ELK BASIN HAS 27
PRODUCING WELLS
Six Thousand Barrels of Oil Piped
Daily to Frannie for Shipment
Some conception of the production
of the Elk Basin oil field may be
drawn from the folowing information
secured from a most reliable source.
It should be remembered that the Elk
Basin field is a new oil producing
area, not yet a year old, when making
comparisons with productions in other
areas. At present there are 27 pro
ducing wells in Elk Basin and these
produce 6,000 barrels of oil in every
24 hours. The ownership of these
wells is almost equally divided be
tween the two companies operating in
that field; 15 wells belong to the
Ohio company, and 12 to the Greybull
1 Ining Co. or Midwest company.
Another particularly pleasing bit
of oil news this week is reported from
Dry Creek. The delay because of lost
tools has ended and drilling has been
resumed by the Hoyt forces.
To adequately and conveniently
handle the oil produced at Elk Basin,
the Illinois Pipe Line Co. is errecting
the second 37,500 barrel capacity steel
t nk at Frannie and are increasing
the loading racks to accomodate 50
instead of 30 cars. The oil is piped
from Elk Basin to Frannie where it
is loaded into tank cars for shipment
the refinery.
The Typewriter You Will Not
Have to ‘Trade-Out’-and Why
The Royal typewriter does not have to be “traded out.” Its perfect
presswork, its speed and its ease of operation endure.
Royal master-workmen have built extra life into their product—a thorough
going superiority of design and construction which ends the necessity far
“trading-out.”
Compare the work done on the ROYAL. Compare the ease with which
the work is done. Compare the convenience of the ROYAL. It
typewrites letters, cards and does billing and charging—all on one machine
and without a single extra attachment.
Investigate the ROYAL. Study it from all angles. You will quickly
appreciate why the demand for it is testing every resource of the model
ROYAL factory.
Write for “Facts About The Trade Out”—a little book which doesn’t mince
words in telling the story of the typewriter. Every typewriter owner
should have it. We want to place a copy in your hands. A postal
will bring it to you free.

At the Prudential Elk Basin Oil
company’s operations on Silver Tip,
there is nothing startling new to re
port. The under-reaming to continue
a 10 inch hole and casing continues.
This is slow work but insures a clean
hole and avoids delays due to caving
and other troubles and has its com
pensating advantages even if it does
appear as a waste of valuable time.
The arrival of the delayed shipment
of four and a half inch casing will en
able operations to be resumed by the
Elk Basin Oil company at the well on
Cottonwood. Several wagon loads
were started to the property last Sat
urday and the wagon haul will not de
lay work being resumed longer than
the latter part of the week. The col
-dapse of the casing near the bottom of
the hole has necessitated sinking a
new string of casing and the difficulty
of obtaining supplies put an end to
the operations until the casing could
, be made.

LABOR VOTE NOT DELIVERABLE. T
This It the Outstanding Fact Which j
Political Philosopher* Deduce From
the Defeat in Maine of Repre- j
tentative McGillicuddy. ■
From among the numerous lessons
or conclusions which the politieal phi- i
losophers can draw from the Maine
election one lesson or conclusion
stands out more sharply defined than
any other. It jumps ut you.
The labor vote, for the sake of
which the Poltroon Congress tarred
and feathered Itself with Its own
hands only a dozen days ago. is not
deliverable by the traders who pre
tended to sell it.
This salient fact of the election is
illustrated conspicuously in the Sec
ond Congress district. There are few
places within the coniines of our
republic where labor Is relatively
stronger than In the city of Lewiston,
the home city of Representative Me- ,
Glillcuddy, and he has made a s|ie
elalty of it in his own political prac

Cost of Print Paper May Enforce
Suspension Many Country
Papers
o— —
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept 27.
“Unless the 'print paper situation if
relieved before long half the country
papers in the United States will have
to suspend publication, temporarily
at least," Bruce Bliven, head of the
journalism department at the Univer
sity of Southern California, today told
members of the Southern California
Editorial association at the opening
session of their meting.
He proposed co-operative action to
correct the evils responsible for this
condition.
“There is no good reason," he said,
“why newspaper publishers should
not have co-operative buying organiz
ations, purchase in big quantities and
i distribute to their members as the
paper is needed. For that matter
there is no reason why they should
I not get together and build their own
mills, buy their owm timber and make
their own paper.”

