Whereas no information is being

act becomes effective on Jan. 1.
If the well fails to get pro-

If the well gets production

have an SIN percent lease.
Casing was run during the past
week apparently to shut off caving
shales. 1t was a 1O% Inch string
and was not cemented. There is
a string of S-inch as well as g.
inch pipe on the rack. Water is
expected at the base of the Colo

Lifting themselves with their own
bootstraps, the Cut Bank producers
face a New Year with prospects
for a market for all the oil they
can produce in 1899 and in years
to come, as a result of market ex-
pansion. This market expansion re-
presents an investment on the part
of the operators themselves. Those
who have not paid from the nose"
such as in KevinISunburst and in
Pondera, are the only ones without
prospective markets.
One group made price concessions
and credit arrangements that made
possible the construction of a re-
finery at Pocatello, Idaho. Glacier
Production Co. made a large invest
ment in a plant at Spokane and au-
thorized a further investment in a
plant at Cut Bank. One other Cut
Bank producer financed a topping
plant at Spokane Price conces-
sions by another group brought
about the building of a plant at
Kahspell. Some of this same group
made it possible for a Lewistown
refinery to use Cut Bank rather
than Wyoming crude. Other pro-
ducers made possible the expansion
of a topping plant at Cut Bank.

Beta Kappa. That has remained
to this day the leading honorary
college fraternity. Since 1874 when
the first Negro was elected there
has been a steady gain, until today
there are 1876 Negro members.
Among these are Louis B. White of
the Iowa State University, Carlyle
Clark Of Drake University. Among
the first Negroes admitted was S.
Joe Brown of the Iowa State Uni
versity, admitted in 1898. He was
the tenth student to be admitted
in the United States.
Since 1876, little more than go
years, 1872 Negroes have received
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy,
Russell w. Brown of the State Col
lege at Ames, one of them. Ma
thaniel o. Galloway of the Iowa
State University is another.
One of the curious facts brought
out by the records of the World
War period is that more Negroes
relatively were accepted and sent
abroad than whites. The record
reads:
''The per cent of reflections of
those examined was greater for
white registrants than for Negro
registrants. OF those examined,
7O.41 per cent of the whites and
74.6O per cent of the Negroes were
accepted. The number of Negroes
finally indicted into the service
was 367,710. The number accepted
for full military service was 342,-
PIT. OF the total registrants 1884
per cent of the whites and 31.74
per cent of the Negroes were &C
cepted for full military service"
Of course fitness for war would
be more physical than mental, and
the same qualities that promise to
give Louis the world champion
ship as prize fighter are the ones
that gave his friends front place
in our armies abroad. But there
has to be something more than
mere physical alertness in Louis
and there had to be something
more than that in the soldiers OF
the World War.
The part of the Negro in music
has been made much of in these
later days when the Negro spiri-
tuals have been so widely recog-
