The future of this area was prog
nosticated by the United States
Geological Survey in 1922 in a re-
port written by Gail F. Moulton and
R. S. Knappen. A location made at
that time by Moulton was last year
drilled by Tarrant, bringing in the
Mosser pool. Confirmation of that
much OF the U. S. G. s. geology
brings to the forefront the further
findings Of the government geolo-
gists.
Effect OF Fault
The structural feature that Is
probably most Favorable in the
region is thought to be the part of
the plunging anticlinal nose north
west Of the Fromberg fault, which
cuts It Off. Moulton wrote. 1.-The
effect OF the fault is thought to
reach the lowest Of the known oil
horizons in the Madison limestone
and to result in both an adequate
checking Of the migration OF the
oil up the dip and an interruption
in the circulation of artesian waters

sufficient to permit the accumu-
lation of oil and gas.
Points Uncertainty
1.-THE favorable features OF this
faulted antichne are its large area
for the accumulation of oil, its good
apparent closure. the large number
of possible oil sands and the pres
ence Of faults, which may have in
duced the accumulation OF oil by
permitting the escape OF gas and so
causing movement of both gas and
oil towards the faults. The adj
verse features are the lack of GER
tainty that the fault resulted in
blocking the monoclinal dip, and the
presence of water in the test of
Sec. 20. Neither of these adverse
features appears to be definitely
serious.

CHINOOK IS
BREAKING ICY
WEATHER GRIP

After the longest. hardest
stretch of winter weather in the
history of oil development in north
ern Montana. a Chinook wind broke
the icy grip on Wednesday OF this
week and as this is being written
the snow is beginning to disappear.
A Chinook wind is warm wind
from the southwest that swiftly
bares the Montana prairies after
winter SHOWS. Whereas New EngIan nj
and other states have snowfall that
lasts all winter, Montana seldom
has enough snow in the plains areas
to justify ownership of sleds. IN
"a hours time all snow may dis
appear from Montana prairies, be-
fore the warm Chinook wind.

FIVE TRIBES GET
HUNDRED MILLION
IN OIL ROYAL TIES

II the Blackfeet Indians OF Mon
tana are to be restored to their
place as the richest of American
Indians, they and their children
have some prosperous days ahead.
The five Civilized Tribes of Okla
homa are now receiving $3,O0Ob0OO
a year from their royalties. Since
the Cherokees received their first
money from oil in the early days of
Chelsea-Nowata field, approximately
100000, 900 has been paid by the
petroleum industry to restricted
members of the Five Tribes. This
fact is not generality known, since
the Usage indians are generally
known as the richest in the world.
There is this difference between
Usage and Five Civilized Tribe oil
revenues That received from Usage
lands goes into the Tribal fund, ap-
portioned equally among owners OF
headlights; that received from lands
of the Five Tribes goes to the in
dividual landowners, with the re-
suit that in some few instances there
are exceedingly wealthy Indians,
while others, having no oil lands,
receive none of the payments.

LIGHT STORAGE
WILL MARK new
REFINING YEAR

If all the stored oil in Montana
were refinery stock-which it is
not-there would be only little
more than a 6O-day supply OF crude
to care for the average market de-
mandi coming from Montana refiners
and exports to Canada.
These figures are revealed by
annual compilations of the Oil Con-
servation Board. There were on
the first day of January 1,03O,505
barrels of stored oil of which only
,32O, 406 belonged to Montana re-
timers representing a supply that
would run the plants for A days
were all present production sud-
denly shut off.
The average daily market for
Montana crude during 1885 was
15,9O7 barrels per day of which
1852 barrels went to Montana re-
fineries and S,745 barrels to Canada.
1t is claimed by producers that re-
finers are going into the spring
and summer months with relatively
little storage oil, apparently de-
pending on current runs to care for
their needs.
The local situation corresponds
with the national situation, there
being but a 53-day supply Of crude
in storage in the nation. Refiners
are a little worried, in the face of
an expected record consumption of
motor fuel this year, combined with
the changing posted field prices for
crudes, threats of strikes and the
possibility of European war taking
crude out of the American refinery !
market They do not consider |
present storage oil a safe margin. -

