Dormant Five Months.
The proposed amendment was Of
fered by Senator Costigan on the first
day Of the present session of Congress
Apparently the Colorado Senator fore
saw what might happen to the N. r, A,
tested before the Supreme Court. Ad-
ministration leaders. however. were
not inclined to take seriously enough
the question Of the constiutionality of
the New Deal measures. So the Costi-
gan resolution has lain dormant for
the last five months.
Senator Cost;gan said of his pro-
posed amendment.
The purpose If the amendment Is
important. The economic crisis which
began in this country in 1929 has
resulted in much legislation enacted
on an emergency basis AS condi-
tions now are. it is conceivable that
sharp differences of opinion may de-
velop at any time between the diff
ferent branches--legislative. executive
and judicial-of the Government over
the question Of fact as to whether
the emergency. in view of the legis-
lation, has terminated
Seeks Permanent Foundation.
1T is fair to say that legislation
ought not, for constitutional reasons,
be required to rest on so uncertain
and shifting foundation. Further
more, if our experience should teach us
that some legislation, which has been
tested and tried in emergencies. is
likely to prove so worthwhile that
It's permanent enactment will be clear
ly in the public interest, and ought
not to depend on years of struggle
for constitutional amendment If the
need for action arises"
Senator Costigan said that changing
economic conditions in this country
had practiclly obliterated State lines.
1t was necessary. therefore. to deal
with economic problems in a national
way and the recent decisions of the
Supreme Court in the N R. A case, he
said. left no doubt that an amendment
to the Constitution is necessary il
these problems were to be dealt with
nationally.

HaIf % The Fun % The Oil Business Is uIn
FIGURING THINGS OUT

wv HAT was the shape OF the pre-
w historic seacoast which now forms
the Cut Bank oil fieldf
If there were any man who could
definitely answer this question, he would
have in his grasp the secret which could
make him millions upon millions of dol
lars. He could buy royalties which a few
years hence would make him fortunes.
He could take leases which win be sought
after by the great OH producing compan-
les of the world.
One thing we know: there is bur
led seacoast beneath Cut Bank oil field
We know its location only from the logs
of wells drilled Where the sand is pre-
sent. it reveals the ancient seacoast
Where the sand is absent. we know
there was no beach present at that spot
In the early Cretaceous period-perhaps
a hundred million years ago-when this
sand was laid down.
Little by little the logs Of wells drill
ed again to reveal the shape Of the beach
We know that this beach 3s not present in
Kelvin Sunburst area, as an, example. We
find evidence of remnants Of the sand
as we progress westward from Kelvin
We know that this beach was formed
on an island OF which Kevin-Sunburst
area was the top. We do NOT know the
shape OF the island except ia a general
way. Perhaps the entire Sweetgrass Arch
was an island. The so-called Cut Bank
sand is NOT present at Great Falls nor
north OF Great Falls But the island may
have extended as far southwark as the
Teton river. Yet the logs of wells drilled
do not reveal IT,
When the Cut Bank sand was first
found it was called a stray, for the
U. s. G. S. and other geological authori-
ties did not know of its existence. A
stray sand is usually to be avoided, for
1t represents only localized condition,
in many instances. The Cut Bank sand
was not regarded as anything OF promise
until several wells drilled showed that It
had considerable extent Today the pc
troleum industry of the world knows
that the Cut Bank sandstone Is OF such
thickness and extent that It represents
one Of the most important sources OF
oil on the North-American continent Few
of US living here in Montana can grasp
the tremendous Importance OF this con-
ddtion. It's only parallel is the famous
East Texas field where thousands OF
wells, rather than few dozen wells,
reveal the Importance OF a similar ere
taceous seacoast.
It is definitely known that the shore"
side of the beach was to the east The
thickest, sand, therefore, is 70 the west.
The coarsest heaviest sand formed close
to the sea wall Finer lighter sand f1Oated
out into the bay. the mud and silt trav-
cling well out into the bay.
We find sand thicknesses varying from
3 feet on the east edge to SIS feet on
the west edge. We know that the beach
was about three miles wide and probably
wider. At the present moment we regard
the EAST or thinner edge Of the beach
as most important. When the regional

and deposited, doubtless, in the highest
part of the structure wherein container
sand existed. As the water level receded.
the oil seemed to remain in the upper
parts OF this sand, which was and is
more coarse and porous than sands
found, thus far, to the west At the same
time, IL a porous spot Is found at the
west, It may contain the most important
deposit in the Cut Bank sandstone That
is something that only the drill can re-
veal.
We know definitely the shape and
trend of the beach through townships
35 and 81 orange West) and we know
that 1t swings eastward in township 33
orange West). 1t continues into town
ship 80, where two wells have been drill
ed, one showing 80 feet OF sand and the
other 90 feet OF sand.
We know that the sand was NOT pre-
sent at one spot in twp. 50, range 4W,
where the Producers Development well
had marry a grain OF Cut Bank sand. A
we'll in twp. 81. range 5W showed SOME
Cut Bank sand and it contained a little
OIL
The Producers we'll was drilled on the
theory that the Kevin-Sunburst area
was the island the south beach Of which
swung eastward In the vicinity OF what
is now the Marias River. That theory is
by no means disproven, for the Pro-
ducers well may have been too far
north. Therefore it was perhaps only a
few feet beyond the ancient sea wall
Certainly that beach did not end, like a
blind alley. It went southeast or south
west: not straight south. else the Barmac
well in 1-33-5W would like have had
more of 1t.
We have long been pouring over a
map Of this district and the course of
Cut Bank creek has been an interesting
study. We wish to pass this idea along
to members Of this organization. If there
is any who lack map showing the river,
we will gladly supply one.
We have begun to wonder what sig
nificance the course of Cut Bank creek
has with regard to the ancient seacoast.
1t is possible that the course OF stream
could be influenced by q Typographical
feature buried by $500 feet OF sediments?
II seems improbable. Yet streams are mots
generally directed by structural con-
ditions, as we pointed out last week. We
cannot but feel that the course OF Cut
Bank creek may have some relation TO
the Cut Bank sandstone and therefore
suggest the shape OF the buried sea-
coast OF the ancient Cretaceous sea.
This is one of the problems that will
be solved during the present year. The
larger companies hold thousands upon
thousands Of acres OF leases south OF the
Marias river, north OF Waller. They are
not going to continue to pay rentals With
out knowing whether they are oil and
gas lands. The result will be the drilling
OF two or more test wells during the
present year. II we had a device with
which we could look into the ground
and trace this oil pool southwark. we
could make fortune by buying in ad
vance OF the drill Certainly we can pick
up bargains in royalty but the chances
