Fifteen public schools of Car
bon county have been granted ex-

ty, made a survey of the districts
last month, filing a report on each

BEARTOOTH WELL MAINTAINS FLOW OF
OIL AND GAS; CHAPMAN IS EXPECTED

After its arrival Sunday with
a gush of at least 1000 barrels a
day, the Beartooth well of the
Carbon oil and gas company on the
Dry Creek structure has been MAIN
tanning a steady flow, say observ-
ers of its action. Meanwhile, op-
orators in the field are watching
the Chapman well, expected to be
the next producer.
The green oil spout has been
throttled down since Sunday, but
has been flowing from $500 to
5000 barrels of oil day. Gas has
been flowing at the rate of 10 mil
lion feet a day.
The Beartooth well was spudded
in early last spring, and work has
been steady until it was brought
in. The company has had very
good luck in drilling operations,
never having had to fish out any
tools or cement off undesirable wa
ter flows. The Beartooth is the
fifth producer to be drilled in on
the Dry Greek structure. and is
the first all-oil-well on the field.
The Ohio N. P. No. l produces gas;
Ohio N. P. No. 2 gas and oil; Sou
ders No. l gas and oil, and the
Margaret Souders No. | gas.
The Beartooth rig will be moved
to the McMinn permit, one-fourth
of mile south of the present well,
and drilling operations will start
as soon as possible. The Ohio Oil
company is moving rig on the
Margaret McCauley permit imme-
diately and will drill an offset 200
feet from the Armstrong line or ap-
proximately 400 feet from the new
well. Ohio-Chapman No. cement
ed off a water sand last week, and
expects to bring in the well some
time this week in the Dakota sands.
1t has been reported that the
Ohio company will bring two more
rotary outfits into the field, MAX
ing a total of four rotary rigs to
be operated there.

Tentative apportionment of the
state school equalization fund has
been made for Carbon county. A
statement was received this week
at the office of the county super
intendent, on which were listed
those school districts most likely
to receive aid from the equaliza-
tion fund, and the probable amount
to be given to each.
The list follows: District No. 1,

hoe, S1,012.51; No. SO, Shane
Ridge, S650.20; No. GA, Chappell,
$156.39; No. 65, Rudd, S450.31.
Carbon county's allotment from
the state fund this year is $8,458.97
"a sum approximately $4,000
less than that of last year. Sources
of income from which the equaliza-
tion moneys are derived have been
barren this year, the inactivity OF
the state copper industry causing
part of the shortage.
Definite appointments of the
Carbon fund will be sent to Treas
urer George Mcdonald from the
office of the state superintendent
within a few months.

According to Conductor Milligan,
the memebrs of the Van Doren
family were driving from a side
road leading from their ranch
house, located about $50 feet from
the railroad. The car, a Ford auto
truck, ran onto the tracks on the
private crossing, coming directly in
the path of the locomotive, which
was moving at approximately 40
miles per hour.
The car was knocked completely
around by the engine, and rolled
and dragged for a distance of 200
feet along the track before being
thrown clear. The train was halted
within 300 feet of the crossing.
Mrs. Van Doren was instantly
killed by the impact of the engine
pilot; the girl and the boy were
crushed in the wreckage of the car.
Stevens leg was broken, and Bet
ty's body was terribly bruised and
lacerated.
Robert Hetherington, engineman
of the train, said he did not see the
car until it was almost upon the
tracks ahead of the locomotive, as
it approached from the left side
of the train. The driver was SEEM
ingly unaware OF the oncoming
train, and blasts of the whistle did
not stop the auto.
Doctor Hall of Laurel hurried
to the scene in answer to a sum-
mons, and did everything possible
to save the victims.
Today's tragedy was the first
serious accident that Engineer
Hetherington has experienced dur
ing his 80 years of service on this
division.

