 Past and Present
(By E. W. MiIIerI

Back in '9S and '99 when the Yu- kon boasted of a fleet of river pack cts second to none, there we-e bea- con lights to guide the boats from St. Michaels to the mouth of the Yu- kon and crossing signals to mark had crossings.
 Then came the Government Rail road to Fairbanks and the passing of the river feet Signal warnings and safety lights telegraph and telephone lines were established along the route the railroad traversed-aII for the safety of those travelling and working on the railroad.
 As father time rolled on, there came a new Pioneer in transporta- tiOn-the airplane.
 But where are the beacon lights and radio bcacons along the main travelled routes? How are most of the landing fields marked and lighted up? Generally only by the use of oil lanterns.
 There have been numerous emer- gency night flights, many over a dis tance of 500 miles, and only lantern to enable the pilot to land and refueI and take of for another such landing which is required at some lonely cabin where a sick person lies wait ing for assistance.
 What help are our pioneer pilots getting with the weather stations so few and far apart? But thanks to the amateur radio stations who are ever on the watch and ready to give helping hand. Their only compen- sation is the satisfaction they get out of feeling they have done the right thing by their fellow man.
 Until such time that the main air way lines at least, are lighted prop eFly and equipped with radio sta tions. all we can wish OUT pioneer fiiers who have hearts as big as an OK and nerves as strong as armo- plate is Happy Landings"

WARM WINTER CAUSES
 POOR CATH OF FUR

Warmweather, overfows on the rive-, and unusually deep snows were the causes of the poor fur catch on the Yukon this. winter, acording to A. G. Sample and c. ". Sample, father and son, who returned by plane to Fairbanks recently from Stevens Village.
 Winter Comparatively Mild
 The winter has been comparatively mild there, young Sample said, and just below the village, and at anoth CT point six miles down stream, the Yukon River has not frozen over this winter.
 Native trappers lost many of their traps in the overfows, and heavy snows hampered every kind of set
 There were approximately 75 peo- pie in the village and its hinterland this winter.

Valley. The Calgary market has thus
long since been lost to Montana produc-
ers. Turner Valley crude is now going
to Regina and Moose Jaw. However,
Turner Valley crude is far more expen-
sive oil than Montana crude and the rail
rates from Calgary are so much higher
that it is not economically possible for
Canadian refiners in sask atchewan to use
the higher-priced crude
It has been suggested that a tariff wall
may be raised to force Canadian refiners
to use the more expensive crude. This
would have to be a dominion measure.
The importation of crude into Saskatche-
wan is such a minor matter, as cOmpar-
ed with imports in eastern provinces and
in British Columbia as to make 1t highly
improbable that the dominion govern
ment will force higher gasoline prices
onto the entire dominion merely to force
the use of a few thousand barrels of
crude in Saskatchewan refineries.
This situation might ordinarily be
expected to bring price reductions in
Montana oil fields. There was time
when the price of Montana crude and
Montana gasoline was not related How
ever, people of Montana have become 80
conscious of the Importance of buying
Mosltana-made gasoline to foster the pros

towns that it will be difficult to cut crude
prices without disturbing the gasoline
price structure. Refiners will not be
anxious to disturb the refined products
market by drastic crude price cuts, in
view of the national situation.
AIT the same time, Kelvin producers
have gone steadily ahead this year with
the plan of developing enough new crude
to Justify another refinery. They are
looking forward to the day when their
crude will have a permanent domestic
market-the natural market at or near
the Montana oil fields which should be
the most advantageous market in the
country, in the light of a rs " -cent-per-
gallon gasoline price.
This is a year when all signs fail and
all rules are reversed in the oil industry
Those who view with alarm have had
to blush so frequently that the alarmist
businesssis about the poorest part of the
oil industry. It creates the most adj
vantageous buyers market since 1882
for those who realize that despite any
local situation crude oil is daily becom-
ing more and more valuable

