Because it was hot, this asphalt was liquid, but aé Boon as it was well started through the pipeline it cooled and solidified un- til now the line is almost plugged with solid asphalt for abéit half its rhe ‘This means that the line will have to be torn up until the point is reached where the asphalt quit running &nd} then this stuff will have to be melted out of the pipe and the latter relaid Were the oil a parafine base, it would not hurt to warm it up before shipment and: the only result, of the| cooling in thé pipe line would be a dpeosit of parafine’ that would be} cleaned out by the” tise ‘of the go- devils that are sent through the oil Pipelines for this purpose. A go-devil will not work in asphalt.

The Obio Oil company has declared m dividend and an extra dividend to be paid. March 1 to stockholders of ‘yecord bruary 26. The “dividend of $2.75 will be paid as usual and then an added dividend of $1.75 ‘will be .paid besides. .

This was done by distributing one share of illinois Pipe Line stock for each three “shares of Ohio stock ‘held by the “stockholders, As to the balance sheet of the Ohio the company has assets of $12,563,468 of properties, $67,751,187 in outstanding accounts payable to the company and bills payable of $1,821,- 587 with taxes of $1,472605 not in- cluded in bills payable. Ohio has a par value of $25 but the Market is far above this point, he- . ing. at present about $282 low and $286 high. New Of] Cut Ominous. The week's news in’ the ofl world opened with a cut of from 15 to 50 cents a barrel in Hastern crude. Penn- sylvania was cut 50 cents, making the price $3.25 a barrel, other new prices being: Cabell, $1.96; Somerset ‘heavy, $1.75: Somerset light, $2; and, $1. The new prices became ef- fective at once and it is feared in Gasper that this portends a further ‘cut in the oll markets of the North- . Denver oi! operators consider that this cut may not affect the oil fields here but as the cut in Penn- ‘sylvania crude was rather drastic, the ‘Wyoming operators are warned to ex- ‘pect 2 drop in this market as the re- finers will not purchase Wyoming ernde when the same grade ‘can be gotten elsewhere at reduced prices. ‘The ‘operators in the Mid-Continent fields are aiso expecting further re- ductions and an effort is being made to shut down all production there un- til the market is without any su plus and the prices advance again. ‘Runs are even now being pro-rated in the, Mid-Continent territory. | With the prorating of runs of crude ‘oil in the mid-continent field, follow- ¢d by the several reductions in price, ‘all companies curtailed, so far as pos- ‘sible, their field work, Empire Gas and Fuel company being no exce: “tion. However, despite the company’s ‘desire to stop new work, it was neces- sary to do drilling in certain local- ities thas I leases might be held and ‘also to mect offset requirements. “With only atfew completions baa? J ‘January the company’s oil p) maintained its high level, this ng due Cad nr to’ completions wells in the Kis pool in county, Oklahoma, and in ‘Hull field in the coastal region ‘Texas. The completion of a wild- cat_well_in Greenwood co} ty, Kan- an the Ro- salla pool in Butler county, Kansas, materially improved the outlook on leases held in that section. Con- struction work op the Ponca City re- finery is being rapidly completed, and before’ the season of heavy demand for refined products opens the plant will be in position to operate at full capacity. Montana Survey Announced. W. O. George and G. M. Knapp, two geologists of Movitana, recently made a survey of the country about Hardin, where the Western States made a strike that is déstined to bring in a new field, The geologists on their return to Havre stated that the Cat Creek crude was not a nor- mal crude but was fractionated from Some- other’ déposit. Commenting upon the ojl in the fields of Fergus county, where he op- erates extensively, and upon the ex- ploration work in other* parts of Montana, Mr. Knapp said: “It-is the opinion’ of many geolo- gists that the Cat Creek oil fs not w normal oil is a fractionated oil) that comes, from a‘ normal oil elther be- low or from the north or east of Cat Creek. “For that reason there is unusual interest just at present in ‘oil strdc- tures to the north and east of Fer- gus county. There is also plans by the larger development companies to Grill deep test holes in the Cat Creek field to the lower sands for the pur- pose of finding the source of tne Cat Creek oil. ¢ “Recent ,test wells in the Porcu- pine dome in Rosebud county 100 miles southeast of the Cat Creek field found a fair degree of oil saturation in the base of the Colorado shale. They found also two good sands’ be- low the Colorado which carried a lit- tle ofl mixed with sulphur water. “The failure to find oil in commer- cial quantities was apparently due to the lack of structural conditions at the point where the wells were drill- ed. In view of this it is felt by geolo- gists that small pronounced struc- tures on the side of the Porcupine such as the Ingomar dome on the west and the Jordan anticline on the north in Garfield county are 4s cer- tain to find oil as any unproven struc- tures can be,in Montana.” ‘ Messrx. George and Knapp heave spent several days in the vicinity of Havre’ on one of the promising local structures in the hiterest of Chicago capital and are yery much pleased with the structures in the Havre oil field. - They confine their work’ to pri fessional ofl geology and ‘have work- ed almost exclusively for independent |* oil, companies and land, owners,” The Cow Gulch ‘field in Niobrara county is again active, the Clark Pro- ducing & Refining company having a! test well now drilling in this field, ‘The fuel being used is gas piped from the Norbeck & Nicholson well about a’ mile wést of the present test. This is the second test for the Clark company and they are confident that oil will yét be encountered in this field, as gas and of) has both been found nearby, one well being the Norbeck & Nichol- son well and the other the Standard Exploration company, whose well was avout a mile north of the Clark well. 2O,000-BARREL WELL . OPENED IN ARGENTINE (By Associated Press) BUENOS AIRES, Feb, 22.—The ministry of agriculture today an- nounced that oil well No, 128, in the Comodoro Rivadavia district, territory of Chubut, just completed, was flow- ing at the rate of more thin 20,000 barrels a day. This well, in a new section of the production disfrict, has broken all records for production in Argentina. Demand Curtains For Wax Models (By United Press.) LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 22,—It looks like “curtains’ for the bold, bad awomen of wax. Authorities are pondering over o request by a delegation of local wo- men moralists, who demand that wax figures of women in display windows of downtown stores be dressed and un- dressed behind drawn curtains. Crowds of men, sometimes number- ing 200, say these women, gather and watch while the garments are remov- ed from the mannikins—womankins before they are tucked away for the night. Frequently it is charged, the models are entirely denuded of gowns, corsets teddy—well everything. ‘Traffic often is blocked, the delega- tion added.

