Fish Planting
Under Way

Blackfeet reservation lakes and
streams are being heavily planted
with rainbow trout this summer
by the State Game and Fish De-
partment.
Through this month there were
four paintings, including one
made this week, according to Don
Wright, district game warden. To-
tai of the paintings was 222, $40,
most of which were fry.
The first planting was made
July in Four Horn Lake, quaint
ity being 10000 fry.
The second planting was made
July 2 in Mission Lake, quantity
being 1880 fry.
The third planting made July
Is in Duck Lake, quantity being
$4,000 fry.
This weeks planting was made
in the Middle Fork of Milk Riv-
er, quantity being $40 fry.
The supply was from the Great
Falls hatchery.
Paintings will continue through
at least August and September,
it was understood, when 5,000,-
900, more or less, will be so plac-
ed to replendish the main fish
ing areas.
A salutary policy of the Fish
and Game Commission is to eli
inmate carp and other detrimen-
tai fish in order to make the
fishing waters a more prolific
source of rainbow.
Underway soon will be the
cleaning out of lakes and streams
of the Marias shed so that the
policy may be carried out.

ened for business Monday. The

Fred Boss Tribal store. During
his reservation residence he has
also been engaged in cattle rails

Merchandise at his business es-
tablishment will include a COM
plete line of meats and groceries,

From the start, the Committee
for the Protection of Tribal Prop
critics objected to Amendment
No. Nv on the ground that under
its provisions small number of
tribal members could start pro-
ceedings that could conceivably
tie up tribal funds, and prevent
the making of per capita pay
ments, and other benefits that
are usually made to tribal men,
bers from tribal funds by the
Council.
Discussion of the issue became
heated during the closing days of
the campaign.
In addition to the opposition
to Amendment No. w by the
committee for the Protection of
Tribal Properties, the Tribal
Council challenged the right of
the Secretary of the Interior to
order such an election, and this
issue will undoubtedly be carried
to higher sources.
Returns Slow Coming In
The election was held on Mon
day, but counting the ballots did
not start until Tuesday morning,
and it was after eight o'clock
Tuesday night when the final
count was completed and the re-
suits announced. The vote count
ing was conducted behind closed
doors at the Agency office, with
no trends or indications available
until the final count was COM
pleted.

Dupuyer Well Apparently to
Open Big New Oil Field

Intermittent flows of oil we're
reported, with heavy volume of
gas, but with no definite gauge
made public.
From midnight to 8 a. m.
Thursday, July %, the we'll flow
ed gas through separator at a
rate estimated at from 100000
to 100000 cubic feet daily
Cflared), through choke with 500
pound back pressure. In that per-
iod it flowed inches of oil into
a 25O-barrel tank. An inch of oil
in a 250-barrel tank is approx
mately 81 barrels. SO in the
eight-hour period the we'll ap-
pears to have made approximate
ly IL barrels of oil, at the rate
of 80 barrels daily.
There was no disposition on
the part of the operators who had
seen the cores, and who had seen
the well perform, to think that
the 33-barrel figure was a maxi
mum potential for the we'll.
There was a belief the gas
might have forced its way down
beside the pipe, thru channel
ing, to exert a strong back-pres-
sure on the oil zone. Indicating
that the operators subscribed to
this belief, Thursday they killed
the we'll, moved in cementing
equipment. and slammed in an
other cement job around the bot
tom of the pipe and through the
perforations, in the belief that if
the gas can be separated from
the oil zone, a much greater flow
of oil may be obtained.
Whether the theory proves cor
rect or whether it doesn't did not
seem to be of much concern to
oil men who knew the facts.
There was general agreement
that the discovery was one of
the most important in recent
years in Montana, with no indi
cation that performance of the
discovery is to be regarded as

Spotted Eagle Murder
Suspects Released

Pondera county authorities are
still baked in trying to determ-
inc the responsibility for the
death of Gabriel Spotted Eagle

Alvin Vale and George from
bley, the two Indians who were
with the victim on the night of
his death, and who were arrested
last week following the coro-
ner's inquest held here in Brown

Likely to signal start of inten-
sive drilling on the west flank
of the Sweetgrass Arch is wild
cat flowing oil and gas from the
Sunburst sand, Western Oils
No. 2 Bills, SW Sc NV 31-28N-
CIV.
The wildcat is in extreme
southern Pondera county, "a
miles south and slightly west of
the Cut Bank field, IA miles west
and slightly north of the Pom
dera oil field, and about three
miles southeast of Dupuyer, on
the Choteau-Browning highway
to Glacier park.
The flow of sweet gas (ungaug-
ed) is estimated by competent OBJ
servers to range from 100000
to 100000 cubic feet daily.
Along with it is a spray of 80

