industry at Montana State college, to
the post OF assistant director of the
Montana agricultural experiment sta
ton, has been announced by Presi-
dent A. L. Strand.

research programs of the several de-
partments and branches of the agri-

Gus agencies, private, state and fed
eral, which cooperate with the Mon
tana station. He will also assist with

ress of the experiment station.

Indian instruments
Of War Are GiUen
To U of " Museum

Instruments of war and working
tools used by Indian tribes and pio-
neers which have historical value were
bequeathed to Montana State univer-
sity by CLANCY E. Woodworth, former
pioneer resident of Missoula. The mu-
scum articles included in the valuable
assortment have been examined for
value by DR.. Harry Turney-High, pro-
feSsor of anthropology.
The collection includes Indian neck
laces, beads, war shafts, ornamental
gowns and drawings. Pioneer instru-
ments such as ax-pipes, stone weapons
pestles and fleshers are among the
priced articles. A large war drum

leggings of the plains-plateau type In

and a model Eskimo 3-cockpit kayak

Rules PinbdU Games
Are Gambling Devices

Pinball machines are gambling de-
vices even though played for amuse-
ment only, Attorney General John w
Bonner ruled.
Describing the machines as "nui-
sances" under Montana statute, the
attorney general held for John D
Stafford, Cascade county attorney
that machines remain illegal even
though the only prize offered is addi-
tional free plays.
Stafford had asked If machines Sub
stantially the same as the ordinary
pinball machine (Which awards
free plays . if the player hits GER
tain scores above a given figure" were
legal.
Citing court rulings, the attorney
general pointed out in part:
"a statute making it unlawful to
possess slot machines which, as a re-
suit Of any element of chance or other
outcome unpredictable to him. may
entitle a user thereof to an additional
chance to play is explicit and should be
enforced.
"A slot machine giving a player q
free opportunity to play because he
attains a certain score is a gambling
device within the statute making it
unlawful to possess slot machines . -

FORD SAYS mo"
TO STATE SOLONS

Gov. Sam c. Ford said he believed
1t would be unconstitutional to appoint
any state senator or representative
TO state job and that he was adopt
ing a policy Of not making such APP
pointments.
In statement intended as a reply
to requests Of several state senators
and representatives for jobs in the
state government, the governor point
ed out that the state constitution, Sec
ton Of article 3, held:
mo senator or representative shall,
during the term for which he shall
have been elected. be appointed to any
civil office under the state"
While 1t Is true" the governor said,
1.-The supreme court Of this state has
held that certain positions under the
state government are not within the
meaning Of the term civil office
feel that the reasons which make 1t
unwise to appoint a senator or repre-
sentative to a civil office apply with
equal force to his appointment or en-
ployment in any branch or depart
ment of the state service.
"One may well ask, how can the
three branches of government-legis-
lative, executive and judicial-be sep
arate and distinct if members of the
legislature are appointed or employed
to administer laws they help to enact?
1T seems clear to me that the judg-
ment of a member of the legislature
might be influenced or controlled by
the hope or promise of position in
the executive branch.
Il am, therefore, thoroughly con-
WINGED that the practice is unsound,
contrary to the spirit of the constitu-
tional provisions referred to, and
strikes at the very foundation of our
form of government"
Governor Ford admitted that his re-
fusal to appoint legislators to state
jobs might affect legislative support
of his program in 1913, but he was
convinced that his policy was the cor
rect one and an observance of the
spirit as well as the letter of the con-
stitution.

Drilled into the Madison lime a
1856 feet, it had absolutely NJ
show of oil or gas and absolutely
no porosity. An effort to acidize i
was without success. The formation
would not take the acid. 1t wa.
shot with two charges of nitro glyI'
erin. totaling $50 quarts, to break
up the hard formation, 1t was aci-
died with 500 gallons Of Kevir
acid. 1t took the acid the second
time and It was put on the pump
and the crew went home, as 1t US
ually takes some time to recover
the oil used in forcing the acid
back into the formation.
After an hour and a half OF
pumping the amount of oil began
to increase and within a short time
II was flowing. The rate Of flow IN
creased steadily until 1t was max
ing 35 barrels per hour. 1t made
$50 barrels in IA hours before 1t
was pinched in to nine barrels per
hour-to around 200 barrels per
day. 1t was making no water at
last reports, although all wells in
this region ordinarily make water
when first drilled.
This is the largest well in the

BETTER MARKET FOR

The rally in oil stocks during

Wall Street. New York:
I'm view of the fact that for
some time no important new oil
fields have been discovered to off
set Withdrawals from proven nc
reage. II seems reasonable to ex-
pect that crude prices will be fur
Their advanced to encourage pros
pecting for new reserves, rather
than that the Government will i'm
pose any nearby price restrictions.
Furthermore. the increased demand
for petroleum prod Icts under pres
sure OF war, even though some price
restrictions may ultimately be plac-
ed, suggests that thers will first
be a considerable easing OF prOra-
ton, and the possibility of imprOv-
ed earnings for domestic companies
that should benefit from the in
creased allowables.
