Lease Sale Block
(AIOntana Oil Journal


Embracing acreage in three
distinct areas. 62.O85,98 acres of
Blackfeet Indian tribal and allot-
ted leases will be sold at sealed
bid auction Tuesday. Aug. 81. at
Browning.
Along the east face of the
Rockies. north-nOrthcast of the
town of Glacier Park. l55 tracts
will be offered. in a 3,-milc.long
area extending north TO within
about II miles of the Alberta.
Montana boundary. All of the
leases in this block are at least
20 miles west Of the nearest pro.
ductiOn in the Cut Bank field. in
an area rated as rank wildcat.
but of interest because of its 10.
cation southeast of Gull 's
Pinchcr Greek wet gas field in
southern Alberta.
Six tracts. some of them quite
/, large. will be offered in the area
northwest of Cut Bank and south.
east Of the Union & Carter basal

slide Butte area.
Southwest Of the south end of
the Cut Bank field and extending
southwark to Birch Creek. Isl
tracts will be offered in two town.
ships. 3lN.6W and 30N.7W. Many
Of the tracts to be offered in BIN.
CIV are l0.acrc units. totaling 81
in all. Of interest because they
are in the same townships as that
in which liccp Oil Company re.
Gently drilled an unsuccessful
test to the top Of the Madison
lime.
Putting up of this acreage for
sale apparently represents the
existence Of two. schools Of
thought. one with the belief that
deep zones along the mountain
front will develop production
similar to that found in Pinchcr
Creek.
The other school Of thought
seems TO be that n good place to
look for oil tat much shallowcr
depths will be adjacent to the
Cut Bank field itself. in an area
at about the same structural
elevation as the two basal Madi.
son discoveries so far made.

kk6UUNiEKf OVER
Mineral RIGHTS

The question of whether or not
the Blackfcct Tribe viii. recon-
mend to Congress the passage of
a law restoring to al0ttccS
mineral rights on land acquired
after 1919 will be submitted to a
referendum vote of the tribe
members on Tuesday. September
l4th. it was decided by the Tribal
Council meeting on Thursday of
last week. August 5th.
\ resolution to the same effect
had been previously passed by
the council. setting the time for
the r cfcrcndum election at an
earlier date, but at meeting
held August 3rd. the resolution
was rccOnsidercd, and by a
majority vote of the members
present the former action was
rcScindcd. Petitions. with many
signatures. were presenter 10 inc
Council and also forwarded to
Washington to be filed with the
Congress. asking for consider
alton of the proposal for rcstOr-
alton of the mineral rights to the
allottces and heirs of alottccs.
Unless some change is later
voted by the Council. the election
on the referendum will be held
as scheduled, on September lIth.
Later information, c o m ng
from those sponsoring the move
mcnt to have the mineral rights
restored to the allottccs, is to the
effect that the Council resolution
calling for the referendum. con-
tanned provision that the cost
of the election be paid by the
petitioners. This provision has
not been accepted by the Spon-
sOrS of the movement. and unless
an agreement is reached it is still
uncertain whether or not the
special election will he held as
scheduled.

WATER SYSTEM IS
MUCH IMPROVED

Extensive work on the city
water tank and rc-conditioning
the water well in town, near the
tank, which was at one time the
sole source of supply for the
entire system, has been complet.
cd. and as result the supply has
been greatly increased and what
looked for time might be a
shortage of water has been
avcrted.
When the city water system
was first installed a we'll drilled
on the lots owned by the city, and
on which the water tower was
erected, provided an ample
supply of water. The we'll was
drilled to the depth of about l4O
feet, and provided an excellent
flow of good water, But later on
surface leakage affected the
water. supposedly caused by the
leakage from a large oil tank on
nearby location. About that
time. the city acquired title to
land west of town on which was
located a large natural water
spring. or springs. and this was
developed into a source of supply.
and the old we'll was not used for
several years. This year. however.
probably as a result of the long
dry spell. the springs have failed
to yield sufficient water to keep
up the proper pressure in the
water tank.
The old we'll was pumped for
several days. cleaned out, the
castings repaired, and it has now
been put back in service, with the
result that there is at present
ample water for all necessary
purposes.
The water tank and tower were
also rcpaintcd. and extensive i'm.
provcmcnts made. BrOwning's
water supply now. city officials
state. is in the best condition it
has ever been. and the worry of
a shortage of water and lack of
pressure has been solved. il is
believed.

Farm Prices to Skid
Under New Program
BY Stanley James

washington Correspondent
Washington, Aug. 9-The Ag.
riculturc Committee of tn G
House has just released a study
which shows that further dc.
clincs in farm prices are ex.
pectcd.' The committee study
concludes that the two reasons
for further price drops will be
more livestock moving and lower
price supports.
The committee, which contains
majority of Republican mem.
bcrs. thus takes a poke at the
flexible price supports program
of the Administration, and Sccrc.
tary of Agriculture Ezra Taft
Benson. Like the Senate Agri.
culture Committee, the House
Committee voted a retention of
high, fixed supports.
The House, however. refused to
follow the committee recon-.
mcndation and passed instead a
flexible support bill. The commit.
tee continued studying the
problem in spite of this rebukc
and finds that the consumer is
failing to gain any benefits from
lower prices paid the farmer.
Its study shows a trend to in.
creased charges for marketing
and processing, and this trend
the study indicates-will prevent
the consumer from realizing, any
price benefits from further farm
price drops expected. The com.
mittcc study shows that farm
food prices have dropped twenty
percent in three years.
The report also found that high
support prices were not the
reason consumer prices have re-
manned high-thus rcfuting the
argument of some that high price
supports have been responsible
for high consumer prices.
The latest congressional study
therefore stirs anew the cOntrO
vcrsial farm program and in
directly criticizes the Administra
ton farm program. 1t indicate.
the farm program will be no,
issue in the coming election.

Wheelbarrow Stunt Man
Goes Through Browning

Attracting considerable atten.
ton on Monday of this week was
the arrival in town of a man Civ
ing the name of Charley Taylor,
who has gained considerable
notoriety throughout the country
on a stunt of pushing wheel.
barrow around the borders of the
United States on what he claims
is publicity radio stunt sponsor
ed by the Old Gold cigarette Co.
Taylor came into town about
HOO o'clock Monday morning,
under his own power, pushing a
rubber tired wheelbarrow with
approximately 200 pounds of
luggage. The load consisted of
bedding, pup tent, cooking equip.
ment, supplies and other neces.
sary appurtenances. He had left
East Glacier, and covered the 13
miles in about four and one. half
hours. He left town shortly after
noon. expecting to make seven or
eight miles more before pitching
camp for the night.
According to his own story,
Taylor had left Buffalo, N. Y. on
January l. 1858, and had pushed
the wheelbarrow from that start.
ing point to New York City. and
thence southwark to Key West,
Florida. then up the west coast
to Seattle. when he turned east
along the northern route. headed
for Buffalo. He was given two
years and three months to com.
plete the journey. he stated, but
hoped to reach Buffalo some
time In February. 1855.
The story Is that the Old Gold
company planned the stunt for
two contestants, taking different
routes around the country. with
approximately the same mileage.
II the trips are successfully com.
pleted. each contestant Is to re.
ceive a twenty-five thousand
dollar home. and the first one OF
the two back In Buffalo gets q
cash award of S25.001.
Taylor states that he makes ap,
proximately twenty miles . day;
Is not permitted to accept any
rides. and Is not to sleep In any
hotel or eat at restaurants. and
Is to subsist on what people give
him along the way. and he Is not
supposed to do any pan.handling
or soliciting.
