Cato Sells. representing the Indians
as commissioner OF Indian affairs

Indian agent at Muskogee Gabe
Parker, that he must collect all roy
atty on Indian lands at the Sinclair
price OF $1.s5. most unjust ruling
and one that antagoniZes the oil pro-
duccrs at once. IL has n tendency to
Keep down the price. while. in fact.
MIR. Sells should do anything In his
power TO bring about better prices for
his Indian wards. He knows that
some OF them are right now receiving
81 a barrel, or therea bouts above the
market where the oil is going to inde-
pendent refiners. who are paying an
enormous premium in some instances.
In the meantime many contracts
are being signed with Independent re-
fireries by producers here. We're the
Prairie to get peeved and shut down
altogether. as II did a couple OF years
ago. 1t could hardly act as better in
ducement for the producer to sign up
with some refiner than the course II
Is pursuing now.
While there is n big production in
the Butler county field and the
Prairie was caught mapping. II might
be mentioned that when asked by But
Ter county people after the first wells
were drilled in over there If they were
coming in. the Prairie remarked thru
one of It's leading officials: There has
never been good pool uncovered in
Kansas and we don't look for II now"
which is Just exactly the same thing
said by some OF the STANDARD crowd
when visiting Bartlesville at the time
oil was being found along the east
line of the Usage.
1t all sums up in this: The Stand
ard has failed TO rise to the situation
not once. but many times. and inde-
pendent refiners have waxed fat on
the lack Of judgment displayed. The
oil men are mad and are going In
flocks to the said refiners. and when
the time comes that the Prairie boosts
the price again IL will find that il is
too late. One day delay has hurt the
business.

Among the Rcfincrs.

The refiners are inclined to view
the situation as critical for the reason
that for long time the Standard has
been instituting new policy, for in
stance, at Chicago 1t has been INSTALL
ing filling stations. leaving no margin
between the tank wagon price and the
retail price. II begins to look tough
for Independent oils in that town. But
long ago. the old timers among the re-
finers and marketers quit trying to
guess out what the Standard was going
to do and only take things as they
come. AS one man puts 1t, Sin a game
where conditions change over night"
Higher prices are looked for on ac-
count of the big demand, which has
come with warm weather, and while
refined stuff is going up. higher prices
for crude is naturally expected.

New Capital An pan-American.

The Pan-American Refining COM
pany, with magnificent plant in
West Tulsa. has taken on new life
and new capital and will henceforth
have to be reckoned with as one Of
the larger concerns in the Mid-Con-
tinent field. The new stockholders,
who will also hold important posi-
tions are as follows: c. +. Hopkins,
who has been identified with the man
agement of the Union National bank
since II started on its remarkably sue
cessful career, is now vice-president
and general manager; William Sacks
of st. Louis. prominent corporation
attorney and we'll known in Tulsa for
his ability and activity In the oil
operations. is vice president also and
general counsel; Joseph McNeal of~the
American National bank Is treasurer;
President Burke Of the Pan American
will be president as heretofore, and
will continue his great work started
year ago as the head of the concern,
and Myers Cross, who has been per-
haps, more than anyone, responsible
for the success of the American,
will be secretary and continue his
work as sales manager.
The plant, which will be completed
in September, will have refining ca
pacity of 5000 barrels, and the wax
plant will be started at once. 1t will
cost a half million and will pay for
itself in short order. A pipe line into
the southeastern country is on the
way and construction work will short
ly begin.
The fact that Mr.. Hopkins will as
sumo charge as general manager
means that all the financial details
will be carefully looked after and II
will be sure of success from the start.
His work in the bank will be dropped
so far as active participation in the
affairs of that institution are con-
cerned and he will devote his full time
to the refining company. Among those
who were fortunate stockholders and
made good profit thereby were
Messrs. Stebbins and Eyesenbaugh, II.
Il. Kellough, w. A. Moore, formerly
agent of the Frisco, Frank Rudolph
and many eastern stockholders. The
amount involved in the transaction
yesterday was said to be in the neigh
borhood Of s750,000.
