Gas is taking the place OF Goa
these days at the Spoknae Bak-

gas is now under way, according
to the report of D. Ackermann,

Gas makes it easier to control
the heat, bakers declare.
The bakery now has an output
of $4,000 loaves daily and the big
oven that is being converted into
a gas burner has capacity OF
5000 loayes per hour. The plants

is the intention Of the Standard
Refining company draw at
least part of its crude oil from

Montana oil field. Dan Lucy and
Sam Baldwin, the heaviest stock
holders in the local refinery, are
also stockholders IN the new pro-
ducer. which will enable them to
take care 0 f their production
very nicely. They state that the
well has 700 foot Of oil stand
ing in the casing. Samples of the
oil have reached the city snd the
quality appears to be on par
with any found in the Kevin field.
Good headway is being made on
the refinery, the expectation be-
ing that the first oil will be turn

have been shutdown for the win

the spring whether the we'll will
be put down farther. Mr.. King
stated that their company were
negotiating for a piece Of pro-
perty carrying t Wo producing

TWENTY THOUSAND
TO BE PAID IN TAX

Helena, Oct. %. Quarterly re-
ports of oil companies and pipe
line companies made to the state
board of equalization show that
| for t h three months ending
September 80 there was produc-
ed in Fergus county in the Cat
Creek field, 1872, 106 barrels of oil,
and in Toole county, in the Kew
| i n field, 262, ,281 barrels. The
board calculates the Cat Creek
production to be worth 1886, $50
and that in the Kevin field S183,-
597. The prevailing prices in the
Cat Creek field for crude was
$1.70 a barrel and S1.35, and in
the Kevin field 70 cents.
The board figures that this
production should net in taxes
$20,403, figured as it is on the
basis of two cents a gallon.
AS of September 80, the figures
available to the board showed
213 wells in the Cat Creek field,
which has been producing about
three years, and l27 wells in the
Kevin field. The production fig
ures show that the average well
in the older field has considera-
BILE larger flow than the average
we'll in the newer field where the
average production is about SO
barrels each well.
In addition to the producers
tax there is retailers gasoline
tax Of two cenLs a gallon on oil
which is not produced and refin-
ed in Montana.

LOCAL OIL MEN HAVE
EXPERIENCE IN FLOOD

The following rehearsal of part
of the adventures Of Art Sellery and
Carl Swartz in their recent trip to
Craig, Colorado, and return, ap-
peared in the current issue Of the
Tulsa Oil & Gas Journal, and came
to the attention of the Promoter
scribe, while looking over the news
of the Montana and Wyoming field
operations this morning.
"Following the floods roads are
impossible over much of thisregion
and field work shut down. One of
the first scout cars to come in was
that of the Ohio Oil company, driv-
en- by Art Sellery and carrying Carl
Swartz, scout for the Ohio in the
Kevin field of Montana. 'The drive
from Montana to Craig, Colorado,
was made without mishap," and
they stayed there during the flood.
Two days ago they left Craig for
casper across a nOuuIdIuOuS COuil-
try and completed the trip through
unheard of difficulties. At times
the wheels of their car were down
in the gumbo soil below the hub caps
so it was impossible to see anything
of the wheels except moving seq
ment of mud on top of the ground.
Coming across the Alcova plateau,
the scouts took to the open plains
rather than try to follow the washed
out roads and wandered for many
miles throug the sage brush. Com
ing down Alcova mountain the road
is washed so they coasted down the
mountain side with wheels locked.
They will leave Casper today Tor
Montana altho reports indicate all
roads leading north are impossible.
The distance from Craig to Casper
is about $50 miles.

keviiIl Will Burn
Gas Next w eek

That Kevin will burn gas this winter, is
now an assured fact and Frank Nicholson,
manager of the New Era Oil & Gas, inform
ed us this morning that barring all accidents
that the gas would be turned on not later than
by the last of this week.
Practically every house in town is pre-
pairing to use the gas for both heating and
lighting purposes, and already the bitches are
dug and L. r. Pyke is busy making connec-
tiOns to stoves and ranges.
The rates that are set flat rates until
meters can be secured will be as follows:
For cooking stove, the rate is fixed at
$500 per month, for residence heater the rate
is Sc 90 per month. Where there is no heater
used and cook stove is used for purpose OF
heating the rate will be $3.50. Business hous-
es are rated at $1,000 per month each. Two
lights will be LOO per month each, three lights
$3.50. A charge of 25c for each addition
al light will be made.
The people of Kevin very fortu-
nate indeed to be able to use gas this winter,
and this firm are to be commended for their
efforts in placing this needed fuel at our door.
1t may seem to many that the rates that are be-
ing charged are too high, but just stop and
think that it will not be as near expensive as
burning coal, and you also do away with all
the necessary work of eeping up your fire.

In February, 1919, a party of

Some of the difficulties and OBJ

| Oil company California; today
is drilling wildcat wells in the
Philippines, Alaska, Ecuador,
| Colombia, Argentine, Montana,

TO reports issued by the COM
pany's officials. The company is
spending millions upon millions
of dollars on these wildcat wells,
and it's oil-searching crews are
suffering hardships said to be
equal any pioneering efforts in
history of modern business.
Since the early part of 1921,
almost three years ago, 81 Stan
dard Oil men have been drilling
for oil at Bondoc Peninsula, on
the island of Luzon, in the Philip
pines group. For nearly three
years these 21 men have been
drilling necessarily without pro-
ducing a drop of oil, but the oper-
ations will be continued as in
surance against t h e future,
against the day when the supply
of old line fields play out.
The pioneer oil drilling work
in the Philippines h been
fought with heart breaking hard
ships, involving the building of
roads, virgin roads thru dense
tropical jungles, the hauling of
foodstuffs from the mouth of the
Pagsanghan river to the STAN
J dard Oil camp by carabaos (water
buffalo, and the drilling Of wells
in caving formations which fore
ed the abandonment of the first
we'll after nearly a years con-
tinuous work.
Road building in tropics, where
there is an annual rainfall Of 80
inches to control, offered play for
engineering ingenuity and per-
sistence, the Standard Oil engi-
neers in the Philippians report.
The men were compelled to cut
down trees pull up tree stumps,
bridge rivers, only to find their
road a quagmire after the first
heavy rainfall. In between times,
the crews were compelled to po-
lice the native carabao, deer,
wild pif, and the rowing band of
monkeys which infested the vir-
gin forest thru which the road
was being constructed.
