with several representatives in the
field.
Besides the usual %one-eighth pro-
ductlon royalty on oil or gas pro-
duction, leases indicate that cash
payments of IS cents an acre were
made to landowners.
Land involved is on the Saco
Divide, on the east slope of Bowdoin
gas dome, in the vicinity of Hins-
dale and on the Hinsdale north
bench, in the Tampico community
and north of there on Buggy creek
and directly north of Glasgow.
In the case of one lease, that was
made to MI. and Mrs. c. H. McChes-
ney of Saco Divide, this proviso is
added to the regular lease form:
The lessor shall have the right
TO terminate this lease on or after
Dec. 81, 1916, if the lease or his
or assigns fails to COM
mence a deep test well before that
date at some location to be selected
by lessee on Bowdoin dome"
From reports current here. it was
believed probable that additional

One hundred and forty years ago
two men who were destined to open
what we know as the west" to the
then young United States we're
travelling through Montana. Their
travel did not take them over WELL
marked highways, established rail-
ways or along the beam of the great
airways.
These two men and the compile
ment under their command were
travelling through the unknown.
Capt. Meriwether Lewis, the
sombre and ever-lonesome, and the
bouyant, Irish-witted Capt. William
Clark, guided the memorable party
of explorers. Their hardships. hopes
and success are known to history as
the Lewis and Clark expedition.
They followed the great Missouri
river westward, explored and named
many of its tributaries. Some of
those names still hold today.
In the 81 weeks to follow. this
newspaper will publish the day-by-
day record of their travel, listing the
cities and places near which
the intrepid explorers would have
and camped had the historic
expedition been made in this modern
day.
The Lewis and Clark calendar has
been prepared and is being circulate
I'd by the Montana Council of the
American Pioneer Trails association,
his year concentrating the 140th
anniversary of the Lewis and Clark
through Montana.
The calendar-log of the expedition
Montana should prove of interest
both school children and adults,
,ortraying in part the great Amer
can heritage to which we are in
to Lewis and Clark and their
men.
