fning company's plant at Spo-
kane, Wn., has been taken over
by the w. H. Barber company Of
Minneapolis, one of the leading
Independent refiners and distri-
butors Of the middle west. The
Barber interests operate a refin-
cry at Minneapolis and have been

kane refinery Barber is enabled
TO turn the Kevin oil into the
Spokane refinery an d he has

Giant Locals

The Montana-Giant Petroleum
company's new we'll on the Nc
Gowan lease looks like real pro-
ducers. The estimated prodnc-
tion is 100 barrels per dav. The
we'll was placed on the pump for
a few days. The well was placed
on the pump for a few days and
the results were very satisfact-
ory, SO it has been decided to
produce at the present depth
The Gil is in the Sunburst sand
and runs very high in gravity, as
compared to other wells in the
field, t h e gravity being 36.5
baume and the gasoline content
runs about ten per cent. !
The we'll is not producing at
present as power is being install
ed for pumping the new well, as
will also be used to operate the
No. 1 we'll which is estimated at
approximately 20 barrels per day.
The company is planning on
trucking the oil to their refinery
at Kevin. The Giant refinery at
present is running to capacity.
Mr.. Evans, of the Montana
Giant Petroleum company, OF
Olympia, Wn., is looking after
business matters here this week
in connection with the company.
w. J. Gray, secretary-treasur-
er of the MontanaGiant COM
pany, departed last week for
Olympia, Washington, where he
will take charge of the company s
affairs at that place. Mr.. I. }
Landry, formerly superintendent
of the refinery has been made
manager of the affairs at this
place. Mr.. Gray made many
friends during his residence here
who regret his departure, but
wish him success in his new To-
cation. While Mr.. Gray was re-
spected by all, we feel that in
Mr.. Landry, that things at this
institution will move along as
smoothly as they did under the
guidance of Mr.. Gray.

FIND GAS FLOW IN
DEEPEST OF WELLS
Thirty Months Of Drilling Near
Pittsburgh Sinks Tools
7,428 Feet.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. %. AT
ter drilling for 80 months, engi-
neers in charge of a test we'll at
Long Bridge, near Latropt Pa,
Thursday struck gas at a depth
of 1923, the deepest we'll in the
world. The gas is flowing at the
rate of 100000 cubic feet a day.
The engineers brought in a pro-
ducer in the Oriskan sand at g.
822 feet in the same region sew
eral years ago. At that time the
Oriskan sand was the deepest
ever reached by a drill.
Work on the 7,42S-feet well
was started in 1922.
At 1000 feet the drill struck
an exceptionally hard sand. Later
the gas came in with such a rush
that the drilling cable broke,
dropping the drill to the bottom.
An effort is being made to fish
out the tools.
The total cost of sinking the
we'll was estimated at 100000.

The Cooperative Adams No. l

Buttes, about 10 miles east of
Kevin, struck a strong flow of
soft water at 80 feet during the
week. The flow was cased off
and then drilled down to a like
depth for water to be used IN
drilling. This is said to be the
best water well in the field. The
Adams we'll is making good time
and is now drilling around 600
feet.
Potlatch-Adams No. l ne Sc NV
21-34-1w, is drilling below 4,l75
feet. The soft shale they have
been drilling in for two weeks
continues to hold out, and officials
of the company regard this as an
encouraging sign. i
Activities in the field are in
creasing rather than decreasing
due to the exceptionally fl n e
weather. 1t is understood that
the Ohio and Queen City compa-
nies have plans for the immedi-
ate drilling out of the Norem and
Moore leases, while all the inde-

few weeks in increasing the
capacity of the plant to 1900 bar
rels a day, he states. He is now
handeling 500 barrels of tops ;
from the international refinery
and the production Of the Big
West Oil company wells. The
company is in the market for ad-
ditional production.
The Spokane Refining com
pany leased the plant to the Bar
Der interests under an operating
agreement for a period Of three
years. The refined products will
be marketed through Independ-
ent jobbers and filing stations.
A market for the fuel oil as well
as the gasoline is assured, it is
stated, although use of the tops
will reduce the volume of fuel
oil.

WATCHING TEST
NEAR CHINOOK
Heavy Gasoline Content in Gas
Hit by California on Bowes
Structure.

Chinook, Dec. Developments
on the Bowes structure, seven
miles south of Chinook, have at
tracted attention on the outside
to an extent that is bringing
large numbers of oil men here.
Every day the streets Of Chinook
are lined with automobiles whose
drivers come from various oil
fields to observe what is looked
forward to here as the states
next producing area.
Good roads lead from Chinook
to the structure, making it possi-
BILE for automobiles to make the
trip out and back without incon-
venience. T h e structure en-
braces 1000 acres, Of which GAO
acres is known as the north area
and 800 acres as the south area.
The highest contour is on the
south dome, the top of which is
$3.50 feet, indicating a known
closure of $50 feet. On the north
dome the top contour is 3 ,025 feet
and the lowest closing contour is
1900 feet a closure of 125 feet.
The Kootenai sands are ex-
pected by the California company
which has we'll under way, at
less than 5000 feet and the Madi-
son limestone at $500. Wet gas
was encountered at 1,100 feet
and test made by the American
Gasoline company of California
shows the gasoline content to-be
IL pints of high power gasoline
to 1000 cubic feet of gas. This
is claimed to be richer than the
gas found in che Okotoks field in
Calgary, where the Imperial Oil
company expects about gallon
of gasoline to 1000 feet of gas.
The American Gasoline COM
pany already has completed one
gas we'll and is started on a sec
ond hole. They intend to drill
several more with a view to in
stalling compression plant and
removing the gasoline.
The proposed sugar beet fact
ory, combined with the oil and
gas development. is giving pro-
mise of stimulating much activity
here during the coming year.

Business men find 1t absolutely nee.
essary to take inventory and prepare
financial statements. Such practice
has not been SO general with the
farmer. Here lies an open door OF
opportunity. The financial statement
is the first step toward reliable farm
accounting. Once the farmer gets
started in making statements 1t viii

to study more closely and minutely
his business and to ascertain the
sources of his profits as well as the
factors that make up his expenses.
When these are known ways will be
suggested as to how to increase re-
ceipts and reduce expenses. There are
both satisfaction and profit in follow
ing up from year to year these credit
statements and the farm records that
necessarily go with them.
