PRICE OF CRUDE
TO GO UP SOON.
SAYS DUNHAM
Statistician of Note Joins
United Oil & Refining
Company Here.

A strong demand for oil awaits the
entrance of Montana into the field as
n of the large producing states, &C.
cording to Walter NJ. Durham. one
of the well known oil statisticians in
the United States, who is in Great
Falls. After a visit over the northern
fields, Mr.. Durham has joined the
United Oil & Refining company of
Great Falls. He is a contributor of
articles on The oil industry to the Oil
and Gas Journal.
Mr.. Durham came to Montana to
study the fields here and has decided
to remain. In speaking of the future
of Montana for an oil producing state
he points out that this is the psyche
logical time for the industry to deve-
lop on a big scale here.
Price of Crude to Go Up
He is credited with starting the ma
t%ionally organized fight for a high
tariff on European imports of oil and
declared that the price of crude oil
Will increase within a few months be-
cause of the slow but sure decrease
IN production in nearly all of the larg-
er fields of the United States, the
greater demand for the product and
the ability of Europe to buy American
oil and to fill her dry containers.
On June 30 the Oil and Gas Journal
said:
Walter NJ. Durham is probably one
of the best known oil men in the world.
that is. he probably is known person
ally by more persons in different oil
fields of the world than a majority
of other men. He is known as the
walking statistical bureau of the
petroleum industry and one has only
to meet him and listen for a few
minutes as he reels off facts and fig
ures relative to every phase Of the oil
industry since its birth in 1859 to be
absolutely convinced that he certainly
knows what he is talking about"
Has Visited Foreign Fields
Born in Canada, Mr.. Durham was
taken to Oil City, Pa, when he was
about four years of age and since that
he says he is in his sixty sixth
year now, although he appears younger
he says there has only been a period
of about 60 days that he has not
been within sight of an oil derrick.
City, Pa. at that time did not have
a railroad, transportation being by
and river packet. For 80
years Mr.. Durham was a driller and
he has worked in almost every capa-
city III old field work and develop
ment.
Mr.. Durham has visited a majority
of the foreign oil fields. He was one
of the pioneers in the Colombia fields
in South America. investigating that
territory for American companies. He
also investigated the fields of Peru,
Argentine and Brazil. and
altogether. has made six trips through
a month ago.
