Refinery Puts Pipe
Charges Before State
international Submits Com
pluint Against Illinois to
Commission.

Helena, Sept. 20. = Complaint
has been made by the Interna-
tional Refining company Of Sun
burst, to the state railroad, com
mission against practices of the
Illinois Pipe Line company with
the request that the commission
interpret certain transportation
rules of the commission having a
bearing thereon.
One of the principal objections
of the international is to a de-
murrage charge demanded by
the pipe line company Of one-half
of one cent barrel for the first
10 days on oil storage which has
been rendered for delivery and
which remains undelivered.
The international sets out that
the Illinois gave notice of the i'm
position of this demurrage charge
on September II whereupon the
international notified the Illinois
to deliver it's oil at the rate of
5000 barrels day, and that had
delivery been made at this rate
all the international oil in stor-
age would have been delivered
within 10 days, but that the Him
ois failed to deliver at that rate
and the daily deliveries from
Sept. 13 to Sept. 26, inclusive,
ranged from 2,138.43 down to
318.48 barrels.
Further complaint is made that
on September 26 the field mana
ger received orders from Casper,
Wyo., to refuse to deliver oil to
the international until transpor-
tation charges had been paid in
advance, it being set out that the
International has always paid
for transportation as soon as de-
liveries could be measured. The
letter adds:
1t appears to the refining
company that such regulations
from the Casper Office are mere
ly for the purpose Of vexation,
and the company desires an in
terpretanion Of transportation
rules"

Well Befters FIELD
Says G. Campbell
ri Gravity Crude In New Well
Marks Another Producinq
Horizon at Kelvin.

In last weeks issue of the Re-
view we stated that the AIexan-
der, Campbell well, Sc NV 1885
3 west, found production in the
Sunburst sand. This was a mis-
take, for we were informed by
Mr.. Campbell on Saturday morn
ing that this we'll hit production
in stray sand 40 feet above the
Ellis which he had predicted that
oil would be found. Following
we reprint a clipping from the
Great Falls Tribune of Wednes-
day submitted by Mr.. Campbell,
practically the same as he hand
ed it to the Review. The article
follows:
THE finding of stray sand
40 feet above the Ellis into which
Mel Alexander drilled a producer
several days ago is termed one Of
the most important developments
of the Kevin field in months by
Gordon Campbell, who arrived in
Great Falls Tuesday night from
Kevin. The we'll is isolated from
all others and is about three miles
east of the Campbell discovery.
Campbell has classified the
new strata as the Kevin-Camp-
bell sand and says that it is
about 20 feet thick. Much trouble
was encountered with cave-ins
soon after the producing sand
was struck. but this was remed-
led late Tuesday and 1900 feet
of oil then stood in the casing.
''The new we'll is located in
section 1858 W, is estimated at
100 barrels by Campbell, but AL
exander, the driller, says that it
will run closer to the 200 mark.
1t is known as the Campbell-Al-
exander and is on the Kevin-Syn-
dicate acreage.
Campbell calls it an important
discovery because of the new
producing horizon in which it
was found and also because it
tested Al gravity. 1t is of a very
green color and contains no sui
phur."

what the Anaconda company is
the biggest institution in h e

The Review is glad to see Mr..

we know that he is a hustler and
that he will work for the good of
the town, which is absolutely
just, because he realizes that
Kevin is the center Of the oil

leading city. Again we say we
welcome him and our columns
are open for all the good that
may be done in boosting any bus

Sheriff Benjamin
Is Again In Race
Announces His Name Will Be
On Fdrmer-Lobor Ticket at
General Election.

Sheriff Harry E. Benjamin was
in Kevin yesterday looking after
business matters, and while here
he dropped around to the Review
office to inform us that he would
be a candidate at the coming
election for reelection to the
Office which he is now holding.
Mr.. Benjamin's name will be
found on the Farmer-Labor tick
ct. 1t has taken Harry considera-
BILE time to make up his mind
that he would come out indepen-
dent, but after studying the mat
ter over thoroughly and talking
with friends and old warehouses,
they have induced him to enter
the contest.
Mr.. Benjamin thinks that he
has at least an even chance to
break even, and feels that he has
served the taxpayers Of Toole
county to the best advantage
that person holding this office
could do.
This makes three candidates
seeking the office of Sheriff, @.
D. Clark of Sweet Grass is the
choice on the Democratic ticket,
while Tom Daily Of Shelby re-
ceived the nomination on the Re-
publican ticket, and with Mr..
Benjamin's name placed on the
Farmer-Labor ticket, we feel
that there will be some excite
ment at the coming election.
The Review is silent. as fas~aasI
the candidates seeking t h is
position, they are all good square
men, and we would like to see
Toole county have three sheriffs,
"but it can't be did," neverthe
less, we know that the best man
will win, and personally we feel
that Mr.. Benjamin should have
another show, for the term of
two years in an office does not
give man an even break. for !
practically all the salary he de-
rives is spent in equiping him
self with the necessaries to car
ry on his campaign.
