Liquor Cure For Deaf
Worked Alright
In Court

Alcohol as a cure for deaf
ness seems to work for William
Harris. When arraigned before
Judge Mattingly in Police Court
today, Harris said he couldn't
hear-but he had q personal
note all written for the court
acknowledging that he was
drunk last night.
Policeman E. A. Fuller said
the man heard well enough
when arrested. But Harris
wrote today: II am very sorry
for what / have done. work
every day to try and do what
is right but my deafness makes
me at times so i'll I hardly
know what to do. / have so
much roaring in my head It
nearly sets me crazy"
Harris had not been arrested
since the last Halloween cele-
bration, so Judge Mattingly let
him 20 on his personal bond.

Jim Davidson, pioneer of the Kevin
country, was here Saturday. Speak
ing of the Madison7Strange well on
the west side, he said all who have
seen it and were impartial in their
judgment felt that it would prove
one of the best in the field. "Of

on the west side and it was notice
able that the daily papers and an
oil paper at Great Falls made little
mention of it. If it had been an east

Oil Directory for Mountain
States Issued by Casper Paper
Fills Decided Industry Need

Inland Oh Index of Casper has
just issued its first Mountain States
Oil Index which contains a large
amount of valuable information in
Guiding lists of various branches of
the industry in Montana, Wyoming,
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona,
Utah, Nevada, the Dakotas, Western
Nebraska and Kansas and the Texas
Panhandle.
The work includes a compilation
of oil and gas producing companies,
a list of pipe lines, refineries, ma
tura1 gasoline plants, carbon black

houses, BROKERAGE firms, and statis-
tics on oil and gas fields by states.
In the list of companies is given
the address of the head office, cap
utilization, list of officers, location
of principal properties and other
regarding each.
The publication is very welcome to
the oil industry especially of Mon
tana where no oil directory has been

STILL BURSTS. DAMAGE
$4,000 FROM OIL FIRE

Kalispen, Aug. 2S.-An explosion
in still No, 1 of the North American
Oil Refining trust, at its plant west
of the city at midnight Friday
caused spectacular fire and poss-
ible property damage of between $3,-
600 and $4,000 Water in the oil
shipped to the refinery from the
wells is blamed by Manager N. b.
Torrey for the explosion.
The presence of water was not
suspected and the oil was placed in
stills which are not built to with
stand the high pressure of steam.
Shortly before the explosion one Of
the workmen noticed there was only
a half pound of steam pressure but
that a few minutes later the guage
jumped to 20 pounds. Knowing what
would happen, he ran to safety just
as the still exploded. It's 40 or so
barrel contents burst into flames
that shot 200 feet in the air and
burning oil spread in every direction
The head of still was blown out, But
the exact amount of damage has
not yet been determined.
If the still has to be replaced it will
mean property loss of between
$4,000 and $4,000 Mr. Torrey says.
The amount was not covered by in
sur&nce. Still 2 and were not dam
aged and are running. Mr.. Torrey |
praises the work Of the Kalispell |
fire department which was obliged |
to lay line of hose for half a
mile in order to reach the fire. The

HOME, DAD AND THE BOY
Fiffy-SeUen Varieties
By FRANK H. CHELEY

MYTH more than forty million
w Dads in America, the Amer
lean Boys best interests ought TO
be pretty well looked after
But in that connection here is a
sObering query:
what sort of a crop of boys
would there be If every Dad was a
man like me?"
OF Dads there are ifty-seven va
rieties; good, bad and Indifferent
just as there are boys.
OF course, if there were no Dads,
there would be no boys, SO after
all, "a father is an admirable per
son to be parent"
Every boy in the land is a maga-
zine of energy which should be ex-
ploded upon some worthwhile JOB,
and it is Dads privilege to act as
the engineer.
Boys are like corks. some Will
pop of their own accord, but most
of them will need to be drawn out.
That's Dads job.
The real Dad gets hold Of his
boy by as many handles as pos
sible. and begins the long job OF
him to get along without
him.
