LOOK OUT FOR FAKEsl

Most Of the papers in the North
west have received orders from the
Acme Farms, Gainesville, Florida, to
insert for ten issues an advertisement
of fresh Florida oranges, at $500 a
box. These advertisements are mail
ed from Atlanta, Ca, on plain paper,
and in plafn envelopes. Inquiries
from the Gainesville, Florida News,
and the postmaster at Gainesville de-
velop the fact that there is no such
firm as the Acme Farms. at that
town, and that hundreds of COM
laints have come in in regard to the
fraudulent nature OF this advertising.
Oranges, it is said cannot be sold at
this price and it is safe bet that
those who answered the advertise
ments viii never receive any oranges.
The postmaster at Gainesville says
that the postal inspectors are trying
TO apprehend those who are respon-
sible for the advertisement and ex-
clude them from he mails. If you
are publishing the advertisement it
would be well to discontinue it and
to inform your readers of its nature.
Later: Three men have been ar
rested at Atlanta and are now in
jail"
The above article is taken from
PolIocll's Newspaper News, a publi-
cation Of Minneapolis. The Review,
like many more state papers, has
been running this ad, and we know of
at least one person from this town
who placed an order with the fakes
We are indeed sorry that we ac-
cepted such advertising. and assure
our readers that we thought that this
concern was perfectly honest. Right
here, the Review wants to state that
no more foreign advertising will ap-
p ar in It's columns unless we know
that concerns doing so are reliable.
Not only are the people out of their
bat the poor publisher is also
out for the advertising he extends to
the fake cause.

George, had visited the Montana oil
field and obtained some acreage in
section 2S, township S5, range l,

commercial wells producing oil Of

considerably higher than the average
gravity of Montana OIL which runs
around 80 degrees.

essed by the state and collected by
he claimant had not been paid to the
tate.

PETERSON WELL GETS WATER
AT THE BASE OF ELLIS SAND
Producing Horizon and Big
Flow Saved

The Peterson -Broderick we'll, three
miles northeast of Shelby, which has
been regarded by many operators as
one of the most important wildcat
tests in Toole county, found sulphur
water in the Ellis sand Monday, ac-
cording to c. r. Macy, state oil and
gas inspector, who arrived from the
field Monday night.
A flow of from 100000 to 5000
900 feet of gas was found in Sun
burst sand of this well and two stray
sands containing good showings Of
oil were found above the top of the
liemstone The operators, according
to Mr. Macy, plan to plug the hole
back to the Sunburst horizon and
will save the gas.
The well, located in sw sw NV 49,
1922 W, is only short distance from
Shelby and is lower in structure than
any of the others in which substan
tial oil showings have been found
The first sand below the Sunburst
contained a heavy black oil, appar
emily of a parafiine base, while the
second oil was lighter and similar to
that of the Snh u-st sand IN the
main produ eing field. The SuntuTst
horizon in the n-Broderick
well was found at 1,525 feet and the
ton of the Madison lime was struck
at 1853
Mr.. Macy is now in Billings where
ne will meet with operators of the
Lake Basin field Encroachment of
water into the gas bearing sands of
this field has been a problem in this
field for a considerable time and Mr..
Mazev recently ordered district en-
forcement of the state railroad COM
MISSIONS casing regulations in an eff
fort to prevent the water from drown
ing out the gas, which is found in the
Eagle formation Mr. Macy stated
Monday night that he had received
nromise of cooperation in this effort
from several of the Lake Basin oper-
ators.

"Gratitude"

ating in view of an event which viii
take place in Great Falls tomorrow
morning. In the grey dawn of that
winter morning, the man who is
primarily responsible for every cent
taken out of the Kevin-Sunburst field
by the government, the state and
hundreds of individuals will walk
down to the railway station accomp-
anied by a u S. marshal and board
a train for the big prison at Leayen-
worth Kansas. For two years, An-
less pardoned, repreived or paroled he
must remain behind the grim walls
of that prison. He leaves with no
fsBeley, no lands in the field which
he discovered, no property, except
a faithful hunting dog, not in some
manner encumbered. The train upon
which Gordon Campbell travels to-
ward his prison will be pulled by a
giant locomotive fueled by oil taken
from the field which he found. It
will pass within a short distance of
of derricks erected because
Of his genius and faith. The liquid
gold will continue to gush forth
from hundreds of wells not one Of
which would have ever been drilled
but for him. But for the man upon
whom sardonic Fate has played this
tragic prank, all northern Toole
would today be deserted land,
snow alone concealing its unsightli-
ness from the eyes of the occasional
passerby. it's vast stretches broken
by dry coulees and ugly hummocks,
ield utterly waste and useless. 1t

