COAST SALES
SET RECORD,
SAYS review

PETROLEUM WORLD, in the
new 1887 edition of its annual
statistical review of the California
oil industry, anticipates a new high
for gasoline sales in the Pacific
Coast territory during 1887.
Reporting gasoline sales during
1885 at an all time high of over
2,225, 100000 gallons, an increase
Of 1870 over 1885. this western
authority in a thorough going analy-
sis of the industry, expects 1887
sales to show an increase of from
six to eight percent over 1885. In
spite of inclement weather which
retarded the rate of gain through
out practically the entire area dur
ing the early months of the year,
sales for the first five months were
ga higher than during the cores
ponding months of last year.
With a total of $50 pages, the
1887 Statistical Review is the larg-
est and most comprehensive yet pub
lished and presents complete data
of every branch of the oil industry.
OF particular interest to the in
weston are the detailed production,
refining, and marketing reports for
all major and the larger independent
companies.
In addition to the review articles,
contents include; A dry-hole record
covering twenty years of California
operations; a detailed history OF new
fields brought in during the last
year; an oil field data record, listing
over thirty two separate items OF
Information for every California
field: financial survey of California
companies; and a complete produc-
tion record compiled by years and
field. The volume is well illustrat-
ed with maps, graphs, charts, tables
and illustrations.

LIGHT WELLS
COMPLETED IN
TURNER VALLEY

Two recent compilations in Tur-
.ner Valley field, drilled by Brown
Brothers, do not appear to be very
large producers, although production
figures are withheld. Observers
say they will make no more than
400 barrels each, after acidization.
The field is prorated on a basis
of SIS per cent and the Davies-Roy-
alties No. 2, the largest we'll in the
field is still making around 1900
barrels under proration. It's initial
was 2645 barrels per day.
There are three wells drilling
below 400 feet In the lime and due
to complete in the next few days.
Five more are drilling in the lime,
two below the top of the lime and
rthe others setting pipe. Eight more
wells are due for completion during
the next 80 days.
Independent producers of Turner
Valley met with a representative
Of the Montana oil industry in
Calgary last week to discuss the
over-production situation. The
Canadians expressed every desire to
cooperate with Montana producers
to prevent price slashing and re-
sultant market chaos. They, too,
seek refinery construction to pro-
vide new outlets for Turner Valley
oil.

Mr.. o. 1. DeSchon, Editor

Great Falls, Montana.
My Dear DeSchon:
l read your editorials on gaso-
line consumption in Shelby with
considerable interest and consider
the situation so serious that drastic
eteps must be taken. In your edi-
the service stations in Shelby were
possibly to be picketed by citizens
of that city to ascertain who were
buying imported gasoline and other
oils. l believe that this would be
an excellent thing to do in all the
towns Of the state. In other words
TO show this octupus of the oil in
dustry that it does not dominate
the oil industry of Montana, and
that the population thereof is too
loyal, too fond of Montana and too
good citizens to patronize a concern
that ships gasoline and other pro-
ducts into this state and completes
with the service stations that are
selling only Montana-made gasoline
and other products. A committee
should be established in every town
of an reasonable size, the object
of which would be to impress upon
all of the inhabitants of the vicinity
the necessity of buying only Mon
tana-made gasoline and other pro-
ducts, as if they hope to have the
oil industry in this state prosper
and all of the various and numerous
people dependent thereon to con-
tinue to make a iiving-then this
course must be followed. This seems
to me to be only a reasonable re-
quest, and no more than fair and
right, that Montana people, as a
general rule, should buy only Mon
tana-made gasoline.
With kindest regards, I am,
Sincerely,
HARRY o. WILLARD,

This same shine told the drillers
at Devils Basin that Tarrant would
not get any OIL after nine biologists
had spotted the hole, and Tarrant
pulled out with sulphur water for
his pains. He also says they won't
get any oil at BrOadview They are
at 1900 feet and nothing for their
pains so far. He also says they
won't get any oil at Hardin, Mont.
and at over 1000 feet all they have
is artesian water and plenty of it.
He does not predict any gusher
at Laurel either. I happen to know
but does predict a commercial pro
Queer which is good enough for
all the biologists in that country
say there is no OH there.
You laugh at these predictions
but also watch them and see If he
has not called the turn on all OF
them correctly. This bird Is a good

your hair Drained reported would

Grafton should be given to comfort
able quarters for a maid, if the
family that lives in the home has
a servant or plans to have one in
the future.
When space is at a premium, a
very small room can, with care, be
made attractive. Built-in furni-
ture is particularly adaptable to a
room of this type. A bed may be
built in, with drawers for storage
underneath Bookcases, a desk,
and drop-leaf table can be built
in at little cost and will be a great
convenience.

cost of one-family homes built that
year was $4,317, according to the

cost of building is at about the
same level as in that year, in Rice'S
opinion. He said:
