease in the traffic of said COM
pany and a consequent material
falling off of its operating revenue.
Casual Riders Taxed
eve are impressed with the fact,
made plain from the record of this
case, that a considerable volume Of
travel is being diverted from said
street railway by private automo-
biles, and it would seem that some
schedule of street car fares that
would encourage the more frequent
/ riders to use the street railway reg
ularly and provide a more reason.
able charge for the casual or infre,
quent riders might increase street
car riding and add to the revenues
of said company.
we have concluded that the So
called weekly pass coupled with
a proper token and cash fare, gives
promise of affording additional reve-
nue. through stimulating travel, and
at the same time prove more salts

The order issued today by the
commission followed two hearings
held in Jacksonville when both sides
were heard on the proposal for =
readjustment in the traction fares
there.

tons:
Exempt theater admission of so

tax, loss of revenue, $33,000,000; cut
in half five per cent tax on auto
mobile tires and tubes, loss of reve-
nue., $21,O00,000; exempted auto

sell for less than 1000, loss of reve-
nue., S5,OO0,000 cut in half tax on
produce exchange sales, loss of reve-
nue., $4,000,0 900.
Some differences in excise rate
reductions are to be worked out in
conference.
The house proposed to exempt
from the jeWelry tax all articles sell
ing for $40 or less. The senate cut
this down to $25. Both bodies agreed
however, to exempt from the ta1
watches selling for $50 or less.
Nah JOng Sets Taxed
A fifty per cent cut ordered by the
| house in the tax on billiard, poo
tables and bowling alleys, was re-
iected by the senate.
The senate voted to increase from
to 10 per cent the tax on all coin
operated machines. An increase also
was voted by the senate in some OF
the brokers' seat taxes.
A new tax of ten per cent on man
iongg sets was inserted by the sen
ate.
The contest in the conference on
the income tax schedule will be
principally fight to put party
label on the publication. These rates
vary only slightly, but the Demo
Gratis obtained credit for the sched
ule adopted by the senate while the
house plan was adopted by a strict
ly Republican vote.
The normal rates in the senate
bill are two per cent incomes under
$4,000; four per cent on incomes be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 and per
cent above $4,000 The house pro-
vided similar rates except five per
cent on incomes between $4,000 AND
$4,000.
On surtaxes the house voted fol-
a flat % per cent cut in existing
rates, making the maximum " L.
per cent on incomes over $2OO,OOU
The minimum rate would be mace
! 11-2 per cent on incomes of $4,000.
| The Simmons surtax schedule
! adopted by the Democratic-Repu
an insurgents vote in the enate
would start with l per cent at $40,
900 and graduate to 3S per cent al
$500, 900, with two additional brack
cts bringing the maximum to 40 pei
cent on incomes over 100000. These
rates vary little more than l pei
cent throughout the scale from the
house plan, being slightly smaller
| on the lower incomes, about the
same on incomes between $4,000
and $4,000, and slightly higher or
| the larger incomes.

primitive methods, with no seed Sc
lection, grown according to laws of
nature by ignorant farmers, left to
defend itself against pests and dis
eases, ginned in badly working saw
gins that break and tear the lint.
Yet it has always maintained. the
third place in the cotton market.
OF all countries that grow cotton
under such primitive methods, north
east Brazil is the one that produces
the best cotton. This means that
the mesological conditions of the re-
gion are the best possible, are ideal
for cotton growing
A sample of cotton grown in the
Jaguaribe Valley which of the
State of Ceara Is considered the
best adapted to the growth Of cot
ton, for no other region has ever
produced so beautiful staple as
this sample measuring SIS MILL
meters G. 5-32 inches) in length.
This sounds like a fairy tale but
is amply substantiated, grown by
the methods outlined above, in 9th
err words grown almost by nature
alone and almost without the aid
of man.
The yield of cotton in Ceara is
quite astounding taking into con-
sideration the method of cultivation
or rather the lack of it, for here as
much as 700 pounds of lint are
grown per acre and on irrigated
land two crops can be grown year
ly, one during the rainy season, usu-
ally from January to June, the 9TH
er by irrigation in the dry season.
On the irrigated land in the district
Of "Quixada," which is considered
the poorest land in the whole state,
a yield of 9S6 pounds per acre was
obtained.
On account of the wonderful eli
mate, the extreme fertility of the
soil, on which no fertilizer of any
sort has ever been used and in all
probability never will be used. if
modern farming machines were
used in cultivating the crop. good
seed selection made, good gins and
presses used, a tremendous crop of
cotton could be produced in the
state of Ceara, especially so as the
Dor for production is cheap, con-
tented and efficient.
Again quoting President Albano:
eff we adopt in Ceara seed selec-
ton and of attacking diseases, prop
er roller gins, finally all the science
and care taken in the cultivation of
the best American and Egyptian cot
tons, we shall produce the finese
cotton in the world, superior to Sea
Island"
