Refinery Gets
First Order

The first order placed by the
Continental Supply company was
disposed of last Saturday when
w. j. Gray, secretary of the Mon
tana-Giant refinery placed his
order with assistant manager,
Wray. Mr.. Wray said that while
the order was not a very large
one, the Giant company had the
honor Of being the first purceas-
er.
Already the new supply com
pany have unloaded several cars
Of supplies, and each day brings
more cars, and it will only be a
question of a short time until the
store will be filled to capacity
with the very best stock carried
by supply houses. This, we call,
is a real treat for the operators
working in the Kevin field, for
heretofore they have had to haul
from Sunburst and Shelby which
has made difference of several
miles, but this trouble is now
ended, and now boys, when you
want supplies just drive right
into Kevin and the Continental
will fix you out. You know it is
only a few minutes drive from
your well.

Dreher Opens
Barber Shop

Ben F. Dreher who has been
operating barber shop at the
Green Billiard Parlors, moved in
to his new quarters this week in
what is known as the old Camp
bell office. Mr.. Dreher has re-
modelled this place and we claim
that he now has the most up-to-
date barber shop in Northern
Montana. Mr.. Dreher has paint
ed the shop white inside and out,
and has fitted the place up with
bath tubs, something that has
long been needed in Kevin. For
the time being, Mr.. Dreher will
have the water hauled in from
the D. H. S. springs, until the
water is piped in, which plans
are now under way, and should
be completed before fall.
Not only bath tubs has been
installed, but Ben has also added
shower bath, which will be a
delight to his customers these
hot days. L. L. Green, who has
been assisting Mr.. Dreher for the
past month will continue to hold
down one chair, and the ladies
wishing theis hair bobbed will
find the two gentlemen ready at
all times to give them first class
service.
The decorating of the new
quarters was done by Jack Sohn,
who has a reputation for know
ing how.

()vertaking The
Cat Greek Field
Pipe Line Reports to State Re-
veal Continued Increase in
Oil Output Of North State.

Helena. July 25, The Kevin
field is rapidly overtaking the
Cat Creek field as the leading
Montana oil producing area, ac-
cording to pipe line reports re-
ceived by the state board of
equalization for the quarter end
ing June 80, showing a gross
shipment from the northern field
Iof 1926, 1854 barrels as compared
with 391, ,779 barrels from the
Cat Creek area.
For the same period last year
the Kevin field produced 72.495
while it's southern competitor
was producing $780, barrels.
The total amount of revenue
received by the state under the
2 per cent oil production license
tax law for the quarter just end
ed was $21. .470.
Cat Creek wells, because of
the higher value of their product
paid $15,279 of this amount and
the Kevin wells $6.191. The aver
age price of the latter oil was 95
cents, while Cat Creek oil brot
an average Of S1.95 during the
period covering in its reports.
Of the total amount received
SO per cent or $10,735 goes to the
general fund Of the state and 25

Sunburst Firm
Starts Appeal
OF Havre Case
Decision for Anna p. DeGrout
Will Be Contested Before
States High Bench.

Helena, July Is. Upon appeal
of the Sunburst Oil & Gas com
pany, the transcript in the case
of Anna 2. DeGroat against that
company and the Shoshone Oil
company has been filed in the
supreme court.
This was an action filed to re-
cover possession of land in Sec
tion 8 and 9, township "a north,
range 2 west, in Toole county,
upon which the owner has execut-
ed an oil and gas lease to Gordon
Campbell. Plaintiff claimed that
the terms of the lease had not
been fulfilled and that the lease
had been forfeited. She asked re-
storation of the land and damag-
es of 5000 per month from June
1, 1923.
The Sunburst company, t 0
which Campbell has assigned the
lease, claimed that the lease had
been validated through the sue
cess of Campbell in producing oil
from a near by portion of the
same dome, the Rocky Ridge
Dome, on section 16, township
35 north, range 3 west.
The case was tried at Shelby
before Judge w. E. Carroll of
Butte, and the jury brought a
verdict for the plaintiff, under
which judgement was entered
giving possession of the land to
the plaintiff and her costs of
S132.1O and dismissing the action
as to the Shoshone Oil company.
The Sunburst's motion for
new trial was denied and it ap-
peaied from the judgement to
the supreme court.

Mo. | Hits the Pay

The Homestake Exploration
Halloran No. well in Sc sw sW,
1882 west, was brought in to
production the last of the week
at the depth Of ,459 feet and
drilled in the sand three feet. 1t
is probably 150-barrel well, al
though no estimate is being made.
The oil rose 500 feet and shot
over the top several times in
heads. 1t is a west offset to the
Sunb.- .-Norum tract and a quarner
of mile north Of the socalled
Shoshone group, extending the
pool northward that distance.
Oil men had generally expected
dry hole or a water well IN this
location. The northWard extern
sion will mean a new impetus
and the drilling of several adj
ditional wells.
There are now fourteen pro-
ducing wells in the Shoshone
group, in an established produc-
ing area three-quarters of a mile
north and south, east and west.

the Vanmeer No. / and Foster
Sweeney wells. come the COM
pletion of h e Crumbley-Mc-
Knight No. / we'll on the Corey
lease. 1t is still flowing and its
settled production is in excess of
its initial production.
The Queen City No. 3 on the
Moore premit came in with flush
estimated at several
thousand barrels but it was not
allowed to flow at capacity except
for a few minutes at time,
owing to lack of storage. 1t has
settled to 500 barrels and has
made 10000 barrels since COM
pleted June 10.
Shoshone No. 4 is one of the
best wells in the field estimated
at around 1000 barrels a day.
The Crumbly-McKnight next
completion, which is a south off
set to the Queen City 3, is flow
ing at about 200 barrels day.

