*o* L ,?°e , e OF Ty THE CARBON COUNTY CHRONICLE MONTANA'S BEST WEEKLY .. RED LODGE, CARBON COUNTY, MONTANA, FRIDAY. MAY 16TH, 1924. VOLUME I. NUMBER 9. $2.50 PER YEAR CAMPAIGN CAN USE MORE ACTIVE WORKERS AU DISTRICTS OFFER EXCELLENT OPENINGS TO GOOD WORKERS There is lots of room in every one of the three sections for added start ers in the Chronicle Salesmanship Campaign. It looks like it is going to be a sure enough cinch for active candidates to win the Wg «wards in the campaign which is just starting and continues until July 2. While there are many who have sent in their name.: «nd oil ers who have been nominated by some friend there are many soft spots, of mighty good campaign territory -entirely un condition may be owing to hurried reading of the advertising or an idea that these big prizes are to be ob tained by a long hard period of work. One who has obtained receipt books and started to work outside of Red Lodge tells the sales manager that she is determined to win tbe Gard ner Tourdeluxe car and tämo the ex tra$100.00 to be given the one with the highest credit, outside of Red Lodge, at 10 o'clock tbe night of May 31st. This determination to do one's best is the spirit that brings success. This is in the thought of some of the can didates in Red Lodge also because the high score May 81 in Sections One or Two (Red Lodge) wins the Gold Watch. The winner of that will be in a very fine peuation 'tao reach for the Gardner car. Both these special awards will be announced by the judges at the close of the main campaign, July 2. The best way for the candidates to go about winning of these prizes ia to have his or her name printed in the list of candidates, (which will be printed next week) in order that in terested friends may know of the candidates desire to get support. Again it may be that some friend now getting the chronicle as a sam ple sent by the publisher to them, without charge, will see the name in the paper and at o ace send in their order with instructions to give the credits to the candidate. If the can didate goes right to work and covers the field reasonably quick there will be lots of orders obtained. Suscrip tions like this will be dated as start ed when the order ia given to the candidate, the proceeding copies not being charged for. In other words, the one receiving a sample copy is under no obligation to subscribe, its a matter of free choice. ( ♦ With such an array of rich awards the Gardner $1266.00 Teardeluae HS car for the highest number of credits, the $200 diamond ring for the sec ont highest number of credits, the $110.00 Victrola, for the third high est number of credits at the close of the Salesmanship Campaign July 2, many friends of the paper have ex-1 pressed the opinion that these three awards would be quite enough to give, especially as a ten per cent f commission will be paid all who do ; not win an award of some value, j But the publisher thinks this way j about it—tbe more prizes given the I more candidates there will be boost- : ing circulation, which is sure to bring ln more subscribers than having only i a few workers. That's sure enough i And so after the three highest hard I hitters have won the three big awards they become disqualified to win any others excepting the specials on May 31. That will leave three others as leaders In each of the three sections each of them will get a $50 merchan dise award. Every other active can didate will get a cash commission on evç-,y dollar he or she collects. Every body gets well paid.

I / The information given here regard ing a trip made last winter in a Gard ner car will show the class of the prize being offered by the Chronicle. 1 T P. Sandels is the Red Lodge agent from whom the purchase was made and that gentleman furnished the data from which this very interesting story is taken. "Cannon Ball" Baker is a famous driver of cars in test runs. The Gard ner Motor Company began negotia tions with Mr. Baker at Chicago, Feb ruary 2nd, and an agreement was fin ally reached and concluded on Feb ruary 8th. A car with an All-Season top on it that had been in the service of the Production Department was se lected to make a trip from New York to Los Angeles in midwinter with a Gardner car. On the 10th, the All Season top was replaced with a Sedan I body. The car was then thoroughly checked, oiled and greased, and Baker left with it for New York on Febru ary 12th. It was a standard stock job in every respect. Leaving New York on the heels of a terrific snowstorm, shortly after "Cannan Ball" Baker left Philadelphia, he ran into one of the worst blizzards the East has known for many a year. Natives of the Allegheny Mountains and U. S. Official Weather Reports verify this. From thence on he en countered great drifts of snow, roads covered with ice so treacherous that many cars had either gone over em bankments or had been abandoned al together. He encountered fogs so dense that vision ten feet beyond the car was im possible; mud roads between St. Louis and Kansas City that had been de clared impassable and over which no car had passed for two weeks; beyond this, more mud, sand, rocks and snow; but through all this Gardner came ont victorious. The run from New York to Los An geles with a closed car was made in 4 days 14 hours and 16 minutes run ning time and is what Mr. Baker states is his "outstanding achieve ment" in car running. His signed statement follows:—"This was my six ty-fourth trip across the country in which I have driven different makes of cars. I can conscientiously say that Gardner is more real car for the mowey than any other car I have ever driven, and in this I mean what ! say, because I have just purchased a Gard wer Sedan for my own personal use. "I was simply amazed at its ability ;withstand the terrific tests through which it was put without showing any evidence «f abuse or deterioration. I '"'iB tell you, if the public knew as ranch about the Gardner car as I do, > ro ' u couldn't begin to build enough of them.' To attempt to describe the condi tions under which "Cannon Ball" Bak er dorve a Gardner Sedan christened the "Blizzard" from New York to Los i Angeles, ifnour days fourteen hours I and fifteen minutes running time in j the dead of winter, would not be do-1 ing justice to either the car or its re -1 markable driver. ■CANNON BALL" BAKER. i Words cannot express the treachery 1 and danger of the ice and snow-cover- : ed roads through the Alleghenies; the j fog, slush and ice through Ohio, In-jP diana aod Illinois, and the impassable,. nearly bottomless mud roads St. Louis and Kansas City; the de structiveness of the sand, rocks and practically roadless sections of part of I the route between Kansas City and Los Angeles; thus the factory has concluded to tell the story with pic- 1 tures taken en route and then let the public judge for itself. , j Mr. Sandels will bbe glad to show n tbe Salesmanship Campaign or to copies of these pictures to candidates or others interested. The factory secured the services of Mr. H. F. Van Horn a weil known In- 1 dianapolis newspaper man, who was selected to accompany Baker as an official observer, to give an account, qf th* entire trip. Being engaged to officially check time required, gas and olt consuwrp tion, etc., and not as a consequence any j - SENATE STANDS BY PRESIDENT Motion to Pass Bur sum Measure over Presidential Action Fails 53 to 28 or Single Ballot Leas Than Two Thirds. . Washington, May 13.—President Coolidges wet® of the Bursum pension bill was sustained today in the sen ate. The action crowned with success the first attempt of Mr. Coolidge to block legislation by exercise of the veto power. Like President Harding, he disap proved the bill because of the expense involved. The measure would have granted pension increases to the vet erans of several wars. The vote to override was 63 to 28 one vote less than the two-thirds re quired. Thirty-two Republicans and the two Farm-Labor senators voted to over ride the veto while 16 Democrats vot ed to sustain it. ALBERTA BACK IN WET COLUMN Canadian Province Returns to Sale of Liquor After Eight Years Dry Pep )(«! After eight years of alcoholic dry ness the province of Alberta woke up wet the morning of May 12. Last November the voters of the province decided to substitute government sale of liquor for prohibition which was decreed by the people in 1916 and be came effective the following year. The act adopted in November was pro claimed to be effective May 12. BEOYED MATRON CALLED BY DEATH ' Mrs. j acob Durst died suddenly at | the Durst Luther borne. Since a Cancer the dread disease of all ailments claimed another victim on Wednesday mid-afternoon when recent examination by the Mayo Brp ^herg at Rochester, and upon which I her case had been pronounced hope j«*. jjr*.

