a purpose, but there is no further
public good that they can serve.
With normal conditions once more es-

Interference with economic processes.
The time is at hand for a thorough

enterprise and private initiative under
unhampered competitive conditions.
Government influence and political in
reference in respect to business
should be reduced to an absolute
minimum. We as bankers ask no
special privileges for ourselves.
Equally we are opposed to special
privileges for other groups at the
expense of the general welfare. The
experience of the past few years has
been one of the greatest demonstra-

COL. WILLARD
HERE TO HOLD
OIL MEETING
Trustees Of Campbell Kelvin
Syndicate Expected to Mop
Out Big Program.

Col. Harry 0. Willard Of Lew
istown, regarded by oil operators
generally as the leader Of the
lGordon Campbell Kevin Oil syn
dicate, since the recent election
of DR.. w. d. Roy of Great Falls
as a trustee, succeeding Gordon
Campbell, discoverer of the north
field. arriydd here Friday for a
conference with local associates.
Colonel Willard, elected a trus-
tee on March %, 1929 declined
to state what plans are under
consideration by the new board
of trustees which also includes
E. M. Harvey of Eugene, Ore.
He also declined to state wheth-
er or not the trustees had been
called to meet, but the presence
of two trustees in the city leads
to the belief that some action
with reference to the syndicate s
future operation is to be formed.
The defeat of Mr.. Campbell as
a trustee attracted wide aften-
ton due to the difference >nown
to exist between the field Giscov-
erer and Colonel Willard. Much
speculation attends the attitude
which Mr.. Campbell will take
and likewise interest centers on
the next move of the new trus-
tees.
Interest is also added to the
controversy in view of the fact
that Colonel Willard, DIR. Roy,
nine other individuals and the
Montana Oil Journal, published
in Great Falls, were recently
named defendants in 100000
damage suit filed by Mr.. Camp
bell in which he charged a con
spiracy" to injure his credit and
interfere with his oil operations.

BACK TO NORMAL

In no period since the war has
greater progress in the return to nor
NAL business conditions been made
by industry, commerce and finance
than during the past year. This re-
establishment of normal conditions
has been brought about by the work
ing Of purely economic influences.
These influences and this result com
pletely refute the arguments and pre-
tensions of opportunist politicians and
radical demagogues who have sought
to bring about readjustment by po-
litical measures. These measures
were aimed to give gratuitous advan-
tages to the special interests and
classes which the proposers assumed
to represent, to the detriment of the
general good.
The virtual disappearance, by nat
ural economic processes, of the abb
normalities that have persisted. as the
long drawn out aftermath of the war,
has removed whatever justification
their presence seemed to give for
governmental paternalsm and for
special measures of relief for par
ticularly distressed classes. At best
these measures we're merely sedatives

THIRTY MILLION FEET
OF GAS In BOWES 2

County Oil & Gas Co., Ben N.
Forbes and California company,
control practically the entire acre
age on the Bowes structure, a
total Of approximately 10000
acres.
A test we'll is now being put
down on this structure by the
California company for oil, and
they are now drilling at a depth
of about $500 feet. If they are
successful in finding oil in COM
mercial quantity, other deep wells
will be put down as soon as
spring opens.
But in any event an active
drilling campaign is planned for
that structure in the spring, and
a number of gassers will be brot
in as soon as possible. An absorp-
ton plant for the extraction of
gasoline from the wet gas has
already been purchased and is
expected to arrive some time this
month. Similar plants which are
being used with marked success
in the Calgary and other oil
fields, will be something new for
this state. The one purchased is
what is known as the Newton
process and embodies all Of the
latest methods for the extraction
of gasoline content from the gas.
The high production Of gas to-
gether with the width of the
sand in which it was encounter
ed is said by oil men to be an eX
ceptionally good Indication for a
long lived field. Already plans
are afoot to use the gas after the
gasoline has been extracted for
industrial purposes, either in the

miles south of Chinook. or to pipe

FIRM DEMANDS
RETURN ON BIG
LEASE TRACTS
Montana Canadian Oil Com
pony Files Suit Against
Gladys Belle.

