This scramble of the people Of
other countries for the privilege of
becoming citizens of the United
States lends interest to the record
Of the immigration movement
down to the time in which the war
checked the flow of world popu-
lation to this country, That our
popularity as place of residence
had not at all decreased during the
pre-war years is shown by the fact
that the arrivals of immigrants in
the fiscal year 1914 which imnedi-
ately preceded the war were 1,2l8,-
600 or greater than in any year
with the exception cs 1907 when
the total was 1,285,000 There we're
but five occasions prior to 1914 in
which the total arrivals of immi-
grants crossed the one million
line.
The total number Of immigrants

last hundred years is in round
numbers 100000 or about one
third as many as the present total
population, and the number of
foreign born persons living in the
United States in 1920, the latest
census year, was in round terms
100000. The number arriving
during the war fell far below the
pre-war average, ranging fror
325,000 in 1915 to 10000 in 1918
but rapidly advancing to 100000 in
1920 and 805,000 in the fiscal yaar
1921 when the Act Of Nay 10

the number which might Be ad-

Recent estimates show that the
population of the United States,
which is now 100000, exceeds
that oE all other countries except
Russia, India and China. This
condition is apparently not mini
.nizing our attractiveness to those
o; other countries who are seek
ing new homes. More than three
fourths of the countries from
which immigrants are entering the
United States have already reached
their full limit of the number they
tuay send in the fiscal year ending
with the month of June.
The Trade Record of The Ma
tional City Bank of New York es-
Inmates that the Spring inflow from
the few countries which have not
already flied their quota will
bring the arrivals of the fiscal year

$4,000 permitted under the law of
May 10, 1921, which limited the
number wbich may be admitted to

resident in the United States in
1910,
The principal countries which
have not completely filled their
quota in the first 7 months of the
fiscal year 1928 were Germany,
Great Britain, Russia. Sweden,
France and Austria. AS all these
countries except Germany had sent

possible production. 1t is under
stood, for instance, that the Mid
Northern wells are placed on {
! production basis of l 200 barrels
a day. Of this, about 900 barrels
is pro-rated to the Howling lease
the pro-rata having been effect
ed after the coming in Of the
Howling No. 3, the largest in the
field.
The Kevin field, with 80 pro-
ducing oil wells, ranging from
10 barrels to 1000 day, now
has possible production of al
most 10000 barrels a day. The
Ohio is understood to be now
purchasing less than a~third of
this on the basis of pro-rating.
Other compilations for the field
shows: 12' producing gas wells,
two commercial water wells, 25
dry holes, and over 40 drilling
operations.
The average production per
we'll is in the neighborhood of 80
barrels day, not counting pro-
ducing gas wells.
Pro-rating t h Mid-continent
fields has resulted in substan-
tial decrease in production that
is expected to speed the stabiliz-
ing of the market.
Of the results of the work, the
Wall Street Journal says:
"The Prairie Oil & Gas COM
pany, largest purchasers Of mid
continent crude oil, announces
that it will curtail its purchases
Of oil by pro-rating runs from
wells in all fields Of Oklahoma,
Kansas and north Texas where
it is a buyer.
What percentage runs will be
decreased cannot yet be deter
mined, but general curtailment
is planned to bring purchasers
nearer in line with daily sales of
crude, which m ay require as
much as a so per cent pro-rating."

Volume in May Report

Washington, July 1.-The av-

oil was increased during May in
all states except Montana, Ken

States geological survey announc-
es. The average daily produc-
ton in Montana dropped from
ZOO barrels to 6,645, but in
creased nearly 10000 barre 8
throughout the country. The ma
tional production for May aver
aged l,998,774 barrels.
During May, Montana produc-
ed 100000 barrels of crude oil,
compared with 231, 900 barrels in
April. The total production for
1923 shows decided increase
oyer 1923, however, 1,O79, 1000
barrels having been produced
from January to June, while only
722,0OO barrels were produced in
Montana during the same period
last year.
The stock of crude petroleum
on hand in the Rocky mountain
fields is 100000 barrels, an in
crease of 100000 barrels over
the same month, last year. On
April 30, there were 6,373. 900

Campbell Will
Build Refinery
Plant at Once

Shelby July 2.-After an in.
formal conference between Cor
don Campbell and the officers OF
the chamber of commerce here
Monday. Gordon Campbell an
nounced that the oil refinery or
iginally planned for Seattle
would soon be built in Shelby.
The chamber Of commerce will
donate 40 acres of ground, ad-
joiuing the city, and there are
four or five sites from which to
select the place where the refn-
cry will be built.
The plant will be constructed
by the Campbell Oil campany of
Delaware, and the first unit of a
10000 barrel per day refinery
will be under construction the
first Of next week. The plant
when finished will have 5000
barrel day capacity. The COM
pany is capitalized at $4,000, 900
of which 3,000,O0O is preferred
stock.
There will be $4,000 barrels of
tankage for crude oil in the tank
farm and all development work
now being done by the Gordon
Campbell-Kevin Syndicates No.
1 and No. 2 will be taken over
by the new company. The COM
pany will have $4,000 acres in
the field including 1000 acres in
35-2, the heart Of production.
A pipe line from the field to
Shelby will also be constructed
at once. Mr.. Campbell is presi-
dent Of the new company and
the names of the other officials
and directors will be given out
Friday night when a general
meeting and dinner will be held
here by the chamber of COM
merce. Full details and the selec-
ton Of the site will be matters
which will come before the meet
ing, also a general explanation

Idaho Company
Will Try Shot
In Baker Well

Officials Of the Kelvin Roberts
company of Charleston, Washing
ton Lewiston, Idaho have an
nounced their intention of taking
over the Joe Baker-Rist well, in
nwf nw4 section 30-35-2 W, which
recently came in a water we'll in
the Ellis sand.
This we'll while being drilled
gave promise of being one of the
best in the field. In the Colorado
sand flow of green oil, Of high
gravity, was struck. A similar
condition is found in the Sun
burst-Suhr we'll, in ne4 Sw4 Sec
tion 10-34-2 W. This well, drilled
in the early history of the field,
had very promising show in
the Colorado sand but was not
shot.
Announcement that the Baker
we'll will be shot in the Colorado
sand may mean a similar effort
at the Sunburst-Suhr well, if the
Baker shot proves a success.
The Kevin-Roberts company
is now drilling in section 20-35-2
W, and has commenced,operations
in section 1852 W. where it has
l60 acres leased, and in section
it has 80 acres leased.

Production in the Kevin field
is being pro-rated by the Ohio
Oil company, purchaser of the
oil in the field.
Placing Of production on cur
tailed basis is due, it is under
stood, to the lack Of market for
the oil, shipments to Calgary and
to the Honestake and Sunburst
refineries in Great Falls provid-
ing the only outlet for produc-
tion. This action was preferable
to the intermittent closing of the
pipe line and opening it for short
intervals, oil men believe.
Pro-rating the production is on
purchases only, the pipe line TAX
ing oil above that amount where
storage is available by the pro-
ducer. This is a case that affects
the Mutual Oil company and its
operations only. The Mutual is
completing a $4,000 barrel tank
near Sunburst.
While the basis of pro-rating
has not been received in Great
Falls, comparison Of the produc-
ton on leases and the amount of
oil taken shows that it is con-
siderably less than SO per cent of
