was an exception to this rule during

BIG GUSHER AT
FRANNIE MAY
BLOW IN TODAY
EXCITEMENT HIGH IN LITTLE
BORDER TOWN WHERE WELL
GIVES INDICATIONS OF BEING
BIGGEST IN DISTRICT.

Excitement is running at higl
pitch in the little oil town Of Frannie
Wyoming, just over the Montana
Wyoming boundary line, where the
Midwest Refining company is about
to usher what appears from all indi-
cations to be one of the largest gush-
er oil wells ever brought in in that
district. In all probability the we'll
will be brought in today.
The well is located in the northwest
quarter section 25, twp So N SO w on
government land and is known as
No. 36 Rosenburg.
The well was cemented some time
ago, preparatory to drilling in, and
resumption of drilling operations oil
indications soon began to show. When
within Is feet of the bottom the enor-
nous pressure in the hole blew plug
cement, tools and all, 178 feet up in
to the hole. Oil began to seep in
large quantities between the cement
plug and the walls Of the hole. Der
rick and the entire surroundings are
smeared with it.
Two check valves are now on the
grounds and all necessary prepara-
tions are being made for coping with
the situation as soon as it is deemed
advisable to bring the well in.

In the talks which followed, details
of Mr.. lnabnit's trips into the Bear

Said one of the speakers: Although
Mr.. lnabnit spent only two or three
weeks each year in the mountains, he
lived the trips through the year, either
IN prospect or retrospect. His heart
was ever in the Beartooth mountains.
Nor was it alone for pleasure that he
made these trips but that others
might profit by the beauties of nature
that he uncovered. He spent many
hours IN his workshop, building the
relief map of this region. 1t was

continued to add to the dryness in
agricultural counties, according to the

Harvest is preceding with a rush.
Harvest of winter wheat is practical

grains are more than half harvested
In Chouteau county all grain harvest
Will be completed, in Daniels and
stIllater 75 percent, in pondera. and
Sheridan so per cent, while in Rose
bud harvest is rearing close. Half
the wheat in Philips county has al
ready been hauled to the elevators.
Generally the grain is lighter in
weight and color and heavier in dock
age than is usual for Montana.
Flax harvest also is in progress
with much dockage.
Most of the second cutting of hay
