the largest i'm the United
States, has q gathering area
taking i'm most of northeast
ern Montana, large segment
of south ern Saskatchewan
and q part Of northwestern
North Dakota.
This tremendous gathering
area appeals to that segment of
the geological fraternity that
subscribes to the theory that oil
can and does migrate for very
long distances until it even
tualIy comes to rest in the high
spot of region.
Those who disagree with the
long-range migration the DRY
also like Bowdoin, because the
dome itself is of such size as
to contain source beds sufficient
to yield enormous volumes of
oil, without depending upon mi
grafton from far downslope.
Sole development on this vast
dome, until the Texas Company
began drilling, was by the Mon
tana-Dakota Utilities Company
and its subsidiaries, which put
down more than 200 wells yield
ing gas from sands encountered
at 1000 feet or less, from the
Bowdoin and Phillips sands in
the upper part of the Colorado
shale, plus one abortive deep
test drilled by others, before
Montana Dakota acquired con-
troll of the tens of thousands of
acres on the top of the structure.
The unsuccessful deep" test
was abandoned when it UNI
corked flow of hot water in a
6O-foot sand at 3120-3180 feet,
supposedly near the base of the
Big Snowy formation, but GER
tainly above the top of the
Madison lime.
Some other wells have been
drilled ON the flanks of the

Offices of the Board of Trade ane
went elsewhere to hold a session oi
their own.
After their own meeting, they
issued statement saying they hao
decided on the following action
THAT every organization represent
ed present an official protest to the
Plebiscite Executive Committee con-
cerning this arbitrary and undemo-
cratic refusal to permit discussion
and request the right to appear
before the meeting of the Executive
Committee on Friday and present
the organizations views
The Executive Committee first had
adopted the rule OH registering
voters by race at a meeting Oc-
tober d. This position was re-
affirmed at second meeting after
prolonged discussion and protests
from several organizations. They
charged discrimination would harm
the cause
The issue came up again yester-
day before the General Plebiscite
Committee and stirred up a spirited
attack from spokesmen from labor
groups, colored organizations and
others.
Among organizations appealing
for reconsideration of the issue was

After most of the representatives
of other colored groups had left the
meeting, Woolsey w. Hall, president
of the Federation of Civic Associ-
ations, said he had opposed register
ing by race and had voted against
it in the Plebiscite Executive Com
mittee. of which he is member.
"Of course, we don't like it," he
said. Our heads are bloody but
unbowed. We must meet these po-
litical contests and issues, however,
in the fashion Of adults. I ask every
resident of the colored community
to come out and vote in the pleb-
iscite."
In its statement issued after the
protesters' meeting, the II groups
said:
Discussion was stopped after
several representative had eX-
pressed the view that the require
ment Of recording color provided no
basis for voting eligibility. They
pointed out that there had been
unity concerning the plebiscite until
this element was introduced by the
Plebiscite Executive Committee, and
that if it were dropped at once the
disunity which had developed would
be eliminated, assuring the maxi
mum vote in the plebiscite.
s"Mr. Newell stated that the Pleb-
iscite Executive Committee had made
its decision and that the decision
could not be questioned at this
