ROADS FLOODED BY
SUNDAYS RAIN STORM

Last Sundays rain storm, ar
irving in a thorough going fashion
after it's long delay, caused the
county road crews some trouble,
according to Frank Bowman, coun-
ty surveyor. Roads were flooded
and at several places were made
impossible.
Water poured down Bear creek
Sunday afternoon in too great a
volume for the twelve e-by-twelve
culvert west of Bearcreek and
washed out a tunnel beside the
culvert almost as large as the cul-
vert itself. All fills between Bel
fry and Bearcreek were flooded
over, although workers on the
bridges prevented their being torn
out by floating timber.
Water sluiced over the roads at
several places between Butcher
creek and Dry Volney and at
places along the Bridger road. No
great damage was done, however,
and the county outfits had the
roads in passable shape for travel
Monday.

BURNS REPORTS GOOD
SHOW TN LAUREL WE'LL

Bob Burns, one of the directors
of the Pan American syndicate
that is drilling the we'll at Laurel
was in Red Lodge Wednesday.
The showing being made by the
Laurel well is encouraging, says,
Mr.. Burns. The bore is now on the
Dakota horizon, at 900 feet in the
sandy shale, and making a good
showing Of oil, with some gas. No
water is present there and lack of
hydrostatic pressure is responsible
for the slowness of production.
Drillers expect to break into
the Lakota sand at about 1900
feet with the possibility Of
commercial strike being great.
They are now understanding the
10-inch pipe that was landed at
900 feet; it is intended to carry
this to depth of more than 1,100
feet, with the intention off keep
ing the bore large.

OPEN SEASON ON SAGE
HENS. GROUSE WILL
BE AUGUST 16. IL. q 18

Sage hens and grouse will be
in season August 16, II, and 18 in
Carbon county and II other Mon
tana counties, according to State
Game Warden A. T. Holmes. An
oreder recently issued declares an
open season on the birds in II
counties-exclusive of regions spe-
cially protected by the State Fish
and Game commission.
Counties in which sage hens
can be shot are Carbon, Yellow
stone, Carter, Custer, Fergus,
Golden Valley, Petroleum, Rose.
bud, Stillater, Valley, Wheatland
and Big Horn.
1t is noticed in the game laws
of Montana that it is unlawful to
shoot game from an automobile,
or from public highways. The
ruling makes game preserves of
the public roads.
The bag limit on sage hens is
set at five. 1t is unlawful for any
person to have in his possession at
any one time more than five birds,
nor is it allowable for anyone to
kill more than five birds in any
one day during the open season.
The season this year is being
opened earlier than usual, so that
young birds can be killed whose
meat is as yet not tainted with
the flavor of sage berries. Hunt
ing in many sections is reported
good. and particularly in the Red
Lodge vicinity.

TWO WELLS COME IN ON DRY
CREEK STRUCTURE THIS WEEK
OHIO INDUSTRIAL NO. AND MARGARET SOUDERS WELLS
INDICATE SHAPE AND FUTURE EXTENT OF
FIELD; TESTS ARE PROMISING