Jacob Durst wooed the heart 0 f this fair lady, so Miss Sweet be came his bride a year after, or twen ty-six years ago. Her husband, and four children Ronald, Rhoda, Mrs. Charles Russell and Markin-five splendid specimens of manhood and womanhood remain to grieve the name of a loyal wife and mother. Always patient and uncomplain ing, with a sweetness attributed to a true gentlewoman, and a winning nature that shall be fondly remem bered by her host of admirers, The funeral will take place at 2 Friday, and interment made in D 1 ® Luther cemetery. i between-! way interested in the Gardner car, the story is presented strictly from standpoint of a disinterested observer He speaks, however, volumes for the worthiness of the Gardner Car. "From New York to Los Angeles j in seven days in mid-winter.

MIDWEST'S WELL BIG OIL GUSHER | ridb.ry >f the Mid-west, which has I been UnLing ih lease, succeeded in the oil in by use of a swedge Lake Basin Field Proves oil When Hepp Well is Brought In as Big Gusher. Gusher production of a high grade of oil has been encountered in the Hepp well of the Midwest Refining company on the Big Luke structure of the Lake Busin, 80 miles northwest of Billings in Stillwater county. Present indications give the well status of the most important discovery in Montana, say experienced oil men. The well blew itself in at 8 o'clock Monday night and under the Impetus of tremendous gas pressure it gushed over the top of an 84-foot derrick at intervals of between three and four hours during the night. — Early Tuesday morning a crew of ifo Mid-Northern Oil company a suA -1 -•!'» : ■ While officials of the Mid-Northern would make no estimate of production rapidity with which the casing fills , makes estimate of 1,500 barrels a day seem conservative. The oil was found first Sunday aft ernoon at a debth of 3,824 feet, when j the drilling crew, upon encountering * a hard sand lowered the bailer and brought it up half full of oil Opera ! tors, officials of the Mid-Northern were notified. Preparations were being made to run a string of six and five , im b casing Inside of the eight dl-wh.ch rests some 600 feet above bottom of the hole, and at 5 oclock j Monday afternoon the crew noted the i <'*1 »'«pully rising in the hole. Three I hnur8 oil flowed over the top, and j within a very short time came the first eruption, an eight-inch stream of or ange-hued liquid, a spectacular sight in the light of the two flares burning at each side of the well to relieve gas pressure encountered in the upper horizons. Three hours later the erup tion was repeated and then at inter vals during the night until Installation of a swedge nipple shut flow in the eruptions were continued. The sand in which the oil was en countered appears very hard, lime," as one operator interested in a large way in the structure described it. Since tools wore pulled out of the hole 'like before the bit had penetrated more than a foot of the sand, it is impossible to estimate as to just what extent the well has blown itself. Establish met.*; of oil channels to the hole and a con sequent lessening of the resistance may bring flush production up to a very high ifgure, while on the other hand a shallow sand might have the opposite effect. There is no log of wells in the whole area on which es timate of depth of the producing sand, the Dakota, can be based. Returns After Visit With Eastern Friends Concluding an enjoyable trip thru several eastern cities Mrs. F. H. Alden arrived home Wednesday where she was greeted with enthusiasm by her friends of a life time.
