Bio Gas Oil Contract
at Record High Price
From Wall Street Journal.

From wall street JournaL
Brooklyn Union Gas company
has closed a contract with Standard
oil of New York for 100000 gal
Ions OF gas oil at 1913 cents gal
lon, including transportation costs
TO the works. This covers require
ments for the first half OF 1921 with
tho option to renew at the same
price for needs in tho second half
of the year.
This il the highest price ever paid
by a local gas company for gas oil
under contract. II represents an IN
crease Of five cents gallon over
the contract made by BROOKLYN
Union for the first half OF 1920. The
advance Is equivalent to an increase
of s2,250,0O0 in the cost OF the half
years supply over the cost In ths
first six months OF 1920.
Since last July Brooklyn Union
has been purchasing Its oil on spot
delivery and paying ~ cents or more

had blocked the acreage. Mr.. Victor
Is given credit by the Constantin
people and is also responsible for
structure which appears to be max
ing good at Ralston and Pawnec
county.
The bunch will find things much
10 their liking at Eldorado as II
certainly looks like an oil country
over there. II has looked good
enough to Tulsa operators as to at
tract such people as w. G.. Shelley
and Grant Stcbbins, both of whom
appear To be inside the money. The
well. which Is causing all the ex-
element, was almost given up as q
failure on Pccount of the cavey for
nation but was cemented on top of
the sand and finally drilled In sun
dav by DR. Bussey. who Is in charge.
That the well will lead TO lot of
drilling goes without saying, and
seems to indicate that there will be
a lot of town lots drilling later on
and that in the meantime the White
Oh corporation and the Constantin
people. together with the Home oil
and refining. are all likely to get oil
by deeper drilling. There are many
reports in circulation as to water in
the we'll, one which was received
by the Prairie Oil & Gas Co. to the
effect that the well IN making 10 900
barrels OF oil and water, 10 per cent

The bunch will arrive on the
ground this morning and will soon
be In n position to give exact de-
tails. There will he plenty OF fun
for the boys making the trip and
here's hoping that they find things
much to their liking. 1t has been
easily recognized for n long time
that Eldorado In situated in a
country that looks like an oil coun.

enough to remind one of the hes,

certainly entitled to credit for the
manner IN which they are sitting
tight when ita comes 10 playing the
ga me as 1t should be played in this
time of depression in consumption,
as with one accord all are taking
. care of the oil If impossible to leave
In the ground.
1t is not being left TO the Prarie
and the rest of the pipe line com
paihcs to bear the burden. not this
lime In the year OF our Lord 1921,
because the oil producers them
selves are either going to leave the
oil In the sand and below the sur
face or are going to pile 1t up on
top of the ground and will see that
1t stays there until the price is suf-
| ficienty high to take care OF the
added expense of storing.
So far as wildcatting 10 concerned,
there will be but mighty few wells
brought In that can be counted on as
affecting the market. This IN well

| things go nowadays, to get a pipe
| line in, and the chances are that
| this oil 'is OF the lubricating variety
| that usually goes in tank cars.
There should be no more cutting

are claiming that they are not get

will give the pipe lines ample time
to catch up and get the oil into the

| things are now with everyone wvnd
ering where the supply OF oil for the
worlds needs Is coming from.
Inasmuch. however. as tho runs
were cut in 1915 the following very
interesting history Is given.
| The Prairie Oil & Gas Co. cut the
runs July S. 1915, to rs per cent
with tho price per barrel standing
at $1.55. on July "a. the runs were
| again cut to 60 per cent, and the
price was marked down the neX'
| day to S1.45 per barrel. The runs
were against cut on July 20 to 81
per cent, with further cut in pric,
| uly " o'NS"
the price dropped to $l,25. or
August Z the price was put dowr
to $1,l5, August IL to LOS. Angus
Is to 95 cents, August 26 to 80 cents
where It remained until November
20, when 1t advanced to VI, aftei
which 1t increased until August IL
1917, the price stood at S2.50 pei
barrel, a total advance In ?55 days
Of si.l0 per barrel which meant
an added revenue to the oil producer
tof $1,100 per thousand barrels.
On March IS, 1918. the marke'
advanced 25 cents per barrel ano
five additional 25-cent per barre
increases have brought the marke
quotation per barrel to $3.50. There
was a total increase from Novembei
2s, 1916. TO February 2s, 1870. o
$3.50 per barrel or $4,000 pc
thousand barrels.
AS showing the difference to th'
oil producer as regards these pric'
advances. the following figures arr
given. They will help the oil pro
ducer greatly when 1t comes to shut

JAP EX-SPEAKER
DEGREES WAR TALK
Saburo Shimado Believes Questions
Pending Between Japan and Uni
ted States Easily Solved.
fsv The Associated Press.)

TOXIC, July lex Speaker Sa-
buro Shimada, of the house of repre-
sentatives who, because of his ora
toricaI powers. is often called by Jap
anese the Wendill Phillips of Japan,
Is contributing series OF articles to
the Nichinichi 5himbun on relations
with the United States, in which he
depIores and decries talk of war. The
DISTINGUISHED parliamentarian holds
that II the situation between the two
countries is studied from q broad,
statesnanlil5e attitude such talk will
become meaningless.
He says: Possibly there are no Jap
anese who seriously think that Japan
is able to attack America across the
Pacific, as there will be no
Americans who dream of an invasion
of Japan. Some think that the inmi-
grafton question will probably fur
nish a casus belli between Japan and
the United States, while others are of
the opinion that the scramble for
rights and interests will lead the two
countries TO war. These questions are
not Of such a nature as to be solved
by an appeal to arms. American mis-
understandings about japan may be
dispelled by the efforts Of diplomats
who can explain the general tenden-
cfes of the world, and Japan's posi-
ton, plainly and feariessly. Immigra-
