East Texas is located on the flank of the great
Sabine uplft Oil normally should be found at the top
of a gigantic fold of this kind. But the oil is here
trapped in the sand of Cretaceous ocean beach The
edge of the beach is the edge of the oil field rrespec

Cut Bank oil field is located the flank of the
great SgseetgyaSs orch Here oil IS found ~ the sand
of CyetGceoMs beach that hkezESSe IS not pre-
sent on the top of the orch. The edge of the beach
IS the upper edge of the oil pool.
In East Texas this sand is found at depth OF
5000 feet
In Cut Bank this sand is found at depth of
1900 feet.
THE HARE AND THE TURTLE
Because of its proximity to oil country, the
possibilities of East Texas were quickly recognized and
as a result there are TWO THOUSAND active oper-
ators in East Texas.
Cut Bank is a long nay from centerS Of finance

East Texas today has FIFTEEN THOUSAND

ton of East Texas wells 65.13 barrels per day.
During the year 1888 the Average initial byOdac-
tiOD of Montana zUeHs zUus o6.6l barrels per day.
During the first six months of this year East
Texas had average initial production of 6l.55 bar
rels per day.
The Average for Montana Nth but 90 COM
pletioMS for the period o098 barrels per
day.
We averaged the initial production of 81 oil 5UeLs
completed in Cut Bank this year and found the Average
to be l04 barrels per day.
AREA IS ABOUT THE SAME
East Texas has spread out until it is nearly so
miles long and from three to eight miles across,
bracing 10000 acres
CIT Bank is not yet fully outlined but thus far
production is found from the Canadian border to the
M0viGs yivey distance of 40 miles and NJ. s. Darling
and other conservative biologists estimate that the
bYoven area of Cut Bank is 10000 acres.
East Texas has thus far produced approximately
5250O00O0 barrels of oil and perhaps another lO0-
100000 barrels of "hot" oil.
Cut Bank has produced less than FIVE million
barrels.
East Texas with $1,000 wells is producing 10000
barrels per day. average of % barrels per well per
day.
Cut Bank NTH 141 producers is producing 4,2O0
barrels per day, Average of % barrels per aeH

hot oil restricting legitimate producers refiners and

East Texas is a dog-fight for life.
Cut Bank is sIoav, sleepy OIL field BY compars-

Thus the statement of the Texan who said that he
would rather have 100 barrels of production in North

Texas.

Mistake of Band Leader Saves

Are Injured.

By the Associated Press.
POONA, India, June 26-The
Mahatma Gandhi, frail little leader
of millions. although he holds no
public Office, has escaped another at
tempt to assassinate him.
When an automobile arrived at a
hall yesterday where Gandhi was
scheduled to speak a boy scout band
struck up tune and the crowd
cheered.
A man made his way to the car,
tossed a bomb into it and fled. All
five passengers we're injured, but the
Mahatma was not one of them. He
arrived few minutes later. The mis-
take of the band leader in thinking
he was in the car was credited with
having saved the Mahatma from
death or injury.
This outrage will not injure my
cause, but will make it stronger" said
Gandhi, describing it as the seventh
attempt on his life. IF they think
my body is so sinful they should have
singled me out of the crowd and not
injured innocent persons"
Gandhi is touring India in behalf
of the Nationalist cause, campaigning
for the lower classes.

SMALL FACTORIES
HELD RELIEF GOAL
Hopkins Urges Dropping OF
Mass Production
Theory.
ny the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
A countryside dotted with small
factories and the Nation breaking
away from the theory of mass pro-
duction were held up yesterday by
Harry L. Hopkins as major ways of
ending unemployment.
The Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministrator expressed the hope that
such a decentralization of industry
might be brought about by industry
itself, along with governmental plan
ming for a reservoir of work that
could be tapped in time of need and
unemployment insurance guarantee
ing security to the industrial worker.
IT would like to see industry de-
centralized, breaking away from mass
production to small units" said Hop
kins. Il think that many industries
can be operated efficiently in small
units. I believe industry will do it
ITSELF
Would Empty Cities.
Hopkins said his idea would result
in lowering the populations OF large
cities. He also expressed the belief it
would be a good thing to get people
out of tenements and INTO individual
homes.
The relief problem, Hopkins said,
rapidly is approaching the point
where it will have to be dealt with
on other than an emergency basis.
Il have often said" he added, that
I don't believe this is any way to
handle unemployment or the farmer
who cannot make the grade. I think
that whatever these people require,
will have to be had by assurance of
work not in the form of relief l
cannot see millions of people depend
ing on relief as their means OF get
ting assurance of living"
Hopkins said that public works, in
his opinion, should be planned on
longtime basis so arranged as to be
expanded to give work at once when
an unemployment crisis arose.
Urges Land for Worker.
The second basis of unemployment
relief plans, he said, depends on de-
centralization of industry by private
business SO that the worker may live
on a piece of land with decent
house instead of in tenementS.
The drought situation In the West
has resulted in 100000 to 400, 900 be-
ing added to relief rolls, Hopkins said.
The s75,0OO,O00 allotted to the
Emergency Relief Administration for
drought relief by President Roosevelt
yesterday will be given to the States
in installments over a period of
months, Hopkins said. The alloca-
tions for July are expected to be
available by Friday.
