THE OIL SITUATION
IN MONTANA

george OtlS Oflul1, QlfectOI
of the United States geological
survey, who recently visited
the Kevin-Sunburst oil fields.
in a report to the secretary OF
the interior describes con
ditions there as ''unfortun
ate." He says operators are
drilling more wells and in
creasing production of oil at a
time when it is not needed
and at a price which is, to say
the least, unsatisfactory.
Mr.. Smith points to the facl
that the refinery capacity in
Montana is only 21,00O barrels
of oil daily, but that 25,000 arc
being produced, and empha-
sizes that the Montana con
sumption is only 14,000 bar
rels a day. He says that the oil
operators with whom he dis.
cussed the situation agreed
with him that something
should be done about it, but
that no one seemed willing
that anything should be done.
Like the oil operators with
whom Mr.. Smith says he talk
ed, we are willing to admit
that so far as we know he is
absolutely correct in each and
every one of his conclusions
as regards the oil situation in
Montana.
But telling an oil man who
is producing oil and selling it
for $105 a barrel, that the
price is too low, that the oil
is not needed, that it should
be conserved and that the
thing for him to do is not to
produce any more, is about
like telling a wheat grower
that the way to make wheat
more profitable is to
quit growing wheat. In each
case the fellow who continues
producing oil or growing
wheat makes the money and
one who quits is left holding
he sack.
1t is true, we believe. that
he operators in the Kelvin
field should receive 4
l higher price for their pro-
luct. That they have not is
lue, as Mr.. Smith points out,
o combination of a limited
'efinery capacity, remoteness
rom large consuming centers
md the high cost of a long
laul which makes it imposs-
BILE to effectually overcome
,ither of these disadvantages.
The operators are not in
ensible to the necessity of do {
ng something to increase the
,rice of their oil in order to
make their operations as pro 3
liable as they should be. The
described by Mr..
smith in the Kevin-Sunburst
ield is not a new one. 1t ex- (
sts and has existed in every S
Ill field in which independent
'perators of limited capital {
lave found production. They !
ant afford to cap their wells,
'ecause they must get their
money back. Therefore the
arger companies cannot sus- s
'end production because if
hey do the small operator
1ill take their oil through off :
et locations. :

FOX FARMER KILLS
SELF With REVOLVER

Edward Miettinen, veteran of the
World War and a farmer who lived
about three miles northwest of Fox,
committed suicide at his ranch home
Tuesday evening. He had shot him
self through the head with .38 re-
volver. Earlier in the evening he had
asked Bert Evans to come to his
ranch the next morning Wednesday,
to help him plant potatoes. The body
was found yesterday morning about
eight o'clock. Coroner r. G. Martin
was notified and with Sheriff John Al
bert went to the scene of the killing.
No reason for the act is known.
Miettinen had been in an intoxicated
condition for a number of days. He
was about thirty-five years of age and
was born in Finland. During the
World War he served on the front d
year. A few days ago he joined the
local posi- OF the American Legion
For number of years past he has
farmed near Fox. A brother, Matt
Miettinen, survives him in Vancouver,
Washington, and father in the old
country. Funeral arrangements have
not been completed until word is re-
ceived from the unfortunate mans
brother.

Large Black Bear
Killed in Washoe

A 1926 pound black bear was killed
near the Washoe boarding house yes
terday morning by Joe M. Miller and
Ed Morgan of Washoe. The large
animal had been heard prowling in the
vicinity Tuesday night and had made
his way to the boarding house the next
morning. 1t is thought he had come
down from the mountains earlier in
the evening but was not seen until the
following morning. Seven bullets shot
from two thirty-thirty rifles pierced
the bears shoulders and back. A
shotgun wound in the head killed him.
When the animal was dressed it was
found that the liver had been shot to
pieces.

and women to whom his remarks were
addressed will heed his advise. They
should realize that ambition is whip;
contentment a beautiful aromatic
flower that never fades. Often lives
are ruined by desire to be great.
It's all right to cultivate in the boys
and girls desire to be great. It's all
right to cultivate in the boys and girls
a desire to aspire to lofty things, but,
at the same time we should teach
them that contentment is even greater
than so called success. We should
inculcate love Of country and take
from their eyes the film of tinsel that
makes city life attractive.
The young man or young woman
who has forty acres of good farm land
is better off than a city resident with
clerkship or salaried position. About
the latter is temptation, smoke, filth,
suffering, leWdneSS and the one num-
dred and one other things that we re-
gret in the cities. On the farm is
health and pure air, clean associations,
elevating influences.
1t is not all sentiment that pictures
the cottage in the foreground of a
rood ocraouo Tharo ic y,oorn m Tho
flowers, the INDEPENDENCE, the gurgl-
ing brook, the singing birds, the
neighborly sympathies and the shelter
from the inclemencies of life than
those, who scoff, feign to believe. May
they not be deceived by the glitter and
the candelabra of the metropolis and
may they remember too, that ennui
enters the palace on the hilltop, just
as it does the cottage in the vale.

Regardless of the fact that they oc-

attention and all the sidewalk during
the last nine months there is no one
who would deny the school children

from base camp at six o'clock Sunday
morning and were back at camp at
two-ten in the afternoon.
The party composed TO three young
boys of this city, Ben Johnson, Elmer
Toffer, and Emer Herronen, did not
start from Base camp but made the
climb from the north side of the noun
tain. The two Bearcreek boys climbed
the peak from the east side.
A flag ceremony was conducted at
the top of the peak at noon. The neck
Of an unopened champagne bottle was
found which had been used for christ
ening the peak, it is thought, about
twenty-five years ago, by the two
daughters Of Mr.. Fox, who was super
intendent Of the local mines at that
time. The name of the mountain is
derived from the middle name Of Mr..
Fox.
Legion members left a galvanized
iron pipe cylinder at the summit, con-
tanning a folio and pencil. Anyone
reaching the mountain may register.
Those making the trip Sunday en-
joyed the climb, the day being ideal.
During the past week a great many
have voiced their desire to make the
trip next year.
