Steveville. 1t was drilled by Stan
dard of British Columbia in LSD

tions at this point are identical with
those in northern Montana, observ-
ers say. There was a showing OF
oil in the Madison lime. the Turner
Valley horizon, and drilling con-
tinued more than 1000 feet, with
no porosity, before the big flow,
rated at 100000 cubic feet per
day, was encountered. The Devon
ian has never been developed In

the difficulty of drilling through

Legislature
Votes Protest

From the state OF California is
reported another precedent: the
first instance on record OF a state
Legislature condemning the pro-
posed Cole bill. California was not
represented at the governors hear
ing but California boasts that the
legislative action ''is in direct con-
trast with that OF other producing
states whose protests against the
Cole bill have been confined to rep
reservations made by their govern
ors in Washington.
Montana subscribers to Kipling-
er's news letters were impressed
with the conclusion 10 that eminent
authority. Under Washington date
line he gave the following brief re-
port on the Cole bill:
WASHINGTON - GOVERNORS
OF OIL STATES KILL COLE
BILL.
That the Cole bill is dead, how
ever. is not conceded by those who
know OF the determination of Sec
rotary Ickes to have 1t enacted.

PIPELINE IN
OREGON STATE
Is RUM0RED

SALEM Possibility of the con-
struction of oil or natural gas pipe
lines from Montana to the Pacific
Northwest was seen today by
Ormond Bean, public utilities com
missioner in an application for a
license to operate a battery of
trucks in this state. The appli-
cation was received from c. Hob
son Dunn of Dallas, Texas, who
said in his application that he
sought only authority to engage in
the transportation of gas and oil
field equipment and supplies OF
pipe, pipeline materials, machinery
and equipment used In the construc-
lines, over irregular routes and
from all points and places within
the State of Oregon, but only in
interstate commerce.
Bean said today 1--WE have no
knowledge of what may be in the
making for a new industry in this
section This is an unusual appli-
cation from Texas but indicates
that much equipment is coming
into this area from Texas in con-
nection with the planned construc-
ton Of an oil or natural gas pipe
line possibly from the Montana
field.
1--WE have heard rumors that
possibly Standard Oil Company, the
Texaco or the Mid-Continent Oil
which has long operated
In the Rocky Mountain region with
headquarters in Texas and large
areas in and about
may be planning construc-
lion of pipe lines into the Pacific

GAS SUPPLY FOR
SASKATOON READY

Charles Withers, formerly a Kelvin
contractor and producer, visited in
Great Falls this week en- route
back to Saskatoon after having
visited Vancouver, B. c.. where he
made arrangements with a Van
couver group to drill several tests
in the LIoydminister field where
many additional wells will be drilled
to supply gas to Saskatoon. Loca-
tions are on both sides Of the Al
berta Saskatchewan lines, he states,
and there is already enough gas to
justify the pipeline.
Withers reports that 5O0-barrel
refinery is being built at Lloyd
minister. Sask., to refine crude
from the Unity field. opened by
Withers. Il is heavy black oil and
will make an excellent grade OF
road oil for which there is a large
demand in the provinces.

ICKES STRIKES
OIL PRODUCERS
INLAHCE GREEN

Secretary Ickes of the interior
department has launched a new
teapot dome" in Wyoming, aimed
at Continental Oil company and
Ohio Oil company on $500 acres of
government lands in Lance Greek
field on which title was obtained
years ago under the placer mining
laws. Fifteen wells with a produc-
ton of 1000 barrels of oil a day,
are involved.
Ickes said he expected within a
short time to set hearing dates for
the governments cases against hold
ers Of the 120-acFe Apex" oil
placer claims near Lusk, Wyo., in
Niobrara county He did not name
the claimants
There were, he said, 81 such cases
involving $500 acres, which he
would act Immediately to bring be-
fore the local federal land offices.
Claimants in the Lance creek
field based their claims on ole
placer mining laws. Ickes insisted
they lost their rights under the
mineral leasing act of 1920, which
stipulated that such claimants
could maintain their rights only If
a discovery of oil or gas had been
made on the effective date of the
act, or If the claimants were then
engaged in diligent prosecution Of
work leading to discovery and con-
tinued such diligent work until dis
covery was made"
The department said the claims
1t now demands be returned to the
public domain were invalidated in
1920 but that as many as seven
wells, extracting an undetermined
volume of oil, subsequently were
developed on these claims

GREAT FIGHT
ON COLE Bill
NOT YET Won

Il Is generally believed in Wash
ington circles that the Cole bill
proposing federal regulation OF the
oil industry. will not get onto the
floor OF the House OF Representa-
tives in congress during the pres
ent session. reports r. p. Jackson.
secretary OF the Oil Conservation
Board who accompanied Governor
Roy f. Ayers OF Montana and Will
fred Nadeau of the Montana board
in attending the Cole hearing.
The opposition against the bill is
$50 great that it seems impossible
that there should be any question
about the defeat of the bill, but
there is some tremendous pressure
behind the measure, Mr.. Jackson
reports. that leads to the conclu-
sion that the Cole bill will not die
with the present session of con
gress nor even with the present ad-
minlstration.
There is an impression prevalent
other observers say, that the
doctrine Of states rights is doomed
Ito be relegated to the horse and
buggy days'-and that regimenta-
ton of business is to start with the
natural resources. beginning with
oil
The seriousness of the situation
has established several precedents.
observers say. For the first
time in history, the governors OF
eight states appeared in the CAPT
toll to voice opposition to a pending
measure. These eight governors al
so called upon the president of the
United States to give further en-
phasis to their opposition to the
Cole bill Oddly enough, the Wash
ington newspapers missed this his
tory-making news story, nor was
much publicity given in eastern
papers to the determined fight
against the bill
Another precedent is found in a
fight over bill which not one oil
state supports and which
is not supported by mem bers of the
Industry. II is the history-making
fight of a bureau to impose a
5trangle-hold on states rights.
