kelvin TO HAVE
SECOND SUPPLY
HOUSE SHORTLY
Old BuiIdinG Now Being Torn
Down to Make Space for
New Establishment

Three hundred feet of right of
way on the Great Northern line
at Kevin has been leased by the
Great Northern Tool and Supply
company, a new concern which
will deal exclusively in supplies
for the oil fed. j. H. O'Donnell
of Shelby is president of the
company and j. H. Hayes, for
merly with the National Supply
company of Shelby and Sunburst,
is district manager.
The company have men at
work this week tearing down the
old warehouse that is owned by
A. Goeddertz Jr., to make room
for the new buildings that will
be moved in by the new concern.
1t is stated. on good authority,
that the company has bought
the Parkersburg Rig and Reel
buildings at Sunburst and this
will be moved into Kevin just as
soon as the old building is torn
down. 1t is also stated that the
company will run a first class
shop in connection with
their supply house.
The old material of the ware
house is being placed on a lot
southwest of the Review office,
and it is reported that A. Coed
dertz, Jr., contemplates working
it in on a 100000 community
hall which he intends erecting
within a short time. kelvin is
looking up these days, and why
not, are we not sitting right in
the center of the largest oil field
in the United States?

Phalen-V -Venis

G. E. Phalen, who is in charge
of the Peoples Meat Market
slipped one over on the people
of Kevin when he and Miss Ger
trude Vents quietly slipped down
to Shelby last Sunday June 18th,
and were united in marriage, the
Rev. w. G. Wampler, pastor of
the Methodist church tieing the
knot that binds.
The bride is a former resident
of Conrad where she is widely
known and has a host of friends.
The groom has been a resident
Of Kevin since the installation of
the Peoples Meat Market in our
city, he having entire control of
this establishment.
The newly married couple have
taken up their residence in the
Grandma Goeddertz house in the
north part Of the city, and the
many friends of these two new
comers will join with the Review
in wishing them happiness and
prosperity.

FIELD OUTPUT
FIXEDAT 9,45O
BARRELS DAILY
Oil and Gas Association Ex-
pert Surveys Areo; Claims
$4,000 Barrels in Week

The actual daily oil production
of the Kevin field was reported
Saturday night by w. F. Britten
Of the Rocky Mountain Oil & Gas
association to be 9,450 barrels or
a total of 5000 barrels for the
week ended Saturday night. Mr..
Britten made his report in Great
Falls after spending the week in
the field in the interest of the
association.
my fgnres were obtained by
personally visiting every produc-
ing well in the field and | am
satisfied that they are correct. !"
said Mr.. Britten. My figures
are somewhat larger than those
shown in other reports, but | ac-
count for the difference from the
fact that my survey took into ac-
count all oil used for fuel and
that received by different small
refineries which is not ordinarily
included in the totals Of the pipe
line runs"
This showing serves to furth-
er emphasize the important place
the field is occupying in the oil
industry and from activities go
ing on there now and those con-
templated, it is easily apparent
that even greater development is
just ahead. By midsummer the
production as well IS. the field
work is liable to reach much
greater volume than now.
There are sections Of the field
whose activity now resembles
that of miniature Chicago. In
places the crowd in the field re-
sembles those on the boulevards
Of a big city. That is especially
true at wells where competitions
are expected. 1t is no uncommon
sight to see from 20 to 40 auto
mobiles clustered around we'll
that is due to tap the producing
sand, and that means that there
is from say rs to 200 persons
gathered within small space.
When the same condition is re-
peated at several places over the
field the crowd Of visitors there
can be sensed as it really is.
All this is in addition to the
regular working forces j n the
field. Field men, officials of com
panies, truck crews and men en-
ployed in various capacities away |
from ne rigs help swell the
crowd. 1t is not too much to say |
that the field is a hive of activity |
and it is apparent that both the
speed of the work and the volume |
Of development is increasing. AS
a matter Of fact, it is necessary |
to spend some time in the field |
to actually realize the extent of |
operations under way there. -

Operations have been resumed
at the Potlatch-Adams deep test
in 21-34-1 W. Drilling was start
ed after shutdown since Feb.
due to the loss of string of
tools. Depth is 4 ,445 feet. They
have given up the attempt to mill
a new pin on the lost drill stem
and are trying to drill past the
tools. 1t is planned to set six-inch
casing to hold tools against the
side of the hole while they drill
by.
At the time Of the shut down
geologists estimated they were
less than 100 feet from a possible
producing formotion and the test
will go at least that deep.

