word that the Masons, in convention

for mill levy to be voted this fall
by the people of Montana for the sup
port of the Montana Greater Univer-

excellent sites for rearing ponds and
that several would be built in size of
about 60x150 to ITO feet
Mr.. Frolicher joined freely in all

chief reason for his visit was to learn
the sentiment of the local club re-
garding an increase in the cost CT the
hunting and fishing license. The work

said, that more income is badly
needed 1t is proposed to raise the IL
cense from $500 to $500. Frolicher
cited several states in the West that
have much larger license fees, some of
them as high as $500 and $500 The
Libby club, at previous meeting, had
already gone on record in favor OF the
increase.
Mr.. Frolicher called attention to the
need of law requiring fish screens
on all irrigation canals He said irriga-
ton bitches take fully 80 per cent Of
the fry planted in streams from which
bitches are taking out, the young fry
being carried onto the land and dying
there. He told of one farmer who OBJ
jected strenuously to the placing Of a
screen in his ditch because the fish
coming onto his land each year pro-
vided fertilizer worth considerable
money to him, he said.

Game Problems and
Laws Discussed

A few enthusiastic sportsmen of
the Libby Rod and Gun club gathered
Thursday evening to discuss game
matters and to hear what John Fro
icher, educational secretary of the
state fish and game commission, had
to say. President Dexter Of the club
presided
The club is concerned over the
menace to wild life by sheep grazing
in the forests. This was discussed at
length, F. J.. Jefferson of Libby and
W. M. Nagel Of kalispell supervisors
respectively Of the Kootenai and Black
feet national forests, joining in the dis
cussion. MIR. jefferson offered to rec
ommend that sheep be kept out of the
territory on the north of the Kootenai
river from Bristol creek to Quartz
creek and on the south side of the river
from the East Fisher west TO the top
Of the Cabinet range Thus embraces
practically all of the deer and elk
country in this vicinity, and was
thought very reasonable offer. The
club adopted motion by E. M Boyes
and E. j. Driear concurring in Mr..
Jefferson's suggestion and authorizing
the taking up of the matter with other
forest officials.
A. M. Hoffman suggested that the
club place before the A. c. M. company
the objections to sheep grazing in the
forests on their private holdings and
this will be done. Mr.. Nagel said only
about five per cent of the available
range is being used by sheep and be-
heved there was no present menace to
wild life.
Upon motion by Hoffman the club
went on record in favor of a closed
season on upland game birds. It is said
the hatch this year is very light.
Due to the dry year streams are run
ming very low, endangering fish life.
The club discussed at length the clos
ing OF streams in the county. Upon
motion by E. M. Boyes and E. w. Oy-
lear the club will recommend to the
state fish and game commission that
all streams in the county be closed to
fishing. effective August Is, except the
Kootenai river, the Yak river from
the upper ford to the Kootenai, the
Fisher river from the junction Of the
Pleasant Valley Fisher and West
Fisher to the Kootenai river. All
lakes to remain open. Secretary
Kedzie was instructed to write
sportsmen at Troy and Eureka for
their advise in the matter and asking
their wishes
Some discussion was had regarding
a closed season on bear, many favoring
it, others Directing. Ira Tester thought
1t would be wise to have a closed sea-
son consisting Of the month of May and
from October Is to November Is.

Receipts From

Show Gam
Kootenai Moves Into Third
Place with Earnings
of $48,237.
NET RECEIPTS FOR
FISCAL YEAR, $718,816

Net receipts from the national for
estS Of the Northern Region for the fis-
cal year ending June 80, amounted to
$718,816, which is an increase Of nearly
$4,000 over the preceding year md
exceeds the receipts of all previous
years except 1926, according to O. NJ
Void, regional fiscal agent Of the for
est service at Missoula.
The seven national forests Of north
ern Idaho again led as revenue pro-
ducers, mainly through the large vol
ume Of timber sales in that part of the
region, showing total net receipts Of
$409, 754, or more than half the amount
from the "A national forests Of the ne
gion and a substantial increase over
previous years.
The Occur d'Alene national forest
yielded $246, 270, or more than a third
of the total for the entire Region, the
funds of this forest being derived =
in previous years almost entirely from
timber sales.
The Kaniksu forest; partly in Idaho
and partly in Washington, was second
with receipts of $114,027, while the
Kootenai forest stands third and at the
head of the Montana forests with $48,-
237 to its credit. The Kootenai this
year supplants the Madison as the
largest revenue producer among the
Montana forests, the latter dropping to
$4O,349 and to fourth place among the
forests of the region.
Of the total net receipts from all the
"a forests, timber sales produced $l85, :
243; grazing of livestock $190, o37;
special uses, including summer homes,
resorts, pastures, ETC., $10,826; and
water power $12606 The remainder
was derived from timber settlement in
connection with various authorized
uses Of the forests and from trespass Of
all kinds.
Under the law Is per cent Of the
receipts are returned 10 the states t.
b appsrtionad to the counties in which
the forests are situated and used foz
roads and schools. For Montana this
will amount to about $1,000 and in
Idaho to nearly 100000 plus a share
of the receipts from the southern Idaho
forests situated in the Intermountain
Region

B1ackfeet Lands
Open to Oil Leasing

HELENA. -(U.P)-- Land in the
Blackfeet reservation will be open for
leasing for oil and gas exploration and
development, according to word re-
ceived here last week.
In letter to Senator Thomas j.
Walsh, Secretary Wilbur announced
the land would be open to leasing upon
satisfactory application. The letter was
in reply to the Montana senator's re-
quest
In view of all the circumstances,
the interior secretary wrote, I'VE rec
ommend that, on satisfactory appli-
cation, lands of the Blackiect Indian
reservation in Montana be leased for
oil and gas at rental of 81 per acre,
a royalty of 1871 per cent of the amount
of the value Of the oil or gas produced,
and bonus to be determined by bid
ding at public auction or under seal
Whereas in Wyoming far more gas
oline is manufactured from Wyoming
oil than can be used in that state or
even in the Rocky Mountain region, in
Montana gasoline from Montana oil
supplies considerably less than half of
the needs of the state. Montana, there
fore, constitutes a market for, rather
than source of petroleum products,
Moreover, the production of oil in
Montana has decreased from about
seven and one-half million barrels in
1925 to slightly less than 1900, 900 bar
rels in 1929. As a result of these sew
erval conditions the price obtainable
for crude oil produced in Montana
fields is apparently greater, and in the
Kelvin Sunburst field which is nearest
to the Blackfeet reservation is 50 per
cent greater that the market price for
oil of the same gravity produced in
Salt Creek field, Wyoming.
while therefore, a general condition
of overproduction prevails in the Rocky
Mountains region as a whole by rea-
son of surplus in Wyoming the price
structure for crude oil in Montana is
that of region in which the demand
Is commensurate with the supply. II
appears therefore that the present Is
reasonably favorable time 70 obtain
revenue for the Blackfeet Indians by
leasing the reservation lands that are
prospectively valuable for oil and sas. :