A suit in equity seeking re-
conveyance of a huge block of OF
and gas leases in Toole and Lib.
erty counties now held by the
! Gladys Belle Oil company, an
Oklahoma corporation. was filed
in the United States district court
Thursday Dy the Montana Cana
dian Oil company. The suit was
originally filed in the state dis
trict court at Shelby, but was
transferred to the Great Falls
federal district court on motion
| of the defendants.
The Montana Canadian COM
pany charges as a basis for its
action that F. M. Bell of Butte
failed to comply with the terms
of a drilling contract which he
entered into with the plaintiff
company, and that because of
this it lost leases and drilling
equipment. In March, 1922, the
complaint sets out, Mr.. Bell en-
tered into a contract with the
Montana Canadian company un-
der which he was to drill a test
well on the neAneA 1872 e,
and was to receive a three-quart-
ers interest in the leases held by
the company as compensation for
his work.
The Montana Canadian compa-
ny, according to the complaint,
at that time owned $4,000 acres
in Toole and Liberty counties.
Among the provisions of the con-
tract was one which provided
that if drilling was abandoned,
the company was to BID given five
days notice. Mr.. Bell the COM
plant charges, abandoSed drill
ing but failed to notify the Mon
tana Canadian company and in
so doing completely destroyed
the said well and brea&hed its
obligation.
By so doing, the Montana-Ca-
madam company contends. it lost
not only the we'll but also lost
drilling equipment and castings
valued at $4,000. Such further
relief as shall be just and equita-
ble," and costs are sought aside
from an order requiring that the
Gladys Belle company reconvey |
all leases and rights to the land.
According to council for the
defense, none of the land involv-
ed is included in that recently
taken over by the Oil Producers
syndicate from the Gladys Belle
company.

CALL MEETING
TO CLOSE OIL
FIRM MERGER
Mutual Stockholders Plan In
crease in Stock Value, Name
Changed to Continental.

Final steps to make the merg-
er of the Mutual and Continen-
tai Oil companies complete may
be taken at Portland, Maine, jan
uary 27 when stockholders of the
former company assemble in a
special session to consider pro-
posal that the Mutual company's
name be changed to the Contin-
entail Oil company and that the
par value of the stock be increas-
ed from S. to $40 a share.
The two companies, both of
which operate extensively in
Montana and the Rocky mount
ain district, were merged early
in 1924, but each have operated
separately since that time. Both
have distributing plants in Great
Falls and each has a separate Of
flee and distributing personnel.
While rumors have been current
for some time that the Mutual
Oil company would lose its iden-
tity as such, - coming meeting
of Mutual stockholders is the
first definite step in that direc-
ton.
If the plan is ratified, as ap-
pears certain, present stockhold-
ers of the Mutual company will
receive one share of Continental
stock for each two shares now
heidi the Denver Post says.
There are outstanding 200, 900
shares Of Mutual stock.
THE change in name is made
in order to retain advantage of
the good will enjoyed by the Con-
tinental Oil company in it's dis
tributlng organization. w h C h
was built up from a small begin
ming in 1884. For many years
the Continental Oil company was
the marketing organization for
the old Standard Oil company of
New Jersey in the Rocky Mount
ain region, and it was only with
in the last few years that it en-
gagged in the production and re-
fining Of oil.
The Continental company is
domiciled in all the states in its
trade territory, and its contin-
uance in this sphere will result
in many economies which other
wise would prove burden upon
the Mutual company if it were
required to qualify to do business
in many states.
mo change in the authorized |
capitalization is contemplated
other than the reduction in the
number of shares from 100000
to 100000. The present divi-
dend rate of 10 per cent will also
be retained, the annual payment
on the new stock being 81 in
stead of so cents as now paid on
Mutual shares.

TWIN CITY MEN
TAKE OVER ].
ROCK OUTFIT
West Side of Field to Have
Busy Year is Prediction of
Oil Operators.

Drilling operations on the west
side of the field are expected to
be of a very active nature during
the vicinity of Kevin, also be-
tween there and the Stewart
wells in section 25-35-3 west and
the Alexander-C Campbell we'll in
section l3 of the same township.
Several good producers have been
completed during the past season
in the west end of the field but
have not received much attention
on account of the far greater
amount Of development work
done in the Shoshone group in A.
34-2 west ana on the east side of
the field.
Recently a deal was closed with
capital from Minneapolis who
are taking over the Rookie per-
nit in section 27- 1853 west. This
lease is located about two miles
south of the Alexander Campbell
producer and about l 1-2 miles
west of the two Stewart wells.
A standard rig is now located on
this lease, a well having been
commenced last season and drill
ed to a depth of about 400 feet.
Rev. G. S. B. Hole, of Minneapol-
is, who represented the Minnea-
polls company, has returned to
that city to complete the details
of the transaction. Bill Elliott
has been awarded the contract
for the completion of the we'll
and it is reported that work will
be commenced very soon.
Dilling has been at almost
standstill in this part of the field
ever since the completion of the
Campbell discovery well in March
1922. AS is usually the case land
jumped in value until the prices
asked for leases were prohibitive.
This has had a tendency to dis
courage the small Independents
and it has not been until recent
ly that land has been priced at
something near its real value in
this part of the field. On the
east side this condition was just
the reverse. Leases were on the
for the asking. Less than
a year ago many leases were TAX
en- over on the east side which
have since proven to be excep-
productive. Encounter
