TAXPAYERS VOTE TO
ENTER CONTRACT TO
buy DIESEL ENGINE
Carries More Than Two to
One in Favor of Municipal
Light Plant

The Plentywood taxpayers voted
last Saturday to enter into a contract
for the purchase of a Diesel engine
for generating electrical energy for
light, heat and power, with a major
ity of two to one in its favor.
The same ratio prevailed for the
City to install its own electric light
system.
Owing to this latter vote it will be
impossible for the Montana-Dakota
Power Company to give us q lower
rate for light, power and heat, and
we cannot accept same wen tho it
was offered to us for one cent a
XVIII.
If the vote and the election is not
invalidated we will not be permitted
to lower the present prevailing rates
for at least five years, according to
the contract with the Fairbanks
Morse Company.
The election was a very quiet af-
fair, and all through the campaign
the Power Company carried on in the
most gentlemanly without
any slurs at any one.
We understand there are many ac-
tions pending and will shortly be fill
ed, to test out the validity of the
election as we'll as the manner of
voting, and also the validity of the
contract between the Plentywood city
council and the Fairbanks-Morse
Company.
1t is also reported that the Monta-
na-Dakota Power Company will not
be alone in its fight against the at
tempted encroachment Of the Fair
banks Morse Company into territory
all ready controlled by hi-line ener-
gy, as the lnsul and Byllesby crowd
is taking a hand in the proceedings
financially. This will mean that most
Of the major power companies in the
United States will watch the out
come here, and we will be the foot
ball.

Wheat Crop
In NOrfhUeSt
BelOU 1929

St. Paul, Jul REPRODUCTION Of
wheat in the Northwest now promises
to be a few million bushels below the
disappointing crop of 1929, with a
total yield Of durum and spring
wheat Of approximately 10000; 900
bushels compared with III 900. 900 a
year ago, the Farmers Union Termi-
nal Association says in its weekly re-
port.
"Heat and drouth since July l has
reduced the prospective yield by
about 2O,0OO,00O bushels and assist
ed the Federal Farm Board and the
Farmers National Grain Corporation
in it's program of reduction of over
production" the reports says. "The
spring wheat and durum acreage Of
the four Northwest states was re-
duced by about 5000 acres, but
this was not nearly SO affective in
reducing estimates of production as
has the excessive heat Of July.
"The government estimate of
spring and durum wheat production
for 1880 for North Dakota was no.
DOC, 900; Montana, almost 10000, 900
bushels; South Dakota, 28,0O0,000 bu-
shells, and Minnesota 15,239,000 bu-
shells. Deterioration this month has
been severe and estimating that the
loss since July / has been 100000
bushels in North Dakota, $500, 900
bushels in Montana and 6,000,O 900 in
| South Dakota, the prospect is for a
smaller yield than in 1929. This es-
Inmates that there has been no loss
in the Minnesota wheat crop this
month.

|SHEYENNE OIL ( GAS
COMPANY TO RESUME
AT ARCHER
Re Capitalization Has Been
Accomplished With Pro-
mise of Early Action

Reliable word has been received by
The Herald that the Sheyenne Oil
& Gas Company have made arrange
ments for the completion of the test
well for oil and gas at Archer. The
work will m in the very near
future according to our information
and a shipment of ten inch casing
will arrive shortly.
The well is now shut down at
1882 feet to which depth the casing
is set. A Waterman has remained
there all the time since it was shut
in, and everything is in first class
condition, so that as soon as the cas-
ing is delivered at the well site, and
with a PLENTIFUL supply of coal now
on hand it will only be a matter Of
hours thereafter before they will be
running the new string Of casing.
We are mighty glad that they will
be able to resume drilling and it will
be watched with keen interest by all
the people in this territory who are
hopeful that gas will be found in
Commercial quantities before the wei
is down to the two thousand foot lev
ell. 1t is therefore highly possible
that before snow flies this late fall
We may have gas piped into Plenty
wood to be utilized for both heat and
light,

Conoc0Agdin
PROBES It's
Superiority

j. A. Kjelstrup, district represen-
tative for the Conioco line of motor
oils and gasoline has more than or
binary faith in the line he sells. Jack
is 2 booster all the time but Tuesda,
this boosting sounded NOR e like
boasting, when he told a bunch of hts
friends here in Plentywood that +e
could Grain out all of the motor nj
from Ms crank case and run the ear
more than five miles without any oil
and without damaging his car. He
was then informed that he could do
nothing of the kind and he replied
by saying "Bet you ten bucks. and
the bet was snapped up at once.
His Chevrolet sedan in which he
was using Conoco Germ PROGRESSED
Motor Oil was then drained of every
drop of the motor oil and the plug re-
moved 50 that any stray drop would
be whipped out of it while driving,
and Jack started out with Stanley
Palubicki, frankie Fishbeck and An
dy Anderson, Rumley salesman, fol-
lowing him in other cars to see that
he lost his bet.
Mr.. Kjelstrup drove his car not
only five miles but far more than that
as he went to Antelope and back to
Plentyw0Od, a total distance of 1876
miles without any damage to the car
and without heating it. When he got
back to Plentywood the car was
thoroughly examined by most every
auto mechanic here and they all ag-
reed that no damage Of any kind
had been done and were all amazed
at this test.
Jack is $40 ahead and his friends
are all sold on Conoco Germ process
ed motor oil.
We have had the misfortune to
run out of motor oil on one long trip
and tried to coax our car along but
after driving for only three miles had
the usual hard luck of burning out
a connecting rod and the next day we
paid SIG for repairs. After this we
will use Conoco Germ Processed
motor oil and take no chances.

AMERICAN TOURISTS
SHOULD MAKE RIGHT
ENTRY into CANADA
Complaints Being Made OF
Carelessness of P~lentywood
Tourists

People going to Regina these days
before the Canadian Port Of Entry
is officially opened at Regway on the
boundary line north Of Raymond must
be careful about making proper en-
try. The full data concerning the port
as well as the mode of entry is CIV
en- in the following letter received
today by P. G. Neville, Secretary OF
the Plentywood Commercial Club.
Secretary Commercial Club,
Plentywood, Montana.
Dear Sir:
Some time ago we wrote you with
respect to a change to be made at
the now Customs Port of Sybouts in
Canada to a point on Highway No.
6 six miles west of Sybouts
Construction is now beginning at
the new port on Highway No. 6 to be
called Regway, being a contraction of
the phrase "Regina way"
Canadian Customs officials are de-
manding strict enforcement of the
Federal Act by which tourists or WIS.,
itors entering Canada must report at
a Customs Port.
1t will not be long before the new
port is open but until this time it is
imperative that American and Can
adam tourists report coming and 60
ing at Sybouts.
Word received his morning from
Customs officials is that some tour
ists fhom P~lentywood had passed
through without making the proper
entry. We are en%deavoring to use
our best influence to have this over
looked but would ask that everything
possible be done to have proper en-
try made until the port is ready on
Highway No. 6. This should not
be more than three or four weeks at
the latest when conditions will be
much better and the delay incident
to proper entry materially lessened.
With all kind regards and best
wishes.
Yours Very Truly,
c. H. PICKERING.
