Architecture Unusual

The architectural handling of
the exterior is unusual but dis
tinctly pleasing. The brick work
from the ground level to the top
of the basement is in dark browns
and reds; the body of the building
is in tans and bluffs, and a parapet
at the top is cream color. Green
tile roofs on the entrances and ex-
tending over the windows, and a
green composition roof over the
central portion give a pleasing
color scheme. The result is to pre-
vent a look of squattiness or a
factory-like appearance, notwith-
standing the great size of the
building without much elevation.
The contract price of the build
ing is $147,959.46, exclusive of the
ground. The school ground covers
ten acres. four of which. to the
north of the building. is woodland.
Harry F. Vahle, of New Palestine,
is the general contractor. The CON
tractors for plumbing, and heat
ing and ventilating are Freyn
Bros. Indianapolis; for electrical
work, Sanborn Electrical Com
pany, Indianapolis.
The general plan Of the building
was made by Edward J. Hecker.
The architects are Harrison &
Turnock, Indianapolis.

Stairways Are Outside

The stairways leading to the
main floor level are outside the
building and are all enclosed. The
only sta1rways in the building lead
to the auditorium floor. and thence
to the basement. The basement
extends all the way around the
building under the schoolrooms.
The central portion. under the
auditorium, is unexcavated. In
the basement are toilets, locker
rooms with showers, domestic
science and manual training
rooms. laboratories and lunchroom.
On the main floor. in addition 10

estimated one thousand spectators

the building is the number Of en-

rooms, and an entrance at either
end. Short Railways lead from

SEAL OF APPROVAL ON
THE NORTH.
Life Is a Long One; is Bonanza Ter

Kevin-Sunburst is the wonder
field of the oil world, and has only
been touched ON the surface, while
below in the Devonian lies lakes
of oil which is being forced up to
the Sunburst sand, is the statement
of Professor Friedrich w. Sardeson,
one of the best known geologists of
the country, who has been visitor
in Great Falls for several days re-
turning from the north field.
"The theory advanced by certain
prominent biologists that the Kelvin.

able" said Professor Sardeson, land
there is nothing to sustain such the
DRY. This field is made up of hun
dreds of cone domes' of varying size
and proportions. Therefore the
fault theory is an exploded one, not
only from the present performance
of the field, but from logs of wells,
surface indications, glacial drift, etc.
The so-called Gordon Campbell the
DRY is relatively the correct theory.
We will see dry holes continue to be
drilled, but their proportion will be
insignificant as compared with the
producers. With the ability to drill
to shallow depths such as 1,400 to l.
500 feet, at cost as low in range as
$1,000 to $4,000, proves conclusive
ly that even small wells of 10 barrel
capacity will pay out and prove of a
most profitable investment.
'When the Kevin-Sunburst field
covering a half dozen townships, is
compared with the Texas oil fields
of 5000 acres, one can wonder in
at the worlds wonder

small driller, it is too large to be
controlled by the so-called larger
companies. It's resources in oil re-

long one, certainly SO years, for full
recovery. The field is not mys-
terry to the trained expert. The gas
and water pressure are terrific. The
oil is being forced from lower depths
(Devonian) to the present shallo"
depths.
'sWells should be drilled to the
shallow levels to permit further drill
ing to lower depths later. Large
and high pressure wells Will be
brought in from the lower depths and
in abundance. The so-called sulphur
water theory is likewise an old ex-
ploded one We often find fresn
water under the sulphur water, and
then oil at further depths. This
field will again prove out this theory
at is an economical waste to
freight Salt Creek oil through Mon
tana, through the Kevin-Sunburst
field to Canada. This Will be cor
rected when the interests are ready
for it, but not sooner Montana is
full of oil domes. Other and great
fields will be opened up north OF
Great Falls. The stage is set for
long and aggressive drilling cam

