PIONEER WOMAN HoNoRED

The Turner ranch near Sunburst,
one of the oldest ranches on the
Marias river, having been established
in 1880, was the scene of real sur
prise the other night when a large
number Of friends went there to con-
gratulate Mrs. J. C. Turper on her
birth anniversary. Mrs Turner not
suspecting anything, saw number
of lights on the main road and re-
marked that "the bootleggers must be
going to a convention" Presently,
the guests came up the trail to the
famous old ranch house, and the
place was soon aglow with light and
laughter. Music was the chief diver
sion. Much interest was aroused in
"reminiscences recounted by Mr..
Turner.

Royal Canadian A
100 Barrel Well

The Royal Canadian Oil company,
one of the few companies engaged in
development on the west side of the
Kevin-Sunburst field, has just com
pleted commercial well on the Nc
Gowan permit, according to c. R.
Macy state oil and gas inspector,
who stopped in Great Falls satur-
day while on his way to his head
quarters in Helena.
The well is located in NV NV 27-
85-8w, about two miles north and
slightly west of the town Of Keyin.
1t was pudded in October 4. but COM
pletion was delayed by shut down.
A showing of oil was found in stray
sand, but the commercial prouction
comes from the Ellis.
Drilling on three important tests
in the north part of Toole county con-
tinues. Mr.. Macy said, the s. Hart
Green well east of Sweetgrass being
down 1900 feet, the 10y we'll 500 feet
and the Kal-Mont test 300 feet. The
two latter wells are near the Sweet
grass hills.
Tools which were lost following a
gas strike in the Devonian, at the
Pondera-Larson No. location, have
been recovered and drilling is again
in progress. This well is now down
more than 1900 feet and is the only
active deep test in the field
The Watson well, ne 30

from the Sunburst sand. is shut down
at 2,51O feet. Mr. Macy said. be-

Deep Sand Drilling
Takes the Nerve

One of the finest examples of the
possibilities in the history of the oil
industry in the Spindletop field in
Texas which is now wreclzing the
crude oil market by its flood of new
production.
Spindletop was one of the great
sensations of the industry more than
a quarter of century ago. Then it
dropped back into wall flower status
and so remained for 20 years. A
little more than six months ago some
interpid operator drilled well deep
er than the orthadox custom in
Spindletop, continuing several hund-
red feet deeper than the original sand
from which enough oil was gotten.
to give birth to two of the largest re-
fineries in the world and to the cities
of Beaumont and Port Arthur. This
intrepid operator, the Yount-Lee COM
pdHy, ul1lASQ uOL On6 Jul ILL &C WC41o-
They came in at around 5000 barrels
each and the Great Spindletop boom
was on
Biologists say Spindletop has un-
limited possibilities. That the field
can be extended indefinitely in all
directions, particularly on the west,
is believed fact. In that event the
glory that was Spindletop's back in
the days when Governor Jim Hegg
and his associates started The Texas
company will be only stepping
stone to the great things of the fu-
ture.
Cat Creek field as well as Kevin-
Sunburst here in Montana, are wait
ing for deep sand production. Why
deer sand pro luct:cn should not be
developed ,aow rather than 25 Years
from now is something that ire
"layman" canrot mnders and. Cff-
tainly it is that there was none hold
ing back the development of Spindle
top. It's just question cf someone
having the nerve to make a complete
test.

HOME, DAD AND THE BOY
The Buffer Dad
BY FRANK H. CHELEY
THE world is full of them.
l. He bluffs his boy,

HE world is full or them.
i He bluffs his boy,
He bluffs society,
He bluffs his God,
He even fools himself into be-
Iieving he is "as good as the
average"
He doesn't know anything about
the boy-business-and is afraid
somebody, among them his own
son, will find it out.
"When 1t comes to being a real
Dad, he either skids or skidoos."
He doesn't seem to realize that
you can't bluff a boy for long, and
that in the eyes of a real boy
hypocrite is abominable. A boy will
forgive his Dad for almost any
other shortcoming.
He is constantly one thing and
expects his boy to be quite another
and then laments the boys fall
ure from the house tops.
He does one way and directs the
son along a different path.
He doesn't know that the life
one leads is the lesson one teaches.
What Buffer Dad is, proclaims
itself so loudly that the son never
hears anything he has to say.
He is a poor, deluded mortal and
needs to see himself as others see
him.

More Tourists
Than Ever TO
Visit Montana

Missoula, March g. More peo-
pie will come to Montana to share
in its unusual recreation oppor-
tunities than ever before in the
states history, w. H. Merriman,
Northern Pacific district repres
entative, said on a visit to diyis-
ion headquarters here.
So many inquiries have been
received from all sections of the
country in answer to the recrea-
ton booklet issued some time ago
by the railway, that Northern
Pacific officials are expecting a
so per cent incresse from vaca-
tion seekers.
"They want to come where
they can fish. hunt, find open
water, shade, and get away from
every day life," said Mr.. Merri
man, and it appears that the
number will be unusually great" "
Montana has an edge on other
states in the northwest in regard
to recreational opportunities and
the world is beginning to realize.
Jn its booklet on national forest
vacations in the American Rock
les, the Northern Pacific paid
special attention to the Bitter
Root country and the Flathead-
Swan Lake region, the latter Of
which is being developed to a
greater extent each year as fac
iIities for handling visitors are
being enlarged.
Farming and numbering activi-
ties promise a better freight
traffic, Mr.. Merriman says, for
the coming year.

New Refinery Will be
Built At Shelby Soon

Shelby, March 8. -Construc-
Iion will be begun Tuesday on
the new Johnson syndicate refin-
cry, owned by James A. Johnson,
his son, j. w. Johnson, and their
associates. The plant will have
daily capacity of from 1000 to
l 800 barrels and it is the expec-
tations of the owners that opera
tions can be begun in 45 days.
Material and equipment not now
on the ground has been purchas-
ed and is in transit. The refinery
is expected to be a factor in re-
lieving the marketing situation
in the Kevin field.
The Johnsons are largely in
terested in the Johnson-Corey
wells in 4-342 w, the first of
which gave the Kevin field a
great forward impetus late in
1924. Production handled at the
refinery will come from these
wells and from others at which
the oil will be purchased.
