Lahre| Wildcat May Have
TO Commence New Hole
Biologists Missed Laurel
Fault With 2OO-Ft. Throw

Revelation that some Of the best geologists IN
the United States have during the past ten years walked
nnumerabe times a fault with q 200fOot throw
without seeing it is made this week IN 8 letter TO
ceived from R. Viars, of Spokane, independent Sc
ologist
The fault in question is that on the Laurel strac-
ture where Spokane-Laurel Oil Company wildcat last
week unleashed raging gas flow at $50 feet. The
Laurel structure has been worked by dozens of geoo
ests during the past decade and has paid any
tention to the fault al picking the high Of che
structure the place for testing Says Yiars letter
"a notice in your article reference was made to the
geoogst making measurements Of displacement Of the
fault crossing the structure which gave information
that very valuable in determining the location Of
the present drilling
II wish to say that in making up these measure
and estimates regarding this fault worked
a cross section sketch from a small amount Of data
supplied by Hardie and Burns From this section
was able to determine approximately the throw Of
the fault and certain conditions which were not real
lied by the interested.
I found that the fault is q thrust fault with
the east side being thrown upward distance Of
several hundred feet instead Of about thirty feet
as had been estimated by Hardie and Burns and
others.
found also that while the east side is undoubt-
eddy the high of the structure yet the fault Of suf

worked out seems to be sufficiently accurate to have
at the depth indicated has seemed prove without
question, the correctness Of the conclusions have
reached.
s am, of course very much interested in the deep
err development into the Dakota sands where other
structures have found large production in southern
Montana. No doubt something important win be found
here in that horizon.

Even the household washer has come

it is transformed, because women want it
to harmonize with all other features of
home improvement" it says. "Today's
models are finished to harmonic with
practically any color scheme"
This change has come in response to
womens demands, just as other changes

suit is that when woman is seen hanging
out clothes, it's no sign she's a washer

holder is apt to be needlessiy worried con

that the obligations written into their policy

HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE

The Citizen does not vouch for the cor
rectness of his figures, but recent writer
declares that 100000 miles of hard sur
faced American highways must be recon-
they will be unfit for use. Some engineers
estimate that before 1947, or within Is
years, all our present highways will have
to be rebuilt.
Even allowing for some exaggeration
of the situation, the prospect is rather dis
couraging 1t appears that most of our
highways will be ruined before they are
paid for. as many road bond issues still
have many years to run before maturity.
There is no doubt that their rapid de-
terioration is due largely to the damage
caused by unreasonably heavy trucks and
buses. These destructive vehicles not
only break up our roads and weaken our
bridges, but are nuisance and menace
to all other traffic.
No one would object to the use of the
roads by trucks of reasonable size and
weight, but the enormous ones which now
infest the highways should be abolished
at the earliest possible moment. Legisla-
ton to this end is being adopted in many
states, and while the truckmen are protest
ing they have no one but themselves to
blame.
BY trying to "hog" the roads and de-
stroy them at the same time they have lit
tie cause for complaint if the taxpayers de-
mand protection for the highways they
have built at such burdensome expense.
