STATES TOTAL FROM OIL
LANDS HALF MILLION

Income to the state from its OIL
and gas leases shows an increase OF
over $50 per cent from 1917 TO 1926
according to figures compiled by /.
NJ Brandjord, register Of state lands.
From 1917 up to and including Nov
ember 24,1926, the state received
S545,S41S3 from this source. In 1917
the income totaled only $4O250, while
this year has seen $345,O17.OS flow
into the various state funds.
Over the 10-year period a total OF
351 gas leases have been issued,
covering an area of 170,340 acres.
Total rentals collected on these leas-
es amount to $14O, 794.S1, the total
penalties collected for failure to drill
according to the terms of the lease
amounted to $13,64O; total fees col
lected, $S77.5O and from the 121s per
cent royalty the state collected $780,.
5sO.O2.
The income by years follows: 1874
$4O25o; 1918, 81, 1,5o7.51; 1919, $751;
1885; 1920, $e,O1465; 1921, $S,246.
S5; 1922. -2O,sOS76; 1928, $1S,68186;
1924, s1,S4718; 1925, s1O3, ,4s6.4O, and
1926. $S45, ,O17O8
"The slump during the years 1920
to 1928 was due to unsuccessful drill
ing between the time the Cat Creek
fields were opened up and the dis
covery of the Kevin-Sunburst field"
said Mr.. Brandjord, and it was not
until 1928 with the great output of
the Sunburst field that the state
started its collection from royalties.
Income from fees and penalties
goes into the state general fund;
rentals go into the public school in
come fund and revenue derived from
royalties goes into the public school
permanent fund"

time since the filing OF the complaint
of the Sunburst Refining company of
Great Falls, against the Great Nor
thern Railway company charging ex-
cessive rates for movement of crude

GASOLINE SOLD DIRECT
FROM WELL TO TANK

Great Falls men who have been in
the Turner valley across the Canad-
ian line bring information of interest
as to the pouring out of crude gas
oline by the Vulcan well in that field.
and which is being sold to the I'M
perial Oil Ltd, at 1872 cents per gal
lon
The crude gasoline, or naphta, is
being out at the well by a Smith
separator at the rate of 1876 barrels
per day, the gas flow from which it
is extracted being about 10 OOO. 1000
feet per day. The delivery OF the
natural gasoline is by trucks from
the storage tanks at the well but as
soon as possible pipeline Will he
laid from the well to the Imperial
plant in Turner Valley. The pipe
for the line already on the ground.
and the line will be laid as soon as
it can be put down.
Production from the Smith SEP
arator continues between 135 ana
14O barrels a day, but it is figured
that considerable quantity Of oil is
getting away. This situation win b
remedied.
The gas pressure seems to be in
creasing. The crew has to leave the
big valve open practically all tine
time. Ii it is even partly closed the
pressure runs up rapidly to the dan

STATE MAYLOSE
GAS TAX MONEY


Helena. The state of Montana
stands to lose nearly $3OO,OOO in gaso-
line taxes alread5 paid by the con-
sumner of the stare under the 1925
law, which imposes a tax Of two
cents gallon, should the supreme
court sustain the district court OF
4 Silver Bow county in the case of the
state against the Silver Bow Refin-
ing company in which the district
court has held the law to be invalid.
Up to the present time and cover
ing the last quarter ending Septem-
Der 80, 1926, a total of more than
$2S1 900 in taxes has been accounted
for, some of which was paid under
protest by the refining companies,
and some of which has not been turn
ed into the state treasury.
Refining companies operating in
the state which paid their tax for
the last quarter turned in a total of
S165, 240O4, which was paid under
protest, and this cannot be touched
by the state treasurer until the ex-
piration of go days after the date of
payment. and then only can it be-
used if suit shall not lave Jeen
brought for its recovery.
So far only rwo large refiners or
distributors have paid their gasoline
tax for the I7gt quarter without pro-
test, the Texas company having
turned in sS2,1S15S. and the Conti-
mental Oil company s4S,SS1.54 upon
the sales of gasoline imported into
the state by them.
There appears. according to the
attorney generals office and the
state board of equalization, to have
been q general agreement on the
part Of Montana refiners to either
pay their taxes under protest or to
withhold payment altaeather. pend
ing the final disposition OF the Silver
Bow case now pending before the
supreme court.
Payments under protest were made
by four of the largest Montana re-
finers and distributors for the last
quarter as follows:
The AFRO Oil & Refining company,
$34 .754.72; the International Rein
ing company of Sunburst, $16,66l74;
the Lewistown Oil Refining ccn-
pany Of Lewistown, $82,5O4O2, and
the Sunburst Refining company of
Great Falls, $S1,S1s-56, a total of
s165, 24O.O4.
Beside these, many Of the refiners
have failed or refused to make any
payment of their taxes for the last
quarter, most of them filing their
statements as required by law, but
failing to accompany the statements
with settlements of the tax Ac-
cording to the records in the office
Of the state board of equalization

due from them for the last quarter

Jackson Gregory Author
Of Tom Nix Picture
Observation-Disclosures
TODAY


"The Everlasting Whisper the
screen adaptation Of Jackson Gre
gofy's novel, in which Tom Mix is
starred, and which shows at the
Monroe Theatre today is one Of
the finest stories in which the
noted William Fox, western star,
has ever appeared. Directed by
J. G. Blystone, the picture is
based upon the lure Of the rugged
Northwest. involving action as
thrilling as the romance Of the
story is beautiful.
Gregory's story takes its name
from the everlasting whisper" Of
the breeze through the pine trees
of the Northwest and it is the lure
Of this incessant whispering that
brings Mark King to this rugged
land. He encounters Gloria Gay
nor, a society girl, played by Alice
Calhoun. The girl tired Of city
shaw, seeks contentment in the
open and Mark King fits in with
her mood.
Circumstances throw them to-
gether and she marries him to
avoid marrying Grafton, played by
Robert Cain, who has tricked her
into an elopement. But, with
marriage, comes realization that
they are Of different worlds. His
mode Of life and his manners are
repulsive to her. However, since
she has made her bargain, and,
since he loves her with the virile
love of a man of the outdoors,
King makes her live up to it.
The manner in which King
tants this tigress Of society and
wins her heart provides plenty Of
opportunity for action of the Tom
Nix sort. The picture combines
the appealing Mix personality with
a new trend Of drama which has
resulted in excellent entertain
ment.
Nix, in his usual dashing red
blooded self, while Alice Calhoun
and Robert Cain also do fine
work. Others in the cast, all Of
whom viii please. are George Ber-
rell, Noble johnson, Virginia
Madison and Karl Dane.
Wypdham Citizens prepared the
scenario and made perfect
adaptation Of this fine Gregory
story. The scenic background is.
a treat. All combined, "The
Everlasting Whisper" is a splendid
picture.
