WORD 'INTEREST"
DEFEATS ROYALTY
on HASKINS FAR

A peculiarly worded deed which
conveyed title 10 land, Preserving
12hss interest and royalty" was
interpreted by the supreme court
Of Montana as meaning that ell roy
atty, owners under this deed are
tenants in common on the 40-acre
lease of Marias River syndicate on
the Haskins farm in northeastern
Keyin-sunburst field.
Marias River Syndicate brought
suit TO force the royalty owners to
share IN the cost OF drilling opera
tons. Attorneys state that no pre-
cedent is created by the action, in
asmuch as the court decision Is
based solely on the theory that the
wording OF q deed given by J. N.
Thelen to Haskins did not make
the customary reservation Of 12M
per cent royalty free Of cost OF
production. The word Interests" is
Interpreted as participating interest
and the court dismissed the follow

effect.
After getting his deed, ,Haskins
proceeded TO sell the land with a
further reservation OF So royalty
but nhe deed was 30 worded as TO
leave doubt whether he actually

KESUN WINS
$4,000 CASE
In 10 YEARS

A decade of litigation was
ended this week I'm the supreme
court Of the United States when
the Kesun Oil company--succes-
sor TO the Gordon Campbell
Kelvin syndicate which drilled
the discovery well at Kelvin
won its litigation to recover
$4,000 from Federal Security
company OF Davenport, Iowa.
The court ruled that state courts
have authority 10 attach property
within their borders which belongs
to bankrupts whose affairs are being
settled by a court in another state.
this being the issue which took the
case into the highest tribunal.
While the expense Of the lttiga-
ton leaves q hollow victory FOR the
Kesun It gives satisfaction 70 Col.
Harry o. willard. president and
other officers Of the Kesun who
have fought the case since 1925
when the Gordon Campbell Petrol
cum company sued the Gordon
Campbell-Kevin Syndicate for S40s-
600 alleged TO have been loaned to
the syndicate.
In the trial Of the action, in
June, 1925, the Campbell corpora
ton was given judgment in the
sum OF $4,000, principal and in
terest. This was appealed to the
state supreme court and the judg-
ment was reversed. Bond had been
furnished in the sum OF $4,000
by Federal Surety company, cover
ing the attachment filed with the
instigation OF the suit. With the
reversal OF the Judgment in the
spring Of 1926 the @. C. X. syndi-
cate proceeded to collect the s10,-
900. A legal battle ensued IN which
the case was noIIe pressed in the
Fergus county district court. The
supreme court reversed the decision
of that court and ordered 8 new
trial at which Judgment was given
against Federal Surety company for
s10,0 together with interest which
amounted to about $4,000. That
was IN 1882.
Soon thereafter Federal Surety
company was declared bankrupt IN

FIVE ACTIVE
OPERATIONS
Uncut BANK

Two new locations announced in
Cut Bank field this week included
a north offset by the Montana
Power-O'Brien well now drilling
in SEA SEA 31-s4-5W and which
is an east offset TO the Tarrant-
Jones producers.
The north offset is the Tarrant-
Connolly, in NEA SEA 31-s4-5W.
Tarrant took this lease over from
a group OF Butte Investors who
secured a number Of leases in the
early days OF the field. Tarrant
expects a large well In this loca-
ton, since It Is slightly higher
than the Tarrant-Jones, an excel
lent producer. The O'Brien is
drilling at 1125 feet. Tarrant is
rigging up.
These are two of five active
operations in the field.
Olive On-winkler No. 3, CIVIL
NWM s5-35-6W, is spudding at
200. This Is a Katley crew and
after surface pipe has been run,
Katley viii move the crew over
to his Drumheller No. 1, NEK
NEA 10-s4-eW, and complete that
we'll. Another crew may be put
on the Wankier. later on.
The fifth operation Is the new
location south of Cut Bank, the
Gardner-Smith-Tweedy No. /, in
NEA MEX 36-5s-6W.

