A Landowner Who Supervises
Oil Operations On His Land

basis of s7M per cent to the permitee
or operator and 1914 per cent to the
government The days OF TX per cent
royalties for the permitee are probably
gone, except In case where immediate
proximity of production makes It pos
sfble for a permitee to turn an 80S5
lease.
There are several active permits in
Montana which have been kept alive and
where production has been developed,
leases have been issued and will be is
sued during the present year. With
very few EXCEPTIONS permits which do
not have production by January 1, 1899,
will be replaced by leases under which
the government receives the full 1914
per cent royalty.
Few royalty investors appreciated these
advantages just as few now appreciate
the work that the government is doing
on behalf Of the oil industry We have
read an address by r. A. Cattell, chief
engineer Of the petroleum and natural
gas division of the Bureau OF Mines,
delivered at the IPA meeting in which
he pointed out the work being done by
the bureau in advancing technical means
in exploration, production, transporta-
ton and refining.
incidentally, Mr. Catten pointed out
that uncertainties of production from
wildcat" drilling have been decreased
materially through progress in geology
and geophysics" In other words, the
hazards in the oil industry, which In
cludes royalties have been greatly de-
creased. He continued:
Research in petroleum. production en-
gineerdng has made 1t possible to deter
mine with reasonable certainty many of
the physical properties and behaviors of
oil and gas as they exist in natural re-
servOfrs, the approximate contents OF
these reservoirs, and many of their pro-
ducing characteristics. 1t can be ascer-
tanned, for example, approximately how
much natural energy is available in a
given reservoir for recovering hydrocar-
bon fluids. With this information as
a tool, methods are being developed and
applied in many fields, making it pos
sfble to recover larger quantities of fluid
from the reservoir with smaller dis
sipatdon OF natural reservoir energy"
MT. Cattell did not cite the instance.
but we have read in o. s. publication
how the bureau estimated the probable
recovery of oil from the Blossom sand
in the Cotton Valley field, Webster Parish
La. The bureau estimated a recovery OF
IA 100000 barrels for the field. The
field, now approximately exhausted. has
produced 1855, 600 barrels of oil from
the Blossom sand, showing that Uncle
Sam has really become a technical expert.
The benefits of modern technical
knowledge apply to the entire oil in
dustry of course. but we now realize the
advantage of having had Uncle Sam as

silver swirl and a large tail
poised in the air before slip

feet away and another silver
body shone in the setting sun
and the tail sank again. Tar

them!
A few of the spectators
gasped in establishment. Here
at this suspicious formal

the Keys are the best fishing

High School Addition
Need Is Seen

A new 100000 addition to the
Anacostia Junior High School was
urged as the most important single
improvement now needed in South
east Washington by Adelbert w. Lee,
president of the Randle Highlands
Citizens Association, at the meeting
Of the Fort Davis Citizens Associa-
ton last week.
The item was included in the 1910
budget estimates of the Board OF
Education.
Mr.. Lee said the school was so
overcrowded that it might have to
go on a double shift during the
spring term. He called upon the
District Commissioners to purchase
site for the addition at once. Fifty
thousand dollars has been appro-
priated for this purpose.
Mr.. Lee said other Southeast needs
include a fire truck company, new
equipment for No. 10 Engine Com
pany. a new school near Alabama
and Pennsylvania avenues Sc. or an
addition to the Randle Highlands
School, and Identification of Penn
sylvania avenue Sc. He also urged
naming the new Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. Bridge for John Philip Sousa,
the Marine Band leader.

Citizens Sponsor
HOUSING Survey

A housing survey to determine the

demned for replacement in accord
ance with the terms of the United
States Housing Act has been spon-
sored by the American University
Park Citizens Association. It was
the first action taken by civic
group asking that such survey be

Henry L. Colman, president OF the
association, said the project would be
municipality sponsored by the Dis
trict of Columbia Health DEPART

ing committee under the chairman
ship Of Mr.. Ihlder, according to in
formation received from the WASH
ington Housing Association. The
committee will be made up of several
municipal, Federal and civic agen-
cies.
The association stressed the survey
as necessary if information pertain
ing to the number of doubled-up
families, vacancies and the available
housing for families on all income
levels and knowledge Of the condi-
ton Of these dwellings Is to be OBJ

Police Station Site

Open discussion with District au-
thorities and neighboring civic
groups to determine the most ap-
propriate" location for No. 2 police
precinct station will constitute the
major business topic of the meeting
tomorrow of the Mid-City Citizens
Association.
According to President A. J. Dris-
coll. invitations to attend have been
extended to Maj. Ernest Brown,
Commissioner Hazen. Capt. J. A.
Sullivan of No. 2, Capt. j. E. Bobo
OF No l3, Bertram Wise, president of
the Upper Seventh Street Business
mems Association, and Mrs. Ella B
Thompson, president of the Logan
Thomas Circle Citizens Association.
AS Mr.. Driscoll points out, the as
sociation has gone on record advo-
eating a separate building for No.
2, now housed in the same structure
as No. l3 on U street between Ninth
and Tenth streets. The group has
previously asked that the sites of
either the Woman's Bureau on Fifth
street between M and N streets or
the Abbott School, Fifth street and
New York avenue, be used for the
purpose of erecting a new building
for second precinct headquarters.
Mid-City would then have a new
structure built for the Woman's Bu-
reau on the remaining site of the
TWO mentioned. "antiquated' condi-
tions of the present bureau housing
being scored.
Mr.. Driscoll states that any agree
able recommendation reached at
tomorrow's meeting will be presented
at the next scheduled budget hearing
on behalf of the association.
Standing committees will be ap-
pointed by Mr. Driscoll and reports
on pedestrian control and play
grounds will be rendered.

Playground Facilities
Object Of Campaign
In Pefworth
R. T. Houeh Heods Group
To Seek Support
For Pluns

A special committee on play
ground facilities to attempt to effect
coalition Of organizations In the
Petworth area has been appointed
by George w. Potter, president Of
the Petworth Citizens Association.
The committee will be headed by
r. T. Haugh.
The action came as result OF a
suggestion by Mrs. w. N. Streeter
president of the Barnard School
P. T. A. through Mauritz Cohen
Chairman of the Legislation Com
mittee of the school group.
Will Canvass Area.
The committee will canvass the
entire area of Petworth and attempt
to obtain the support Of all religious
educational and civic organizations
for the movement.
The opinion of the association is
that the facilities for keeping the
children out of the streets are now
insufficient. The object of the coali-
ton would be to form new crecrea-
ton centers and to improve existing
centers.
Schools and Fairgrounds now ex-
istent in the Petworth area include
Petworth School, Raymond School,
Barnard School, Roosevelt High
School, Mcfarland Junior High
School and Petworth Playground, as
yet undeveloped, between Ingraham
and Hamilton streets and Second
and Third streets NV.
Facilities Inadequate.
Raymond E. Gable, secretary Of
the association, said 1t was his
opinion that, for an area the size of
Petworth, recreational facilities for
the children are uncommonly made
quate.
1t is believed the action of the as
sociati was resultant of the high
traffic toll taken last summer among
the children.
The association previously had
favored the restriction of parking
in playground areas to give the
children greater chance for life.
The remaining members of the
Special Committee for Organization
are D. A. Spencer and Mrs. H. J..
Phelps.
