CHECKS IN MAIL ToDAY-Ex.
PENsE SINCE JANUARY 1 OVER
$4,000 FOR EQUIPMENT, ETC..
KALIsPELL-KEvIN GIVE DIvl
DEND or FIVE PER CENT.

This is the first week in history
lat two Oil companies are sending
CIT dividends to their stockholders on
the same date. The Baker -Barnhall
Corey swere busy yesterday Afternoon
getting out checks to their stock
lc.ders for its first dividend. which
is for Otper cent of the par value OF
its stock Whfle many expected
more than that amount, it is general
ly looked upon as being a good diyi-
dend, especially when it is taken in
to consideration that the equipment
required to take care of the erratic
activities Of this well, which totaled
up above $4,000, and the further
fact that the company has coming
from the refinery about 20 days run
Ct old up to today.
An Excellent Showing
A statement issued by the Baker
lParnhilI-Corey Oil company shows
that their expenses including all the
equipment purchased and paid for
since January 1st, amounted to $685.
Cos SO; divided as follows: drilling
well No 3, $1,7525O; office expense,
$275. 80; equipment in field, $21 ,OOO.-
70; field expense $3,516.63; payment
on leases, $1,000; clsice furniture and
supplies, 100000. cffice pay roll for
stenographer, $3.50 90; pay roll in
field, $2,569.OO, making grand total
amount received from production
January and February, $4O,O05.6s.
Well No. was put on the pipeline
January 18th but owing to the lack
of proper storage facilities the well
was pinched down to small produc
tion during the greater part of Jan
uaIy. The company now has IS
days coming, from March 10Th to
March 31st, during which time the
production was very heawy, several
days during that period 1000 barrels
per day was turned into the pipeline
All of the equipment is paid for, an
expense that the company will not
be required to duplicate In fact
there will be little expense outside Of
the cost of operating the lease and
drilling such wells that will be re
quifed in the future Since the COM
pany has acquired its own rig the
actual drilling expense Of each well
will not exceed $4,000.
Every indication points to at Least
rs per cent being paid monthly from
the one well, provided it keeps up it5
present rate of production Should
No. come into Oil, which is conf
IDENTIFY expected, the dividend would
be doubled and could be paid month
". No is now producing pure gas
and no water, which is interpreted
by Mr. Baker as a sure sign that it !
will eventually come into oil. TheI
well is at present capable Of produc-
ing 100000 cubic feet Of gas. but
is being held back and only permitted
to produce sufficient gas for two
boilers
The showing made by the company

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Brice Belden-


VoU may have observed that,
i in a fundamental way, all
diseases behave in a certain way.
Each disease comes from a def
mite cause, with possibly slight
modification from1ncidental causes

law Of cause and effect.
1 Each disease has fundamentally
definite symptoms and a definite
manifestations of natural law.
These same scientific or philo-
sophical facts apply to tuber.

view of the individual patient.
behaves in a highly irregular man.
ner. 1t assumes all sorts OF unex-
pected forms. At the same time
when we take a wider view over
large groups of individuals, it
tends to vary on such definite
lines. even in its variations, as TO
suggest a conformity to natural
laws.
It has been found, indeed, that
tuberculosis takes it's general char.
acter from the type Of social group
in which it happens to prevail.
The tuberculosis of children, for
instance, is not the same as that
Of adults. The tuberculosis of
females is not strictly comparable
with that. of males. There are
decided differences between the
manifestations OF the disease in
rural as compared to urban areas
and in certain racial groups as
contrasted with others.
Variations in the average age
of death from tuberculosis are
really variations in the survival
period of tuberculosis, and are the
expression of variation in the
clinical type Of the disease.
Anti-tuberculosis measures, there
fore should be prescribed with a
view to the particular community
concerned. and not on routine
lines. And yet the measures ad-
vocated tend every year to con-
form more closely to the routine
pattern which has been found to
answer in big wealthy industrial
communities.
The social variations are TAR 100

throughout different strata of So
ciety, to be described in any defin-
ite terms. They cannot be ex"
planned by any OF the usual form.

Diet, climatic and hereditary
factors enter the problem only as
secondary influences which may

For there are natural laws behind
all these variations In social" tu'

the adaptation of individuals or

Boards Decision
Is Far Reaching

A minority memorandum was filed

All truck carriers heretofore licensed
