LAY PIPE SYSTEM BY SEPT.
10; PLAN 2 MORE WELLS
Sugar Factory Will Operate With
New Fuel; Expect Kelvin Crews
to Start Drilling Soon

Chinook, Aug. 12.-Chinook is to be
supplied with natural gas this fall
from the South Bowes structure, ac-
cording to announcements made by
the Hard Rock Oil company, Great
Falls, which has taken over interests
Of the Hammond company in this
natural gas structure. The million
dollar sugar factory here will be the
first to be connected with the gas
pipe line and this work is to be
completed by September 10 that
new gas fixtures can be installed in
plenty of time for the opening of the
factory this fall.
Dismantling of automatic stokers
which were used for burning of coal
has already started up in the sugar
factory. Officials of this concern
say that gas will be a matter of con-
venience as well as being a saving
on labor.
The gas field is about nine miles
south of Chinook and the pipe line
will be laid by ditching machine at
a depth of about two feet. The pipe
for this purpose is now being loaded
on cars at Winnett for shipment.
There will be two additional gas
wells drilled on the structure mile
and half from the two present
wells. which may add to the gas

only final approval of ths geology by
Mr.. Arnold.
Mr.. Arnold expected to begin his
field work today and he probably will
spend a week or more in ami near
Great Falls before going on to San
Francisco. A number of geologists
from over the state were in Great
Falls Thursday morning for confer
ence with Mr.. Arnold along profess
ional lines and operators from diff
feIent fields who are interested in
his activities ha.e were also in t.,o
city. One drilling ccrtract was tent.
atively closed Thursday morning.
Mr.. Arnold has advanced the g.
nancial details Of our contemplated
operations in Great Falls to a point
that will permit us to move more
rapidly as soon as he completes
his field work." Mr.. Mau stated. "On
any structure which Mr.. Arnold ap-
proves we intend to have develop
ment work under way in a very short
time and it is the expectation that
several wells will be completed be-
fore winter.
Land Owners Cooperate
1--WE have had the finest kind Of
cooperation from land owners and
others with interests in fields which
Mr.. Arnold is examining. This has
made it possible to wind up the pre-
liminary work with dispatch and to
be so situated that development can
go ahead without delay when we are
ready to start"
Mr.. Arnold stated that several
years of geological work which he
conducted in Alberta has proved to
be of much assistance in reaching
relative to Montana
fields; and results realized north of
the international boundary also aided
him in laying Montana propositions
before eastern operators. The Turner
Valley feld, near Calgary, 4 where
the Royalite and Mcleod naphtha
wells have been among the greatest
il sensations in recent years, was

Arnold.

REFINERY AT BUTTE ASKS RATE
CUT ON MONTANA CRUDE OIL

Helena, Aug. 5.-Rates ON crude
petroleum from the Montana oil fields
to Butte are unjust, unreasonable
and discriminatory as compared with
rates to other refinery cities in the
state, the Silver Bow Refining COM
pany contends in petitioning the state
railroad commission for an order di-
recting the Milwaukee railway to
change its tariffs. On the basis of
the relationship between the crude
and refined oil rates between the oil
fields and the several refinery cities,
the company claims a rate of q
cents from Winnett On the basis
of a comparison of distances, apply
ing the fifth class rate, it contends
for a 2015 cent rate. The rate now
is 27 cents.

