FOUR WELLS
In DRY CREEK
MAKING Hole

Steady progress Is reported
this week b. four wells
drilling In the Dry cEeek
field ia southern Montana,
with two approaching in-
teresttng depths.
Ohio Oil conpany's No. 1
Robinson Brothers Is drilling At
1850, No. 2 Montana industrial
at $500 and NO. / Caldwell
Permit at 1900. Carbon Oil
& Gas company's No. McMinn
is drilling at $3.50. All are
using rotary equipment.
Most interesting and most Inn
portant. from the standpoint OF
future operations, is the Carbon
Oil & Gas company's well. which
may extend the field both south
and east.
The Ohio Is reported planning
to drill Ia the extreme western
portion Of the field but as yet
has done nothing definite.

two miles east Of Payette. in
the extreme western portion Of
the state.
Production Is reported coming
from two sands. one at 1859 and
one at 1850. Flow is estimated
at 100000 feet. with normal
rock pressure.
The company has moved in TO

ing TO drln two more wells. with
the prospect that deeper h0ri-

IF the Republican party in Indi-
Il ana is to progress and recover
from the devastating defeat of a
week ago, 1t must be rebuilt from
the precinct up.
Merely changing the f1gureheads
at the top is just like putting on a
new hat and wearing dirty shirt,
torn trousers and down-at-t
heel shoes-no one, especially the
independent voter, will be fooled.
All the defective superstructure
must go-the Robinsons, the Cof-
fins, the Owens, and all that they
represent, from the fiery cross to
the double cross.
The housekeeping must be thor
ough.
But the change can not be made
in a minute, or overnight.
The first opportunity affords it
self next May, when the city pri-
maries are held and city precinct
committeeman are elected.
The Republicans are in position
to win a portion of the sixty-five
mayoralites which will be vacant
next year.
But this will not be accomplished
if men, for example, of the type of
George V. Coffin, whose lack of po-
litical morality is a by-word, are
permitted to select the candidate
and dictate the party policies.

Continuation of men like Coffin

He is the symbol of Republican
party that is noisome to all who

First chance for an appeal to
the state comes in the campaign

important state officials will be
elected.
The Republican party can not
afford to go before the voters with
the old set-up, if it hopes to win.
There must be a change. That
doesn't mean that the younger ele-
ment need merely to rise on its
hind legs, demand control and ex-
pect to get it.
The postwar Republican workers
can, however, go about making a
change through using the advice and

TINE struggle which American
Il women had to make against
custom and prejudices to get their
rights as adult human beings rec
ognized is described in engrossing
detail in Earth Horizon" Mary
Austin's biography.
One of the most distinguished
of American novelists, Mrs. Austin
has written fine, richly-colored
book, and her story of her life is,
among other things, the story OF
the emancipation of American
women.
Brought up in a small town in
southern Illinois, Mrs. Austin
emerged from her childhood just
when the post-Civil war and post
pioneer period had reduced mid
die western life to its most mo-
notonous level.
In describing that period, she
gives the background for the
woman suffrage movement, the
growth of the w. G. T. u, etc.
She makes it clear that all Of
these things stemmed from the fact
that the woman of her time and
place had no rights that any one
had to respect and was, by Gus
tom and tradition, hopelessly
cramped and robbed of individu-
atty.
But that is not all there is to
this book. All her life Mrs. AUS
tin has been intelligently and
earnestly seeking for pattern in
American life, hunting for soul,
a living spirit, behind the familiar
routine; and she tells here how
she found it, and her book has
mysticism OF real beauty and
robustness.

There is talk of Arthur L. Gilliom

also a liberal and progressive.

for the honor.

Barnard would like to make a bid
for the governorship.

identity he tacitly agreed with her
sentiments in the matter.
OF De Vos and ShaughneSsey she
saw almost nothing. A brief turn
with the first did not come I'D to
her expectations. Having antici-
pated dancing with him, she was
disappointed to find that they sim
ply did not get along together
and he made no attempt to pretend
they did.
His attention strayed obviously,
She would find his eyes always on
other women in the room, while
he heedlessly guided her about in

where, oh, where was he? With
carefree disregard of his social OBJ
legations, Shaughnessey had disap-
peared almost at the moment of
their arrival.

Frequently Linda was exasperated
enough to box her ears and on rare
occasions, when some audacious bit
of selfishness completely outraged
her, she could have seen the beauti-
full Fleur torn limb from limb with
out tremor.
This was one of the times when
Fleur merely amused her. 1t was

that his few dances with her were

THE surprise of the evening was
Il the midwesterner. For all his
somewhat forbidding exterior, there
was no doubt that Statlander really
was fond of dancing.
His sense of rhythm was perfect;
he INDUCED in no stunts or flights
of fancy. Dancing with him was
utter smoothness and delight. Not
caring much to talk when she
danced, Linda welcomed the I'M
broken silence.
Statlander seemed to put his
mind entirely on what he was do
ing and certainly the results justi-
fed it. Nor when they danced to-
gether did she detect that aura
about him.

each with its hidden bench and
lawn chairs; even the cars and a
few tied-up launches and other
craft proved more alluring to many
than the amusement for which they
had ostensibly come.
Save for an occasional "duty
dance" Linda saw little Of her
guests.
Early in the evening Marvin
Pratt succeeded in finding her
momentarily alone-he evidently
preferred not to cut in on Tom
but he very soon yielded her to a
neighbor with no such inhibitions.
At any rate, dancing with Mar
vim was no great pleasure. He was
q conscientious, but not a natural
dancer and this evening his formal
politeness tried her very soul.
At intervals, she saw him with

different damsels Of the neighbor-
hood.