CARBON FAILS TO
CHECK BEARCREEK
Superior Offensive Work
Wins for Bearcats
BY 11-21 Score

Altho closely guarded and forced
to work for every point in the score
column, the Bearcreek high school
team broke repeatedly thru the
Carbon high defense last night to
almost double the score against the
Red Lodge players. The game at
Btarcreek Wednesday night ended
with the Bearcats on the favorable
side of the 11-21 score.
Little doubt remained that Bear
creek has the strongest team in
the county after Carbon's close
five-man defense failed to stop the
sharpshooting of Laukaites, Bar
ovich and Nelson. Bearcreek's scor-
ing was slightly under normal.
Bearcreek took the lead soon af-
ter the toss-up, holding it until the
second quarter. In that period Car
bon tied the count, only to fall back
again and trail thruout the rest of
the game. Guarding was close and
rough, more than 30 free throws
being taken during the game.
Blaskovich hoisted in the ma
jority of baskets for Red Lodge,
with assistance from Lefty Dimich.
Free throw attempts on the part of
both teams were, for the most part,
only attempts.
Starters for Carbon were Bias
kovich, Liedes, Zupan, Lefty DIM
ich and Doran. Coach Hartwig also
used N. Dimich, and sent Laatikai-
nen in for the other Dimich in the
second half. Coach Bennett put
Laukaites, Nelson, Barovich, Saw
age and Planichek on the floor
Tastoversnik and Danichek were
in for Laukaites and Barovich.
Grade school teams of Red Lodge
and Bearcreek played the prelim-
mary game, which was really not
a game but a private scoring con-
test between Nyback and Martilla
of the Roosevelt quintet. The 43-9
score favored Red Lodge. On the
Bearcreek team were Henry,
George, Reid, Leonard, Buddy, and
Maxwell, against Coach Jenkins
team of Nyback, Martilla, Polk,
Blazina, Kosovich, and Mattila.

are found in Utah, Nevada. Wyom- ing, Arizona and the Canadian Rockies. All told, the number pro- ably exceeds 100000.
 How have all these horses come to run loose? The story appears to commence with the Spaniards who explored the southwest four cen- turies ago.
 So far as is known. there were no horses in either North America or South America when the whites ar- rived. Our records tell us that the Indians were frightened when they saw Spaniards riding on the backs of large, four-foOted beasts.
 When Coronado left Mexico to eX- plore the Rocky mountain region and the plains, he took with him d goodly number of horses. Some of these escaped from camp. Horses also escaped from the camps of other Spanish explorers. The famed Indian ponies are believed to be offspring of horses brought to the continent by Spaniards.
 Even during the past century. thousands of horses have escaped or have been set free from ranches and have mixed with wild horses of the mountains.
 Horses which have escaped from the care of man are wild in one sense: but horses whose ancestors were never tanned appear to exist TOW only in Mongolia.
 We know that during the stone Age in Europe, thousands of wild horses roamed around. Great heaps of boneS-Some of them split open to obtain the marrow-have been found in France and elsewhere. Drawings of horses have been found irI caves which were once used as homes by stone Age people.

scallops Border Everything Except the Hem q There
Something Mysterious About Black Velvet

Once again arises the age-old
question: Do girls dress to at
tract men or each other? We've
been wondering about it and
finally came to the conclusion
that it all depends. When buy
ing campus coats and costumes
the impression that they'll give
to other girls is kept in mind.
But for a dress that's bought
to "date" in-that's meant for
nothing else but to appeal to
'men."
Pique Velveteen
For a dress when dates are
quite informal we'd suggest the
Lucille .Paray model illustrated
at the left. The little scallopS
appear at every possible edge
except the hem. The colors
that we've seen it in are lovely
as can be. Bronze green and
brown combined, appealed to
us the most, though we must
admit the whole thing in min.
strel blue is as smart as any,
thing we've seen!
But the best part Of all is
what it's made of. Velveteen,
with tiny narrow ribs just like
pique-only just as soft as chif-
fon velvet! And vying with the
fabric for attraction, is the
price-$10.95, the tag read, and
you'll be able to buy it for
about that.
