 Again a safe driver is one who will not take chances by going along with out chains on when the road surface is slippery. Chains are safety insurance. You may have an accident with them, but you almost certainly will without them and it is likely to be much worse if you haven't got the non-skid devices on your tires. I wouldn't think of go- ing out driving o~ wet asphalt with out chains, any more than l would try to drive at night without lights. And don't forget that if you have an accident on wet street, if you can point out chains on your tires, any court will take this as evidence that you are a careful operator. And that's worth taking into consideration in these days of swhacking big damage suits. Just paste this rule in your hat: T shall always drive and keep my cai in such condition that shall be ready for the condition of maximum danger whenever or wherever it arises" Il you do that you are not going to gel in much trouble.

Well Two Miles North Of Do.
kotd- Montana Proves New
Area; Taps at l,48O.

An important addition to prov
ed territory was made Monday
evening with the completion Of
the Security Oil company's well
in section 3O-35-1 w, two miles
north of the Dakoto-Mon and
one mile west of the Anderson.
The oil was tapped at 1,48O feet
and was above 600 feet in the

still rising.
The Security we'll is on Kalis-
pell-Kevin acreage and is owned
by a syndicate, of which Charles
Emons Of Shelby is the presi-
dent. The syndicate which owns
the we'll has 160 acres at this To-
cation. The completion means
that much drilling will be launch

ment program which calls for the
drilling of three wells this season
with the first we'll to be COM

completion with an estimated
production Of about so barrels
last year.
The officers and those most in

Montana Will
Lead Them All
In Oil Production
This is The Opinion Of Gordon
Campbell, DiscoVerer Of
the Kelvin Field.

Gordon Campbell. who first dis
covered oil in commercial quanti-
ties in Montana and later added
to his fame as a geologist by
opening up the great Kevin field,
paid visit to friends in this city.
where he made his home for
several years, says the Lewis
town Democrat. Mr. Campbell is
still firm in the belief that the
Kevin field is destined to prove
out the greatest oil producing
area in the United States and
says that it will be years before
the possibilities of that huge field
are fully determined. The pro-
ducing area has been greatly eX-
tended by important discoveries
made during recent weeks. A
we'll which Mr.. Campbell him.
self drilled last winter recently
broke loose and sprayed oil all
over the rig and he believes that
when it is cleaned out and fully
drilled in his latest strike will be
one of the heaviest producers in
the field.
"The surface of the oil possi-
bilities of Montana has just been
touched, said Mr.. Campbell to
the Democrat-News, land the
day is not far distant when our
state will rival, if not surpass,
Oklahoma, Texas, California and
Wyoming in the production of
this precious fluid. The discov-
cry in the Lake Basin field has

JOHNSON SPUDS
IN BY JUNE 5th

Arrangements have been made
for the spudding in of the John
son Syndicate No. l on the sw,
sw NV section 1872 W, adjoining
the Queen City acreage to the
west and directly north Of the
Foster-Sweeney producer by June
5. 1t is believed that Jack Deck
er of Vanmeer and Hogan fame
will be the driller in'charge of
the drilling Of this well.
The we'll is being financed by
James A. Johnson and his associ-
ates at Shelby, and it is planned
by this group to drill the entire
acreage to production as soon as
possible. This 40-acre tract is
now being offset on the east side
by the Queen City company, by

Australians May Buy
Moody Well on Line
Capitalists on Way to Survey
Moody Holdings; Strike
Would Boom Area.

Advice was received at Sweet
Grass, that a group Of Australian
capitalists will arrive this week
from Calgary to inspect the hold
ings Of H. E. Moody, joining the
Montana boundry, with a view
to taking oyer the we'll drilled by
Mr.. Moody last year and carry
ing on the development work.
This we'll, which is located one
half mile east of the town of
Sweetgrass and about 500 feet
from the Montana line, was drill
ed to depth Of ,060 feet in 1922
and operations were discontinued
in the fall Of 1922 because of
m litigation between Mr..
Moody and some Calgary inter-
ests. 1t is now reported that this
dispute has been settled and that
operations will be financed by
Australian interests, whose rep
resentatives are on the ground
today.
The resumption of operations
on the boundary anticline will
mean great deal to the Kevin
field. as a producing well on this
location would prove the area ex-
tending between what is now be-
lieved to be the north slope Of
the Kevin field and the Canadian
boundary. This would mean the
immediate prospecting of large
blocks Of acreage between the
boundary and the present proven
area.

Oil Shortage Closes
Plants in California
Small Refineries Suspend Be-
cause Of Inability to Get
Crude, Wyott Says.

