During the more than JIG
years that have elapsed since
the discovery Of oil ia this
state, many fields have been
brought into production Many
structures have been drilled
sufficiently to afford definite
proof Of favorable structural
conditions, but have failed to
yield oil in the shallow sands.
With structure definitely es-
tablished, both IN the produc-
ing and reproducing fields,
it is now possible to proceed
with deep sand development
with little guesswork as to ge-
illogical conditions.

Gable Tools
Hitherto, drilling has been
done exclusively with cable
tools, eminently suited for shall
low work but now regarded by.
the oil fraternity ia general as
unsuited to deeper drilling, to
depths of a mile or more, such
as is now commonplace.
In this connection it is of IN
terest to note that only one
well in Montana, with the ex-
ception Of Dry Greek, where
rotaries are in use, has passed
the mile mark.
Precedent
When Montanas first com
mercial oil field, Cat Creek.
came into production, all Men
tana drilling for several years
was confined to testing the
shallow horizons in which Cat
Creek got its oil. No other
field in the state has since
found oil in the Cat Greek |
horizon, in commercial a.
mounts.
With the development Of Ke-
vin-Sunburst, where oil was
found at the top Of the Madi-
son lime, a new precedent was
established.
New Barrier
AN drilling in northern Mon
tana has since ceased at the
top Of the Madison lime, with
a few notable exceptions
Although generally disre-
garded BY the oil fraternity,
some Of the few notable ex-
ceptions, engineered By opera
tors with pioneering instincts,

hausted by heavy demands for re-
lief work, the National Red Cross
also advanced funds to the chap
terS that they might continue to
meet the needs Of their respective
communities.
In addition to the Widespread re-
lief measures for civilians, Red
Cross records show home service
workers in 1926 chapters through
out the nation gave assistance to
100000 eX-service men and their
families.
Relief needs this winter will be
greater than last, including unem-
ployment and natural disasters. as
well as the regular services safe
guarding public health, which are
supported by public memberships.
With a population of 9,7S3, POI,
the membership goal in the Paci-

Court Trial Like
Political Reunion

It was quite fitting that Judge
Vaughn N Thompson should re-
turn judgment for Ben Hulse yes
terday afternoon in a suit in
which H. L. Mansfield named Hulse
defendant, for the array of legal
talent in the case read like a pri-
mary ballot.
Judge Thompson ruled that
Hulse, candidate for state senator
on the Republican ticket, owes
nothing to Mansfield for labor and
work on Hulse's federal income tax
return in 1890, and that Mansfield
shall pay $2740 court costs.
Besides Hulse. who was success
full candidate at the primaries for
state senator, and whose name is
on today's ballots, the case saw
Ray D. Johnson, defeated candi-
date for state senator, as attorney
fer Mansfield and S. P. Williams,
defeated candidate for superior
court judge, as attorney for Hulse.
Mansfield was the only inter
ested party who is not and had
not been running for office.
