each month, discloses 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
S3,500,000 annually. In normal bust
ness years, there would be collected
in Montana in federal taxes, between
five and six million dollars. In wal
times, the Helena office collected as
high as s15.OO0,000.
Total revenue collections in Mon
tana for the period from July 1, 1928,
and up to March 81, 1924, we're ST.
352,39O.32-a decrease of s104,2O4.-
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-
YioUs 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 a square deal,
no more and no less.

Kevin-Sunburst is the wonder

below in the Devonian lies lakes

of Professor Friedrich w. Sardeson,
one of the best known biologists of

in Great Falls for several days re-
turning from the north field.
''The theory advanced by certain

drilled, but their proportion will be
insignificant as compared with the

to shallow depths such as 1,4OO to L.
500 feet, at a 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

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
a porosity of about 20 per cent which
gives a capacity per acre-foot of ap-
proximately 1900 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 cen 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 grav-
ity also is a factor, but not an i'm
~portant one With a given amount of
oil in a 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 occur 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 a 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 a sand known to be
not over 10 feet in thickness. If
20-foot sand with 20 per cent por-
osity contains 10000 barrels per acre
and the best yield to date from a sand
of this nature is one-sixth of this
or 5000 barrels, Baker No. 8 would
have drained its allotted five acres
when it had produced 1850 bar
rels, still it has produced nearly Is
times that amount of oil and with no
noticeable effect on the other Baker
wells or wells ~offsetting it. The only
conclusion 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
reservoir lies below the present
sands is the only conclusion
that can be arrived at, and that the
is migrating from this deeper sand
to the present sands through cracks
and assures in the underlying forma-
lions. The deep test which is now
being started will be very interesting
to watch"

VETERAN, WINNER
 D. C. M., KILLS SELF

 German During War

LONDON, Feb. 25.-The great war still continues to take heavy toll in the lives of men who served their coun. try. Week after week cases of self. destruction are reported, the victim be- ing war veteran whose nervous sys. tenn had been wrecked by his terrible experience.
 The most recent case to come under notice was that of a stock jobber named Francis Christey, aged A, who shot himself at city railroad station Blood-stained letters were produce at the coroner's inquest but were not read because of the painful nature of the evidence. Christey's brother testified that the suicide had no financial wor. ries, but was suffering from the effects of being ''gassed."
 He won the D. C.. NJ. at Loos and the war has killed him as certain as if he had been shot out there" added his brother.
 An incident was the fact that the revolver used"by the deceased was one he took from a German during the war.

TWO SUGGESTED
 AS SUCCESSORS
 TO OSECY. DENBY
President Is Considering Gov. Dixon, Montana,
 And Jas. E. Davidson

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Initial consideration given by President Cool idge to selection of successor to Ed win Denby as Secretary of the Navy has revolved about Joseph NJ. Dixon, governor of Montana, and James E, Davidson, republican, natienaf1 eommit- teeman from Michigan. Inasmuch as Mir. Denby's retirement from the cabinet does not become effective until March 10, and because of more immediate pressing questions, the President has deferred action. A number of telegrams indorsing Dixon were acknowledged.
 Mir. Dixon's name has been put for ward by several advisors who have pointed to his qualifications and also to the fact that he comes from the far west, section from which it has been generally believed President Coolidge would turn in search of a man to fill the vacancy to occur in his cabinet Governor Dixon has been mentioned re- gently as possible republican nomi- nee for Vice President.
 Mir. Davidson is a ship builder and lumberman of Bay City. Mich, and comes from family which has been engaged for years in the shipbuilding business on the Great Lakes. Those indOrsing him, in addition to presenting his qualifications, have expressed the be- lief that inasmuch as the retiring Sec reary came from Michigan, his successor should be chosen from the same state.