Inability to get crude oil has
been the cause of several small
oil refneries in California shutt-
ing down, according to E. A. Wy
att, former vice president Of the
Sunburst Refining company, who
has recently returned to Great
Falls after six months trip to
the west coast and Mexico.
"The oil industry in Califor-
nia," said Mr.. Wyatt, has suff-
cred quite a slump and the small
independent operators and refn-
ers are gradually being forced
out of business. The control seem
to be in the hands of the five
big companies, Standard, Dutch
Shell, Union, General Petroleum
and Associated Oil companies.
Most of the operators in Cali
fornia are Of the opinion that the
Kevin field is the coming field of
the United States and it would
not surprise me at all to see con-
siderable capital from that part
of the country invested in Mon

Rush For Acreage
After Completion
Of Two Big Wells
Foster Sweeney and Metzen-
boum-Sedbrook Brings in
Seattle Capital.

The completion of the Foster
Sweeney, Vanmeer and the Met
zenbaum-Seabrook as producers
has resulted in a rush for acreage
in the territories where these
wells are located. resultidg in the
signing of several drilling con-
tracts, providing for immediate
development.
A we'll will be spudded in on
the Alex FauIk land in the NV
sw 9-34-2 W, this week. This well
will be known as the Metzen-
baum -Faulk and will be drilled
by, L. Lilly, who drilled in the
Metzenbaum- -Seabrook. Mr.. Lilly
is taking an interest in the pro-
perty along with Walter Metzen-
baum of Seattle, and the acreage
will be financed entirely by Seat
tie people, headed by Mr.. Met
zenbaum.
Mr.. Metzenbazm said that as
result of the successful compile
tion cf these wells at least $780,
900 of Seattle capital would be
released for development thru
the entire field during this sea-
son. II know of no other field in
the world, to say nothing of the
American continent, )" Mr.. Met
zenbaum said, where there is the
opportunity for the small inves-
tor and the independent operator
to make a success that there is
right in this field. Acreage is
very reasonable, and drilling can
be carried on so cheaply that it
is surprising to me, to say the
least, that the field has not been
developed far more than it has

Assures Activity.
This latert success assures con-
siderable activity on the west
side, arrangements already being
under way for three more wells
in that vicinity.
1t is significant that the sand
was encountered at a depth of
1885 with surface elevation of
3440, which would indicate that
the location was ON the 1905 foot
contour. At no other location in
this vast field has commercial
production been encountered be-
low the 1905 contour. This fact
would seem to bear out the theory
that there is a tip in the forma-
ton towards the southwest with
a good possibility of encounter
ing thicker sands, with cores
pondingly heavier production
still further west and southwest.
The new activity springing up
since the latest completion, to-
gether with that already under
way to the southeast Of Keyin
since the bringing in Of the big
Vanmeer gusher, is bidding fair
to make the town of Kevin
bee hive of industry not equalled
by any city in the northwest.
The ground upon which the
new well has come has had a
varied career. being two years in
the drilling, finishing two COM
panies and being finished by the
third. 1t is owned largely by

terms, and where drilling costs

Seabrook Gets
Second Spout
Oil Goes Over Crown Block as
Hole Drills Self Deeper in
Producing Sand.

The Metzenbaum-Seabrook No.
l well, in section 49, 1872 w, near
the Campbell-Stewart, threw oil
over the crown block Monday ev-
ening, evidently as a result of
drilling itself deeper into the
sand. The we'll is located close
to the Campbell-Stewart, but diff
fers from that we'll in that it's
production comes from a sand in
which the Campbell we'll found
only showing.
From present indications this
we'll is good for 200 barrels daily
or better and it is stated the flow
seemingly is increasing hourly.
This latest flowing we'll, to-
gether with the other big wells
of the field, makes the Kevin dis
trict loom up in the limelight
and the result will be more drill
ing operations. Kevin confidently
looks forward to town lot drilling

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James H. Allen, of Rochester,
N. Y, suffered for years with rheuma-
tism. Many times this terrible disease
left him helpless and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years OF
ceaseless study, that no n can be
free from rheumatism until the accu-
mulated impurities, commonly called
uric acid deposits, were dissolved in
the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and fl
nally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom OF rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery, which
he called Allenrhu, to others who took
it, with what might be called marvel
Gus success. After years of urging he
decided to let sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery through the
newspapers. He has therefore instruc-
ted druggists everywhere to dispense
Allenrhu with the understanding that
if the first pint bottle does not show
the way to complete recovery he will
gladly return your money without com
ment. Orange Drug Co. can supply
you.
