those vino did not conduct square"
Al few years later the reformers de-
cided that some Of the games were
operated on a percentage too much m
favor of the dealer. There was leg1S-
lative investigation. The statesmen de-
cfded that roulette was one OF the
games at which the player had less
chance to win than IN the others. The
gambling law was amended, ana rou-
lette. blackjack, craps and several 9th
er games Of chance were put on the
M sign Of the Square Gambler
The PROPRIETOR of the gambling
house was authorized to put sign
outside the door Of his establishment.
It bore the two words, Licensed Gam
bling" This meant that he was a
square gambler, sanctioned TO operate
BY law. This law was in effect until
about 20 years ago.
In those days the gambling house
operated on the first floor. The gam
bier was a recognized institution. He
wore the best clothes obtainable and
held his head as high as any Of his
fellows.
Then came the reform movement
which moved the game upstairs. It
was commended by the reformers that
much of an allurement for the man
who had the gambling mania.
Finally gambling was abolished.
That Is to say, 1t was made unlawful.
Officially there was no gambling. After
that it all depended on the county
attorney and the sheriff.
Controlled a County
In one memorable election the gam
blers secured control OF the Official
machinery of one of the great coun-
ties of the state. This was followed
by the organization Of a gambling
trust, which operated several houses.
Attempt to open houses by gamblers
not members of the trust met with
prosecution. The trust thrived for
four years, and those back Of it made
colossal fortune.
Marcus DAILY started racing on a big
scale in the state It was pure sport
with him. He built great racing plants
at Butte and Anaconda. After he
passed away the game fell into the
hands Of professionals to a large ex-
tent. Finally it was put in the black
books of the state.
In Butte especially, racing held
thousands in its thrall. In the latter
years even the women would tl1rong
TO the betting ring, eager to place
their money
Prize fighting flourished, waned and
went down the dark road of oblivion.
Fortunes were made out of the many
slot machines before the reformers got
busy.
Time was in Montana when horse
or cattle stealing was capital offense,
not on the statutes, but In the invisible
books of the unwritten law.
There have been many reforms in
Montana since the days Of Henry
Plummer, high sheriff of the territory.
and overload of the bandits. But ali
these reformations date back to the
golden days when the bartender of
Virginia City could not hold a Job In

fingernails

ACID STEPS UP
FLOW AT kelvin
FOUR WELLS SHOW BIG INCREASE
AFTER NEW TREAT
MENT

The magic Of acid as applied TO
oil wells I'm the Kelvin Sunburst
field was further demonstrated re-
Gently when four wells made 81
gantic increases after being treat
ed. Two of these were first con-
sidered dry holes and ordinarily
would have been abandoned In the
days before acid became such a
factor in creating commercial
wells.
The most spectacular well was the
Van der Pas-Thumm No. which, fol-
lowing acidation, made go barrels the
first day it was pumped. 1t is ex-
pected to settle to a steady 125-barrel
producer The hole was bottomed at
It'll feet with only a small natural
showing of oil.
Only a few gallons of oil were found
by the Crumley -Fryberger No. 20,
which was drilled to 1916 feet. One
thousand gallons of hydro-chloric acid
we're used and the well Immediately
put on the pump, producing over 200
barrels in the first "a hours. 1t has
pumped over 100 barrels since. The
Mcknight Stock-State No. 3 in the
Baker Howling pool, was drilled In
with a commercial showing of 80 bar
rels day. Acidized, 1t has averaged
nearly 100 barrels day for the last
week.
The -Engemoen No. 10 that was
thought to be dry hole, is now rated
at 40 barrels after being drilled deep
Pr and acidized. This well was brought
IN several weeks ago.

BARTENDERS HIT
BY FIRST REFORM
FTNGERNAILS, NOT MORALS, WERE
OBJECT OF CORRECTION IN
ALDER
Gold Dust Had Habit of Clinging to
Long Nails When Taken From Foxes
Of Miners So Open Revolt Caused
Attendants to Use Files.

MOntana's first reformation of
note came In the revolt of miners
of Alder guIch against bartenders
who used long fingernails 20 rob
the miners Of gold dust from their
pOkes. 1t was a reformation which
succeeded and Ii saved many min
ers thousands of dollars. 1t Oc-
Cured in Virginia City, In the
days when placer mining and
banditry we're the two principal
industries of the territory. Placer
gold was the circulating medium.
When a cOnvfvial miner bought a
round of drinks in a saloon he
put his poke" of gold dust on
the bar. The bartender would take
a pinch of dust from the poke"
throw ii onto the gold scales, and
add to 1t or take from it as the
exigencies of the purchase de-
manded.
The frugal bartenders of those days
grew long fingernails. Their brokerage
was the dust that remained under the
nail, after the deal had been con-
Summated. In places where a thrtV-
ing business was driven a dexterous
bartender could make as much as $50
in single day.
This was all right as long as gold
dust was plentiful, and while the ex-
element was high. Pretty soon it be-
came apparent that the bartenderS had
more money than anyone else in the
camp. Investigators, after a careful
study also determined that the bar
tenders who had the longest finger
nails wore the best clothes and seemed
to be possessed of more money than
their fellow mixologistS.
Word went forth among the miners
that the long fingernail was taboo
The miners decided to boycott those
saloons where the long fingernaI was
in evidence. The boycott became SO
effective that owners of saloons would
employ no bartenders who did not
have their nails paired down to the
quick.
That was the first reform effected
in the state.
Cleaned Up the Bandits
The next great reform was the
cleaning up of the bandits, which is
long story. Suffice to say that more
than go offenders, including Henry
Plummer, leader of the bandits, were
hanged within two months after the
Vigilantes effected their wonderful or
ganiZation.
x. Beidler was one OF the leaders
of this great reformation. He was the

rid the territory of brigandage. They
were bound by oath to execute the
mandates of the executive committee
of the organization, which, in secret
council, decided whether men affili-
ated with the bandits should die or
be banished from the territory.
Statesmen of the territory thought
they had effected reform when they
licensed gambling. It was contended
that the license would put the gam
blers under official supervision and
enable the officers to refuse license to

You Can Make Your
Wine If ReQiStered

Persons wishing to manufacture
wine need not do so in secrecy as
in prohibition days. Federal laws per-
nit persons to make wine for family
use, according to Burr Hill, local in
vestigator of the alcohol tax unit of
the United States treasury department.
Hill said the law permits anyone to
manufacture not more than 200 gall
Ions of wine without payment of
taxes, provided the wine Is solely for
family use and is not sold or removed
from the home where made.
Winemakers, Hill declared, must
file a notice with the units office in
the federal building at Helena and
a copy will have to be posted where
the wine is kept. The original will be
filed by the district supervisor. Blanks
will be furnished.
The permits do not, however, cover
wines made by one person for anoth-
er's use, by single person not the
head of family, by married man
not living with his family, by part
nership or by winery owned jointly
by several families or wines furnished
ranch hands and boarders.

CLARK ESTATE CLOSED

District Judge T. E. DoWney OF
Butte has signed a decree approving
the final report and accounting IN the
estate of William A. Clark Jr., and
directed final distribution to close the
estate.
The decree directed executors to dis
tribute to Sydney Sanner, Joseph NC
Inerney and John Amos Fleming,
trustees of a residuary trust estab-
lished in Clark'S will.
Partial distribution was made to
the trust in 1887. Funds reserved, how
ever, were inadequate to complete pay
ment of inheritance taxes claims and
expenses of administrations, so execu-
tors withdrew $85 ,83740 from the trust
to pay the taxes and claims, accord
ing To the decree.
