Royalty Holders
Protect Yourselves

| Again the facts are out-that
there is no reasonable excuse for
kevln-Sunburst crude only bring
ing seventy cents. The only
reason is that the Standard in
tends to store it for the big bus
mess that will be on the coming
season. Listen to what New
York financial journal has to say
of it: I'VE will get the biggest
business in oil in 1923 of any
year in history. Petroleum and
Refining companies are all pre-
pairing for it. There will be
demand for all the stocks that
can be produced now and in the
year 1923. Dividends paid by
the oil companies next year will
be the largest on record" The
people of Wyoming did not wake
up to what was taking place
among them until it was too late
and now that state is throttled
by the Standard Oil, and this is
exactly what is going to happen
here if it is not speedily taken
care OF to the fair treatment of
the Independents. Even South
Dakota, which has no oil, but
confidently expects it, as devel-
opment work is going on there at
several points, is making good
ready TO start something there,
before it is too late, and protect
the industry in the event that it
does show up there as being
worth while. Wake up Montana
and see to it that legislation the
coming sessions is made that will
save the big end of this business
to the state. One sees that the
Ohio company will, in a short
lime. be caring for the schools
Of this state. There are plenty
Of Independents that would be
doing the same thing, if given a
half chance, or equally as good
as this the bandit Of Standard
oil.

PIunderings of

ate is getting their representa-

The thick hides Of our Montana
representatives have not yet been
penetrated, but there are other
men in the capitol that are doing
some good work. Listen to the
letter of representative Frear Of
Wisconsin, as reported in the Oil
Fields Bulletin: "The public has
been secretly plundered of up
ward of BILLION dollars in
surplus apart from generous cash
dividends" he wrote to Treasurer
Mellon, on the subject of Mellon
cutting. 1t demands TO know
whether a rebate Of SIG, 100000
had been made to Standard Oil
and other large rebates to com
panies that the secretary was in
terested in Frear maintains that
if the taxes supported by law
were imposed on corporate surp-
luses, it would pay the soldiers
bonus. He accuses the secretary
of crucifying the hopes of 4,000.-
600 men who barred their breasts
to enemy bullets, to save enorm-
GUS plundering profits to the
Oil from tax penalties.

Test Reveals Kevin
Crude As Valuable

Lewistown Local oil men have
awaited with great interest the
result Of the test run on two cars
Of Kevin-Sunburst oil, completed
by the AFRO refinery last week
1t surpasses all expectations, the
crude giving a gasoline that, in
essential qualities is equal to the
best produced i'll America. This
is the summary Of results an
nounced by Superintendent W.
M. Parker.
The yield is a little over 80 per
cent gasoline, with 20 per cent
kerosene of very high grade, Is
per cent gas oil and the residue
black oil, marketable, after being
refined, in mining and lumber
camps.
Vice President H. H. Schwartz
Of the AFRO, who watched the
test throughout, said:
$50 far as quality is concerned,
there is no doubt now in my
mind but that Kevin-Sunburst
crude will produce gasoline of
such high quality that it is not
matched by any on the market
in America today.
"The gasoline from Cat Creek
crude is as near perfection as it
has been possible to get except
as to one quality. and that is the
initial boiling point. 1t is this
quality that determines the easy
starting of gasoline. With Cat
Greek crude, we have blended
enough quick starting casing
head gasoline to round out the
product. This casing head is
shipped in from Oklahoma. With
straight run Kevin-Sunburst gas
oline and straight run Cat Creek
gasoline blended, we get a pro-
duct of such high quality that its
like is not obtainable on the
market in Montana.
The AFRO intends to use the
Kevin-Sunburst crude, instead
Of shipping in crude from Salt
Creek, Wyoming, as had been
pfanned. Great Falls Tribune.
