Snow Blanket Over
State, He|ena'S FAII
Heaviest in Montana

Montana was blanketed with snow
Monday after the first general storm
of the season. Farmers were crate
full for the moisture after few
weeks of dry weather which in some
sections. had stopped cultivation of
the grain fields. In most sections,
the snow came while the ground
was still open, most favorable
condition for grain in the ground
and for spring growing prospects.
Helena, with eight inches of snow
on the ground at 6 last night.
seemed to have experienced the
heaviest storm though there were
reported about 6 inches at Great
Falls, a steady fall for 36 hours at
Billings and about 3 inches at Boze-
man and S inches on the bench at
Lewiston.
In Plentywood we only had
busting of snow.

When they come they do it In the
night. pull their job and hurry back
across the line"
Conviction of robbery with violence
or in possession of weapons draws
d prison sentence and the lash in
Canada. And we meyer have re-
peater.' said Mortimer. They fear
the lash as they do hanging. 1t is
severe but gun toting and thueeery
need to be dealt with severely. Not
one has ever been returned for a
second offeDse, said the officer sent
by Jack Canuck,
Mortimer proved HI sgas quite fa-
miliar with the names and practices
of most Of the gang around Plenty
wood and Minot.
He had their records almost from

The Latest Oil News

Since the news spread about the
activities in oil circles about the
Whitehall structure, we find that
Sheridan county is also being care
fully scrutinized. Geoloeist Lund,
upon whose report the oil drillers
have found new confidence in the
Whitehall field, has also gone over
the field again in and around Red
stone. DaIeview and Archer, in
Sheridan county. and those who
know, claim that his reports coin
eide with the earlier reports made
by such biologists as Rickert, Spen-
Ger, Brown and Voorhees,, and also
with the findings made many years
ago by Collier who is now chief ee-
oloeist of the U. S. Government.
Ii is claimed there are three
domes in this county, which cover
the territory from Outlook west
and south past Archer, and that
these three domes are very close
together or possibly interlocked.
From reports we have obtained
from good authority, the Plenty
wood-Redstone Holding company
have leases on almost all of the land
covering these three domes and
have succeeded in interesting some
of the larger oil concerns now oper-
atiDe in Montana, and il is practi-
cally certain that a contract will he
signed in the very near future by
which at least two test wells to a
depth of 1000 feet will be drilled
next spring and summer.
Mr. John Nesbit, attorney for
the Holding company was here with
one of the field scouts of these drill
ing companies and he was very
favorably impressed. These parties
left here on tuesday for Great Falls
to complete negotiations to drill two
of these domes.
From these news items, about
oil activities in this vicinity we are
inclined to believe that Plentywood
will be the center of a great deal of
activity next year.

Coolidge FaVOrs Inheritance
Tax Repeal

Washington, Nov. 8.-Presidenl
Coolidge favors repeal of the fedora
inheritance tax, it was said today al
White house.
Presidents position was made
clear even while heated contro-
versy was going on before the house
ways and means committee where
lobbying accusations have flown
thick and fast.
He believes as the treasury recon.
mended. that the United States gov
ernment should withdraw from this
field of taxation to permit the states
to have this revenue which the presi-
dent believes is needed to care for
the increased cost of state govern
ment.
With the provision allowing the
states 80 per cent of this tax, the
president believes that it becomes a
minor revenue measure and that
the states should have the entire
benefit of this form of taxation.
The White House today denied
that any person outside of govern
ment officials had discussed the tax
with the president. Reports had
been circulated in Washington that
IobbiSls had called at the White
House in an effort to influence the
president.

P|entywOOd SurTGnd0Ts
To Crosby 10 TO 0

Last Saturday, November 5th,
the Plentywood High School Foot
ball Team iourneyed to Crosby for
the purpose of avengine the defeat
which they had received earlier in
the season from Crosby.
The Plentywood boys played the
best game of the season and held
the strong Crosby aggregation to
three touchdowns. Crosby has an
experienced team and they were
out to run up a high score against
the supposedly weak Plentywood
neeebors. Crosby had had walk
away in its last two games in de-
feating Keumare SO to O and STAN
ley 81 TO O. They planned on max
ine it a third but felt quite relieved
when they got their three touch
downs. We should feel proud of
ur boys in that they held a strong
team to the score of 1870 Crosby s
three touchdowns were the result of
long passes and making use of Plen-
ivwoods fumbes. The real battle
of carrying the ball lay between
Glib Zeidler and Crosby's fuIlback
with Glib showing superiority.
Krogman. Willard, Mitchell and
Guenther played their best game of
the season.
Due to the excessive amount of
snow the game with Scobey as
scheduled for Friday, November
nth, has been called off for this
season.

