While claims are made of 100
to 200 barrel production from the
Kipling well, it actually made n
barrels per hour for IL hours when
it had pumped off, in an ofticiai
test.
This oil is coming from a depth
of sos feet. It is high gravity
crude.
Imagine a Lon Crumley or P.
T.. Eddy or an E. B. Coolidge with
an Oil field that would give 20
barrel wells at sos feet! 1t would
be a bonanza that would back

there is no such situation here at
Hob Head.
can best explain 20 Montana
readers by saying that Washington
rit at the same stage in Its OIL
development that Montana was IN
1914 when oil was struck on Swift
current, in Glacier park, in the
Rocky Mountains. The Hon Head
well is drilled in the vicinity or
oil seeps similar to those in the
Rocky Mountains above Glacier
Park. 1t is about as much an Oil
field as Waterton lake.
1t is rather difficult to under

the oil country. AS an example,
they do not even follow customary
usage in designating their wells.
They name a well like naming a
battleship. They may call it after
a dear friend or a pet alligator or
the owner of the we'll may name 1t
after himself. That explains why
we never could understand the
failure of the Simms we'll, discovery

He had what everyone thought was
a 25-barrel well at 800 feet. Yet
it was not commercial and none in
Montana could understand it. A
second well, the "Gilky No. 1" was
drilled, and the news regarding this
we'll petered out. This is the in
side story Of the "Gilky No. l."

appear that the significance Of this
oil at Hob Head is to direct drill
lers to the we'll defined folds back
from the Olympic mountains. Per-
haps they're back in the foothills
to the east. Perhaps the pools will
be found out in the ocean. The
fact remains that the same oil
bearing horizons found in Cali
fornia are present in Washington.
Furthermore, THEY CONTAIN OIL.
It is no place for shoestring oper-
ators. 1t is $500 to 10.000-foOt
drilling. with a lot OF problems not
encountered elsewhere.
Washington oil development in
the past has been entrusted to
ribbon clerks, stock statesmen and
real estate men with little knowl-
edge of the science of oil drilling.
Oil men are just beginning TO ar
rive. The significance OF the oil
found at the Kipling well will be
by them. Once the
problem of accumulation is solved,
the oil industry will assume the
importance to Washington industry
that the waning lumber industry
has had in the past and may pos
sibly rival the oil industry Of
California. Certainly there Is no
finer place in the world to bring
in big oil field than near Puget
Sound.

with the Soviets has been extended
for one year, but France has not
ratified the treaty OF alliance with

diate unfavorable effect it would have

Imports of Butter May Equal
First Quarter Volume in 1885

half a dozen countries came over the
American tariff wall early in 1885 be-
cause domestic prices were high
enough to be favorable. Largely as a
result Of the 1884 drought, butter pro-
duction and supplies dropped low
enough to permit this importation.
Now, according to some traders,
prices and conditions are almost as
favorable to foreign shippers as they
were then. During the Fall butter
production was approximately Is per
cent below the level the preceding Fall
and because consumption held up
stocks were reduced from a large sur
plus to an actual shortage compared
with year ago.
Lately, production mas improved, the
last American Association report in
dicating q gain Of about . per cent
from the previous week. but still the
level was Z per 4 int below last year.
