OF guests, Coach Bolton and his men
and Hartwig and his squad being seat
ed opposite each other at the speakers
table.
DR.. L. II. Tooley proved versatile
and witty toastmaster, and introduced
the various numbers on the program
in an unusually clever manner. 1t is
occasionally that one finds such a
masterful and adaptable person to act
III such a capacity. We take off our
hat to DR.. Tooley, may he be invited
to grace the head of many a banquet
table in the future.
The first number on the program,
following the cousse banquet, was
Mrs. Marie Braida who sang "Sonny
Boy in her usual charming and grac-
ious manner. This was followed bv
the first speech of the evening, by
James Baxter, Jr., who had as his
subject "The Kind of Dad | Would
Like TO Have" And James not only
made a wonderful address but empha-
sized his closing remarks by slappinp
his sire on the back and modestly ad-
that he was satisfied with
the father he had drawn.
"A Fathers Duty to His Son." was
the subject assigned to C. G. Rowan,

NEW OIL COMPANY
ENTERING DRY CREEK

The News had several oat.of-t -toun
requests for extra copies Of last
weeks issue, these parties being IN
terested IN the story on the Drv
Creek well appearing on the front
page of last weeks paper. Among
them came one from an oil man who
is especially well versed in oil strue-
lures in northern Wyoming and south
ern Montana, and who seems especial
y interested in Dry Creek.
This gentleman stated that deal
is now being worked out whereby a
well financed and thoroughly respon-
sible company is acquiring acreage
in the Dry Creek area, and expects
to start drilling program carly in
the spring, as soon as geologists can
go over the ground and pick out the
most likely drilling sites.
It is understood that this company
IS acquiring land in both upper and
lower Dry Creek. Rumors to this eff
feet have been current since oil was
first discoverd in the Ohio well, and
now it seems that these rumors are
about to be substantiated. Run1or has
1t that the acreage in question lies
Just east of the Ohio discovery we'll
where a considerable acreage has
been bought at fancy figure and
also large block of acreage in Gold
en- Dome or lower Dry Creek some
where in the vicinity of the shupack.

ranches.
The entrance Of second substan-
tial company into the Dry Creek oil
field Is especially beneficial at this
time to property holders and royalty
owners in that it is bound to hasten
development to have competition in
the field, and from the way things
are going at the present time it looks
like Dry Greek would have a good
development program on for next
summer.
At the Ohio discovery well prepar-
ations are going ahead to run the six
inch casing. A whip socket is being
used with the cable outfit to get the
hole IN such shape that the casing
will go by the place where the broken
pieces Of bits lie in the wall. AS
soon as the casing is well by this OBJ
'tructlon, the casing will probably be
anded and cemented SO that the oil
'and can be penetrated and the oil
brought to the surface for marketing
without interference from the great
low OF gas encountered about 200
'eet above the top of the oil sand. If
very thing goes according to sched
lie it will not be long now until a
est will be made to determine the
lctual production of this sand.
The crews constructing the tele-
hone and pipe lines are having a
retty difficult time of it on account
t the snow and the bad condition of
he roads. 1t is said that five miles
t pipe have been laid on the ground
a the construction of the pipe line.
everal deals for Dry Creek royalty
ave been pulled off this week and it
'oks like the purchase of Dry Creek
Qualities has been placed on much
'ss speculative basis than formerly.

CARBON SECOND IN
DISTRICT TOURNEY

Carbon copped second place honors
at the district tournment which was
held in Billings when she was defeat
ed by Billings by a score of 28-17
Carbon won its way to the final round
of the contest by defeating Bearcreek
29-2s; ardin 27-16, and Belfry 26-l8-
Garbon's would-be green, immature
team upset the dope of the tourney
and won the praise of all Red Lodge
when she won the right to play IN the
finals and also to compete in the state
tourney. A large delegation from Red
Lodge, including the Legion drum
corps and string orchestra, furnished
much excitement in Billings.
Carbon put up stiff battle against
Billings, which won them much COM
mendation, both at home and abroad
Hannula was highpoint man for Car
bon, with points, while Fox was
highpoint man for Billings, with 10
points. Most Of Carbon's points were
made on long shots. The first quarter
ended l1-6; half 15-1S; third quarter
26-16 in favor of Billings who lead
throughout the game. The final score
was 28-17.
In the game with Bearcreek, which
was an exciting battle from beginning
to end, the lead see-sawed back and
forth until the very end, when Red
Lodge. three minutes before the final
whistle, copped five-point lead which
won the game. Bearcreek put up a
good fight and is worthy of much
praise.
Gerondale was highpoint man for
Carbon with 10 points and just little
behind Kastelitz, who had II to his
credit. The first quarter ended with
the teams Tall. The half 15-14 in IA
vor of Bearcreek and the third quar-
ter 1920, also in favor of the Bear
cats. The last period found many ex-
citing incidents which kept the gym
in a bedlam. Kastelitz had an oppor
tunity to tie the score, but failed, |
which made the final count 1928 in |
favor of Carbon and gave the Blue and +
Gold boys right to play Billings for
the championship.
Carbon also chalked up two good
wins over Hardin and Belfry. Carbon
lead all through the game and Hannu
la was highpoint man with Is points.
In the Belfry game, which proved
tough battle, the lead see-sawed back
and forth, but Carbon came out on top
by comfortable margin, the final
score being 26-18. Gerondale was the
highpoint man for the locals with 7
points, followed by Martin and Murdo,
who had six each.
All said, this tournament was very
successful for Carbon, as also was her
seasons playing. She registered SO
points to her opponents 80 in the tour
nament, and 375 to her opponents 3S3
in the other games. This made Car
bon a total of 474 and her opponents
ATS.
Red Lodge NOW goes to the state
tourney, which is to be held in Boze- :
man March 7, 8 and 9. Her blanket S
for winning second place was award
ed Immediately after the champion
ship game. Third place honors went
10 Big Timber and fourth to Bear |
creek. Carbon was hot and this proves
what she can do when she makes
'whoopee." Is for Carbon.

UNUSUAL STEPS
 TAKEN BY 4. RY.
 FUR PROGRESS
SPECIAL EFFORT BEING MADE TO ATTRACT VACATIONISTS
 IJ AL 9i&A

WASHINGTON, June 19, P)-Al- aSkan business conditions after Sev- eral years of semi-depression are beginning to show rcovry and the federal government, as owners of the principal railroad and most of the land in the Territory, is taking unusual steps to forward the pro- greSS of the Alaska Railroad this year, not only actively advertising for tourist trade but has established an immigration service to encour- age some agricultural settlement.
 It is the hope to carry between 1000 and 10000 tourists over the line this season, said G. c. Dickens, general freight and passenger agent.
 The government is making spec ial efforts to draw attention to gov .ernment employees to the vacation possibilities in Alaska and are op- .erating some special expeditions. All expenses of transportation from eastern states to Alaska and over the Alaska Railroad with 14 days on the steamers, cost only about S549 and this trip is proving very attractive, Dickens said.
 The stop at the government hotel, halfway between Seward and Fairbanks, breaks the journey nice ly making up for Ylte lack of sleep ierS on the Alaskan road.
 Business progress has been good lately in the Territory but the rail- road hasn't yet met operating ex- EpenSes but the last reported deficit was .$840,0OO compared to $9OO,OOO in the previous report.
