OIL FLOW FOUND
in STRAY SAND
Oil Rises to Top of Cosing Thru
200 Feet of Covings in the
Queen City No. 8.

The Queen City No. 8 well,
offset to the johnson gusher in
section 4-34-2 W, created a furry
in the Kevin field Tuesday morn
ing by the oil rising LOO feet in
the hole. This stray sand was en-
countered at 1880 feet or about
100 feet above the Ellis. The full
capabilities of the we'll at this
depth cannot be determined be-
cause of 200 feet of cavings in
the bottom of the hole, but the
fact that the oil rose within $50
feet of the top was considered
as an indication that is Will make
a 500 barrel when completed.
The producing sand is thought
to be the same from which one
of the Crumbley- Mcknight we'll
takes its oil. This we'll is rated
at from 400 to 500 barrels a day,
one Of the good producers of the
field.
According to Don Hagerman,
field manager for the Queen City,
they have cleaned out this cav
ing and set casing ready to drill
to the Ellis with the expectations
of tapping the same sand from
which the Johnson gusher was
brought in with the largest flow
ever measured in the field. Much
interest h a s centered in the
Queen City No. s, because of its
location with reference to the
johnson, and another completion
as large as that we'll would, oil
men assert, create the greatest
oil excitement eyer experienced
in northern Montana.
Because of an error in measur-
ing the sand line of the Co-opera-
tive-Adams, in section 12-34-2 w
that we'll has been found to be
down but 1923 feet. Until the
error was discovered it was thot
to be 35 feet deeper. This well,
another hot spot in the field,
mas shown colors for some dis !.
,ance, and a completion there
would very materially extend the
proven territory.
The Shoshone syndicate, own
srs of group of wells near the
Johnson and Queen City No. 8.
announced Tuesday that it would
soon pay a dividend of 10 cents
share on its 100000 shares of

GIANT GASOLINE
Is In DEMAND
With Good Weather in Sight
Company Expects big Rush

company, despite the severe cold
weather Of the last few weeks
has been producing its wells on
the MCGOWAN lease on section
eight. The production from these
wells is being hauled to the re-
fnery at Keyin by trucks. This
oil is Of very high grade, having
a gravity of 38.5 degrees Baume
and containing practically no sui
phur, therefore being very desir-
able for use in the manufacture
of gasoline.
Due to the improved methods
of refining and chemical treat
ment the gasoline manufactured
and sold under the name Giant
Gasoline" is considered equal to
the best. Low initial which
insures easy starting in a cold
motor, uniform range of boil
ing points, which insures smooth
running motor and relatively
low end point which means max
imum mileage and power are all
embodied in Giant Gasoline"
Gasoline is composed Of units
called hydrocarbons Of different
molecular weights. The very
lightest of these monecuies are
the ones that evaporate most
readily in your motor, in other
words the ones that give gasoline
its initial or start. From the
initial" the boiling point of the
various monecules must increase
uniformally to a point at which
all the monecules will have eyap-
Grated, this point is called the
end point of gasoline. Too high
an end point will cause a portion
of the monecules to remain un-
burned and your motor looses
power, becomes carboned a d
your car is not getting the prop
er mileage from the gasoline. On
the other hand, the heavier mon
ecules generate more heat when
burned, therefore, do more work
than the lighter ones, hence it Is
readily seen that good gasoline
must have sufficient heavy none
clues in it to give the maximum
amount of heat which results in |
maximum motor power and still
not run SO heavy as to prevent
proper combustion.
The Montana Giant Petroleum
company with its present process
is making such gasoline. The
very latest methods of treating
are used, making the gasoline
clean, sweet and odorless. Nc
acids are used as these are al
ways detrimental to the motor.
The company, with its methods
of refining, will be keen COM
petitor for the gasoline trade in
this part of the state and Canada.
With good weather in sight
and increased demand for gaso-
line, the prospects for the refin-
ing business are very bright.
The company is operating its
pipe line and pumping crude to
its refinery. Continued opera
tion with steady increase to cap
acity of the plant is in prospect.

THE WISTERIA

THE cabin caught my eye as we

low mountains between Knoxville and
Oakdale. 1t was nestled against the
hillside with a fresh little garden sur
rounding it. Early spring had arrived
and the hillsides behind it were pink
and white with rhododendrons and
dogwood blossoms.
The cabin was old-how old 1t was
difficult to say-but the logs were
blackened and decaying.
The thing that attracted me and
held my attention was a wisteria vine
In full bloom that clambered up at
the end of the little log house.
Somebody had planted the vine
years ago perhaps, had tended 1t and
watched it grow and trained its long
slender shoots up the side Of the
cabin. Some one had watered it when
the sun was hot and scorched its ten
der leaves, and some one was happy
when it showed its first delicate lilac
blooms-some one who wanted home
rather than a house, and who, passing
on, had left thing of beauty to
gladden. the eyes and please the taste

ROADS COMMISSION
UPHELD BY BOARD
Allegany County Tribunal AL
lows State Commission To
Widen Highway.

