 A remarkable break for each team almost as the first half ended Tech had made first down 0N Vanderbilts' ;7-yard line. Three line plays still left , yards to go and Wycoff tried goal from placement. It was imperfect and bounded toward the goal line where Reese fumbled and deflected the ball to- ward Hendrix, who als" fumbled, Gard ner recovering for Tech on Vanderbilt $ three-yard line. With golden oppor- tunity to score the touchdown that would have put them ahead, the Yellow Jackets faltered fatally. The pass from the center on the first play found no in position to receive it.

The days of "49" or the scenes

in Kevin at an early hour Thurs
day morning when several Of the
Kevin citizens were awakened
from their slumbers by the loud
shrills of ''44's."
1t seems that a couple of well
known Kevin people had agreed
to disagree and that one of the

SEABR00K is NOW
kelvin OIL KING

The Metzenbaum-S Seabrook No
1, sW sW sW 1852 west, hit the
pay last Friday night about one
p. M, Roy C. Herd drilling the
well in. They did not expect the
Ellis pay until 1858, from the log
of the Campbell-Stewart. The
we'll has been drilled with open
hole all the way. 1t is bailing
about 25 barrels per day, but can
not be completed until 6-inch cas-
has been run. The drillers do not
think they have yet hit the real
pay, as the Campbell well had a
4-foot sand with a little oil, a
number of feet aboye where the
heavy production was reached.
They have not dared to drill into
the present sand for fear of cav
ing, but as soon as the casing is
run, a completion will be made.
Thet situation looks very promis-
ing.
According to officials of the
company, after the well is clean
ed if production does not increase,
the we'll will be shot.

in Denver as though it had been
a discovery in Colorado" said
Mr.. Arthur.
THE general conclusion reach
ed at Denver on Tuesday was
that Montrna is coming through
as a large producing state. Colo
rado and western Kansas had
been raked with a fine tooth
comb in recent months, particu-
larly by men who come in from
California, Oklahoma and Texas,
and these new wells in Montana
mean that a very great number
who cannot find such opportuni-
ties as they seek in Colorado and
Kansas will come up here.
1.-TWO months ago i t was a
broad question as to whether
Montana was really going to be
an oil state, but with these re-
cent discoveries the oil men are
being turned to the view that
there is lots of money will be
spent in Montana during the
present summer.
Because of the recent devel-
opments in the Kevin section the
Mutual Oil company, on Tuesday
ordered the immediate spudding
in of two wells in that vicinity,
and | anticipate an extensive re-
newal Of drilling activities upon
the part of other interests.
while the general oil trade is
not in as satisfactory condition
IS it would be liked to have it,
lue to an excess of production,
Ill men are still quite as keen to
get production as though produc-
ion was below consumption. The
condition has been improving,
however, and production and
consumption are now nearly on
)ar.
'sThe decline Of production in
California and Texas is going to
work out to the benefit of Mon
ana The foot and mouth disease

AS announced in the last issue
of the Review, the Queen City
Oil company held their annual
stockholders meeting at the Ke-
yin hotel last Friday evening.
w. D. Craig sat as chairman and
+. Sommerville acting as secre-
tary. The annual report was read
and approved, and other busi-
ness disposed of. Ir was found
at this meeting that the Queen
City Oil company is in excellent
shape, and that plenty of funds
are available to go ahead with
the large development program
which they have planned for this
season.
While here last week, w. D..
Craig, president of the company,
and F. Sommerville, director, let
the contract to w. j. Elliott, to
start at once on two wells. the
locations being Sc corner nwA A.

The Queen City Oil company
own and control 1880 acres of the
most valuable land in the Keyin
oil field, lying in townships "a, IS

er a year ago from A. BeardsIee.
They drilled two wells last year,
one being dry hole and the Sec

Wall ST. Sees
Huge Oil Rush
In Short Time
Price Cuts Severely Criticized
and Indications Point to
Gain; Output Down.

New York, May 16. NotWith-
standing t h e cut in crude oil
prices, due to unfayorable weauis.
er, indications point to scram-
BILE for oil in the next several
months. In view Of this there
never was cut more severely
criticised by big and small oil
men than the present one.
In the last year there has been
loss Of more than 100000 bar
rels Of light oil production in the
United States. There has been a
decrease Of $4,000 barrels a day
in Mexican light oil production.
Light oil is the source of gasoline
supply.
New production has been prln-
cipally heavy oil, poor gasoline
oil. Despite the increase in heavy
oil, total production OF the coun-
try today is less than year ago.
In week ended May 3, total out
put was 1,949, 900 barrels day,
compared with 1,988,000 barrels
in week ended May 5, 1928, a de-
crease of $4,000 barrels day.
Oklahoma, producing light oil,
is yielding 58,750 barrels of oil
less than a year ago, the figures
being 425,650 barrels daily in
week ended May 3, compared
with 484,3OOO daily, in cores
ponding week year ago.
Kansas, also a light oil state, is
producing 69,350 barrels daily,
compared with 81 300 barrels
daily a year ago, a decrease OF
12,450 barrels day. Wyoming
and Montana fields are produc-
ing 126,250 barrels a day, COM
pared with $4,000 a year ago,
but these fields are 10000 barrels
a day below their peak of pro-
duction last year.
The Los Angeles basin now is
producing 365, 300 barrels day.
compared with 663,000 a t the
peak Of production last summer,
a drop Of almost 100000 barrels
day. This is light oil.
No new light oil pool has been
developed since five of the coun-
try's greatest pools reached their
peak last summer. Every one of
the country's big light oil pools
is permanently on the decline,
and there is no indication that
any new light oil area will be de-
veloped this year.

vacating Order
Is Expected to
Affect Many
Toole County Judges Verdict
Holds Otigindl Owner For
feits His Rights.

