BIG .IHE Plan
Is MAKING PROGRESS

Satisfactory progress is reported
by John w. Schmidt of Anoka,
Mimi, in preparations for secur-
ing a federal loan to build a Mon
tana-Tw1n cities natural gas pipe
line. Mr.. Schmidt was in Great
Falls this week during the prora-
tion hearing. He states that the re-
gents Of the University OF MINI esota
have appointed a committee to
study control of iron ore in Nor
thern Minnesota and fuel costs
necessary TO concentrate low grade
ore. A member of this board is
Frank w. Murphy of Wheaton.
MINI. who has been associated
with the movement to get natural
gas. He states that millions Of
dollars can be realized from
the low grade ore for the people
Of Minnesota. which ore Is now lay
ing idle in the northern part Of the
state, II natural gas can be used
as q fuel. MIR. Schmidt fs going to

make no mistake. The public is in
the mood for such movement and
will buy Montana-made gasoline
not as a matter of patriotism but
because 1t is equal 10 or superior

Globe Refining Company Is
Reported Closing Deal For
Refinery Using Montana Oil

Well founded rumors reached Great Falls
this week that Globe Oil & Refining Co.
plans to build refinery to use north Mon
tana crude, the plant to be located either in
Shelby or possibly North Dakota.
The Journal was unable to get confirma-
ton or denial of the rumors from I. O..
OShaughnessy, president, who is now at
Madison, Wise, as one of the defendants in
the Sherman act prosecution against major
oil operators.
Globe has no properties in Montana at
the present time but has distribution facilities
in the Dakotas The Globe, with three dis
tinct organizations, one in Illinois, one in
Oklahoma and the third in Kansas, markets
2O6OOO,OOO gallons of gasoline annually.

The meeting was presided over by
w. M. Fulton who told the produc-
ers, refiners and marketers present
that during the year 1886 there
were imported 50y562,913 gallons
of gasoline, which represents 5,319
barrels of crude oil per day-an
amount which would solve the prob
lens of the north Montana fields,
were the imports to be replaced
with Montana-made gasoline. In the
first nine months of 1887, he said,
36,826,679 gallons of gasoline have
been imported. He said that $1S4, :
SOS was lost to the state in direct
taxes which would have resulted
from production, refining and mar
keting of Montana crude in place
of imported oil which pays taxes
to build up institutions OF other
states.
I'm the past. he said, I'VE OPP
orators have been content to sell
our oil TO the refiners and then for
get It. We howled when there were
low prices and no market, but we
did nothing about it. We now real
ize that we must do something for
ourselves. II we will go out to our
friends and neighbours and ask them
to use Montana-made gasoline we
win help ourselves by increasing our
crude market. We will find that
other taxpayers are glad to support
an industry that VIII increase tax
revenues through present establish
ed channels.
81 am sure that If we will but
exert our Influence we can achieve
results beyond our expectations. An
intelligent campaign, carried sys-
from county to county,
will achieve big results just as we
have achived big results in ToOle
county. If the people OF Montana
find out what brands are Montana
made and realize the value of tine
industry to the state, there wah
be a market for every baErel OF the |
trifling little bit of production we
have in all our Montana oil fields. /

new GASSER
IS RATED At
Ten MILLION

A flow of 100000 cubic fee
of gas per day has been developed
in the A. B. CoIbb-State No. vel
on the East Nose of Cut Bank oil
and gas field, the production com.
ing from 20-fOot sand identified
as the Moulton sand. The Moulton
sand is present throughout the Cut
Bank gas field and is the first OF
three principal sands in the basal
Kootenai formation.
This is the largest gas Wen ever
completed in this horizon and will
doubtless be completed as a COM
mercial gas well, while another test
win he drilled to test the lower
sands in which oil is expected, ac-
cording to A. B. Cobb, who Is shut
ting down the operation until spring.
The sand was found at 2570
feet and continued to $3.50, the bot
tom OF the hole being 1882. Upper
sands also had showings of gas in
horizons where surrounding wells
had no gas and in some instances
had water. The Cobb well is about
40 feet higher, structurally, than
the jacobson discovery we'll on
North Cut Bank, drilled by L. B.
O'NedI. The jacobson well flowed
over the top of the derrick when 1t
penetrated the Cut Bank sand but
when drilled deeper it developed
water. A north offset, across
couIee, was a water well. Accord
ingly, operators were seeking a To-
cation slightly higher than THE
jacobson. The Cobb we'll is re-
garded as accurately located with
regard to structure, although on
separate ''nose" or fold
Location of the Cobb-State well
is credited to Gail Moulton, former
chief geologist for Montana Power
Gas Co., who is now with Ralph
Davis, Inc, of New York City. Mr..
Moulton worked out this high"
with core drill tests and the Cobb
we'll is located on a lease which
Glacier Production Co., successor to
Montana Power, turned over TO
Cobb, to secure the drilling of this
test. This well proves up extensive
leases adjacent chiefly on the south |
for Glacier Production.
NO other we'll in Cut Bank field |
has shown as much gas in upper !
sands as this one and that factor |
with the accurately estaib-
lished structural condition, gives
promise of large production in the
lower sands. The only fear express
sed il THAT the well Is too high
for oil and may pro-
luce gas in the lower sands. The !
next we'll, Cobb states, may be
irilled slightly lower on structure.

YOUNG BARBER'S
 DEATH MOURNED
Danny" Gerardi Enjoyed Acquaintances With
 Prominent Citizens

Funeral services will be held to- morrow morning for the late Daniel Gerardi, 32, one of Waterbury's best known barbers, who died We'd
 nesday in St. Raphael's hospital
 New Haven, following @ brief ill., ness. He was associated in business with his brother, William V. Ger ardi, in the Brown building for the past several years. Both formerly conducted Hill's barber shop, one of the oldest tonsorial parlors in the city and which was located for
 many years in the basement of the old Brown building In Exchange Place.
 Despite his youthfulness Danny Gerardi was regarded as one of the city's veteran master barbers. He was c skilled worker and had Q large personal clientele and his effi- ciency. He impressed everyone by his quiet disposition and his sin cerity. When he became i'll his con- dition became @ matter of concern to his many friends. His untimely unexpected demise shocked all.
 The deceased was Q member of one of the best known and most highly respected Italian families in Waterbury. The Gerardi family has resided in the north end section of Waterbury for the past 30 years and more. They have been residents of Summer street for that period.
 Danny" derardi was born here April g, 1905, the son of MT. and Mrs. Francesca Gerardi and attend- cd the local public schools. The barbe: profession interested him at an early age and on completion of his apprenticeship he worked in several well known shops before be- coming associated with his brother in the former Hills establishment. The two young men taking over that well known landmark not only the patronage of some of the city's foremost citizens, but as time passed, added many more to their list of patrons. Their friendliness, their courteous serv- ices at all times offers an explana- ton of their uscceSs. The passing of Danny will be widely mourned.
 The deceased was a member ot the Master Barbers' Association and the Avigilianese Society. He Is sur vived by his wife, Mrs. Margaret
