Twelve trains OF sixty cars each,
representing lac. 900 barrels or 1900.
900 gallons of gasoline were shipped
by the Standard Oil company. Plant

cording to t. S. Cooke, manager OF
the Rocky Mountain division of thai
company.
It's gasoline. which is being sold
for port trade. is slightly less than
the shipments of April. due to that
fact that the entire mount of gaso
line manufactured during the mont
was not completely finished.
The crude runs made by Plant No.

900 barrels daily. or slightly over / 900
barrels mor each day than were run
during the month of April, according
to MI. Cooke.
In speaking of the recent tank fire
Mr.. Cooke said that the loss by fire in
crude oil was so insignificant tina it
vas impossible to measure it in an
Sc, ooo-barrel tank. The IS. 900 loss was
caused by the burning of the wooden
roof and the expenditure of chemicals
used in extinguishing the blaze.
