KENOSHA, Wis. - Joe Louis
could enter the ring with Brad
dock, Max Schmeling or any other
fighter today and do justice by
himself. and it is this fact that
worries his handlers. Manager Ju-
liam, Black admitted Sunday that
his Bomber had arrived too soon.
s'Wey wanted Joe to get, into condi-
stion, but. not too early" Black and
Roxborough told reporters after
the Bomber had worked with five
sparnates in the broiling. sun.
And as things shape up now
this is somewhat of a problem for
the Louis handlers to solve. Joe

has not reach perfection in punch
ing, but his physical condition is
perfect. The big fellow, down to
199 pounds Sunday, has no storn-
ach, is as hard as a rock and gets
about the ring like a youngster of
early teens.
Already Fit
When Joe Louis entered camp
he was, not far off his usual phys
ical standard. He had just re-
turned from a long tour of the
country, and also had engaged in
a fight with Matte Brown not long
before. Thus when he got down
to real training he did not have
much to do to perfect his physical
fitness. a
Sunday the Bomber was vicious
with his mates, Seal Harris, Saliva
tore Rigorello, George Hicks and
two others. Eight knockdoWns
were recorded during the day and
not one of the eight falls were to
be questioned. The men simply
went to the canvas with a .thud
and remained there until lifted to
their feet.

DELAYS BAKER
COMPLETION

Completion of Montana Da.
kota Utilities company's sec
ond oil we'll on Baker-Glen-
dive anticline was delayed this
week by the necessity of drill
ing out a cone which was lost
in the hole while under-ream-
ing. This proved slow work, as
the metal is very hard. Drill
ing with oil instead of drill
ing mud, the company expects
slow progress in drilling thru
the producing formation and
a completion is not expected
until the latter part of next
week. That the we'll will be
a commercial producer is de-
established but the
volume of flow will not be
known until the formation is
drilled.

GAS LINE Bill Is
KILLED BY HOUSE

BY a vote of 81 to 21 the house
of representatives of the state leg
isature turned down H. B. 1877
which would have made OF all gas
lines public utility carriers. The
fight against the bin was success
fully carried onto the floor OF the
house.
The measure introduced by Repre-
sentative Minette of Cut Bank, on
behalf OF north Montana oil opera
tors, providing for a processing tax
of 2la cents per barrel on oil re
fined in the state, was killed in
committee on Minette's motion.
The measure is intended to collect

southern Montana refiners who use

WELL MAKING
70 BARRELS

Producing steadily at the rate
of 10 barrels per day, r. c. Tarrant's
Thayer producer on Mosser dome is
proving a highly profitable oil we'll.
1t is only 1000 feet deep and has
an instant market at the Yale re-
finery at Billings. which Is within
trucking distance of Mosser oil field
The Thayer is one of two pro-
ducing wells on the shallow struc-
ture. The Moser No. 2 has not yet
been put on production because the
casing must be re-cemented and the
crew has been unable to do this
work, owing to the cold and snoFl'
Ais drilling operations have b.

completion OF hhe EsteiandI we'll on
Cottonwood structure. This hole
was but 400 feet deep, reaching the
Dakota sandstone. 1t carried water
which flowed.
Tarrant has completed five wells.
Three had oil in commercial quanti-
les although the first was ruined
by water invasion. A fourth Is a
commercial gas we'll and the fifth
a water well. Three structures
along the great Fromberg fault
have thus been tested and there
are several other folds to be drilled
in the spring. Tarrant expects a
settled production of 100 barrels
or better from the two oil wells.

LEGISLATURE
VERY FAIR TO
OUR INDUSTRY

with the state legislature
session drawing 10 close,
the Montana oil and mining in-
dustry has no severe COM
plant over legislation passed,
nor were there amy battles
of consequence.
The only pending matter Fri
day was the proposed severence tax
on natural gas, which was given
a hearing before a senate commit
tee Friday morning. The measure
passed the house but it Is consid-
cred improbable that it will pass
the senate. The state constitution
is very specific in providing the
manner in which mines shall be
vided and inasmuch as oil and gas
wells have repeatedly been held
as mines, under the Montana con-
stitutfon, there is little chance, at
torneys say, that such a tax can
be enacted and held constitutional.
The Objectionable H. B. 176, and
substitutes providing that mining
and oil operators would have to
post bond in the amount of wages
for men before starting any mine or
well. were killed in the senate.
H. B. NO. z providing for diver
sion of automobile license fee funds
to the city of Anaconda was kill
ed in the senate.
H. B. 1877, for control of natural
gas pipe lines as public utilities,
was killed in the house.
A trucking bill of Importance to
the oil industry, H. B. 1853, will not
interrupt ordinary trucking in the
industry
H B $40 declaring refiners, whole
salers and retailers of. gasoline al
public utility, was killed by the
house. This was an administration |
measure.

5 cents per barrel actually cost the
Montana refiners only 21s cents
and the cut in pipeline rate actu-
ally benefits the buyer and not the
seller of the oil.
There are conflicting theories re-
garding the crude market in the
'Thot stove councils of northern
Montana. There is some rumor that
the price of crude is to be adjusted
to conform with MidcOntinent prices.
1t is assumed that this will mean,
in turn, that the refinery price of
gasoline will be reduced to the
Midcontinent levels and gasoline
prices at retail will be reduced pro-
portionately.
There are many who favor this
plan, arguing that 1t will make it
possible for Montana gasoline to
compete in the open market with
all points as far east as pipeline
competition at Minneapolis and as
far west as water transportation
competition, stabilizing the Montana
oil industry for all time.
Opponents to revision of the
price structure In Montana insist
that were the price of Montana
crude cut in half, it would afford

It follows that the continuation OF

of congress after minor disagree
ments are settled, he said. While
all congressman do not agree on the
methods, he declared they are in
accord as to the objectives to be
obtained by the two bills. They
are, in his opinion, the two main
planks in the New Deal program.
The main object TO be gained by
the farm bill is to take care of
surplus production so there will
be something available to carry the
country over the lean years and at
the same time guarantee the farmer
the cost of production and margin
OF profit
We have philosophy today" the
congressman continued. I'VE did not

President Roosevelt realized that
two thirds of the people are better
off than ever before One third of
the people, however, must be aid
ed. The condition of this one third
OF the population threatens to throw
the whole system off balance ana
pull the prosperous two thirds down
to the level of the one third The
plan Is to increase the purchasing
power of the lesser portion of the
population and bring it up to a
better degree of prosperity so it
may purchase the products of the
farmer.
BY regulating the hours SO more
persons may have employment and
raising the wage level, the produc-
tive masses in the cities may buy
what the farmer grows"
