MAY REQUIRE
PIPELINES TO

Possibility that the Montana rail-

may be called upon to require pipe
line common carriers In north Mon

by producers for storage was sug-
gested this week when Governor
Roy q. Ayers requested members
of the commission to attend the
hearing Monday of the Oil Con-
servation Board. In Great Falls.
Under the law, common carriers
are required to store oil for 80
days without charge.
Thereafter they may charge u
cents per barrel per month. storage

nois Pipeline company has sold its
storage to Ohio oil company which
has three $4,000 barrel tanks which

Governor Ayers believes that
where some producers are taking
100 per cent OF the oil their wells
will make. the other producers
who are without a market should
be allowed to take their share OF
the oil out of the ground. This
would involve storing the oil of
those who have no market until
such time as they could sell It.

PROBATION HEARING ON MONDAY
BUTTE GROUP
PURCHASING
kelvin LEASE

Butte capitalists identified with
w. E. Pinkney are reported to have
bought the W. C. Mcknight lease
in Section 19-35-2W. in Kevin-Sun-
burst field, taking over the control
ling interest held by Mcknight.
lPinkney was associated with
Mcknight in the development OF
this 200 acre lease on which there
are now four producing wells. There
was recently completed on this
lease a south offset to the big we'll
drilled by w. e. Rice on the Lar
son farm. The Seabrook well Is
reported making around 65 barrels
per day.
The exact amount of tine consider
alton was not announced but it is
said to have been on a basis OF
$4,000. 1t is "B" lease from
the government on a part OF the
Seabrook permit. It carries a slid
ing scale royalty, starting at IL II
per cent, to the government. The
entire 200 acres is considered prov
en- for production and is expected to
produce not less than 100000 bar
rels of oil, petroleum engineers
estimate.
Mcknight retains the adjoining
Gunderson lease OF 80 acres on
which he has three producing wells.
The SeaIbrook lease Is said to be one
OF the best equipped properties in
the field.
A. ]. Finlen, Jr., secretary
treasurer of the newly organized
Neptune Oil & GAS Co., gave the
following announcement of the deal:
Ann undivided one-third interest
in this property was owned by w.
e. Pinkney and has been disposed |
of to the newly formed Montana
corporation, Neptune Oil & Gas Co.
The outstanding two-bhirds interest
was owned by w. c. Mcknight and |
Ethel Mcknight and is being ac-
uuired by the corporation.

4 Announcement by The Texas COM
pany OF plans TO assign new allow
ables in Kevin-Sunburst field. that
Texaco might pump It's wells 100
per cent, brought a storm OF pro-
test from Independent operators
during the week and both propo-
nents and opponents If proraaiOn
we're using the Texaao company plan
as a reason to support their con-
tention. Opponents OF proration
contended that this move was coer-
cion on the part Of The Texas COM
pany and proponents OF proration
contented that this move Is the be-
ginning of a scheme to starve out
the little producers, unless state
supervised ratable taking is forced
upon all buyers OF oil.
One fact is evident: that Gov
ernor Roy Ayers hopes to secure
some positive result from the hear
ing, although members of the COM
mission see no Likelihood of unanni-
nifty among producers on any one
proposal. There is fear on the
part OF some producers that df state
proration Is adopted, it will forever
bind producers and curb develop
ment to a point where slow strangu-
lation will follow for the little
fellow" Others contend that until
a definite plan of proration is pro-
posed and adopted by a majority OF
the producers, II will be dangerous
for producers to subscribe TO any
ATTRACT "proratiOn." These questions
will probably find no Qualification in
the hearing, since the board Is not
proration and no defin-
ite plan has been outlined that ade-
quately solves the problem OF oil
prices nor limits the life OF pro-
ration.
Several producers are working on
refinery projects but none has been
definitely consummated. Those
who have a prospect for sale of all
their oil to one of these proposed
plants are opposed to any plan of
ratable taking
Independent refiners for the most
part are opposed to proration. These
-efiners who have their own produc-
don contend that they have made

The railroad commission will con-
ider the advisabihty OF compelling
