.SOLBERG WINS CASE
FROM SUNBURST Oil

Shelby, July Ia. The sum OF
$3.50 has been awarded the
plaintiff as result Of the second
retrial here of Martin Solberg VS.
Sunburst Oil and Gas company,
a case which has been hanging
fire for three years.
The case is an action to cancel
Gordon Campbell lease on land
belonging to Martin Solberg on
the grounds that Campbell did
not start drilling operations with
in the specified time. The QroYi-
sions of the lease called for act
ual spudding in on the land but
Campbell contended that he was
within the time limit as he had
| his rig upon the location.
Suit was commenced October
1922 and the case was first brot
to trial January, 1923, before
Judge Pomeroy who took the
case from the jury and decided
it in favor Of the defendent, the
Sunburst Oil and Gas company.
On appeal by Solberg this deci-
sion was reversed, the supreme
court holding that Solberg was
entitled to trial by jury.
The re-trial was held in Shelby
June, 1924, before Judge Won
Toblee who also took the case
from the jury and decided it in
favor of the Sunburst Oil and
Gas company. Solberg again ap-
pealed the case and the decision
was reversed for the second time,
the supreme court holding that
the provision requiring drilling
operations to commence within
certsin time was breaclGI by
Campbell's failure to spud in.
The third trial opened in Shell
by July 8 and was heard in court
for four days, July 8, 9, 10 and II
hafore District Judge George
Bourquin Of Butte. This time the
Jury brought in verdict in fav-
or of the plaintiff, who was a.
warded damages amounting to
$3.50. Louis P. Donovan was
attorney for the plaintiff while
George Hurd and Homer G.
Murphy represented the Sun
burst Oil and Gas company in all
three trials.
Campbell did not appear in the
action as the lease was signed
over to l.. c. Stephenson and
then to the Sunburst Oil and Gas
company. This decision after the
many trials is a decisive victory
for the plaintiff, the owner of
the land the lease was on, and Is
looked on with great interest by
lawyers and those having inter
ests in the Keyin-Sunburst field.
The last trial brought out the
fact that on none of the Campbell
leases haye drilling operations
started within the specified time.

Hill ENTERS
kelvin FIELD
AS OPERATOR
Great Northern Officer Buys
Hogan Tract; Becomes As
socioted With O'NeiIIs

Shelby. That Louis w. Hill
dominant factor in the Great
Northern railway, Tuesday en-
tered the Kevin oil field as an ac-
tive operator was declared by
numerous men here to be a Ger.
tainty. Mr.. Hill Tuesday night
concluded a three-day visit here
and in the field, and it was as
serted on apparently reliable au-
thority that he had purchased
outright a tract Of $50 acres and
half interest in another tract
of 120 acres, with plans complet-
ed for Immediately launching a
development campaign.
The purchase reported to have
been made by Mr.. Hill are the
Senator I. S. Hogan leases, em=
bracing $50 acres in sections FL
and 22-35-2w, and a half interest
in 120 acres in section 28-25-2, in
which he will be associated with
L. B. and John O'Neill. Mr.. Hill
declined to confirm or deny the
report that he had purchased the
tracts. He was frequently in
conference while here with Sena-
tor Hogan, recent arrival from
Colorado, and w. E. Burks, who
but a short time ago sold the 560-
acre tract to Senator Hogan. No
intimation was given as to the
price paid for the half interest in
the O'Neill acreage, but it was
stated that the total considera-
tion in the Hogan deal was ap-
proximately $4,000.
Interest of Great Northern Off
cials in the Kevin field has been
apparent during the past month
or two. Several weeks ago Vice
President w. P. Kenney spent
some time in the field and later
other Great Northern officials,
accompanied by different of the
leading bankers of New York
and Chicago, spent several days
here. This was followed by Mr..
Hills arrival. the simultaneous ar
rival of Senator Hogan, Mr.. w.
Burks and Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Hill is
accompanied by the Great North
ern's chief geologist, Mr.. Hills
chief counsel and two sons of
Mr.. Hill.
The Hogan tract was owned by
Senator Hogan for a time shortly
after the Campbell discovery
was brought in. but later passed
into the hands of Mr.. Burks,
drilling contractor, as result of |
unpaid balances on drilling con-
tracts. Senator Hogan rehabili-
tated his fortunes in Colorado
and New Mexico and few
months ago repurchased the land
from Mr.. Burks.
Shelby, July Is. Final confr-
nation was received here We'd
nesday of Tuesdays report that |
Louis w. Hill, chairman of the
Great Northern railway, has en-
tered the Kevin field as an active
operator. Mr.. Hill has taken over
$50 acres from w. E. Burkes and
Senator T. S. Hogan and purch-
ased half interest in 120 acres
previously owned by John and L.
B. Tip" O'Neill.

