Three Million Dollars
For Arizona
Continued from page one)


under authority Of which the Gila
Project is being constructed, pro-
yides for the irrigation of Federal
lands with the waters of the Colo
rado River. and Section Eight of
that Act requires that any such ir-
rigation project shall be subject to
the Colorado River Compact.
Since the Gila Project is thus al
ready controlled by the Compact
| saw no reason to object to a mere
restatement of that fact The Gila
Project is not an Arizona project.
but a Federal Project, constructed
with Federal funds for the irriga-
tion of Federal lands. Nothing car
prevent such a project from being
subject to Federal law, nor can
such a project jeoparize the rights
of Arizona or any of tn clipper
Basin States.
The appropriation of $1,25O,O00
thus passed the Senate and was
sent to a conference to adjust the
differences between the two
Houses. The Conference Com
mittee, of which | was Chairman,
recommended that the House of
Representatives approve the item
for the Gila Project, but when it
was carried back to the House it
was rejected in that Body by vote
OF 123 to 191 nays.
In the Senate | again insisted on
the Gila Project appropriation, and
requested further conference with
the House. A final meeting was
held, and | became convinced th1t
the only chance of securing favor
able action by the House lay in
reducing the amount of the ap
preparation to $700, 900 When the
Olla HTOJecC Was again CdheH CO CnS
House of Representative it was
attacked by Mr. Taber of New
York, the ranking Republican on
the House Committee on Approprii-
tions, and by other Republican
Congressman as an entering wedge
for the adoption of project for
the reclamation of 100000 acres of
arid land in Arizona at an ultimate
cost of $SO,OOO,O0O Nothwithstand-
ing these violent protests the ap-
preparation of $7OO,OOO was approx
ed by vote of 100 to 147, a margin
Of 13 votes.

Now that majority of the legally qualified voters of
this district have rejected the proposed bond issue of $3
900 build addition to the fine grade school building
have it behooves every parent having children attend
ing the local grade school to interest himself herself in
the immediate problem of sanitary school facilities
to be made available in short time possible, the
grade school will open September 18th.
1t is unthnkable that any citizen of Coolidge will
tolerate the condition that existed during the last term of
school, when average of 700 small boys and girls
crowded into class intended to accommodate $50 chill
dren This paper reliably informed that the school board
has the to make special levy and obtain sufficient
funds quickly for the construction of class bung
allows that would relieve the existing conditions
That is what every parent every teacher and every
student wants and entitled to- The school board will
receive the full support of all concerned if they ahead
with plan that will provide adequate grade school
facilities now, not next year.

wait until the center of population be definitely

Waller TEST
NEARING TOP
OF CUT BANK

The next few days viii definitely
tell the story of one Of two wildcat
wells drilling between Pondera OIL
field and Waller, northwest Of the
town OF Conrad, while a third we'll
in the area was marked off the
lists during the past week.
Model Oils Standardization No. j,
NV corner 12-2sN-6W. is nearing
the Cut Bank sand with last re-
ported depth OF 1910 feet. It is
fighting caving shales, working in
1O-inch hole and has cemented
all OF the Kootenai which was pick
ed up at 231O. They are now out
of the red beds and looking for
the yellow marker. There Is little
Sunburst sand in this area and the
horizon may have been passed by
the bit.
Kirk-KeIogg No. l well, Sc NV 4
NEH 31-2SN-4W, northwest Of Pom
dera, has fished out lost tools and
Is now preparing to acidize through
the casing. The hole showed con-
siderable oil and a nitro glycerin
shot was used to break up the for
nation before actdizing.
The third wildcat was the Cor
don Campbell test on Bull Head
structure, northeast of Waller, In
NV NEA NWA 12-3ON-4W. This
well was drilled to 25S5 and then
abandoned. Casing was pulled dur
ing the past week.

the Parkersbung Rig G. Reel and
started to learn tank strapping. He
left the meat business behind but the
name Butch has always stayed
with him. He progressed from a tank
builder to ownership of his own
business, representing Columbian
tanks in this district, and having his
own yard. He watched many small
operators rise from humble begin
nings to financial affluence, also
he observed and learned every detail
of oil production methods, so de-
cided to risk the earnings of his
business in one well.
Lady Luck. he found, was "at
home" He found the top of the
Madison lime at 1900. The instant
the drill broke through, he pulled
out. After allowing the well to
stand for several hours he had per-
haps a quart of oil in the bottom.
He ran tubing and employed the
Big West acid crew to give it 500
gallons Of hydrochloric acid. The
acid was allowed to stand on the
formation, under pressure for sew
en- hours. Then he opened the valve,
at II o'clock at night. Instead OF
flowing, as might be expected by
initiated the we'll sucked in air.
The acid had been effective, dis
placing the lime and causing an ac-
tual vacuum so that the inflowing
air current howled like a tornado.
That was at II o'clock at night. The
following morning he ran rods. find
ing the oil standing within IT'S feet
Of the top of the hole.
It started pumping at the rate
of 1055 barrels per hour. It stead
lily increased so that at the and Of a
24-hour test, from 10 to 10 the
next morning it actually put. 264I
barrels of oil in the tank. On the
25th hour 1t guaged IA barrels dur
ing the Commute period. 1t is 26.9
gravity crude and shows no water.
1t will take a week of pumping
to definitely establish the calibre
Of the well, but 1t Is certain that
this we'll will provide Perron with
an income that win keep him a.
unused as well as worried about
income taxes, since it will earn him
between 500 and 5000 per day for
a long time to come.

found gas at 304 feet which he
says had a pressure of 10 pounds.
He drilled three more gas wells and
then estimated reserves of 10000
600 cubic feet. The gas has BTU
of SIS, as compared with 100
BTU gas in Montana, and contains
1928 per cent methane, 81 per cent
hydrogen and rs per cent nitrogen.
Then he started a we'll with s.
inch hole, ending up with a 4-inch
hole when he struck oil. He says
that the oil Is coming from the
Dakota sands. below "a four-foot
lime cap
He reports 16 feet Of quartz
which made the digging difficult
but so far had not struck any gran
lite LEDGE He will move three
quarters of a mile south for the
next we'll, starting a Is II Inch
hole, he says.
Minnesota's surface formation is
chiefly pre-cambrian in which the
presence of oil is ordinarily thought
impossible. A well drilled near the
Twin Cities recently reported "oiI"
but Montana oil men who visited 1t
said the dark muddy fluid was not
oil.
Traverse county is located at the
tri-state corner of North Dakota,
South Dakota and Minnesota, and is
200 miles west and north of Mime
apolis. The discovery Of any oil, no
matter what the quantity, at this
point would precipitate a tremend-
Gus drilling campaign across the en-
tire breadth OF the Dakotas. The
Journal has been unable to get fur
Their verification of the strike but
hopes to have an authentic report
by the time of the next edition.