Charles A. Rasmussen, of Helena,
collector of internal revenue, who
before his appointment, was news
paper man at Glendive, leaves Mon
day, April z, for Washington, ON
official business to take up a NUM-
Der of very important departmental
matters with the bureau of intern
al revenue.
Mr.. Rasmussen was sworn in as
collector on January 16, 1922, and
has therefore been in office some
thing over two years. During his
administration he has built up very
effective machine for the gathering
of Uncle Sans shekels in Montana.

as to the per cent of oil left in a
field after the wells have become SO
small that it is no longer practical to
produce them. Engineers have given
the matter much study and can sub
stantiate their figures by data taken
from fields from the Appalachians to
California. The average oil sand has
porosity of about 20 per cent which
proximately $500 bbls. The sand
thickness in Oklahoma pools averages
20 feet. With 20 per cent porosity
and a 2O-foot sand thickness, the
capacity per acre is 10000 bbls., yet
these pools will seldom yield more
than 5000 bbls. to the acre.
"These figures support the theory
that at least so per cent of the oil
remains in a sand after all known
methods to recover it have been used.
However, with improved methods of
production and conservation of the
natural agencies of expulsion, we
should be able to increase recovery.
Except in fields where production
is caused by hydrostatic pressure,
the chief agency for getting oil out
of the sand into the hole is the gas
that occurs with the oil. After the
pressure has declined, probably gray
ity also is a factor, but not an i'm
portant one. With a given amount of
oil in sand and a given amount of
gas occurring with the oil, the ratio
of gas volume per barrel of oil is
the key to the ultimate recovery
from that sand"
The fact that the chief agency
for getting the oil out of the sand
is the gas that occurs with it and
in that sand, should make all OPP
orators try to conserve this gas to
the very best of their ability, COM
ments Platt, instead of allowing
their wells to stand uncapped for
months at time, and thereby al
lowing the needed pressure for flu
ture production to be wasted"
Continuing, he says: Another in
teresting fact contained in the above
figures is that of the production of
the Ohio-Baker No. 8, some $4,000
barrels, from sand known to be
not over 10 feet in thickness. If
a 20-foot sand with 20 per cent por-
osity contains 10000 barrels per acre
and the best yield to date from sand
of this nature is one-SiXth of this
or 5000 barrels, Baker No. would
have drained its allotted five acres
when it had produced 1880 bar
rels, still it has produced nearly 15
times that amount of oil and with no
noticeable effect on the other Baker
wells or wells offsetting it. The only
that can be drawn from
this is that the oil is not all coming
from the sand, and there is some
other reservoir from which it has
been and is now draining. That this
lies below the present
known sands is the only conclusion
hat can be arrived at, and that the
oil is migrating from this deeper sand

ions. The deep test which is now

each month, discloscs the fact that
for the fiscal year ending June 30
1928, the Montana. district under the
supervision of Collector Rasmussen
stood eighth in the point of efficiency
out of IS collection districts in the
United States. That the good work
is being kept up is demonstrated by
the further fact that for the month
of February, 1924, the Montana dis
trict ranked fifth in efficiency in the
same number of collection districts.
This rating is based on the number
of cases handled per deputy per
month by the field force; but its sue
cess is due also, of course, to the CO.
operation received from the office
force at Helena. The district revenue
office at Helena during the past two
or three years has been responsible
for the collection of approximately
$3,500,000 annually. In normal bust
ness years, there would be collected
in Montana in federal taxes, between
five and six million dollars. In war
times, the Helena office collected as
high as $15.000,000.
Total revenue collections in Mon
tana for the period from July 1, 1928,
and up to March 81, 1924, were ST.
352,390.32-a decrease of 04,204.-
70 from the corresponding period of
the previous year. The collector,
however, believes that by the end of
this current fiscal year, the receipts
will equal or exceed those of the pre-
vious year.
The general policy of the present
collector is that of "humanizing" the
work of the department; and to see
that both the government and the
federal taxpayer get square deal,
no more and no less.
