AT REHOBOTH SUNDAY
Denney SudIer Swept on InflaIed
Rubber Mattress By Wave

Swept off an inflated rubber mat
tress by large wave, Denney Sud
Ter, % years old, of MOntehanin, was
drowned in the surf at the foot of
Maryland avenue, Rehoboth, last
Sunday. His companion, a youth
about 10 years old. also was knocked
into the ocean but was rescued by
Stewart LeCato, special life guard.
Thomas Pennock, Wilmington, an
other life guard, said he was about
so feet from Sudler when he disap-
peared from view Neither police or
life guards knew the Identity Of the
boy who was rescued
Mrs Mildred Sudier, who was on
The beach. saw her husband drop in
10 the water and screamed for help
LeCato, son of Commissioned John
M. LeCato, and Pennock responded
but the man, who WAS unable to
swim, could not keep afioat until
help arrived
Sud1er also is survived BY a three
year-old son and his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Sudler Of Clayton. He and
his family had been spending a va
cation at the resort.
An easterly wind stirred up huge
waves, life guards being busy
throughout the day assisting per-
sons from the surf. Life Guard
David Buchler reported one man
was knocked unconscious by a wave

VOTERS ARE NOW BEING
REGISTERED In STATE
Officials Are Busy As Chronicle
Goes To Press

As the Chronicle prepared for
press Thursday, August 8. noOn),
officials throughout the state were
busy getting voters out to register
on the final day before county pri-
nsaries. Early reports from outlying
districts disclosed the fact that the
majority OF eligibles would be on
the books by nightfall.
The registration last Saturday In
the two lower counties was estimat-
ed by officials to be approximately
1000. Figures throughout the state
are considerably lower than those
reported in the same period four
years ago-when well over half the
voters In the state registered on the
first two days.
At Milford party leaders said over
twp-thirds Of the voters were reg
istered. with especially heavy regis
trations being reported from the
three election districts Of the Tenth
Representative District In Kent
county.
Two registration days still re-
main, Saturday, September q, and
Saturday, October 10.

CAR INSPECTION is
REDUCING ACCIDENTS
Figures Prove That Automobile
Casualties Are Being Ont Down

Automobile casualties are reduc-
ing as a result Of the compulsory
mechanical inspection Of cars now
Icing promoted throughout the
State Of Delaware under the joint
euspices of the Motor Vehicle De-
partment, the Delaware Safety Coun-
GU, and the State Highway Depart
ment. The campaign, up to the end
of July 81, or for the first two
weeks, weeded out Of the 1885 au-
tomobiles brought in for inspection,
6,S61 not fit to be passed However,
although 26,124 vehicles were pass
ed during this period, not all OF
them were qualified the first time.
1896 of the ones passed had to un-
dergo two inspections before pass
ing, while AL of the cars passed had
to go through the lanes three or
more times to be passed. These
automobiles that took two or more
times to be passed were potential
accident breeders before being in
spected and the defects adjusted.
while the remaining G,s61 are still
potential accident hazards. Although
all of these automobiles may not
have become involved in an accident,
the possibilities are that some of
them may have, so we can definitely
say. that the inspection of the cars
did result in having detective auto
adjusted and thus the haz-
ard was eliminated.

Thursday, October 81, Has
Been Selected For An

The result Of operation Of state
finances during the past fiscal year
proved far better than anticipated,
according to the report Of State
Auditor Benjamin I. Shaw in view
of the fact that Il had been estimated
the states surplus would decrease
approximately S1270,000, whereas
the actual decrease was $3.50 s904.33
General fund revenue increased
ever the anticipated amount BY s217,- :
441,8S, due mainly to increases In
inheritance and estate taxes, reTe-
nue from the Delaware Liquor Com
mission, and mercantile licenses
No money was borrowed from the
banks and 100000 was repaid to
the banks Of moneys that had been
borrowed during the previous year.
Funds Borrowed
During the year, the general fund
borrowed s500,O00 from the highway
fund and 100000 from the school
fund, while the amount Of $780,
S02.07 was diverted from the fran
Chise tax revenue Of the school fund
to the general fund. During the
previous year, 100000 was bor-
rowed from the highway fund and
diversion of franchise tax t0taled
$449, ,32453.
School fund revenue for the fiscal
year exclusive Of diversions to the
general fund totaled 1929 $3.50 as
with s3,951, ,911.25 for the

