Williston, Aug. 1S.-The Pioneer
Oil and Gas company has secured
from the city of W1lliston franchise
to lay mains and supply the citizens
with natural gas.
The company has secured all the

tory of the oil and gas industry in the
United States have there been so
many drilling rigs working as during
the present year. The company has
negotiated Thorough their representa-
