CALIFORNIA GETS
FIRST 40 FIELD

LOS ANGELES Drilling contin-
ues at a brisk rate in California
with new projects as we'll as COM
pletions to date in 1910 topping
last years record. The Division
of Oil and Gas has issued permits
for a total of 491 new wells this
year as compared to 424 at the
same date last year.
To Tide Water Associated goes
the distinction of discovering the
first new California field in 1910.
It's West Slope No /, Sec. 20-24-
IS, in the Pyramid Hills area and
approximately five miles southwest
of the Middle Dome of Kettleman
Hills, on pumping test has been
producing 40 barrels daily of 16
gravity clean oil. Originally drill
ed as a core hole to a depth of
20S7 feet, the hole was plugged
to $50 feet and S5s inch casing
cemented at 835 feet.

JOBBERS SUE ETHYL

MADISON-Two suits have been
filed in Federal District Court here
against Ethyl Gasoline Corp. and
Skelly Oil Co. The two suits, sepa-
rate actions, were filed by the
Snake Brothers Coal and Ice Co.,
Madison, and Hi-test Gas and Oil
Co., Minneapolis, charging that
Sicily allegedly cut off their supply
of Ethyl gasoline when Ethyl de-
MED them a license. The complaint
also charges that Ethyl controlled
the price of Ethyl gasoline to the
consumer through the jobber IL
censing agreements. Attorney Will
liam Matenson. for the plaintiff,
said that additional suits on behalf
of other jobbers will be filed
within the next week. He said
suits are an outgrowth of u. S.
Supreme Courts decision voiding
Ethyl's jobber licensing system.

SASKATCHEWAN GAS

Arthur Newell of Regina, active
in the development of oil and gas
resources of Saskatchewan for
several years, was a visitor in
Great Falls last week en- route to
Vancouver, b. G. Mr.. Newell is
associated with Charles Withers,
who formerly operated in Kelvin
Sunburst and other Montana oil
fields, and who is now active in the
development of natural gas to supply
Moose Jaw and Saskatoon and,
later on, the city of Regina. Most
of the gas reserves developed thus
far are along the -Saskatche-
wan border and the construction OF
a gas main is expected to start
during the present year, with
Franco Oils building the line
Newell has been seeking a closer
gas supply and has discovered a
structure on the Battleford anti
cline known as the Little Pine area.
He has taken leases on four town
unusually large lease
block-and expects to start a test
we'll within the next few weeks.
The development company is
known as Little Pines Petroleum.

CURTAILMENT Of
REFINERY RUNS
NEEDED IN JULY

Market demand for crude in the
United States during July IS es-
timated by the Bureau OF Mines
as 800 Dbl per day more than
the estimated demand for June but
23,6OO Dbl. less than the actual de-
mand for July 1889. The low fig
ure for July 1910 is attributed to
the decline in exports.
Despite the loss of exports. the
increase in domestic demand for
motor fuel is expected to be per-
cent above last year. Low gaso-
line yields and high distillate yields
are indicated as essential. For Aug
ust and September no substantial
increase in crude runs to stills ov-
err July is anticipated.
The estimated demand for mo-
tor fuel is SIS percent over the
July 1899 demand. The general
trend in domestic demand for mo-
tor fuel is averaging about 8 per-
cent higher than a year ago.
Stocks of gasoline exceed 100000
gallons which is too high, the Blu
reau opines. The total demand for
domestic crude oil in July will ay-
erage 3,62S,40O Dbl. daily.
The estimated daily average
crude oil demand for Montana in
July, 1899 was $4,000 Dbl. per
day.

MUNICIPAL GAS
PLANT FOR HAvRE
TO be ABANDONED

Amicable settlement OF the con-
troversey over a proposed compe-
titive natural gas system in Havre
Is in prospect with the coming
franchise election at which voters
of Havre will decide on the renewal
of the Montana Utilities franchise
with the granting OF which the
municipal gas system will be de-
finitely terminated.
Working on promises of a PWA
loan and grant, a group of Havre
citizens had hoped to be able to
get a cheaper supply OF natural
gas, to be distributed through a
municipal gas system. They saw
also the prospect of employment
for men and possible profit in the
expenditure OF the federal funds in
and around Havre. but the govern
ment required that a 20-year sup
ply OF gas be established Eight
wells were drilled in a futile effort
to get any gas whatever, so 1t be-
came apparent that the city would
shortly lose the federal funds.
Accordingly, the city council pro-
posed to compromise with the
Utility company whereby in return
for a new franchise the company
will grant reduction In rates COM
parable with the rates that we're
hoped for with a municipal plant.
The city council agreed that IL
the voters granted the 30-year
franchise that the city would with
draw its application for PWA funds,
closing the books on the municipal
gas system plan.
1t is understood that the voters
of Havre are generally agreed on
the proposal.

ACE IN THE HOLE

At the present time, according to
the Dairymen's League News of New
York, there are more than 40 different
agricultural marketing agreements IN
effect throughout the country, dealing
with milk and dairy products, fruits,
vegetables, nuts and hops. Some 1900
OOO farmers are reaping the benefits.
These agreements make it possl-
BILE for farmers, through their cooper
ative marketing organizations, To not
only get better financial return for
what they produce, but TO stabilize
markets as we'll
The farmer has come a long way
since that not-so-distant time when ne
raised his crops, then went to market
and sold them for whatever he was Of
fered. The marketing coop really
brought business principles To the farm
1t did away with exploitation by big
BUYERS. And, at the same time, it pro-
vided definite service to the consum-
er by assuring steady supply of high
quality farm produce at fair price.
The marketing cooperative movement

the fact that every effort has been

just matter of time before dictator
ship follows. To Mr.. Willkie, there is
no personal fight in this-he doesn't
charge the President with dictatorial
ambitions. He simply points out that
once the precedent is demelished-we
will have, in principle, accepted a gov
ernment of men as against a govern
ment of laws.
That was the theme which domin-
ated Mr.. WILKES Coffeyville address,
opening gun of his campaign. And it
has dominated his other prepared adj
dresses made since, even as it has DOM
mated the little two-minute off hand
talks he has made in dozens of towns.
Mr.. Roosevelt bases his candid
acy on his record-on what he regards
as great New Deal attainments. His
answer to the third-term argument is
that there can be no dictatorship here
50 long as the people posses the ballot.
His recent speeches have been moder-
ate in tone, and have been generally
we'll received. They are not driving
speeches apparently he thinks there
would be no point in his making cam
paign bur, inasmuch as he and what
he stands for are so well known to the
country. On one point, all are agreed
the President was never in finer
form when it comes to his radio pres
ence and delivery.
Who will win? One of the Week
ly picture magazines recently asked
group OF we'll known Washington cor
respondents and commentators that
question, and all but a few hedged. Too
much can happen between now and
November, they said, to make a safe
prediction possible. They were about
evenly divided in giving the edge at
present to either Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr..
Willkie.
Latest published polls give the
President substantial lead. But these
polls were taken during the Willkie let
down period and SO may not mean
much. From now on, the polls should
be more significant and accurate. Hope
of Willkie hackers is that his rating
will come slowly but steadily up, reach
ing top just before November 5.
Some are wondering just how ac-
curate the modern scientific sampl-
ing" polls will prove to be if the elect
ion is close. These polls didn't come in
to existence until the 'thirties, and
have covered two presidential contests
where the victor won with record
breaking ease. In really nip and tuck
election, where the final decision turn
ed on a few hundred thousand votes IN
two lor three key states, it is question
whether the polls would make the
grade or not.
