We have regarded the high gravity
d as the most valuable area in Kelvin
nburst field and possibly in northern
ntana. Here are some of the reasons:
l. It produces some of the finest re-
finery stock DIN Montana: 38 to 40
gravity oil, containing no sulphur
and paraffin base. It has a high
gasoline yield by simple distillation
but with cracking will make from
20 to 80 per cent of motor fuel
Containing no sulphur it is easy
on refinery equipment and the
gasoline does not require any treat
ment to remove corrosives such as
result from other crudes.
?. The oil is similar in quality to that
found at Cut Bank but in this pool
1t lis found at from 1900 to 1000
feet, as compared with $500 to
5000 feet at Cut Bank. Wells in
the RimrocK pool can be drilled
for half the cost of Cut Bank wells,
thereby making this operation
highly profitable to operators.
Initial production in this pool av-
erages higher than initial produc-
ton DIN either Kevin-Sunburst prop
err or Cut Bank.
Because of the gravity of the oil
and it's superior qualities from the
viewpoint of the refiner. we know
positively that in due course of
time this oil will COMMAND A
PREMIUM over the posted price
OF Kevin-Sunburst field, else will
command a higher price on grav-
ity basis. In the Midcontinent this
crude would be worth from $1.26
to $1.30 per barrel, as compared
with 81 "a to $1.26 for Cut Bank
and s1.08 to $11O for Kevin-Sun-
burst crude. Today it is actually
worth from IS to 20 cents more
per barrel than the average Kelvin
Sunburst crude.
Because of the relatively shallow
drilling, coupled with the fact that
1T Is new, undrained territory where
rock pressures have not been dis
turibed by older wells, this area
should be highly profitable for OBJ
orators and that in turn means rap
id development and efficient opera
ton with modern methods. We
mean to say that with modern
methods, operators will unquestion-
ably recover more barrels per ac-
re than has been recovered from the
older portions of Kevin-Sunburst
field, where operators (even in
Guiding the Standard companies)
had no appreciation of the value
of gas conservation.

CALMLY RIDING THE
RAGING DEEP
BY Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

When the sudden gale hit the
aakiff in which Jesus and His discip-
les were crossing the Lake of Gal
lilee, the disciples became fright
ened, but Jesus continued to calm
1y sleep.
What if the gale had struck the
frail craft? What if she were
dangerously filing? Jesus contin-
uel to calmly sleep. His sleep was
not that of indifference or of ex-
haustion, but of one who knew how
to repose in an utter trust in the
care of God.
How often have been impress
ed with the repose Of vessel as it
lies tied to the dock, its sides and
masts mirrored in the rejecting
water. Although the scars receiv-
ed during heavy weather are plain
ly evident, yet there is now nc
suggestion of struggle at sea. The
vessel is resting in a sweet tran
guilty.
Oh that we too might learn how
to relax from the tensions, the
cares, the frets and the worries OF
life and to know how to lie, as dc
vessels at the dock, in restful re-
pose!
Often when / have thrown my
self down at night, tired and ex-
hausted, my imagination has gone
out to an old fashioned square rig

slow heaving swell of a vast ex-
panse of glistening water. And as

rose and fell with the swell of the
sea, / somehow felt myself enter.

came as relaxed as that old vesse
seemed to be and I felt myself up
buoyed upon the serene bosom o.

raging deep, reposed in the swee

EFFORT TO CELEBRATE
4TH OF JULY

The effort being made in Phila-
delphia, to resuscitate the old pa
triotic Fourth of July observance,
such as we used to lave before the
vicil war, and which in a large
measure has gone into disuse since,
is a step in the right direction.
The effort set on foot by Col. Nc
Clure seems to have struck a 81
multaneous cord in a number of
other places which intend to have
celebrations in which the senti-
ments of patriotism are inculcated.
No town on the Peninsula previous
to the war did it SO regularly and
thoroughly each recurring anniver-
sary as Smyrna, and the reasons
that hold good for celebrating the
deeds and daring of our forefath-
ers in achieving our independence
in former times and in other places
now, will apply with equal force to
us. Nothing is so dear to an in
dividual or to a nation as liberty,
and the man who wives his life for
his country is in the highest sense
a hero. But there is duty as
high as achieving liberty-that OF
maintaining it. This comes OF
virtue, and obedience to the will OF
the people as expressed in laws

The little boy was not only the

the favorite of many, and the par
ents were not alone in grieving for
him who had, though young, won

SECRETARY BAYARD
FISHERIES FIGHT

The Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun has the fol-
lowing in reference to Mr.. Bayard
and the fisheries trouble: 1T is un-
derstood on undoubted authority
that the prospects of an early set
tlement of the fisheries trouble are
very bright. For some months
Secretary Bayard has been bestow-
ing close attention upon this sub
ject, and has been in constant cor
respondence with Lord Salisbury.
The two high officials, while main
tanning for their respective gov
ernments every position considered
due to their rights and dignity,
have, nevertheless, each evinced a
spirit of courtesy and concession
honorable alike to them and their
governments. Secretary Bayard
has shown particular tact, delicacy
and diplomatic ability in his con-
duct of the negotiations, and if, as
there seems to be no doubt, he sue
ceeds in an amicable and satisfac-
tory adjustment as what has so
long looked as if inevitably leading
to serious consequences, it will re-
feet great credit upon the Depart
ment of State. The settlement of
the fisheries matters without re-
course to the retaliation act of
Congress is especially to be COM
mended, for the attempt to enforce
such an act would, it is quite sure,
have been productive of more en-
barrasment to us than to Canada.
All the points at issue have now
been. settled satisfactorily with one
exception, and this, it is confident
ly hoped, will be settled in a COM
paratively short time. The point
upon Secretary Bayard is now
resting is that American fishing
vessels shall be permitted to touch
at Canadian Ports, with the priv
ileges of shipping. crews and pur-
chasing bait, and indeed any other
purpose, but not to fish within the
three-mile limit. Lord Salisbury SO
far has only conceded the right to
put in for wood, water, supplies
and repairs. Probably there will
be some compromise on these
points. In the meantime it is un-
derstood that during this season
American vessels have met with
comparatively friendly treatment.
