DRnLER O.
PASSES AWAY

The recent death OF r. Earl
Dickey. veteran North Montana drill
Ter, recalls his coming TO Montana
in 1890 as superintendent Of West
ern Petroleum Exploration COM
pany (Trico) operations. He
drilled the first well on Willow
Greek structure west OF Choteau.
Expecting that oil would be found
only in formations above the red
beds, the we'll was abandoned be-
fore any possible producing hori-
bon was reached. Dickey later
worked In Kevin-Sunburst field and
when his company sold out to Cali
net, Dickey remained In Montana.
He was working on the Radigan well
at Pendroy when he contracted
pneumonia and died In Great Falls
hospital. His relatives are in
wyoming and In West Virginia. He
was born in Tyler county, w. Va,
IN 1a8s.

FRED TELLS
ROTARlaHS ABOUT III

r. J. Busher, well known Kevin
oil operator told Great Fails Rotar-
ians 1t their Wednesday luncheon,
that il the knotty problem OF rail-
road rates could be s0lved, Montana
could provide It's own market with
gasoline from it's own crude, but
not otherwise. He showed the in
euuaiities Of rates which makes
Il possible for reflneEs TO chip gaao-
line into Montana for less money
than its costs to move gasoline to
the sams points from nearby Mon
tana reKineries He said that 1t
Il ridiculous that Montana pro-
ducers should be forced to prorate
while a flood OF oil from Wyoming,
California and the Midcontinent
takes the market which should be-
long to Montana producers. He
offered no solution.

G.. S. Barnett of Kentucky is
the expert who is coming here to
supervise the construction Of the

been preceded by high recon-
mendations furnished to officials

hol administration of the internal
revenue department who, in recon-
mending Mr.. Barnett, is quoted as
follows: "Mr. Barnett is the best
distiller in the United States. He
began when a mere lad and con-
tinued until prohibition. He oper-
ated the old Taylor distillery at
Frankfort, Kentucky, which was
probably the first distillery in
Kentucky. He gets better yield
than any distiller | know"
Upon awaiting the arrival of
Mr.. Barnett, the distillery offic-
ials said here Wednesday that
part of the big still, which is to
be installed in the plant in Red

POISON CAMPAIGN
TO GET UNDERWAY
ON GRASSHOpPERS
Estimate $4,000 Acres In
County Infested BY
Hopper Horde

With the effectiveness of the
blowing program which was
recommended up until May Is in
the Carbon county campaign
against the grasshopper infesta-
ton practically diminished, plans
and organization are now COM
plete to carry on an extensive
poisoning "war" against the pests,
according to F. G. Westlake of
the government bureau of entom-
ology, leader of the Carbon coun-
ty grasshopper campaign.
Approximately $4,000 acres in
Carbon county comprise the in
tested area in which the campaign
is to be conducted, it was revealed
in a survey of grasshopper eggs,
the county leader said. The de-
gree of infestation in the county's
infested areas ranges from med
ium to extra heavy, ratings taken
in the survey show. Sixty per
cent of the area infested rates
near to the extra heavy ~classifi-
cation, survey figures reveal.
In organizing the campaign the
infested areas of the county have
been divided into five communities
each in charge of a community
leader. These, as announced Mon
day by Mr.. Westlake, are: Red
Lodge district, J. G. Cox, leader;
Luther district, F. E. Mcdaniel;
Roscoe district, Frank Pierce,
leader; Castagne district, Pyrl
May; Roberts district, Svante
Lampi.
All shipments of government
bait to be used in the campaign
are being received at Roberts. The
bait is in the form of poisoned
bran and is being trucked to mix
ing stations at central points in
each community where district
leaders r supervising the hand
ling and distribution. Regular
crews for the mixing and scatter
ing of the government bait have
been secured through the FERA
and are working under supervision
of community leaders. Farmers
provide transportation of the bait
from community mixing stations
to the point where it is to be used.
A copy of a circular issued by
the Montana Extension service
giving instructions on how, when,
and where to distribute the pois-
oned bait can be obtained from
Mr.. Westlake. Success in poison
ing g%rasshoppers depends on pro-
per use of the bait, and, the cir
cular warns, it is possible to put
out the bait and kill more live
stock than grasshoppers.
The grasshoppers like individ-
ual flakes and avoid chunks of
bait, which makes proper scatter
ing important. Dropping the bait
in handfuls endangers livestock.
Proper scattering of the bait is
contained in the circular, either by
hand or mechanically. To be eff
fective bait should be scattered on
some days and not at all on 9TH
ers. Temperature governs the
time to scatter and not the clock,
it is stated.