CRANDALL CREEK
In an interesting communication
from Frank Sparhawk, as forest
j ranger in the Crandall creek country
: the following paragraphs appear:
“The fishing has been very good
on the Beartooth plateau this sum
mer. The complaint of many, who
had caught fish which were thin and
poor, which condition they attributed
to disease and worms, is a myth. The
! thin fish were thin because they had

1 spawning. Right after breeding time
the trout become very thin.
“The United States fish hatchery
I at Bozeman sent us thirteen cans of
1 brook trout fry, which I distributed
in the chain of lakes. The fry were
shipped to East Bridger and then to
Belfry. Mr. Loftsgaarden of Powell
transported them to A1 Owens of Lit
tle Rocky. James McLaughlin, the
noted guide of the south fork of the
Stinking Water, helped me pack the
fish up onto the Beartooth plateau
where we planted them.
“It would be a good idea if you
would mention the fact to the public
that, on their fishing trips many of
the fishermen and campers are in the
habit of cleaning their fish and throw
ing the offal into the creeks and lakes.
Aside from polluting the water the
practice is against the rules of the
United States forest service and if
heed is not taken, the rule will per
haps be better advertised if some of
the violators are arrested and haled
before a United States commissioner
for trial.
“Morris Buckley, who is herding
sheep for E. M. Clark at the head of
the east fork of Little Rocky, recent-
ly found the bones of a horse in the
rocks. Nearby was a pair of leather
boots, which had apparently been
worn but little, but which had Inin

gnawed by animals and eaten by in

“The boots had good soles and were
thoroughly hob-nailed. The initials
‘ORE’ had been worked into the soles
with nails.
“If there has been anyone,* espec
ially some old-time prospector, who
set out from Red Lodge and never
returned, the description of the boots
may lead to a clue that might ex
plain his mysterious disappearance."

ROOSEVELT’S ANSWER
“Against Mr. Wilson's com
bination of grace in elocution
I with futility In net lon ; against
his record of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we
j II see Mr. Hughes' nigg.il and tin
compromising straightforward
ness of ehnracter and action in
every office he has held. We
put the man who thinks and :
speaks directly, and whose |
words have always tycen made
good, against the man whose
j ! udrolt and facile elocution Is
used to conceul his plans or his
want of plans. The next four
years may well he years of tre
i | mendous national strain. Which
of the two men do you, the
| American people, wish at the
; helm during these four years;
! the man who hits been actually I
tried and found wanting, or the
man whose whole career in pub- I
lit office Is a guarantee of his
power and good faith? Hut one *

u be given by the American people

the United States."—Roosevelt

FOREST NOTES
One ton of conferous wood waste
will produce from 15 to 25 gallons of
190-proof alcohol.
The farm woodlots of the United
States contain about 10 per cert of
•he total standing timber in the coun
try.
Grazing expert* of the Forest Ser
■ vice estimate that the cost of produc
ing lambs in the Northwestern States
.'s $1.82 per head.
The bark of black oak, or “yellow
oak”, as it is often called on account
“f the color of the inner bark, is now
stsed for dye-making.
The stand of timber on the two
"reat National Forest* in Alaska 'S
estimated by the Forest Service as
-"•rr 70 billion board feet, while the
annual growth will, it is said, produce
pulpwood alone for the manufact
ure of three thousand tons of wood
pulp a day.
Oak i* the most suitable wood for
carving, on account of its durability
and toughness, without being too hard.
Chestnut, American walnut, mahogany
j and teak are also desirable, while for
j fine work Italian walnut, lime, syca
more, apple, pear or plum are gener
ally choosen.

CHIMPANZEE SETS TYPE
The Worland Grit publishes a
story to the effect that a chimpanzee
sets the type for the Star-Bulletin
at Honolula and is capable of pro

as the ordinary printer. Just what
idea the Grit man has in publishing
such Y story when he has Bud Kane
for an operator is more than the Cody
bunch of printers is able to fig urP

why send for Big Fox, the chimpan
