Reports this week are to the
effect that the Allen Oil company
is to enter the Kevin field. j. E.
Winter of Billings is vice presi-
dent and general manager. The
location that this company has is
in section 33-35-3west and is only
a short distance from the Big

who is now employed in one of
Keyin business places, was at
one time, field manager for this
concern and they are widely
known as oil operators, having
considerable acreage in the Salt
Creek, and Wyoming. field.
The west side of the field is
looking up better every day, and
such companies as this entering
shows beyond a doubt, that con-
siderable confidence is placed.
Gene Sollars, the we'll known con-
tractor, has the contract for the
Allen company's first well.

"PINKY" SAYS THEY
FELT The SHOCK

Monday morning at about $3.50
O'Clock, the border cities was
classed in the quake belt. The
trembler extended as far north
as Lethbridge and south to Sun
burst. At this place it lasted for
about three or four seconds, and
was noticeable by practically the
entire populace of the two towns.
The shock was felt distinctly
at the Thompson hotel by differ
ent oaes occupying the lobby.
Harry Watkins says it shook az
the dust off the cars in his gar
age, and repairs on the shelves
did the shimmy. At the First In
ternational bank, a man was in
the act of renewing a note, when
the quake jerked his hand aside
as he was about to put his sigma
ture on the dotted line.
Lon Edwards, one of the local
barber's was shaving customer
at the time the trembler was on,
and came within an inch of badly
cutting the man, when his razor
dropped from his hand.
At the Jake Nichols cigar store
the True Story magazines got all
mixed up with Jim Jam Jems
and few Somerset cigars jump
ed over into the Chancellor box.
According to Bill Simero, who
was here before the Sweet Grass
hills, this is the first earth quake
he ever knew of in this section |
of the country. Sweet Gras s 9

HARD BOILED

An editor and merchant were
discussing advertising. The mer-
chant contended that more peo-
pie read the billboards than the
newspapers. After long con-
versation. in which neither man
would give in, the men departed.
The next week the merchant
came tearing down to the news
paper office wanting to know
why the obituary of his wife's
mother was not in the paper, es-
pecialIy after he had seen that
the copy was taken to the news
paper office. "Well'' said the ed
itor, Il knew that you wanted
the obituary read by all the peo-
Pile, so | took it out and nailed it
on your billboard. "-Ex.

COMPANY PAYS
STOCKHOLDERS
Declared its Third Dividend for
Year and Checks MoiIed Out
by james K. Lang

The Kalispell-Kevin Oil COM
pany has declared it's third 21z
per cent dividend for the year
and checks have been mailed out
by James K. Lang, secretary of
the company, amounting to ST.
900. This makes nearly $21, 1000

1t has been decided by the of
ficials to give the stockholders a
two per cent monthly dividend
in the future and since this de-
cision three big wells have been
brought in which in themselves
will take care of the dividend.
The company is not a drilling
concern but deals in leases and
royalties. 1t originally secured
through C. L. Emmons, presi-
dent, 5000 acres in the most pro-
ductive area in the field. Out Of
40 wells drilled on this acreage
48 have been producers, with only
one dry hole, the best record of
any block of acreage in the field.
Fifteen of these have been com
pleted this summer and eight are
drilling t the present time.
Enough more have been contract
ed to bring the number to 100 be-
fore the end of the year. They
now have 1000 acres under con-
tract. which will call for 700
wells before drilling in complet-
ed. The company also holds roy
alties varying from 5 to 27 per
cent.
None of the Kalispell-Kevin
stock is on the market. Shares
are valued at 5000 to $3.50, the
par value being S10O. This was
sold for 1888. Over
half of the original shares re-
main in the treasury.

Many Tracts of Montana Land
Changing Hands at Reason
able Prices, Report Show

Advantages which the land of
Montana offers to investors is
again being realized among cap
italists.
A recent demonstration of re-
newed faith in Montana land was
shown when Twin City concern
bought 10000 acres in Montana
and North Dakota.
Considering the low prices for
Montana lands and acreage yields
greater than the national aver
age, these lands should be the
logical selection for the farmers
who seek to make the most of
their Investments" said Curtis
L. Mosher, federal reserve agent
for the Ninth district, when in
this territory recently.
IF the farmers of the United
States knew what Montana Of
fers in land values, you would
not need to wrfry bout obtain
ing settlers for Inese agricultural
areas of which Montana can so
justly be proud, he said.
While there is not yet a very
noticeable trend of settlers to
Montana's farm lands, at least
the trend is that way and the
conclusion Is obvious. The pur-
chase Of the $1,000 acres Of Mon
tana and North Ia. ota land indi-
Gates the con6deAGegwhieh is felt
toward Montana. a good crop
this year will mean great deal
toward bringing settlers to your
state.
"Montana's recovery has been
very rapid it has been very re-
markable. / doubt whether the
improvement has been better
anywhere. This is readily seen
from reports which the federal
reserve bank Of Minneapolis OBJ
tains from all resources. Your
banks have improved wonderful
yin the last year. They are much
better able to finance the farmers
than they were a year ago.
Whereas, a year ago. the de-
mands on the federal reserve for
this district were $56, 100000 to
take care Of current business
needs, now they are only $1,000
900. The banks are in better
condition than they have been
in several years"

