Soap Creek Field Is Producing
$500 Barrels q Month Since
Calf. Ind. Co. Here.

That there Is now a great In
ducement for oil field develop
ment in Montana lies in the fact
that Montana is the only oil pro-
ducing state in the nation on
which no restrictions on produc-
ton have been made by the fed
eral oil administration. In view Of
the fact that the large, newly
developed Cut Bank field in
northern Montana is now produc-
ing $4,000 barrels a month, it is
fortunate that this production
does not affect Montana's quota
for the reason that nearly every
barrel of it is exported across the
border into Canada. Over half of
the output of $4,000 barrels of the
Kelvin Sunburst field also goes to
Canadian consumers.
The Soap Creek field, south of
Hardin, in this county, is the only
field of any consequence whose
whole production is utilized in the
home market. Soap creek has been
producing about $500 barrels a
month since the entrance of the
California Independent Oil COM
pany. Previous to that time, &C
cording to the report of the Mon
tana oil conservation board, the
monthly production was around
$500 barrels, Alto being the fig
ures for the month of February.
Soap creek produced more oil in
that month than Elk Basin Mon
tana), Lake Basin, Sweet Grass
Hills, Bannatyne and Bears Den.
Drilling for greater production
will be started Don in Soap creek
by the California company.

O s THIS VALLEY

resources of this immediate COM
munity, delivered the following
interesting address to the dele
gates:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen:
I represent that community in
southeastern Montana-the Big
Horn valley-which is about the
size of the state of Rhode Island
in square miles. Its resources are
as yet mostly in the undeveloped
state. They consist of all the es-
sential elements of an inland en-
pire-practically all of the neces-
sary elements Of life, mainte-
nance, health and happiness for an
independent race or community of
people.
Upon the broad acres of this
community there may be grown
all of the regular agricultural
crops of the temperate zone and
many of those classed among the
products of the extreme southern
part of that zone. Along the bank
of Grapevine creek, about 40 miles
south of the city of Hardin, thele
will be found that fruit grown
from vines planted and maintain
ed by Mother Nature herself
wild as the people, and ANIMALS
originally inhabiting this native
Garden of Eden.
Through this community so
favorably blessed with so many
natural resources, there flows the
GROWING blessing of all-the Big
Horn river, a stream of generous
proportions, rising in the noun
tains of the sister state Of Wy
oming, flowing through the justly
celebrated Big Horn canyon, a
gorge in places 5000 feet and
more in depth, and out upon the
fertile plains of Montana, bearing
untold wealth awaiting only the

HARDIN MEN PURCHASE
GARAGE AT BIG TIMBER
Mac Johnson and Dan FunduS Buy
Ford Agency There-GrOver
Dunlap Joins Them.

Mac Johnson motored down
Wednesday from Big Timber to
spend a couple of days with his
wife, and his mother, Mrs. Louella
Johnson.
In partnership with Dan Fundus,
for the past several years m
ployed in the auto repair depart
ment of the Hardin Auto Co., he
last week purchased the ]. J.

sion. They took with them to
Big Timber Grover Dunlap, for
several years an auto salesman
for the Hardin Auto Co., who will
be employed in the sales depart
ment of the new firm, which will
be known as the Big Timber Motor
company.
These gentlemen are experienced
in the automobile business, good
business men and fine fellows,
and are deserving of the support
of the Big Timber community.
While Hardinites r sorry to lose
these families, what is Hardin's
loss is Big Timber's gain. The
last issue of the Sweet Grass
News has the following to say of
the change in ownership of the
Lacklin garage:
Last week two out-of-town part
les were bidding for the local
Ford agency and it was reported
that a sale had been made to a
man at Plevna, Mont. But the
deal fell through.
Monday Mac Johnson and Dan
Fundus came up from Hardin and
purchased the agency from J. j..
Lacklin, who had represented the
Ford people here for the past
nine years.
Mr.. Lacklin will devote his en-
tire time to his gasoline and oil
business and will have Gil Cor
don associated with him in this
line.
New owners of the Ford agency
announce their concern will here
after be known as the Big Timber
Motor Company and will be under
personal direction of MIR. Johnson
and Mr.. Fundus, who will be as
sisted in the sales department by
Grover Dunlap. formerly with the
Hardin Auto Company.
The purchase included all cars
on hand, furniture and fixtures,
supplies and parts. A long time
lease was taken on the building
on Mcleod street.
1t was announced Monday that
extensive additions will be made
in the amount of supplies and
parts carried and that service will
be given on all makes of cars.
Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Dunlap
will move their families here in
a short time. Mr.. Fundus is single.

