the senate In time.
Earl Foster of Oklahoma City,
secretary of the Interstate Oil com

Rocky Mountain area oil men
have expressed a desire for an addi-
ton to the bill to provide that the
maximum royalty to be paid to the
United States for oil and gas pro-
duced on public lands shall not ex-
coed 121h per cent, and change
in the leasing form.
The principal amendments con-

l. In order to adjust the law to
the greater difficulties now encount-

upon discovery and a minimum
royalty of 81 per acre, per year is
substituted.

PRIVATE FIRM TO WORK
ALBERTA'S TAR SANDS

Abasand Oils. Ltd, has taken over
development of the famed McMur-
ray tar sand deposit in northern
Alberta. The company prior to 1913
invested about 100000 in trying
to perfect method of commercially
utilizing the huge deposit.
Spurred by war need for oil, the
dominion government then stepped
in and spent about $1,750,000 in ex-
periments, with the result 1t is now
believed the sands can be worked
on a commercially successful basis.
The tar sands, put through the
plant which has been finally de-
vised, are expected to yield Sc per
cent asphalt, 20 percent fuel oil, 10
percent diesel oil, and Is percent
gasoline and other products.
Enough tar sand is in sight near
the plant to fill its needs for the
next so years, according to engi-
neers.
