NEW BANKS
ARE ERECTED
IN BERLIN
Germans Agitated Over In
creasing Height of
Buildings

Berlin, April l4-Berlincrs are
hardly less agitatcd about the high
exchange on the dollar and pound
than they are about the increasing
height of buildings on Inter den
Linden.
The buildings which are soaring
upwards are all bank structures.
That makes it even harder for the
German with deprecated marks, for
he feels that the bankers have in
some mysterious way manipulated
exchange to his disadvantage. To
the average Berlin man, the high
Office buildings are monuments to
war protitee:ing. German architects,
especially those who h;S. no com
missions for high buildings, foresce
another Wall Street district alonA
Inter den Linden in the vicinity of
the university, the state opera and
the old palace. They predict that
st. Hedwig's church, just south of
the opera house, will soon be swal-
flowed up as Trinity church is, and
almost completely hemmed in by
Over-s hadowing Office buildings.
Two skyscrapers have already
made their appearance on Inter den
Linden. At least Berlincrs call them
skyscrapers. They would be lost
alongside a New York monster as
they really are only about ten
stories, and their upper floors are
we'll camoflouged under receding tile
roofs, which lessen the discord with
surrounding buildings of only hall
the height.
Building Too High
But BcrIincrs insist the wonderful
skyline of Inter den Linden is al

buildings is near the Brandenburgci
gate. The other is near the opera
house. Inter den Linden, with its

drilled three feet into the sand,
the oil rose l 300 feet in the cas-

Kelvin Field Expansion
Beyond Oil Mems Hopes
Resumption of Drilling in Spring Will Open Many
Huge Tracts; Advance in Crude Expected

tors declare this has no bearing
on the oil situation. The advance,
they stated, was but an adjust
ment of prices between Wyoming
fields and does not reflect any
change in the crude oil market.
The arrival of spring will see
a tremendous increase in activi-
ties in northern Montana. The
state does not realize the impor-
tance O f the Kevin field, but
with the momentum bound to
come with the opening of the
spring season, the field will at
tract more attention than in the
past.
The offsets that will necessari-
ly be drilled next year will alone
be sufficient to make very &C
tive season, but with improve
ment in the market that is bound
to come, there will be large
amount of n e W development.
Just how much new work will be
launched next spring would be
impossible to forecast now, but
there is evidence enough that
the next yea aNill see former de-
velopement activities fully re-
stored and very probably enlarg-
ed upon.

Events in the northern Mon
tana oil fields are rapidly shap-
ing themselves for a period OF
expansion and development OF
greater extent than has been
predicted by the districts most
enthusiastic optimists. Predic-
tion to that effect is being made
every day by oil men who are
thoroughly conversant with the
field and who forsee for the com
ing spring the beginning Of a
development program that will
during the next year advance
northern Montana to a place
among the country's most i'm
portant oil producing areas.
Operations in the Kevin dis
trict show pronounced falling
off, as elsewhere, last summer
and fall as a result of surplus
production in California, but the
time now has arrived when most
oil men agree that the California
peak has been passed and that
the improvement predicted for
the last so days is approaching
the poins of. realization.
The first advance in crude oil
prices has yet to be announced,
but oil mems opinion agree that
higher price can reasonably be
expected by the first of the year
and that by early spring the up

pronounced. An advance of 10