WASHINGTON, June 20. - So
very, very near and yet 90 far. That
is the tantalizing situation in which
the Old Guard finds itself in the mat
ter of Senate control.
With a solid basis of forty-four
misunderstanding G.. o. P. reg
ulars, the Republican regulars need
four more votes to gain absolute
domination of the Senate. That
would give them forty-eight, and
with Vice President Dawes, in the
chair to break tie votes, the Re-
publican program would be assured
clear sailing.

and Laid have caused the Repub-
leans to hope they can replace these
two Progressives with regular Re-
publicans. In each case there is a
very large eff" Both La Toilette
and Ladd had strong support among
their constituents and it is wholly
probable that their successors will be
men of their own progressive views.
But the fact that Wisconsin is
represented by Lenroot, who has de-
veloped into regular Republican,
and that North Dakota was repre-
sented for twenty-four years by Por-
ter j. McCumber Of tariff renown,
encourages the Republicans to hope
these states will now send men of
the Lenroot-McCumber type instead
of another La Toilette and another

Leaping easily past these two ire

imaginations are given free rein
once more. There are in the Sen

moe or less regular. The bona fide
regulars are convinced that If it be-

An Honor for Rotary

0 LITTLE group of men in the City of
~ Cleveland paid the members of Rotary
international high compliment the other day
Rotary has just held it's convention there,
with some $4,000 in attendance.
These Clevelanders were bootleggers. They
had laid in extra supplies preparing for a
rushing business. But they were sorely disap-
pointed.
Most conventions mean heavy profits for
the bootleggers. They have learned that when
a lot of men foregather in a strange city they
usually call loudly for drinks.
But with Rotary is was different. Sales
absolutely were not above normal, it was re
ported.
These guys must take their ideals serious
W. complained one of the bootleggers.
That's just it. They do. That's why the
name Rotary is honored Throughout the
country.

| SHIP AH0Y! ON
WHITE RIVER
BY GAYLORD NELSON

HRMY ENGINEERS have
IA conducted a survey of
White River to determine
the possibility. from the engineer
ing and economic standpoint, OF
improving the stream for naviga-
ton. The survey is in connection
with movement to utilize the
waterways Of the Mississippi VAL
ley.
Probably It will be some time
before a citizen Of Indianapolis can
scan the horizon near the sewage
disposal plant and exclaim ship
ahoy!" as majestic liner or squat
barge cleaves the pallid bosom Of
White River. Water transporta-
ton has been dream in the States
of the Ohio valley for years-but
1t fails to materialize.
Development Of inland water
ways is le-theoretically. But
there Is a catch in it somewhere.
The Federal Government has
spent untold millions in river i'm
provements without discernible
results.
Water transportation is cheap.
Heavy freight doesn't wear out the
water as it does paved roads or
steel rails.
In Europe the rivers are great
transportation arteries. The Rhine.
Danube and other streams carry
an immense traffic. They are in
valuable industrial allies. Amer
lean rivers, on the other hand,
carry mostly Congressional appro-
priations and sewage.
But American rivers. particular
ly the Mississippi and its tribu-
taries. can be made useful. So far
inland waterways have carried
more enthusiasm than freight.
However last year the Mississippi
and Warrior River barge line. a
wartime project. showed a profit
from it's operations. It is the only
enterprise the Government ever
operated profitably.
The success OF that project
proves the economic possibilities of
inland waterways. Their develop
ment depends on freight. not en-
thusiastic talk.

"A White House
Spokesman Says

T has slong been the rule that the Presl-
l dent must not be quoted by newspaper
correspondents. Twice each week-Tuesday
noon and Friday at p. m.-the correspond
ents gather around the Presidents desk for
enlightenment on current subjects of interest
They write what they learn but they must not
attribute their information to the President.
II They must say ga White House spokes-
man says" cit is learned at the White
House" "Those close to the President say,
f'The White House let it become known,
" According to an intimate friend of the Presi-
dent or some one of the other mysterious
phrases to which newspaper readers have be-
come accustomed. But they must not say
e The President says"
If The President confines his discussion of
events and policies almost entirely to process
of answering questions. These are submitted
in written form by the correspondents ten
minutes preceding the interview. Some ne
answers at length, some briefly, and some not
at all.
Present at these interviews is one of the
President s stenographers, who keeps record
of every word spoken. This is for the Presi-
dents protection against misquotation. That
is to say, it. is to prevent any correspondent
from attributing to "The White House spokes
man, - GA close friend Of the Presiden' or
any of the other DISCUSSES, something lich
the President did not say.
Occasionally the President has seen to
deny certain statements attributed to himself
in this indirect, round about manner. Then
correspondents have sought and obtained ac-
cess to the official stenographer's notes to set
tie the question of accuracy.
Without going into the question Of which
proved to be correct, the President or the cor
respondent, there is this to be told: The
President has stopped all access by CORE
spondents to the stenographer's notes and has
also ordered that the correspondents, who hap
pen to be stenographers also, may not take
stenographic notes.
This would seem to end the usefulness of
the Presidents conferences with newspaper
men. 1t would leave President free to re-
pudiate any statement concerning his views
that displeased him or concerning which he
might change his mind after he had spoken.
The correspondent is now without pro-
lection and, to be safe, must write solely to
please.

Perhaps they were. Anthem
ticy of the communications can

ficult for a skeptic.
The average person would be
less skeptical Of alleged psychic
messages if such communications
were more often couched in the
language and style their purported

never are. In psychic messages
Shakespeare uses baby talk IN

Our communications from the

static, but it's queer static that
mangles grammar and style. It's
not strange that most people doubt
the authenticity OF such messages.
