A distinctive addition to the growing
Importance of Montana as an Oil pro-

the opening of offices in Great Falls,

general distributors for the entire

president of the Montana Oil 81 Gas as
ISOLATION.
Mr.. Henderson has been prominently
identified with the oil industry in Mon
tan for the past Is years, his first en-
gagement being with the Pure Oil COM
pany, in 1911 and 1912. In 1914 he be-
came associated with the late Sen. T.. G.

which he continued as manager until
1919 when the company sold It's interests
to the Mutual. Later he became vice

quite recently to become the head of the

Montana Doctors
Prescribed 10000
Gallons Liquor

Montana physicians prescribed 12,06l
gallons Of whisky, brandy, gin and rum
in 1927, according to figures compiled
today by O. K. Nickerson, assistant In
charge Of permit at the district pro-
hibition office. During the year 531 GAL
Ions Of wine were prescribed.
During the year 35l physicians we're
given 1,249 prescription books, each con-
tanning 100 blank prescriptions. -Four
books a year allowed each doctor. About
98. 800 prescriptions were written during
the year calling for pints Of whisky, GIN
rum n brandy and quarts of wine,
according to Mr.. Nickerson.
While the Volstead law recognizes that
Intoxicating beverages may be medically
valuable for a white man. the Indian
cannot obtain the remedy for snake
bites and chills. Drug stores and ply
sicians on indian reservations may not
issue prescriptions or sell liquor without
a permit from the interior department.
Drug stores on reservations may obtain
only sufficient alcohol to use In mixing

Physicians who do not apply for pre-
scription books may have c permit al

Development of the Gold Black sand
cOmpany's properties on the Clark's
fork of the Yellowstone river. EXTEND
ing for approximately 30 miles north
of the Wyoming line. has been taken
over by California Interests and opera
ti0ns Will be started Immediately pre-
parat0ry to the installation of a gold
dredge. according to J. G. T.. Barker OF
Great Falls, an officer OF the company.
Mr.. Barker has been notified by Rob-
ert u. Adams of San Francisco, who is
associated with S. M. Peterson of Los An
geles in the enterprise, that a drilling
crew will leave California for Clark's fork
and Immediately upon arrival OF the men
operations viii be started. Under the
contract through which the property was
taken over, the preliminary operations
were to have begun April l, but Mr.. Ad-
ans will have the work under way be-
fore hat date.
Succeed Portland Group
The California interests represented by
Mr.. dams and Mr.. Peterson succeed q
Portland, Ore, group as the operators
who will develop the Gold Black Sand
company's holdings. Drilling of explora-
ton holes at locations along the river has
been carried on for more than a year by
c. 1. Wild, Portland engineer, and it is
largely on his determination of the
values present hat development work
will be undertaken. Mr.. Wild, who will
continue to be identified with the prop
critics, at first was associated with q
number of Portland men, whose interests
on the river were recently purchased out
right by the California group.
Mr.. Wild several months
ago that his exploration work had dem
onstrated the presence of sufficient gold
in Clark's fork SO that the operation of a
dredge there was a certainty. He then
forecast that arrangements would be con-
cluded within a short time for the in
stallation of a dredge and hat opera
lions would be carried on on a large
scale as soon as preparations could be
completed.
The location of the dredge will be de-
termined largely by drilling which the
Adams-Peterson interests will immedt-
ately start, another purpose being to
verify the reports made by MIR. Wild. 1t
is anticipated that all preliminary OPP
erations will be concluded not later han
June l and that preparations for the in
stallation Of a dredge will then be put
under way without delay.
The Gold Black Sand company's stock
is owned principally in Great Falls. John
Mckenzie, Jr., Great Falls attorney, was
elected president of the company at it's
last annual meeting and members of the
board Of directors and other officers are
also fesldenlS OF Jnau city. operations
by the California group Will be carried
on under a lease, the Gold Black Sand
company retaining a royalty interest.
Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Peterson both are
mining engineers with extensive expert
ence in dredge operations and it was
through them that California capital was
interested in the Clark's fork project.
Mr.. Adams formerly was in charge of
dredging operations in Alaska and will
accompany to the river a crew which was
with him in the north country.

no place for the constitutional coward.
Rarely could an habitue OF the effeue
east graduate into a "Liver-eating" ohn
son of the Yellowstone river valley. A
life time was too short to span the dis
lance.
The greatest menace in the early sew
entities in eastern Montana wa the wan
dering bands of hostile Indians. The
members of the militant tribes, seeking
to establish themselves on their ancient
buffalo hunting grounds, were OF one ac-
cord in their determination to hold back
the rising tide Of white men coming to
conquer a virgin land Wave upon wave
was met only to that the white man
was advancing step by step, until the
aborigines through a coalition reached
their zenith of power during the early
summer of 1876. With the arrival OF the
army during that same sumner and the
building of Fort Keogh on the banks OF
the Yellowstone river, the dispersal of
the Indians was accomplished and their
final surrender, band by band, within q
few years thereafter was accomplished.
A new era was begun. The military
outposts afforded protection. Villages
and cross trail postoffices were estab-
lished. With hope and the exercise OF
confidence. these early day pioneers
looked forward to the coming OF the rail-
road. 1t was held that not even an army
was as potent a c~ivilizer as the railroad

the science of oil refining, and are the
first results OF a discovery by scientists
of g process by which oil is completely
de-waked. De-waxed is q comparatively
new term in oil nomenclature and the
word means what 1t says. Wax is thor
oughly extracted from the oil, thereby
producing an oil which will pour freely
in zero and even sub-zero temperatures.
Another outstanding quai4ty Of these oils
is described by a well-known writer as
follows:
Freedom from Carbon
1T has long been believed that there
is a considerable relation between the
amount of wax in oil and the amount of
tarry or carbonaceous matter. The lat
ter, Of course, Is what makes the carbon
deposit in the engine. 1t has been
suspected by many that, If the wax could
be taken out more nearly completely.
the carbon residue test of the oil would
be improved, that is, that particular oil
would deposit less carbon in the automo-
bile engine during operation
The work of the scientists who pro-
duced these oils, has proved the truth
of this l~ong-standing belief.
The A-M-L-O Oil is an all-weather'
aero oil, and with the certain great ex-.
pansion of aircraft transportation In the
United States, this oil is coming face to
face with an almost unlimited demand
and will assert itself as the pioneer in q
field Of perfect aero-motor lubricating
oils.

Merger Forced
An element Of irony ii evident
In the present negotiations between

interests which have for years been
most active in bringing about a
merger have no part in the recent

1T il stated that the agitation OF
