STANDARD DEEP
WELL CONTRACT
CARSCALLON G. JONES READY
TO BEGIN OPERATION,
POPLAR DOME

With a contract for standard
hole to begin at 20 inches and be
carried to 1000 feet if necessary
the new drillers, T. p. Jones and
E. J. Carscallon are preparing to
build their rig on a new site on
the Poplar dome. All geological
signs point to oil at less than
$500 feet and with big outfit,
such as will be used, the job will
not be long drawn out.
Financing the enterprise, under
taken by the Community Drilling
company, is not expected to be
difficult and the continued sup
port of the project is anticipated.
A deposit to show the good faith
of the company is the first step
and will be followed by an inten-
sive campaign all over the terri
tory for the next 80 days. The
first hole brought encouraging
showings of both gas and oil and
with the new hole, which will
start at 20 inches diameter and be
carried "as big as you can as far
as you can," there will be no
danger of the hole becoming too
small to allow real test of the
field.
The board of directors of the
Community Drilling company has
secured the services of Harvey
and Lloyd Montgomery, in the
Wolf Point territory, as represen-
tatives of the company and be-
speak for them a courteous audi
ence when they call in the inter
est of this project, which means
go much TO northeastern Mon
tana.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN
LAID AT LAST REST

When taps were sounded and
the flag draped casket bearing the
mortal remains of Marshall j.
Loveioy was lowered into the
grave in Greenwood Saturday,
Dec. 8, one more of those self
sacrificing heroes who offered
their youthful strength and cour-
age to save the union was sub
tracted from the small and rapid
ly diminishing number remaining.
Private Lovejoy served with the
Sth Iowa cavalry and campaigned
in the South and West under Gen
eral Grant. He enlisted June Is,
1863 to serve three years but was
given his honorable discharge
November 4, 1854 because of dis
ability resulting from an acciden-
tai injury.
He was born March %, 1912 at
Waukegan, Ill. At the age of
about IL years he came with his
parents to Horton, Iowa, near Wa
verify. Soon after the war he was
married and moved to Chicago.
During the rebuilding period, fol
lowing the great Chicago conflag-
ration, he followed the business of
roofing contractor. Later he and
his wife moved to Texas where
they resided a number of years
Mrs. Lovejoy died there. During
the last eight years of his life he
made his home with his nephew,
Harry E. Lovejoy in Valley coun-
ty and more recently in this city.
Until a year and half ago his
health was not in a serious condi
ton. Death was caused by
weak heart and general disability
due to war service and old age.
He had received a pension from
the government for some time.

$5,0OO,OOO SEIZURE
OF NARCOTICS MADE

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-One ton
of narcotics, valued by federal au-
thorities at $5,000,000, was seized
Tuesday night by special agents
Of the treasury department at a
/ Hudson river pier
The seizure was described by
United States Attorney Tuttle as
the largest of it's kind on record
Tuttle said that arrangements
for bringing in the contraband,
which arrived Friday on the
French liner Rochambeau, had
been made by man named Klein,
name which was one of the
aliases used by Joseph Unger, re
Gently arrested on narcotics char
ges growing out of the investiga-
tion of the Staying of Arnold Roth
stein, Broadway gambler.
The narcotics, contained in five
large packing cases, were marked
as being trans-shipped to an un-
identified consignee in Philadel-
phia.
The agents made their estimate
of the value of the cargo on a
hasty survey of the one case they
opened The cases were each
large enough to have contained a
small automobile and the agents
coid tbo co;1,,ro ,,,iobt turn o,1t t0
be one of the largest in the his
tory of the port Plans were made
to dispatch agents to Philadelphia
to attempt to find the consignees.
The Rochambeau docked at
pier 81 in the North river but the
cases were seized at another pier

sibly for shipment to Philadelphia.

