Scobey, Mont.-On the prairie Of
upper eastern Montana from which
region wheat used to be hauled so
llniles III wagons TO market now
stands the new town Of Peerless, the
present terminus of the Scobey-
Opheim extension Of the Great Nor
thern Ry. Thirty-five miles remain
to be built and the extension will be
completed this year, incidentally
opening for settlement about half
million acres of virgin Montana state
land
The railway reached this new from
tier town November 10th, and $50
cars OF wheat have been shipped out
Of Peerless alone since the first train
came.
Eight hundred farmers Clipped in
1926, 600 with the Great Northern
Railway, to build this so miles Of
railway extension and new empire
about twice the size of the state Of
Rhode Island is being opened in Mon
tana by this project This line which
is extended west from Scobey, Mont,
parallehng the Canadian boundary, Is
to cost about S1,250,OO The farm
ers and few business men purchas-
ed $325,O00 Of Great Northern treas

needed to build the line
This is the first time in the history
of the Northwest that farmers have
assisted in financing an extension
line. These farmers have been haul
ing their grain to market in wagons
and motor trucks, some of them being
obliged to travel 60 miles to sell their
products. Five new towns are being
in this new domain and |
each of these towns will draw grain,

rom about Is townships, represent
ng areas that equal the size Of the |
average Minnesota or Iowa counties |
Considerable area in Canada also
will be served by this railway exten-
;ion. When the road is completed |
his year, it is estimated an addition
Il million and half bushels Of wheat
viii be marketed from this section.
Most Of the wheat raised in this up
Ter region of Montana is eagerly
ought by Eastern millers because Of
ts unusually high protein content,
md it is sold on the market at a
of 15c or more per bushel
.bove ordinary wheat.
The new empire which the extern
ion Of this line will open is one of
he most desirable wheat regions on

To Protect Business Men
From Losses By Poor

Organized for the primary pur-
pose of protecting business men
of TooIe county from losses in
Cured by reason of poor ac-
counts and, in some instances,
fraud on the part of customers,
the Toole County Credit bureau
is now functioning.

Shelby business man, is manager
of the Bureau, which has %
members, and will maintain Of
fees here. New members are be-
ing added daily, Mr.. Van Horne
states, and it is believed that
90 per cent of Toole county
firms will shortly have member
ship. A most mordern system
of filing cards and indexes will
enable the Bureau to keep an ac-
curate check on the credit rating
Of all customers. Conditions
change rapidly in this county, as
new people come here and to the
oil fields every day, For the
purpose Of obtaining a rating for
these people, it was deemed a
necessity that a credit bureau be
organized.

Aloe Territory Attracting
Interest Among Oil Men

en- quite pronounced high by
the last U. S. Geological Survey
map of the field.
The Sunburst and Ohio com
panies are starting wells there.
The Sunburst well, in which Rice
and Fulton are interested, is To-
csted about a half mile west and
mile south of the So Pet
Murrills No. /, which was COM
pIeted a dry hole on Oct. %,
1924.
There is no doubt that the So
well is located in a syncline and
that there is high" to the
west Of it that may be produc-
tive, the Guarantee-Lewis No. l
having about q five-barrel well
in the Ellis at 1875. The Ohio
we'll is located sill farther west
and should either get commercial
production it will open up a new
pool which would extend the field
over six miles south and west.
The Madela Drilling Co. Schulz

work as they get a good gas well,
from 100000 to 100000 cubic
feet in the Sunburst sand around

roaming pipe to shut off this gas
so they can continue to the Ellis
sand. They are also having
trouble with cavings.
