TWO WELLS
COMPLETED
IN CUT BANK

Despite 2O-beIOw zero weather
and attendant billiards., two wells
were completed In Cut Bank field
this week, rejecting the hardness
of the Norse-iike race that has
been developed in the north Mon

yet been swabbed, 1t is considered a
good average producer for the dds

look so good. 1t is the milestone

ton which carries most of the oil.
They continued into Ellis shale

After the shots the fluid rose about

making around S5 barrels.

effect SUBSTANTIAL increase IN the
received by the producers OF other
feeling of strong resentment among
the Independent oil producers OF
the United States and especially in
the Mid-Continent area.
at has long been the contention
of the Independent Petroleum AS
sociation of America that the price
paid for crude oil should be one
that would allow the 5000 pump
ing wells in the United States to
operate on a fair margin of profit
in the face of increasing costs. This
price should also cover the cost Of
modern methods of flooding and
representing old pools in order to
obtain the maximum yield-all of
which, of course, is in the public
interest.
1.-THE producers Of crude oil should
also enjoy a price that would put
them on a parity with the income
received by the producers of other
We can not see any
reason why crude oil should sell
at SO per cent of the price that
allows 1t to compete with any other
known fuel.
sit has long been the contention
of the independents in the industry
that a minimum of $1.6O a barrel
should be paid for crude of SO

INCREASE CRUDE OIL PRICES
STATE
REFINERY IN
TOOLE COUNTY

A bill is being formulated In
Helena, at the instigatiOn OF Kew
in-Sunburst oil producers and 9th.
or ToOIe county residents, prOvid.
ing for the appropriation Of $780,.
O0O with which to build a state-Own.
cd oil refinery in TOOIe county, pos
sibIy at Shelby.
The state has already an apprO-
priatlon Of 100000 for construc-
ton of a refinery but this sum was
found inadequate to build a plant
that will manufacture quality motor
fuel The present plan calls for a
cracking plant with capacity suffi-
cient to are for all production from
state leases.
The proposed measure has the en-
dorsement of many smaller produc-
ers in Kevin-Sunburst who have
been without a market or with only
a partial market for their crude for
several years past. These 4ndepend-
nets have enlisted the services of
Louis P. Donovan, we'll known Shell
by attorney, in drafting the meas
re.
Opposed TO the measure are other
Independents who object in prin-
ciple to the state invading private
enterprise, even though there Is an
urgent need for further refining ia
cilities in Northern Montana
Refiners who might be expected
to be actively opposed to the plan
are inclined to be neutral.
Il will not oppose it," said
local refiner THE best thing that
could happen for the oil industry
is for the state TO go into the re-
filming business 1t will quickly learn
that the refining business is not the
bed of roses and rolling profits that
it is generally believed to be. The
appreciation of our problems by
state officials will be one OF our
most important assets in the future
of the industry OF course, 1t is i'm
portant that the measure shall be
50 drafted that the taxpayers of
Montana shall not be called upon
to make up deficits"
One producer. more radical in
his views in opposition to the plan,
declared it a nefareous plot of Ger
tain refineTs to break the refinery
market and cut the price of crude
to starve out the Independents He
believes that an increased market OF
2 1000 barrels, to supply the state
refinery, would result in a cut in
the price of crude That view is not |
generally shared but the majority |
Of the independent producers decry |
any plan of getting the state into
with private enterprise !

BENTONV1LLE. Ark, July g.
Louise Thaden, 1886 Bendix Trophy
winner, may seek new aviation laurels
over dry land, but she will not at
tempt transoceanic hop such as
that which sent her friend, Amelia
Earhart, and Frederick j. Noonan
into the South Pacific.
I'm sissy" Mrs. Thaden said at
her home here. Il never have flown
over water and don't intend to.
just don't like the idea. I may enter
the Bendix race again this Fall and
I certainly expect to continue flying
until get too old to crawl into a
cockpit"
Discussing the Earhart disaster,
Mrs. Thaden said: Personally, be-
lieve she is gone"
Il don't place much confidence in
those reports from amateur radio op-
orators that they heard from the
plane" she explained. They have
been down long enough for Noonan
to have definitely established their
position. If they could communicate
by radio he would have given their
exact position.
Amelia had wanted to fly around
the world for years. She had told me
little about her plans and was very
enthusiastic about the flight. AS for
