Watch Your Grammar

Did you know that Boyd, Montana is
one of the largest towns in the state
without school house? Well, it is.
Heretofore one could drop into Ander-
sons or Normile's store down there
and say, 81 have came in for two sack
of flour" or if the occasion demanded
he could remark, ave don't need no
more rain now" and get by with it,
but not now.
But wait! Do you know that Boyd
is one of the best trading points in
Carbon county? No better citizens
live anywhere than are to be found
around Boyd. It's merchants and other
business men are progressive and
aside from two up-to-date stores there
is church and a bank and black
smith shop and two elevators there

and in making a general survey of the

Monday morning was spent in talking
to the mine owners and Mr.. Dunlap
interviewed number of the business
men of the city to ascertain their

Ohio co. STRIKES
BIG GAS FLOW AT
MCKAY RANCH WELL
(By AN OLD TIMER)

The Ohio Oil company, drilling on
the Mckay ranch, northwest of Ros-
coe, struck gas to the amount of two
million cubic feet per day, Sunday,
July 10. The presence of the gas is
regarded as sufficient proof that the
structure is closed, and with the
largest known oil seep in Montana oc-
curing only few miles to the south
east, on Butcher creek, it is probable
that oil will be encountered upon
drilling slightly deeper.
If Carbon county is to be credited
with another oil field, it will be a
matter of considerable Importance in
several different ways; in advertising,
in bringing in new blood, in "pep-
ping" up our own people besides the
direct dollars and cents which will be
turned loose in the trade channels.
According to an authority, there is
an anticline condition extending across
Carbon county from the Montana
Wyoming line to the Saltwater river
with possible oil sands including the
Eagle, Frontier, Dakota and one or
two others as the Ellis and Amden
The Mckay well is in one of these
sands, probably the Dakota, at depth
of 1926 feet. Other domes on this an
ticline are the Elk Basin, Dry Creek
Fox, East and West of Roscoe, Inger-
soil creek and Nye.

DUNLAP INSPECTS MINING PROJECTS
MCOOKE CITY FOR PROPOSED ROAD

Prospects for the Red Lodge-Cooke City road
to be built under the supervision of the Forest de-
partment for the purpose of diverting the trans
portation of the Cooke City ore from the Park
to Red Lodge, are again favorable according to O.
H. P Shelley, editor of the Carbon County News,
who has just returned from three-day trip to
Cooke City and the Park with R. w. Dunlap, assis-
tant secretary of agriculture. Mr.. Dunlap was
very favorably impressed with mining conditions
around Cooke City and realized the need of the
proposed road.

''THE MORE YOU TELL THE MORE YOU
SELL"

We don't know who said that, but so far as
the business man is concerned we dare any
one to deny the truth of it.
Whether ones product to be marketed be
merchandise, a service, or good reputa-
ton, its merits must be oft repeated or the
world will soon forget and turn its attention
to the man or firm whose name IS kept be-
fore them.
1t is inevitable that orders and profits pur-
sue the house which uses advertising per-
sistently. If your product is worthy it is
worth the cost Of advertising to tell the
trade about it.
Carbon County News advertising can rem
der unusual service to you. A telephone call
will bring representative to your desk with
real interest in your problems.

La Paloma,

Did you hear the band play 'La
Paloma" last Saturday evening 1t
was we'll rendered but how strangely
out of place it sounds outside the con-
fines of Mamma land. Somehow, it
seems, that it needs the soft mellow
air of the far southland beyond the
Rio Grande where the moon silvers the
palms and life itself is but long
joyous siesta to give it it's proper
setting There it is the serenade SUI
preme.
It's pensive, pleading, passionate
notes are suggestive of the fiesta and
the plaza and the circular promenade
where the bewitching, dark eyed SEN
ioritas practice their delightful art of
casting sly glances at their sweet
hearts while under the watchful eye
of their matilda bedecked madres.
Say, did you ever meet up with real
honest to goodness Mexican girl? She
certainly has a way with her, that
maid of Mexico. They are not prettier
that the Red Lodge girls nor brighter
than the girls of Joliet. They cannot
excel the Bearcreek girls in mag
netism, nor the Bridger girls in charm
They are not kindlier than the girls of
Roberts nor more dainty than the girls
of Fromberg. They are not more fas-
cinating that the girls of Belfry nor
more wonderful than the girls of Boyd
or Roscoe or Luther or Edgar. And
yet, they possess something that nc
other girl on earth possesses, those
laughing, chatting, compelling maids
of Mexico.
1t is just witchery, | guess-the
wichery not of the cauldron but of the
climate-that subtitle something that
makes them different from all other
maidens in the world.

the past three days improving the
road up the West Fork The opera
