REESE.R SEES
OIL GAINS

with both production and stocks
of gasoline showing o decline, the
crude oil situation is stronger now
than at any other time this year,
z. B. Reeser, head OF the Barns
dali Corp, and president Of the
American Petroleum Institute, de-
clared today.
Mr.. Reeser said:
Continuation Of the daily al
lowabIe yield in Oklahoma at
$4,000 barrels, and with prOra-
tiOn In Texas for the first time
under general orders Of the
Railroad Commission, which be-
comes effective August n, con-
tinued strength in the crude oil
situation is assured for the re-
mainder Of the year. The Cal
ifOrnia situation remains as
sured for the remaider Of the
year also.
Producers through voluntary
agreements or State proration
measures have reduced crude oil
production to below the figure set
by the Committee on Petroleum
Economics. which recommended
that production be curtailed to
2,607 900 barrels daily.
When the general proration
order in Texas, which becomes
effective August 81, hppinS Tn
work I believe the industry viii
reduce its daily output of crude
oil by another 100000 barrels.
This means that the industry
intends to reduce its tremendous
stocks Of petroleum products
above ground at an orderly rate.
The refining division Of the
industry has shown Q decided
Improvement. Stocks Of gasO-
line in hands Of refiners repre-
Senting 95.7 per cent Of its re-
filming capacity on August is,
amounted to 41,252, 900 barrels,
a reduction of 1874, 900 barrels
from the high point, which was
for week ended March 20.
Stocks of gasoline were lowest
since the week ended Decem-
Der FL, 1929, and 7OS,OOO bar.
relS less than week ended De
cember %. 1929. A further de-
cline in stocks of gasoline and
all petroleum products is ex-
pected."

field, now less than two years
old, has produced more than
81 900, 100000 in high-gravity oil.
1t is believed that future OPP
erations in the Badger Basin field
will be carried on with rotary
equipment, since the formation
seems perfectly adapted to this
type of equipment.
The shales in this area are soft
enough to allow of extremely ra-
pid progress and yet firm enough
to withstand caving.
Completion of the well, in the
opinion of operators familiar with
the Montana situation, is the final
shred of evidence necessary TO
prove the existence of tremendous
oil deposits in the sharp-dip struc-
lures which parallel the face of
the Rockies for practically their
entire extent across the center of
the state.
At the southern end of the
mountain chain, two light oil fields
are now proven for production,
Dry Greek and Badger Basin. At
the northern end of the mountain
chain, ON a similar type structure,
Turner Valley is in production
with more than five dozen wells
pouring forth a huge volume of
casinghead gasoline.
In the intervening area, now re-
garded as proven over practically
its entire length, operations are
now under way or contemplated
on some half-dozen structures,
with many additional operations
scheduled for commencement with
the coming of spring.

summit of an impressive rock, a
strange wooded height amid barren
lands. 1t was given to st. Francis
of Assist by Conte Catani, lord of
Chiusi, in 1913. Here the saint lived
his hermit life. and it is affirmed
to be the scene of his stigmata in

blood stains, points to no evidence
of struggle, which indicates that
the blow fell swiftly upon the head
of the unsuspecting girl. The skull
was so badly battered that it is
not known whether more than one
blow was struck. The mother had
apparently been in her stocking
feet, had removed her blood-stain-
ed house dress, with which she
wiped up the floor and the blood
stained iron bar. The smell of burn
ing cloth was noticeable in the
kitchen and when officers examin-
ed the stove they found that the
dress had been burned and also
found an empty 4-ounce bottle
that had contained a powerful dis
infectant which Mrs. Hietila had
swallowed after putting on her
best dress and stockings. She had
then gone to the barn where she
completed her own destruction.
The mother and children were
very devoted to one another. Mrs.
Hietila was considered a metieul-
Gus housekeeper and good worker.
She did much washing during the
day, sometimes worked far into
the night, to provide for herself
and children. The girls were also
employed in private homes after
school hours. The husband and ia
Their, Abraham Hietila, died sud-
denly on Christmas Eve in 1927.
He was a miner and had been off
work few days prior to his death
because of an injured finger. Fol
lowing an autopsy over his body,
death was pronounced due to acute
dilation of the heart. He had mar
ried Hilma Lampsa in 1908.
Funeral arrangements are pend
ing the arrival of Elma Hietila,
the oldest daughter of the family,
from Long Beach, California where
she went in September at the close
of the Yellowstone Park season,
having been employed there the
past summer. A double funeral
will probably be held from Work
ers' Hall Saturday. The remains of
mother and daughter will be placed
beside the fathers grave in the
Red Lodge cemetery.
Eleanor was a member of the
Junior class in Carbon County
High School. Elizabeth is in the
Freshman class.