Due to a lease situation, def
mite information on the well was
held up more than a week.

the pay horizon, at 2814, and
cores from 2814 to 1850 showed
exceptional porosity (l9 percent)
and exceptional permeability.
Core analysis of the top % feet
of the sand showed an exception
ally high gas oil ratio. In drill
stem test from 2797 to 2842, there
was an immediate flow of gas to
surface. In a drill stem test from
1880 to 2845, there was an i'm
mediate flow of gas to surface
with oil and spray of clean 81
gravity oil in "a minutes. In q
drill stem test from 2840 to 1850
there was gas to surface in foul
minutes, mud and oil in II min
utes, and a spray of gas and OIL
with intermittent slugs of clean
oil in 40 minutes.
The bottom eight feet OF the
sand, extremely porous and LAD

MahaIa E. Mueller To
Offieiate As Judge At
Sheridan Indian Event

Mahala E. Mueller, Arts and
Crafts Supervisor, left this week
for the Sheridan Indian Festival,
where she will act as one of the
judges as we'll as set up an ex-
hibit for the Northern Plains

to Gallup, New Mexico, to take
part in the Inter-Tribal Indian
Ceremonial there. This will be
the fifth year that the Northern
Plains Crafts Association will
participate in this, the largest

country. There one can see the
finest contributions to American
tradition in art, music, languages
and the beautiful and colorful
rituals which had their begin
ming many years ago. With
the continued movement to break
down barriers for encourage
ment, the Indian is once again
recapturing and developing the
best in his heritage, and he is
gaining increased recognition
for his inherent skills.
Mrs. Mueller plans on return
ing to Browning about August
25th and will then remain until
the Museum Crafts closes for the
season.

Noted Author
Visits Plains
Indian Museum

Professor w. S. Campbell of the
University of Oklahoma School
of journalism visited the Museum
of the Plains Indian Wednesday,
July q. DR.. Campbell is a noted
author and outstanding authority
on American frontier history,
particularly that of Indians and
has written a formidable list of
books, both scholarly and pop
ular, on the subject, under the
pen name of Stanley Vestal.
Some of his best known works
are Kit Carson, Sitting Bull, The
Old Santa Fe Trail, Mountain
Men, and Jim Bridger.
Throughout his life Professor
Campell has made American
frontier his special interest; in
addition to his academic work in
the field he has spent much time
visiting the scenes of battles and
campaigns, and getting first-hand
recollections of survivors who
participated in the events.
Campbell is presently doing a
joint study of the Plains Indian
tipi with Reginald Laubin, noted
authority on North American
Indian Dancing. He made ar
rangements so the Curator of
the Museum of the Plains In
dian and the Blackfeet Indian
Reservation Home Demonstration
Agent could accompany him to
the Blood Indian encampment
in Canada so he could secure de-
tailed information in regard to
the construction of Blood and
Piegan tipis from Indian women.
Although Campbell visited and
photographed most of the conical
lodges, he concentrated in get
ing detailed accounts of construc-
ton from Mines Frank Red Crow,
Priscilla White Quill, and Percy
Creighton, women from the
Blood Reserve. He was de-
lighted with the hospitality he
received and will be looking for
ward to seing the newly acquir-
ed friends at the All American
Indian Days, Sheridan, Wyom-
ing. There Campbell will be one
of the three judges for the Miss
Indian American contest.
In his research Capmbell not
ed that the Blackfeet, Blood,
Crow, Sarsi, Ute, Shoshone, On
aha, and Camanche use four
poles as a foundation for the
supporting poles that hold up the
lodge cover, whereas the Chey-
enne, Apache, Teton, Assinni-
boin, Kiowa, eros Ventre, Cree,
Mandan, Arikara, Ponca. Ote and
Wichita use three poles. He
finds that the threepole type is
stronger, offering greater resist
ance to the wind, the Cheyenne
type being the most serviceable
of all; the Crow variety is the
most elegant in shape, though in
ferior in painted decoration to
to that of the Blackfeet, Blood
Dakota, Arapaho and Kiowas.
All the Plains types are far more
impressive than the similarly
shaped types found among the
North Canadian tribes, Siberians
and Laps.
