FLOW OF GAS
IN new NORTH
CUT BANK TEST

A flow of 2.5OO,OOO cubic feet
Of gas per day was encountered in
the Moulton sand in the Glacier
Observation-Disclosures Unit No. /, on
the north edge of the Cut Bank gas
field, this week. indicating that
there is a considerable gas pool in
this horizon on the north slope OF
the field. The well is being drilled
on down into the Sunlburst-Cut Bank
horizons. Location is in the center
of the east line of SEA NEH Is
36-5W. About five miles north
east is the Cobb-State well which
had a larger flow of gas in this
sand. Five miles west and slightly
south is the Cobb-Pardee-Stufft well
which likewise had a large flow
of gas In the Moulton sand.
Three other wells are drilling in
Cut Bank field, most important of
which is Santa-Rita-Tribal No. s,
c SEA NWk 16-35-6W, in the
Lander gusher pool. where an early
completion is expected. No infor-
nation has been given out regard
ing the progress Of the well since
it entered the Kootenai, although
II is known to have had the custom
airy flow of water at 24O0 feet and
casing was run at 2615. The hole

The long expected announcement of a
2,5O0-barrel refinery in Spokane, to use
Montana crude oil, was made in Spokane this
week by officials of Wasatch Oil Refining
company of Salt Lake City and Joseph
Drumheler of Spokane.
Construction is to start Immediately on
a site selected on the Great Northern right
of way north of Hillyard, close to the refin-
cry built years ago by R. K Neil It is ex-
pected that the plant will be ready for opera
alton by August-less than five months
hence
The plant will be built and operated by the
same Salt Lake capitalists as those who are
building the plant at Pocateo, Idaho, which
ant will use from 1000 to 1,5O0 barrels
per day of Cut Bank crude. Crude for that
plant is being furnished-by K. D. Pardee.

LOWER RATES
on GASOLINE
TO DAK0TAS

The newly organized Indepen-
dent Petroleum Traffic association
Of which Lon Crumley OF Shelby is
president scored its first important
success during the past week by
securing for north Montana re-
finers the same rate advantages as
those granted by the /. c. c. to
south Montana refiners in the ship
ment of refined products into the
Dakotas. These rates give Montana
refiners a chance to compete with
Wyoming and Group rates from
the Midcontinent in points in North
and South Dakota and while rates
are granted into Minnesota and Wis
consin, they have no effect since
they go into territory served by
gasoline pipeline from the Mid
continent.
The rate reductions TO go into ef-
feet Mar. "a will cover shipments OF
refined petroleum products from
Conrad, Great Falls. Cut Bank,
Shelby. Kevin, ONeil spur. Sun
burst and Sweet Grass, with these
points classed as an original group.
Illustrative of the new rates are
the following examples:
The rate from northern Montana
points affected by the rate reduc-
tion, to New Rockford, N. D., has
been 67c a hundred, as compared
with a Cody-Casper rate OF 69c and
a Tulsa rate OF csc, to the same
point. The reduced rate will enable
Montana refiners to put their pro-
ducts into New Rockford at sic
a hundred.
The rate to Willmar. Mimi. from
Tulsa has been 43c, from Casper
Cody 46c, and from northern Mon
tana Tic. The new rate from this
area will be 56c.
Heretofore, it has cost 66c a hun
dred to ship gasoline from northern
Montana points to Grand Forks,
n. D., as compared with a rate of
SIC from Tulsa and 66c from the
Cody-Casper area. The new rate
from northern Montana will be Sic
4 hundred. However, the Grand
Forks area is served out OF Mime
apolis. where a gasoline pipeline
delivers gasoline at for lower rates
han rail haulage.
New rates from northern Montana
% the Twin cities will be 58hc a
hundred. as compared to the present
ariff of 72c The rate of Superior.
Wis. is the same, and will receive
he same cut.
Throughout western North Da-
lota the rates from northern Mon
ana will either be cut to a point
ess than that now prevailing from
oklahoma and Wyoming refining
enters, or will be reduced to such
n extent that the minor difference
an be absorbed by Montana resin-
RS in competitive selling.

First. let us consider the charge
that this Committee is endeavoring
to stage a boycott against the ma
jor oil companies who are import
ing gasoline into Montana from
other states. Nothing could be
further from the truth than that
very charge. The truth of the mat
ter is that we have the most friend
ly feeling towards these major
companies, although we cannot let
friendship stand in the way of this
campaign for the development OF
Montana's oil industry. Nothing
would please the Committee more
than to have these major companies
move into Montana and assist wiun
the development of the industries
of our state.
This would be welcomed by every
good citizen of Montana, as 1t would
mean the construction of additional
modern refineries and the drilling
of many oil wells. This would
mean jobs for thousands Of our
Montana boys who are 80 much in
need Of profitable employment. IL
would increase the tax revenues
OF our state and materially increase
the population and wealth of Mon
tana. On the other hand, this Com
mite does vigorously oppose the
idea of having our own oil wells
shut in, or placed under the domina-
tion of control of any single COM
pany, and prorated down to the
while Montana Is being
used as a dumping ground for une
excess production from the oil fields
OF other states.

fair charge also denounce our farm
ers as boycotters merely because

A rate of 20 cents per hundred or about

The refinery will be a modern cracking

new REPLY
IN BATTLE
OFLAMYERS

Open charges that the bill of
exceptions filed by proponents of
proration in northern Montana was
intended to cause the governor to
displace certain members of the Oil
Conservation Board were voiced this
week in a reply filed by H. Cleve-
land Hall. attorney for opponents
of proration.
A 38-page reply to the 42-page ex-
ceptions was filed with the board
and with Governor Roy Ayers, but
is directed to the governor, saying:
"Since your Excellency is not
constituted, either by constitution
or by statute, a court of appeals,
faint aroma of suspicion fills the
air that the so-called exceptions are
not presented to you, as Governor
of this state, with the idea that you
have jurisdiction to review the evil
dence and the findings; but rather
as a thinly disguised attempt to
suggest that certain members of
the board should be removed from
office and others, more favorably
inclined to the suggestions of coun-
sci for proponents, substituted IN
their stead"
Gasoline Campaign
Replying to charges that three
members of the board had gone on
record previous to the start of the
hearing, opposing proration, the re-
ply alleges that every producer
must have a definite opinion for
or against proration and since four
members of the board must be oil
producers (under provisions of law
it is certain that four members will
be vitally interested in state pro-
ration.
In reply to an attack on the
value of the Montana-made gaso-
line campaign, the document quotes
the following figures:
In January, 1887 there were
refined in Montana 2,994,52O gal
Ions of gasoline.
In December, 1897, there was re-
fined in Montana 5,911,569 gallons |
IF gasoline.
In January, 1888, there was re-
tined in Montana 5,2S9,903 gallons
If gasoline.
Whether you call it boycott or
merely a determination to get out
md hump for Montana products,
he evidence is. as stated by the
BOARD, impressive"
Continuing replies TO various ex-
,eptions to findings, the document
itates:
Counsel for proponents appears

 He was born in Guatemala, edu- cated in a German military schoo and served as an officer in the German army. His career as ar artist, however, began in London 30 years ago. Ten years later he came to this country where he de- veloped his talent in writing and sketching. It was after he came to this country, too, that his marion cite troupe became so popular that it produced a revival of interest in marionetteS in America.
