pumps. of Fort Worth. is a visitor
in north Montana oil fields this
week, in company with z. c. Dill

be widely used as a result OF a
shortage OF tubing, resulting from
the national defense program. One

CANADA NEEDS
MORE GASOLINE
But NOT CRUDE

Montana's chief contribution tc
the assistance to Canada in the
war emergency this year will be
in providing refined products ra-
Their than tho shipment OF crude.
This conclusion was reached by
the Journal through a survey OF
the Canadian sitIA lon in which it
was determined that the Prairie
Provinces Will require about S,o0O,-
900 gallons of gasoline to care for
record market demand. THIS means
the utilization OF about 100000
barrels of north Montana crude:
Whether Canadian refinerles will
need more crude than Burner Val
ley can provide later in the season
is yet to be determined. 1t is ex-
pected that the present drilling
program will maintain the field
output at around $4,000 bbl. per
day. Should this decline, the use
of Montana crude 10 keep refiner-
les operating is expected.
Several small refineries in Can
ada are now shu. down because OF
lack of crude. Imperial and British
American, the principal refiners,
have adequate Grade Consumers
Refining Co at Winnipeg is oper-
ating at part capacity on Midcon-
tinent crude. Highway Refineries
are said to be without adequate
crude and are buying refined prod
ucts to care. for their market re-
quirements.

DAVIES NAMED
new OIL CAR
UNDER ICKES

Appointment OF Ralph X. Davies,
vice president of Standard OIL Co.
Of California, as deputy petroleum
co-ordinator, by Secretary Ickes,
brought no surprise to the Oil in
dustry but brought conflicting views
from the Midcontinent where an
effort was made to have Ickes ap-
point a three-man board with the
Independents represented.
Ickes announced:
Restriction of civilian consump-
ton OF petroleum products on East
coast within 80 days is probable.
No rationing, unless voluntary re-
strlction fails.
No restriction on consumption
needed in areas other than East
coast
Oil Co-ordinator Davies will han
die administrative details OF re-
stricting consumption.
oil price control shall remain in
hands of Leon Henderson, Office
of Price Administration and Civil
ian supply Chief.
Ickes will ask for priorities on
steel needed for pipeline construc-
ton.
There was implication in Ickes'
statements that he regards his pow
ers as co-ordlnator as broad enough
to include control Of crude oil pro-
duction.
Ickes asked the state of Illinois
to enact a conservation law, to stop
waste.
Oil Controller G. r. COttrells of
Canada conferred with Ickes on the
question of Canada obtaining suf-
ficient tanker tonnage to supply its
needs.
Texas railroad commission con-
tinued to demand that tankers
should be diverted from South
American trade rather than Gulf
coast. otherwise we surrender
markets and seriously disrupt pro-
duction in the Southwest area,
Ickes was told.
Independent operators wanted a
three-man board to include CHARTS
Fort Worth, and Writ
Franklin, Ardmore, Okla.
California complained that If
more tankers were diverted from
the Pacific fleet that the West
Coast will also face gasoline ration
ing. All marketers depend upon
water haul. to Seattle, Portland and
he Inland Empire. Curtailment OF
he California oil industry will fol-
ow withdrawal OF many more tank
srs.

ervation division and a represent

The thinness of this sand, which
was only seven feet thick in this
well, as compared with the thick
ness found in the Border field and
the Cut Bank fields to the north

and its entire absence in wells I'M

that this sand has entirely wedged