Something About Oil

There is one thing about the oil
industry which is not generally un-
derstood, il is one of the most high
ly competitive businesses i'll the
United States. Competition begins
with a mad rush TO buy or lease land
wherever oil prospects are found or
where oil is actually discovered.
The farmer who leases oil land gen
orally makes a larger net profit on
his investment, than do the oil com
panies.
An oil company may be already
producing more crude oil than it can
use, but let some prosDector sink d
well on land adjoining its holdings,
and strike oil, and there is nothing
for it to do but to begin to drill in
order to protect its own land from
being drained dry of oil by surround
ing wells. Or, if a company has
leased land, the lessor Immediately
wants his royalty-he does not care
whether there is already ali oversup.
ply of oil or not.
Nowhere in the world is gasoline
scld so cheaDly as in the United
States. Figures published during
1927 show that average price OF
gasoline in Sc leading cities of the
world was 42.5 cents per gallon.
Average price in leading cities in
United States, from Atlantic to Pa
cific, and from Canada to Mexico,
was 20 6 cents per gallon.

Teachers Retirement Fund
Grows Under Amended Law

Bozeman, Nov. 1.-The teachers
refinement fund in the stat treaury
is $1,000 larger than 1t was a year
ago, by reason of the collection of
back assessments which were being
illegally withheld by various school
districts of the state, according TO q
statement issued here by State
Treasurer w. E. Harmon. A recent
decision of the supreme court on an
appeal from Roundup leaves the
district trustees without authority
to withhold the tax, he says.
The pensioners, numbering 1870,
received this year nearly $400 each
instead of $500 as provided for by
the old law, said Mr.. Harmon. The
law passed by the legislature max
ing the time of service for teacher
who is eligible for pension SO
years instead of Is; and making SIS
the minimum age for pension, has
stopped temporarily the rapid pro-
portional increase in the number. OF
pensioners, but this increase obvl.
0nsly will begin again in five years
and will then, under the restrictive
clause of the new law, cause grad
ual further dimlnution in the
amounts of the annuities.

DiSSonsion Between
Yeggs Leads To
Staying of One

Minot, N. D, Nov. 6 Dissension
which has broken out in the ranks
in bank yeges who have been Oper
atine in northeastern Montana has
resulted in the Staying of Tom or
Dutch" Gary, alias Thompson, 38,
an ex-convict of the North Dakota
penitentiary. and wanted by Mon
tana officials for implication in var
ious robberies. according to Police
Chief John A. Wagner of Minot, who
asserts that he has been furnished
with this information which be re-
CARDS as authentic.
Thompson, who is said to have
been shot and killed by his comrades
in crime, was talking too much ac-
cording to the Minot police chiefs
informant, the identity of whom is
not revealed. The ex-convicts body
il is said, was hidden in coulee
near Plentywood, and the men who
participated in the murder have
scattered out of Montana to escape
apprehension.
Harry C. Locke, 35, another al
legged member of the bandit gang
which preyed on several Montana
banks, and who also was marked
for murder by his comrades, has
fled to Canada, it is reported, dis
euising himself in woman's clothing
to escape his pals and to aid him in
crossing the boundary line.
Rewards of $500 each had been
offered by Sheriff ]. H. Anderson
of Wolf Point for the apprehension
and conviction of Thompson, Locke,
and j. N. Roberts, alias Art Will
liams, alias Art Henshaw, on charges
of robbine a bank at Froid, owned
by State Senator j. Schnitzler,
former North Dakotan.
Roberts and man known to au
th0rities only by the name of
"3Iackie,' who has been sought by
North Dakota authorities for the last
four years for participating in the
Staying of marshal at Westhope,
N. D., and two other men whose
Identities have not been ascertalned
were responsible for the Staying of
Thompson and for the plot to muir
der Locke, the Minot chief was in
formed. Several thousand dollars
which Thompson had in his posses
sion was taken off his body after he
was killed, ii is said, and was div
ided by his slayers.
