When Mr.. Ross and his civic
minded wife launched the move
ment to build a maternity wing on
the new State hospital and pay
for it out of the pockets Of the
citizens, Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan
naturally poohpoohed the notion
"The State is putting up the
hospital, let the State pay for the
whole thing" Mr.. Morgan stated
From the jubilent camp Of the
Roses came the taunt: Morgan
is an old Skinflint."
FIRES OF HATRED
The fires of hatred were thus
famed. Tom Morgan was a stub
born man. The more he was op.
posed the more firmly he set his
chin. His wife and Mrs. Ross got
so they wouldn't speak.
Tom Morgan may have ranked
under the undeserved opprobrium
Of his fellow citizens, but if he did
no one would have known it. Red
Mesa was a prosperous little town,
the trading center Of q rich sheep
and cattle raising country, and
Toms City Savings Bank which
he had built up from humble be-
ginnings was VIGOROUSLY a money
maker. He stood his ground and
the maternity wing went up with.
out a penny from him.
All this crossfire of jealousy,
rivalry and hatred left the two boy
chumS completely unconcerned.
They had a rivalry Of their own,
but a friendly one. Both were
Boy Scouts, and when Tommy
Morgan won the priced Eagle
Scout emblem a month ahead of
jamie Ross, Jamie was just as
chagrined as his chum was.
The Scout code of "a good deed
every day" had been well drilled
into the youngsters and they took
it seriously.
They were constantly on the
lookout to perform what services
they could. So, one busy Saturday
afternoon in Red Mesa when they
observed an old woman making
her way across Main Avenue with
a great deal Of trouble they i'm.
mediately made haste to her
assistance.

all formations to and including the top of the Madison lime
Three wells have been drilled Broadview but they have
gone deeper than the Frontier formation All encountered
shows of oil and gas.
Murray Brothers have been responsible for the develop

the south, is the program at TIA
Der, in southern Alberta, east of
Lethbridge, where the discov-

1t is reported that the proper

ceased until the well is MAX

large quantity Of water. The
fact that the oil was relatively
low gravity, combined with the
fact that water intrusion came
quickly, indicates to Montana

is in fact an "edgeY well and
locations farther south may be

Montana scouts returning from
Del Bonita in southern Alberta re-
port that the Sunshine well has ex-
celIent prospects for commercial pro-
duction through acidizatiOn, hav-
ing a good showing of light green
oil.
The first oil found at the top
of the Madison lime was dark and
thick. II was drilled deeper and
high gravity green oil which cor
responds to the Cut Bank crude be-
gan coming in. After standing two
weeks there was several hundred
feet OF fluid in the hole including
some water that the owners believe
Is coming from above. The well was
cased on the Sunburst sand, after
which a liner was run. It developed
that the liner was run too soon,
leaving open hole which is believed
responsible for the water invasion.

Two gas wells fires in northern
Montana have been extinguished In
the last few days.
One well near Hawre belonging
to Independent Natural Gas Co. was
apparently set on fire by a visitor
to the well which Is not connected
onto the Havre gas line owing TO
low pressure. Once on fire it burn
ed out the stutfing box and began
shooting a flame so feet into the
air. This well, drilled in q fault
or ffssure has a volume of $780,
600 cubic feet per day from 400
feet, but the rock pressure is only
100 pounds. A crew Of the INDIE
pendent Natural Gas Co., snu61ed
out the flame.
The burning well on Bowdoin
dome. known as the Cabbage weld,
has been snuffed out. A gas leak
at this old we'll was set ATTIRE by
sparks from a passing locomotive.

Nation Makes Universal Response to Anti= Para-

New York, N. Y, Jan 29-More than 5000 parties are in prospect for the nationwide celebration of the Presidents Birthday on January 30, Colonel Henry L. Doherty, chair man of the National Committee for the fourth time, said today as final plans for this years drive against infantile paralysis were drawn up.
 The organization of parties of all sorts and descriptions from the country dances in the Virginia mountains to the shinning propriety of the social event at the Waldorf in New York, Is so much further advanced this year the National Committee hopes for a much larger contribution to the anti-paralysis war chest. During the past three years more than $3,DO0, 900 has been collected through the medium of the Birthday Ball.
 As last year, the funds. collected on January 30, will be divided in the proportion of 70 and 30 per cent the larger percentage going to- ward the rehabilitation of victims of infantile paralysis in the comInuni- ties where the parties are held. Thirty per cent will be presented to President Roosevelt to be turned over to the Warm Springs Founda- tion for the national battle against pcliomyelitjs.

 Quick work by firemen last night resulted in a threatening fire in the rear of the Leopold Furniture Go, Il Grand street being extin- guished in short order. Firenen had the blaze extinguished in % minutes, despite the fact that when they arrived flames were shooting up the sidewalks and through the roof of the furniture company's gar- age and shipping room.

The fire damaged 8 truck which had been parked in the garage and also damaged considerable amount of stock.
 No estimate had been made to- day of the amount of damage done by fire which yesterday noon broke out at the confectionery store and newsstand of Joseph Ta- jildeen at East Main and Cherry streets. Flames from buning niaga- zines and papers swept through the frame structure. -
