 Major Martin, pilot of the Seattle 1, and in command of the U. s. Army planes, was a reluctant visitor in the city from the 18th to the 18th of Apr. Their plane was forced down off Cape Igvak on the 18th, on account of en- zine trouble and when rescued were lowed to Kanatak and taken into the creek here for repairs. Winter wea- ther and Kanatak winds were partly responsible for the prolonged stay. The winds kept the plane in motion so that the old engine could not be re moved and the new engine installed. Ice formed on the creek during the nights of the 23rd and 24th and the plane was frozen in. The west winds held back the tides so that the water did not back up the creek far enough to float the plane out so cradle was built and the pontoons were floated upon it and hauled down the creek to the bay by a tractor. The Major left Kanatak in the face of a blinding wet snowstorm and a regular southeaster, but made Chignik safely.

tation of the farm are purchased

Olinger says. 81 have always liked
it better here than in any other place
I have farmed. 1 believe that the
methods I have outlined will make
it possible for me not only to live
we'll here but to prosper. My gross
income in 1928 averaged a little
higher than S55 per acre, which left
something more than $40 per acre
over and above u living expenses
and the cost of operating the farm.

A group of men in Missoula be-
came interested and organized a
company for it's manufacture and dis
tribution. The device is at present
being manufactured in Toledo, Ohio.
The No. 4 size is now on the market
and according to officers of the COM
pany has had a ready sale.
The main features of this trap are
lightness, ability to regulate the ten
sion of the setting, positive action,
and absolute safety and ease in set
ting and adjusting. A special feat
ure of the trap lies in the fact that
as the trap is sprung, the tension
spring acts simultaneously with the
trigger and pulls it sharply down,
causing the trap to jump over IL
inches into the air, and thus obtains
a better holding point on the animal.
The company intends to manufac-
ture the trap in larger sizes, as the
principle can be applied equally well
to traps for coyotes, beaver or any
other animal.

SIXTHGRADE YOUTH ON WAY
TO SUCCESS AS CLAY MODELEF

An embryo sculptor has been un-
covered in Livingston, Guthorn Egg
gar, 17-year-old lad of the sixth
grade of the Central school. He
molds statuary of clay which he digs
from the hills a short distance from
Livingston. A specimen of an ape
in standing position resting his left
hand on tree stump in front of him
was shown as a sample of some of
the work the lad is turning out. The
bit of statuary was made with
out a picture for a model and is a
good specimen of handicraft, consid-
ering the material and tools the boy
used and the absence of a picture or
living model. The boy said that he
has been doing this work for some
time without a teacher or any in
struction, whatver.

MISSOULA COMPANY PUTS NEW
GAME TRAP ON THE MARKET

The Missoula Clutch Trap com

an entirely new device known as the
Crago Clutch Trap. F. H. Crago, the
inventor of the new trap, is an old
trapper of thirty years experience in
the Rocky mountains and Alaska.
He conceived the idea of reducing the
weight of traps a trapper has to carry
in order to catch the small fur bear
ers, and after a number of years of
experimenting perfected the new de-
intended for mink, marten, go
piers and other small stuff.

flowed 100 barrels in two hours. Nesting right
down in what looks to be the ''gIory hoIe'' of this
proven district is the choice 80 Acres of the Regal.
It's in the quantity district, too, and we will be very
much disappointed if this first well, on which Guy
Craig, master driller, is making preparations to
spud in, does not add another well to the list of big
producers. 1t will not take this man long to send
his bit down into the bowels of the earth, where the
values are. We have contracted with him for a
Turnkey job, which means that he furnishes every
thing, and will turn the well over to us completed.

~ ISSATISFIED with Iowa, drown
ed out in Wisconsin and burn
- ed out in western Kansas, Ross
R. Olinger put his faith and work in
to a small irrigated farm in the Vel
lowstone river valley of Montana and
succeeded.
After three disappointments at
farming in other states, Mr.. Olinger
believes that the strain of pioneer
blood which flows in his veins was
alone responsible for his fourth at
tempt in Montana, especially as the
venture was made at a time when
production on Montana lands, both
irrigated and u~nirrigated, was an UNI
known quantity.
Mr.. Olinger arrived in Billings in
1907 and bought 65 acres of irri-
gated tillable land and ten acres of
pasture land, six miles north of the
city. After his experience in other
states, he said, he wanted to be sure
of having water in the proper amount
and at the right time so as to pre-
vent a recurrence of having the crop
either drowned out or burned out.
He Arrived In Montana With $40
The first cost of the land to him
was $50 per acre. When he arrived
in Billings he had five head of horses,
two COWS and $40 in cash. Shortly
after his arrival, the horses died. De-
termined to succeed, he has farmed
his land well and today is comfort
ably well-to-do. His land is valued
at from $3.50 to $175 per acre and
his farm is a steady producer, pro-
viding a safe income.
Diversified farming has been res
ponsible for the measure of success
he has attained, Olinger declares. In
1928 his production included IL
acres of beans, 10 acres of potatoes,
three acres of corn, Is acres of spring
wheat and 23 acres of alfalfa. His
crop of beans was from 1900 to
2,400 pounds per acre, varying with
the fertility of portions of the land.
The selling price of the crop was
S4.75 per cwt. aboard cars at Bill
ings and his gross income from the
bean crop was more than SIS to the !
acre.
Potatoes Have Paid Him
Potatoes have always been Olin-
gers hobby, he confessed. His soil \
S particularly adapted to the grow 4
ng of fine potatoes and this has been I
Ill the encouragement he has requir- /
ID to induce him to plant a liberal 1
acreage annually. In 1923, his pota- B
oes brought him a gross return of
bout $172 to the acre. Il
The Olinger ranch is located on a 4
transcontinental automobile a
and Mr.. Olinger saw how he
begin advertising his produce Y
It home. So at his gateway he erect n
ID a neat, attractive sign in a posi-
which best commands the atten- 4
of persons passing. y
This advertising sign has sold 80
er cent of the potato crop right in n
he farm yard. During a single day q
asst fall, it brought to his door "a
automobiles containing SO people
7ho bought potatoes. The price at
the potatoes are offered is al Il
rays chalked upon the board. q
Another adjunct to his potato bust
ess as we'll as his general farming 81
a small automobile truck. This \
ruck, Olinger declared, has enabled
i'm to create markets because with
he can command a wide radius of q
e~rritory and is prepared to make
Deedy delivery.
"Get your potatoes at the Olinger

n ACK OF MARKET has
retarded development in
A Kevin-Sunburst district
in the past. That trouble is
over. The completion of the
$24,OOO,O 900 pipe line from
Casper to Kansas City means
that practically all the wy
oming oil will go east. Here
tofore Wyoming has glutted
the Canadian markets to the
detriment of Kevin-Sunburst
producers. Now every bar
rel of Kevin-Sunburst crude
will have a ready market in
Canada and in local refin-
cries, at advancing prices.
This means that every 20
barrel well in the North
Country will be pumped at
a fat profit, while a 1OO-bar-
rel well will be a gold mine,
productive of anywhere from
$3.50 to $500 a day.
