fornia, the long-pending controversy

years. 1t was discovered that these
errors resulted in almost every in
stance in giving California more land
than she was entitled to and the a.g-
sregate amounted to considerable
acreage No statement was made be-
yond the fact that a basis of settle
ment had been reached and that to-
days agreement required only the rati-
fication of the attorney general and
governor of California to become eff

It's to the refner on the products OF a
barrel OF Kansas crude oil. 2S degrees
gravity, Is $3.50. That includes the
profits on gasoline. kerosene, machine
oils. fuel oils. but not on coke. OF
which there Is small percentage.
There have been many statements
by promoters Of refinery propositions
as to profits on the by-produces oi
Kansas crude oil. Undoubtedly the
profit varies with the grade OF oil.
There Is more profit In a barrel OF
80 degree oil or "a degree oil than
there is In q barrel Of 2S degree oil, for
the reason there is q greater percent
age of gasoline and kerosene In the
high grade oil. AS the four inde-
pendent refineries in operation In
Kansas at this time are all using low
grade oil the figures given above rep
resent their profit. The Kansas in
dependent refneries as yet are not
making all the by-products which are
made by the Standard company re-
finery in Neodesha, and therefore
their profits are not as large rs the
profits Of the Standard on the same
Grade OF oil.