| (From the Lewis.own Democrat
News, Saturday, November 20, '26)
During the past two years the state
of Montana has received from royalty
oil produced on it's land in the Ke-
vin-Sunburst field the sum of $780,
971.S2 OF this sum $130156.54 was
received during the fiscal year end
ing June 80, this year. The last
quarter of this year brought in $42,-
1864. Assuming that present pro-
Guction holds up the state will re-
ceive for the current fiscal year more
than three hundred thousand dollars
in revenue for its oil in that district
1t is reasonable to believe that be-
fore the oil on the states land up inI
Toole county is all exhausted, the
government of Montana will be en-
riched by a million dollars, perhaps
several million dollars. One group
of oil operators recently sold their
interests in the Kevin-Sunburst field
for three million dollars; another
group sold out for five millions. A
third group of which Governor Erick-
son is one has received hundreds of
thousands in dividends on com
paratively small initial investment.
Hundreds of people have profited di-
rectly, thousands of them indirectly
by the discovery and production of
oil in that great field Toole county
itself has been reclaimed from what
almost to a condition of
to one of general prosper
ity by the oil operations. All told
the field has produced more than
twenty-five million dollars worth OF
oil and is still largely undeveloped

BLUE FLAME GAS ON
HUMMER THIS WEEK

A number of the patrons of the
Blue Flame Gas company have trans
ferred over to the Northern Gas com
pany this week as a result of the
formers lines freezing, and leaving
its customers in rather uncomfor-
ts3le position.
This is not the first time that this
has happened this winter, it is re
ported, and leaves those who are us
ing this gas in the cold. The Review
while not wishing to hammer" in
any way has used the Northern Gas
ccmpany's service since this concern
has taken control, and we wish to say
that under the management of Mr..
McPhillips we would not ask fol
better service than that which th
Northern is giving.

Other States Tax 1t
"The association feels that it can
consistently go before the state legis
lature and ask that this situation be
rmedied, SO far as it can be by tax
ing all gasoline alike Montana is
the only oil producing state in the
Union which does not tax imported
gasoline the same as its own product.
Chief Justice w. H. Taft of the
United States supreme court, in an
opinion recently delivered, held in ef-
feet that it can be done by all states.
The chief Justices opinion was that
commodities transported in interstate
commerce are subject to a state tax
the moment they come to rest, either
under the head of a property tax or a
license tax
1--WE have made a thorough investi-
cation as to gasoline taxes imposed
by other states, and the means by
which the levy is collected. The fact
stands out the situation now existing
in Montana does not obtain in any
other oil producing state. AS secre-
tary of the Montana association
wrote to other state associations, and
to my information that Montana per
mits gasoline to be imported tax
free by consumers many of them re-
piled with a hearty Ha! Ha! They
wanted to know if the Montana oil
industry is being conducted by

laws under which they were operating
and asked if Montana had ever
thought of anything like that The

REID WINS OVER MAD
DOCK BY z TO | VOTE

Phoenix.-In the bitterest cam
paign III the organization, campaign
in which were drawn the names of
Governor Hunt and Senator Cameron
with 4isquieting frequency, F. A..
Reid Tuesday was reelected president
of the Salt River Valley Water Users
association over Thomas Maddox,
former state engineer by the over
whelming majority of 53,345. The
vote was Reid 92,395, Maddox 39,050
The vote was the biggest ever
polled by the water users, not only in
number of ballots, but in percentage
and the interest in the outcome was
keen until it was made certain the
election of Reid was assured, and by
heavy margin.
Because of the alleged friendship
of Maddox for Governor Hunt, and
his close connection with Senator
Cameron, it is expected the result of
the election Tuesday viii have a big
influence on the Forthcoming primary
election and in the general election
next fall. The governor twice vehe-
mently denied he was concerned in
the choice for that place, and Cam
eron few weeks ago sent a tele-
gram to local newspaper disclaim-
ing any interest whatever in the out
come. But, because Reid is not con-
sideled supporter Of either Hunt or
Cameron, the rumors persisted until
the water users votes were cast, and
probably had bearing on the result.

JUSTICE PULLIAM CUTS
DOWN OUR POPULATION

Justice of Peace Tom Pulliam, act
ing also as police magistrate in the
absence of Frank M. Gold, has been
busier'nthunder lately.
There's a man on the south side
sort of mixed up in the disorderly
house business. Some of the habitues
of the place were brought before Mr..
Pulliam. He fined four of the bunch,
two of them colored, $50 each and
gave each so days in jail, renting
the latter part Of the penalty in case
they are out of this county by Satur-
day night.
In the crowd were Joe Ruiz and
wife and his two sisters. Joe had
served Jail sentences here for wife
beating and fighting, then worked a
week in the sawmill at Williams and
got his hand cut off, Since then, it
is said, the women of the family have
been supporting Joe. Joe and the
three women were ordered out of town
and county.
Joe's brother was brought to Jail
here few days ago charged with
burglary of the Dial store at Will
Hams. Another brother, Florencio,
was sent from here to. the state peni-
tentiary recently. The Ruiz family,
Joe especially, are not popular with
the peace. officers of this county.
Luciano Lopez, another of the dis
orderly bunch, says he's going to de-
mand trial.
Eddie Costello is in jail charged
with beating up man who is said
also to be identified with the above
bunch Eddie says the man pulled a
gun on him.

muddy and rough but the portion
through the canyon in fine shape. Two
new bridges have been built so the
trip down the canyon can be made

or no. Heavy frosts damaged fruit
