Los ANGELES Ben Hogan. a
jockey-sized Texan who yields to
no man until the last putt ia
down. started the 1912 golf cir
cult where he finished in 1871
at the top-with a hard earned
victory in the $4,000 Los Anse-
les open.
He won the tournament on the
18th hole in a plsyoff match with
Big Jimmy Thomson, long-driv-
ing professional from Del Monte,
Cal
Thomson almost won the
tourney on Monday In the
final round, but the little
man from Dublin, Tex. still
had TO be reckoned with.
Hogan birdied on the 18th TO
tie Thomson's 1872 for the four
rounds of play and thereby dim
med the big Californians chances
for first money of s3,5o0-for the
bNAiff
In the 1s-hole playoff yester-
day, ii was the same combinat ton
the last hole and Hogan's birdie
that permanently eclipsed
Thomson's hopes.
Thomson was on the green, but
IL feet away when Hogan ex-
ecuted brilliant chip shot which
rolled within eight inches Of the
cup. The score was even, and the
pressure on.
TWO INCHES AWAY
Thomson putted- 81 500 shot
and the ball rolled toward the
pin. II never reached the cup
and stopped two inches from the
rim. Hogan sank his for a birdie.
Hogan's share of tourna-
ment gold was $500 and 25
per cent OF the proceeds of
yesterdays extra round. MAX
ing the total prize about
$4,10O. That Is a good start
for any year, especially for
Hogan, who came out atop
the professional heap last
year without winning = major
tournament.
Thomson won S1.700. plus
another % per cent of the gate,
for total of $500.
The playoff was the second in
the history Of the Los Angeles

FREEDOM OF PRESS
is NOT ASSURED

The week of Oct to was American
newspaper week, to call attention to
the fact that America is the one place
in the world where the newspapers can
print the truth. OF greater Importance
Is the fact that the public must learn
to safeguard that freedom which is
constantly threatened in the new order
of government. The mails are today
overloaded with government publica-
tons. Every new idea conceived in
washington is accompanied by a new
publication which is dumped into the
mail, in preference to the utilization
of existing mediums. OWL director
Davis has taken an important step in
abolishing 239 government publica-
lions and curtailing 284 others. Pri-
elimination of duplication but at the
same time he is performing a great
service in inhibiting the establishment
of government newspapers and propo-
ganda mediums. The trend has long
been apparent that the people were
soon to be told that the official"
publications we're the one source Of
truth. That is the Axis method. At
tacks on the free press by politicians
has long since notified the public that
the freedom of the press in America
is something that cannot be taken for
granted. Americans may have to fight
for it.

OIL SHORTAGE
IS APPROACHING
SAY OFFICIALS

The national conference of Pc
troleum Regulatory Authorities de-
clared in resolutions passed at the
Chicago conference that it is their
considered opinion that the nation is
on the brink of an oil shortage due to
lack of drilling and exploration work
and to avert such shortage it recon-
mendS:
FIRST: That the federal authority
for regulations having to do with the
production of petroleum be placed
under one head and that the regula-
tons be materially simplified and
SECOND: That provisions be made
at an early date for an increase in
price on crude oil whereby the pro-
ducers may be given an added in
centive for making new discoveries"
A. B. Cobb, chairman of the Oil
Conservation Board of Montana, who
represented Montana in the confer
ence said that it was determined by
the officials present that America to-
day faces the serious threat of GER
tain shortage of petroleum and its
products unless the discovery rate is
increased to meet the present deple-
ton of reserves.
The meeting called upon the De-
partment of the Interior to adopt the
88 lease form customary in the in
dustry for oil operations on govern
ment lands, replacing complicated
sliding scale royalty leases now used
with the universal one-eighth royalty

RAILROAD NEED
FOR OIL GROWS
IN WAR TRAFFIC

Petroleum fuels are providing an
increasing share Of the locomotive
power required by the railroads to do
the tremendous transportation Job
they have undertaken in 1912.
Quantities of fuel oil and diesel oil
purchased by Glass I railroads in the
first six months Of 1912 increased %
percent and 81 percent, respectively,
compared with the same period Of last
year, reports Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission disclose.
Use of fuel oil for locomotive power
Is confined almost exclusively to the
railroads Of the west. but the use Of
diesel oil. although it. too. is consumed
mostly by western railroads, is spread
ing rapidly to other sections Of the
country.
Total consumption of diesel oil by
q. S. railroads is still far below the
consumption of coal and fuel oil, but
it has been growing at a rapidly ac-
celebrating rate. Only six years ago, In
1896, total railroad purchases amount
ed to but 17,500,0O0 gallons; in the first
six months of 1912 purchases totaled
87,075, 900 gallons. This compares with
purchases of 54,1300OO gallons in the
first half of 1871.

now knows might have been productive ha
they been carried few feet deeper into the
Madison lime Now everyone knows that the
best wells IN Kelvin field are those which
find their production IN-nOt at the top
the Madison lime The O'Neil-Lashbaugh
and scores of others are adequate proof.
Up in Canada the unhappy operators
tired of the American rule that white lime
on the tools spelled 'flnis" They drilled on
down, China bound, il necessary, and so
found the Turner Valley Horizon, from 400
to 900 feet below the top of the Madison
lime
Now there is no driIIer who tells the boss
that he is all through when he sees red
shale on the bit. Neither does he tell the
boss he is all through when white lime
paints the string of tools. But we have a new
one:
Sorry, but you're all through: we've
struck sulphur water"
And so we have a rule as hard and fast
as the red shale and the white lime rule.
If the Ellis Madison contact carries water,
drilling stops. If the contact is dry, drilling
continues to the first "break" in the lime.
If that is dry, then drilling continues to the
next break" but if it carries water, the
crew hastens to pull pipe, plug and aban-
don.
On the Twin Rivers nose northwest of
Cut Bank field is a new oil pool of great
promise. 1t is not getting its production from
the horizons usually productive in Kelvin
and other fields, but from BREAK" so feet
in the Madison lime.
We are quite positive that had the Madi-
son contact carried water, the Reagan well
would not have been completed to the new
horizon and thus Twin Rivers might have
been "disproven" for years to come.
We have seen it happen in Kelvin field
many times A brOken-down barbed-wire
fence separates two leases, possibly part of
the same farm. One operator finds the lime
contact dry and continues on down and
brings in a producer in one of the breaks"
near the top Of the lime. Across the fence,
another operator drills to the contact, finds
water. Does he continue on down to his
neighbours horizon? He does not.
Has anyone tried to perfect a technique
Of cementing off contact water and
tinuing on down?
No, the rule is that water-nOt the red
beds and not white lime-but WATER is
the stop signal.
We were digging through well records to
district, where Tarrant is drilling, north of
the new Conrad Midway pool, this week.
We came upon the record Of the Adams
Kelly well In the trough of the Marias river
syncIine-in Sec. 1S-3ON-SE. The last time
we saw that well 1t was still flowing water
enough to provide an irrigation project but
on top of the water was a continuing skum
of oil. We always thought that oil came
with the water in this unusual flowing
water well FROM THE TOP OF THE MAD
ISON LIME.
Searching the records we find that this
water Is coming from the CONTACT. The
well was drilled to the Reagan horizon
sixty feet below the top of the Iime-and
there it found oil. The water could not be
controlled, Of course, and the amount of oil
could not be determined
That well was drilled in 1854 years
