NO CAUSE FOR
ALARM : COOLIDGE
President Sees No Alarming Situation
Existing in Regard to the
Anthracite Coal Strike.

Swampscott, Mass With the
anthracite suspension in effect, Presi-
dent Coolidge has represented today
at the summer white house as of the
belief that there is no cause for
alarm over fuel supply unless
buyers become panicky.
1t was reiterated that the admin
istration does not intend to take any
hand in the controversy but will do
what it can to get anthracite supplies
for the public at fair prices.
Anxiety on the part of the public
over a fuel supply in the presidents
opinion would simply have the effect
of bringing on a shortage, through
excessive purchases and undoubtedly
an increase in prices,

this city and of Milwaukee, was the
largest federal income tax payer in
the state of Wisconsin, according to
the figures which had thus far been
made public today subsequent to the
opening of the income tax lists in
Milwaukee late Monday. His tax was
$459,776.
Developments came thick and fast
in the income tax situation today
following the publication of the lists
as provided in the law recently passed
by Congress. One of the chief devel-
opments was an announcement made
at Swampscott by those in close touch
with President Coolidge in which the
latter's attitude towards the repeal of
the publicity provisions of the law
were made public.
Important Associated Press bulletins
regarding the income tax situation,
giving the reported incomes of many

and financial leaders follow:
SWampscotC, Mass. - - - Fresl-
dent Coolidge is confident that the
publicity provisions of the tax law
should be repealed and it was indicat-
ed today at the White Court that in
December he would renew his recon-
mendation for their abolition to Con-
gress.
Coincident with the making public
of income tax returns it was indicat-
ed here officially that the President
believes that this requirement of law
interferes with the collection of rev.
enue and works to the detriment OF
the government.

| people together by ties of common
knowledge and for a common pur
pose. We have resources of labor Sc
abundant that we have placed an ar
tificial check upon immigration.
These things are our material re-
sources. They constitute the basic
material element - but the real
foundation of our progress is not ma
terial. 1t is that other, more valuable
resource capacity and character
of our people. To that we owe the
discovery and development of our
natural resources, their use and their
conservation; to that we owe the es-
tablishment and development of a
nation founded on ideals of equal
rights, ideals of equal opportunity,
ideals of equal responsibility, which
remain today untarnished, which now
shine forth with greater luster than
ever before.
The Character Of Our People
From it have come the patience and
the wisdom which have reconciled
effective authority and adequate lib
erty. From it has come the tolerance
which has preserved freedom of
speech, of press and of pulpit. From
it has come the foresight which es-
tablished free public schools. From
it has come the courage which COM
manded adherence to principle at the
cost of selfish gain, even at the cost
of life itself. From it has come the
respect for the rights and privileges
of ones fellow man which has found
expression in guarantees of equal rep
resentation and universal suffrage.
The character of our people is
spring which has never run dry. 1t
has had its source ever and always
in the stern and firm faith of the
Pilgrim fathers-a political faith
based upon and grounded in the
tenets of the Christian religion. De-
spite every other influence, the
strong and steady current Of the Pill
grirn's faith has persisted through
generation after generation.
1t is this invaluable resource-the
capacity and character Of our people
that has made America great in the
past, that will make America greater
and more powerful in the future. AS
long as we uphold our established
standards OF belief and conduct, we
need have no fear for the future Of
America

EAST SIDE OF FIELD
WILL SEE NEW ONES

! The east side of the field will
see a great number of new wells
commenced this spring especial
ly in the lower part of township
35-1 west. According to reports
the Tom Anderson lease, most of
which is owned by S. C. Ferdig
will have % wells drilled by the
Ferdig company this year. There
have already been II wells drill
ed on this lease, without a dry
hole and while none of the wells
are sensational producers, every
one Of them have been running
oil steadily since their compile
ton. One of the factors making
this end of the field especially
attractive was the discovery of 3
horizons of production in the
wells here. The sand averages at
least 80 to 40 feet in thickness,
and in some instances, as high
as 10 feet. The wells run from
so barrels to 100 barrels daily,
with very little or no water
showing.
Contractor Ferdig has an espe-
cially good lease in the Anderson
place, and has also additional
acreage in this immediate vicin-
ity. In section 80 of the same
township and south of the Fer
dig holdings there will be a num-
ber of wells drilled and also in
section 30 and 81, where there
has been some fine wells complet-
ed during the past year. The In
ternational we'll in section "a if
commercial will add greatly to
the eastern boundaries of this
part of the field. A we'll will also
be drilled in section %, just west
of the Mountain States-Dipple in
t he same section. This we'll
should find production as the
Dipple well has over 1,300 feet
of oil standing in the hole at this
time.

Second Advance in Ten
Days on Kevin Crude

| A second advance in the price
of Kevin crude oil ordered by the
Midwest Refining and the Ohio
EOil companies within 10 days was
posted Saturday in the northern
Montana field. On January %, a
Is cent advance was posted, TAX
ling the price from 80 cents to
l$1.05 a barrel and Saturdays
boost of seven cents makes it
SLIP.
With bonuses paid in the field
| b y Independent refiners, h e
price generally received by in
dependent producers there range
from S1.22 to $1.37. Saturdays
advance affects virtually all pro-
ducing fields in Montana and
Wyoming, the increases ranging
from seven to 40 cents. Grass
Creek (light) Elk Basin and Cat
Greek were advanced 20 cents,
to Sligo; Usage, Lance Creek, up
20 cents, to $1.60; Rock Creek,
up20 cents, to S1.40; Salt Creek,
up 20 cents, to $1.30; Mule Creek,
up 40 cents, to ST..
Another advance also was an
nounced Saturday by the Mag
nolia Petroleum company at Dal-
las, Texas. Corsican was increas-
ed 80 cents, to $3.50, with Meixa
and Wortham oil advancing 20
cents, to $1.70. In the east and
midwest, the Ohio advanced
various fields 25 cents, making
Lima S2.08, Indiana S1.88; Illinois.
S1.87, Princeton $1.87, Plymouth
81 40, Wooster S1.95.
Saturdays announcements of
price increases closely followed
the American Petroleum institute
report for the week ended Janu-
ary "a, which showed a slump in
the average daily production of
20, ,45O barrels, ascompared 2,023-
$50 the week before.
Expected advances in Rocky
Mountain oil prices were delayed
until now because of the flush
production Of the Wortham field
late last year. During the last
month that field has become de-
fined, with its area we'll deter
mined. Revised estimates place
the productive area of the field
at 900 acres, as against an origin
al 200 acres. This acreage is
expected to yield $4,000 barrels
of oil to the acre, according to

