FIRES DAMAGE
TWO REFINERES
IN PAST WEEK

Two Montana refineries experienced
bad fires during the past week, plants
at Kalispen and Red Lodge suffering
severe damage.
The Unity refinery at Kalispen with
q capacity of 1000 barrels per day,
had q loss estimated at 500, 900 when
a backfire Ia the boiler room set fire
20 some oil and the fire quickly spread
to tanks Of refined products, including
gasoline, distillate and road oil and
the exploding tanks spread the fire.
The newly completed office building,
garage and the main crude storage
tanks escaped the fire. Water was
used to cool the tanks and buildings,
forest service pumps being used to
pump water from the nearby river,
thereby confirming the damage mainly
to the products storage tanks. The
newly installed road oil unit, used to
manufacture road oil from Pondera
crude, was not seriously damaged. The
plant is owned by DR.. Boris A. s.
Aronow Of Shelby and was operated
by willard B. AronOw, with a crew
Of about Is men.
AT Red Lodge the Red Lodge oil
refinery was almost entirely destroyed
by fire. 1t is 250-barrel topping plant.
The fire started from the backfire
of an exhaust when Herman L. Chap
man, the owner, started his car. About
10000 gallons of road oil and tractor
fuel was burned. A service station and
several storage tanks were saved The
loss was estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000. Chapman was severely burned
about the hands and face by the ex-
plosion.

True Sand in
TOles Test

One Of the most interesting develop
ments IN years was the finding Of a
true sand above the Madison lime IN
TGies-Norum NO. IL, in SCI SW3 S.
35-2W Drilled midway between three
former producers abandoned by Ohio
Oil Co. Toles sought a flow Of oil with
an abundance of water hoping to re-
cover the oil by handling a large vol
ume of fluid with a casing pump. At
1464-1466 he encountered a quartz
sand, the like OF which had never be-
fore been seen in the surrounding wells,
a few yards away. Oh rose 300 feet
and when put on the pump it made Is
barrels In "a hours. 1t is 80 gravity oil
After the pump test. Toles decided to
deepen to the contact and is now
drilling.

 Fort Bliss, Tex, Feb. 24-CUP)- The army has become the country's largest purchaser and trainer of line horses.
 To ill the demands caused by the rapid enlargement of the United States fighting forces, the remount service of the War Department is beating the bushes in all sections to find suitable steeds for the cavalry and good horses for artillery service. On June 1, the army had almost 10000 in all branches of the service.
 Mounts for the cavalry, of course, take up the finest horses, but ani- mals of good quality are required in artillery, engineering and even infantry.
 All army horses receive unusual care, far superior to the attention of the average owner. Cavalry mounts, which are the most intel ligent animals, receive attention comparable to that bestowed on race horses.
 The army's breeding system plan Is turning out large number of unusually fine horses for service every year. Mroe than 700 stallions of high quality have been lent to breeders throughout the country. and the army takes the choice of the foals.
 Standards Not Relaxed.
 These high standards of flesh, health and suitability of horses needed for army service have not been relaxed under the pressure Of current needs. The only compromise with the rapidity Of this eountry's roarmament program has been an aeceleFatlon in training mounts.
 Suitable cavalry horses. of which the ist Cavalry Division has on hand at this Southwest post more than 5000 and is receiving 200 every 10 days, are . major worry 70 the romount services. 4 cavalry horse must be far more intelligent than the average draft animal, because oflentlmes, veteran ofllees explained,

phase depends the future useful ness of the animal"
 Horses can be made unsound and their tempers spoiled if too much is asked of them at this time, !" he warned. "The exact degree of feed and work, during the condition ing period, is based on the age, pre- vious experience, strength and con- formation of the individual when the work starts. It varies with each individual horse and is more of an art than science"
 The third phase educating the mount is that of schooling"
 During this period, the young horse is schooled in the effects of the leg and rein aids, jumping, crossing obstacles that are met in cross-country riding and in the dis cipline that must be part of every good cavalry horse." Irving said.
 Long Training Necessary.
 "This period is seasoning period and it gives the young horse the final lessons which fit 1t for service in the ranks of his troop. It is taught many things and this period might extend for a year or two be- fore the training is finished.
 "Of course, that does not mean that the mount is not turned to duty before this work is finished; what is meant is that the training Is extended over a considerable pe- riod before the average horse could be expected to be a thoroughly trained cavalry mount"
 All newly.purchased horses are run through q strict quarantine and carefully observed by expert yeter- inarIans before they are released 70 whatever part Of the service to which they are assigned.
