Extension of Piping From
Gas Wells to Eastern
Points Planned.
Service In This Region Is
Expected as Piping
Moves Eastward.

Havre.-Iarge scale development
OF the gas fields OF northern Mon
tana is IN sight, according to A. H.
Perkins, well known oil and gas op-
orator Of this northern section, who
returned Sunday mornig from Min
neapolis with the news that a big
natural gas development program
was under way in the section from
Chester to Glasgow As vice presi-
dent Of the Jones Oil Co., Mr. Per-
kins closed deal in Minneapolis the
past week, according to the terms Of
which the Montana Dakota Power
Co, one of the big utility companies
in this state, will put in gas line
this coming year along the main line
of the Great Northern from Chester
TO Glasgow, with ultimate plans to
carry it still further east.
The Jones Oil Co., with which Mr..
Perkins is associated in an active
way, will as soon as the weather
permits, start an active develop
ment campaign in several fields in
the territory from Kremlin east.
They will drill the necessary gas
wells to supply the Montana Dakota
people with gas for the new line.
While do definite statement has been
made, it is reported here that the
Jones company will handle the pro-
ducing end of the business for the
big company after the project is
completed.
The supposition here is that the
projected gas line is to be extended
ultimately to conect with the main
gas line the Montana-D Dakota people
now have from the Baker field in
southern Montana to the Black Hills.
The extension of that line from Beach
to Fargo, North Dakota, is believed
to be on the program for this year,
with an ultimate extension possible
to Minneapolis, Duluth and the Iron
Range, territory containing around
two million people.
The survey of the Chester Glas-
gov line will start as soon as the
weather permits. The company will
ask for franchises in each Of the
towns along the railroad, not now
served by gas company. Havre and
Chinook are served with local COM
panies and the Montana Dakota COM

to of the Master BARRIERS organiza-
ton, unit of which, bearing the

bers were initiated into the organi-
zation.

lheir wives or their friends. This
meeting was of an informal nature
and was followed by a session of
talks and reports of committees, with
Mr. Moe presiding as toastmaster.
The president outlined in an interest
ing way the aims and purposes of
The organization, punctuating his
valk with an apt story treating of a
stage driver who was very clever
With the use Of his whip. With the
stroke Of the lash, Mr.. Moe related,
che driver was able to snap off the
head of q gopher or rattle snake, but
he declined to test his skill on hor
nets nest, because, as he stated, they
were "organized."
The remainder Of the evening was
taken up with dancing.
The chief purpose of the meeting
at this time, it is explained, was to
bring the interests Of the barber pro-
fession more definitely before the
coming session OF the legislature.

tablish a state examining board, thus
raising the standards of the profes-
sion.

NATURAL GAS PROJECT NOW
LAUNCHED, MEANS MUCH HERE

these two tows to run thef n ain line
through the towns. applications for
franchises have been made in some
of the other towns and permission
70 lay mains through he town mas
been requested here.
The gas is to be secured from
northern Montana fields. There are
several proven structures in this
section as far as gas supplies are
concerned such as the Kremlin,
Browns Coulee Cherry Ridge,
Bowes, and Bowodin fields. If the
development of the program of the
utility company in eastern towns
should make larger supply neces-
saly there are proven wells with a
heavy gas flow in the Sweet Grass
hills Only forty to fifty miles furth-
er, while across the line in Canada is
the big Medicine Hat field.
The Montana-Dakota Power COM
pany is closely associated with the
Minnesota Northern Power Co., and
the Black Hills Utilities company
1t has an extensive system now in
eastern Montana and western Da-
kota Of electric power and gas lines
The company operates from the
Baker field and the past year COM
pleted a 430 mile gas line from the
Baker field to the Black Hills, serv-
ing large number of communities
A survey is starting this coming
year from Beach, North Dakota, for
a gas line to Fargo ,and franchises
are to be sought in the many towns
along that route.
r. M. Heskett of Minneapolis is
vice president and active head of the
concern. They have big concern,
well financed and with a good repu-
tation for service in the sections Of
the state in which they are operat-
ing. Their electric power lines reach
from Willston, North Dakota, down
to Miles City, and extend into the
northeastern part Of this state
No definite program has been an
nounced for the extent of the con-
struction in 1929 but it is believed
that the gas mains will be installed
from Chester to Glasgow by year
from now.
The Jones Oil Co., of which Mr.
Perkins is vice president, has been
drilling for the Montana Dakota
people in the Baker field. putting
down ten gas wells for them there
this past summer. They will handle
the drilling in the fields along the
Great Northern.
Mr. Perkins stated that he believed

Congregationalists
To Enlarge Church
Action Expected In Near Fu-
ture On Enlargement of
Present Edifice.

