WeaseIhead Drilling
Making Progress

Favorable progress is being
made by the Kerlyn Drilling Co.
at the Lucy Weaselhead site, it is
reported. Three shifts are at
work, with the hole we'll over
300 feet.
Planning to drill down as deep
as 5000 feet if necessary in the
exploration, the equipment is
considered equal to the maxi
mum of performance.
The Carter-Phillips concerns
are doing the exploratory work.
Aside from optimism, the pro-
joct is just another one of pre-

Towns Irrigation
Restrictions To
Begin Monday

Beginning Monday the water
department of the Town of
Browning will have in effect a
time restriction policy in the use
OF irrigation water as a means of
assuring an equitable supply for
all property.
Agency property will be availed
their supply on odd days and
town property on even days. As
provided by ordinance, hose must
have sprinkler or other attach.
ments as against open hose.
Sprinkling will be from 8 a, m.
to 10 2. m.
Harold Hanneman, town water
commissioner who issued the or
der, said that violators would be
dealt with as provided by ordin-
ance.
He urges that consumers give
the water department their full
cooperation, especially in the
light OF continued aridity that is
developing a serious fire hazard.
Property development trends
in recent years, he explained,
has brought the Town of Brown.
ing to face a situation requiring
larger water supply. the pres
ent capacity of the plant having
been provided to serve needs
consistent with anticipated de.
velopments.
The decision of property own
ers to plant lawns and gardens
and to install household conven-
fences necessitatinR the need of
water in volume beyond the ca
pacity of water system cannot
be fully anticipated, he said,
Like an oil we'll, it is a gamble.
Obviously, he said, the need of
more water by the community is
eloquent of progress attained and
a gesture to those at the helm
of a town to do something about
it. 10 line with progress, the
Town of Browning will be doing
something about it.

The Origin Of Oil
The Second of Series of Four Articles Written for the
Chief by Ray E. Cotton, Petroleum Geologst

Two theories have been ad.
vanced as to the possible origin
of oil, one being the inorganic
theory of oils origin. and the
other being the organic theory
of oils origin.
The inorganic theory postu-
lates chemical reaction of water
on deep buried gases. which
when cooled at the surface, re-
suit in petroleum. especially the
action of deep-seated water on
deep.buried carbides of iron and
nickle. The evidence of gaseous
emanations from volcanoes bears
out the chemical similarity of
the inorganic theory of oils ORR
gin, but the commercial recovery
Of crude oil. especially that re.
covered from the Cut Bank field,
fails to substantiate the morgan
ic theory of oils origin in any
manner comparable to findings.
The organic theory of oils orr
gin, which appears to be the
most logical to explain the pres
ence of oil, comes under three
categories as follows:
1-Origin of oil from marine
animal material.

The dying marine life, which

in dying, created what are termed

Finally the mass began to mi
CRATE to what are termed as ad-

stones, which possessed the ply
steal attraction of porosity neces-
sary to attract and imprison the
migrating oil mass within their

WrangeIl Hi-LineS

Wrangell Highs new teachers and pupils this year are pretty keen. Mrs Knape, English teacher and Miss Lashbrook, Home Eco homie teacher are considered reg ular by all the pupils.
 WrangelI Highs new students are a swell bunch. They are Shir- ley Eyon, Johnnie Eyon, Eva Knape, Mary Ellen Webster, Betty Hagen, Ruth Hagen and Colleen Carlson. The students are proud of their new additions this year and feel we'll have a better high school with them.
 War Bonds And Stamps
 It seems that now that the war is over there is a tendency for people to stop buying war bonds and stamps This should not be so For Buying war bonds and stamps is just a way of investing in a safe future and preventing a de- pression. The government is urg- ing all citizens to keep on buying stamps and bonds, for even though the war is won there are many wounded and crippled veterans who must be cared for and care is costly.
 Today stamps will be on sale again at the school. Certain high school students will sell stamps for a week. The schedule is arranged so that each student will have a turn. Bring your dimes and quar- ters and make an investment in the future-not only for yourselves but others also.