PUT TABLET SITE
OF CROOKS BATTLE
Billings D. A. r. Will Dedicate
Bronze Marker Sunday,

ing Mountain chapter, Daughters
OF the American Revolution, of
Billings, bronze marker embed
ded in a huge. native stone monu-
ment will be unveiled and dedicat-
ed at the battle-ground of the
Rosebud on the headwaters of
that creek Sunday, June II, it was
announced Wednesday by chapter
officers, says the Billings Gazette.
The date marks the fifty eighth
anniversary of the battle which
was fought at that point between
the United States military forces
under Gen. George Crook and
Sioux, Cheyennes and allied In
dian tribes under the leadership
of Chief Crazy Horse.
Local D. A. r. officers said that
they expect the dedication cere-
monies will be largely attended,
not only by Billings people, but
by residents of Big Horn and
Rosebud counties. Ranchers who
live in the vicinity of the battle
site are cooperating in making
the project a success, officers said.
Invitations to attend the cere-
monies have been issued to Mai,

States army at Washington, D. c.,

ed in the battle, as we'll as t., Gen.
w. c. Brown of Denver, a survivor
of the Sioux campaign, who par
tlclpated as a lieutenant in the
Second cavalry.
A program which will include
brief talks by prominent speakers.
is being arranged and will be an
nounced later by officers of the
local chapter.
In the battle of the Rosebud,
nine soldiers were Killed and some
81 wounded, many of them severe
ly. The engagement did not prove
decisive. General Crook, finding
the Indians in greater force than
ne had expected, withdrew to his
base camp at Goose Creek, Wy
oming, to reform his lines and
await reenforcements. Eight DAYS
later occurred the tragic battle of
the Little Big Horn, in which most
OF the Indians who were at the
fight on the Rosebud participated.
The site Of this encounter one
OF the major engagements between
the army and Indians within the
boundaries Of Montana-has not
heretofore been appropriately or
permanently marked, due perhaps
to its isolated location, chapter
members said.
The battle. however, was one of
the really important actions of
the Sioux campaign, and had the
attack proved successful would no
doubt have had a very direct
bearing on bringing the campaign
to an early conclusion and MIGHT
have averted the Custer massacre.

GOLDEN RULE URGED
FOR AIR LISTENERS
Former Radio Commissioner Says
1t Helps Cut Inter
ference.

Although written 19 centuries be-
fore the first radio wave winged its
way through the ether, the Golden
Rule offers today the best general So
luton to the khotty problems of radio
interference, according to Dr. Orestes
H. Caldwell, former Federal radio
commissioner.
Opening the first national confer
ence on radio interference elimina-
ton in Rochester last week, DR.. Cald-
well gave five simple rules for the
radio listener to use to reduce inter
ference for himself and others. These
rules are:
/. Do unto others Tin eliminating
interference causes) as you would
have others do unto you.
2. Get your antenna for broad
cast reception as high and as far
away from house electrical apparatus
as possible.
3. In purchasing electrical appli-
ances, automotive devices. etc, speci-
fly that they are to be of types that
produce no radio interference"
4. See that your radio tubes are
new and in good condition.
S. Have a competent radio or cleo
trical man shield, or equip with choke
coils or condensers, any apparatus
which may be causing radio interfer-
ence for yourself or others.
