TO TEST POPLAR
FIELD FOR GAS
JONES COMPANY HAS RIG
AT SITE JUST NORTH
OF TOWN

Poplar Standard-A drilling rig
reached Poplar yesterday WED
nesday) and was taken directly to
the Dwyer forty just north of
town where it will be set up this
week and drilling started at once
on a test of the Poplar dome for
gas in commercial qualities. Ac.
tual drilling is expected to be I'M
der way some time the first of the
coming week.
The rig was shipped here from
the Kelvin Sunburst field by the
Jones Oil Company of Shelby, as
per plans announced by John G.
Dwyer, president Of the Poplar
Commercial Club, last week. 1t
reached Poplar yesterday after
noon and was Immediately hauled
to the Dwyer land where the first
test for gas will be made.
This forty acres is about a half
a mile north of Kelsey's ice house,
on the east side of Poplar river
and formerly was leased by G. A.
Peelman for a truck farm. Mr..
Dwyer, who has owned the piece
for some years, advises that the
apex of the dome is considered to
run directly through it and that
biologists have long considered it
an ideal location for a gas test.
The drilling rig will be set up and
the test made practically in the
center Of the field, and back
against and just below the hill on
the east side, the position select
ed by the Jones Oil Company's
head geologist.
The head dritler who will have
charge Of work here is expected
to arrive at Poplar on No. 4 this
morning. Drilling will start as
soon as necessary building and
preparations can be accomplished,
probably early next week, and will
be pushed ahead as rapidly as
possible.
1t ordinarily takes from three
weeks to a month to drill to the
sands where the gas, if any, will
be found. Under particularly diff
cult conditions it might take a
longer time.
The gas sands are figured to be
from 1900 to 1000 feet below the
surface in this section, although it
is expected that the drill will be
put down at least $500 feet if
necessary to make a thorough
test.
If the first test should be I'M
successful, at least two more are
to be made to thoroughly test the
field. The D. j.. O'Connor farm
about 5 miles northeast is con-
sidered a desirable site and the
second hole would probably be
sunk there.
If a commercial quantity of gas
Is tapped, it would be piped into
and distributed for local
Use for this coming winter. Later,
t is planned, the surplus would be
sent into a huge pipeline to be
constructed from fields to the
vest and eastern markets.

tence. The six months were up in
September and he was serving
out the fine at the rate of $500 n
day. At that rate the inmates Of
the Jail were due to enjoy Hanks
cooking for another seven months.
Then came the fall term of feder-
al court at Great Falls. They had
three good reasons for wanting
Hank in Great Falls. They sent
word to Hanks bondsmen to pro-
duce him in court forthwith. Said
bondsmen approached the sheriff's
office and said, "How about it?
Judge Pray wants to see Hank"
Nothing doing" said the sheriff's
office, we've got him here. You
write to the federal court and tell
them that Hanks in Jail here.
They a have him for the spring
term If they want him." or words
to that effect.
Wednesday under-sheriff Coun-
Gil had to go to Brockton to inves-
tigate the case of the man u
over by a train. 1t was Judge
Paul's day to sit in law and mo-
ton session Of court, and a couple
of class A lawyers talked to the
Judge and told him how much
Hank was wanted in Great Falls.
When the undersheriff came home
he found his chef all dressed up
and waiting for the train.
So Hank went to federal court.
There were three counts against
him. On the first count he was
given a 90-day suspended sentence
and $50 fine. On the last two he
was given 60 days on each and q
fine totaling $500, the jail SEN
fences to run concurrently. He
told the court that he had already
been in jail seven months. If the
6O-day suspended sentence which
he has had hanging over him
since the term of court last Octo-
Der is added to the present SEN
tence, it will be a long, long time
before Hotel de Anderson gets
their chef back for the remainder
of his term here. Anyway it will
be considerably past the first OF
the year. And some are asking,
will he ever come back?"

FEDERAL FARM ACT
OBJECT OF ATTACK
Poultrymen's Association
Claims Heavy Losses Be-
cause of Board.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October IA resolution
calling for an organized attack upon
the Federal agricultural marketing act
was unanimously adopted yesterday by
the National Poultry, Butter and Egg
Association.
The resolution called for formation of
an Organization with prestige and
power enough to carry on q determined
fight" against the farm act and any
other radical legislation in general and
that affecting our own industry in par
ticular." Officers of the association
were instructed to proceed with AL
possible force and dispatch"
Speeches Are Critical.
Adoption of the resolution came as a
climax to several speeches in which the
marketing act and the program of the
Farm Board were severely criticized.
L. B. Kilbourne, president of the as
ISOLATION, declared that losses of egg
dealers this season have already aggre-
gated something over $30,000,000, due
to disturbing influences in the poultry
industry, which he blamed on the Farm
Board program.
ST speak with certain knowledge"
said Kilbourne, that in the egg and
poultry industry our program of new
construction and the investment of
money in physical equipment have
been held up and are, to considerable
extent, in allegiance right now, due to
the fact that statements made public
by the Farm Board indicates a policy
toward farm marketing industries tend
ing to introduce doubt into the picture
and to slow down our program OF In
veStment."
Farm Board Scored.
James E. Boyle, professor Of rural
economy, Cornell University, told the
association that the Farm Board is the
"biggest single element of uncertainty
In our agricultural situation" He de-
clared that the board by entering the
wheat and cotton markets with un-
limited public money thereby drove out
of the market nearly all speculative in
vestment and left these markets weak. "
1.-The board has accumulated huge
carryover of wheat and cotton he said.
ST feel certain that by these two poll
cies the Farm Board has depressed
wheat prices at least 20 cents bushel
and cotton at least cents a pound"

DEMOCRATS DELAY
Declares Slow Economic Re-

Their one desire was to prevent the
passage Of the tariff bill until the last
