900, and will be financed by Van
couver and Lethbridge people.
Il think we will get started with
in 80 days, but you are safe in
using that time" said Mr.. Will
hanson.
The plant will cost between
$75, 900 and 100000. A holding
company known as the United
States Petroleum company has
been Incorporated in the state of
Montana and this company will
take care of crude for the Leth-
bridge plant. Fuel costs for
farm tractors and other gas
driven engines NAV be cut two
thirds by the use of crude oil
from the border field and this
cheap fuel will now be made a.
valuable to Alberta farmers.
The Baalin Motor company
having undertaken the distribu-
ton of t h e crude throughout
western Canada. the first car of
North Montana crude will reach
the city Saturday, A. A. Baalim
announced Wednesday. The car
is now being loaded at Coutts.
This crude is being brought from
the Hogan well, and is of excell-
ent quality as fuel for oil burn
ing tractors. Tests have been
made by tractor owners in the
Lethbridge districts and they
have proved satisfactory. The
crude will be distributed from
Lethbridge, Calgary, and Regina,
and the oil will be retailed at Is
cents a gallon.

the Yakima men be right when they
prophesy that White Bluffs i'll 10

easy and so rapid, and the possibili-

diction, but it hopes the Yakima
men prove good prophets. And it
will work TO that end.
