MINING Men MEET IN BUTTE FRIDAY
BRITlSH-AIvIERICAN PRORATES
CUT BANK WELLS 50 PERCENT

Effective July 9, British American Oil
Company announced resumption of prora-
ton in Cut Bank oil field in Northern
Montana, to thereafter take so per cent of
its division order oil and so per cent of its
own production, and cutting off Montana
Power Gas company entirely. 1t continues
to take all contract oil.
Last month, British-American cut the
price of Cut Bank crude Is cents to $1.35
per barrel with the announcement that it
would take 100 per cent of the oil from its
It had been pro-rating on the
basis of so per cent previous to that time.
The reason for the curtailmnet was
given by ]. w. Johnson, Montana represen-
Eative of British-American and Toronto
Pipeline company. The British-American
has a contract to buy the production of the
newly completed Turner Valley Royalties
we'll in western Turner Valley, he said.
This we'll is flowing 878 barrels per day
md increasing at the rate of about one and
'ne-half barrels per day. with the possibility
hat it will increase to 1000 barrels per day
when it is produced through tubing.
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1936-07-11

British-American took about 100000
barrels of Montana oil last year 1t is
expected that the Turner Valley well will
take away about 100000 barrels of the
annual Montana market This oil will be
topped in the B. A. plant at Calgary and the
lower ends will be shipped down to Coutts
for cracking. It is 43 gravity crude as
compared with 30 gravity crude in Cut Bank.
1--WE are very sorry that this had to
happen at this time" said Johnson. "The
Turner Valley production comes at a time
when the drouth is curtailing gasoline con-
sumption in Canada, cutting down our re-
finery requirements. Actually, we do not
need the so per cent of division order oil we
are taking. We are continuing to take the
so per cent merely to help the Cut Bank
producers. For that reason we are curtail-
ing Our own production so per cent, along
with the others. and eliminating all pur-
chases from Montana Power Gas Co., Our
own production plus the contract oil would
be ample to care for all British American
needs"

CAR PARKING is EASY
WHEN DONE BY SYSTEM.

The really simple task Of worrning
a car into certain gap in the row of
cars lining the curb is something that
troubles many motorists, inluding some
that have years of road driving to
their credit says w. r. Bamford, serv-
ice director Of the Dodge division of
Chrysler Corporation
According to Bamford, there are
drivers who spend unreasonable time
and effort trying to work their cars
into parking place of ample size, and
others who wear their own tempers
and other car drivers Tenders and
bumpers in vain attempts to wedge a
car into a space plainly too small for
the purpose. For the benefit Of drivers
none too sure of their parking ability.
Bamford has reduced the effort to a
sure-fire system
If the available parking spacaHis
three feet longer than your car, you
can make it, if you 20 about It as fol-
lows, he says. First, drive your car
parallel to the forward parked car and
lie feet to the side of it, until the rear
end of your car is even with the rear
hub cap of the forward parked car.
Second. with the transmission in re :
verse, start the car rolling back while
turning the front wheels as far as pos
sible toward the curb, until your own
seat is even with the rear of the for
ward parked car.
Third, straighten the wheels Of your
car and come back for a distance of
about two feet.
Now with the front wheels of YOUR
car as far as possible away from the
curb, slow the motion of your car by
applying the brakes until you feel the
bumpers touch.
Fourth, put the transmission into
first and engage the clutch. AS soon
as the car starts to move, turn the
front wheels away from the curb and
let the car 60 ahead until it touches
the car ahead. Put the Transmission
in reverse, engage the clutch and back
up about Is inches.
IF these directions are followed. the
maneuver will bring your car to the
center of the parking space and about
six inches from the curb-and neither
your own nor the adjoining cars fem
ders will be nicked or scraped in the
process.