The Biological Survey here is es- Pecially aroused over the killing of wild fowl from airplanes, because the Migratory Bird Law, the enforcement of which is entrusted to the sury. specifically forbids the taking of wild fowl in that way. The survey has 9b- tained several arrests and convictions and it is ready to send men to investi- gate and case of such violations. This hunting in the air is a new thing, and the survey hopes to scotch it before it has grown to dangerous proportio It hopes to do this in two ways arrest and prosecution of offenders, and by appealing to the sportsmanship and self-interest of the hunters, For it is hardly fair to hunt birds by a method which leaves them no chance of escape, and it {s hardly intelligent to hunt them by a method which has the effect of driving them clear out of the country. That is the immediate and striking effect of airplane hunting. The birds are not slow to see that they have an enemy which it is impossible to es- cape. After one experience of bein: pursued by a plane, a flock of wild weese or ducks will often leave that vicinity for good and all. A whole season of legitimate sport from blind and boat is spoiled for a few minutes of spectacular slaughter in midair. The migratory bird law, which pro 21.—A‘ thousand feet in the air a wedge of wild! Beese is winging southward over Barnegat bay.

Their erican wild fowl more abundant in the last few years than they had been for decades before. Sportsmen in geir eral have come to appreciate its value, They are now asked not to undo the good work by the use of a new and deadly method of invading whe air, which has heretofore been the sanc- tuary inviolate of all wild wings, The hunting of birds from planes sems to have begun toward the end of the war when some Navy hydro- planes on practice flights began clas- ing flocks of wild fowl, apparently | Biological Survey at once took the | matter up with the Navy Department and the practice was stopped. But | after the war a great many military | planes were sold for small sums and @ number of manufacturers began put ting popular priced airplanes on the market. The combined air-and water craft especially has been a popular toy for young men with money, ani its purchase and uge seems to be al- most unrestricted by law. As a result, cases of hunting in the air have been reported with increasing frequency. They have come from the Atlanti¢ coastal region, from the big middlewestern rivers, from California. In California a motion picture film was made of the shooting of ducks from an airplane, and it was sub quently suppressed at the request cf fields in th: omical wa acetylene gas. ed to drop the water and effect this bang every minute all ni ducks, some measures hi to be tak kill them or drive them away. year the Biological Surv for permits to hunt thes season in order to ke rice fields. It has often appeared t those who applied for the permits were more interested in getting th+ ducks than in saving the rice.