Spokane Will Benefit
By Kevin Oil Field

! Developments in the north
western oil industry. which will
include the addition Of thousands
of dollars to Spokane's annual
revenue, doubling Of the capa-
city Of the Spokane refinery north
of Hillyard, and the probable
construction of 100000 lubri-
eating oil refinery in the district
is seen by local stockholders in
the announcement of advances Of
Is cents per barrel in the price
of oil at the Kevin field in Mon
tana, says the Spokane Chronicle.
Announcement Of the price a6-
vance from 90 cents to 81 .05 per
barrel, an increase of 16 2 ker
cent, has been made by tie Ohio
company, subsidiary Vi the
Standard Oil company. according
to information received here to-
day by w. S. Hawley, manager
of the Big West Oil company.
This company has five producing
wells in the Kevin field and the
list of Spokane stockholders in
cludes w. S. Hawley, Jake Hill,
DR.. t. R. Northrup, Dan G. Mum
ro, DR.. Howard Clemmer, DIR. H.
c. Lambach, Harry Wraight,
Frank j. Costello. DR.. Charles
Rigg and others. On the basis of
the present production of the field
the advance means an increased
revenue of S25, 900 annually to
Spokane. The advance is in line
with field price increases an
nounced in other oil centers.
Ia addition to the price advan-
ces it is considered of unusual
significance that the AS sociated
Laboratories of San Francisco
regarded by important oil COM
panies as the authority OH rela-
tive oil values has announced
that so per cent of the break in
Kevin samples show high grade
lubricating oil content. Upon this
finding is based the contention
of local men that lubricating oil
production may soon become an
important phase Of northwest oil
production, and that a 100000
lubrlcating oil refinery is pro-
liability.

WESTERN PET-X
SHOW BIG FIGURES

Production records prepared
by F. G. Platt of the Northern
Oil Information Bureau show
that the Western Petroleum Ex-
ploration company has produced
81. .466.47 barrels of oil in the
Kevin field. OF this total II $780,
SO barrels has been produced on
leases of the Gordon Campbell
Kevin No. 1 syndicate on joint
operating agreement.
The Western Pet-X has been
idle during the past year, owing
to the low price of oil and unsat-
isfactory conditions in general.
The company is we'll pleased with
its Kevin operations. however,
having drilled l8 wells in the
field. getting IA producers and
four dry holes. The company
has had no sensational wells, but
instead, has been making steady
progress with wells of small aver
age initial production.
The company's fifth lease is
the j. O. Berglin permit which
has produced 19,777.1O barrels
since the one completion on Jan.
10, 1923. 1t has been offset on
the north, south and west, the
north and south locations being
dry, while the west location, Ohio
Stockman's National bank No. 1,
is not making over 10 barrels, it
having produced total of ,963.-
IA barrels since it was completed
April 5, 1923. This is one Of the
peculiar features of the Ellis
sand, which can only be explain
ed by the lack of sand in the
other wells. The Western Pet-X
has the record among the larger
companies for econaical opera
tions, Platt declares: they hav-
ing completed several of their
wells in II days actual drilling
time to a total depth Of over L.
600 feet.

Figures showing the produc-
tion of the several wells drilled
during last year on the Corey
lease in 1912 west show that
l32,76S barrels of oil were run
for the first six months from the
lease. On June 1, 1924, there had
not been a well drilled on this
lease, yet on December 81, this
lease had produced the above
amount of oil as well as having
a well rated as one of the largest
yet found in the state, the John
son No. 3 rated at from 5000 to
$4,000 flush.
The Corey farm was originally
leased by the Sunburst Oil & Gas
company, and by them sub-ieased
and operated by four indepen-
dent operators. The first well
completed on this lease was brot
in by Crumley & Mcknight on
June Is of last year, production
being found in a stray sand just
above the Ellis sand. An active
campaign was thereafter
inaugurated by the three remain
ing companies with the result
that 13 wells were completed be-
fore the end of the year, 10 of
which were producers, producing
an average of over 10000 barrels
a month since the first compile
tion. AS there are locations on
the Corey lease for 4 miles, the
farm is only about one-third
drilled out.

Their No. l location has not as

those best able to estimate pro-
bable production. The estimate
is based on the recovery of oil
from the Powell and Mexia fields,
similar pools. On that basis,
Wortham will produce 81, 100000
barrels of oil.
Wortham now is making about
100000 barrels Of oil a day, COM
pared with the high point of 167,-
900 on January 10. The drop in
production was slightly faster
than occurred at Powell and Mex
ia. The Humphreys-Boyd COM
pany, from Is acres on the Sim
mons lease, has produced to date
more than 100000 barrels of oil.
The drop in production is held
to be due to the rapid depletion
O t the gas pressure, which
caught many operators in the
field without pumps to use on the
wells. A similar condition pre-
vailed at Mexia and Powell.
