LANDMARK DESTROYED BY
FIRE SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Dwelling on Bradley Farm, West
of Oakland, Burned to Ground

The dwelling on the Bradley Farm,
one of the old landmarks of this sec
ton, was entirel ydestroyed by fire
Sunday afternoon. A defective flue is
thought to have been the cause of the
blaze, which evidently caught in the
attic of the three-story structure.
The blaze was discovered about 2:3O
o'clock and the local fire department
was summoned Immediately. A strong
wind was blowing at the time and
with no water supply available at the
scene of the fire, the firemen were
greatly handicapped.
Within an hour after the alarm had
been made, the upper floor had burned
out and shortly thereafter chimney
fell, although in the meantime the
firemen had great help from a
number of boys and men who carried
water from a spring drain some dis
lance away which was pumped from a
booster tank of the engine onto the
flames. They were further assisted by
an employee of one Of the gasoline
distributors who hauled tank load of
water from the nearest fire hydrant.
The building was owned by Earl
Shartzer. Three families, who lived in
the house were made homeless by its
destruction. The tenants were Fred.
Collins, John Nair and Eli Meats and
their families. The structure was par
TALLY covered by insurance. House
hold goods was carried to safety, but
almost Immediately thereafter hard
storm broke over the community and
everything thus saved from the fire
became watersoaked.
The farm many years ago was
known as the Wilson Proctor farm. 1t
was owned by2Mr. Proctor, who built
the pretentious mansion house de-
stroyed on Sunday. The dwelling was
erected by Mr.. Proctor about the year
1870. He was said to have been we'll
TODD and took up farming as a hobby.
The farm embraced many acres and
the outlines extended well into the
present corporate limits of Oakland.
Mr.. Proctor resided in the house win
ter and summer and later sold the
property to John Bradley, Jr., of Gin
cinnati, Ohio, who resided there for
several years with his family and his
father, John Bradley, Sr. The farm
and many town lots which had been
laid off as an addition to the western
part of Oakland, eventually passed
into other hands.
During the last three or four years
of the life of the Garrett County Fair,
the burned building was used as an
exhibition building for farm and home
products. Financial difficulties which
beset the fair association caused it to
be sold and was purchased by the late
Andrew Shartzer.
Fire At Wright Thayer Farm
A fire of undetermined origin also
destroyed the granary and garage on
the farm of Wright Thayer, in the
Underwood community, on Sunday
night. Clayton WEIGH was the tenant
on the farm, and his automobile which
was stored in the garage, was also de-
stroyed.

Having completed our royalty buying
on the North noses of Cut Bank oil
field, we are not averse to disclosing the
facts which prompted us to go into
this district and buy royalties on large
scale We have distributed among our
members these royalties, purchased over
a period of nearly a year, and we be-
live that in these purchases our members
viii exceed even the highest profit rec
ords registered in Cut Bank field proper
Our Cut Bank investments have been
the most profitable, ON the average, In
tn history of this organization. This can
be attributed to three important factors:
1. We did most of our buying ahead of
the drill and so great is the area of
this field that we kept moving, step
by step, into new producing territory
buying royalties on lands that within
a few weeks i'm many instances were
brought into production
2. Our purchases were made i'm nearly
every instance on the basis of wild
cat territory. This was made pos
sible by the uncertainties of the exc
tent of the pool and the further
fact that the Cut Bank sand was a
stray" sand, with no production his
tory in Montana, at the time we
purchased many of our royalties
8 Our experience in Cat Creek in
Kevin-Sunburst, POndera and other
fields, ahead of Cut Bank, made
or Cut Bank buying much more in
intelligent than ever before. We
know better how to go about maxi
ing money. Our members had been
educated to buy enough royalty a.
head of develOpent to be able to sell
part of tt at a profit, retaining e.
nOugh royalty to make a fair in
come from the average producing
well. Thus our members learned to
keep their royalty investments turn
ing over. AS it worked out, they al
lowed their friends who bought from
them to make a nice profit for even
when a member doubled his money
he still gave his buyers cost price
that was paid out by production of
a few hundred barrels per acre
Added to ali this was the fact that
Cut Bank came i'm during the depression
We made each dollar buy more oil in
underground storage than any time be-
fore in the history of Montana oil de-
VelOpment, as a result of the depression.
We bought royalties at practically our
own prices, for a time, and when q mar
ket developed, high prices for the oil
came quickly as the country was then e.
merging from the depression
But with all those favorable circum-
stances, our royalty buying in Cut Bank
proper never did look so promising as
that program we have completed ON the
north slope of the field To understand
this statement it is necessary to point
out the structural formation of the
Sweegrass Arch.
THE SWEETGRASS ARCH
The Arch has been described as "a
mountain which changed it's mind. 1t
is a vast bulge in the earth's surface
caused by the upward surge of mountain
building material which apparently sub
sided when the pressure was relieved by
the breaking out of mountains elsewhere.
II someone ever drills deep enough, he
may find the top of a granite mountain