PROSECUTOR SURE
 HE HAS EVIDENCE
Expects to Convict Several in
 Canton Murder

Canton, O.. Aug. 25 Pl-Howell Leuck, assistant United States dis trict attorney, has returned to Can- ton expecting to issue two federal warrants for arrests today in the in- vestigation into bootleg liquor con- spiracy linked with the plot to mur- der Don R. E. Mellett, Canton pub fisher, who was assassinated July 16, presumably by the underworld or it's hirelings.
 Leuck said today that service of the warrants may occur at any time and that within five minutes time he can get as many more warrants as he needs by appearing before United States Commissioner Julius Whiting. He admitted, however, that events of the day may interfere with the plans and cause a delay in the arrests.
 Joseph R. Roack. Chicago crim- inal lawyer, Investigating the liquor conspiracy and the murder plot, said:
 More than a week ago I said I had evidence which would convict several men of the first degree mur- der of Don R. Mellett. That evil dence has been constantly strength ened in the last few days"
 Hoachs evidence is being pre- pared for the consideration of Stark county grand jury which recon venes Wednesday,.
 Roach is to make further attempts today to break down the alibi of Louis Mazer, charged with Mellett's murder and held on liquor con spiracy charge also.
 The lawyer is striking at the ali bi through the story of Floyd Streit- enberger, city detective, which at first supported Mazer's alibi, but since, according to Roach. has be- come "wohbly." Mazer and Streit- enberg declare they were together at the latter's home at the timeof the murder.

WOMAN THREATENS ID PLOW COURSE
Court Injunction Saves West.
 brook Greens

Hartford, Aug. 23 LRl-The tenn porary injunction to restrain Edna Post Hirons, Of Westbrook, from blowing up a field now used by the Quotonset Golf club of that town as part of it's course, or from other wise interrupting the use of the field by the club, was extended to September 20 by Judge. Edwin c Dickenson of the superior court this morning. This extension was the re- suit of an agreement between coun- sel of the two parties who came to the county court house this morn ing as a result of petition by Mrs. Hirons ii have the injunction which had been granted on July T dis solved.
 The injunction was secured when Mrs. Hirons purchased large strip of land, which the golf club had used for years under a lease from the original owner, and it is alleged, threatened to prevent the members of the club from using the land. It is said that first she ordered them off the land, and finally, according to the story. she said she would blow up the greens and fairways.

 SUCCESSFUL TEST TRIP
Giant Machine, Loaded With fs, ,O00 Pounds, Circles Over New York
 at 5500 Feet.

Roosevelt Field, N. Y, Aug. B GP A successful 32 minute test flight was made this morning by Captain Rene Fonck, French war ace, and Igor Sikorsky in the S-S5, giant bi plane which will be used in the pro posed New York-to-Paris flight next month.
 The S-35, burdened with 12,0O0 pounds or half the weight it will carry on the flight, rose from Roose- yelt Field at 9:29 o'clock and circIed about the country. Sikorsky con trolled the plane on it's ascent and descent. making the landing without difficulty. While in the air, Cant. fonck and It. A. P. Snody, L. S. N, handled the controls. Three flight mechanicians weer aboard. With the engines throttled, the plane wade q speed of 90 miles an hour and rose to a height of $500 feet.
 "The S-S5." Sikorslly said. "was managed with ease equal to that Of a fighting plane. We felt no yibra- tion whatsoever"
 We are more confident than ever," Fonck said.

CHICAGO WAR CONTINUES
One Man Shot to Death in Auto and Companion Badly Wounded By Gangsters Today.

Chicago. Aug. 2S Pt-Gangsters' guns blazed again today, killing one and possibly fatally wounding an- other.
 Two men walked deliberately up 10 the automobile of Michael Blando, 30, restaurant owner. and fired a fusillade that killed him. His wife, in the front seat with him. was un- hurt. but Joseph Varonlona, 19, in the rear seat, was shot in the left lung. He may die.
 The trio had attended a Sicilian celebration and had just gotten into the automobile when the attack oc- cured. The gunmen escaped.
 Whether a Sicilian feud, the al- cohol war, or revenge for other kill ings ay behind the shooting, police were unable to determine.
 Belief that Blonde was slain in re- venge for a killing at Moundville. Kansas, three years ago was express cd by Mrs. Blando.
 In 1922, she said, Biando and his four brothers. lived in Arma, Kansas, near Moundyille. The brothers had quarrel with a stranger who was killed. Two of the brothers were captured and sent 10 prison, Blando's widow said, but he and his other brothers escaped.
