GREAT SAVING 70 THE
STATE IN NEW PLANT

Helena, Oct. 80. Thousands Of dol
lars will be saved to the state OF Mon
tana during the next few years by the
automobile license plate manufactur-
ing plant, recently established at the
state penitentiary at Deer Lodge. &C
cording to Warden Austin B. Middle
ton, who derived his estimate from
cures compiled by J. e. Murphy
state purchasing agent.
Establishment OF the plant at Deer
Lodge was recommended by Gov. >.
E. Erickson in his message to the 2Oth
general assembly last winter, and he
legislature made provision for carry
tag out the governors suggestion
The total cost Of equipment and in
sta.lation including a good margin for
miscellaneous expense, has, according
to Mr.. Murphy, reached but $4,000,
slightly more than half Of the $20,OO5
Allotted by the legislature.
Conservative figures show that the
new plant will pay for :tseIf within
two years on the saving by manufac-
ture within the state, the warden
Gays. Based on the estimated con-
sumption of 125,OOO pairs Of plates,
the department will be able to manu-
facture a plate for 7.2 cents as against
a cost OF 14.8 cents in 1925, 12.4 cents
in 1926, and lit cents in 1927.
On this basis, the state would have
saved in 1926 a per plate cost Of 7.6
cents and a total OF 1888; in 1926, 5.e
cents per plate, or total Of $6,562.50,
and this year 4.5 cents per plate or
S5,6875O. During the three-year per-
iod, Montana could have saved $21, ,785
had the automobile license plates been
manufactured at home.
1t is estimated that an additional
saving will be made by the manufac-
ture of road signs and markers and
fish and game signs.
An expert has been placed in charge
Of the factory and supplies for the
1928 plates have been ordered. With
the arrival of the steel and dies, work
will be started. It is expected that L.
600 plates will be turned out daily.

WOrkmen who went to the

Lashmutt had arrived there
found the body pinned under
the beam, which weighed be-
tween ton and half and two
tons. Death apparently had
been instantaneous. From the

The well was producing oil
from a pump operated on the
beam and Mr.. DeLashmutt had
gone to the rig to make an cx-

The fall of the beam was caus-
ed by the breaking of a brace.

FIRE AT RADIGAN
OIL WE'LL CONTROLL-
ED IN FEW HOURS

Fire which broke out at the
Radigan-Hungerford we'll, in
section 12-24-2w, late Monday
forenoon was extingushed at 4
j. m, after the flames had
caused a loss estimated by
Bruce Radigan, one of the own
erst, at between $500 and $4,-
600.
Property destroyed by the
fire was the derrick and its
equipment and the production
for five OF six houss. The we'll
now is producing around 800
barrels day. The engine
house, which was damaged by
an explosion, was far enough
away from the fire so that the
engine was saved.
Two employees at the rig, E.
M. Tucker and William Gill,
while unframed, escaped with
their lives with but a few sec
onds to spare. Tucker, with oil
saturated clothing, was work
ng at the top Of the derrick
md had decended but an inst
mt before the entire derrick
vas roaring mass of flames
He had stepped out on the
round when the oil and gas
vas ignited and a burst of
lanes Ieaped over the crown
block.
Gill's escape was by no great
r margin. He had been in the
engine house and had taken
only a few steps away from the
door when that building was
demolished and scattered over
the prairie by a freak explo-
sion Of the pentup gas inside.
4 was stated by Mr.. Radigan
that he had been inside at theI
time Of the explosion his death
would have been inevitable. |
while had Tucker been at thel
top Of the derrick or on thel
derrick ladder he, in his oil
drenched clothing, would havcl
been in the midst of the fire asl
il swirIed huge clouds around
the upper works of the rig.
The property loss was ofI
little consequence when the
danger these men were in IT,
+" Mr.. Radigan said.
''They both escaped with their
lives with less than minute 10
spare and we consider that
good fortune smiled on us, de-
spite the loss Of the rig and the
production that was consumed. +
''The fire broke out when the
crew was pulling tubing, 4
backfire from the engine ignis-
ing the gas. The loss will not
be more than $500 or $1,000
and we will be shut down per.
haps a week. The work Of
erecting a new derrick will be
started at once.
