SUNBURST OIL
ASKS PROBE OF
LINE CHARGES

Pursuant to its announcement
of a week ago, the Sunburst Re
fining company Saturday flee
with the public utility commiss.
ion at Helena a complaint against
the Illinois Pipe Line company
asking an investigation into the
rates charged by the Illinois in
the Kevin-Sunburst field.
The plaintiff company alleges
that the pipe line company is
making an enormous profit on its
Investment and that the rate of
20 cents a barrel, now charged,
is excessive. The complaint was
signed by William G. Davis, sec
retary of the refining company,
through H. G. Murphy, general
counsel.
The complaint recites the sit
uation prevailing in the Toole
county oil fields. 1t is alleged
that the Illinois Pipe Line com
pany charges 20 cents per bar
rel of AZ gallons for carrying the
crude oil from the field TO the
shipping point at Sunburst and
that two per cent of the oil is de-
Quoted for transportation in
tanks. The pipe line company
has invested some S175, 900 in
equipment in the field, the COM
plant alleges, and has already
transported 100000 barrels of
Kevin oil to the shipping point,
making a gross earning of $780,
900 plus $4,000 barrels Of oil
which make up the two per cent
deducted. The $4,000 barrels of
oil deducted from the quantity
gagged for transportation has
value of $114. 700, hence the pipe
line company has made gross
of 1874, 700 on an invest
ment of 900, according to
the complaint.
Further details regarding op-
of the pipe line system
are given with figures indicating
profits at 20 cents per
barrel. The Sunburst company
asks that the rates be lowered
The pipe line company recently
filed a request with the commiss-
ion. asking that the rate be in
creased.

BUY A RADIO AND
GET THE NEWS

Listeners in on the radio Mon
day night were treated to unique
bit Of tragedy. which came in
rather clear from our neighbor-
ing town Of Sunburst.
A well known restaurant own
9r of that place and his cook en-
gagged in a heated argument
which eventually got to the point
where the owner decided to set
tie matters and playfulIy took a
stove poker and with it made a
few passes at his chef, who in
turn made hasty exit through
the rear door of the establish
ment.
The william took up the pursuit
but upon reaching the exterior of
the building, failed to observe his
opponent any where in sight. AS
a matter Of fact he never did see
him, for about the time that he
showed his Uranium around the
corner of a shed into the dark
night it was met by a huge war
like club, held in the hands Of
opposition. The runner circled
the bases for a home run-a reg
ular goal and the little birds went
tweet, tweet.
Real honest to goodness water,
which costs one buck a barrel de-
livered at the door any where in
the town of Sunburst, was used
unsparingly to revive the spark
of life that was left in the un-
fortunate ones body.
In the mean time a doctor ar
rived on the scene. The doctor
looked very grave, pulled out his
trusty needle, threaded it with
brand new thread and said: "A
stitch in time, saves nine" But
he was all wrong, for it did take
nine.
AS the announcer was about to /
make public the names of these
two gladiat0rs over the radio, too
much static spoiled it all. Sweet

METER SYSTEM
URGED TOSAVE
GAS LINE Loss
State Offici1ls Finds North
Field Revenue Totals $40,
600; Continue Surveys

Metering of gas used in the
Kevin field may become necess-
ary to prevent waste, in the op-
inion of V. E. William. Inspector
for the state public service COM
mission, who with G. E. Dennis,
also of the commission, who rec
entity made tour of the fed.
Mr.: William believes that the
matter of requiring pipe line
companies to install meters and
measure the gas instead of sell
ing it on a flat rate, will come be-
fore the commission. He finds
that on the fiat rate basis there
is no incentive to conserve the
gas. Conservation of natural gas
is required by a recent act of the
legislature, and under this law
the public service commission is
the inspections.
More gas is being lost through
leakage than should be, Mr.. Will
ham says. The law requires that
wells shall be properly capped,
this applying especially to aband
oned wells. Seepage of water
from one we'll to another may
cause great damage, the inspect
1r points out.
Mr.. William and Mr.. Dennis
nave been informed that from
all sources the state government
now receives $4,000 a month
rom this field.

MORE OIL RUMORS
ARE CIRCULATING

A report is current that the
California Company have found
an oil bearing sand in their Bow
es test we'll, that was encounter
ed soon after they resumed drill
ing. The local manager Mozart
ney and the state manager, Pet
er Larson Of Billings were here
Tuesday and went out t 0 the
well.
Reports from the Bowes well
however do not bear out the cur
rent rumor that the drill is in an
oil bearing sand and we were in
formed yesterday that there are
no new indications of oil. The
drill is nearing the Madison lime
with four inch casing and the
present test is nearing compile
tion.
1t is also reported that a car
of oil and a car Of casing are bill
ed into this country for Ostland's
test on the Cherry Ridge struc-
ture north of Chinook. Local
people interested in the structure
say that they expect that drill
ing will be resumed on the
Cherry Ridge test this winter
and that Bert Walker is coming
back from Shelby to take charge
of the work. Their understand
ing is that the test is to be car
ried on down to the Eagle which
on that structure is thought to
be down about 1900 to 1000 feet,
in the hopes of possible produc
tion there. Chinook Opinion.

