AREA OF POSSIBLE
FLOWING WELLS WILL
BE- TESTED BY COBB

Announcement of another we'll OF
the north flank OF Cut Bank oil
field, ON a monoclinal nose de
fined by core drilling, was made
this week by A. B. Cobb, Cut Bank
oil operator. Rig materials were
moved out during the past week
and the we'll will be drilled as
quickly as possible, using cable
tools.
Location of the we'll is in the
center of the NE u MEL Sec. 30
37-4W, between the Yukon-Jacob-
son discovery well on North Cut
Bank and the Border-Red COulee
oil field.
The structure on which this we'll
is located is said to be more clearly
defined than the north ''nose" on
which the Jacobson we'll was drill
ed. The latter came in a flowing
well but developed water when
drilled deeper. 1t is still rated as
a 20-barrel pumper. 1t is three
miles west and one mile north of
the Cobb location.
The so-called East Nose" Is
entirely held under lease by Cobb,
Glacier Production company and
Warren Hastings of Portland. Ore,
Independent. operator. Hastings has
extensive holdings in Pondera Oil
field where he has been very sue
cessful. He is responsible for the
development of the East nose,
having interested Cobb in the dis.
trfct. Glacier Production company
contributed acreage, including the
we'll site 100 acres, a lease on
land belonging to the State OF Mon
tana. The royalties from this well
will go to the school funds of the
state.
The structure is regarded as high
ly promising by Gail F. Moulton,
former chief geologist OF Montana
Power Gas Co., under whose super
vision the core drilling was done. |
At that time he declared that larg-
est Cut Bank production is likely |

ditions such as this one. where the |

terminate all its purchases in north

Imperial has stored enough oil so
that, with its Turner Valley crude

TALENT FOR MUSIC

Through tests devised by psycholo-
gists, many interesting and useful facts
have been discovered concerning the apti-
tude of child for various pursuits. If
the information developed by these tests be
practically applied, much time otherwise
devoted to training for activities for which
the child is naturally unsuited may be saw
ed
It is now possible, according to Prof.
Seashore of Iowa University, to positively
determine the musical talent possessed by
any child, even before he begins the study
of music The sense of pitch, time, conson-
| ance, intensity and others may each be de-
termined with mathematical accuracy.
Practical experiments have demon
strated that person may have high sense
of pitch, with a poor sense of time, and SO
on. Only when all the elements of the must
cal mind are acute do we find real talent.
When these purely musical elements are
combined with a high class of intelligence
the foundation for an exceptional musician
is found.
Contrary to general belief, aptitude
for music cannot be developed by training
It must be Unborn. A child with poor sense
of pitch at the age of eight will have a poor
sense of pitch all his life, no matter how
much he may study and practice. The same
is true of the sense of time and the rest
Training only develops that which is pos
sessed at birth. A realization of these facts
would save much useless torture for music
students and those'who must listen to them,
if facilities for making the tests were
available.
Prof. Seashore declares that no at
tempt should be made to force an unmusi-
cal child to learn music, as the result must
be disappointing to all concerned. He says
it is a tragedy to drive an unmusical boy
to practice several hours day on violin,
while at the same time you may be ruin
ing perfectly good mechanic, or archi-
tect, or second baseman'

MERRY CHRISTMAS

The Citizen takes this opportunity to
extend to its readers and friends hearty
good wishes for the Christmas season.
We hope that all of them will find that
Christmas, 1887, surpasses other occasions
in happiness, good feeling, joy and love.
Surely, all of us have much reason to be OF
good cheer and little or no reason for not
sharing it with those among whom we live.
To our younger readers, the boys and
girls who are looking eagerly for the gifts
that Santa Claus will bring, we extend es-
pecial greetings. May Christmas day find
them overjoyed with the pleasant surprises
that can hardly be duplicated among the
experiences of life.

HARD TIMES CANNOT KILL
OPPORTUNITIES

The man or woman, engaged in BUSH
ness in Key West, who is content to face
the present, waiting idly for new wave
of prosperity to sweep profits into view, is
doomed to disappointment.
Hard times, real or imaginary, are
not barriers to opportunity. Fortunes have
been made by alert individuals, quick to
realize that different days demand read
justment in business The old habits may
have to be abandoned Initiative must re-
place inactivity.
The year 1888 will soon begin. The
lost opportunities of 1887 might as well
be forgotten. The task ahead of every
individual engaged in earning living is to
take advantage of experience, reshape
plans and make money in 1888.
Business, whether of agriculture or in
dustry or commerce, must make money to
grow 1t is time for every reader of this

FINANCING JAPAN

Japan is financing its warfare in
China, it seems, largely by the shipment of
gold to the United States, where the yellow
metal brings $50 an ounce. Proceeds are
usually converted into sterling exchange,
used to bolster the yen in the markets of
the world.
Since March, 1887. the Japanese have
shipped more than 1888. 000,O 900 worth OF
gold into the United States. The high
price that we pay for bullion has been a
help to the brown men in the financing OF
their undeclared war.

Our experience with cotton may be
cited to show the workings Of crop
control. The producers OF cotton we're

crop caused the price to rise. both
here and abroad. The higher price
stimulated foreign production. and at
the present time. according to Secre-
tary Wallace. the supply Of foreign
cotton is ten million bales greater
than it was in 1892. And now Il ap-
pears that. Notwithstanding the re-
duced demand for American cotton
due to the great increase in foreign
production, we shall have this year
the second largest cotton crop in our
history. AS a result the price OF cot

price is due, of course. partly to the

It is worth noting that our large

that crop curtailment through re-
duced acreage is lot always effective.
