OUR OIL FIELDS WILL
DOUBLE In NUMBER
ASSERTS AUTHORITY

Although there are at present u oil
fields in Montana, this number will be
doubled in the next five years, accord
ing to the prophecy Of Major Gren-
vile Howard, consulting geologist for
the Kevin- -Sunburst oil company, who
made the regular bi-monthly technical
letcure at the Montana School Of
Mines last night.
In spite Of the fact that Montana is
annually producing about 100000
barrels Of oil with a gross value OF
$9,OOO,OOO the natural gas values in
the state are infinitely more precious
and important to the state than the
oil, the speaker told his audience.
Discussing the oil and gas industry
and its future in Montana, Major
Howard pointed out that in the Kevin-
Sunburst field alone there is gas re-
serve estimated at 100000. 100000
cubic feet, sufacient to supply all the
industrial uses Of the seven largest
cities in the state for the next so
years.
Montana is rich in natural gas sup
ply and it represents a greater po-
tential value to the state that does the
oil industry, he said. Montana gas
will soon be used as far east as Fargo.
N. D., he said project may be fin
anced whereby it win be piped on to
St. Paul, according to Mr.. Howard
Although it would cost more than
100000 to run a pipeline to Butte
from the Kevin-Sunburst field, the
use Of natural gas here would pay for
he expenditure in a short time he
laid. Butte. Anaconda, Great Falls,
md Helena could use 100000 cubic
eet OF gas daily, representing a tre-
nendous saving in coal alone, the
peaker said
The Kevin-Sunburst field is at pres

'arrels daily. It is the second largest

The Kevin baseball team opened th.
local season Sunday by dropping I
game to the Great Falls Bootleggers
Although they lost, they showed thai
with a little more practice Kevin will
have a club capable of giving any Of
the teams in this section battle.
Marion Morrison was on the mound
for the "No-Jacks" and he gave. very
creditable performance He allowed
five hits and tanned seven men.
Three Of the hits were Of the scratch
variety, that a little faster fielding
would have turned into putouts
In the first inning the locals showed
a lack Of coordination in the infield
that allowed the "whiskey Runners"
three unearned runs. In the third
misjudged line drive allowed Pete.
Bross, Of the Falls team, to make the
circuit.

ANOTHER SCHOOL TERM OVER;
TEACHERS AND KIDS HAPPY

The ever vigilant truant officer laid
away his star and shingle yesterday
and for the next three months will
bask in the warm Montana sunshine,
gathering energy and strength with
which to renew his duties next fall
in other words, the Kevin school has
closed it's doors for the annual sum-
mer vacation and the children are
free to pursue the various outdoor
sports that appeal to their individual
taste and liking till next September.
The term that closed yesterday was
very successful, practically all the
students passing their tests and there
fore next fall will climb another rung
in the ladder Of knowledge in their
quest for mental equipment with which
to battle the world in the coming
years.
No doubt several OF the students,
especially those who were compelled
to attend high school in Sunburst,
making the round trip daily through
the changeable weather Of our oftimes
cold and severe northern climate, will
find the summer vacation welcome
interlude.
