The bathing beach and summer
colony, on bay and river, long re-
garded the playground of the rich
and luxury the family of moder-
ate means could not afford, has,
within the decade, became the
rendezvous of thousands of Wash
ington families; a new era in
home life has dawned; the sum-
mer season holds a new signifi-
canoe for the children of today
that was denied the children of a
few years past.
The automobile and paved coun-
try highways; the motor bus and
electric cars have been contrib
uting factors.
Better Transportation Aids
Development within the past few
years of summer colonies within
easy access of Washington by
motor, electric and steam cars has
done more to encourage home own
ing in Washington than any one
other thing.
Hundreds of families, who have
always pad rent, own their first
real estate through the easy pay
ment plan of the developers of sum
NOR colonies and beach resorts.
They find it an easy matter to pay
few dollars down and few dol
lars a month in order to possess a
deed to a building lot. They ven

has an appeal for many families.
Why purchase a house with a large
vacant area on all sides. they ask,
when they have a playground for
the children at their summer home
at the nearby beach. A row-house
carefully appointed to fit the needs
of any family affords a winter resi-
dence satisfactory in every way and
the necessity of purchasing large
acreage is eliminated.
All Outdoors Theirs
The family owning a house in
a row and an automobile has the
great outdoors for a playground.
Every beach and waterfront develop
ment adds to the value of the row
house and contributes to its popu-
larity.
Several enterprising builders Of
Washington have been far-sighted;
they have been quick to sense this
changing mode of living of the
average. Washington family.

FIELD OPERATIONS
DELAYED BY STORM

Field operations have been
seriously hampered during the
asst week by snow storms and
today can be classed as a real
Montana blizzard. Road condi-
tions in the field are bad which
prevents the moving of materials
to new locatione, and retards
drilling which is under way.
There has not been any com
pletions for the past few days,
but during the past four weeks,
field operations have been enlarg-
ing. 1t is estimated that over 200
wells will be drilled in the Kevin
field during the coming summer.
Many new comers are seen
around Kevin and some of the
old timers are back, to stay, they
say, as Kevin oil field looks the
most promising of any. 1t is re-
ported that manyof the California
operators and oil interested men
will be in this field as soon as
spring opens.

Federal Permits are Ex-
empt From State Tax

A decision of far-reaching i'm
portance to operators developing
oil lands held under government
prospecting permits under the
provisions of the oil land leasing
act was rendered last week by
Judge Charles E. Herrick, in the
district court at Craig, Colorado,
in a suit filed against the county
assessor of Moffat county by the
Texas Production Co. The court
held that oil and gas prospecting
permits on the public domain are
exempt from taxation by states
ia which the lands are located.
1t is understood this is the first
decision of the kind rendered tho
another of a similar nature was
handed down few weeks ago in
San Bernardino county court in
California. No parallel case has
arisen in Montana other than on
permit lands in the collection cf
the gross production tax, which
is now being tested in the United
States supreme court.
1t is pointed out that the fed
eral oil land leasing act of Feb.
25, 1920, takes this question into
consideration in section 35 in
which it is provided that 371a
per cent of the royalties received
by the government shall go back
to the state in which the oil is
produced and that this takes the
place Of any state tax. Otherwise,
the effect would be double taxa

FARMERS WANT
500 TO CROSS
NORTH STATE
Extension From Whitehall to
Kelvin to be Urged by Petition
of Big Flat Citizens

Harlem, March 9. - With the
coming of spring and an optomis-
tic feeling among the farmers on
the Big Flat, near Turner. rail-
road talk has been started again.
1t has been suggested by some
that a movement be started soon
to circulate a giganic petition in
the, territory all along and just
south of the Canadian border on
the proposed route of the 500 ex-
tension from Whitehall to Kevin.
This petition would pledge the
moral support of the farmers to
the railroad and would give a free
right-of-way wherever the line
happened to be built.
Several years ago it was report
ed that surveys were made to ex-
tend the 500 Line road west from
Whitehall to Kevin an d this
would pass through Turner and
the best farming section of the
Big Flat and give all of those
people an outlet for their grain
without the long haul to Harlem.

Dear Mr.. Thompson:
Was called back to Kevin for

AS a gatherer of news you will
be interested l am sure in know
ing that our company is planning
some improvements for the COM

what the program will be, but
some pipe line extentions and tire
relaying If a part of the present
line with larger pipe is assured
and the increase of the capacity
'of the refinery is also probable,
AS you know some tank cars
have been purchased for the ship
ment of gasoline and it is expect
ed that more will be put in SER
vice soon. These cars carry to
their destination and also to the
people along their route, the news
that Kevin is a refinery town.
With kind regards. / remain
Yours very truly,
Chet Halverson

bered in Kelvin as he recently
