CITIZENS RAP
TAKOMA CAR
RER0UTING
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

Citizens Associations Editor
The Columbia Heights Business
Mems Association last night regis
tered vigorous protest against the
recent order of the Public Utilities
Commission, authorizing the Capt.
tai Transit Company to abandon
the Kennedy Street car line be-
tween Georgia Avenue and Four
tenth Street, which would COM
pei all Takoma cars to be re-
routed down Georgia Avenue.
After members had pointed out
the loss in business that would re-
suit from the proposed change,
1t was voted to cooperate with
various citizens associations in
the Northwest in an effort to
have the order recinded, and the
matter was referred to the follow
ing committee appointed by Pres
ident Louis r. Gottleib: Walter
P. Gray, Philip A. Hanigan, Viii.
liam E. Dismer and H. D. Never
son.
Thomas Lauded
In resolution by H. j. Phillips,
association secretary, Senator
Elmer Thomas and the members
Of his committee considering the
District appropriation were COM
mended for opposing any cut in
the SIS, 100000 Federal contribution
set by the Bureau Of the Budget
and later approved by the presi-
dent, B. j. Werner, president of
the Mount Pleasant Citizens AS
Socition, enlisted the business
mems support in organizing a po-
lice boys club in the Columbia
Heights-Mount Pleasant section.
Harold A. Emery, senior vice
commander Of the Lincoln Post,
American Legion, in a brief ad-
dress urged support in obtaining
a swimming pool in East Potomac
Park and to oppose any attempt
to make charge to children
using the pool.
The July meeting being the an
nual meeting Of the association,
was voted to be held in Rock Greek
Park.
New members elected were Will
liam Sinker, Thomas B.. Ramey
and o. C. Foster. The meeting was
held in the Tompkins Building,
Fourteenth and Park Rd.
Parkometers Eyed
A study of the parkometer SyS-
tenn as a means to curb all-day
parking along lower Connecticut
Avenue, was ordered by the Con.
necticut Avenue Association, at a
meeting held last night in the
Mayflower. Charles Camalier
was named chairman Of the COM
mittee to make the report.
1t was pointed by C. A. Martin,
president, that frequently no at
tention is ever paid to no park
ing" signs, which police admit
they are powerless to inforce, ow-
ing to limited personnel.
On motion by Lawrence E.
Rubel, the association donated
$25 toward the current fund being
raised by the Metropolitan Police
for organizing boys clubs.
Abolition Of all obsolete cars on
the H Street suburban line, of the
Capital Transit Company, and a
request for more courtesy for
passengers on the part of motor
men and conductors, was de-
manded in a resolution adopted by
the Northeast Boundary Citizens
Association, at a meeting last
night in the Paramount Heights
Presbyterian Church. Copies Of
the resolution were ordered sent
to the Public Utilities Commission
and the traction company. Plans
were formulated for organizing a
police boys club in the northeast,
east of the AnacoStia River.

AID MYSTERY
OF WILDCAT

Reports reaching Great Falls this
week from the Del Bonita wildcat
in southern Alberta, northwest OF
Cut Bank oil field. indicated that
commercial production has been
developed by deeper drilling and
|acidization- Arrival OF new drill
ing crews at the we'll is said to
herald still deeper drilling.
Continued mystery about the
well, further promoted by the storm
which made &c inaccessible to any
except airplane travel Is said TO
be related to the fact that the
Terminal Oil company is taking
up available property interests in
and around the we'll Fluctuation
OF the stock of Nordon corporation
in recent weeks is said to be based
on this factor.
In Shelby it was stated that
British-American Oil company has
agreed to buy the Del Bonita pro-
duction for Its Coutts refinery.
This report led to some fear in
north Montana oil circles that Del
Bonita might cut in on the Mon
tana market. Others pointed out,
however. that large claims were
made for the two wells on Twin
Rivers structure. nearby, yet these
wells over a period of years have
no oil.
Credence to the belief that the
Del Bonita well has from 100 to
zoo barrels OF daily production is
given by the fact that Sunshine
Oil company OF Vancouver, In which
Neil Mcqueen is interested, is going
ahead with q drilling program.
When this well first struck oil,
Mcqueen sent a veteran Montana
operator to test the flow, and the
made no move at that
ime, as the showing was not suf-
icient to encourage 5,OO0-foot
lrilling. Now the Sunshine is go
ng ahead with three wells on its
i,OO0-acre lease block.
Terminal Oil company officials
emained at the well throughout
he past week and gave out no ac-
cunt of what is happening.

OF the Gulf Company filed shows
that Gulf has approximately $4,000
invested in Montana which coin
cides with the figure shown in pre-
vious annual reports by Gypsy OIL
The Gypsy was an entrant in
field in early DAYS,
taking leases on the south slope
which developed into the gas field
which now supplies Shelby, Conrad

are now being operated by the

expected, despite widely discussed
'umors to the contrary.

INCREASES
In OIL RUNS
ARE Due SOON

1t Is rumored in Kevin-Sunburst
field that Big west Refining COM
pany at Kelvin will increase its runs
on March 1 to 100 per cent in pre-
paration for increased spring de-
mands. Big West has curtailed
runs to around SO per cent during
the winter months but its runs have
been greatly curtailed in recent
weeks by the cold weather. Big
West is still paying $1.15 for its
crude, under it's old contracts, not
having followed the increase of In
ternational and Ohio of cents
per barrel.
There is every reason to expect
that international will increase its
runs in the not distant future, since
storage oil in the field is running
low and few operators have been
making their allowable during the
cold weather. While movement of
refined products has likewise been
the spring demand is
to call for more crude than
Kelvin wells can Immediately supply
The alternative Is that Information
al may supply the difference from
its Cut Bank production.
However, International is now
completing a second large storage
tank at Cut Bank rather than move
Its oil through its line to storage
tanks at Sunburst, indicating that
Texas company expects to move its
rude via Great Northern to Regina
The tank now being erected was

California crude oil prices have
been upped 90 cents per barrel,
which put California on a parity
with the rest OF the country. Cali

on August 20, 1885. It was ad-
vanced up to 40 cents on Dec. 6,

CHOTEAU TEST
ENDED But
INc0HcLUSIvE

Completion of a water well
Il on Choteau structure, north OF
the town of ChOteau, SEX
i SWA 14-24N-5W, is reported
by Dan DrBmhelIer, who has
ordered the test abandoned at
depth of 243O.
A flow of sulphur water caused
the abandonment although there IS
some doubt whether the bit reached
the Madison lime where production
might be expected. The log shows
as follows:
2413-242O Buff colored lime.
242O4242S Fine grained limey
sand, showing sulfur water
242s-2427 Same, with bbls.
sulfur water per hour
2427-243O Same, with some in
crease in sulfur water.
Hole plugged and a
bandoned at 243O.
The most important contribution
of this well was establishment OF
the presence Of Cut Bank sand on
the west slope of the lower Sweet
grass Arch. There was 80 feet of
upper Cut Bank and eight feet of
lower Cut Bank sand, the presence
Of which was not heretofore known
in this district. The fact that this
well Checks LOO feet above sea
level on the top of the Ellis indi-
Gates that it was too high to get
Cut Bank production, since 1915
Is the highest oil producing con-
tour in Cut Bank field.
Observers say that a well on the
structure at an elevation OF
500 feet above sea level on the top
Of the Ellis might get commercial
oil production. There was a show
