THE NEW YEAR,
What wiH it bring?

tress crude will shut down tea
kettle refineries which have been
knitting the price structure.
With consumption equal to produc-
tfon and with stroage oil reduced to
an absolute minimum, the national
situation begets prosperous and hap
Ply New Year for the oil industry as
a whole.
But how about Montana
Will the price increase In the Mid
continued be followed by a price in
crease in Montana9
Recently the price Of gasoline was
raised in Montana. Does this fore
shadow an increase in the price of
crudei
With session of the legislature
coming up, win the oil industry face
a hostile legislature with no explana-
ton Of the increased price of gaso-
line?
These are questions that suggest
themselves and are not to be answer
ed by us. 1t rather looks as though
an increase in the price of crude is
anticipated. There was time when
the Oklahoma market determined the
price of gasoline in Montana, so the
price of Montana crude might go
down and the price of gasoline go up
on the same day. That is no longer
true for more than half of Montana S
gasoline is now Montana made.
This brings the necessity of explain
ing to the people why the price of
gasoline should go up, with no change
in the cost Of crude
On the other hand, were the price
of Midcontinent and Wyoming crude
go up and the Montana price remain
where it is, should there not be am
advantage to the Montana refiner that
viii make it possible for him to step
out and elinch this Montana market?
After all, wouldn't it be for the
best interests of the Montana prOduc-
er to forego raise In the price of
crude so that Montana refiners can
expand their markets for refined pro-
ducts to reach into the Dakotas on
the East and into eastern Washington
on the Vests
IF Montana crude prices were boost
ed up to point where gasoline con-
sumers could buy gasoline from the
Midcontinent more cheaply than gaso-
line made from Montana crude, would
Montana not lose Its present mar
kets9
In turn, does it not follow that if
the Montana market it is to be ex-
banded, that refiners must be given
an advantage with which to press
into new marketsY How can this adj
vantage be furnished other than thru
the price of crudef Who else than the

stanlafng idle for many years was
cleaned out and placed on the
pump. It has been producing some
oil ever since, although exact pro
duction is not stated. Under the
new Arrangement the DEVILS Basin
Development Co. will retire from
the field, but will retain royalty
interest.
Credit for bringing about the en-
trance of adequately financed ana
experienced oil operators In the
DEVILS Basin goes to C. F. Maris'
whose faith in the field remains
undfminished after many years dur
ing which he has devoted much OF
his time to maintaining leases and
keeping development work under
way. The new operation, which
promises speedy action when work
Is once started, will be watched
with no little interest throughout
the state.

producers can make this a highly
inviting field for the refinerY
This is recited to point out two
things: One is that an increase in
the price Of crude might be EXPECT
ED but there is some doubt whether
it is desirable at this time; secondly,
that Montana MUST expand it's mar
kets, sooner or later.
Production in Montana is today
greater than the capacity of Montana
refiners. The future prosperity Of the
Montana oil industry depends upon
ADDITIONAL REFINING CAPAC-
ITY. That calls for a greater gaso-
line market. There is market in
the state Of Montana for all the crude
Montana fields can produce WHEN
EVER MONTANA REFINERS CAN
SELL GASOLINE AT A LOWER
PRICE THAN THE COST OF PRO
DUCING AND SHIPPING MIDCON-'i
TINENT. CALIFORNIA AN WY0M-
ING GASOLINE INTO MONTANA.
Montana imported some 44,O00,0 900
gallons of gasoline last year. That
market BELONGS to Montana pro-
ducers and refiners.
It follows that there is a market for
all the oil Montana can produce. There
viii be a greater market created.
Montana gasoline is going to invade
Spokane to relieve the difficult Cali
fornia situation; likewise Montana
gasoline is going into the Dakotas
and possibly into Minneapolis, in the
not distant future.
Nationally and locally, it is appar-
ent that the person who has some oil
to sell during the next few years is
going have a mraket If he can buy
the oil in underground storage for a
price LOW enough, he can surely sell
it at a price high enough to make
greater profit than is possible in any
other line of investment OF which we
know.
Very likely this winter will mark
the end of the fortme-making pos
sibilities in North Montana oil fields.
Today we can buy royalties in pro-
ducing fields for prices we ordinarily
pay for wildcat royalties. A little
later we will be restricted in these
fields by high prices propOrtionate to
other prices attending a period Of
initiation
The outlook for the year 1887 is
certainly roseate 1t does not look
ike an Unstable "boom" year. 1t
looks like a year of solid building
during which the Montana oil industry
viii emerge into a long period OF
stable prosperity.
Our conclusion is that we can wish
one another a HAPPY AND PROS
Porous NEW YEAR with an ex-
pectation that it win be fulfilled.

1--WE WISH YOU A HAPPY AND
PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR"

