Adding several thousand
acres to the proven area OF
Cut Bank oil field Patterson.
Chatterton well in Sc SEN
NEH 22-32-6W, three miles
southwest of nearest produc-
ton, IS today a commercial
producer, rated from rs to IS
barrels per day.
With 10 feet of saturation
in the Cut Bank sand, and no
show of water, rhis we'll indi-
Gates that producing territory
may extend even farther west
ward into the Blackfeet In
dian reservation. There is lit
tie other than tribal lands be-
tween the Big Bend pool and
the new producer.
The Chatterton well bot
toms at 1924 feet. 1t had sat
uration from 1905 to 33l5
and oil rose 900 feet. 1t swab-
bed 90 barrels in "A hours. It
was shot with nitro glycerin.
and is now cleaning out. If
the shot helped, it is expected
to make IS barrels or more.
This we'll is most remark
able in that it is producing
from an elevation of 461 feet
above sea level, contoured on
the Ellis, as compared with |
910 feet above sea level in
the principal producing area,
$50 feet down the west flank
of the Sweetgrass Arch.
The oil is 30.7 gravity, dark
brown in color, as compared |
with 38 gravity oil in the main
field. It is said to be similar
in other respects, being par
lffin base oil.
An early sale of tribal lands
IS expected since most of the
ands around the well are OPP

Willie Lee Lumpkin, for a numher

mentioned as a possible candidate for
lieutenant governor since the 1891

Mr.. Lumpkin did not talk as

though he rcfrained from making apv
commitment at this time, merely saw
ing he would announce within the
month just what course he would
take.
There nave pcen suggestions that
he would run for the State House
again from Franklin county, with a
view to assuming a sort of leader
ship of the party's interests in the
lower branc hof the legislature. It
has been suggested that this would be
more probable in the event DR.. r. w

AMATEURS
COMING THURSDAY
Prize Winners of Well
Known Radio Hour to
Play at Stevenson.

Sixteen simon pures from as many
states and all walks of life, who grid
cd their loins and dared the fatal
gong on Major Edward Bowes' Sun
day Night Amateur broadcast and
Fame through with flying colors,
come in person to Henderson and the
stage of the Stevenson Theatre Thurs
day, January for one day only.
Students, pan;s presscrs, teachers.
truck drivers and some without jobs
of any kind. drove in state or thumb
cd their ways to New York's Radio
City and fame. All with special tall
cnt but no outlet for it, faced a criti-
cal audience in the National Broad
casting Studios, and with a song on
tkSir lips and prayer in their hearts
gave of their wares. There was no
gong for the aggregation Of amateur
prizewinners coming to Henderson.
Instead. the nation showered them
with praises by telephone and telc-
graph. and now, without their ambi-
ton realized, they come to meet in
person those who have known them
merely as phantom voices.
According to S. S. Stevenson of the
Stevenson Theatre, a group of per-
formers purporting to be winners of
the Major Bowes' hour have been
playing this and other communities,
but he states that this is the only au-
thentic Major Bowes Company to
play in Henderson and vicinity.
Among those amateur entertainers
to appear are, Gloria Rich, toe tap
dancer and rhythm singer; Byrl King
vibraphonist; George Gargullo, bari
tone; The Harmonica Kings; Georgia
Lee, Chinese Crooner; James Erick-
son, accordianist; Margaret Coleson,
Iowa beauty and blues singer.
In addition to this unusual stage
attraction the Stevenson offers it's
regular screen entertainment.

DeploredB By
People Here
Crop Control "A { t
Has H a d Nearly
L unanimous Sup
port From Vance
Farmers.

Notification of the Roosevelt adj
ministration's agricultural adjustment
program was deplorcd on all sides
hcrehcre today. following the decision
of the United States Supreme Court
Monday. in which the entire AAA
set-up was held to be unconstitution-
al Leaders were studying and discus
sing the possible effect Of the action,
and on every side there was a con-
fidence that some new plan would be
worked out. and also a keen realiZa-
ton of the benefits that have ac-
crued to agriculture as the result. and
the necessity for a continuation OF
the program.
That the AAA crop control pro-
grams have been great benefit to
agriculture in this particular locality
as we'll as over the whole country
appeared to be the unanimous Opin-
ion here. The AAA was given full
credit for the lift in prices of tobacco
and cotton. and especially tobacco
which is the hicf money crop Of this
section. Higher prices for both crops
have in the past two years virtually
banishcd the depression and it's eff
fccts in this territory.
j. w. Sanders. county farm agent
who has directed all AAA crop CON
troll programs in this county since the
plan was inauguratcd said today he
had been advised to discontinue all
activities on adjustment contracts
and to incur no further expenses
This meant the loss of jobs to the
office force here that has had steady
employment in carrying on the crop
control work in this county.
In this county the benefits of the
program have been felt kccnly. Here
also the effect of the cotton process
ing tax has been felt by the large
textile interests located in Henderson
But the befeits have reached virtually
the etire community in the higher
prices for tobacco and cotton, and it
is the effect on these that is causing
extreme worry on all sides, and in
spring a confident hope that some
remedy can be found and found
quickly for carrying on the programs.

