Oil Draws Many
Spectators Into
Montana, Report

Helena, Mont, Dec 3D. Oil is
the magnet which has drawn spec
ulators to apply for five-year leases
on Montana land in the last fif-
teen months on scale which near
ly equals the old land drawings
which attracted thousands from
every state in the union a few
years ago when the federal govern
ment conducted gigantic lotteries
in awarding prospective settlers
their place in the list to select
homestead entries on Indian reser-
vations.
Land owned by the state has
bee neagerly sought since one well
came in in the central part of the
state. The state board of land
commissioners has biven leases on
total of 3O7, 200 acres of land for
an annual rental of 100000. The
state executed 500 leases.
So far, reports received by the
beard show that only one leaser
has actually started drilling oper-
ations on this acreage, which is
scattered through every county in
the state east of the Rockies,
When the rush for leases started
the state leased a section of land
for an annual rental of 800, re-
quiring 10 percent royalty of all
oil and gas with a renewal privi-
lege at the end of'five years with
out any drilling required.
When the demand exceeded all
expectations and grew into bust
ness which began to compare with
the old-time gold rushes the state
land beard changed the lease.
Since March s, 1920, the board
cut the acreage to 32O acres for
each lease, demands drilling start
I'D within eighteen months, and a
Is percent royalty is now demand
I'd. The annual rental is the same,

THE KINGS COUNCILLORS.

The robins were so well pleased
with my write-up of them in last
weeks Pulaskian that they hunted up
the Wandering Fairy and held a long
consultation with her, the upshot of
which was that she came to see me
while | was at dinner today, Sunday,
and gave me very special instructions
as to how | was to use some informa-
ton and some land she had placed in
NIX keeping, along with some knowl-
edge she had also bestowed on me.
The Wandering Fairy has an awful
cute way of getting things done by
me. Who would ever have thought
when they read about Davy Doyetts
offer of a turkey to the person who
could solve a problem, which could
not be solved, that she had head
of that proposition Coke is a better
name for it, something real big; in
fact, one of the biggest propositions
ever made to the readers of the Pu-
aaskian? Well, she did. She put that

ger than money in America and that
bigger thing is turkeys. If Mr.. Boy

no one would have answered; but
when he offered a turkey, that was
different, and they all fell for it,
from the president of the County
Teachers Association down to the
school boys: and what's more, have
learned from these letters that tur-
keys are serious and solemn things
something altogether too serious to
joke about, and just lots of them can't
get it into their heads that we were
Joking about that turkey offer. But
1t is fact that there is no correct
answer to that problem as stated.
We were very careful to state it so
there could be no answer to it, be-
cause there are practically no tur
keys any more. Old H. G. l.. has just
about exterminated them. The rob-
us wanted something done which mon
ay nor the law can do, but turkeys

forests to be destroyed and for the
last turkey and the last deer to be

their descendants to spare at least
one grove of the pine trees and a
lot of the pretty deer and turkeys.
Here is their plan: There is a

this land not to sell it until we can

lars each to join, and one acre OF
land will be bought for each member.
There is a house and farm on this
land, and we are to have a turkey
dinner on it each year on Thanks
giving to which each member will
be invited. A farmer will be kept on
the land and he will raise grapes, ap-
pies, peaches, etc., and have barrels OF
the juice from this fruit for each

and vines come into bearing, and he
shall raise turkeys also if it is posi-

and allow them to live according to
the laws of the state of Arkansas. We
will also protect the other game and
the trees inside of our enclosure for
l suppose we will have to fence it and
stock with all kinds of farm animals
as well as the wild game so that we
can all have enough to eat at our reg