REFINERY FOR

Ohio Oil company, which formerly
confined itself solely to production
of crude, is now branching out into
THE refining industry wherever 1t
is unable to profitably produce its
own crude for sale to others.
Ohio has started construction Of
a refinery at Lowell, Wyo., near the
Byron highway junction. A pipeline
from the Byron field has been laid
and two storage tanks are being
built at the farm. A Burlington
railway spur will be laid from the
main line to the refinery.
In Montana the Ohio has prOduc-
ton it cannot sell in Dry Greek
field but as yet has made no move
to enter the refining industry in
Montana. Montana producers are
hopeful that Ohio's Lnco products
will be introduced in Montana.

June, 2,17S wells, is 80 per cent above
competitions for a year ago.
With the old established fields produc-
ing at full capacity, under modern meth
DDS of PROBATION lit is apparent that not
enough new fields are being brought in
to offset the tremendous drain of crude
of more than three and a half million
barrels per day.
Commenting on the situation, Andrew
M. Rowley, former editor of the Oil
Gas Journal, writing in Petroleum Roy
alties, says:
As a result, the greatest exploratory
campaign in the history of the petroleum
industry is in full swing. Areas which
were regarded as a joke, as far as oil
production is concerned. few years ago,
are being exploited now in a big way.
Geophysical crews are covering territory
which oil men until very recently would
not even consider. One Nfid-Continent
oil man has leased three tracts i'm Florida,
each covering $4,000 acres and he has
employed seismOgraph crews who now are
working these tracts. Florida will get
a big play.
Thereafter he summarizes the situation
as follows:

is this: Increasing state allowable tenn
pOrarily delays warranted price increases.
Record breaking consumption, running
an estimated 12 per cent above the high
est previous record, win take care of this
output from proven fields. Consequently
there is no danger of a reduction in
prices. But oil operators and state au-
thOrities must realize adequate crude oil
reserves are necessary to protect the i'm
vestment of thirteen billion dollars i'm the
petroleum industry. The small prOduc-
er always has been the pioneer i'm discov--
ing new fields. Large companies let the

The explanation is not difficult
Truck registrations are today TWENTY
FIVE PER CENT greater than in 1929.
That means that there are 100000
trucks travelling the nations highways,
burning up greater amounts OF oil than
ever before in auto trucking history 1t
is still growing-hke aviation.
Automobile manufacturers continue to
produce record-breaking numbers of new
cars while thousands of Americans are
running two and three automobiles per
family. This tendency is growing The
greater the number of cars, the greater
the use of gasoline.
What is more important is the gain in
exports of crude and refined products.
Percentage of gain in exports is TWICE
that of domestic outlets. The American
oil industry is regaining it's foreign
trade. Not the least of this business is
with the Orient, using California crude.
California producer who visited us
recently told us that California can see
no market problems in the future, owing
to the growing trade with the Orient. This
trade in the past has not been great;
confined largely to kerosene for lamps.
Now the gasoline business is growing by
leaps and bounds, as the Orient is being
the greatest potential market in the
world
We are in receipt this week OF the
June statistics prepared by the United
States Bureau of Mines. During that
month the domestic demand for motor
fuel was 48,5SO, 900 barrels or percent
above the average of a year ago. Elk
ports were 3,085, 600 barrels, comparing
with 2,291 900 barrels in June, 1885.
Stocks of gasoline, which failed to show
the normal decline in May, decreased
sharply in June, when 1924 600 bar
rels was withdrawn from finished and
unfinished stocks.
According to data of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, the price index for
petroleum products continued its upward
trend in June, the index for that month
being 61.5 compared with COS in May
and ST. in June, 1886.
Meantime, drilling continues at rapid
pace throughout the country. In East
Texas there were ITS competitions as
compared with 1853 compilations in May:
nearly as many wells in one month as
are drilled in Montana in a year. The
national total for oil wells completed in