Mr.. Hill acquired an interest is

HE WHO READS NEWSPAPERS WITH
CARE CAN DIG OUT REAL TRUTH

Sibley, "aside from two or three
groups of sensational papers, one
can not tell q paper printed in San
Francisco from another printed in
Philadelphia If their heads are cut
off,"
This is largely, but not entirely,
true. The press service and the syn
dicate have to a large extent stand
ardized newspapers, SO that substan-
tally the same national and world
news is found in any one of hum
bred publications Of the same day.
But there are great newspapers which
have striven to gain back something
Of individuality by engaging their
own corps Of special correspondents.
But generally, to meet the cost Of
Isutlt 8 corps. the product Of these
specf4l writer's is sold to a group of
|paperss -
Thus the Chicago Daily News and
tire New York World employ special
writer's who are stationed at foreign
points. Thus these papers achieve
something Of an individuality. This,
hOwewer, they share to some extent.
All, q part, of this special service is
sold TO whoever who will buy, and the
Washington Star, for example, uses
much Of their product. This makes
for somewhat standardized groups,
but il does give the reader a chance
to escape partly from the larger
blanket of national standardization.
Great numbers of persons regularly
read newspapers published in several
cities by different interests and with
different points Of view, so as to es-
cape the smothering process of
Standardization.
Mr.. Sibley points back to the days
Of Dana, Greeley and Watterson.
Watterson was with as in the later
days. But we 60 back to the days
Of real individuality, or individualism
in newspaper making, is there so
much to be, mourned because Of its
passing? The great early editors
had no world covering foreign cable
service. Nor did they have anything
like the modern Associated Press and
United Press. They produced news

Newspapers are the chief reliance
of millions Of people, so far as infor-
nation about important happenings
is concerned. / find in the Chicago
journal of Commerce, under the sig
nature of w. G. Sibley, discussion
of modern newspapers in which there
is this striking and important trio
of sentences;
"Not only men Of great wealth can
own great newspapers. They buy
them as vehicles for power and profit.
Editors are for the most part anony-
NOUS, and academic freedom Is en-
ioyed only by column writer's whose
service is rather, that Of entertain
ment than the promotion Of the things
to which great editoraso of former time.
devoted themselves"
The Chicago Journal of Commercs
is carefully edited. It does not pub
lish news or special articles on any
hit-or-miss plan. Things do not hap-
pen to get into that newspaper.
Bearing that in mind, let us ex-
anime again the quotation just cited:
"Only men Of great wealth can own
great newspapers. They buy them
as vehicles for power and profit. Ed
itors are for. the most part anony-
nous, and academic freedom is en-
joyed only by column writer's"
will not join those who, either be-
cause of their pessimism or because
of their flaming rebellion against
things as they are, condemn the mod
ern newspaper as an institution and
call it bad from start to finish.
There are newspapers in the pages
Of which there is much of real ideal
ism and public service. There are
newspapers that still present exam
pies Of fearless journalism. A few
do it quite regularly. A considerable
number do it systematically. But the
situation is worth seeing as it is.

but interesting facts. The linotype

The demand for farm workers is now

Normal is the average condition in

as a basis of comparison.
In the last year the demand for

dicates that there is no surplus Of

I83.4 per cent Of normal while this
year it is 89.5 per cent Of normal.
It may be noted that the supply Of
farm labor is nearer normal when the
demand for workers in industrial
plants is less active. In 1921 and 1922
the supply approached normal but
there was decided drop in 1923 when
the industrial machine speeded up.

