bit as good as Salt Creek crude
This talk about poor grade crude
and sulphur in it is all bunk. If
there wasn't any sulphur there
wouldn't be any crude. It's moth
ing to handle that. Ask any re-
fnery man who knows his busi-
ness! Propaganda, every bit of
it! Ask the Great Northern if
this doesn't make the best fuel
oil obtainabld! And this is one of
the very few crudes which will
refine a straight run gasoline, SO
highly priced by motorists. Our
crude is Of an exceptionally good
quality for the greatest demands
of our markets.
IF congress wants to investi-
gate the oil business, why don't
they investigate the way the big
companies have treated this field?
Aan with refneries close at hand
and market able to absorb. and
daily using far more than this
field can produce for sometime.
Why don't thay investigate how
the big companies are paying out
in freight alone, twice the amount
they set as the value of our crude
oil, to bring other crude from
hundreds of miles away, taking
it right through this field and to
what should be our market?

Shelby, March Is. "Kevir
crude will bring $500 per barre
within the next so days"
This optimistic statement was
made in Shelby today by Gordon
Campbell, whose discovery well
in March two years ago, thrilled
the people of the state and start
ed a rush for northern Montana.
When asked what this oil is
worth now, compared with oils
from other fields, where t h e
prices have advanced several
times since the first Of the year,
Mr.. Campbell replied:
What's it worth? Don't ask
me what it's worthl That has
nothing to do with the present
price. 1t is big company control
that has set the price in this field,
and it is big company control
that has this field locked up, un-
til it gets ready to open it up.
Don't ask me what it's worth,

Calgary and Regina, to be refin-

Death Calls Mrs.
Cliff Stewart

Mrs. Cliff Stewart died very
suddenly on Monday, morning
at about 5 o'clock at her home on
the Shoshone lease. The deceased
came to Kevin with her husband,
Cliff Stewart, almost one year
ago where Mr.. Stewart has
charge Of the production Of the
ShoshOne wells.
Mrs. Stewart was born in Bal
timore, Maryland, September 20,
1882. She was graduate of the
Baltimore schools and then took
a course in nurseing at the John
Hopkins hospital, after which
she followed that profession till
coming to Canada in 1917. On
June 16, 1918, she married Cliff
Stewart of Youngstown, Alber-
ia, and resided there until the
spring of 1928 when they moved
to Kevin.
Mrs. Stewart leaves no family
except a bereaved husband and
one sister. The funeral was held
in Shelby yesterday.
The Review joins with the en-
tire community in extending
sympathy for those who are left
to mourn her timely death.

One of the largest crowds that

and nothing was left undone to
show those attending real time.
The music was furnished by
three piece orchestra which was
up-to-date in every way. The
ladies' of the Club served a very
delicious lunch at midnight. The
proceeds of this dance swelled
the treasury department of the
clubs something over a hundred
smackers. the ladies clearing a.

grades, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
and it may be expected that Cali
fornia and other districts will be
raised shortly.
THE highest gravity in the
mid-continent field has advanced
from $1.25 to 1925 barrel since
January 9, last, about go days.
The top price for this grade last
year was $3.50 barrel. This in
crease is a measure of the rap
idity of decline in flush produc-
ing districts, particularly in Cali
fornia.
"Contrasted w it h January,
1923, when the available daily
supply was 100000 barrels, pro-
duction and imports in January,
1924, were but 10000 barrels
day higher, or about 6 per cent.
This gain in available supply
over January, 1928, is relatively
small when taken in connection
with current refinery runs of
about 150,00 barrels daily more
than early in 1923.
While refineries have substan-
tial stocks of refined oils on hand,
the practice of large refinery
runs, in preparation for the big
summer demand for gasoline, is
not likely to be changed this sea-
son. Refineries are operated in
close harmony with demand, as
is indicated by the fact that even
on record operations in 1923 all
but 2 per cent of the gasoline
and | 1-2 per cent of the fuel oil
produced was consumed.

A comparison by the Wal
Street Journal of the crude oil
supply available in January, with
that of the previous October
shows drop of 100000 barrels
a day, the slump bringing the
daily production in January to
$4,000 barrels below consumption
as against 100000 barrels daily
surplus in October. Peak domes-
tic production, over q months S
period, came last October, with
an average of 100000 barrels a
day made the available daily sup
ply 1851 900 barrels.
"The picture in crude oil supply
has changed with remarkable
quickness," says the journal,
"hastened. of course, by the fact
that nearly SO per cent of our
production, as recently as mid
November, was coming from
four pools, Long Beach, Santa Fe

The high of this great struc
ture is reconized as being located
at or about the Troy Sweetgrass
well in sec 21-34-1 W.. Such being
the case, how to account for the
large gas flows encountered in
seemingly lower part of the field
in different sands.
1t would appear that these
sands lay as though in seperate
structures, thus making three OF
more highs over the field.
The Troy-Sweetgrass might be
called the high of the Ellis, the
Berg gasser might be called the
high of the Sunburst, the Cali
fornia Abel gasser might b e
another high on the same sand.
But one important point has been
overlc oked, namely the 100 foot
gas sand encountered in the
Colorado during the drilling of
the Campbell discovery in 1886
3 w. Might it not be claimed
that the Campbell we'll is on the
high of the Colorado.
This field h as shown that
whenever gas has been encoun
tered, somewhere else in the
structure oil has been found in
the same sand.
This Colorado sand thins out to
The east where a couple of wells
nave encountered oil showings. |
No doubt it still thickens to the
vest and as no commercial oil
has been found in this sand north, |
EAST or south, must 1T be aSSum-
ID that this sand is different from |
he others. Such an assumption
would not be logical, therefore
t would appear that a test
traight west from Kevin would |
n all probability encounter COM
nercial oil in the Colorado, and
onsidering the thickness Of this
and as shown by the Campbell
iscovery, it should be nothing
mall.
Ridiculous, sure, but so where
ther theorys thought before be-
lg tested, Time will prove it out.
