INCREASED OIL j
PRODUCTION
IS PREDICTED
DALLAS, Texas, Dee, 28. Big oil
j producers of the Southwest predict
I that peace "ill bring increased pro
j diction and increased consumption of
fuel oil, lubricating oil and gasoline.
They declare that to meet specifi
cations for high-grade fuel oil for
admiralty purposes it was necessary
| to refine much crude oil under waste
J ful conditions, which will not obtain
> in the future.
Increased consumption, producers
say, will result from neutral markets
! replenishing their stocks, from more
| general use or motor cars in Kuro
j pcan countries that have been at war,
j and from the use in Great Britain,
j France and Italy of thousands of mo
j tor lorries, now in the war zone, as
auxiliary systems of overworked rail
ways.
But this Increased demand will be
more than offset by increased pro
duction, officers of the large Texas
companies declare. Production, in the
North Texas field now is 62,000 bar
rels a day; the Gulf field is producing
68.000 barrels; the Kansas field, !»!*,
000 barrels; the Oklahoma fields, out
side of Gushing and Healton, 142,000;
the Gushing. 44.500, and the Healton,
42,500. The Texas figures show an
increase over figures for the quarter
ending September do, which gave the
total production ns 16244.814 barrels,
valued at $18,001,240. This was an
j increase of more than a million bar
rels over the June quarter and two
millions over the March quarter.
Kxperts here say the Mexican fields
; clone have a potential production of
l.ooo.ouo barrels a day.
Producers predict that with the ex
tension of the ():i:l fields oil stations
will he established at ports through
out the world and permit of further j
i adoption by ships of oil-burning
{ power systems.

1IKI.UNA, Mont.. Doc, 2N. State- if

Montana at midnight of December ill if
this year With the passing of the If
sr.loon there will disappear one of j f:
the picturesque institutions of the|f:
West. At one time the saloon was an if
important feature in the social life fi
of the hardy pioneers of the Treasure if
state. ft
In the early days when men were if
blazing the Western trails the saloon ! ft
followed them and. as a rule, was j if
among the first industries to set upiSf
and transact business in the commu-i jj;
nity. With a canvas for a top and a ft
board bridging two boxes for a bar, if
hospitality at so much a drink was f:
dispensed to the Argonauts. if
As communities prospered the own-1 4$
ers of the saloons or "half-way §S
houses" waxed prosperous in propor-1 <•:
tion. The barkeeper's was a strenu-|:f
ous life, for those who sought the ! f}
cheer he dispensed included miners, | iji
cowboys, Indian fighters, cattlemen.;-i
sheepmen, the renegate and the ne'er-! %
do-well Revolvers more often than jf
not were the arbiters of disputes. The | f:
barkeeper’s armament lay on the bar £
within handy reach and in full sight if
of the perhaps too ebullient customer, if
to remind him that there were limits ! f:
within which he must confute his! fj