cast that the present industrial gains

papers upon which there was the

II newspapers win publish news
accurately it need not matter if every
newspaper in the land is poured out
Of one mold. The vital thing is the
rapid and accurate transmission and
publication Of facts, with an open OUT
let always for all Of the important
truth and news of the day.
There are, in modern Journalism.
daily examples of suppression and
distortion. Some of this is accident
al, due to carelessness or ignorance.
Some is purposeful. In most news
paper Offices there is at least one
sacred COW" and in many of them
there is a whole drove.
Many newspapers viii not print
stories about elevator accidents in de-
partment stores. Some newspapers
win not print or win not adequately
display news that shows any real
achievement on the part of the
League of Nations.
The lack of academic freedom. Of
which Mr.. Sibley speaks, and about
which he is thoroughly correct, is
matter of concern, but to be candid
about the matter, all Of the editorial
writer's in the country could be sent
on prolonged vacation, if only the
news columns could mirror the actual
facts of the day. Some editorial writ
ers are scholarly; they are equipped
to analyze and to teach. On the
other hand, shoals Of them are en-
ployed merely because they can put
together enough words to fill the re-
quired space, because they can pro-
duce an approximation Of erudition
that viii be harmless, or because they
viii serve some specific interest or
purpose. But, balancing between aca-
demic freedom, which in this case
means freedom for editorial writer's,
and through and accurate publica-
ton of news, the balance swings so
heavily in favor of printing news or
information as to leave the purvey-
ors of pure opinion almost no place
to hang their hats.
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-05-01

The modern newspaper world is full
of sinners against the right of the
people to know what is going on, but
no blanket indictment can be made
to stick. BY and large, we get more
news, more fairly told, and with in
finitely more speed, than was pro-
durable Is years ago. II. along with
this we must take the miscaIled COM
les, the fiub-dub Of the "magazilei..i
page, and the frequently foolish eiE'
torials, we can at least shut our eyez
to them. 81
The mdiscriminating reader may
be imposed upon frequently, obut he
who reads with care and with some
knowledge of probabilities can dig
out 3 working approximation Of the.
truth. Of course, where there is
complete suppression, thai isSanother
story. sSessag a Lszze -
+ There is shameful amount of sup
preston Of vital Information. Some
of this would be called news ii news
paper Offices and some would not be-
so described. But examination will
show in many cases that suppression
is due to combination Of causes.
There may be other agencies besides
the newspapers involved, as in the
famous Teapot Dome case.
The standardization Of the daily
newspaper becomes more apparent
each day. Nor is that all. = The rise
of the tabloid, or anthropoid type, Of
newspaper is becoming more and more
a matter Of wonderment, no one
knows what will be the consequences
of this development in half-witted
journalism.
l am making no attempt to draw
sweeping conclusions in this discus
sion Of modern journalism, / do not
think they can be drawn with fair
ness or accuracy. think there are
examples Of everything under the sun
in modern American journalism.
Policy is the gospel Of most edi-
torial rooms and every employee either
finds out what is policy" or he goes
away from there. Those who are em-
ployed on newspapers know policy"
instinctively. Nobody tells them. S
But all of these generalizations lead
back to the fact that the modern
metropolitan newspaper is in reality
a big business enterprise, conducted
for profit and owned privately. The
private owner may fix whatsoever
policy suits him and he may change
that policy for whatsoever reason may
suit him. The readers have one re-
course: They may stop reading that
paper. But they must read some
other, similarly owned and operated
and subject to the same conditions.
The future alone will tell us what
is in store. For the present the read
er must be discriminating. He must
read with intelligence. II he under
stands the policy Of a newspaper he
win know what to discount, in most
cases. He viii know, Moreover, what
news is likely to be- reported accu-
rately and what is likely to be dis
torted, either through reportOrial ig-
norance or carelessness, or for fea-
sons of policy. And he will come to
feel that there is still more honor in
newspapers than the harsher critics
are willing to admit.
Meantime the trade union publica-
tions have their opportunity to spe-

which there is much suppression and
