Not the woul-be Oriental music of

China POWDER
BARREL IN THE
BROILING EAST
The Chinese Masses Are
Backing Sun Vat Sen
BY JACK ARMITAoE
(For The Federated Press.)

YOKOHAMA, Jan. 12.-The
present lulI In the hostiIities in
China is but an armed peace,
ready to burst into flame of
war at any moment.
Popular opinion, judging by
reports from different parts of
China, will demand that Sun
Vat Sen be made head of the
government with headquarters
at Peking.
Hits Foreign Treaties.
Such government, once firmly es-
tablished, would be a deathblow to all
the aims of the powers. The position
would be more acute than ever, for
Sun has repeatedly and emphatically
stated that he will not observe the
present treaties with foreign powers.
In that he will have the backing not
only of China, but of all Asia, and
Russia playing the leading role. 1t
will then be up to the powers to either
ANONYMOUSLY climb down or to con-
quer Asia.
How far the armed forces of the
powers could get is question. To
occupy treaty ports is an easy mat
ter, but that would barely affect even
China. To all intents they are occu-
pied at the present moment. For the
powers to conquer China would be a
bigger undertaking than Napoleon's
march to Moscow. China would well
come it as part of her strategy. The
coast, and some of the rivers, could
be held but to conquer the interior
is a different proposition.
Sees Lightning Change.
The situation in oriental countries
is undergoing lightning change. Rus
STA will be a powerful influence in
China, both militarily and politically.
Some are inclined to the belief that
Japan will not throw in her lot with
China. However, things political in
Japan are altering rapidly.
Recent events in the Yang-tse val
lev show the trend of public opinion
in China 1t is here that the country
is most thickly populated, for the
Yang-tse carries along its valley one
eighth of the worlds population. Radi-
cal propaganda has been extensively
and -raethodically disseminated among
these people, most of it emanating
from Shanghai and Canton. These
people are in no mood to tolerate
concessions to foreigners.
With the people of the Yang-tse and
south China at his back Sun Vat Sen
holds a strong position. He has al
ways been the idol of the Cantonese
and the overseas Chinese, who are
radical in thought These people have
literally poured money into his war
chest, especially from America and
Australia.
At the moment foreign newspapers
are full of the most ridiculous calu
mnies regarding Sun. That may be
well enough for foreign readers, but it
will have no influence on the Chinese.
Sun Vat Sen is the chosen leader of
the revolutionary elements in China.
It is hardly to be conceived that he
would sell them into the hands of
their enemies, as some writer's would
have us believe, and that is the only
thing which would discredit him with
his followers.
Foreign financial interests will have
to find a strong man to stem the wave
of radicalism which has fast spread
thruout China. The question today is
not, will there be war, but where will
il end? The situation at Pekin is a
match which may set fire to the pow
der barrel of the orient.

Hit 100000 Foot
Flow in New Gasser

A giant gasser, tapped early
Sunday morning about eight
miles north of Shelby in section
20-33-1w, continued Monday to
pour ont grs at a rate estimated
between 20, 900, 900 ard 80, 100000
feet and oil men who returned
from the we'll declared it the
largest ever found in the state.
Big rocks, gravel and mud,
hurled high in the air by the
tremendous underground power
plant, pelleted the ground sur
rounding the we'll for a widearea.
Due to factors attending the sud-
den tapping of the well, it has
thus far been difficult to estimate
the flow, but experienced oil men
say it is unparalleled in Montana
oil history.
Several who went to the well
and saw it's performance say it is
three times larger than the Berg
gasser, which came in at 7,600,-
900 foot and held that mark for
many days. That was in 1922 and
the Berg well has kept the field
record since. A Canadian oil COM
pany owns the well, which is be-
ing drilled by Flood & Watson.
The gas is apparently wet and
the close proximity of the well
leads many in the oil town to be-
lieve that it indicates the pres
ence of possible production much
closer to Shelby than was ever
before thought. Tribune.

KEVIN SHOW HOUSE
OPENED TUESDAY
With GOOD CROWD

The opening of the Keyin Show
house took place Tuesday even
ing when the proprietor George
Beaverton of Shelby and Sun
burst showed one of the best pic
lures staged to packed house.
The opening picture was, in
Hollywood, starring Potash and
Perlmutter. The opening of the
Kevin show house is only a begin
ming of what will happen here as
the spring rush approaches, be-
sides seeing thousands of wells
pnt down, Kevin will probably
soon enjoy bank, hotel and
fresh water running into your
house from the d. H. S. springs.
Mr.. Beaverton is to be congrat-
ulated on preparing Kevin to be
in the front row with Shelby and
Sunburst in securing the very
best pictures that can be obtain
ed. He has fitted up nice bull
ding and in a few weeks when
such improvements will be made
as necessary will make it second
to none. The services of Al
Presby have been secured by Mr..

