W iïm ’ SbèVôÎÿ ..,,, v! ■■ % VOLUME X , CHOTEAU, TETON COUNTY, MONTANA, AUGUST 25, 1922 NUMBER 7 U. S. SEËÏOR WELLINGTON D. RANKIN was -bom on a ranch in Missoula county. He knows and understands the prob lems of the people of Montana.. As a member of the United States Sen- -ato he will work for those measures' necessary for the success of the pro- -duoer and consumer of the west, .measures which have been without m i active republican champion in the United States Senate from Montana :for many years. Progressive and fearless he will -continue the fight for the west that was so ably inaugurated by the late Co. Theodore Roosevelt. Rankin will use his best efforts to restore the provisions of the long and .short haul bill. The main provision of his measure has been practically nullified as far as the west is con cerned. Wool is shipped at a rate •86c lower from Seattle to Boston t.ha'n from central Montana points to Bos ton. This one example shows how the producer and consumer of Mon- •tana are penalized hundreds of thousands of these each year. Rankin as a member of the senate will fight to eliminate this gross discrimination •against Montana people. Rankin pledges himself to help se cure effective legislation to regulate the packers trust which is crucifying -one of the state’s chief industries. Rankin will use every effort to re deem the pledge of Theodore Roose velt made to the stockmen and farm ers of the west, that the grazing fees on our national forest reserves be restored to the charges stipulated in the original bill, which pledge was broken and charges doubled since .Roosevelt’s time. Rankin believes that the- stockmen •and farmers are entitled to a longer .and more elastic credit system to meet their requirements. Rankin stands for a .protective tar iff on wool and other Montana pro ducts, that our local people may en joy the same advantages that the manufacturers and other interests in the east have so long monopolized. Rankin will support the Farm Bloc, recognizing is as the only efficient .means of counteracting Wall Street • and manufacturing blocs which have •so long dominated, this country. Rankin will work to the end that Montana shall receive its proportion of reclamation funds; that projects now under construction will be com pleted at the earliest possible date, •and other legitimate enterprises ¿started. Rankin will continue as he has in •the past to be the champion of the working man in his fight for better -conditions. Rankin stands squarely for an ad justed compensatoiion as recommend- -ed by the American Legion and allied • organizations, for your boys who •served in the World War, contending that it is nothing less than a crime to temporize in doing justice to the men who fought for this country while foreign countries are using our money to pay compensation to their soldiers and equipping armies. Rankin will fight for the repeal of the Esch-Cummins Act. Rankin will fight for the stabiliza tion of silver that the hundreds of rsmall mining claims throughout Mon tana may resume operations. Rankin as attorney general of the -state of Montana has lived up to ever pre-election promise made. Rankin as official advisor to the Tjoard of examiners held deficiency claims illegal and as a result the board saver three-quarters of a mil lion dollars to the taxpayers of t'.e stare. LEW. L. tSLLill FOR CHIEF JUSTICE \ Judge Lew. L. Callaway of Great Falls, is among the few pioneer Mon tanans who entered the legal profes sion with a background of a family and many other relatives engaged in the same pursuit. Now he is round ing out a career of 31 years practice in Montana with his name on the re publican ballot in the, primary elec tion for the nomination for chief jus tice of the supreme court, the office at present held by Judge Theodore Brantley, his cods in. Judge Callaway’s father, Col. James E. Callaway, of the 21st Illinois reg iment of the Civil war, was one of the first lawyers in Montana, follow ing his resignation of the office of secretary of 'the state when Montana was a territory. Colonel Callaway's grandson, a Great Falls resident, fol lowed the footsteps of the Colonel's early career, enlisting in the navy during the World War and in 21 months service, devoted six of them on submarines in the danger zone. From a legal practice which start ed in White Sulphur Springs in 1891, Judge Lew. L. Callaway moved to his boyhood home in Virginia City, in which section of Montana he rode the range from the age of nine until his 22nd year. His record in 'brief is, county at torney Madison county, three terms; supreme court commissioner under Justices W. H. Poorman and John B. Cayberg, two years; district judge fifth district, two terms; member of Montana State Conservation commis sion with David Hilger and Judge Rudolph von Tobel; president Mon tana- Bar association in 1918; mem ber General Council American Bar association, as representative of Montana since 1919; member bar examiners board since its creation. ST. STEPH E N 'S CH U R CH i ^Protestant Episcopal) Momer Ellis Bush, Minister Sunday Services: 12:00. m. Sunday School. Owing to the absence of the pastor from the city there will be no church on Sunday, August 27th. The new reason's activities begin with the following Sunday, Sept. 3rd, with both morning and evening’ wor ship and the reorganization of the Sunday School. Dune Stewart of Bynum was a Choteau business visitor Sunday. . Rankin has vigorously co-operated with the officers of the various counties in the enforcement of all laws. Rankin introduced a resolution lowering the rentals of state grazing lands during the drouth season. Rankin has insisted upon an epuit- able tax upon mineral reservations rights unjustly held by the railroads. Rankin is a graduate of the Univer sity of Montana, Harvard University and Harvard Law School, he is pres ident of the Lewis and Clark Bar association, and is one of the fore most trial lawyers in the state. 