DURHAM COMES TO
UNITED REFINERY
WE'LL KNOWN OIL OPERATOR TO
HAVE CHARGE OF GREAT
FALLS CONCERN
is Head of Operating Department of
United Oil and Refining Company;
Says Montana Boom is Attracting
Attention of Big Operators Every
where.

Walter M. Dunham, statistician
driller, scout, oil operator for s;
years in the United States, Soutl
America and other foreign countries
is the newest arrival in Great Falls
In connection with the oil boom
which is daily attracting more and
more of the big operators.
The visitor came intent on secur-
ing information regarding the var
ious fields of Montana for his articles
which are appearing regularly in the
Oil and Gas Journal of Tulsa. After
looking around, however, he has de-
cided to remain in Montana. He is
now head of the operating depart
company of Great Falls.
| In speaking of his career in the
oil business, Mr.. Dunham said:
"Over So years continuous resi-
dence in first one then another of
the various oil producing sections of
this country and many foreign fields,
and for more than SO years an act
i've participant in the development
of these fields, provided an excep-
ttonal opportunity for me to witness
the evolution in its various phases
of what has become today one of the
worlds greatest industries.
From few hundred men engag-
ed in the business in the early days,
the industry has expanded until to-
day it furnishes a livelihood for a
population greater than some nations
of the earth; from field develop
ment of few hundred new wells a
year, to present drilling campaign
of $4,000; from an annual yield of
a negligible quantity to an output of
over 469, 100000 barrels in 1921;
from an annual crude oil valuation
of few million dollars to $780,
100000 in 1920; from oil hauled in
barrels on wagons from the wells to
barges on Oil Creek, Pa, to a pipe
line system embracing over 60,0OOl
miles; from two wooden oil tanks on
a flat car, to $1,000 steel tank cars;
from a few crude, one-still refineries
having a limited daily capacity, to
479 at the beginning of the present |
year with daily charging capacity |
of more than 2,164, 600 barrels; from
an original shipment of 40 casks to |
France as an experiment in 1860, to |
an export trade in 1920 of nearly
100000 barrels, having valua-
ton of 100000, and from re-
fined oil shipments in broken ship
load lots, to an oil tanker tonnage
under the American flag last year of
over 100000 tons.
"Such is the history in brief of
he greatest expansion and the grand
est development that any age, or
cline or land has ever known, and
he story of the vast fortunes that
nave been founded upon this indus
.ry constitute the most amazing
chapter in the financial history of
he world; 1t is a chapter to which
new pages are being added from day

Wanted No Favors
In the early ZOOS Butte lawyer |
was taking a late meal in the court |
house restaurant, located near the |
corner of Granite and Alaska streets. |
A man came to the back door and |
asked to be permitted to earn his
supper. The request was granted and |
after the chores were done he was
brought into the dining room to par
AXE of his meal.
The lawyer engaged him in con-
yersation, learned that he was a
stranger in the city and seeking en-
3loyment. 'sYou can get job on the
Ill.," suggested the lawyer, who had
aiken fancy to the stranger, and
'ou can use my meal card until you
ret boarding house."
'sThank you," said the bum
milingly, "but have $500 in the

sity of carrying into life the pre-
cepts and examples they have had
before them during their years in
school, There can be no true
womanlinesa without solid
foundation and practice of Chris
tian principles" he said. Although
none OF us can hope to be perfect,
said Father Buck, all should try to
bring into their lives picture OF
Christ.