SURVEY OF HOME
SITES IN FOREST
AREA IS STARTED
Crews Will Start Mapping
On Sites Selected
BY Application

A forest surveying crew began
Monday to subdivide the Bear
tooth forest area for summer
home sites on applications that
have already been received by the
forestry service.
Arriving here Friday to super
wise the start of the program
were Walter j. Derrick, forest
supervisor; M. H. Wolff, assistant
regional forester; Victor T. Lin
thecum of Butte, head of recre-
ationaI areas of forests in region
No. l, and Wares etillings, sur
veyor of the forestry service with
headquarters at Missoula.
Mr.. Stillings will have active
charge of the Beartooth summer
home survey, working under direc-
ton of Mr.. Linthecum, who, to-
gether with Mr.. Derrick and Mr..
Wolff, left here Saturday after
outlining the survey program.
Applications for summer home
sites in the Beartooth area have
been coming to the forestry office
for the past several weeks. The
sites selected by applicants are to
be surveyed by the crew which
will also locate other suitable cab
in sites in the area pending appli-
cations for them.
1t was reported Tuesday by
Warren Akers, ranger in charge
of the local area, that the forest
region is in readiness to welcome
the 1884 vacationist. All camp
sites-thirteen in number-that
yer begun last year by civilian
conservation corps workers in the
area have been completed. The
camps are equipped with stoves,
benches and tables for the con-
venience and comfort of the out
of-door goers.
Roads and trails in the area,
leading to favorite mountain and
forest retreats, are also in good
shape and are being maintained
by the foresters. A caterpillar
tractor and grader, a team of
horses and a crew of eight men
are engaged this week, Mr.. Akers
reported, in whipping the West
fork road into shape for summer
traffic. The road was completed
last fall by c. G. C. workers in
this area.
Mr.. Akers also reported that
the forestry service will start soon
to put in a drainage system on
the road leading to East Rosebud
lake, the work to be done on the
completed section of the road that
was begun as part of the G. G. C.
program in this region. Drain cul-
verts are to be installed and bridge
approaches will be constructed,
Mr.. Akers said.

NAGLE RULES ON
BUILDING SALE
Says Money Should Go TIC
Bond Sinking
Fund

Money derived from the sale of
a school building, after the bonds
issued for the erection of that par
ticular building have been paid.
may be placed in the sinking fund
to the credit of bonds issued for
the erection of other buildings, or,
in the discretion of the board OF
trustees, it may be devoted to any
other school purpose authorized by
law.
This was the substance Of ar
opinion rendered by Attorney Gen
eral r. T. Maggie for E. P. Conwsll
Carbon county attorney, at Hell
ena this week.
Uncertain as to how money de.
rived from the sale of an ole
school building should be disposed
the Red Lodge school district
through County Attorney Conwell
asked for an Interpretation Of the
law on the matter. The attorney
general expressed the opinion that
it should be credited to the bono
sinking fund, but in the absence
of any specific statutory provis-
ions, said it might be disposed Of
in the discretion of the school
board.
Maggie added that the financial
condition of the district should be
considered and if the outstanding
Indebtedness is of such amount as
to jeopardize the stability of such
Indebtedness, then good faith die
tates that money derived from the
sale of part of the districts assets
should be credited to the sinking
fund.
