OHIO SEEKS TO
SUPPLY MONTANA
TOWNS With GAS

Ohio Oil company will not aban
don its effort to secure natural ga.
franchises in Livingston, Bozeman
Big Timber and Columbus, accord.
ing to recent Announcements of the
| Ohio Oil Company's Montana of.
| fieials.
Ohio's application for franchises
in these towns have been contested
by the Montana Power Company
which has thus far gained an adj
vantage of the city councils of the
respective towns. Ohio Oil COM
pany will not abandon the fight
but will ask for franchises in each
of these towns, even if the Montana
Power Company gets franchises.
There is no such thing as an ex-
elusive gas franchise in Montana.
1--WE propose to use Montana gas
in Montana Cities" said an Off
cial of the Ohio. I'VE do not believe
that it is to the best interests of
Montana cities and citizens thai
Wyoming gas be brought into Mon
tana cities when there is ample
Montana gas available. Ohio Oil
Company has adequate reserves to
care for the needs of these towns,
including Billings, for the next S5
or 40 years, from Montana strue-
lures"
Ohio Oil company controls prac-
tieally all of the gas producing ar
ca of southeastern Montana in
GLIDING Elk Basin, which is sup
plying Billings, and Dry Greek.
Ohio engineers estimate a reserve
of 20 billion cubic feet on Dry CIR
eek and 40 billion on Elk Basin. On
Dry Creek the Frontier sand has a
rock pressure of 400 feet and the
Dakota sand has rock pressure
of 1000 pounds.
Ample Reserves
1t is pointed out that Ohio Oil
company has adequate reserves and
financial ability to construct and
operate a gas line. The preliminary
surveys of the Ohio contemplated
a line costing about two and one
half million dollars. Armed with
the further argument that Mon
tana gas should be used in Mon
tana cities, the Ohio is appealing
to the people of Bozeman on Nov
ember Is to respect its right to a |
franchise as against gas imported |
from Wyoming, Canada or else
where. Ohio maintains it has this
right as a result of the fact that it |
has been operating in Montana for
more than eleven years and has a
large investment in the state. It's
operation of gas lines
for 40 years, without outside help, |
is pointed out as proof that it can
be relied upon to adequately care
for the needs of southern Montana
cities.-Montana Oil Journal.
B0Zeman Elections
Bozeman freeholders were called
upon to vote at the polls Tuesday
on the Montana Power company's
for gas franchise in
that city. Today the Bozeman free
holders will vote upon the appli-
cation of the Billings Gas company,
which secures its gas from the
Ohio. The freeholders will deter
mine whether two franchises, one
franchise or none shall be granted
oy the city commissioners.

Somewhat Disturbing

A man was in the habit of open.
ing his Bible at random and taking
the first thing his eye alighted upon
as something that would be helpful
to him.
One day the first verse he read
was, Judas went out and hanged
himself" and not thinking this quite
suitable he shut the book and
opened it again at another place.
The verse his eyes fell upon was,
$50 thou and do likewise"
He tried again, and this time, to
his amazement, he read, What thou
doest, do quickly"

MORROW LUNCHES
AT WHITE HOUSE
Envoy, Here for Conferences,
Expects to Leave Tonight
for Jersey Home.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Dwight w. Morrow, about to retire as
Ambassador to Mexico to campaign as
the Republican senatorial nominee in
New Jersey, discussed Mexican affairs
with State Department officials today
and was invited to lunch with President
Hoover.
Submittal Of his resignation from the
diplomatic corps was imminent. The
President was not expected to name a
successor at once. He was understood
at the White House to feel the Mexico
CITY embassy was in capable hands,
Arthur Bliss Lane, charge d,affaires,
being one OF the most capable men in
the diplomatic corps
Mr.. Morrow expects to conclude his
conferences and leave late tonight for
his home in Englewood, N. j.
The Ambassador was unwilling to
discuss Mexico's financial and economic
condition, saying merely that he con-
Sldered Mexico to be weathering the
storm of worldwide economic depres-
sion as well as could be expected.
He declined to discuss in detail the
status OF claims now being studied by
the claims commission in Mexico. He
SAID the work OF the commission had
never been carried on through the en-
basSy. The division of waters of the Rio
Grande between the United States and
Mexico, and adjustments between the
two countries rising out of the Hoover
Dam project were characterized by the
ambassador as problems falling under
the jurisdiction of the claims commits
sion and at no time topic for CONVEX
sation by embassy officials.
Asked whether he had suggested a
successor for the Mexico post. the Am
bassador replied that 1t was a fair
question. but said he did not intend to
make the suggestion unless he were
asked to do so. "'Ae
