: Is unduly depressed in the interest
OF the refining companies. Tbs Mid.
west Refining company md Standard
on Of Indiana. which recently took
over control OF the Midwest company,
which transactions a " Standard OF
Indiana n monopoly in tho Rocky
Mountain fields, arc the principal buy
ers OF crude oil in that section. and
they appear TO have maintained a
price far out OF line with oil values in
other parts OF the country. and to
their wi especial advantage.
The outstanding feature OF the
Wyoming OIL situation TO late is the
great OF the Midwest Rein
ing company, which Is based entire.
ly on production from tho Wyoming
fields. and the success OF Standard OF
company OF Indiana which IS due in
part to Its Wyoming assets. Mid.
west Refining has succeeded because
OF production from the Salt Creek.
Big Muddy. Rock River md other
fields in Wyoming. but the producing
companies have not succeeded rela-
lively. and their stockholders are OF
the opinion that It IS due entirely to
the act that they are not getting a
air price for oil. In other words. the
refining company is making most Of
h money oil of the production OF
tho state.
First Move to Correct Situation.
The FIRST action taken Toward Sc
curing n fairer price for Wyoming
crude oil was by George Z. Brimmer.
general counsel of the Kasoming OIL
company. known as n subsidiary OF
tho Prairie oil & Gas company. the
big Standard on producing and pur-
chasing company in the m~id-continent
field. who filed n complaint with Gov
ernor Carey OF Wyoming on existing
prices OF oil in hat state.
At 90 cents a barrel. Salt Creek pro
duction Is the cheapest crude oil in
tho country. In quality Il ranks with
Pennsylvania crude, but the compare
son stops there, as Pennsylvania
crude is quoted nj 81. Mid-continent
crude. to which Salt Creek production
is superior. is quoted at $3.50 a bar
rel.
A price for Wyoming crude similar
to m~id-continent would be regarded as
fair by stockholders OF the producing
properties. There is more gasoline i
put than in midcontinent crude and
its lubricating qualities r higher.
Briefly tho situation is one where
the refining companies have had all
the advantage TO the detriment of
shareholders OF such companies as
Salt Creek Producers. Mountain Pro
ducers. Sinclair. Texas, Merritt, Elk
Basin and Midwest Oil.

"The objection is purely religious
one and is based upon a passage OF

the firm conviction and belief of the

Does the Mississippi River Flow Up Hill?
= GORGE OTIS SMITH, director Of

~ GORGE OTIS SMITH, director of
" the United States geological sur
vey, solved the old school debating So
cleties' problem whether the Mississlp-
pi river does or does not flow uphill
and settled the question scientifically
for all time. Here Is the answer:
some describe down or at lower
level as the point nearer the center OF
the earth, and consider the upper as
the one further from the center.
''If only a small area Is considered
this Is practically true, but in referring
10 widely separated localities, such as
the source and the mouth Of the Mis-
slsslppl river, such definition would
Mead to an absurdity, and must there
Fore be incorrect.
NOW, as the equatorial radius Of
the earth Is about thirteen miles
greater than the polar radius and as
the intermediate radll differ In length
between the limits, and as the source
Of the Mississippi is nearly 10 degrees
Of latitude further north than its
mouth, 1t follows that the mouth OF
the river is about four miles further
from the center of the earth han Its
