L Ia T. a.
plant, which, by the way, is a
near relative of the lusciously
beautiful camellia-is a shrub
that is said to have been
cultivated in China for over
5000 years. 1t is believed that
in the early centuries the leaves
of the plant were used only as
medicine, gradually growing to
popularity as a panacea for
fatigue and countless minor
lrritationS.
Grows Wild
Tea plants grow wild in the
mountains between the plains of
India and China, probable place
of origination, but are carefully
cultivated for commercial pur-
poses, being grown from seed
planted in a special seed bed.
When the plants are still
small they are set out in rows
in a well-watered nursery, care
fully shaded from the sun. AS
soon as they are strong and
hardy they are transplanted,
and after they are three years
old the first picking of the
leaves takes place.
AS the plants grow older,
there may be four pickings a
year.
The reason for the names
given to the different teas is
very interesting. Pekoe, which.
in Chinese, means white hair"
is made up of the three leaves
nearest to the top of the shoots,
and is so called because those
leaves have a whitish down on
them. Souchong means small
sort" and this tea is made up
of the leaves below the Pekoe,
Congou, which means labor"
is so called from the fact that
originally in China it consisted
of leaves of the third picking,
and much labor was required
for its production. Bohea is
the name of mountain range
in China, where an inferior
black tea used to be grown.
Price Declines
When tea made it's appear
ance in England, early in the
seventeenth century, it was so
rare, and so great a novelty,
that people paid as high as $50
a pound for it.
At such a price it could never
have become popular, and the
price gradually went down-but
even one hundred years later it
still cost SIS or more a pound in
London, and the principal shop
at which it was sold combined
the business of banking with
their tea dealing.
Black and Green
Black and green tea come
from the same plant-the diff
ference lies in the preparation
of the leaves. The black tea
has become this color due to
fermentation whereas the green
tea leaves have not been allowed
to ferment, and thus have re-
tained their original hue.
Much of our tea comes to us
from Formosa, Java, Ceylon
and South Africa, as well as
from China.
Attempts have been made to
grow tea in the United States,
and there are tea gardens in
South Carolina-but the cost OF
labor here is so great, compared
to the East. that American
grown tea becomes exceedingly
expensive.

Some of the trinkets that are
baked in a brides cake are: A

a wishbone for the one who

WAYI TH another anniversary Of the

owners Royalties company we
are led to look around ourselves and
see where we have made smistakes in
the past and to see to it that they do
not happen during our next ensuing

This organization was formed twelve
years ago. a few months after Kelvin

YEAR will be our thirteenth year. We
have learned a lot Of things in the ex-
Ueriences of twelve years-and perhaps
that is our greatest fault. We have faii-
ed TO realize that many of our members
have not been with us for II years and
that those of us who have experienced
the dozen years IN the Montana oil in
dustry take for granted that the new
er members know everything we 40
If there is one real service we try to
render 1t is to make clear the opera
ton of royalties to any investor but we
are not at all certain that we have been
taking into consideration that new mem
bers do not know the primary things
about royalties We are this week is
deals with semi-technical things that are
very simple to the owners OF royalties
who have been following this situation
for many years. but to the person who
picks ND this report with no knowledge
of the situation OF royalties In general
it is a little inadequate We come to
this realization, just this week, and we
are starting now TO go back to the be-
ginning and to place in the hands OF
newer members some of the facts which
we pioneer" members have Cleaned ov-
er the years.
We have issued large number OF In
formation publications In the past, many
OF which are out Of publication. There IS
a lot Of difference between our early pub
lications on the subject OF geology and
the last qualification on the subject
our Romance In Rocks, which was
perhaps our finest publications. This
book included a technical article on the
geology of this region which could be
readily understood by our older mem
bers but when we stop to think about
it, we know that our newer members
could not have digested it, without the
groundwork OF one earlier publications.
Accordingly we have decided 70 canvas
our members and determine whether we
should re-pubIish some Of these book
lets. We invite members, new and old,
