The dog ordinances of Milford are
seemingly a dead letter." Night af-
ter night is made hideous by their
barking and bowling and fights in
the street. Cannot our city fathers
afford that relief and rest which the
laborer needs and which the sick de-
mands?

RENEW FIGHT
TO GET Rail
RATES DOWN

Another fight to get Montana out
OF the mo man land" classification
or railroad rates Is to be waged
on June at a hearing of the rail-
way commission at Helena. accord
ing to L. C. Jones, traffic manager
of the Independent Petroleum Traf-
fic Association, who will appear for
all Montana oil producers and re-
finers, as well as other shippers.
A recent increase of 10 per cent
in interstate rates was granted to
railroads but the Montana board
heretofore refused to grant the in
creases in Montana on the grounds
that Montana rates are already out
OF line with those of adjacent
states. AS an example. the present
rates in North Dakota, with the 10
per cent increase, is less than pres
ent rates in Montana, without the
1917 increase.
Three times the railroads have
made an effort to increase intra-
state rates in Montana and have
each time failed because Montana
interstate rates have been so far
out OF line, according to Mr. Jones.
Montana refiners have always fought
the handicap Of lower rates from
outside points than those between |
Montana points. II they can defeat
the proposed 10 per cent increase
in intrastate rates at this time, they |
will help to equalize the differentials
which have formerly mitigated a
gainst local industries.

CA IpAIGH TO
CONTINUE on

Decision to continue the cam
paign to promote the use of Mon
tana-made gasoline was reached at
an enthusiastic rally of the Lions
Club in Shelby Tuesday night. with
majority of the operator-refin-
er sponsors present.
The campaign inaugurated for a
six months period began in De-
cember and reports at the Shelby
rally indicated that consumption of
Montana-made gasoline increased a
million gallons per month over the
corresponding period of 1887, large
ly as a result of the campaign.
A map displayed by Secretary l..
r. Hannah of the committee show
ed that 80 counties have been
pledged to use only Montana-made
gasoline. There remains the further
important work of getting federal
projects within the state to use
Montana-made gasoline. 1t is agreed

GREAT RAIN
BOGS DOWN
OIL DRILLERS

Torrential rains that brought
smiles to farmers of northern Mon
tana made quagmires out of oil
field roads during the past week
slowing drilling activity to snail's
pace. For two days traffic was
virtually halted in Kevin-Sunburst,
as a steady dOwn-pour brought the
greatest total precipitation Toole
county has known in many years.
Two wells drilled to the top of
the lime, getting the customary
showings of oil, and both shut
down to wait for the acid crews.
A. Beardslee drilled his Swears

to the top of the lime, at 1857
feet, drilling in three feet to 1850
before registering a completion.
Like other wells in this area it
had a small showing. With acidiza-
tion these wells jump to from 20
to 100. barrels per day.

In an Interview with c. o. Rlson.
general manager OF I. T. l. O.. Mr..
Rison said we will deepen the
well down to the Madison lime. We
are now in production in the Da-
kotas at around $500 feet. Our
plans are to be ready to start drill
ling May IS to June 1st."
This field was promoted and drill
ling resulted from the activities OF
the late George Ryburn who had.
until his death a few weeks since,
an all abiding faith in heavy produc-
ton at a lower level. Many geolo-
gists and oil men are OF the same
opinion. as was Mr.. Ryburn and the
I. T. l. o. officials.
Correlating the structure as near
as possible with the available in
formation should be topped at
around 400 feet in the new drill
ling The base of the Chugwater
and red beds should be encountered
at around $500. While there is a
posslDlllLy or commercial production
in the Ellis-Sundance there should
be light oil production in the Embar
lime at around $500 feet. Topping
the Embar. which is not a thick
formation. the TensIeep and Ans
den combined into local designa-
ton as Quadrants. are encounter
ed before topping the Madison lime
at around $500 feet. To encounter
the pay in the base OF the Madison
may require a drilling depth to
Z 900 feet.
This well will undoubtedly test
he six possibilities below the now
producing Dakotas. The two Hepp
wells in Big Lake field have been
SO bbls. per day the past
i've years. These wells came in
'ome is years ago at 1875 bbls.

FIND JOKER
INT AxLAWON
ROYALTIES

Discovery that someone in the
last legislature put over" a. Joker
on Montana landowners who are re-
ceiving royalty earnings came to
light this week with compilation of
tax figures by the state board of
equalization covering net proceeds
taxes on royalties.
The matter was brought to light
by T. c. Ferris of the Douglas VIII
son-Ferris company, public account
ants of Great Falls. The Joker" in
the 1887 tax act eliminated the pro-
vision that 275 per cent OF the
royalty earnings might be deducted
to cover depletion, which is in
keeping with the theory OF met
proceeds. No provision is made for
depletion under the present working
OF the statute.
How the matter was overlooked
by the farmer members OF the leg
islature, who are primarily inter
ested in this tax, is not now ex-
planned. Organized effort will re-
suit, to have the depletion provi-
sion restored to the state law. De-
pletion is allowed under income tax
laws on the theory that as oil is
removed from the ground. the value
is depleted until It becoms nil, and
the taxpayer is willing to pay tax
es on any profits that may accrue
above the accepted depletion fig
ure. But under the Joker" pro-
vision Of the net proceeds tax. the
taxpayer is deprived OF the 'snet
proceeds feature on which the tax
Is based.

JORDAN WELL
IS GOODFOR
$50 BARRELS

Early drilling of offsets to the
new Santa Rita-Jordan producer in
NV u NEH 1S-32-5W, in south Cut
Bank oil field, Is expected to boost
production of that field, as some
large production may be expected,
according to operators ia the South
Bend pool.
The Jordan well actually made
80 barrels in initial production, il
is understood, and it rated as l5O-
barrel producer. 1t is a one-mile
south extension to the Big Bend
pool and it Is offset on the west
and northwest by Tribal lands
which call for early drilling, A
diagonal northeast offset will be
required of The Texas company on
its Bonnet farm in SEX SEA
and thereafter will follow a series
of offsets which with those to the
west will run into nine wells for
the present year.
No wells were started this week
because the Jordan we'll is located
on the river bottom, in bad land
country that cannot be reached in
wet weather.
One completion, a good average
well. was recorded during the
week, by Glacier Production Co.

Mildred is an eighth grade stu
dent and a good one and she would
like in whatever way she can, to
help her mother and her six broth
ers and sisters to ease the financial
strain on a family desolated by
death
Then Mildred found that the
Shelby Lions Club was offering
prizes for the best essays by grade
school children on why Montanans
should use Gasoline Made from
Montana Crude' She wrote an
essay, the very best she knew how,
and sent it in.
After that, Mildred knelt by her
bed every night and prayed that
she might win one of the first three
prizes or one of the 10 honorable
mention awards.
And today Mildred's prayers will
be answered for this morning she
will receive an official looking en-
velope from the Shelby Lions Club
and in it will be a check for $500
first prize in the State wide Contest.
Mrs. Anderson was informed last
week that Mildred had won and
tears came to her eyes when they
told her-but she promised to keep
it a secret.
The papers we're Identified only

know the name, address, age, sex
