REORGANIZATION
OF SANTA RITA
is AFFIRMED

Santa Rita stockholders last Satur-
day voted to accept the reorganization
plan whereby they win receive one
share of Standard Oil on. j. for every
IL shares of Santa Rita now held.
Standard Oil is expected to take over
Santa Rita operations this week with
no change in perc onnel in either field
or refinery staff. The name Santa Rita
win be dropped from the field opera
tons and the name Northwest Refin-
ing Co. win be substituted, under the
reorganization plan.
OF interest to the entire industry is
the fact that L. B. O'Neil, organizer Of
Santa Rita and retiring president, will
remain in Montana.
"This is my home: my friends are
here and I expect to live and die here
among them" he stated. He viii re-
main with the organization during the
period of reorganization and thereaft-
er retire. His vice presidents. George
McCabe, Reese Poynter and Tim Lam
dry, will continue in charge of their
respective departments, as viii Virgil
Nelles, secretary.
Thss is the third important O'Neil
success in the Montana oil and gas in
dustry. His first was the International
Refining Co., which was purchased
from him by California Petroleum cor
poration which in turn was merged
into the Texas company which now
operates the Sunburst plant. His second
was the organization of the company
which developed the Cut Bank gas
field, first known as Montana Power
Gas Co., and later as Glacier Produc-
ton Co.
His retirement from the reorganized
anita Rita Oil g. Gas Co. does not mean
his retirement from the industry, 1t is
understood, although he has made no
statement as to his future plans.
A statement of policy Is expected
from Standard Oil only after the COM
pany begins to function. Rumors that
the company win divert much OF its |
crude production to Canada to bolster
the waning supply Of Dominion refiners
are without foundation. It is under
stood that the company has an initial
Of from Is TO 20 wells In Cut
Bank field during the present year.

THREE CENTS
MARGIN FIXED
ON GASOLINE

Gasoline dealers over the country
were granted permission by the office
of price administration today to sell
at a Scent retail margin over cost, a
margin which has been allowed At
lantic seaboard filling stations since
last May
The action thus permits dealers
whose prices are now frozen at each
stations level of Oct. lis, 1871, to in
crease their prices If they provide a
margin Of less than cents.
Such an increase Is not mandatory,
It was emphasized by an OPA spokes-
man, but will allow dealers whose prices
were frozen at an unprofitably low level
because of local price wars or other
reasons-to get back to a profit making
margin.
A minority Of dealers will be affect
ed, OPA said.
The action was described as part Of
OPA's program to aid small business
establishments to Withstand the impact
of wartime expedients," and to help
retailers stay in business despite the
curtailment in sales volume caused by
rationing.

Both Cut Bank and Kelvin field pro-

pared with october. Kelvin production
dropped to 5.438 Dbl. and Cut Bank to
1929 Dbl. daily Other fields. lacking
any drilling whatever, showed little

October to 3B9.8l8 Dbl. in November
More drilling in Montana oil fields
Is deemed imperative II q serious oil
famine is to be averted in the spring
months. Normally there is a cessation
Of drilling at this time and few com
pletions may be expected under normal
operations between now and spring. Re-
cent competitions In the Tribal pool Of
Cut Bank, by Trigood OIL CO. have not
thus far figured in production records
since pumping equipment has not been
available. This production will figure
In the December totals but 1t is be-
lieved that December win show less
production than November.