Mr.. Shaw's report showed that the
general fund owed the highway fund

FEET OF SATURATION. That depth is
third of the depth of the average
Turner Valley producer; some Turner
Valley wells go S,4OO feet for their oil.
There is now the prospect that a we'll
just north eef the Alberta border is to
be drilled ON down through the Madison
lime. Should it get production either
in the Turner Valley horizon or in the
Devonian, 1t is impossible that Montana .
: operators will longer hesitate about
& penetrating the -big lime" We are
confident that large production will
come from deep drilling. We are con
fident, also, that many more oil fields
will be opened up in this vast oil basin
whenever operators realize that horizons
BELOW the big lime are the true pro-
ducing formations.
Royalties which our members have
been purchasing for the last IS years
have been based only on the production
of the "seepage oil" at the top of the
lime. These royalties carry, also, the
great potentials of deep sand production,
The poorest of present-day royalties
may make the greatest fortunes in De-
probationary of the future.
We are glad to see this California
group become interested in the Alberta
basin, even though they are working on
the Alberta side. They are no farther
away from Cut Bank oil field than is
Monticello from Huntington Beach, in
the Los Angeles Basin. The outcome Of
their Alberta operations Will apply
equally in Montana because they are
operating in identical formations in the
same structural basin. Their discov-
cries mean nothing to us as buyers Of
royalties because in Canada royalties
go to the king the owner of the miner
al rights. In the United States each
humble homesteader became a King
and he receives the royalty rather
than a King or government.
No intelligent investor can fail to capt.
talize developments that may result
from deep oil discoveries in any part
of the so-called Alberta Oil Basin. To
the man who can realize the geological
conditions and not the geography, the
Turner Valley field has already proven
that the REALLY GREAT POOLS MAY
BE FOUND BELOW THE TOP OF THE
MADISON LIME.
1t will take a startling discovery, such
as the Twin River well, to jolt the drill
ers into action. But meantime, there is
opportunity for investment in royalties
on known structural conditions on the
basis OF the value only of ''seepage oil'
at shallow depths.
Any desiring to join with us in the
purchase of royalties in potential new
pools is invited to do so, using the at
tached coupon, IL desired.

graphy. They see Turner Valley as a
great oil field in the. Alberta oil basin
and Cut Bank as a great oil field in the
Alberta oil basin.
In other words. had the international
line run between Huntington Beach and
Salt Lake oil fields .of California, these

has been trapped a, large amount Of oil

Folds along the east face of the Rocky
Mountains, from Fort Norman oil field

Montana, were created by the uplifting
OF the Rocky Mountains. In the area

this is a land of vast spaces. The

Angeles Basin. 1t follows that there is
a vast area to be prospected, between
Turner Valley on the north and Bana-
tyne on the south-with oil known to
exist in greater or lesser quantities all
the way between the two
Can there be any question whether
MORE oil fields will be found in such
an area, when modern sciences are put
to work?
When we stop to consider that Mon
tana is still skimming SEEPAGE OIL
off the top of the big lime, we know
that oil production in the Alberta Oil
Basin has scarcely begun. The greatest
oil fields in the world are those which
have had DEEP DRILLING. Except for
deep drilling, California would have
little production today. However, Cali
fornia formations are not comparable
with those of the Rocky Mountain region.
Comparable formations-in Texas, New
Mexico and the Midcontinent-show that
the oil found ABOVE the big lime
usually serves to guide prospectors to
the great pools BELOW the big lime.
The best evidence that such conditions
will be found in this region is the Tur-
ner Valley oil field which is getting its
oil 800 to 500 feet below the top of the
big lime" while Montana is content to
produce the seepage oil at the TOP of