Among the many noteworthy i'm
provements in prospect for Plenty
wood the coming year is the propos-
al to enlarge the Congregational
church, the plans of which will be
taken under consideration by the CON
gregation at the annual meeting this
week.
The new arrangement not only in
cludes the enlargement of the
church, but also the provision of one
or two new rooms and other innova-
tons to assist in taking care of the
church's numerous activities.
According to the blueprints the
dimensions of the building will be
changed from the present 28x34 feet
to 34x56 feet. The change will be
made by cutting the building in two,
moving the portion of the building
at the rear Of the lot farther back
and connecting up the intervening
space.
The change will call for rear
rangement Of pews and a general
transformation of the church inter
ior. The building will also be raised
SO as to provide full basement. The
completion Of the basement, however,
is not included in the present plans
4 new entrance and steeple would be
built and along side of it room
to serve as a study and conference
room.
Although no official action has
been taken concerning the project,
the need of the improvement is badly
felt and definite action in its favor
is badly felt.
The cost of these new improve
ments, it is estimated, would be about
50 600

OUTLOOK PIONEER
RESIDENT PASSES
Lars Fiske Succumbs to Pneu-
monia at Local Hos
pital Sunday.

Lars Fiske, long time resident of
the Outlook vicinity is dead, a vic
tim of pneumonia brought on by an
attack of influenza several weeks
ago, passing away at the local hos
pital Sunday morning.
Mr. Fiske was taken i'll with the
flu shortly before Christmas, had
recovered sufficiently to be up and
around again, and had come to Plen-
tywood to spend the holidays at the
home of his brother Pete. While up
town on a shopping expedition, he
became i'll again, his case becoming
SO serious that he was taken to the
hospital. where he died.
Funeral services were conducted
1T the Outlook Lutheran church,
Wednesday morning, and the body
laid to rest in the cemetery Of that
congregation.
Mr.. Fiske was one Of the pioneer
residents of the Outlook country,
having homesteaded his farm in 1907,
just two years after his arrival to
America from his native land, Nor
way His success in farming opera
tions has been better than the aver
age which, together with his interest
and work on behalf Of his commun-
ity has made him one of the most
substantial citizens Of the Outlook
vicinity and he will be greatly missed
He is survived by his brother
Pete, of Plentywood, and another
brother, Ole, residing in Norway.
He was forty-eight years old at the
time of his death.

Fire Truck is Added
To Dept. Equipment
Larger and Dependable Fire
Truck Replaces Balky
Flivver.

Plentywood's fire fighting equip
ment has been considerable improved
in the recent past by the addition of
fire truck to supplant the truck
formerly used which had become in
adequate to meet the emergencies.
The new truck is built upon Flint
chassis and is so constructed that it
can carry with ease a large share Of
the hose and chemical equipment
needed The truck carriet 500 feet
of inch and half hose, two foamite
extinguishers, axes and other Incl
dental paraphernela and also has
room to carry six men to the scene of
action.
The truck is heavy and will stand
the severest of tests over rough
roads and maintain good rate of
speed.
This Improvement has been sorely
needed for many months as the old
"fiver" truck that did service in the
past often times failed to start
when quick action was matter Of
serious consequence.
With this new addition to their
equipment the local department will
be in an infinitely better position to
cope with the fire hazards as they
arise.
In the past year, according to
Chief L. E. Helm, the department has
been called out on fourteen different
occasions to combat blazes. Eight Of
these fires were of a serious nature
and the others were minor fires that
were soon extinguished.

Locals Win From Grenora

The Plentywood Vagabonds proved
too much for the Grenora team in a
basket ball game held at the Farm

ening, the final score being "a to II.
The local lads started out with a
rush and had the visitors bewildered
from the start. Grenora's status
did not improve as the game pro-
gressed and in order to equalize the
contest two Of Plentywood's fastest
players withdrew from the game III
favor Of substitutes.
The showing made by the locals
was a vast Improvement over their
previous exhibitions and gives prom
ise of some fast games before the
