CURIOUS FARMER
LEARNS OIL FIELD
HAS MUDDY WATERS

A great curiousity and impotence
on the part of farmer, living in the
Dry Creek basin, recently led him in
to making personal investigator of
stump near the well of the Ohio Oil
company. In an attempt to learn
what form of strata and oils could
be found in the round pit he began
to slip down the hole head first. One
Of the drillers in the field grabbed the
farmer by the heels of his boots and
saved him from learning what could
be found in the dark recesses of the
pit and perhaps saved the farmers
life. The farmer did not reach bottom
but he returned with description of
the well in various formations upon
his clothing.
A tension is apparent among some
of the oil enthusiasts as the drill of
the Ohio Oil company's well is near
ing the expected oil producing
strata.

FEATURE NUGGET
DISCOVERY In
COMIC STRIPS

The gold rush" near Red Lodge
has been received with more than
passing interest throughout the en-
tire country. When Mrs. T. F. Pol
lard discovered eight gold nuggets in
the gizzard of turkey she was dress
ing Christmas Eve the story furnish
ed copy for editors of metropolitan
dailies and country weeklies of the

for prominent cartoonists of the

three sections; the first section Show
ing woman holding sparkling mug
gets in the palm Of her hand while her
farmer husband gazes at them with
pleasure. The second strip pictures the
farmer, holding a pick, following tur-
key footprints up the trail of hill,
saying lead me to that gold mine,
Mr.. Turk" The third picture shows
the farmer in his kitchen with for
lorn expression on his face and finds
that his wife and three boys have |
dined on the entire turkey. He asks,
where's that turkey" and she replies
with the query where's yer gold
mine"
The cartoon appeared in all of the
iaily papers edited by the Hearst
syndicate which reaches the Ameri-
AN public from coast to coast.

LOG HOUSE, MEETS
APPROVAL in CITY
S1lOO Is Available Toward
Construction; To Be Built
On Legion Park Site

While no formal meeting has been
held in perfecting plans for the Legion
Memorial ''log house. for Red Lodge
since preliminary plans were laid week

piled as to the cost and amount of

serve the community as a gymnasium,
basketball court, dance hall, and
structure suitable to accommodate
spectators for stage presentations and
other get-together meetings. The

such a community building in mind

ter had been dropped.
The log house will be constructed OF
the Legion park site, opposite the
Northern Pacific depot on the west.

unique appearance to our mountain
city.
The sum of $500 is available in the
American Legion fund toward the
construction Of the building and an
additional 5000 has already been raised
from other sources. The plan for the
log house is meeting with the approval
of the people of the city and it is ex-
pected that the entire cost Of con
struction can be solicited from the
residents of Red Lodge. However, de-
finite plans for financing the venture
have not been made. DR.. C. L. Koehn,
