TO DRILL FOR OIL
AT WHITEHALL

Oil excitement in the vicinity of
Whitehall grows as runners of the
coming Of drilling outfits spreads.
Plans for immediate development in
this region are now beyond the talk
ing stage.
In an interview Tuesday with A.
M. Hansen, president and Harry F.
Brown treasurer, of the Travellers
Oil Company of Whitehall and Minot,
the writer was informed that MIR.
Brown and Mr.. McGrann the Vice
President Of the company would leave
Wednesday for Shelby and the oil
field in the western part of the state
to investigate the drilling operations
there and if possible to buy either
diamond drill or a standard rig, or
both to be used in the drillink of a
test well in the Whitehall territory.
Mr.. Hansen and Mr.. Brown are both
very enthusiastic over the progress
made so far by the Travellers Oil
Company and assured us that there
would be something doing as soon as
Mr.. McGrann and Mr.. Brown return
ed from the Sunburst-Ke field and
made their report.
1t is now certainty that there viii
be something doing in this fall or the
first thing in the spring With the
bunch of progressive business men
who are at the head of this company
we feel assured that the test will be
pushed to completion at an early date
to find out if there is oil in this
part of the state or not

P UBLIC ROADS
CAN Be BUILT OVER
INDIAN LANDS

There has been considerable dis
cussion as to whether the county has
the authority to lay out and build
roads over Indian land on the Reser-
walton. The matter seems to be fair
ly we'll settled as indicated by the fol-
lowing excerpt from a letter from c..
+. Hauke, chief clerk Of the Depart
ment Of the Interior, Indian Depart
ment to Mr.. j. II. Davis who farms
extensively on the reservation and
who is interested in getting roads
built out onto the reservation.
Mr.. J. H. Davis:
The opening of public roads over
Fort Peck Indian lands is author
lied by the Act of March 4, 1915.
(3S Stat 1889 In conformity to and
IN accordance with the laws of the
State. However, provision is made
that before title to any road is fix
ed in the records of State High
way authorities, notices shall be
served on the Indian superintend-
ent, and map of definite location
Illed with and approved by them.
Ii such approval is obtained roads
may be opened across such lands
even over the objections of Indi-
an owners in the same manner as
would be the case with other than
Indian lands or privately owned
lands.

Montana. He said much criticism
arises through that part of the state
because it does not receive proper
consideration in state matters, spoke
Of the great development OF northern
Montana, its leadership in wheat pro-
duction, that Havre has shown more
development than any city of its size
IN the state and that the great dis
tanceS has prevented many high
school graduates from that section
attending the state normal school.
w. M. Johnston of Billings, repre-
senting that city in the matter made
a number of talks in support of the
recommendation of the committee.
The result was that the board de-
feated the motion of Judge Rhoades
and adopted two motions by R. M.
Line of Columbus, first, that the
board adopt the report of the COM
mission selecting Billings as the To-
cation of the western Montana nor
NAL school, and second, that the board
further adopt the recommendation of
the commission as to the selection of
the 5z-acre site belonging to the Bill
lngs Realty company.
At the conclusion Mr.. Bossuct
thanked the board for its courtesy to
the northern Montana delegation and

Wolf Creek Community
Dance Successful Affair

The fourth of a series of dances
which have been held at the Ccmmun-
ity Hall at Wolf Greek came off very
successfully last Saturday evening in
spite of the muddy roads which made
travelling difficult. The large crowd
which gathered there found the three
piece orchestra quite lively, and that,
with the good floor and the highly
pa1atable lunch contributed in making
the affair one Of enjoyment to every
one. Another similar daance with a
saxaphone to be added to the music
has been promised two weeks from
nOw-October LIST.
This Community Hall was built by
donations from public spirited citi
zens in Flaxville, Redstone, Plenty
wood and neighbcring towns, and is
a splendid example of what cOOpera-
ton in and between communities can
do. The hall is fairly large and has
a platform in the front suitable for
amateur theatricals CIR for any pro
grams which the neighborhood may
see fit to give. There is also a full
size basement to the hall which it is
hoped can soon be finished and fully
equipped. Outside there are two cor
rails which are used fer rodeos and
stampedes. There is even room on
the grounds for miniature fair.
On the place there is still an IN
debtedness of $500 which everyone
hopes will soon be paid off by the
returns from dances and social af-
fairs. With the whole-hearted sup
port of those in and about Wolf Creek
have hitherto shown, the debt can
soon be cleared, and the work accom-
plished will set fine precedent for
future enterprises designed to benefit
the common veal.