Both the Ohio Industrial wei
No. l and the Idustrial No. 2, the
Margaret Souders we'll, on the Dry
creek structure, came in last week
and are delivering increasing am
cunts of gas and oil, while it is
reported that the Cooke and Web
Der we'll of the Beartooth Oil
company is at 1000 feet, close to
the Frontier sand with good
showing of gas and oil.
The Industrial No. l is at S.
586 feet in the Cloverly sand, and
is showing 100000 cubic feet of
gas and $50 barrels of oil per
day. 1t is soon to be connected
With the Montana Power pipe line,
and a definite test taken within
several weeks.
North of the No. 1, the Mar
garet Souders No. 2 is already in
connection with the pipe line with
tests showing it to be producing
30,O0O,000 feet of gas. This bore
struck the Torchlight sand of the
Frontier at 1000 feet, and came
IN at 1880, with test of Is mil
lion feet of gas.
Examination of the core of the
souders well reveals the fact that
this bore cuts almost vertically
through the rock strata of the Dry
creek structure, indicating that it
Is perhaps the center of the field
there. Although it is now the
furthermost we'll to the north on
the structure, it is likely to become
the hub of more widespread OPP
erations in that district, and if it's
output continues at the present
rate, to become the largest pro-
ducer in the state.
This we'll, drilled squarely on a
fault as are most of the other
bores in that region, also stands as
proof that fault in the structure
IS no obstacle to the sinking of
a producing we'll. Both of the Ohio
wells serve to demonstrate the
shape and extent of the dome, and
to indicate the future possibilities
of the field.
West of the No. 2 the Chapman
well rig is being refitted with new
rotary equipment and within Is
days will resume operation. This
we'll was spudded in last June and
has already made a promising
show in the upper sands to depth
Of 900 feet. During the drilling
Of the Chapman, all sands down
20 the Madison and below will be
tested separately.
Completion Of the Montana Pow
er pipe line-a ten inch main ex-
tending from the Dry Greek field
north and west-opens a field that
is potentially the greatest in Mon
tana. Both in the quality of the
gas and oil, and in the possible
life span of the wells, the Dry
Greek field exceeds any structure
in the western region. Producing
wells at depth of 10000 feet are
possible there, with an average
life of 40 to so years, due to the
1ensity and compactness of the
sandstone. Although they come
n slowly, their time of production

GREENOUGH rs FIRST
AT CHEYENNE RODEO

Riding the notorious horse Five
Minutes to Midnight in the finals
of the Cheyenne rodeo last week,
Turk Greenough of Red Lodge won
first place in the bucking contest.
Earl Thode of Belvedere, S. D.,
Miles City, third.
Turk, who placed third in buck
ing at the Sheridan rodeo, also
Won first day money at Cheyenne.
The horse on which he made his
final ride is a brother of Midnight,
the bronze that has never been sue
cessfully ridden in rodeo competi-
tion. Five Minutes to Midnight
is only little tanner than it's
famous brother. Only four men
have been known to have made
far rides on this horse. Green
ough has ridden it twice during the
course of his activity in western
shows, and last year won third
place at Pendleton on the same
horse.

Some concerns are making money.
For instance, you may congratulate
Gerard Swope, head of the General
Electric company. He announces
$21, ,523, ,722.88 profit for the first six
months Of this year. It is not as
good as last year, but comes within
8 cents Of earning the regular divi-
dend.
When our eight new 10,0OO-ton
cruisers went to sea, it was found
that cracks developed in an irapor-
tant part of the structure. That
can be remedied by rebuilding in
part. Now the cruisers are found
to roll so badly that accurate gun
fire is impossible. Tanks and bilge
keels will be installed, and perhaps
will prevent that.
AS for the rolling difficulties, they
would be much simplified in war. A
bombing plane would drop a few
thousand pounds Of high explosives
into the water few feet from the
cruiser. 1t would roll over once,
and roll no more.

DECLINES TO GUST
WARDMAN RECEIVER
Justice J. C. Adkins Refuses
BondhoIderS' Plea to
Interfere.

District Supreme Court Justice Jesse
C. Adkins yesterday declined to interfere
with the receivership of the Wardman
Realty Properties, Inc, which was
established some weeks ago by Justice
James NJ. Procto-. in the foreclosure
suit brought by the Hanover Central
Trust Co. of New York and its CO.
trustee under the $16,00o,0o0 mortgage
on the Wardman Park Hotel, the Carl
ton Hotel and other built
properties.
Court Discharges Rule.
The court also discharged q rule
against the corporation and the trustees
to show cause why the foreclosure
should not be enjoined.
The injunction proceeding was
brought by Leslie M. Shaw, former Sec
rotary of the Treasury, acting for him
self and as trustee of the holders Of
mortgage bonds of the defendant COM
pany.
He charged that the receivers, Thomas
Carson. president of the company; Julius
l. Peyser, attorney and banker. and Jo-
seph P. Tumulty, former secretary OF
President Wilson. were too closely iden-
titled with the Reorganization Commit
tee inaugurated by Halsey-Stuart & Co.,
who represented the mortgagor in the
flotation of the bonds. to properly repre-
sent the bondholders.
Asks New Receivers.
He also charged that the trustees
bringing the foreclosure suit should
have taken over the properties at an
earlier date, and asked that other re-
ceivers be named in his suit. which, he
claimed, was filed pricr to the fore
closure suit and had priority, even If
he did have to file an amended suit
after the receivers had been appointed.