PEACE TREATY
OR NAVALBILL?
BATTLE FOR PRIORITY OF
CONSIDERATION WAGED IN
SENATE

WASHINGTON, Dec 19.-Hard-
ly had the Kellogg peace pact been
reported formally to the senate
Wednesday before surprise
move was initiated to take it up
for immediate consideration ahead
of the long pending naval con-
struction measure.
An attempt of Chairman Hale of
the naval committee to put the
house bill authorizing construc-
tion of Is new cruisers before the
senate in accordance with the
program of the republican steer
ing committee, was blocked and a
decision on which would get the
right of way went over until
Thursday.
When Senator Hale put his mo-
tion to take up the naval bill upon
the disposition of the pending
business, Senator King, democra-
tic, Utah, countered with a sub
stitute motion to put ahead of it
the peace treaty which had been
received a few hours earlier from
the foreign relations committee.
Senator Norris, republican, Ne
braska, another opponent of the
naval measure, joined King and
served notice that there is no
chance for a vote on this propo-
sition today" A moment later the
senate adjourned and Senator
Hale gave notice that Immediately
upon it's reconvening Thursday he
would re-institute his move to
make the naval bill the unfinished
business.
President Coolidge particularly
is anxious for disposition of both
the treaty and the navy bill and
leaders believed they had worked
out a situation whereby there
would be no quarrel over the
priority of the two.
Under the program which had
the approval of Chairman Borah
of the foreign relations committee
who is sponsoring the treaty and
of Chairman Hale, the two sub
iects would take their place in reg
ular order. This would be given
the naval bill right of way under
the senate's program, and Borah
earlier in the day had announced
he would wait until after Christ
mas to take up the treaty when
It could be considered with a view

USUAL CHRISTMAS TREE
PROGRAMS ABANDONED

day school are invited to gather at
the church. At this time the usual
treat, which ordinarily is distrib-
uted at the time of the program,
will be given out.
Sunday afternoon, Dec. 23. at
three O'Clock, in place OF the
usual Christmas program, the
Catholic children are invited to go

General Cleanup
Complaint was heard to the eff
feet that the officials did not get
all the places where gambling was
going on or slot machines were
operated. Charles Council, under
sheriff, when interviewed, said
that the raid Tuesday evening was
just the initial move in a cam
paign to rout out gambling, and
that no one need feel sighted on
account of not being haled into
court, for he will receive atten-
tion the next time there is a raid
From now on the official thumbs
are down, not only on slot ma
chimes and poker games but on

City Backing County
Mayor Stennes says that the
city officials are back of the sher-
ifs office in this move to clean
out gambling He says that there
had been considerable criticism of
the administration for not putting
the lid on the gambling, and that
it was this evidence of public
opinion that determined them to
90 or the cleanup campaign.
It is understood that in num-
Der of instances school children
have been in the habit of playing
the slot machines. Superinten-
dent Livingston said that COM
plant had been made to him that
this was being permitted in GER
tain places, but that he had never
actually seen any of the school
children playing slot machines.

who may not know of it, there has

Reading is a transient, who came

Expected Warning
The raid and confiscation of

who were operating the machines

inasmuch as they have not been

should have been warned before

welcome news that the contract
for the Wolf Point bridge across
the Missouri had actually been let

Make Big Saving
HELENA, Dec. .-Re-advertis-
ing the Wolf Point bridge con-
struction project resulted in a
saving of more than $4,000, the

Wednesday, when it opened bids
on the 1,073-foot span for the sec

let Wednesday to the Missouri
River Bridge and Iron company
of Leavenworth, Kan, for S427,-
64440 which is about $4,000
lower than the engineers esti-
mate. The same concern was
low bidder in October and its bid
Wednesday included unit prices
the same or lower than its first
bid.

only automobile crossing on the
Missouri river between Fort Ben

tance of about 400 miles, will cost
the state about s30,16S, the re-
mainder of the expense being met
by the federal government.

bid of s3,1S1, received a contract
for constructing the 76-foot bridge
across Little Wolf creek on the
Wolf Point-Circle road, an auxil
