looks with favor on Il 10 per-

national defense costs, admin
istration officials said today,
but he wants Congressional
leaders to take the initiative in

The super tax, although
still an informal idea, might
be applied retroactively to
1899 income as well as 1910
income. The tax payer would
compute his levy in the usual
way and then add 10 percent
to the total.
These sources predicted that the

1t was he who first correctly
mapped the main Kevin-Sunburst
structure and his block of leases
which became the property of the
Kalispell-Kevin syndicate proved to
be the most valuable lease block
in the state. These properties,
leased before the start of the Cor
don Campbell will north of Kelvin,
have produced $1O,O0O,0O0 worth
of oil and Emmons and the little
Kalispell group which financed him
in taking the leases, have received
more than $1,125,00O from their
royalties and still retain many val
liable properties in Kevin-Sunburst
field.
Coming to Montana from Cali
fornia as a small boy, with his
parents, Emmons first lived in Deer
Lodge county and he was brought
up in the mining industry. He took
up prospecting and became a self
educated mining engineer. While
digging tunnel on a hillside near
Swift Current creek in what is now
Glacier National park, seeking a
quartz vein, he noticed petroleum
on the walls of the tunnel. He
conceived the idea that this was oil
country and reported the discovery
and thereafter followed the Swift
Current oil excitement which led
to the drilling of several wells in
the region. None Of them was
commercial but to Charley Emmons
the presence of oil in the noun
tains was of exciting significance
and led him to study of the anti
clinal theory, first propounded by
Prof. White of the U.S.G.S. in 1914.
He concluded that structures in the
plains area would contain oil.
Locating what he believed to be
structural condition some dis
-ance east of Kelvin, he induced 10
business men at Kalispell to fur
lish $500 each to employ Ralph !
Arnold, noted geologist, to make |
n examination of the area. Arnold |

seologist, to do the detail work |
knew every shale exposure |

With his help, Loci made a contour

Acting on the Loci map and re-
'ort, Emmons completed his leas-
ng. Among the farms leased was
he William Byrne farm which has
reduced $3,48S,OO0 worth of oil.
Also he leased Section SO State
ease, which has produced $3,782,-
