BIOLOGISTS
REPORT GOOD
.GERLOUGH FINDS ALL THE
ESSENTIAL SIGNS OF
OIL AND GAS

John P. Gerlough, the geologist
engaged by the Commercial club
to survey the local oil field, made
written report that is thorough,
complete and specific. The struc-
ture is described as well defined
and completely enclosed, which
gives assurance that if oil ever
formed here, it was confined with
in the anticline and has not es-
capped. All the formations found
in the other oil fields of Montana.
including the oil bearing strata
below the Kootenai are found here.
The principal adverse condition
brought out by the survey is the
depth at which it is estimated oil
could possibly be found, which is
1000 feet or more, but at the
same time it is a fact that where
oil is found at such depths, there
is usually a greater body of it and
it is Of high quality.
Gas Prospects
The geological signs give strong
ar assurance of gas than of oil
and if gas is found, it would be
at much less depth, probably
about 1900 feet. Gas has been
found in many places in the Mon
sana oil fields, at Shelby, Havre
and just recently at Bowdoin, and
It has proven of great value as
heating and cooking fuel.
No Deal With Promoter
The committee named to con-
;ider plans for gas or oil develop
nent held several meetings with
DR.. H. L. Newman, the promoter
who came from Spokane. No
satisfactory terms could be agreed
IN. DR.. Newman desired no part
n the business except that of a
stock salesman at a large com
mission. He was not willing to
make an investment himself or to
zee the business of putting down
/ test well carried through. DR..
Newman impressed those who
alked with him as an expert in.

PARTY
OF OLD VETERAN
82ND BIRTH ANNIVERSARY OF
c. F. BLAICH OBSERVED
AT ANNUAL DINNER

Christian F. Blaich, one Of the
pioneers on the Fort Peck reser-
walton was 80 years old last Sat
urday, April II. and celebrated
the event by a dinner party at
Stephens Cafe Sunday afternoon.
The party was attended by dozen
of his friends.
Mr.. Blaich's birthday parties
have been annual occasions for a
number of years. Formerly he
has celebrated his anniversary at
his home, but this year Mrs.
Blaich, who celebrated her 84th
birthday on April 5, was taken i'll
soon afterward and was confined
to her bed, so the dinner party
was held at Stephens.
After-dinner talks, stories and
a fine social time with cigars made
by the host followed the dinner.
Tells of Past
The principal talk was made by
the old veteran, who told Of Incl
dents of his Civil war service and
of his life which has taken him in
to 38 states. Until he drew a
piece of land in the Fort Peck
drawing, and settled on the reser-
walton in 1914, Mr.. Blaich has al
ways followed the trade Of cigar
maker. For several years he has
resided in town.
He enlisted with an Ohio regi-
ment before he was Is years of
age, was in several Of the great
battles, marched with Sherman toI
he sea and was in the grand re-
view when his corps was muster
ID out at Washington. He was
BORN in Philadelphia in 1914. He
md Mrs. Blaich celebrated their
golden wedding here in 1917.
The host was suitably remem-
,ered by his guests, some of whom
alled at the Blaich home after
ward to pay their respects to Mrs.
3laich, who is not seriously i'll,
nd to present her with a large
of cut flowers, the gift
f all the guests.

Rubbish bumpers Must

Jerry Flynn, former we'll
known resident of Wolf Point and
owner of considerable property
in and about the city, has a notice
in another place in this issue con-
cerning the dumping of rubbish
on his land just north Of the old
cemetery. Mr.. Flynn was aston
ished to learn that rubbish haulers
were taking the liberty of dump
ing their junk and manure on his
land, and he proposes to have the
practice cease. He is also notify
ing those who have already de-
posted rubbish on his land to re-
move the same within thirty days
or be prosecuted for trespasss and

TRUCK PLUNCES

MACHINE DRIVEN BY T. j.
DELAHUNT BREAKS DOWN
APRON OF FERRY

T. j. DelaHunt had a narrow es
cape from serious injury or {
cold swim in the Missouri river
Wednesday morning about 9:3C
when his Maxwell truck plunged
from the ferry into the river. Mr.
DelaHunt was on his way to the
Southside to help fight some fires
on his ranch there and was crank
ing the truck as the ferry ap-
preached the south bank. 1t had
been left in gear and DelaHunt
barely stepped aside from in
front of it when it climbed the
ive-foot apron which was directly
n front Of it. As the front wheels
reached the top of the apron the
weight of the truck rested on it
and tearing out the pins which
held it broke the apron entirely
down and plunged the truck into
the river. As Mr. DelaHunt
looked over the side Of the ferry
the motor was still running and
splashed water over him.
A four-horse team was pressed
into service and the truck was
pulled out of the river later in
the day. 1t was considerably
damaged, especially during the
process of hauling it out but after
repairs are completed can be used
again.
The fire which Mr.. DelaHunt
was on his way to fight destroyed
half a mile Of fence on his place
and but for the help Of neighbors
would probably have done a large
amount Of damage. Several 9TH
er Southside places have been
damaged more or less by the
brush fires which have been burn
ing through there during the last
two weeks.

ED AND ARE GREETED
BY LARGE AUDIENCE

The grade school operetta "Lit-
tile Snow White" played to pack

the Liberty theatre Wednesday.
An afternoon matinee was given
for the school children and the
evening performance for the
adults, although there were many
children there in the evening also.
The operetta was well present

dren was credit both to their
ability and to the work of those
who trained them. The costuming
was we'll done and showed much
careful planning and many effec-

charge.
One of the prettiest of all the
scenes was when the ensemble of
fairies did a dainty little wood

scene.
The musical parts were excep-
tionally pleasing and the large
chorus with the girls dressed all
in white and the boys in white
shirts and dark trousers made a
pleasing appearance.

TOURIST PARK
FUND BENEFIT
COMMUNITY CHEST SALE
MERCHANTS TO GIVE
PERCENTAGE

The last three days Of next
week. April % and 80 and May 1,
will be the time Of Community
Chest Sale, something new local
~, as a means of raising fund
for a community purpose. Wolf
Point needs tourist park, that
is suitably equipped to accommo-
date our travelling friends. Com
mittees named by the Commercial
club for several years past have
wrestled with the problem without
accomplishing anything definite.
This years committee has decided
on what is undoubtedly the most
feasible location within the city
and hit upon the Community
Chest Sale as a means of raising
funds. The committee is F. H.
Livingston, 0. C. Johnson and F.
j. Neutgens.
5 Per Cent Donated
The plan calls for the three
day period mentioned when spec
ial inducements will be offered by
many of the merchants, and when
virtually all concerns will con
tribute to the fund five per cent
of the receipts Of their cash bust
ness for those days. At this sea-
son a large amount of country
trade is not to be expected, as the
farmers are busy seeding, so the
extent to which the fund benefits
will be largely a matter Of city
patronage. A considerable num-
Der Of the always generous and
enterprising business concerns
will make specially low prices on
many staple articles and display
Of their offers will
be found in this issue. A Com
munity Chest Sale will offer an
exceptional opportunity for buy
ers to supply their needs at re-
duced prices and at the same time,
If they are public spirited and will
ing, to aid a community enterprise
of real merit.
Many other concerns besides
those advertising special offers
have agreed to contribute the FIVE
per cent. and list Of such con-
Germs VIII be found in another
column.