WAR SUPPLY BILL
.FAVORS HIGHER PAY
Senate Committee Adds Fund
for Increases in Under
Average Cases.

In reporting out the War Department
annual supply bill yesterday the Senate
Appropriations Committee once more
went on record in favor of making a
start this year on program of salary
promotions for Government employees
in under-average cases.
Following the policy it has observed
en- all the other departmental supply
bills thus far, the committee added to
the War Department measure $267,710
for salary increases, in accordance with
the budget recommendation for a
three-year program of adjustments In
under-average grades. The House has
omitted these salary increases from the
several supply bills considered up to
this time.
Late yesterday Cramton, in announc-
ing plans for the hearings, said they
would be closed and that Secretary Hyde
and Col Arthur Woods of the Hoover
Employment Commission would be
called. He expressed the hope that the
hearings would be completed by the end
of the week.
Meanwhile, there has been no final
settlement of the issue between the two
branches of Congress over the salary
question. The decision is to be made
on the Treasury-Post Office bill. What
ever is done with the increases in that
bill is expected to be followed In the
other bills.
The Senate Committee also added to
the War Department bill yesterday a
provision making $4,000 available to
reimburse the Gray Ladies of the Red
Cross for expenditures already made in
connection with the construction of the
nonsectarian chapel at Walter Reed
Hospital in this city.

Department bill tomorrow.

LAVAL ATTEMPTING
TO form MINISTRY
Youthful Senator Hopes to
Have Cabinet Ready for
Declaration Thursday.


PARIS, January 24-Pierre Laval,
youthful Independent-Socia Senator
and one of the leaders of the Left Gen.
ter Moderates, tonight took up the task
ed by Senator Theodore Steeg. over
thrown in the Chamber of Deputies on
Thursday.
He accepted the task at the hands of
President Doumergue after Aristide
BRAND, veteran of many ministries, had
declined the premiership for the fourth
time IN a year and half.
In two long conversations with Presi-
dent Doumergue by telephone from
Geneva, where he was attending the
sessions of the Council of the League
OF Nations, NJ. BRAND said he preferred
to retain the post of foreign minister
and the premiership should go to a
younger man.
Failed in December.
Senator Laval attempted to form a
government after the defeat of the
Tardieu cabinet in December last year,
but was prevented by what seemed an
irreconcilable battle between the Right
and Right Center groups, headed by
Andre Tardieu, and the Radicals, who
look to Edouard Herriot, former pre-
mter, for leadership.
Tonight it was said he could prob
ably succeed in forming a ministry of
the Center, holding a position between
the Tardieu groups and the Steeg cab
met of the Left.
He was reported to be assured of the
support of both Right Centrists and
Radicals, as well as of the earnest COL
liberation of the Henry Clay of French
politics, AriStide BRAND.
Senator Laval was minister of labor
IN the Tardieu government and won
general approval in France by his set
Element of the important textile strikes
last Autumn. He is close friend of
M Tardieu and is expected to rely to
O certain extent on his support.
BRAND Keeps Post.
He said tonight he expected to have
his government formed on Monday and
would appear in Parliament with his
ministerial declaration Thursday.
Late tonight 1t was announced that
M. BRAND had accepted the ministry
of foreign affairs in the new govern
ment, post which he has occupied in
the last six cabinets, ranging from the
Right Center to the Left.
Senator Laval visited Fernand Bouis-
son, president of the Chamber of Depu-
ties. at 10 O'Clock tonight, and later
told newspaper men:
It am trying to form a Cancellation
government, including all parties,
whether of the Left, the Center or the
Right"
