Energy Patterns Of Pacific Northwest
Being Changed By Petroleum Industry

LOS ANGELES, Calif.-New re.
fineries, pipelines, and other pro-
jects of the petroleum industry are
changing the fuel and energy sup
ply patterns in the Pacific North
west, according to D H. Stormont,
west coast district editor for The
Oil and Gas Journal.
In a special report in the Feb
ruary IA issue of the Journal, Stor-
mont points to the Trans Mountain
Oil Pipe Line Co.'s line running
from Edmonton through Vancou-
yer to Ferndale, Washington, as
the first major change in the stu
alton. This resulted in the capacity
of the three Vancouver refineries
being doubled to $4,000 bbl., and
a new 5,000-bbl. plant being built
at Kamloops, 200 miles northeast
of Vancouver.
The biggest step of all was when
General Petroleum Corp. placed
its 35,000-bbl. Ferndale plant on
stream. A still larger step will be
the completion of Shell Oil Cos
50,000-bbl. plant at Anacortes, 80
miles south of Ferndale. Two in
dependent refineries have been an
nounced for Tacoma and portland,
and other major West Coast COM
panies may join the march to the
north. Standard Oil of California
and Richfield Oil Corp. are two
likely prospects.
New products pipelines into the
Spokane area have resulted in this
intermountain area becoming a
a battle-ground for products from
Rocky Mountain, Canadian, and
California crudes, Stormont re-
ports. These three sources are
competing with middle East and
Venezuela crudes which, because of
low tanker rates, are cheaper than
either Canadian or California

Seek Opinion
On Funds From
0ffshore Lands

Baton Rouge-An opinion as to
what should be done with royal
ties and bonuses collected from off
shore lands is being sought by the
register of the state land office
Of Louisiana.
Mrs. Ellen Bryan Moore, regis
ter, has cited the state constitution
which was amended in 1916 to read
as follows: "All revenues and roy
alties of every nature and kind
obtained from minerals of all kinds
located beyond the three-mile limit
of the coastal waterways of the
state of Louisiana, shall be prop
erty of the state of Louisiana, and
all funds derived therefrom shall
be deposited in the state treasury
and dedicated TO the retirement
and payment of all existing bonded
Indebtedness of the state of Louis
lana"
In the period from 1916 to 1854
the state obtained 500, 358,714.98
for retirement of state bonds.
The 1854 Legislature, however,
enacted a law stating that "the
historic outward boundary of the
State of Louisiana extends a dis
lance into the Gulf of Mexico 3
leagues from coast" 1t also de-
scribes the states coastline as be-
ing marked by a line extending
from Ship Island light to the vari-
Gus sea buoys along the coast to
Sabine Pass lighted whistle buoy.
Since the 1854 law was enacted,
the register has earmarked no re-
ceipts from minerals revenue TO the
retirement of the state debt
Mrs. Moore disclosed that about
100000 has been collected from
the involved area since enactment
of the new law but has not been
allocated 20 retirement of the
states Indebtedness.

Eisenhower
Pays Tribute
To Typo Union

President Eisenhower paid tri-
butte to Washington's Columbia
Typographical Union No. 101 on
its 140th anniversary here.
The Presidents greeting to the
oldest typographical union in the
Nation was published in the ami
versary program, and read at the
banquet program in the Mayflower
Hotel. Also sending greetings
were George Meany, AFL presi-
dent; Renah Camalier, District
commissioner; Woodruff Randolph,
president Of the AFL international
Typographical Union, and Senator
Paul Douglas d., Ill.,.
The President addressed his mes
sage to Jesse B. Manbeck, Local
101 president. In part, he said:
Adherence to democratic pro-
cedures, concern for the welfare of
fellow members, and high stand
ards of skilled craftsmanship-all
have helped strengthen your or
ganization during the many years
of its existence.
Mindful of such principles, and
of the good of all our people, may
your organization and it's affiliates
in the ITU enjoy success through
many years ahead"
Nineteen printers formed the un-
ion Jan. Z, 1915, by adopting a
constitution, electing officers, and
setting their sights on $9-a-week
wage with a 1O-hour day.
The union claims many firsts,
the first closed shop in 1912, and
the first 35-hour week in 1888.