Farm Conditions on G. n.
System Better Than 1924

General agricultural conditions
this year throughout the north
west should be equally good, if
not better than those of last year,
in the opinion Of w. P. Kenney,
vice president of the Great North
ern railway.
I h e volume Of business s
greater this year than last year
over the entire Great Northern,
Mr.. Kenney stated. Higher
grain prices seem certain to
counteract the effects of the
smaller crop and | believe north
western farmers will receive as
much money for this years crop
as they did for that of last year,
Notwithstanding the fact that
this years is smaller" Mr.. Ken
ney said.
Lumber shipments are reach
ing large proportions and the
Wenatchee valley is looking for
ward to one of the largest fruit
crops in its history. Lumber
movement was poor in 1924 and
last years Wenatchee crop was
virtually wiped out. Fruit condi-
tions in the Kalispell district are
poor, but grain crops are excell-
ent, Mr.. Kenney said.

than $4,000 to certain counties and
against the state fund. What net
gain the state highway fund may de
rive is, therefore, in doubt.
Expenses of administration In con
nection with the motor fuels tax are
estimated to be about $4,000 year.
The total net revenue from gas tax
for the biennium is placed at about
$1,3O5, 900.
Another problem - presented to
county assessors and the state depart
ment of law enforcement by reason
of the new vehicle registration law is
that of rebates for 1925 licenses paid
by owners before it's enactment. Each
fthese whose fee is less under the
new law is entitled to a. return Of
the difference between new and old
fees. ~
By the terms of the bill applica-
lions for these refunds must be made
to the county assessor on or before
April Is. Each assessor will present
claim for the total account repre-.
scented by all the applications received
to his county commissioners. Each
county in turn will present the claim
to the state department. Adjust
ments with individual owners will be
made after the state and the counties
have settled these claims n

BOISE, Idaho.-House bill No. 327
establishing new scale of registra.
ton fees for motor vehicles was sign
ed by Gov. q. G. Moore and is now in
force. It affects more than 10000
auto and truck owners in the state
and all those who will drive through
the state in the next two years and il
makes decided change in the reve-
nue. to be derived by the state and the
counties.
Fees for all lighter cars weighing
q ton or less are reduced from SIS to
$12 which is the base fee. An ad.
ditional charge Of 81 is made for 100
pounds in excess of ton. This is
for new cars. For those three years
old $11 is the base, with 80 cents for
each 100 pounds additional. For cars
more than four years old, $40 and 80
cents per 100 pounds is the rate.
A Scent gasoline tax it is calcu-
lated, will produce a gross revenue in
1925 of 100000, and in 1925 Of $780,
600. Out Of this refunds will be made
under the new gas tax for fuel not
used on the highways. This may total
100000 year.
From the net proceeds the new law
apportions sums aggregating more
highway districts holding old claims

Says Superpower in
Broadcasting Wrong

"Superpower" in radio broadcasting
is wholly bad from the viewpoint OF
public policy says William H. Priess,
president Of a large radio concern.
This movement has sugar-coated its
purpose by appropriating the name OF
an economically sound and publically
desirable project; namely, the bring
ing together of separated electrical
generated plants, or "superpower,' to
afford service safety factor, unie6rnl-
ity of load distribution, and economy
in power generation, all the benefits
of which appear as a dollar-and.cent
saving to the whole public fed by the
network.
"Superpower" in broadcasting might
better be termed monopoly in the
audible distribution of information,
subject to the coloring of single
group who hope to enjoy profits from
it's distribution. If they are permitted
to combine the wireline facilities of
this country with the transmitting
| facilities, both facilities being exclu3
sively held because of patents, they
will be enabled to form tremendous
monopoly with voice that repeats in
every large community in the land
and dominates and blankets out the
smaller independent stations.
Since such a monopoly is organized
primarily for gain, will it not use the
public utilities and our free space
solely for this purpose? What is to
prevent such an admittedly selfish
group from rafting our loud speakers
with paid soap propaganda, paid pack
ing industry propaganda, paid organ
coffee, tobacco, photograph, chain
store, player piano propaganda, thinly
disguised by innumerable repetitions
of the names of these companies and
the multitudinous use Of the products
of these companies mentioned by
their trade names? What is to pre-
vent them from pushing their OWL
monopolistic propaganda to further
increase their gain? Who wants tt
listen always to one side of az
argument?

OLD CASTLES in EUROPE
LACK MODERN EQUIPMENT

CHICAGO.-Old King Cole missed
the comforts enjoyed by the most
modest American home of today, &C.
cording to the national association OF
ice industries. Perhaps his "flddlers
three" Offset the fun of radio. Pranc-
ing steedsy may have been better than
gas buggies Still there we're handi-
caps that even such cheer leader as
Merry King Cole could hardly laugh
off.
Europe's old castles are today with
out telephones, plumbing facilities, re-
frigerators and bath tubs with run
ming water This was shown when
number of minor monarchs, firing of
the king business, offered their royal
domiciles for sale to prosperous Am
orleans. A bath means filling the tub
a bucketful at a time, with a resultant
temperature that chills or scalds.
To reign in some of the isolated
castles one must not only show fore
bearance with the curious bathing rit-
ual, but must adjust the appetite to
dishes not dependent upon ice for,
preservation.
Comparing the lot of the minor Eu-
ropean monarch with that of the av-
erage "poor" American who, according
to the association, uses a half-ton Of
ice annually in the preservation and
consumption Of foodstuffs, who has
bath tubs with hot and cold running
water, and who has telephones and
electric lights, "it is little wonder that
so many tottering castles are for sale.
Castles are for romance rather than
for health, sanitation and physical
comfort" says the association.

Application Of Paint

To obtain the best results paint
should always be stirred to an even
and creamy consistency before and
during application. Plenty of energy
should be used to brush the paint or
enameloid into the wood and to
spread the substance into thin, uni
form coats.