1-Ie enlisted as a private in the tank corps for service in the ¡World War, and he is a member of the American Leigon. His many years of active and successful law practic.e his ef ficient administration as attorney general makes him especially fitter for the office of United States Senator from Montana. A principle is at issue, “Will Mon tana keep with Pennsylvania, Indi ana, Iowa, Nebraska or fall into the reactionary column. • Patriotism and s Business Every good citizen at this time should do his share toward strengthing the Federal Reserve Banicing System which our govrnment has ere. ated with its billion dollars of resources to stand back of its member banks and all their depositors You can contribute directly to the strength of this system, and at the same time secure its pro tection by depositing your money with eus, since part of eveiy dollar goes directly into the new system, where it is always ready for you when wanted- This is a suggestion for prompt action.

Iltll,Mill.....nnjg SUNBURST-ROYCE W ELL COMES IN AS PRODUCER GRAY-ASKEW On Saturday, August 12, C. W. Tha Sunburst-Royce well No. 1 came in at 1,875 feet Sunday after noon with an estimated flow of 25,- 000,000 feet of wet gas. The well is now flowing oil and water and teams are at work building reservoirs. The well is located in section 23, town ship 36, range 2 west, a mile north of the Ohio-Hannon well, and in the same horizon. It is reported that sands were struck, and mud and oil shot over, the derrick when it was held by a cave in. As to the amount of production, we are unable to get accurate figures, but it is thought to be large. Should events prove the early estimates correct, the influence upon the oil industry of Montana cannot be conceived and the prices of acreage in this field will mount skyward. G L A D YS-B E L L E A COMMERCIAL W E L L Wednesday afternoon the Gladys- Belle in section 18; township 35 north range 2 west came in to production with an estimate of 100 barrells per day. The Gladys-Belle is a Texas con cern. All accounts agree that there was an entire absence of water. The drill was stopped at 1635 feet, either at the top of the Ellis or at the bot tom of the Kootenai sands. This is the second well in the Kevin field to come in this week. Gray of Choteau and Irene M. Askew, daughter of Fred N. Askew of Cas cade, were united in holy wedlock at the ranch home of Rev. J. H. Little, near Cascade. The couple were at tended by Miss Gladys M. Askew and Robert K. Gray. Mr. Gray’s father was one of Teton county’s first county commissioners. The young couple are spending their honeymoon in the Yellowstone national park. County Superintendent of Schools Edythe Saylor, while at Helena last Thursday as a delegate of the East ern Star, took the opportunity to ar range with Miss Amalie Knobel, state superintendent of rural schools, on plans for the coming school ,year. A series of teacher meetings will be held in Teton county from the 2nd to 7th of October, consisting of spec ial work in geography, standart tests, marking of papers, playground super vision and public health. October 2nd a meeting will be held at Power, 3rd and 4th will be spent to visit and test schools, 5th and 6th meet ings will be at Choteau while the 7th will be taken up with a meeting at Bynum. Miss Knobel will assist in the con ducting of the various meetings and we will add that this plan has prov en very satisfactory because all the work is based on one course of study and the expense will be a minor fac tor to Teton county. Reports from the Giant Petroleum well near Flume, shows that the drill, has penetrated to a depth of about 50 feet and that operations are now in- progress to case off water which was encountered. The coal situation has been quite a drawback, but Mr. Gray, th e superintendent, gives the information .th a t, h e h a s this in band a t th is tim e , an d th a t drilling will p r ^ ^ . r a ^ H ^ ^ r-now\oa. • Mrs. Saylor’s duties in the office make it impossible for her to get out and campaign. She informs us that at this time she is just getting the work-in line to show results with the one term that will soon expire. Also that our lust legislature necessitated an extra amount of work in her of fice in the way of financial reports, distribution of oil and gas, annexation of territory, from ChoteaU county and the ^Main’s ant '-for*&ondlbg. - Miss Lenora Harbo'ugh is visiting at the Hanson home.
