An Added Question.

The question of what the govern
ment will do with the crude that it
shall transport to the coast has added
an element to the investigation that
is not specifically set forth in the
resolution, but which must be implied.
That is the Feasibility of the govern
ment owning and operating a refinery
or topping plant. For the crude oil
is not fit for fuel and it is worth too
much before the gasoline and lighter
oils are removed TO permit its being
used for fuel. On tins point it is
understood there has been objection
by some refiners who have appeared
before the commission. A long pro
test was filed by an organization of
refners before the commission opened
its hearings.
As to the government owning pro
duction, that has been little objection
In fact, so far as can be ascertained,
there is as much sentiment in favor OF
the government becoming a producer
of petroleum as there is in favor of
ii becoming a carrier. The interest
in this is not material, however, as
the people who are urging a govern
ment pipe line are interested in see
ing their oil reach a market, while
they are not particularly concerned
in the government fuel problem. Be
sides it is assumed that the govern
ment is not likely to become a pro
ducer while production is greater
than carrying facilities. After that it
makes Little difference what the gov
ernment does in the way of produc
tion.
But il IS Broad View.
That last part OF the resolution has
been the means of adding interest to
the investigation in a manner that it
could not inherently have had. The
other purposes phrase is full Of
possibilities for realization OF the
dream of the altruist that the govern
ment viii become a sort Of fairy god
father to the oil Industry and make
It 4 pleasing and eyer-prohtable ven
ture

ple who are interested IN the present
investigation. 10 be sure. But it has

Examination is Thorough.

Every angle of the resolution has
been observed in the investigation.
Persons who have appeared before
the commission have been asked their
\Opinion as to the feasibility of the
project, and almost all have approved
it. Many have given rough estimates
.of the expense of building the line.
That is a matter, however, that the
engineers will be able to report upon
with greater certainty. The same
persons who approved the project as
feasible are assumed to have endorsed
it as desirable. The commissioners
have announced practical unanimity in
favor of the government line, among
the witnesses who have been exam

tically all of these were entirely sin

BUYS IRRIGATED LAND.
Minneapolis Man Believes Williston
District Has Good Future.

Williston. N. D.. Nov. 27.-Eigh.y
acres of land on the irrigation project
about one-half. mile north of the
power plant has been purchased by
Z. o.. Munson of Minneapolis from
Joseph Glasscock. The purchase price
OF the property has not been an
rounced but it is understood the land
was obtained at a very reasonable
figure.
Mr.. Munson who is the most recent
purchaser of irrigated land near Will
iiston Is familiar with irrigation pro-
5ects in Colorado and Montana and
after looking yer the local conditions
declared he had great faith in the
future of the project here.
MI. Munson does not intend to let
his land lie idle. File will return to
Williston as Don as spring opens and
will have the land plowed and will put
in a variety of crops which he thinks
from other experience will succeed
best under irrigation.
