FULTON BLOWS OFF
PONDERA GASSER


The discovery gas well in the Pr
dera field, was opened up for The
second time within ten days, :sst
Thursday when VIM. Fulton decided
that it needed loosening up and or
dered it opened up for cleaning o':;
A two inch pipe in the control head
was opened and the gas pressure
forced the oil in the well nearly
thousand feet in the air and those
who were on hand say that it was a
great sight The valve was kept op
en- for twenty minutes and during
that time the pressure did not dim
inish and also during that period oil
was forced high in the air. In fact
many oil men think that the flow Of
oil has increased in this well, as it
was estimated that about so barrels
was sprayed out over the prairie AID
in the snow Several days afta-
wards E. B. Emrick dipped up fiTe
gallon can Of pure oil from small de
pressions in the snow and groun1
where it had collected.
The rock pressure stiT remains
about SIS pounds and the gas Inv
is estimated at three and one-nelt
million cubic feet. The gas issues
from the well higher or ahead Of the
OIL and therefore forces the oil back

Missoula, Feb. S.-Montana Las
more money available for road con-
struction from federal aid funds nan

New York, figures received at the
bureau of roads offices here indicate.
Practically all Of the federal aid
funds to be expended here in the fu-
ture must be matched on a basis Of
56 percent state or LEGAL approprla-
tions, as the large majority of pro-
jects eligible Tor 100 percent federal
aid are completed.
At present there is available for
Montana from the federal aid fund
s56SO,1O3, while New York may
match $6,9O7, ,29O. Idaho has $1,O46.-
SO4 unmatched federal aid; Wash
ington, $1,S14.645; Oregon, $1,6S1,535
Less than million dollars of fed
eral aid for Montana expiring July 4,
1928, now remains to be taken up,
and rapid progress is being made in
matching this money, SO that It now
appears that none of it will be for
feited.

productive as far as oil was concern
ed. While a good oil bearing sand
was found at the base Of the Ellis.

with oil, there WAS not sufficient
quantity to warrant commercial
well. The we'll was completed abou-
twenty feet into the Madison lime
where a small flow OF sulphur wassr
was struck. rhe well will be piuSg-
ed and the crew transferred to the
Pendroy we'll which was drilled to
laOu feet tefore cold weather aad

The Healy Springs well was just
another of those hard luck wells.
The well logged within five feet 81
the geogical map prepared by E. R.
Emrick. It was 20 feet higher than
the discovery we'll at Pondera, 9S
feet higher than the Whiteside well
and 13O feet higher than the Mid
way. The same luck has happened
often in the north field, where pro-
duction mas been found in an offset

In this Ease there should have oea1
oil in commercial quantities and al

but the Continental Development

The Fruit Cleanup

All citrus fruit must be removed from Valley trees
by March /, according to the edict Of the Federal
Horticultural Board. which last year imposed a limited
quarantine upon Valley fruit as a control measure to
prevent Morelos fruit fly infestatiOn.
All commercial growers will have their trees cleaned
Of fruit by that date. but inspectors frankly admit they
expect to have some trouble in prevailing upon resi-
dents Of the cities or those who have a few trees for
ornamental purposes to comply with the mandate of
the federal board. Mayor Cole Of Brownsville and
mayors Of several other Valley cities have issued proc
lamations requesting owners OF trees within the limits
Of their respective cities to comply with the order, and
Il Is very essential that every tree be clean Of fruit
not later than February 20.
A thorough inspection Of the entire Valley will be
may be placed in a very embarrassing position. The
made by a force of federal inspectors Immediately after
March l. and IL fruit Is found on the trees, the Valley
federal horticultural board, in limiting the quarantine
on Valley fruit, was as lenient as it could be under
the law, and the action was taken upon the assurance
that full cooperation would be extended by Valley
residents to prevent infestation Of the orchards. I'm
less this cooperation IL extended. the board may be
di.posed to take more drastic action before the next
fruit crop IL ready for the market, and such action
would result In q very serious loss to the citrus in
dustry.
Hundreds Of sour orange trees In Brownsville have
fruit remaining on them. and it will probably remain
there until it drops off. ualess the owners are per-
sonally notified. and in some cases compelled to re-
move the fruit. Under an order passed by the COM
mis,ioners' court the tree may be destroyed unless the
owner complies with the provisions Of the quarantine,
and this order should be rigidly enforced wherever
fruit In found on the trees after March l.
Citrus fruit production is rapidly becoming the
principal industry Of the Valley. Approximately
500 900 900 is now invested in Valley groves. and the
industry cannot afford TO be handicapped by a few
worthless trees which are q menace to the huge COM
r.re;sl groves the Valley growers are developing.

that fundamental rrecept Of democratic government.
Indications are there will be . number Of contests
for state offices, and a run--off primary to determine
the will Of the majority is practically assured. There
probably will be several contests for county offices.
and there is every indication that majority candidates
for all offices win not be selected at the first primary.
To prevent plurality nominations it will be necessary
to hold q run-off.
The item of expense is a small matter. A second
primary will be necessary to name the state candidates,
and to add one or more county contests will not mate
rally increase the cost Of election machinery.
The views expressed by the county chairman and
county Judge are believed to reflect the views of the
great majority Of democratic voters Of Cameron county.
The committeemen should give this matter careful
consideration before again eliminating the run-off pri-
mary and placing upon the ticket any candidate who
has failed to receive a clear majority of the primary
votes.
In a number Of states the law requires q candidate
to have a clear majority Of his party votes before his
name is permitted upon the general election ballot.
The Texas election laws permit the county committee
men to decide whether run-off primaries will be held
to determine candidates for county offices where no
candidate receives n majority at the first primary.
Why. Texas, the lesding democratic state Of the
Union, should permit a law which Is in direct contra
vertion to the precepts Of democracy to remain upon
its statutes. Is one Of the unfathomable mysteries Of
politics. However. it provides plenty OF scope whereby
the county committees can manifest their allegiance to
the principles Of the democratic party by requiring q
run-off whenever a candidate fails to receive a clear
majority OF the vote cast. County candidates are NOM
mated and elected largely upon their individual merits
and fitness for the positions to which they aspire. and
the verdict Of the majority is almost invariably one
which tends TO assure the best possible administration
of public affairs.
