Operating Saturday al
kevfana Refinery

The Kevtana Refinery has es-
tablished record for themselves
in the line of building, it being
only twenty days from the time
they started until everything is
ready to go. Saturday the Rein
cry will be in operation and the
public are invited to call and see
the demonstration. In talking
with a Review representative,
Mr.. Olsen stated that this s-was
only small part Of his refinery
that additional equipment would
soon be added and that arrange
ments would soon be made for
the piping of the oil, that de-
mands would be so great that it
would be impossible to haul the
oil in. The Refinery is equipped
with seven large storage tanks.

Waiting on Tanks

The Illinois Pipe Line are con-
structing another 1880 barrel
tank at the tank farm south Of
Sunburst. This will give capac-
ity of about 100000 barrels in
The field. They have been COM
PEELED to shut down, their
present tank capacity is filled,
and until the new is completed
they will be unable to take any
more oil.
The Illinois Pipe Line are pre-
pairing to construct a new and
larger pipe line to the field. The
present pipe line is a three-inch
line, and with the larger pipes
they will be able to take care of
the increasing production Of the
field. Nearly all the prodrcers in
the field are shut down awaiting
the completion of the new stor-
age tank, which is on it's way
to the tank farm.

The phosphoria shalss are dark

The tertiary shale occurs in

phosphoria shales they d. not

Industrial Prosperity Is

Oil Man Says Improvement Easily Appar snt in East;
Agriculture Due to Take Second Place

In the issue Of March 10Th, OF
The Great Falls Tribune. Senator
7. S. Hogan of Billings, who is
largely interested in oil in this
field, outlines the industrial and
oil situation of Montana. The
article as given by the Tribune
follows:
That the prosperity that 8

which is apparent to the most
casual visitor in the east is es-
sentially an industrial prosperity

of Billings, who was in Great
Falls Thursday on h is return

D. c..
Increase wages in industry will
mean the draining of the farms,
and will reduce the farming pro-
ducts of the country to the basis
of consumption Of the industry
of the United States. Today, the
country is independent of foreign
trade. industrially, he said. The
demand in iron and steel, for in

trade to meet the supply, with
put regard to the foreign demand.

business, except farming, with
out it.
THE farm situation is the one
distressing thing in the whole
outlook. In nv opinion, there is
just one wav to bring prosperity
there, and that is a drastic rem.
edy. Namely, let 25 per cent OF
the farmers quit farming and
take up industrial pursuits. This
year will see slightly better
prices for farm stuffs, but it will
also see the most expensive farm
operations since the peak of war
prices.
LET us take, for instance, to
show the influence of the farm,
the new plant Ford is placing in
ST. Paul. That means about 5000
men at about Sc day. How
many young men are going to
stay on the farm and milk COWS?
You'll find them going to st.
Paul.
Fortunately for America, the
average wage of labor is going
to be about $6 a day. Iron, steel,
copper, all kinds of farm mach
inery, and so on, are going to,
make an average advance of Is
to 25 per cent.
Let us recognize the insur-
mountable fact that we are adj
gancing by great strides as an
Industrial nation and retrograd-
ng as an agricultural one.
IF Europe-ever does recover

over .thirty-six producing wells,
forty drilling and over seventy
locations. This is only q beginn-
ing as to the drilling campaign,
Before the year 1928 has ended
it is expected that over a thou

Oil operators from all over the
world are fast realizing the
value of oil in the Kevin field.

is also furnishing labor for thou
sands of people who are f1ocking
into this place that they, too,
might share in some of the

At a recent banquet held in
Great Falls, it was pointed out
who was responsible for this
grand oil field. That man was
Gordon Campbell. That the name
Of Gordon Campbell, because Of
his discovery of oil in Montana,

just stop and think what this

the homes Of thousands of farm
