ESTIMATES
OF RESERVES
RIDICULOUS

Growing resentment against ap-
parent efforts to belittle the Mon
tan oil industry was voiced this
week by Montana producers regar-
ding the figures on reserves issued
recently by Governor Marland of
Oklahoma.
This tabulation showed reserves
Of 8O,OOO,OOO barrels in Montana,
which figure is below the most con-
servative estimates of petroleum en-
gineers on Cut Bank oil field a
lone. 1t is apparent, operators say
that the estimate was not based on
any survey but was merely figure
adopted to prove some point. prov
ing the revised adage that Figures
don't lie but liars will figure"
L. G. f. Bignell, production en-
gineer editor of the oil and Gas
journal OF Tulsa, visited Cut Bank
field two years ago and after in
all leading petroleum en-
gineers and major operators and
studying sand, porosity and other
factors. published estimated reserves
of 28O.00O,0O0 barrels for Cut Bank
alone. Cut Bank now has a proven
area OF approximately $4,000 acres.
A recovery of 5000 per barrels per
acre would exceed the Oil & Gas

TWO OUTSIDE
WELLS NEAR
TOP OF Lin :

Two wells which afford posi-
biIity of east and north extensions,
respectively, to the producing area
Of Kcvin-Sunburst field, are today
nearing the Madison limestone
where mere showing of oil is all
that is needed.
Cassidy Phoenix Mutual test in the
Midway area in NWA NWA be-
tween the Kelvin high gravity pool
and Cut Bank oil field, is ready
to run 7-inch casing at 22S5. hav-
ing drilled ahead from 2105 dur
ing the week. This well apparently
crossed a fault, missing the lower
Kootenai sand series. It was ex-
pected to show gas in the Sunburst
and Cut Bank sands, having had
good showings in upper sand meas
ures. Instead, it had no sand what
ever. 1t is now in the Black lime,
ready to set pipe before penetrating
the lime. Presence of a fault or
lime fissure in this field frequently
means large production with the
use of modern acidization methods

u. CONTROL.
OF INDUSTRY
IS IPA TOPIC

TUISA-Question of pipeline di-
vorcement, the split-up of integral
ed companies, extension of govern
mental regulation and several other
topics on which there is today lively
discussion and considerable differ
ence of opinion, will be studied by
a 36-man committee to be appoint
ed by President Roeser and report
will be made at special meeting
Of the Independent Petroleum Assn.
of America.
This was decided by the associa-
ton in general meeting. Special
meeting will be held in December
or at such other time as the presi-
dent and the executive committee
decide.
Thus, for the time, action was
postponed on several controversial
subjects which had been submitted
to the resolutions committee for ac-
ton. Several speakers urged the
wisdom of full study of the subjects.
Special meeting will give the entire
association opportunity to decide
whether the association is to take
positive stand on any of them.
other questions to be studied in
clude embargo on imports, complete
shutdown of oil fields-this has
been suggested as an emergency
measure by some-and the obtain
ing of legal authority for establish
ment of an umpire to make alloca-
tions of production between states
Such other questions as members
desire may be submitted to the COM
mittee for study.
All officers of the association were
reelected, including President Roes-
er, executive Vice-President Harold
B. Fell, General Counsel Russell b.
Brown, Executive Manager C. E.
Buchner and Field Manager Charles
Van Week.
Karl Krowley, Fit Worth, for
mer solicitor of the post office de-
partment and 1888 candidate for |
Governor of Texas, told the meeting |
that large companies have carried !
on a war of determination" against |
Independent refineries and are now |
starting on the Independent produc- |
ers. One of the weapons of such de- |
struction was proration, he said. He |
advocated pipeline enforcement as
one corrective measure, urged oil |
men to cooperate with the OMa-
honey Investigating Committee by
supplying full information. He was
not a programmed speaker.

Two Hundred Barrel
Production Indicates
important New Poo

Nose Wagner, trustee for himself and a group of
soCaes this week completed what appears be of the
best wells of the year in Cut Bank field in outside 10
cation south Of the Big Bend pool
Not only the well important in that it puts veteran
superintendent and into the role of producer but it
indicates important pool in the south end of the
field with the possibility OF larger average wells than any
other part Of the field.

GRADE CROSSING
DRIVE IS BEGUN
A. A. A. Is Spurred to Action by
Many Complaints Coming
From Motorists,

Receipt Of complaints from motor
lists throughout the country today
prompted the American Automobile
Association to launch drive toward
securing immediate improvement of
visibility conditions at railroad grade
crossings.
The motor club has appealed to
railroad executives. highway commits
sions and highway engineers and at
the same time has urged motorists
to report to headquarters here in
stances of locations where conditions
are particularly bad.
Although the number of crossings
has been reduced by approximately
5000 during the past five years.
Thomas P. Henry, president of the A.
A. A.. said in a statement from De-
troit, the curve of grade crossing acci-
dents has climbed steadily upward
during that period
In 1888 there were 1926 crossing
accidents. causing ISL deaths and
1897 injuries, he pointed out. Last
year there were 4,4s9 accidents. 1875
deaths and 5,136 injuries. This rep
resents an increase Of 1877 per cent
In accidents, "a per cent in fatalities
and $50 per cent in casualties.
A majority Of the crashes occurred
at crossings with inadequate warning
signals and IS per cent Of them oc-
Cured where the crossings we're marked
only with stationary devices that do
not warn of q train approach or were
otherwise protected.

$4O7 IS STOLEN
FROM CAFETERIA
Filling Station Is Held Up.
Taxicab Driver Also Is
Bandit Victim.

Theft Of more than $4o0 from the
cashiers cage at the Pomona Cafe,
1907 E street NV, was among the
robbery cases being investigated to-
day by police.
Miss Elsie Smith, 1901 Massachu-
sets avenue NV. cashier at the
restaurant, told police 1887 of the
money was contained in two envelopes
and the remainder, $40 check, was
with it.
She said she suspected two men
who had fingered around the cage last
night after they came in and asked
to have bill changed.
For the second time in 10 days the
Lord Baltimore filling station at Flori-
day avenue and Champlain street
NV, was held up today. Jerry Sui
livan, 1918 Perry street NE, man
ager, reported he was held up by two
young men as he opened for business
this morning and was forced to turn
over $40. One Of the men had a rusty
revolver. he said. In the first hold
up $50 was taken.

the head with gun, Mr.. Morris
said. the men drove his machine
to Fortieth street and Reservoir road
NV. where they made him get out.
He said he hailed a passing motorist
and chased the pair as far as the
Virginia side of Chain Bridge, but
abandoned the pursuit.
Harry R. Leathers, 476 G street

to police yesterday after q colored
