A stream of crude oil shot over

showings of gas and oil were
found. Only about two feet of pro-
gress was made Tuesday, but Cd :
pacity tests are expected to be
made late this week.
julius G Peters of Great Falls,
president of the Resolute company,
estimated that 500 barrels or more
of high grade crude flowed in the
demonstration. The well has pos

Peters, provided that final results

bit entered the Wall Creek sands.
The Frontier sand is hard pack

to strike the principal oil pool with

The new we'll is the deepest ever
drilled with cable tools in the
Rocky Mountain region.
At the present time storage
space is available at the we'll for
1000 barrels, although additional
storage will be provided if neces-

The company plans to make fur

operators.

JUNIOR CITIZENS TO

CLEANUP CAMPAIGN

In conjunction with Child Health
Day, which has been designated
for May by Governor J. e. Erick-
son, plans are under way here to
interest school children, Boy
Scouts, and other young peoples
organizations not only in person
al health but in civic cleanliness
as well, according to DR.. E. nj.
Adams, city health officer.
Child Health Day, combined
with a civic cleanup campaign in
which the children materially as
sist the city officials and their
parents in cleaning up and beauti-
flying the city can do much to pro-
mote good citizenship in our cit

stated. "The child who is taught
civic pride in early youth is not
likely to forget it in later years"
at is hoped that instructors IN
the local schools will arrange suit
able programs for the day, and
that they will dc their utmost to
instill civic pride in the children
whenever the opportunity presents
itself.
"If every child in the Red Lodge
schools would forbear from throw
ing waste paper and the like into
the streets, even that would help
materially in cleaning up the CITY,"
The cleanup campaign, aside
from making a more healthful city,
would also be an inducement to
tourists, DR.. Adams believes. ga
tourist who sees alleys filled with |
and papers blowing around |
in the streets is not usually favor
ably impressed with the town, and
doesn't care to stop"
