MUCH ACTIVITY
IN ALBERTA OIL 8
FIELDS AHEAD
GORDON CAMPBELL HOME FROM
NORTH, SAYS INTEREST is
GREAT IN TESTS

Alberta oil structures will be the
scenes of much development during
the present season regardless of the
outcome of the test wells now being
drilled in the Turner Valley field, in
the opinion of Gordon Campbell, pio-
neer Montana geologist and discover
er of the Kevin-Sunburst field.
Mr. Campbell returned to Great
Falls Friday after spending several
weeks in the fields in the vicinity of
Calgary. He stated that the wells
in the Turner Valley field which are
down considerable depth are being
watched with intrest, but predicted
that tests ON other structures would
be made before winter comes even if
the Turner valley wells fail to live
up to present expectations.

SUNBURSRT REFINERY
FREE OF OBLIGATION
ON 1921 TAX LAW
SUPREME COURT HOLDS COM.
PANY NEED NOT PAY LEVY
UNDER UNcoNsTITuTIoN-
AL LAW OF u. S.

Helena, June 22.-Because it failed
to tax gasoline and distillate import
ed into Montana and sold in original
packages, the same as Montana gas
oline and distillate was taxed, the 1921
gasoline tax law was unconstitutional
the state supreme court said Tues
day morning.
Early this year it was declared the
1923 law, which had raised the tax
from one to two cents a gallon, un-
constitutional for the same reason.
The 1925 law, enacted to meet defects
of the 1923 statute, did not go into
effect until April 1, 1926, and the
state sued the Sunburst Oil & Rein
ing company to recover taxes with
held for the six quarters immed-
lately prior to April !. this year.
The amount including penalties as
sessed, was about $48,0OO. The SUI
preme court holds that the company
is not required to pay this tax.
The state had contendd that the
company was bound on the ground
that it had collected the amount by
adding the tax to the price of its
gasoline and thus became trustee for
the state. TIL court disagrees, ex-
planning that the persons who paid
the added amount may be the injured
parties, but the state cannot take ad
vantage of the fact that the collec-
tions have been made.
TIL decision involves all the Mon
tana oil distributors with the exceD-
tion of the Continental and a few
smaller concerns.

SPECIAL SESSION OF
CITY COUNCIL HELD
LAST MONDAY NIGHT

At a special meeting of the city
councilf hsdd last Monday evening a
number of new ordinances were pass
ed and made law to further advance
the town along well established Gus
toms and to further safe guard the
lives and property of its citizens
One of the ordinances pertains to
the speed allowed auto drivers within
the city limits. The council passed
a law regulating the drivers of all
motor driven vehicles to 10 miles per
hour within the limits of Kelvin.
Another has to- do with fireworks
No fireworks of any description will
be allowed to be discharged within
the city limits of Kelvin at any time
The matter of parking cars on the
streets was also taken up. No cars
may be parked within 20 feet of the
Kevin hotel on main street or within
20 feet south of Gordon's store on
main street according to the new or
dinance.
All three ordinances are of most
vital Importance to every citizen, and
the passing of same is a good move
in the right direction and seems to
have the endorsement of all our citi-
zens, as it deserves.
The Getty dads" are ever on the
alert to safeguard the lives and
property of its constituents and be-
lieve that all feel that Kevin is most
fortunate in having council who are
alive to all emergencies as they arise
and meet them accordingly, with dis
erection and promptness.

