CODY HATCHERY MUST
REMAIN CLOSED IS
STATES DECISION
MEMBERS OF COMMISSION
BLOCK PLAN OF ROD
AND GUN CLUB

At a meeting of the State Game
and Fish Commission, held in the Of
fee of Governor Ross, on Tuesday,
June 4th. an action was taken that
is hard for the people of Park Coun-
ty to believe, and a lot harder to
understand.
AS is well known in this section,
the commission had decided to aban-
don the Cody Hatchery due to a lack
of funds, but rather than have the
young fish already at the hatchery
die, the Park County Rod and Gun
Club offered to take over the hatch
cry until such time as the fish were
old enough to be planted in the
streams. This proposition was put up
to the State Commission in the form
of a petition bearing 100 signatures,
a telegram from the Rod and Gun
Club and another from the Cody
Club. An agreement was also made
between o. F. Koenig, as president
of the Rod and Gun Club. R. R. Rou-
sseau, Assistant Game and Fish Com
- .issioner, and F. S. Smith. State
slme and Fish Commissioner. that
f.Sr club would pay all the expenses
'of operation of the hatchery and
planting the fish, provided that the
Commission would operate the hatch
cry until June LIST.
When the proposition was put be-
fore the meeting Mr.. Carter moved
TO reject the offer of the Park Coun-
ty Rod and Gun Club, for the reason
that the State should pay for the
maintenance of its own institutions,
and his motion was promptly. second
ed by Mr.: Lucas. and upon their
votes the motion carried. Governor
Ross voted against the motion and
wished to 20 on record as favoring
the proposition offered by the Cody
sportsmen.
In a letter from Mr.. Smith, he ex-
presses a deep regret that the agree
ment he made with the officers of
the Club could not be carried out. He
used his best efforts to put the deal
through.
1t shows very poor craftsmanship
on the part of Mr.. Carter and Mr.
Lucas, who, for no other a than
their belief that the State should pay
tor the maintenance of its WI in
srtutions, would let thousands of
yIung trout die in the hatchery ra-
Tier than let the local nimrods oper-
ate until it a safe to plant the fish.
1t is the intention of the Rod and
u Club to plant the fish that are
now at the hatchery, and a great deal
OF care will have to be exercised in
the handling. Even with every pre-
caution. it is not n safe undertaking,
and no doubt a great number of the
hsh will perish, but thanks to the ac-
ton of the members of the Commits
sion, this is the only remedy for the
situation.
As money will be needed for trans
portation and planting, the dance at
Sage Creek Hall, given for the bene-
Mt Of this work will be held just the
same.

SHORT DISTANCE FROM
WELLS IN 1912 w


Kenneth Frazer and his associates
have taken over an 80acre tract from
the Sunburst Oil & Gas company in
section 3-34-2w and will Immediately
start drilling operations on the initial
well, according to an announcement
made Friday at the Sunburst offices
The well will be located on the east
half of the northeast quarter of the
section, one mile east of the big Ohio
Sunburst-Norem producer, and the
same distance from the Queen City,
Crumley, Shoshone and other pro-
ducers in section 4. Acreage to The
west is retained by the Sunburst and
land to the north is owned by the

SEES BIG YEAR
Shelby Townsite Manager Says
Much Development Due;
Work in Field Resumes

Shelby, Nov. 15.-Prediction that
the year 1925 will see a great eX-
pansion of the Kevin- -Sunburst oil
field was made here Saturday by M.
E. Williams of Minneapolis, vice
president and manager Of the Shell
by Townsite company Mr.. Williams
returned here this week after an abb
sence of several months and was sur
prised to find SO large amount of work
under way among the operators at
this season.
at is surprising and gratifying to
see the amount of activity at this
Season of the year that is under way
in the northern Montana field, and l
predict that 1925 will he by far the
biggest year the field has ever seen.
with the constantly declining pro-
duction of the major pools of the
United States and an equally in
creasing consumption, substantial
advance in the price of Kevin-Sun-
burst crude is inevitable. Considering
the situation from all angles, I can see
nothing but great prosperity for Shell
by and all Toole county"
Mr.. Williams and his associates, all
Minneapolis men, are drilling well
in sw Sc section 34-35-3w, just out
side the town of Kevin. The location
was made by DR.. F. M. Sardeson,
geologist for the State Securities COM
mission of Minnesota. He has worked
out local condition which he says is
a prominent dome.
The Illinois Pipe line ran 131 1886
barrels of oil during October, a con-
siderable decrease from September.
The average daily run was 1926 bar
rels. According to Fred Platt of the
Northern Oil Information bureau, the
decrese was due to the fact that not
all the operators have been careful
enough in getting the water in the oil
down to the standard required by the
pipe line company. Production in
the field has not fallen off, according
to Mr.. Platt.
The warm weather of the past few
days has brought about considerable
resumption of activity in the oil field,
after a temporary shutdown at most
locations. There were about 20
drilling wells when the shutdown oc-
Cured, and at least Is of these have
resumed work.

