DOES HISTORY REPEAT?.

YIN the not distant future two more
wells in the vicinity of Cut Banks
first 50O4barrel well wdaI be drill
Ing into the sand.
Everyone is asking: ''WlIl there be
another well like the Miller gusher7"
The Miller well was drilled in the
east edge OF the field where many
said that It would get gas Il
happened to get the fortunate com
bination of gas and oil in a thick
sand. It is the fields largest well.
Now the question arises whether IL Is
just a freak" or whether II is the
vanguard well of series OF gushers
which villa turn Cut Bank into a field
OF quick profits.
There are many in Cut Bank who
recall the history of Kevin-Sunburst.
The first commercial oil well in the
main part OF Kevin-Sunburst was rated
at so barrels. 1t was good crude and
came from the Sunburst sand. But
che outlook was not bright Many
shook their heads and lamented that
Kevin7Sunburst was to be & punper
field.
You have to have flowing wells to
make money" they said.
Then the Gladys Belle drilled in q
well that flowed over the top.
Its a freakish condition" said the
observers. This is a pumper field"
Within q few weeks Tom Hogan
brought in a flowing wela, miles
away, and this, too was dubbed q
freak"
Then came the Ohio-Baker No. 3
well, in the midst Of lamented pumper
wells 1t flowed at the rate OF 1900
barrels. At that time we all said,
1T will never happen again" We
were almost right, for this we'll has
produced around a milli0n dollars
worth Of oil, and there have not been
many million dollar oil wells
But Homestake Exploration COM
pany couldn't believe that the Ohio
had all the guaher production dn the
field, so drilled a short distamce away
on the Howaing farm ana brought in
its famous Howling No watch rivaled
the Baker in its remarkable per-
f0rmance.

well in which both oil and gas we're
present in commercial quantities. That
one we'll is the Miller well.
Are there any other spots in the
field where there Is this combfnationf
Only the drill can tell It goes with
out saying that the logical spot to
look for this combination is where It
1t known to exist. That means that
the vicinity OF the Miller well IL most
likely to develop q gusher pool. How
far It win extend In any nfreCEion IL
something OF 8 guess The man who
guesses right will doubtless make 8
fortune This one pool may justify
ali of the Cut Bank development,
alone. Just as the FnIton-Rice pool in
Kevin Sunburst was sufficiently pgoli-
ne that had no other oil been found
in the entire Kevin-Sunburst area, II
would have been a highly profitable
oil field. That pool provided around
TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS to the
operators and royalty owners.
It takes just ONE 81, O00, 900 pool
to make an oil field.
In view Of the fact that there have
been no dry holes in this vast area,
does 1t not seem probable that the
Miller web Is a harbinger Of more
and possibly larger flowing wells?
II It has opened up a POOL, then
we have participation, for our menu
beers have royalty across 40 acres from
the Miller. We paid a price Tor Il
that would have been fair for the
AVERAGE acreage IN the field. If IL

NAMES ADVERTISED
miami Herald)

Miami HeFaIQD
One pleasant feature of the state and
county tax delinquent list being published
in The Herald is the fact that names are
to large extent replacing the word I'm
known in the space reserved for owners.
This isa direct result of the activity
of Tax Assessor j. Newton Lummus in get
ting the owners to declare themselves, and
to keep up to the minute on charges of
ownership.
The chief virtue of the tax list as pub
lished is the advertising of deIinquents,
names of men and women or corporations
who have not paid their share of the gov
eminent that protects them. So long as
the owners could remain anonymous under
the title of Unknown" the delinquent
tax list held no terrors for them. But now,
with business recovery ahead, and the pre-
servation of credit desirable. it is likely
that many will pay their taxes to erase
their names from the delinquent list,
In other states where tax collection
laws are stricter and penalties more severe,
the failure TO pay taxes Is regarded as
sign of civic disloyalty deserving con-
demnation. In Florida, unfortunately, the
tax delinquent in late years has been the
favored son. the pampered pet of legis-
latures likewise composed largely Of delin-
quents and of collection officials afraid to
invoke the law for fear of losing votes.
When our people learn. finally, that
the failure on the part of some to pay their
taxes year after year makes the burden
that much heavier on those who do, it is
going to be politically wiser TO collect taxes
than to let enforcement lag. Assessor
Lammus Is starting the movement in grea;
shape.

A ROTTEN SYSTEM
{ Miami Heraldl


Evidently, there is something very
wrong with Fiorida's system of handling
state convicts.
Escapes of prisoners, convicted of fell
onies, have become so common in recent
weeks that they are exciting statewide
comment and condemnation.
Three convicts sent up from Dade
county, two convicted of murder and one
for series of burglaries, are among those
who have walked away from the state pris-
on or road camp and are now at large in
the world.
1t is shocking to learn that Walter
Walton, convicted of brutal murder in
this county and given life Imprisonment
sentence and who twice before this, has es-
capped, has been given the privileges of a
trusty and again has made his getaway.
1t would seem that one who has I'M
lawfully escaped from confinement once
ought to not again be placed in a position
where he could make the prison system
ridiculous and bring down upon the head
of the prison management the just criti-
cisms of the people of the state.
The question may be seriously asked
just what is the use of going through the
farce of arresting, trying, convicting and
sentencing felons, if they may be permitted
privileges that enable them to make an es-
cape whenever they choose?
In these eases the majesty of the law
has been flouted, the states courts and
pardoning board made ridiculous
Something is lax, deplorably lax, in
the effective punishment of the states con-
victs. These recent escapes indicate that
and that all officials, who have seemed to
show that they are not capable to discharg-
ing their duties effectively, should be re-
moved without delay.
And another lesson should be learned
from these incidents, all too many in this
state that should be taken to heart by
juries. They should learn that when in
the case of murder in the first degree, they
are but adding to the opportunity for crime
when they recommend mercy for the con-
victed man. Such recommendations
merely mean that, within very few years,
at the longest, the convict either receives
a pardon or parole or he makes his es-
cape from the penitentiary.
The people of the state will await
with considerable curiosity, not to say APP
prehension, the action of the state authori-
ties with reference to these escapes. What
are they going to do about it? What
methods, if any, are they going to adopt
tn make FInrida'S laws with reference TO
criminals reasonably effective?
A full explanation should be forth
coming and the whole prison system should
be overhauled, reconstructed and made an
effective instrument for the punishment
and prevention of crime

SIDELIGHTS

Former Editor of The Key West Citizen

Tuskegee Institute reports six lynch
ings in the United States during the first
six months of 1888, or one more than the
number reported for the corresponding
period last year. OF those lynched two
were white and four were negroes, from
the following states: Louisiana and Ten
nessee two each. While this was six lynch
ings too many, the record shows great i'm
provement since the year 1892, when no
less than 255 persons were lynched in the
United States, 100 of them being white.