SOUTH CAROLINA
| SOLE DISTRICT
TO SHOW LOSS
Tax Payments Reveal Drop
in Receipts of Nearly
100000.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April South
Carolina, Treasury officials re-
vealed today, was the only one of
IS revenue districts that has failed
to show an improvement in the cur
rent fiscal year.
Income tax payments for the
three-quarter period of 1886, end
ing March 81, revealed receipts
from South Carolina dropped al
most 100000 from the same period
last year.
On the basis of receipts of 81
258,834 compared with $2.412,563 at
the same date in the 1885 fiscal
year year, it was expected that
South Carolina would be the only
state to fall below 1895 payments.
Analysis of returns showed about
so per cent of income tax collections
came from the states cotton textile
business. The decrease was at
tributed to a decline in that indus
try.
Corporation Payments Lapse
South Carolina cotton manufac-
.turers' payments represented
greater proportion of income tax
payments than in any other textile
state, officials said
Treasury officials pointed out that
South Carolina had shown an I'M
usual return to prosperity in 1884
and 1885, with huge percentage of
increase of revenue over each pre-
yious year.
Economists said lapse in cor
poration payments had caused
deficiency that might possibly be
made up before the complete books
for the fiscal year are totalled at
it's close on June 80.
Up to the three-quarter mark OF
the current fiscal year. New York
state paid almost one-third of the
nations total with $306, 234 1913.
South Carolina contributed the
smallest share, $454,1 72.'

UTILITIES SEEK
WAY TO AVOID
DEATH CLAUSE
Exchange of Subsidiaries Is
Studied as Possible
Remedy.
BY w. IAN MACK
Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, April major pub
lie utility systems today were re-
ported to be negotiating with each
other for the exchange or sale Of
non-integrated operating subsidia.
ries so that they might be immu.
nized against enforced dissolution
under the holding company acts
death clause" provision.
These discussions are designed
primarily TO fortify the companie!
against the eventuality of an adj
verse Supreme Court ruling in theil
contest on the statutes constitu.
tionality.
On the other hand. despite g
growing conviction among executives
that the law inevitably will be in
validated because of allegedly radi-
cal restrictions imposed upon com
panies generally, a number of bar
ter conversations are proceeding or
the premise that resultant deals are
logical maneuvers that should be
reflected in substantial operating
economies.
Systems Mum on Plans
Their concomitant, it was indi-
Gated, should be betterment in the
ration of net income to capitaliza-
tons and valuations.
Just what projects are in con-
temptation, however, could not be
ascertained, holding company Of
ficials preferring to remain uncom-
municative on the subject. But in
banking circles usually identified
with utility financing, it was de-
veloped that proposals respecting
property exchanges are receiving
serious consideration with holding
companies surveying the national
power map to determine to what
extent their system could be more
completely integrated by such deals.
Many Problems to Overcome
Virtually all of the 2O-odd prin-
cipal holding companies, well-in-
formed sources implied, would well
come arrangements that might re-
suit in the creation of closely knit
systems, but the exercising extreme
caution in executing plans thus far
developed.
That they are justified in their
hesitancy is evidenced by the fact
the industry as whole represents
an investment of more than $12,-
500,000,000, a considerable pro-
portion of which would be affected
by the negotiations.
Innumerable problems present
themselves in programs involving
even the smallest of properties.
These include, among other factors,
earnings, rates, funded debt, junior
capitalization, valuation and those
broader economic and financial in
fluences relating to rate contro-
versies, pressure for municipal own
ership, duration of franchises, po-
tentialities of the consuming terri
tory with respect to domestic, in
dustrial and commercial consump-
ton and taxation uncertainties.