Shelby, May II. Under the
first court ruling of the kind issu-
ed in Toole county, a writ of as
sistance has been issued by Dis
trict Judge j. j. Greene to At
torney j. H. Corcoran of Great
Falls instructing the firm of Nc
Donald Il Thomas to vacate the
Sorrell oil tract, in 8-35-2w, on
which is located the Sorrell No.
| well. The writ, attorneys say,
has no precedent in Montana law
and was issued by Judge Greene
in conformity with a recent COM
mon law adjudication by the
state supreme court.
The writ is interpreted to mean
that Ray Sorrell, original owner
of the tract, has forfeited all his
right in the tract incident to a
foreclosure judgment, although
the years redemption period will
not expire until next fall. The
court holds that to protect his
rights during the redemption
period, it would have been neces-
sary for Sorrell to occupy the
land. 1t was shown in the action
brought by Corcoran that Sorrell
has not occupied the land, but
that Mcdonald & Thomas pur-
ported to hold rights during the
redemption period pursuant to a
deal made with Sorrell.
Under the court ruling, it will
be necessary for Mcdonald &
Thomas to forthwith yacate the
premises and to remove their rig
and all other property from the
land. 1t is claimed that the Sor-
rell well, small producer. also
must be abandoned.
1t is held by oil men here that
a large number of oil tracts will
be affected by Judge Green's
ruling and that the precedent es-
in the local decision is
likely to bring about the filing Of
for numerous writs
If assistance relating to oil acre
age in many parts of the, state.
Until now, it always has been as
,umed that land foreclosed upon
at the disposal of the
owner throughout the redemp-
ion period, whether or not he
occupied it. 1t is stated that !
many tracts are being operated
1nder arrangements similar to
hose obtaining on the Sorrell
and prior to Judge Greene's rul-
ng.
Judge Green's decision gives
:. X. Liner, who brought the
suit against Sorrell,
he right to Immediately occupy
he Sorrell tract and to exercise
Ill privileges incident thereto
which ordinarily would not have
)een available to MORTGAGE until
me year after the foreclosure
Judgment was entered.

A. E. Schuler, of Minneapolis,
one of the parties interested n

for few days getting things
lined up to start development

According to Mr.. Schuler his
company will put down three or
four wells on their holdings this
year. In their purchase of this
acreage the Gladys Belle Fryber-
ger well was included in the deal
and while here Mr.. Schuler made
plans to have this we'll cleaned
and it will be put on the pump
at once.
The holders of this lease have
formed and Incorporated new
company to be known as the Ke-
vim Oil and Gas company. The
acreage that is held by this COM
pany is jammed right up close to
the Campbell-Stewart producer
and the Metzenbaum- -Seabrook.

late Friday night. With good pro-
ducers on all sides, it is certain
that the acreage held by the
Minneapolis parties is as valua-
BILE as there is in the field, and it
is a sure bet when they start the
hole downward that they are
sure to hit the pay.

if they have any success at all,

to warrent placing this we'll on
the pump. 1t is planned to drill
an offset to this we'll at once.
Mr.. Court stated that the news
of the Vanmeer, Foster-Sweeney
and Dakota Montana wells, caus-
ed quite a little excitement in
Canada and several Vancouver
capitalists were now in the Kew
in field making arrangements to
develop their holdings.
1T seems mighty queer said
Mr.. Court, that the people Of
Montana and particularly Great
Falls, do not realize the fact that |
they have real oil field in north

else in the country, airplanes and
automobiles loaded with people |
from all parts of the country

sible speed to see it. The people |
here seem to take this news as

AS usual, the Montana-Giant is
right on the job. They have been
busy the past week installing two
new tanks, one Of them of a capa-
city of thousand barrels and
the other five hundred barrel
capacity. 1t was found necessary
to install these tanks since the
immense production Of the Van

and added to the production the
company already had. This will
make sufficient storage for the
present time.

ROBBERS LOOT
THREE STORES
IN CHAMPAIGN

A series of robberies which cost
one merchant nearly $500 in cash
and other great inconvenience in re-
placing checks that were stolen or
destroyed, were committed in Cham
paign early Monday morning. The
stores of Bachman Bros, grocers, on
South Neil street, Spaulding and
Fenster, shoe merchants, and the
Atlantic and Pacific tea company
were the chief sufferers. Later in the
week the Standard Oil company sta
ton in Urbana was ransacked. Num-
erous petty thefts occurred at other
bushes houses, and so far no clue
leading to the identity of the robbers
has been found.
That the robberies were committed
by experienced crooks is the opinion
IN police circles. Efforts of Deputy
Sheriff Elmer Wolfe to locate finger
prints on safes, cash registers and
dor and window castings, proved futile.
The robbers evidently wore gloves.
Policeman Roy Argo spent the early
part of the week following up every
thing that had the appearance of a
clue, but he refused to report the re-
suit of his Investigations. Detectives
Myers and Lyons and Deputy Sheriff
Ed Ulitsch are working quietly on
the case in expectation of developing
a clue leading TO the identity of the
robbers.
