the entire grand jury procedure. Counsel for Alderman Thomas P. Kelly, George H. Kingsley of New York, William B. Murray of New York, John Meaney of New York and Simon J. Alderman of New Ha- ven have already taken the initial steps.
 Defendants Not Present
 Defendants will not necessarily at- tend the court session tomorrow, for there will be no proceedings with the exception of setting dates for ar guments on the motions filed. Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn indicated a short time ago that he would be ready to answer the mo- tions within three days after they were filed.
 There is possibility, however, that there will be a hearing on Thomas P. Kelly's quo warranto proceedings, which question the right of Alcorn to direct the local Investigation.
 Attacks on the secrecy of the grand jury Investigations which re- suited in their arrests are prominent in motions to quash which were filed Saturday in the. superior court by four of the defendants. The four, George H. Kingsley, William B. Mur- ray and John Meaney, New York auditors; and Simon J. Alderman of New Haven, charge that the pro- cesdings were not in accord with the rules of secrecy which were laid down by the statutes.
 s9 Alderman Motion
 The motion to quash filed by At torney George Crawford for Alder man charges, Said alleged grand jury permitted sundry persons pur- porting to be special states attor- neys and their investigators and also other persons to be present in its sessions and to participate in its proceedings, and also permitted said persons SO to be present without be- ing sworn to keep said proceedings in secrecy" A similar charge is made in the motion filed for the three New York auditors by Attor- ney Benjamin Slade of New Haven.
 Many of the claims made by Thomas P. Kelly who was granted a writ of quo warranto against Hugh M. Alcorn on Friday, are incorpor- ated in the motions filed Saturday.

For the year ending June 80.
1887, the proceeds from taxes paid
by the oil industry were as follows:
For the Greater University s 47,O5S
For Counties $265,125
For State Schools $352,920
The Montana School fund has re-
ceived over $2.225,OOO in rentals
and royalties from this industry.
Thus, fromS these figures which
have just been quoted II is easily
seen that the Industry, indirectly, is
one Of the greatest aids possible,
in the education, and the financing
OF the educational systems for the
State OF Montana.

The new well is a half mile west

the fault at that point. passing
through from the high side TO the
low side of q fault that stands at an
angle of AZ degrees. The fault was
discovered by trenching, 500 feet

encounter the second Cat Creek

The well is known as the Brun-

SANTA RITA
CUTS MELON
Of $4,000

Santa Rita Oil company, oDexat-
ing in Cut Bank oil field, this week
announced q dividend of IN cents
per share to its stockholders Of
record September IS, payable
October 1.
This is the initial dividend Of
this pioneer Cut Bank operating
company and means the distribu-
ton Of approximately $4,000.
Santa Rita was organized by
L. B. O'Neil to develop Cut Bank
oil properties soon after he turned
his gas properties to Montana Pow
er Gas Co., and is one Of the three
largest lease owners in Cut Bank
field. Considerable stock was sub
scrfbed by Montana people who
we're given opportunity to partfci-
pate in the development of the
new pool regarding which little
was known at the time.
Good luck combined with good
judgment and good oil field prac-
tice has swiftly developed Santa
Rita into one of the most success
full Independent oil companies in
Montana. It has developed about
2 900 barrels of daily production
for which it has a market in its
refinery, the Northwest
Refining Co.
At a time when Santa Rita was
about to start paying dividends
from oil sales the development OF
the Turner Valley oil field was
foreseen by the officers of Santa
Rita and money intended for divi-
lends were diverted into the con-
struction two years ago OF the
J, 500-barrel refinery under sub
sidiary company incorporated as
Northwest Refining CO. Santa Rita
contracted to sell its own production
o the Northwest at S1.10 per barrel.

YOUNG ACES VIE.
FOR ROCK CREEK.
COLF|NG HONORS'
BY Lillian RIXEY

Notable feature Of the mid-Sum-
mer tournament at Rock Greek
Park, the first round Of which was
scheduled for today, is the fact
that the majority Of the IL con-
testants are youngsters scarcely
out of their teens. In addition, sew
eral of the top qualifiers are Rock
Greek attendants.
Medalist yesterday, with 72, was
curly-headed Bobby Bowers, who is
Manager Harry Graham'S right
hand man in the golf shop. Ora
hams son George failed to startle
when he carded a (for hin) pedeS-
trian 78.
George Nealis, who tied Bobby
Bowers for top medal honors but
lost in the playoff, is a green's
keeper at the Joyce Road course.
In spite of the fact that he should
have known every patch in the
knobbly greens, he three-putted on
several holes.
POTENTIAL STAR
A third Rock Creek attendant to
distinguish herself was pretty
Anne Dolan, who with Mrs. Emily
SuesS made up the feminine con-
tingent in the tourney.
Anne Dolan's usual stance is be-
hind the luncheon counter in the
clubhouse. She has little time to
play and when she does 60 a
round or two, never takes the
game seriously. Her drives, which
she casually sWats down the fair
way, run around 200 yards. If
Miss Dolan ever deserted the boys
in front of the counter who sing
out 1.-TWO doughnutS and a cupsa
coffee" to take a serious interest
in golf, she would be menace to
Washingtons top female anna
teurs.
Miss Dolan's assignment today
will probably be too tough for her
to handle. She is matched with
Bobby Coleman, Rock Greek caddy
with talent for dawing pencil
sketches and strewing them about
the clubhouse and the starting
tee. He can also play golf.
FEATURE MATCHES
Miss Dolan has the satisfaction
Of knowing that her qualifying
score of 46-44-90 landed her well
up in the second flight of the
tourney.
Today's feature matches will be
between Bobby Bowers, medalist,
and Gail Holmes. District junior
public links champion, at 9:45;
Pat Axtell and lanky Bill Leapley,
who thinks nothing of walking off
with $40 following a day of sporty
golf at Rock Creek, at 10; not for
