Moving pict- Organization of a §5,000,000 com pany to produce, refine and market oil from the holdings of the Gordon Campbell-Kevin syndicate is the plan announced by Mrf Gampbell at the annual meeting of the syndicate held in Lewistown recently. Plans of the Company include a topping plant at Spokane, refinery at Seattle, a pipe line from Shelby to Kevin, and pipeing of water into the field. When this is completed it will be the greatest independent oil com pany in the northwest. The chief factor in bringing about the new company, according to Mr. Campbell, was the low price of crude in the field, 70 cents per barrel. The new'company will take the 14,000 acres of leases of the Campbell-Kevin syndicate and attempt to bring great er returns for the stockholders by re fining the oil. A deal .of much imporance to Cho- teau and vicinity was consumated late last week when Gordon Camp bell associated^ himself with the Choteau Mercantile Company by the purchase of a large block of stock. A directors meeting of the Company was Called and Mr. Campbell was tendered the presidency, which he has accepted. Thos. Freidt hás ac cepted the position of vice president and S. T.

Washington, Jan. 10.—Withdrawal of the American troops from the Rhine was ordered today by President Harding, In announcing the decision the stat department said that the president deemed the time expedient for the recall of the forces now at Coblenz. The American forces remaining in that area number about 1,000 men and it was indicated that the with drawal order would be carried out as soon as the American commander, Major General Allen, could make the necessary arrangements for winding up finally the affairs of\ the army of occupation! ■' y. French official circles expressed great regret this afternoon over the announcement that President Harding has ordered the withdrawal of the American forces in Germany, the news of which was given them by the associated press. The foreign office could furnish no expression for the government as neither the American government nor Ambassador Jusser and had yet communicated the news News of President Harding’s order for withdrawal of the American troops from the Rhine furnished something of a sensation in diplomat ic circles in London. While officials were disinclined to comment to any extent in advance of the official no tice from Washington, it was stated in authoritative circles that the American move was unlikely to affect Great Britain’s policy.
