KALISPELL LANDOWNERS
PAYS SEC ON d DIVIDEND

The Kalispell Landowners Royal
ties company will send out dividend
checks tomorrow, representing the
company's second dividend. The
checks will be for w per cent OF the
capital invested by each stockholder.
The first dividend was declared last
month for similar amount and It
is planned to continue these monthly
dividends Fhe company was only
started few months ago, but as
nothing but paying royalties have
been purchased, it makes it impos-
sible to start paying dividends prac-
ticalIy from the start.
Since the company purchased It's
first royalty on the Lashbaugh tract
the production has increased 1000
barrels per day, through the coming
in Of one good well and the intro
duction Of the gas lift. Last month
the company purchased another roy
atty on the Hawkins farm. better
known as the Flickertail pool, and
since the purchase was made two adj
ditionaI wells have come in, one pro-
ducing ESQ barrels per day and one
yielding 200 barrels daily. which
adds considerable to the income OF
the local company The plan on
which this company is organized will
result in taking the gamble out OF
OIL" If this is humanity possible. This
plan in brief is to invest in produc-
ing royalties paying not less than 80
per cent at the time Of purchase,
and sometimes a greater percentage.

QI4ATER A swab production test
will be run at the Bannatyne well as
soon as the work Of removing the
cavings from the bottom OF the hole
is completed, it was announced last
night by G. M. MoCutcheon, one Of
the owners. The hole is expected to
be cleared OF the cavings this after
noon and the swab will be immedi-
ately begun if necessary equipment
has arrived from Kevin and it is con-
sidered certain that the swab can be
Installed not later than Friday morn
ing.
All OF Wednesday was required to
clear the hole to within SO feet Of
the bottom, the bit having reached
1,470 feet Wednesday night. The
bridge which formed at 1,155 feet
when shot Of 14O quarts Of nitro
was fired in the hole, Tuesday was
pushed down to the top of the n
foot sand when the casing was re-
landed, but much time was required
Wednesday to drill through the OBJ
struction After the bridge was
drilled through better progress was
made. but a large amount Of debris
was found in the hole and the great
er portion Of another day will be re-l
quired to entirely clean out the well.
oil Stands at 500 Feet
Oil raised in the casing after the
shot to a height Of between 500 and
900 feet. Bailing done Wednesday
m6fning in connection with the clean
ing out job lowered the stand to ap-
500 feet, kbut it remain
ed at that level apparently without
change during the remainder Of thel
day, although the bailer was at work
a considerable portion of the time,
Mr.. McCntcheon said
No ATTEMPT will be made to esti-
mate the amount of the production
until the swab is made, Mr.. McCut-
cheon stated. He asserted that the
well is without question CONNER
cial producer, but that it would bel
to accurately estimate
what the output will be when the
hole is cleaned out.

QFrom Great Falls Tribune)


Gravity Of the oil from the RALPH
Arnold well on the Bannatyne struc
ture. 40 miles northwest Of Great
Falls, was established at PA Thurs
day with the completion of an anal.
ysis made at the Sunburst Oil and
Refining company in Great Falls
The gasoline content at so f. is 1S.4O
kerosene 3.7, distilatte Sc, gas oil 10
and the residue lubricants and fuel
oil.
The result Of the analysis shows
the quality OF the crude to be much
better than was at first anticipated.
The gravity is virtually tile> same as
most Of the crude from the Kevin-
Sunburst field, but the gasoline re-
coyery is slightly smaller
Nine bailers Of oil we're taken
from the well Thursday morning
after the over might shut down, es-
tabIishing the production from the
u feet Of stray sand reached at 1,44a
at minimum Of 25 barrels daily.
The thickness and quality Of the
sand has created a great deal of in
terest among operators and practical
oil men express the opinion that the
production would be materially in
creased if the sand, which was ex-
tremely tight, was shot.
Drilling was halted Thursday az
ternoon, when the Jumping" Of pin
left the string Of tools in the bottom
of the hole after eight feet Of adj
ditional depth had been made during
the day. Recovery Of the tools is
expected at any time and drilling

United States sometimes wonder why
Paris pays so much attention to South
Americans when the United States
would seem to be more attractive in

Lie Journal, as patron of a big
South American fete at the national

French language and French culture
are to hold their places in the world
South America will be a big factor.
Wealthy South Americans probably
are as numerous as North Americans
in Paris. They regard Paris as the
worlds intellectual and political capi-

not true Of Anglo-Saxons. Therefore,

WASHINGTON, July 9. @-Two de
velopments have brought a lull to the
storm over farm depopulation
In a report to the president, Will
liam M. Jardine, secretary of agri-
culture, outlines a five-year survey
showing that no matter how great
the farm -to-city rush, there is always
backward stroke of the pendulum
"a reasonable interchange of popu-
lation between city and country" he
told the chief executive, "is Benefit
to society 1t is only the extent of
excess movement from farm to city
that is disturbing"
The other ray Of light is inforna-
ton reaching the federal bureau of
agricultural economics that 58 per
cent of number of farm boys an
swering a QUESTIONABLE said they
preferred farming as a means of
livelihood.
Growing d etermin tion of the
younger rural generation to "make
the farm pay' was typified at the
4-H club national encampment here.
Olin Butler, Oklahoma, came to the
Washington camp as an exponent of
the "stay on the farm" movement.
He has been honored for his work as
a poultry fancier and leader in agri-
cultural science.
Continuing in his report to the
president, Secretary Jardine estimates
the farm population as of January |,
1926, at 3O,OOO,00O men, women and
children.
'In normal times the secretary
said, "there is a constant interchange
Of population between the country
and the city. AS farmers retire to
cities, so city people retire to the
farms; laborers move back and forth,
and stream of youth of both sexes
goes permanently from farms to
cities.
"All agencies seeking to promote the
general welfare, whether rural or ur-
ban, should work together to reduce
to a minimum the inevitable disloca-
tions due to this interchange.
It is estimated that the gross move
ment from farms to cities since Janu-
ary /, 1922. has been slightly more
than 100000 persons annually. There
is a certain back-flpw, but little is
known of it's average size. Govern
ment figures show 2,O35,000 persons
moved from rural communities to
cities, towns and villages in 1925. The
reverse movement to farms is esti-
mated at 1,135,OOO, leaving a net
movement of 901, 900 persons away
from the farms. But farm births are
estimated at 10000, as against 1885,
600 deaths, reducing the actual loss
due to the cityward movement to
$4,000 persons.
Students of the situation find it an
economic impulse, constituting an in
dex to agricultural conditions. Rise
and decline of farm prices, taxes and
supply and demand as related to
farm products enter into the question.
"The large movement back to the
farms in 1924 and 1925" Secretary
Jardine said, "doubtlessly included
some persons who had sold their
farms in recent years, but were
obliged to take them back because OF
the failure of promised payments. 1t
doubtlessly also included many farm
owners who found after year or so
that they could not afford to live in
the city on the rentals of their farms
There probably were many laborers
and former farm tenants who had
failed to find their expectations full
filled in the cities"
