continued during the past week
when 1t became known that Home

tracted for all the production Of
Cobb & Pardee, Independent OPP
orators
Home has been taking its crude
from Pondera field where only so
per cent OF it's requirements Is
available, according to Herman
Batter. manager. With dts new
Dubbs unit IN full operation for
the first time. the Home win re-
qulre more crude this year than ever
before. The Cut Bank crude IS an
ideal refinery stock for use in a
Dubbs unit but heretofore there was
none available to the local refinery.
PROBATION and refusal OF buyers to
make new pipeline connections left
Cobb & Pardee without a market
for their Morrison well south of
Cut Bank.

gotten into its stride During the
fall season last year, the plant was

week or 10 days
Whereas 1t offers deeper dralling
than the main Cut Bank field, the
Dunbar test is regarded as the best
opportunity FOR large production that
Cut Bank affords. The producing
horizon will be only 500 feet above
sea level whereas Cut Bank prouc-
ton ds coming from around 800
feet above sea level. No oil has
been found in northern Montana at
a point structurally as law as sea
level.
A labor contract is to be awarded
during the coming week. The well
was spudded in compliance with the
Indian department lease during the
winter months. All tools and equip
ment are on the ground, and a
speedy completion is expected.

IN
DRY CREEK IS
improved

News OF the exhaustion of water
in the Bowman well in the west
end OF Dry Greek oil field brought
renewed hopes of a western extern
sion of production. Water in this
well would seem to define the west
edge OF the pool, as the last edge
has already been determined.
The Bowman well was drilled by
Ohio oil Co to the Lakota sand
IN 1882. They cOred 4S feet OF
saturated sand and decided on cut-
ting one more core. when water
appeared. They thought the water
was coming from the Lakota. The
company spent a lot Of time and
money in an effort to shut off the
water but was unable to do so.
The pipe was perforated where It
passed through the Dakota sand,
with a view of producing 1t from
both the Dakota and Lakota. How
ever. it continued TO show water,
so II was plugged back to the Da-
kota sand with a lead plug and
capped.
Last summer the well was reopend
the lead plug drilled up and the
well rs now being produced from
the TAkota, with the perforatiOns
IN the pipe loaded off where It passes
through the Dakota sand. so It Is
possible that the water was found
somewhere above the Dakota, as
II hes not been showing water since
the Dakota has been shut off.

north OF the axis Of the anticllne

Daily average production ia

This resulted In a storage Of

PRESIDENT of the association, make his
recommendations
There was some discussion as to
whether the United Dry Forces should
openly indorse Statewide referen-
um on the liquor question and then
% out in a deliberate effort to win
victory for the drys, but no official
lction was taken on this question.
1t was definitely decided, however,
that the United Dry Forces would
vigorously oppose every wet" candi-
late for sheriff, judge, the legisla-
ure or other county offices, also that
they would seek to get a definite
commitment from as many candi-
lates as possible, with a view to sup
porting only those candidates whose
views conceded with those of the
United Drys.
1t is now generally known that one
ces were not able to get Statewide
liquor control law through the 1885
General Assembly was because Bur
cess had put most of the members on
"ecord before their election and had
card index file and statements from
most of them that they would not
vote for liquor control or the legal
sale of liquor. It is also generally
agreed that the 1885 General Assem-
bly, would have passed Statewide 10
cal option law permitting the various
counties to vote on liquor control,
but for the insistence of Burgess and
ais drys that if any election be held,
it must be Statewide. Indications
low are that Burgess and his bone
dry followers are planning to use the
same tactics with the 1887 legislature,
provided the candidates are wary
enough to fall into the trap the dry
forces are now setting for them.