RICE OIL PAYS
STATE $4,000
IN TWO WEEKS
VIII Be Largest Single Royalty
Check Montana Has Ever
Received

Montana's state government
will receive $4,000 for the last
half of October as its royalty
from the Rice lease in the Kelvin
Sunburst field, w. E. Rice of the
Rice Oil company announced in
Great Falls recently.
When the Rice company sent
the state $4,000 in royalty for the
first period Of October, the state
treasurer's Office wrote back that
this was the largest single check
for oil royalties which Montana
had yet received. The $4,000
check will reflect the Stannard
No. l well, which came in Octo-
ber 5, but was not connected
with the pipe line during that
royalty period.
The Stannard No. l has aver
aged around $500 barrels day,
Mr.. Rice said. The total output
of the company's 10 producers is
around 1000 barrels daily.
All these wells have been drill
ed since the 1st of May Of this
year. Of the IL holes 2mpleted,
only one was dry. I ard
No. 3 is now being nd
will soon be complete M
ing in of Stannard No. l and the
consequent need for tanks and
the installation of other equip
ment has delayed work or NV
No. 3.
The first we'll was completed
June 10. 1t proved the hardest
drilling of the II, and except for
it. the longest time spent drill
ing any of the wells was 1S days.
The best time was 13 days and
the next best, IA days.
Mr.. Rice reported that all pre-
parations are virtually completed |
for winter, so that steady pro
duction can continue, regardless
of extreme weather. The status
of the Rice lease is indicated by
the assertion made recently at
Sunburst by Fred E. Buck, chief
engineer for the public service
commission, who said that in his
opinion the tract was in the best
condition of any in the field. All
water pipes haye been a d s.
Tanks, boilers and machinery
have been placed under cover.
Electric lighting is used through

costing at least 100000, is ex-
Dected to be completed within 80

Washington, D. c., N ov. :
The American oil industry today
was facing the greatest tax cri
sis Of the history.
Announcement by Chairman
William R. Green, republican
Iowa, of the ways and means
committee, that he favors wip.
ing out entirely the discovery
depletion allowance looms as 3
treat to the development Of new
fields throughout the country.
Wiping out of the discovery
depletion allowance would have
its greatest immediate effect in
Montana, New Mexico and west
Texas, where development is in
it's infancy.
The committee is now in execu-
tive session writing the new tax
bill and it is impossible to learn
whether the majority of the COM
mittee holds the same view as
Chairman Green But the great
power welded by Green because
of his position has the entire oil
industry aroused.
The announcement by Green
took both the treasury depart
ment and the oil industry entire
ly by susprise. At the treasury
it had been taken for granted,
Solicitor 0 f Internal Revenue
Gregg said, that since congress
had decided on the question of
policy in the three different tax
laws that have been enacted be-
with the first war re-
bill that discovery deple
5ion should b e allowed = that
question would not arise. The oil
industry apparently also held
hat view.
Indeed the raising Of the ques-
ion at this time may hold up the
work of the presidents oil board,
over by Secretary of In
.erior Work. which is studying
every phase Of the oil industry
With a view to formulating ma
ional policy toward oil produc-
ion.
Prominent men in the industry |
lave substituted suggestions to
he board made up of the secre-
ary of interior, the secretary of |
var, the secretary of navy, and |
he secretary Of commerce, and
hese suggestions, which were
invited by the board, were made
y the oil men under the impress
ion that discovery depletion was
fixed policy of congress.
1t is considered probable here
hat many Of the oil men who
the questionnaires sent
ut by the presidents oil board
7ill withdraw their answers un-
il the taxing policy of congress +
ecomes known. Any considera-
lie number of Withdrawals would
asult in delay of the report
mbracing all phases 0 { the
oil problem which the
oard had expected to submit to {
resident Coolidge and congress
t the coming session.
Almost simultaneously with {
hartman Green's announcement {
ecretary Of Interior Work in a
.atement said that failure to
ring in new producing wells for
two-year period would, in the
Dinion of government scientists,
} reduce the supply as to slow
own industry and bring about a
srious situation.
Oil men say that abolition Of I
lie discovery depletion woulden't t
ssult in failure to bring in any
aw wells for the next two years,