Right of the State Roads Commits
by individuals under the unwritten
law of adverse possession" has been
declared legal by the Circuit Court of
Allegany county, when such encroach-
ment is in. the interest of the public
at large.
In an opinion of far-reaching impor-
lance in its effect ON similar cases
throughout the State, Judge Albert A.
Doub dismissed the request Of DR..
John A. Watson, of Cumberland, for
an injunction restraining the State
Roads Commission from destroying
property along the Cumberland pike,
now undergoing e pairs.
Costs of the case, however, must be
borne by the State Roads Commission,
since "they did not first invoke the
ordinary procedure of law when Wat
son trespassed on the right Of way"
Watson stated in his application
that he owns tract of land running
on both sides of the turnpike about q
miles east of Cumberland, and that in
repairing and widening the road the
Commission had overlapped the legal
boundary of the pike and destroyed
his fences within, SO feet of the center
of the road.
He also pointed out that although
the old Cumberland Turnpike Com
pany in 1909 hadl ceded the road to
the State Roads Commission, by
virtue of adverse possession"-the
fact that he had been in possession for
over 20 years the claim of the Com
mission to a width of s. feet of road
led was rendered illegal.
The Commission, through members
OF the Attorney Generals Office, con-
tended that the 66-foot width of the
road is legal and necessary because
of increased traffic and that they are
justified in destroying property in
line of the State road.
Counsel for the Commission also
argued that because the body is a
State agency it is exempt from 1iabil-
ity in such matters and that Watson's
claim was in direct conflict with the
sovereignty of the State. This con-
tention was not upheld by the court.
In summing up Judge Doub said
that Watson had failed to produce
necessary proof that the disputed
property was on his land, outside the
line of public highway, or that the
boundary of his land had been
invaded

Check On Brush Burning.

Legislation to require permits for
brush burning by farmers and others
clearing, their land will be sought at
the next session of the General AS
sembly in 1927, according to an an
nouncement by State Forester F. w.
Besley.
Carelessness of brush burners has
been responsible for more of the $50
forest fires which have occurred this
year than any other one cause, ac-
cording to Mr.. Besley.
Forestry officials contend that one
way of reducing the number of fires
is through requiring permits for
brush burning. They suggested that
a nominal fee be charged for the per-
mits, which, however, would not re-
lieve users of the permits from finan-
cial responsibility for damage caused
by fires spreading beyond control.

STATE RETURNS
DROP so PER CENT.
Md. q. Area Receipts OWN
die TO 81, O43, $50 In First
Quarter Of Year

A phenomenal drop in income tax
receipts of more than so per cent. in
the Maryland-District of Columbia
district was revealed for the first
three months of 1925 compared with
the corresponding period of 1924 in
figures just made public in Washing
ten.
Receipts for the district for the
three months of 1926 were only Sill
043,559, as against $23,045,599 for the
same period of 1924.
This was in spite of a grand total
decrease in receipts for the three
months in the entire United States of
only approximately 11.5 per cent. The
total figures for the first three months
OF 1925 in the country were $5S6,7S0,
1909. For the same three months of
last year they were s519, ,S2O.9S.
The Maryland District of Columbia
area showed the greatest decrease of
any area, except the State of South
Carolina, where receipts were $1,011,-
375, compared with $2,417, $40 for the
same period last year.
Galen L. TAFT, Collector of Internal
Revenue for this district, said the de-
crease was due in large measure to
the fact that during the first quarter
last year the Alien Property Custo-
dian paid over several million dollars
in income taxes. These payments
have not been received this year as
yet.
Mr. TAFT also pointed to the reduc-
ton in the rate of income tax this
year. He said, however, that full ex-
PLANTATION of the decrease must await
examination of his records.

An acquaintance of mine. kind
hearted old gentleman, owned young
collie who was handsome lovable ami
NAL, but who often disobeyed his mas

his chief derelictions was running at
ter the vehicles that passed his mas
ter's house, and barking and swapping
ut them. He was not dangerous but
annoying.
My friend was so fond Of the dog
that he could not bear to punish him
severely; he never inflicted actual
pain; but after each offense he would
talk to the dog, try to make him I'M
derstand what his fault had been, and
then shut him up in dark closet for
time to impress upon him the neces-
sity of obedience. Gradually the dog
learned. as dogs will. and even human
beings, but like the rest Of us, some
times the temptation was more than
he could resist.
One day mutual friend saw the
collie several blocks from, his home

responded, but the fire had then been
brought under control and the local
department was using all available
water connections.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Fifteen minutes after the discovery
was made, the entire planning mill
was enveloped in flames. A total of