STURDEVANT HITS PRODUCTION
IN STRAY SAND 8 MILES
FROM BIG PRODUCTION

A strike in a stray sand found N
the -PetersonNo. 1, NV NV
( 11-34-1 W, Friday afternoon gave
strong indication of completion that
would materially extend the Kelvin
lSunburst oil field to the southeast.
A four-hour bailer test brought 4S
barrels of oil to the surface without
materially reducing the stand in the
casing and preparations were begun
to drill to the Ellis. The oil was
found at 1883 feet.
The we'll is three miles to the
south and east of the Ferdig and Full
ton Rice big production wells and
acreage in the area has been sought
by number of oprators during the
last week. The Sturdevant company
owns 100 acres Some half a dozen
deals in transfers have been made in
the field in that district since the new
we'll was brought in.
The Sturdevant company is repre-
sented in the field by F. W. Thorne
and is financed principally by west
ern capital. Many of the drilling
agreements made on land in the area
this week were consumated in the
names of trustees, preventing the
identify of the interested operators
from becoming known. 1t is under
stood, though, that O'Neil Brothers
and J. w. Elliott were among those
who acquired interests in the vicinity
of the we'll. 1t was also reported
that the Marland company is one OF
the companies which has recently be-
come interested in this part of the
field.

TO DRILL NEW
PHILLIPS TEST
WELL WILL BE PUT DOWN NEAR
OLD CABBAGE LOCATION BY
NORTH DAKOTA CAPITAL

Malta, June 24.-Leases covering
1900 acres ON the north side of Milk
river in the vicinity of what is known
as the Cabbage test area well have
been obtained and the Big Dome Oil
& Gas company will put down well
On this structure for the Phillips
Oil & Gas company, it was learned
Thursday when the contract for the
we'll was placed on record.
The contract provides that drilling
must start within 80 days and that
the hole must be sunk 5000 feet, or
until oil or gas in commercial quaint
ities are encountered. The exact loca
ton of the we'll has not yet been
determined The Cabbage test We'll,
about six miles northwest of Saco,
was put down four years ago with a
small drill and good showings of oil
were found.

several weeks. The matter was first

said that the matter rests entirely in

what the next move would be. He
indicated, however, that an appeal
might be taken to the supreme court

C. N. R'Y ANNOUNCES
LOWER RATES ON
FUEL OIL TO EAST
TARIFF OF 37La CENTS TO TWIN
CITIES WILL OPEN NEW MARK
EFT TO THREE REFINERIES
IN KEVIN-SUNBURST FIELD

Establishment of a rate of 371a
cents per 100 pounds on fuel oil
transportation from the Kevin-Sun-
burst field to Minneapolis and. st.
Paul was announced here Saturday
night by G. F. O1Hara, general agent
for the Great Northern railway.
Mr.. O'Hara stated that the new rate
would go into effect on July 19 and
would affect residual oil shipment
only. The rate to Duluth and SUI
perior will be reduced to 397a cents.
The new rates, in the opinion of
Northern Montana oil operators, will
tend to open up large market for
fuel oil In the past the Great North
ern railway has been virtually the
only large consumers of fuel oil pro-
duced as a result of refining the Ke-
vim -Sunburst crude and refiners who
produced more than the amount re-
quired by the railway suffered be.

tied shipments to the Twin Cities
territory.
The Great Northern's action fol-
lows the granting of a similar rate
by the Canadian Pacific and 500
lines between Coutts, Alta, and Min
nesota points.
The Canadian lines serve the Maple
Leaf refinery at Coutts, while the Big

cry at Shelby are on the Great Nor

TELECRAPHS FROM
new YORK STATE
FOR KEVIN REVIEW

The mere fact that we have added
another new subscriber to our rapid
ly growing. subscription list, is per-
haps not of any particular Importance,
but when person will take the time
and expense of subscribing from the
city of New York by telegraph it is
significant of the fact that the Ke-
vim Review is of particular interest to
eastern people of means and one that
is widely read in every section of the
nation. At present we are mailing
papers to every state in the union,
and to foreign countries as well. We
have reason to believe that no paper
in the same size town as Kevin has
larger and more intelligent class of
subscribers than the Review, and we
feel justified in the statement that
its standing and extensive list of sub
scribers is of inestimable value to it's
as well as the citizens of
Kevin and community. Following is

ceived last week via the Western I'm
