POSTS PRICE
IN 2 FIELDS

Producers Refining company this
week posted crude oil prices in
both Kevin-Sunburst and Cut Bank
oil fields, equal TO highest
prices paid by International Re
filming Co. and other leading buyers.
These prices are:
Kevin-Sunburst 80 cents per bbl..
effective Sept. IL.
Cut Bank, $1.10 per bbl., effec-
tive Sept "a.
Announcement of the postings
was made by James w. Johnson,
president of Producers Refining COM
pany, which is supplying crude for
the Socony-Vacuum unit of the
Glacier Production company re-
finery at Cut Bank. Members Of
the group are delivering oil at the
rate of 80, 900 barrels monthly at
the present time, the refinery hav-
ing started operation in the last
week in September.

Beardslee's Swears No. 10 we'll

DISTRESS OIL
IS ABSORBED
BY SKINNER

The last remaining sore spot''
in the north Montana crude oil
market-that of the Border oil
field-was cleaned up this week
with the announcement that the
distress crude storage oil has been
absorbed by the new refining plant
lat Chinook, recently taken over by
"a group OF Border, Kelvin and Cut
Bank producers.
Nepstad, Haugen and associates,
who constructed the Chinook plant
last spring, sold out to the new
group, known as Fred Bouck and
associates, when they were unable
TO provide enough crude to care
for their other commitments and
keep the refinery operating. The
Chinook plant. in charge of Mark
Vrooman, Is now running $50 bar
rels per day. Ten thousand bar
rels OF storage oil Of Alberta De-
yelopment company have already
been run and oil is now being
taken from Kelvin and Cut Bank to
maintain the runs at $50 barrels
per day.
The Border field was left with
absolutely no market, save for the
field topping plant of Hannah Por-
ter company, after the loss of the
Canadian market. The production
Of other producers in that field con-
stituted the only distress oil in
north Montana.
The Chinook plan is a rebuilt
skinner, moved from Kalispell.

ture gasoline and fuel oil, all of
which is absorbed in the territory
close to Chinook, Blaine county.

Producer
Is Largest Completed In
East Pool In Many Years

The largest well in several
years in the famous East pool
dictrict Of Kevin-Sunburst field
was completed this week by I'm
perial-Craig Oil company in new
territory on the H. Cause farm.
In an area where wells ordin-
arilly have to be acidized into
production, this one had 1,450
feet of oil in the hole, with no
water, and it pumped 35 barrels
per day, natural, before it was
treated with 500 gallons Of hy-
drochloric acid. A production
test is now in progress.
The we'll was one OF the greatest
surprises OF the year and particu-
larry surprising to the drilling crew
Working only "daylightR" the crew
had been pounding away on an
exceedingly hard shell near the ex-
pected lime contact and when quit
ting time came they noticed that
the bit seemed to drop through the
hard formation. but they proceeded
to pull out the drilling string to
shut down for the night. A puff
Of gas followed the tools out OF
the hole and It was noted that a
little oil was dripping off the bit.
The crew thought nothing of #,
hung up the tools on the wrench
and went home.
The following morning they ran
the bailer to see what had hap
pened and were astonished to have
the bailer impact a column OF
fluid 176 feet below the surface.
They pulled out a baiIer full OF
pure pipeline oil, then discovering
that they had unknowingly drilled
IN the biggest we'll of recent years
in the east pool.

only a slight showing, and acid

To Vote in Papa|
Election First Time
Plus Extended Interval
Between Death and
Cardinals Session
BY the Associated Press.

VATICAN CITY. Feb. 1O.-Amer-
lean cardinals as a group will take
part in the election of the next Pope
for the first time in the history of
the Catholic Church.
This is consequence of the &C
ton of Pope Plus XI, who decreed
that the time elapsing after the
death of the Pope must be mini
mum of Is days, with three days of
grace. or a maximum of 18 days
before the conclave to choose his
successor begins.
The late James Cardinal Gibbons
of Baltimore took part in the elec-
ton of Plus X, successor to Leo
XIII, solely because he left Balti-
more for Rome during Leo's illness.
The prolongation of the interval
between the Pontiff's death and the
conclave is the result of a protest
made by the dean of the American
cardinals, William Cardinal O'Con-
nell of Boston. following the death
of Pope Benedict XIV.
Pope Benedict died January %,
1922, and Cardinal O'Connell took
the first boat possible. the Wilson.
AS he was on the train between
Naples and Rome the tWo-thirds
vote on the conclave fell upon Car
