Oil-operators may look ahead

ny is drilling a we'll in township

The price of oil will go up
when the big companies have
filled their tanks" said Mr.. Grit
fiths. "Over production n d
other causes are given as the
reasons contributing principally
to the slump in the price of crude

fine the cause that will restore

Tremendous amounts Of crude
are going into storage, even to
the extent that it is being backed
into the tankage in the old fields,
and when a supply big enough to
satisfy the owners is laid in, the
price will advance. And don't
be surprised if when the advance
starts it goes to a figure above
that received in recent years.
Everybody who is in position
to Go so is buying crude oil at

The International Oil syndicate

acres of land in 1882 w. The
international is the most unique
company, or syndicate, in the
Kevin field, having la capitaliza-

land to start the game with. The
No. l we'll of the syndicate is on
the sw-nw of 1882 west, and
came in August last for 1875
barrels in eight hours pumping
on three-inch tube. For h
amount of capitalization and the
scale upon which it is operated
the company has probably the

The syndicate was organized
by l.. A, Duncan and is financed
with Canadian and American
capital, Mr.. Duncan himself COM

purchased in the Halter lease,
and brought in the first producer

Making Big Headway
On Bowes Structure

An oil test that is attracting
more than ordinary interest in
the state was started Saturday,
when the Boyd company began
work on their Chinook No. l well
on the south Bowes structure.
The company was under contract
to begin drilling on the 18th and
after some pretty rapid work in
getting the outfit shipped in and
placed, began to drill on time.
The drilling has progressed
we'll on the start and is nearing
the 300 foot mark, with crews on
day and night shifts. The work
so far has been under the super
vision of Jerry Ford. Mr.. Boyd
is expected to return this week
from Billings to give his person
al attention to the test. Chinook

Site Located for
Pumping Plant

Kevin, ever alert to it's oppor-
tunities, will become the location
for the pumping plant of the
Campbell Oil Company.
The ground will be staked for
the foundation excavations this
week and actual work will COM
mence in the near future.
The site selected is n e of
the high points in close proximi-
ty to the town, from which the
oil will be pumped into the Shell
by Refinery. The altitude at
Kevin is about one hundred feet
higher than Shelby, contributing
materially in the disposition of
oil by pipe line to that point.

People are Partners
In Great Northern r. R.
Why Pocketbook of Life Insurance Policy Holder is
Affected by Results of Operation Explained
by Railroad Executive

st. Paul, Sept. Is. Millions of
men and women throughout the
Northwest and other parts Of the
United States are interested vi
tally and personally in the prof.
table operation of the Great
Northern railway because they
are among it's owners and are
partners in its operation and de-
velopment, it is emphasized in a
statement by Chairman Louis w.
Hill of the board of directors.
Many persons realize their in
terest in the success of the rail-
roads because Of their dependen-
cy on them for the transporta-
tion Of freight and passengers
but undoubtedly there are many
who are unaware that they are
partners, and owners in a sense,
although they hold none of its
capital stock shares, said Chair
man Hill. Among the latter are
the millions of holders of life in
surance policies and depositors
in savings banks. Their pocket
books are affected directly be-
cause most of the large life in
surance companies haye money
in Great Northern Sc
curities, he pointed out. When
the railroad is prevented from
selling it's commodity - transpor-
tation-at a reasonable profit,
then the investment Of these
men and women is jeopardized.
Answering the question, "who
owns the Gre at Northern?"
Chairman Hill said:
There are outstanding 2,494,-
730 shares Of Great Northern
stock. of the par value of Sl00
each. Each share represents an
equal ownership in the property
Of the Great Northern railway
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-09-27

and each share has an equa
voice in all stockholders meet
ings, including those for the elec.
tion of directors.
ION December 81, 1922, these
shares were owned by a. 1914 mer
and women in all walks of life.
and by organizations and institu-
tions. There were 24,416 men
shareholders, 1918 women, L.
GIG insurance companies and mis-
cellaneous corporations, and 169
hospitals, charitable bodies, re-
ligious and educational inst itu-
tions.
Distribution of these holdings
is wide, 28,449 holding from one
to 20 shares each and IL, $40 hold
ing 20 to 100 shares each. Only
3, 286 held more than 100 shares
each and the average holding
was only 56.2 shares each.
Dividends have been paid on
this stock since 1891 and from
1900 to 1921, the dividend rate
was 7 per cent per annum. In
1922, this was reduced to 81 per
cent and in 1923 to 5 per cent.
Many persons in the territory
served by the Great Northern
are among its largest sharehol-
ders, and therefore are affected
by its ability to pay
return on a )ital invested.
Most of the large life insur-
ance companies have money in
Vested in Great Northern securi-
les. Therefore, nearly every
me who holds life insurance
lolicy, and many depositors in
savings banks, are partners in
he operation and development
If this railway, and their liveli-
lood is partly or wholly depen-
lent on its ability to pay"

Survey for Gas and
Water Now Completed

The Compbell Oil Company has
completed the survey for gas and
water and are preparing to ask
the county commissioners for a
franchise.
Engineers are now at work
running a preliminary line for
water from the q. H. S. springs
six miles west, into the city. The
difference in elevation is said to
be approximately four hundred
feet and the present available
supply is five thousand barrels of
water, that is better than ninety
nine per cent pure.
A gravity system will enable
the company to supply the oil
fields on all sides of the city most
economically, overcoming one of
the big problems of development
and particularly in dry years.
With Kevin recognized as the
center of the Sunburst and Ellis
sands, together with these prom
ised innovations will surpass its
own expectations and become
one of the big cities in northern
Montana.
