The retail business of
 sw Britain was better in October 1927 than in the two preceding months Of this year. Retail business in October, 1927, however, was not as good as in October, 1926 due to unreasonable weather. The factor ies here are operating about s per cent of normal.

MiddletOWn Situation

Secretary Dugan Of the Middle town chamber reports as follows: There are very few sales being made of business properties which indi- cates that the rapid increase in values which Middletown has eX- perlenced during the past ten years IS losing its momentum.

Retail business is showing slow but steady pickup and, as everywhere else. seasonable weather would help tremendously. Industrial conditions in Middletown remained somewhat the same, possibly running a very little behind, that of 1926. There is very little unemployment due in particular to Middletown's dversi- fled trade and also to the fact that the population of the city is in pro- portion to the amount of industry carried on.

B0nndtyle'S
Sand is Dry

Great Falls, Oct g. The O'Neil
well, being drilled in section l3-26-2
west as a test Of the area near Brady.
Saturday drilled through the sand
which produces oil in the Bannatyne
field. 10 miles to The southwest, at 1,-
7S7 feet, after having reached the top
Of the formation at 1885 feet accord
ing to word received here Saturday
night The sand, which further dem
onstrates that the Bannatyne forma
ticn is continuous over an immense
territory, was dry, with the exception
Of oil showinss at the top and a small
amount Of watsr at the base.
Drilling viii be continued to the top
Of the Madison-Ellis contact, which
probably will be reached some time to-
day. The we'll was somewhat lower
than the No, / O'Neil well, drilled in
section S6-26-2 west last month
Entry Of the O'Neils into the Brady
territory was an influence in causing
the drilling Of several wells some dis
lance west OF the Bannatyne discovery
on the theory that the Bannatyne
structure continued to rise toward the
west from the discovery. The result
has been sharp defining Of the west
ern, or northwestern, boundary Of the
Bannatyne field and a concentration
of drilling to the north, east and south
ct the discovery.
The O'Neil brothers are drilling 4
well in the Bannatyne field, section
2O-26-1 eNfour miles directly north Of
the Genou company's wells, which
probably will register a completion
within the next 10 days This well i
regarded as an important location
with reference to the northern portion
Of the Bannatyne structure.

SOUTH SLOPE YIELDS
ANOTHER BIG GUSHER

According to reports from the

the Wilcox-Harte pool in the east end
Of the Kevin-Sunburst field has had
several important compilations during

found at 1854 and before the oil could
be shut in it had knocked the boards
off the roof of the derrick house
While the well was shut in, the pres
sure forced oil through the threads
Of the pipe.
The Plue Sage Wilcox swabbed so
barrels in an hour and half and
the oil could not be lowered more than
200 feet in the casing. The Dakota

showing Of oil in the hole when drilled
in, but after 1O-quart shot the oil
rose LOO feet in the casing
The Adams -Caine-Adams No. 2 has

Local Royalties Company
Declares Fifth Dividend

The KalispeH Landowners Royalties
company, which made an unpretent-
ious start here about six months ago,
is establishing one Of the most con-
sistent records possible The fifth
consective monthly dividend of ~
per cent was declared this week for
stockholders OF record October 1, and
the dividend will be paid on October
Is, TX per cent on every dollar invest
ed for five months, which is at the
rate of 18 per cent per annom
This company started out on dir
ferent plan than many Of the royal
ties companies The plan was to pur-
chase royalties only that pay all the
way from 80 per cent up, touching
nothing paying less than that amount
until fund was built up that would
take care of the 1S per cent which
is to be paid to the stockholders In
monthly dividends The surplus accru-
ing from the difference on the earn
ings is to be invested in royalties
ahead Of the drill. This briefly is the
plan on which this company is operat-
ing, and it apparently is very success.
full, as the fifth monthly dividend has
been declared and will be paid on the
18th of the present month
This is one of the best illustrations
that the gamble can be taken out Of
the oil business through the careful
handling Of royalties. It is one oil con
Germ that can boast Of a list Of en-
tirely satisfied stockholders. 1t is held
by the officers of this company that
while there are no get-rich-quick III
ducements held out 10 its stockholders
there is a steady return on the invest
ment at a high rate Of interest that
cannot be had in .others offered the
public In the fact the rate paid is
practically three times that of the az.
erage good securities Besides this
each stockhoIder stands chance Of
increasing that income through any
investments made ahead of the drill
with the surplus derived from The diff
ference in the income received and
the 18 per cent paid out in dividends.

New Company Expect to
Furnish Shelby Gas Dec.

Shelby. Twenty representatives OF
the business places Of Shelby were
present at meeting held Thursday
night in attorney Hoyt's office to de-
eide upon the feasibility Of piping gas
from the shelby Gas field. This meet
ing was a success and enough money
was subscribed in ten minutes to show
every evidence Of good faith in this
project. Half of the money necessary
for this project was subscribed at this
meeting
G &c. Hoyt was appointed chairman
of a committee to call on all the users
Of the district and explain the plan
of the project The committee is now
working and all reports 60 to confirm
the general feeling that everyone is
interested, for there is a feeling that
present gas rates are entirely out Of
proportion.
The gas is already above the ground
and a gas company will pipe it to the
city limits, where this new company
will take up the piping and distribute
it about Shelby. The new company
plans to confine the first distribution
lines to Main street and the hotel and
apartment districts on the north side,
and will get into the residential dis
tricts of Shelby as fast as conditions
will warrant.
Ray Larson OF the Larson Bros.
store, who is a convinced backer oil
this new project, said, There has
never been situation arising before
the people Of Shelby that has been ac-
corded the hearty response that this
venture has received and the commit
tee who have placed the proposition
tefcre the people Of Shelby wish 70
thank them q h~;r hearty respo ls4
and the good will shown
1T is believed that the first unit Of
this project will be operating by De-
,cember j. depending on weather con-
ditions and the delivery Of materials.
