SHELBY GAS RATE

the Public Service Commission of
Montana denying the utility the
right TO increase its rate and es-

the gas rate to a sliding rate based
on consumption with the top price

The established rate for Shelby
for many years has been 35 cents
but a gas war between the two com

fixed 90 cents as a reasonable basis.

STATISTICAL
SITUATION Is
AGAIN BETTER

November gasoline consumption
in the United States exceeded the
1897. November consumption by
five per cent, according to the
monthly petroleum statement re-
leased this week by the [. s. Bu-
reau of Mines.
November crude production was
the same as in October. despite the
great drilling campaign in Illi-
nois where 319 oil wells were
completed during the month (sec-
ond only to Texas in drilling). and
passed the 100. .000-barrel mark for
the first time since the boom of 30
years ago.
While domestic demand for gas
oline increased, exports of motor
fuel declined from October but the
total was II per cent above the
total of a year ago. From the stand
point of motor fuel stocks the No
yembor record was outstanding
Finished gasoline stocks increased
about 500. 900 barrels but unfinish-
ed inventories were reduced about
100000 barrels and natural gaso-
line stocks 1000. 600 barrels so that
the total of all declined for the
first November since 1894
Despite this unusually favorable
situation. the price index for pc
troleum products in November
1888 was Sis compared with 53S
in October and 600 in November,
1897.

Party Will Explore
Long Sunken City
St. James Plunged 300 Feet
in 1880 Earthquake.

TAMPA.-A party of adventurous
Americans, headed by Capt. Robert
Hall of Detroit, is bound for the
West Indies, where they hope to ex-
plore the submerged city of St.
James, sunk 300 feet beneath the
sea during an earthquake in 1880.
when the earthquake struck sud-
denly virtually every inhabitant Of
the town was lost under the sea,
and a vast wealth is said to have
gone down in the CITY," Hall ex-
planned.
Hall said the party, composed OF
Jack Browne of Milwaukee; Rupert
Conrad, Detroit artist; George Law
son magazine illustrator; and
James Murdoch and Jack Callouette,
students at the University Of Michi-
gan, would collaborate in preparing
a book describing their explorations.
Browne manufactures helium self
containing diving suits. which will
be used to reach the submerged
city. He said divers had descended
successfully to a depth of 420 feet in
the suits, which have no air tubes
attached and are lowered to the
ocean floor by cable containing
telephone wire for communication
The city of St. James formerly
was the capital of St. Kits island in
the Lesser Antilles.
According to Hall. the coral-en-
crusted walls of the town are visible
from the surface during calm sea.
Equipment placed aboard the mo-
torship Albee when the party left
Tampa included FIVE undersea cam
eras, undersea compression gun, all
deep-sea diving equipment and div
ing lungs.
Hall said that they planned to ex-
anime several submerged wrecks
during the voyage to the West In
dies, arriving in the vicinity of St.
James late in June.