SULPHUR WATER
In KEVIN WELL;
BRIDGING BACK

A flow of sulphur water at g.
| 010 feet has brought to a conclu-
sion drilling at the well of the
Kelvin Oil & Gas syndicate. six
miles north west of Kevin. The
work of bridging the well back
to the four-foot producing sand
found at 1886 was begun Mon
day m ing an d a test
of the production found there
will be made as soon as the pre-
sent work is completed. Parties
interested in the we'll say that
the production from the 1 1886
foot horizon has been estimated
at faom 25 to 100 barrels a day,
and report from the field has it
that a bailer test showed the
flow to be at the rate of 16 bar
rels day A 15-foot sand, heavi-
ly saturated with oil, was found
at 1850 and when the hole is
plugged to that point a shot may
be discharged to determine if
production is possible there ac-
cording to reports.

QUEEN CITY 8
COMES In BIG
Production Hit in Ellis at Some
Depth of johnson Well
Placed Under Conttol.

The Queen City No. Swell, east
offset to the Johnson we'll in sec
tion A 34-2 west, came into pro-
duction from the Ellis sand Fri
day night with an estimated
flush flow of 1000 barrels, though
1T was thought that the first rush
of oil may have exceeded that
figure, according to reports. The
well was under complete control
and the flow was diverted into
tankage without the oil going ov-
er the crown block.
Because of the stand of oil in
the hole from stray sand found
at a shallower horizon, the bit
neared the Ellis without the crew
being able to tell whether new
oil was coming into the hole. At
l ,482 it was decided to use the
swab and resultant agitation is
thought to have caused the oil to
break through the few inches of
formation intervening between
the bit and the Ellis. The oil
followed the swab out of the hole
with a rush, filling a three inch
pipe to capacity and it still was
flowing at that rate at the last
The Johnson well was complet-
ed at l, 1,485, but a three foot diff
ference in surface elevation MAX
es the producing depth in the
Queen City identical with that of
its neighbor. II was stated that
the Queen City is the first in
stance where well in this group
has found production in the Ellis
after getting oil in the stray sand
found at different locations in
the vicinity. The production from
the stray sand was estimated to
be 500 barrels a day, but nearly
300 feet Of cavings prevented an
accurate measurement.

Chinook Gets Beet Factory

Chinook, Feb. IA Residents
of Chinook were awakened at
Midnight Friday night by the
blowing of fire sirens and the
ringing of church bells to hear

from w. H. Watts, vice presi-
dent of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company Of Salt Lake City,
definitely designating Chinook

valleys 81, 100000 sugar factory.
The factory will be erected on
ground just east of the city
which had been offered by the

enthusiasm and extent, matched
that given in November, 1918,
upon the signing Of the armis-
tice, followed the blowing Of
whistles a s rapidly a S towns

they dressed quickly and partic-
ipated in the celebration until al
most daybreak.

Chinook Commercial club said:
After careful investiga-
tion and thorough considera-
tion of the entire Milk River
valley, and having been ass
ured of the hearty co-opera-
ton and support of the val

lish our first factory there
upon the site Immediately
east of Chinook furnished by

The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1925-02-19

Approximately 5000 acres of
sugar beets will be cultivated in
the Milk River valley this year.
This will give employment, it is
stated, to about 500 men during
the beet season. Two hundred
and fifty men will be employed
lin the factory during the peak of
| the season, it is announced.
| T he sugar beet campaign,
which has reached it's climax with
the designation of a big factory
at Chinook, is not a new idea in
the Milk River valley or at Chin
ook. 1t was in January of 1906,
19 years ago last month that the
effort to start the beet indstry
in the valley was taken up in an
organized way. There was talk
of contracting acreage for beet
growing with a view to persua-
ding some sugar campany to put
in a factory. Negotiations were
begun with the Amalgamated
Sugar company of Utah and in
May, Judge Henry Rolapp, rep
resenting that company, visited
the valley and investigated the
situation.
The Amalgamated company at
first gave the local people some
encouragement and during that
season there was more or less
contract with that company on
the proposition. That spring the
Chinook Commercial club offered
a $50 prize for the best quarter
acre plot Of sugar beets grown
within Is miles of Chiook in 1906.
There were number of plots put
in but troubles over the Milk
River water supply were coming
to head at that time and moth
ing definite could be obtained
from the Amalgamated company.
The Great Western Sugar COM
pany factory had begun to oper-
ate at Billings by that time and
to stir up interest in the industry,
an excursion was arranged from
Chinook to Billings to visit the
Billings factory. The Great Nor
thern gave special rates for the
party and on Nov. 10, a party Of
40 farmers and business men
from Chinook and Harlem and
the intervening valley left for.

The party came home enthu-
siastic over the beet industry.
