DRY CREEK WELLS
DEEPEST PRODUCER
IN mont ANA FIELDS
Area is compared to famous Turn
err Valley. Product equal to Cat
Creek crude.


With growing evidence that the
Ohio Oil company's well on the
new Dry Creek field is even a
greater producer than earlier es-
Inmates, lease men of both STAN
dard and Independent oil compan-
les are leasing up the district for
ten miles each way from the new
gusher.
The current issue of the Mont
ana Oil Journal devotes a stream
er headline to the Dry Creek well
reading Lease Rush Under Way
at Red Lodge" The story states
that "scouts reporting to the Mon
tana Oil Journal say that the Ohio
well will certainly make 5000 per
day. With rock pressure of 200
pounds, the well is an impressive
spectacle when it is opened up. It
roars like hurricane that can be
heard for a great distance and the
earth vibrates around the well,
like an earthquake, as the press
ure is released.
"The great pressure results from
the extreme depth, this well pro-
ducing from the Dakota sand At
5,510 feet. It is reported as being
the deepest producing well IN Mon
tana and the first commercial well
with an initial of over 500 barrels
from q greater depth than 1900
feet" The oil is equal to the Cat
Creek crude in quality, refiners say
and is better refining stock. The
Montana Oil Journals sample is
So gravity and this is believed to
be the average gravity of the OIL.
The we'll is making oil from two
sands which are separated by a
thin shale streak. Ohio has sev-
eral other wells that must be drill
ed on Dry Greek, under existing
lease contracts.
In referring to sharp dip folds
the Montana Oil Journal compares
the Dry Creek field to the famous
Turner Valley field in northern
Montana.

1877. The records show the recep-
ton of 10 persons, all men who
had been assembled at Deer Lodge
by overland" from the private
hospitals of the territory. The last
survivor of these IS died in July,
1928. He had been an inmate for
AZ years-exclusive of several alb
sences on parole.
The founders of the institution,
which was under contract to the
State on a par diem basis, were
Doctors Mitchell and Mussigbrod.
They retained control of the asy-
lum until December 1912. At that
date the Hospital had population
of 854 of which 625 were males
and 22S were females.
The present population is 1890.
Admissions have increased to AZ
per month, or approximately $50 a
year. The normal capacity of the
institution is 1,427. There are al
ready 11S more patients than the
institution is intended to accomo-
date.
While the State census of Gust
odial institutions shows that all
of them are over-crowded, the Wa
rm Springs Hospital is rated as
one of the worst of its depart
ments. Old men should not be COM
PEELED to climb several flights of
stairs to their wards. The receiv-
ing Hospital should be on one
floor instead of being on several.
Other changes, it is asserted by
the management, are badly needed.

RANKIN And BROWN
BEGIN CAMPAIGN
IN GALEN BEHALF


Helena, Oct. 1.-(Special)- Po-
pularity of the candidacy of Al
bert J. Galen for the United States
senate is attaining such heights
throughout the state as to attract
to his standard, speakers who are
outstanding in their professions,
leaders of organizations and other
honored citizens of the Treasure
state taking a personal interest
! in his campaign. Judge E. K. CHI
eadle of LeWistown, pioneer jurist
and friend of Albert J. Galen has
been in the field with the state
candidates for two weeks. Mark
Fitzgerald and Scott Leavitt,
candidates for congress have like
wise given him valuable assistance.
Two of the latest speakers who
have volunteered their time and
energy to cover large portion Of
the territory in behalf of Judge
Galen are Attorney John G. Brown
and U. S. District Attorney Well
ington D. Rankin, both of Helena.
81 have never felt more enthu-
siastic in an election and | am GER
tain that the entire state Repub-
lican ticket will be elected" said
John G. Brown, one of Montana's
leading lawyers, in announcig his
Z, intention of taking the stump for
Judge Galen. Party solidity, state
and national issues and the fact
that the future welfare of Montana
under the program as outlined by
President Hoover are at stake
have caused me to make the deci-
sion to support Judge Galen with
every resource at my command. 1t
is a sincere pleasure to present the
platform and precepts of such an
outstanding native son of Mont
ana as Albert Galen."
| When Wellington d. Rankin
takes the stump for Judge Galen
| the coincidence will exist of one
native son sponsoring the cause Of
another.
81 am mighty glad to know that
you have assigned me to an itin-
erary of speech making for it will
be pleasure to me to get out and
do whatever | can in my humble
way for the election of the entire
Republican ticket" said Mr.. Ran
kin today.
"The impression is growing fast
all over Montana of the dire need
of representation at Washington
that will be in harmony with adj
ministration. Scott Leavitt, as the
lone congressman from this state,
is doing wonderful work, and his
efforts have been productive Of
the most satisfactory results. If
Judge Galen is elected senator
there is no question but what we
will have closer cooperation, which
will rebound to the benefit Of the
state as whole. Albert j. Galen
is a native son of Montana, and
am one myself, and it strikes me
that it would be fitting recogni-
ton of Montana pioneer voters to
elect him. We recall the good work
of the late and lamented Thomas
H. Carter, Joseph M. Dixon and
Charles N. Pray, who devoted
practically all their time and at
tention to the welfare of Montana.

Angels That W atch Us
Oakland's Fine Idea

Roy Ammel, red-haired young
man from North Dakota, who did
some air fighting in the war, and
enjoyed it, has invested his $4,000,
Including his last dollar, in a fast
Lockheed Explorer plane, and plans
to fly by himself to Paris.
He calls the trip that he plans
Doing a Lindbergh," and hopes to
cover the distance, 3,610 miles, in
about twenty-five hours, beating
Lindbergh by nearly eight hours.
If he does that, Lindbergh will
be well pleased. The engine de-
cides the speed, and Lindbergh, like
everybody else, knows that the trip
will be made eventually in ten
hours and less.

TO PRESERVE CHILDREN
prepared under the direction Of
the Executive Committee, Public
: Health League of Washington.)

Preserves of Strawberries, cherries
and other fruits are now command
ing the attention of many mothers,
but let us call attention to an excellent
recipe as to how to preserve children,
suggests the Public Health League. OF
unknown origin, the formula sounds
attractive and is as follows:
Take two or more children from
eighteen months up. If they are bright
eyed, rosy-cheeked youngsters, so much
the better.
Tuck them into bed early, and leave
for twelve hours quiet, restful sleep.
Windows wide open.
In the morning dress them lightly
and set at a table in the brightest
cheeriest corner of the breakfast room.
To each child, add the following: one
small cup of orange juice; one Stean-
ing dish OF delicious nut-brown whole
wheat" cereal, several slices of crisp
wholewheat toast, one glass OF milk.
Remove the children to grassy lot.
Add a kite, some toys and mix
thoroughly.
Cover all over with blue sky and
leave in the sun until brown. Unlike
fruit preserve recipes, this one can be
used with children that are spoiled, as
they will improve in the process