The heavy producing oil pool on
which the Shoshone and Crumley wells
are located in section 1912 w was
extended north three-quarters of a
miles by the completion of the Ohio
Sunburst-Norem well in section 33-
35-2 W, the Great Falls office of the
Sunburst Oil & Gas company was in

the field. The production of this well
ha sheen in doubt several days, but
with tankage available sufficient for
an adequate test, the flow was estab-
lished Friday at 1900 barrels for the
ID hours ending at noon.
Development Immediately swung to-
wards the new well as soon as its
production was established. 1t was
announced Friday that the Queen
City will drill an offset to the south
and plans are reported to be we'll ad-
vanced for the drilling of other wells
in the vicinity.
The Sylvester-Anderson No. a, sec
tion 29-35-1 w, completed last Satur-
day, has been established as a good

OFFICERS MAY
NOT TAKE SEAT
New County Will Not Become
Legal Subdivision Until Res
olution is Filed by Board

Helena, Nov. 13.-Although the
new county of Petroleum, which was
voted into being at the recent general
election, elected at that same time
state senator and a member of the
house of representatives the new
county will have to depend upon rep
resentation by the delegation from the
parent county of Fergus for the great
er portion, if not the whole, of the
coming legislative session.
The county of Petroleum will be-
come a legal subdivision of the state
under the provisions of chapter 5 of
the revised codes of 1921, and the
date when it shall lawfully become
such subdivision is fixed by Section
1895 of that chapter as 80 days after
the filing with the secretary of state
of a resolution by the board of COM
missioners of Fergus county indicat-
ing the creation of the county by the
vote of the people. Were such res
olution to have been filed November
13, the new county would not come
into being until 80 days thereafter,
or February IL. However, such fill
ing has not yet been made and it Is
likely that several days may elapse
before such resolution shall be filed,
so that the representatives from Pc
troleum county will not be entitled
to seats in the legislature before the
concluding weeks of the session.
Section 1895, bearing upon this mat
ter reads:
eff, upon the canvass of the votes
cast at such election, it appears that
5 9percent of the votes cast are For

SPOKANE PAPER
SAYS GOOD GOV.
BEEN DEFEATED

In their failure to reelect Gov
ernor Joseph M. Dixon, the Mon
tana voters appear ungratefrl
and inconsistent. AS explained
by w. S. Mccormick, republican
lieutenant governor-elect, Dixon
sacrificed himself in a four-year
fight to make the large corpora
tions that have exploited the nat
ural resources Of the state for
immense profits bear their fair
burdsn by taxation of the expens-
es of the state" Many years ago
these powerful interests slipped
this joker into the states consti-
tuition:
All mines and mining claims,
both placer and rock in place, i
containing or bearing gold,
silver, copper, lead, coal or
other valuable mineral de-
posite, after purchase there |
Of from the United States
shall be taxed at the rate
paid the United States there
for.
The price paid the U n t e d
States for mine prospects is but |
a trifle. A mine prospect has lit
tle.value, but developed mine.
especially the great copper prop
critics of Butte, have acquired
enormous value and have gone
on year after year lodging taxes
under the foregoing provisions of
the state constitution.
When Dixon was elected gov
ernor four years ago he invited
the owners and managers Of
these valuable properties into
conference. He reminded them
that drought in the new farming
regions of the state had cut off
anticipated taxes and greatly i'm
paired the states revenue and
credit, and that struggling far
mers and owners Of other forms
of property were not getting a
square deal. He assured them
that he had no radical program;
that as governor of Montana he
would zealously maintain their
property rights and protect them
against violence in time Of public
disorder. All that he asked was
the payment of their fair share
of the burden Of maintaining the
government that protected them
in their property rights.
They rejected these fair over
lures and started upon their we'll
laid plan to defeat Dixon and
drive him out of Montana poll
tics.
They have won on the personal
They have beaten Dix
on, but his cause has triumphed,
