Enfield Horse e-Thief

Enfield, Conn.,, Dec. 4-tUP)- New that the horse and buggy days are coming back, and the cries of "giddy-yap" and "whOa" are piercing the air again, the Enfield Society for Detection of Horse Thieves and RObbers-120 years Old-today began preparing for a bury season.
 Things have been pretty tough for the society for long time. Yes, the automobile era has so cramped its style that members now have mostly forgotten how to go after a horse thief.
 But gasoline and tire ratiOning, and other conservation measures, are making life hazardous for automobiles now, and visionary members of the society are con- vinced the horse days are com-

.AGEN WELL Is
MADE PATTERN
WELL FOR kelvin

The southeast corner Of 40-acre
tracts has been designated as the pat
tern location for Kevin-Sunburst field
by Joint agreement Of the engineers
of the US.GS. and the board OF rail-
road commissioners of Montana, for
warded to the OPC office of Mike
Foley at Denver on Thursday.
There has been controversy over
which well in Kelvin field was the first
approved location spudded after Dec.
/ %. which well determines the pattern
! for future drilling under order M-68.
! The Rimrock- Schmidt No was re-
/ garded as the pattern well but check
of the actual spudding time showed
I that the Agen- Goeddertz No. 20, Sc
NW7 SWs 23-35-3W, was the first well
I spudded and therefore the southeast
corner becomes the location on which
a line well may be drilled without spe-
cial permission.
The office Of Mike Foley, production
co-ordinator, is authorized to approve
locations which do not conform to this
pattern If there is adequate reason,
such as a required offset or structural
location. If there Is adequate reason,
variation from the pattern Is allow
able.
An operator who drills one well to
40 acres either in the center of the 40
or in the southeast corner, In Kelvin
field, requires no special permission
and Is allowed casing and other equip
ment.
Not so simple is the case in Cut
Bank field where the OPC has been
called upon to make a ruling whether
Cut Bank Is one field or whether the
Tribal pool west of Cut Bank creek,
constitutes a separate pool. The spac-
ing arrangement in the new Tribal
pool is $50 feet from the lines. Else
where in Cut Bank the rule has been
in the center of forties.
The first well spudded in the Tribal
pool after Dec. % was the Castle
Pardee-Tribal 1913 No. 2, which hap
pened to be in the southwest corner
of the 40. That has been accepted as
the pattern well for the Tribal pool
by operators. But across the river
No. 5, located in the
center Of the west line, was spudded
ahead Of the Castle-Pardee well. 1t is
$50 feet from the line and operators
regard it as the pattern well for the
rest Of Cut Bank field. In doubt about
designating two areas, with different
patterns, w. NJ Peden, district engi-
neer of the U.S.G.S, submitted the
problem to Foley at Denver. A decision
Is expected during the coming week.
Further light on the situation is ex-
pected to come with the return of A.

OIL REFINERY

Capacity operation of the newly
completed refinery of Petroleum Re
filming Corp. at Shelby was insured or
Friday by the adoption of a plan Of
reorganization whereby control anc
management of the plant goes intC
the hands of Frank v. Long, Califor-
mia manufacturer.
Announcement was made that Long
has purchased the controlling stock OF
the corporation from James Mckay
and Phil Jacks of Los Angeles and 1t
is understood that Long will shortly
acquire the interests Of Sonken 81

one of the principal creditors.
The company was reorganized under
chapter 10 of the Chandler act and
the plan of reorganization presented
by J. j. Greene, trustee, OF Cut Bank.
was accepted by interested creditors
and others and approved by Judge
Pray in U. S. district court.
Under Judge Greene's reorganization
plan all labor claims are to be paid
Immediately from funds now on hand.
The trustee will also pay an claims
under 500. Stockholders were called
upon to accept one share of stock for
each three shares now held and Son
ken & Galamba and Frank B. Long,
principal creditors, accept stock at par
for the full amount of their claims.
Unpaid claims amounting to $4,000,
owing to general creditors, will be paid
off at the rate of 10 months, thus
ending the trusteeship at the end Of
10 months.

NATIONWIDE
GAS RATIONING
QUESTIONABLE

Rocky Mountain producers and re-
timers are watching with interest the
plans of Petroleum Co-ordinator Ickes
for curtailment of gasoline consump-
ton in the east by compulsory re-
strictions, possibly including ration
ing system. There Is talk in Washing
ton that the restrictions will be applied
everywhere, without regard to local
conditions.
The gasoline shortage on the Atlantic
coast results from tanker sinkings. The
initial step proposed is p. m. to 2
a. m. curfew for filling stations all
over the nation and reduced gasoline
supplies to filling stations from Is to
25 percent. Rigid coupon book ration
ing would come next.
In Texas where oil is piling up for
lack of tankers, there is an over
abundance Of gasoline, likewise in
other states, while there is plenty Of
gasoline in the Rocky Mountain region
and California. Why these states
should be reasonably brought within
a rationing rule is not apparent
Curtailment Of gasoline sales will be
reflected in curtailment of refinery
runs and that in turn viii inevitably
stop drilling which in turn means
cessation of prospecting. With no flush
production and no new discoveries it
viii be a simple matter to bring about
an acute shortage of petroleum in the
United States In the face Of growing
war demands which in time of great
cannot be Immediately
filled.

Q The letter from Mendenhal relates
( that E. NJ Goddard OF the Survey visit
+ ed the deposit last June, without the
( knowledge of the owners or OF engi-
neers familiar with the property, but

a negative report in which he con-
tested the report of L. c. Westgate.

much more thorough survey in 1921
when the workings were open.
Why U.SG.S. engineers should start

are manufactured.
The reconnaissance report Of God

industry in Montana" There Is no
quantity Of ore in sight at all, engi-
neers say. and had IL been lin sight"
the owners would not have had to ex-
pend large sums In opening it up
more than two decades ago.
The letter to the Great Falls Cham
Der Of Commerce follows:
"A brief reconnaissance was made
last June of the Running Wolf iron
ore deposits southwest of Stanford,
Mont, by Mr.. E. N. Goddard Of the
Geological Survey. On this trip he was
accompanied by Mr. Hall Clement,
secretary of the Central Montana
Chamber of Commerce at Lewistown. /
Goddard soon after his return to
Washington last fall was detailed TO
some foreign work and made no for
NAL report to the Survey on his OBJ
serVations of the Running Wolf de-
positS. He did, however, make some
comments on the situation in compari-
son with the facts recorded in the re-
port by L. G. Westgate concerning the
same deposits and published as Geo.
logical Survey Bulletin 715-F In 1921
Goddard considered that Westgate had
covered the available information fair
" well but differs from Westgate in
certain important particulars such as:
"Westgates estimates of ore reserves
are considered perhaps too optimistic
because the deposits do not appear to
be continuous and the assumed depth
Of 100 feet may be assuming too much,
as the deposits are lenticular bodies
at various horizons In the limestone

THE quality OF the ore Is not con-
5idered to be as good as indicated by
he analyses published in Westgate's

do not show the pres

WAR DEMAND FOR
PETROLEUM WILL

In its February review the Independ-

Just what effects the war viii have
upon the petroleum industry cannot
yet be determined but some trends
are becoming increasingly apparent. II
Is clear that the war effort win Inn
pose large and unusual demands upon
the industry over and above the nor
NAL civilian uses. 1t also seems clear
that this increased demand may be
offset by certain other factors. To
mention a few Of the more important
of these factors, our proven under
ground reserves may be inadequate to