eve WISH YOU A HAPPY AND
PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR"
So say we to members of the Mon
tana oil industry and our other friends.
Again we stop to determine whether
this wish is possible of accomplishment.
Nationally, we find oil storage at
the lowest point in decade: with
only a months supply available to
refiners. Ordinarily they keep so
or 9O-day supply of crude in storage.
We find automobiles of the nation
consuming more gasoline per day than
at any time before in history. The
gain has been steady throughout the
past year. 1t shows no sign of de-
crease. Enthusiastically the demand in
1887 will be greater than ever before
in history This means that 100000
barrels of production per day will
not be adequate. The month of De-
tober was the. record-breaker for all
time, with total production of $780,
200 barrels per day. Yet refiners con-
tinued to show on storage oil through
out the summer.
Recently, Continental Oil company
announced a price increase OF IL
cents per barrel. Humble and others
followed Immediately. All buyers will
have to fall into line, for the reason
that there is no excess of crude.
AS evidence of this statement is the
StandoIind contract for the produc-
ton of Phillips Petroleum, agreeing
to take 10000 barrels per day until
November, 1888. This cares for all
the Phillips Petroleum production.
In explaining its action, Standolind
announced that it had signed the two
year contract because of failure OF
wildcat wells to get new reserves,
creating a shortage, in the face OF
great demands.
Operators in the Midcontinent have
during the past year conducted one
of the greatest prospecting campaigns
in a decade They have found some
additional oil but not enough to
equal for the decline Of flush produc-
ton in older fields While East Texas
and Oklahoma City are pro-rated,
the purpose of PROBATION is chiefly
to perpetuate the life Of these fields.
Were they opened up they would
quickly 60 to water They could pro-
duce much more for a few months,
without pro-ration, but undeniably
their ultimate production would be
much less. So these fields, including
Rodessa, the new menace, are not
a menace at all.
The price of gasoline has already
stiffened throughout the United
States. With the coming of higher
crude prices the country may be sure,
of a more stable gasoline market for
higher prices and the lack ct dis

There will be about 100 women at
each camp. All have the status of
N. Y. A. workers, earning their sub
sistence and S. month. The pro-
gram calls for establishment of q
maximum of so such camps.
The camps carry on such work as
making hospital supplies. transcription
OF books into Braille, making and re-

DIR. BRUNDACE
 DIED THURSDAY

New York, March 13.-(UP)--Dr. Albert Harrison Brundage, 74-year- old toxicologist and public health authority, died yesterday in the Gen. tral Islip State hospital less than two months after he was evicted from his home. Dr. Brundage a we'll known educator, was forced from his home at Woodhaven, N. r., Jan. % when @ mortgage was foreclosed. He refused to sell his fine collection of thousands of medical books to forestall the foreclosure. The library was placed in storage and Dr. Brun- dage went first to Queens General hospital and later to Bellevue hos- pital.
 The elderly toxicologist, who held a long list of honorary degrees, had been in poor health for several years. He had suffered from exposure to the poisons he had studied, and never fully recovered from burns received in heroic rescue of students at the University of Nashville fire. His financial difiiculties, according to his friends, were the result of devotion to science. He had spent large sums for research.

Those present from this city in- cluded William H. Harris, of Lin- coin House association; Miss Kath- leen Crowley, juvenile court proba- tion officer, Miss Edna Maloney and Miss Agnes Fitzpatrick of the dio- cesan bureau, and Mrs. Marget Ver- don, superintendent of the public welfare department.
 Religious Issue
 Members of the association, both Protestant and Catholic, expressed the fear that the religious issue, if it is allowed to enter appointments, will h a rm probationary work throughout Connecticut. The meet ing went on record in favor of re- questing that when the Social Well fare Council prepares application blanks to be used by those asking to take examinations for probation ap- pointment it leave out the question of religious affiliation. Judge Harney quoted letter he had received from Judge Edward l.. Dennis of the Windham county court in which Judge Dennis said he felt he could not appoint a young Catholic wom- Sn to the probation officer post since he already had Catholic man as probation officer. Opinion of the as- sociation members was to the effect that a persons religion should not be regarded as part of his qualifica- tions.

 Every Bridge Stood Up
 Superintendent Fleming reported that every bridge in Waterbury, proper, withstood the full force of the heavy river volume yesterday. No bridge was affected. final tests made today disclosed and policemen on duty throughout yesterday guard ing the structures were back on regular beats this morning.
 The Naugatuck and Mad rivers receded very noticeably during the night. The Golf Lots, in the West End, where two men were saved from death from drowning yester- day, were free of water today. The lots presented a very soggy and muddy tract today.
 City Is Given Praise
 Officials of the American Pin Company in Waterville, which closed yesterday because of the overflow of the Naugatuck river, praised the city this morning for its foresight in installing the new storm water drainage system in Thomaston ave- nue, Waterville. Two years ago, it was stated, had such a flood oc- cured the factories all along the thoroughfare would have suffered The storm water sewers carried off surface water yesterday in adequate fashion, 1t was pointed out this morning, keeping Thomaston ave- nue open at all times through the flood. As result the loss to the American Pin Company in stock and machinery damage was at a mini- mum, 1t was pointed out. "The loss was practically nothing" stated w. P. Ferguson of the American Pin Company division of the Scovill Company today.
 Connecticut Lines Not Bad
 Charles J. Allen of the Connecti- Light and Power Company reported this morning that the lines in the Waterbury division had suffered lit- tie or nothing as a result of the storm. One pole came down on River street as the Mad river ragged over its bounds. Another one came down on Watertown avenue. Both mishaps were quickly repaired.
 The Southern New England Tele- phone Company reported no inter ruptions at all, despite the many flooded streets. The concerns weather-tight underground con- duits withstood the dampness.
 Must Resurface Bank Street
 Superintendent Fleming state to- day that Bank street, from Meadow street to the Brooklyn Bridge, will have to be re-surfaced this year as a result of yesterdays flood. River street along the Mad river is also in a bad condition, he said. North Riverside street withstood the force of the flood yesterday. although in- undated under several feet of water, he said.
 While yesterday it appeared that the damage from the storm would run high into the thousands. the estimate was considerably lowered by factory and public officials to- day.
 At noon today the Naugatuck and Mad rivers were approximately eleven feet below their respective levels at the same time yesterday.
 Snow began falling in squally fashion this morning at i0:30. o'clock. Weather reports today in- dicated colder temperatures tonight and tomorrow with possible snow or rain.

 Inquest Hampered
 Coroner Monzani declared that the withholding of the letter is hamper ing his inquest into the two deaths. He is reported to have copy of the letter which Willner sent to his counsel but wants the original.
