enthusiasm, the Montana-made gasoline

doubtful quality with which the state has
been flooded in the past.

proclamation, issued Thursday, in
which August 16 to 23 was des

completion of additional gas

On the other hand, in the
event that additional drilling
does result in discovery of the
expected pool, even greater
profits are likely.
