Federal prohibition men, aided by
deputies from the office of Sheriff Bob
Gordon and Sheriff Hammaker of Fort
benton. frightened up on a dry net
Friday that resulted in the arrest of
II persons charged with selling liquor
and the securing of evidence at is
plaees. Arrests to be made today will
probably bring the number up to ~
er -, according to E. M. Welliver,
chief of the field forces of federal men
n Montana. Deputy Sheriffs Fred
auotari. Herbert Locke and J. Fl.
Abrams assisted the federal men.
Start Raid early
Plans for the raid started Friday
have been under way since October,
Mr.. Welliver said. At least one or two
men have been at work gathering evil
dence all Of the time. During the last
two days the forces that swung into
action Friday have been driDbling into
Great Falls one and two at a time
to avoid attracting attention. The men
met at the United States marshafl's
office in the federal building and left
in pairs Of two to raid the first set
Of eight places simultaneously at 1915
o'clock.
The places to be entered were
divided into four zones, two pairs of
men working in each one 1t was
planned that the most of them would
be at their second place by 1920. In
some cases the alleged operators de-
sired were not available, but evidence
was taken with the idea of making
the arrests either later in the day OF
today.
All arrests were made on federal
warrants issued either by Commits
sioner j. II. Brass at Helena or W. S.
Frary of Great Falls. Those arrested
were arraigned before Commissioner
Frary, bail being fixed at $500.

Harrison VIII Drill
Two More in Basin
snecial To The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Billings, Dec. S.--Preparations TO
drill two more wells in the Lake Basin
are being made by j. f. Harrison, who
Thanksgiving day shot in a 20-barrel
producer near Gibson. Mr.. Harrison
believes he will develop a field to emo
pare in area with the Sweetgrass arch.
He points out an advantage in that
case, as the drilling will require but
half the depth required in the north
country.
His well struck oil at TIT feet, after
which the drill was sunk through 33
feet Of saturation and the well was
then shot. He judges from Salt Greek
and Big Muddy oil results-also being
in the Shannon sands-and from the
gas production in the Havre Eagle
sands well. that his Gibson hole will
be d long-lived producer.

BASIS FIXED
FOR PRICES
OF FUEL OIL
M
Mid-COntinent Field Product to
Command 60 Per Cent of
Crude Value.

Stabilizing of prices on fuel oil in
the MIDI Continent fields has been
made by the refineries of the Western
Petroleum Refiners' association on the
basis of go per cent Of the posted
crude price, according to a report re-
ceived by Edwin Hyland Of the Gladys
Belle Oil Il Refining company from the
Tulsa offices of the Gladys Bell.
Under the new plan, the basis OF
the percentage price is the average
of the seven quotations placed on
crude in the Mid Continent on a gray
ity basis.
THE definite placing of the fue.
oil price on a percentage of the posted
crude price is an important step IL
the industry" said Hyland. Strange
ly enough it was high prices on fue.
oil that worked a big hardship on the
refining industry. At one time the
price of fuel oil. due to war demands
and the like, Went up equal to and be
yond the posted price on crude. WheI
fuel oil went up to the n~eighborhood
of So a barrel, several industries that
had been using this product found that
it was more expensive than coal. They
began taking out their oil burners will
the result that the industry was Grip
pied when the slump came
THE price agreed upon by r%efinerS
for computing the value of fuel OF
when purchased at a certain percent
age of the price Of crude oil at S1.521a
a barrel. Under this basis the price
of fuel based on go per cent of the
posted price Of crude is 91h cents
barrel.
THE $1.52h base price is the av-
erage price which refiners have fig
ured crude would cost them under the
schedule which operators Of large
plants have put into effect. This
price is the average Of a range from
$40 to s. including all of the inter
vening grades.
Contracts for several million bar
reis of fuel oil were closed in the past
two years on Il percentage basis OF
the price of crude oil. Consequently
the market was thrown into a state
of confusion when the crude purchas-
ing methods were revolutionized last
week. 1t was one of the greatest
u~pheavals the market had ever felt.
Representatives of 90 refining
concerns attended the association

Gladys Belle Quits
Attempt to Recover
String of Casing

After several months spent in at
tempting to pulling a string Of easing
in the Brown well of the Gladys Belle
in the Sweetgrass hills, section 1887
4E, the company mad a crooked hole
and was forced to abandon it, accord
ing to reports received at the Great
Falls offices.
The rig has been skidded over and
a new hole has been spudded in, al
though the weather conditions have
made it impossible to get a report on
the Roadway being made.
The Gladys Belle was pulling a light
string of casing with the purpose OF
running heavier pipe to carry a large
hole to the greatest depth possible,
when the line parted. The company
had brought in hydraulic jacks in the
attempt to recover the casing.

Crown Butte Well
Abandoned Because
of Crook in Hole

After struggling for months, first on
4 fishing job and then with a
crooked hole, the Western Petroleum
Exploration company drilling on the
Crown Butte structure in section &C.
20-3W, has been forced to give up
its well, according to reports from
the field.
The hole developed a crook that
made further drilling impossible and
was lost at A depth Of 1910 feet,
The company had not made hole since
August.
The hole was still in the Colorado
when it was lost and any attempt to
make a test of the structure will mean
deep drilling, it was said.

days market developed decided irregular

appearance, and it continued with the

The independent steels in particular
suffered heavily and losses were general

strength was displayed by the equip

practically every instance by the sub
sequent selling movement.
