LIVESTOCK EXPERIMENT
STATION WILL REPLACE
FAMOUS FORT KEOUGH

According to information recently
made public, one of the largest and
/ most complete experiment stations in
the country is being planned for
Fort Keough, near Miles City. When
fully developed a herd of 1000 cat
tie and two bands of sheep will be
taken care of there for the purpose
of obtaining an economic demon
stration of the best methods of feed
ing, breeding and grazing livestock
and sheep in the state.
The station has $4,000 acres of
range and 5000 acres of cultivab1e
land, and is fully equipped with
barns, silos, feeding corrals and wa
ter, while the range is in the best
of condition. A crew of 35 men has
put up 1000 tons of hay and though
the war department did not relin-
quish the old military reservation and
remount station until the middle of
May, the alfalfa crop was fully saved
when the department of agriculture
took charge.
1t is expected that the station will
be named the Western Livestock Ex-
pertinent station, with the best eff
forts of the different branches being
put into it, and with the forest SER
vice having a major share.

days ago was 20 cents bushel high
er than it was year ago.
There was one particular thing
that I noticed in Montana this year.
Last year when the land men came
out from the east to Montana, inter-
ested in speculation, they found the
business men in the cities discour-
aged and they would not give the vi
sitors any satisfaction. The first
thing the eastern men did was catch
a train for home Now business men
are looking forward to prosperous
times and they encourage farmers
and stockmen in the same way. The
farmer is settling down to divers1fl-
cation and that means prosperity.

own under these circumstances fast

prevailed year ago. The people
of this state are settling down to.
work and they will get returns.

sand at 1,478 feet and because of the
immediate rise of oil no further at
tempt at drilling was made. Inabil-
ity to keep the tools on the bottom
would have prevented deeper drill
ing had it been attempted.
The well is located on what has
come to be known as the Kelvin Fault
zone, a feature of the fields struc-
ture that is developing a great sig
nificance with biologists. The zone
can be traced across the field for a
number of miles, oil men say, and is
having an important bearing in draw
ing conclusions on the geology of the
territory.

Observers Say Stream Spouted 100
Feet in Air; Crew Has Stiff Fight
Placing it in Control; Is Located
ON "Kevin Fault Zone"

A gusher that gives the north
ern Montana oil field rank as re-
giOn of big oil production, the
dream of operators since the Ke-
! vim discovery was brought in. was
completed recently when the Sho-
shone No. 4, section 4-34-2W,
spouted three times as much oil
over the crown block as ever was
measured at any well previously
| drilled-in anywhere in the district.
Operators at the time of the COM
| pletion of this marvel well declined
to estimate the flush production as
it might apply permanently to the
well, but different opinions agreed
that as gusher it could easily be
rated at 10000 barrels. A solid
stream of oil was hurled more than
100 feet above the top of the der
rick and continued without interrupt
ton for As minutes, when the crown
block brought the flow partially I'M

'The Kevin-Sunburst field at last
has what it has been waiting for,
genuine big gusher," L. G. Stevenson
head of the Sunburst interests, stat
ed. 81 would not say that it is a.
10000 barrel well, but I do believe
that it is a 10000 barrel gusher.
Easily three times as much oil as ev-
er was produced by any former com
pletion was forced out of the hole
after the bit broke through the top of
the sand.
A number a thousands of barrels
of oil spilled over the prairie before
the flow could be cut down and when
the control head was in operation the
pressure was so great that it was not
considered wise to shut it entirely
off. Several tanks are on the ground |

it will be possibleto connect the WE'LL

So rapid was the rise of oil in the
casing and SO great was the force of
the oil that the tools were brought
up by the flow faster than they could
be pulled out by the engine, the cable
coming UP slack the entire distance
from the bottom. The first gush of
oil arose in solid stream far over
the top of the derrick and when the
well had hit its stride the height of
he oil reached from 100 to 125 feet
above the crown block.

The new boat has seating capa-