i From the Iincoln Evening
1Courier,) Lincoln, Illinois, June
I19, 1924.
CLARK B. Firestone, associate
e ditor Cincinnati Times-Star
said:
1.-The pain in the Northwest
of which a magazine writ e
speaks, seems to me only a grow
ling pain. The entire region is in
a state of transition. which is
most marked in Montana and the
1Dakotas. 1t is discarding agri-
cultural methods copied from the
more humid East for methods
adapted to it's own soil and eli
matte conditions. 1t is shaking
down the farmers to eliminate
those unfit to win out under these
conditions. The process is right.
All transition is rough, but here
it is necessary and am sure it
is a process of growth. | do not
know what the Great Northern
Railroad thinks of legislation
proposed to meet the situation,
but my feeling is that it would
be a mistake. For it would re-
tard a desirable transition. The
Northwest impressed me with
its vast possibilities. There isn't
a thing importantantly wrong
with it that | can see except the
slant of few of the men who
represents it at Washington.
Ernest L. Heitkamp, special
writer, Chicago Evening Ameri-
can:
I am convinced that this trip
was greatly needed if the East
ern and Central sections Of the
United States were to gain a true
and sympathetic knowledge of
the Northwest from Western
Minnesota to the Pacific. The in
innate association of this party
of newspaper men with the busi-
ness leaders and people of the
cities and country districts visit
ed is certain to have perhaps no
immediate but surely an ultimate
and lasting influence for good on
public discussions Of news and
problems of the Pacific North
west. My feeling is that the Off
cials of the Great Northern Rail
way have done splendid piece
Of constructive work in arrang-
ing these meetings. | do not be-
lieve it is possible for any intelli-
gent person to have taken this
trip and not have been impressed |
by the abiding soundness of the
economic present and future OF
Western Minnesota, North Da-
kota, Montana, Northern Idaho,
Washington and Oregon, or not
to have been struck by the in
spring courage, determination
and faith Of their people. The
big thought | have carried away
is this: Here is a truly wonderful
impressively rich in real
ized wealth but infinitely richer
IN potential possibilities; here is
4 future greatness and grandeur
for millions Of people. Special
circumstances may delay but
can deny ultimately its
destiny to this vast reg
on of limitless possibilities which
awaits but the awakening or
Iuickening touch Of greater pop
llation or more intensive devel-
,pment. We understood h e
Vest was feeling depressed, but
f they are depressed the West
,rners are surely good at hiding
his feeling. Everywhere W e
lave gone we have been met with
he utmost hospitality, enthus-
asm and pep.'

west section of our country | find
that had not the least concep-
tlOn of the actual conditions eX-
listing therein. My impression,
as gained from published articles
and reports of Congressional pro-
ceedings, | have found to be far
from true. | believed the farm
ers IN the Northwest were in
perllous straits and that farming
was not profitable occupation.
Since talking with farmers and
authorities on agriculture, it
clearly is apparent that such a
/ fear is unfounded. Successful
farmers are in the majority. They
are successful because they farm
correctly. Some men unfit for
the job have failed, and this is
due to various reasons for which
they are to blame. Such men cry
loudly for relief and evidently
they are heard in the East. How
ever, the West is not on its back.
1t is on its feet and is going for
ward. 1t needs more real life
farmers, which it will get in due
course
Frederick w. Kendall, Buffa-
10 Express:
The greatest asset of h e
Northwest today is the spirit of
its people. During the World
War, when a steamer load Of the
wounded drew up at the London
docks, its human freight consign-
ed to the hospitals, the lone que
ry went up from it's decks. Are
we down-hearted, = and the i'm
mediate response in chorus al
ways was, eve are not" 1t was
that spirit with which they car
ried on in the World War; it was
that spirit which won the World
War. 1t is that spirit which now
is so manifest in this portion of
the Northwest through which we
haye travelled. The Northwest
has been wounded, but it appears
to have no thought of preparing
for burial.
"T. A. Burke. N. E. A. Service
Cleveland:
The entire trip indeed h a s |
been revelation and especially |
interesting to the scribes because
of the fact that probably three
fourths Of our group had not seen
the Northwest before. | take off |
my hat to the fighting spirit of
the people of the Northwest and
to the glad hand of hospitality
that has reached out to US all
along the line. Out where the
West begins means much more
to me now than the rather catchy
title of a rather catchy song we
like to sing back at Cleveland.
There NAV be something wrong
with Montana and the great
Northwest but | doubt if you
could find it with a high-powered
microscope. Your people have
courage out here and you couldn't
down 'em with a whole army of
wild cats

sRENT ISSUE BRINGS
2,.s ss,,. CRISIS IN BRITAIN
labor Government Determined to
'cF Protect Jobless From
- Losing Homes.
BY tl,e Associa ted Press.

By tbe Associated Press
LONDON, April What the laborite
press describes as "a political crisis
Of first-class Importance" has arisen
out of the governments determination
to protect unemployed tenants from evic-
ton.
A special cabinet meeting was con-
vened last night to discuss the evictions'
bill, and Premier Macdonald shortened
his week end vacation at Chequers Court
TO attend.
The political reports agree that the
government has already resolved that
some means must be adopted to enable
unemployed persons to retain possession
of their homes, whether they pay rent
or not, but indecision and even disagree
ment is said to exist on how this is to
be managed.
When debate on the bill was adjourned
last week it was understood that the
government proposed to put the onus of
finding the rent money upon the poor
law authorities, who in turn, look to the
government for reimbursement If this
proves to be the ministers plan it seems
certain they will be defeated in the COM
mons, although il is not supposed they
would regard this as reason for resign
ing