WATSON FINDS OIL IN MILLER WELL
Seek West
Extension,
Cut Bank

Prospects OF a new extension
to the Cut Bank oil field, in its
southwest dimension, were af-
forded this week by the spot
ting Of a well three and =
quarter miles south OF the south
city limits Of the town OF Cut
Bank.
Location is In new territory, over
two miles from production, in the
northeast corner OF Section 1888
SW, on decided land within the
Blackfeet Indian reservation.
The operator is the Gardner
Smith syndicate, which has already
moved some materials onto location
and is moving in the balance Of the
rig from the vicinity of Billings.
This is q new operator entering
Cut Bank field. Gardner has been
in Cut Bank for several weeks
looking for acreage. The well wiz
be known as the Gardner-Smith-
Tweedy No. i and the exact location
is $50 feet east OF the west line
and 40 feet north Of the south
line of Lot 1. Sec. s6-s3-6W.
The Texas company has consider
able acreage west of this location,
while Santa Rita Oil company has
the east offset. The north offset
is state land. Location Is near Cut
Bank creek and is the first well
west OF that stream. Production
at this point is expected to come
from a thick sand comparable with
that found at the Fulton well and
other wells in the extreme west end
Of the field in Township s4-6W,
since the sand thickens to the west.
While this location is three miles
east OF the westernmost producer,
the fact that the beach of the
ancient Cretaceous seacoast swings
eastward leads to the belief that the
sands thickens much more rapidly
in the west edge of this township.
It Is approximately two and half
miles from the location, northeast,
to the Montana Power-Neil producer
in 20-33-5W and about four miles
southeast to Texaco-State producer
in 16-32-5W.

The Watson well had considerable
gas which was used to fire the boiler
at 1000. The top OF the Cut Bank
sand was found at 2S1s and at
1920 oil began coming into the
hole. The crew shut down immed-
lately to cement pipe and drilling is
resuming this Saturday morning.
Two other wells, these on town
lots, are neck-and-neck in the race
to be the first 10 reach the pay
sands. The Jeffries-Lukens No. /
producer, although within the city
limits, is beyond the buildings OF the
town, but the Wickstrand- Simero
No. 1, Lot S, Blk. II. is In the
midst OF town, near the high school,

PROFESSORS PROTECTS

The proteges of the Harvard law professor, also figure largely in the personalities now glittering in the inner Washington limelight. The two most prominent are Tom Corcoran, youthful REC attorney, and Ben Cohen, PWA attorney.
 Corcoran, a co-author of the pub lie utility bill, enjoys not only an of ficial but social standing with the President. Gossip has it he is in line for a place on the White House secretariat when a vacancy occurs He was the center of the fight on the utility holding company bill.
 Cohen is credited with being the author of much of the bill to regu- late and destroy utility holding companies. The cause of the dead lock in conference on the measure, due to the fact that proponents of the death sentence" section insisted he be permitted to sit in as an ad- wiser, Cohen is disliked heartily by some members of Congress, but stands high at the White House.

WALLACE STILL HIGH

Those formerly considered as hay ing access to the presence of the Preident on matters of policy-Rex Tugwell, Donald Richberg, Ray Moley, ct al. are in the background at least for the moment.
 Secretary Wallace of the Depart ment of Agriculture, known as the philosopher of the New Deal still stands high in the graces of the President. The claimed success of AAA has brought him the admira- tion and confidence of the White House.
 Another man-Joseph Kennedy, chairman of the Securities and Ex- change commission, has earned the gratitude of the President. Kenne- dy's success in turning what if nanciers thought was an unwork- able law into one that works has won the applause of business men by helping to engineer revival of nearly lifeless investment markets.
 The youthful, working for mer college professor Charles West, new undersecretary Of the Interior ---is rated as "comerD in the New Deal family. He has been the prin- cipal liaison between the White House and Congress and is among the closest to the throne room"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.- With the major new deal' legislative proposals far enough along in Con- gress for talk of adjournment to be taken seriously, the inner circle of advisers to the White House in the working out of the admins tration's program is interesting.
 Perhaps the question asked most frequently among Washington poli- ticians is What man is closest to President Roosevelt?" The answer has varied many times during the past three years.
 Insiders, however, are pretty gen. erally agreed at the present that MT. Roosevelt's closest adviser on the problems of broad policy is the handsome, bespectacled Prof. Felix Frankfurter, Harvard law profes- sor. A frequent visitor to the White House and prolific correspondent he is credited with advocating the move of using tax powers to limit bigness in business. The professor