RATES

TO THE WEST

Rail rates which open wes-
tern Washington and northern
Idaho gasoline markets to
Montana refiners have been an
nOunced by the Great Northern
railway company, marking the
most important advancement I'm
the Montana petroleum indus
try I'm recent years.
Cut Bank refiners now have
rate into Spokane OF As cents
per cwt.
BY way of comparison, the
rate from Casper 10 Great Falls
at present Is 80 cents per cwt.
The new rate from Kelvin and
Sunburst to Spokane Is As cents as
compared with a former rate of So
cents per cwt. This means that re-
finers in all these north Montana
cities can move their products in
to Spokane. and intermediate
points.
Intra-state rates to points on the
Great Northern west OF Cut Bank
have been established. also Cut Bank
Is given the advantage OF its clos
err proximity to western points in
the new rates. AS an example, the
new rate from Cut Bank to White
fish is 81 II cents per cwt. The rate
from Kelvin and Sunburst is 80
cents per cwt
Since Cut Bank has made no i'm
portant shipments Of refined pro-
duets. II had no rate structure with

termediate points, with a slight

over KeYin and Sunburst. The rate
10 Great Falls is 1871 cents from
all four refining points, Conrad.
Kelvin. Sunburst and Cut Bank.
Since Casper refiners compete
with Montana refiners in Great
Falls and points north, having a
higher rate than the Kevin-to -Spo-
Kane rate, It is believed that the
lew interstate rate westward will
rave an immediate effect in eupan-
lion OF Montana markets.

PROSPERITY FOR OIL

Col. Ernest o. Thompson, chair
man of the Texas Railroad Commits
sion, predicted 1887 would ''bring
the greatest prosperity to the oil
business that America ever has
seen"
In support Of his forecast he said
that 'oil reserves above ground
have been reduced $4,000, 900 bbls.
and it Is generally conceded not
more than so days supply remains.
In my opinion 1887 will show a Z
per cent increase over 1885, which
was a bilhon-barrel otl-producing
year"

Fewer Students Than Last Year;

gro students of the Wayne Avenue
School, Lockland went on strike
Friday because Of what their leaders
members Of Lockland Negro
Citizens Club--tefmed tsaninst and
unfair conditions at the school
Herman Roberts, chairman Of the
club and a candidate for the Lock
land School Board said the children
were picketing the school with ban
ners and were passing out handbills.
E. S. Roam, school principal,
charged members Of the club stood
at the school doors and refused to
allow the children to enter the
building. Not one pupil was in
school, he said.
Although Mr.. Roberts charged the
school is overcrowded because Negro
ninth grade students have been sent
to that school this year, Mr.. Roam
said that even with the 15 new stu
dents Iii the ninth grade there were
70 fewer students than there were
last year.
Believed Upshos Of Court Case
School officials said they believe
the strike is an upshot of a recent
case in Common Pleas Court, in
which a Negro girl filed sut for q
writ Of mandamus to compel the
Iockland School Board to allow her
TO enter Loclsland High School. The
court ruled in favor Of the School
Board.
Mr.. Roberts said the ninth-grade
students have been compelled TO use
the basement as home economics
room Yecause of lack Of space, and
that the school auditorium has been
turned into a classroom. Glasses
have been doubled up he said
charging that this eonfuses children
and prevents them from learing pro-
perly.
Mr.. Roam said the basement has
been used for home economics ane
manual training for many years
and that doubling Of grades is COM
mon in nearly all schools.

TUSKEGEE WHEREFORE GAME
I'M CHICAGO SAT. CALLED OFF

CHICAGO (ANP) Chicago's an
nual grid "classic" between the
Tuskegee and Wilberforce football
teams, scheduled to be held Saturday,
October 1G, at Soldiers Field, was
called off Friday after a conference
between |. S. Lane Of the Ohio
School and Capt. r. S. Darnaby of
Tuskegee.
Blame for cancelling the game,
which ordinarily draws many visi-
tors from neighboring cities and
states, is placed on unsuccessful pro-
motiogal attempts. Iii previous years,
the two schools had handled all pro-
motional work, with varying degrees
OF success, but this year Edwin b.
Jourdain, ENanston aldermen and
former neWspaperman, arranged with
DR.. Ormonde Walker, new president
OF Wilberforce, to handle the event.
Although Tuskegee is understood to
have objected strenuously, Dr. Walk
won out.
The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1937-10-15

However, no publicity appeared
in either the daily or weekly press.
When reservations came in at the
Grand hotel for game accommoda-
tions, Manager William P HARRISON
attempted to contact Jourdain and
SO did Tuskegee. Messages went un-
answered. Finally Capt. Darnaby
came to Chicago Thursday, held the
conference, and after both schools
decided week was too short u time
for them to take the promotion in
hand and insure sizeable crowd,
the event was postponed.
Although much publicity attend
