WOLF POINT ASKS
FOR GAS SER vICE

Wolf Point residents have asked
consideration OF a route by way of
the Roosevelt county seat for the
proposed extension OF the Montana
Dakota Utilities Co.'S natural gas
line from Glasgow or Fort Peck to
Glendive
The company last summer an
nounced tentative plans for the ex-
tension. 1t was proposed to run a
line across-country from the termi-
nus of the natural gas line at Fort
Peck. distance of about 100 miles.
to Glendive. Such a line would give
the company connection between
the Bowdoin gas field in Phillips
and Valley counties and an eastern
North Dakota western Minnesota
area. which it may serve. as part of
an expansion program.
While a route from Glasgow by
way of Wolf Point would be about
30 miles longer, it would also add to
the number of natural gas cOnsum-
ers in this area Towns which
could be served would be Nashua.

Outside
Market

Before we take mp the answer TO that
question, we must recognize the growing
outside market. During 1899 the ship
ments of oil to the new refinery Of In
land Empire Refining Co. at Spokane
were negligible, owing to the railroad
rate situation. There was no oil shipped
during the summer months, when de-
mand should have been greatest. The
reason was that the rail rates were so
high as TO make it Improbable to ship
oil to the Spokane refinery. That rate
was reduced but not until the last month
of the year. Crude movement then re-

summed and should continue throughout
1910. The Spokane refinery has a ca
pacity OF 1900 barrels per day. There
is talk that the capacity is to be In
creased to $500 barrels per day, but
that is not a consideration at the pres
emit time.
Should the Inland Empire plant call
for 1000 barrels per day, Glacier Pro-
ductiOn company, the company which has
the contract to supply that plant, would
have TO ship all this present production
to Spokane. That would leave no oil to
supply it's refinery at Cut Bank
There is second plant in Spokane
which has a capacity of 500 barrels per
day, the DrumhelIer refinery, as a fur
ther market for Cut Bank crude. 1t OPP
Grated steadily during 1880.
1t is rumOred that the POcatelIo re-
fincry, which is using half Cut Bank and
half Lance Creek, WyO., is going to take
all of its requirements from Cut Bank
during the present year. 1t is now TAX
ing 1900 barrels from the two fields
Its shipments were regular during 1899.
We know that during the summer
months no oil was moving to the In
land Empire plant and shipments to Ida
no and Washington totaled between
i'UOU ana A,0OO Dslffels per uay, Anulcat-
ing that were Inland Empire to take
1000 barrels per day there should be
export of around 5000 to $500 bar
reIs per day to Idaho and Washington,
from Cut Bank field, which calls for an
increase of a quarter million barrels of
Cut Bank crude in 1910 over 1899 ex-
ports.
Should the POcatellO plant take an
additional $50 barrels-which report is
without confirmation and therefore only
spcculative-this would mean another
quarter million barrels of demand.

dispute was settled between two ad-
joining towns:
"Aker had won out against Oslo
in a bedroom frontier dispute
waged for months and finally car
ried 10 the courts.
In readjusting the boundary be-
tween the two cities, engineers
drew line through a particular
bedroom in "A block Of flats so that
a husbands bed was in Olso and his
wife's bed in Aker. Under Nor
wegian municipal law the dOmicile
for taxing purposes is where the
husband sleeps and so oslo claimed
a victory.
But the municipality of Aker
was not easily convinced. 1t took
the husband to court and on cross
examination asked whore the hus-
band had slept between Dec. 81
and Jan. when the tax year
started
THE husband admitted he had
slept in Aker.

W URING the year 1889 the supply
~ of oil produced In Montana Oa
M% fields was not great enough to
care for the demand.
When this condition exists there Is
something known as the LAW OF SUP
PLY. AND DEMAND that comes into ac-
ton. IL is one law which every person
respects and bows before.
Vet the law of supply and demand was
not operative i'm Montana last year: the
shortage did not result in increased pric-
es nor did big campaign of drilling re-
suit.
The reasons are interesting and have
an important bearing on the year 1910.
Here are the basic figures
1889 market 6,1s4,255 Dbl.
1880 production 5,O5s,s45 Dbl.
C,ndo shortage 225.41O Dbl.
This oil of necessity was taken from
storage IL we are correctly informed,
there is relatively little storage Oil re-
manning I'm north Montana oil fields.
That means that during 1910 the market
will have to look to NEW PRODUCTION
rather than to storage.
The annual figures showed that there
was 4 ,416,433 barrels OF storage OH IN
Montana at the end of the year 1889.
That amount seems large but when we
consider that refineries ordinarily plan
on a two months supply of crude in
storage at all times, we realize that this
does not represent much oil beyond cur
rent requirements. Montana refiners re-
quire approximately $4,000 barrels OF
oil per month. Furthermore, we are In
formed that the storage figures include
Of hot
ment and asphalt-in the tanks i'm Sum
burst field, which means that all of the
so-calIed storage oil is not good refinery
stock.
II there is no more storage oil TO
draw upon, what will happen?

Officers To
Join War On


Local law officers will cooperate in
efforts launched in Eastern North
Carolina to make war on flimflalnm-
crS and confidence men who may
seek to prey upon tobacco farmers
with the start of the selling season.
A meeting of enforcement men was
held last week in Wilson when q
clearing house was set up to OK
change information between police
and Shcrirfs' departments in the mar
keting Centcrs.
II is estimated that crooks dcfraud
tobacco growers out of from $50
600 to $4,000 annually. They ply
all manner of schemes and devices
to separate growers from cash they
receive for sale of their leaf.
The State Bureau Of Investigation
will serve as the clearing house for
the exchange of information on OPP
erations of these flimflammers. The
department will send data to all
police and shcriffs' offices in the
counties concerned, it is stated.
Some two score enforcement Off
GERS attended the meeting in Wilson,
the first of the kind ever held in the
State, so far as is known. Visiting
officers came at the invitation Of
Chief of Police c. P. Hocutt, Of Will
son, and included chiefs of police,
sheriffs. detectives, identification
men and some members of the State
Highway Patrol.
