ON THE VERGE OF GREAT THINGS

with assurance of a steady market
Heretofore neither operator nor royalty
owner was sure that the Canadian buyers
might not step out of the market for
months at a time and might change their
commitents and the price without regard
to local market conditions.
There is now prospect that those days
are past. 1t is entirely up to producers
to get this permanent market by signing
up their production to one of the pend
ing projects, possibly with a 5-year price
certainty that every month in the future
will have regular pay day.
If there were no more oil lands avail
able; if good oil leases were not to be
had virtually for the taking, this might
not be available but producer can today
sign up a contract to sell 100 barrels or
any other number or barrels of crude
per day-the capacity of his present
wells-at a given price, and be assured
of funds with which to proceed with a
program of acquiring and drilling new
leases the production of which will not
be under contract and which will be
available to additional refinery projects
of the future.
This is opposed to the attitude of the
producer who would refuse to join any
of the present projects in the hope that
he will he able TO sell his oil more adj
vantageously in the future. The chances
are that he will be 'left OUT for some
time to come because pending projects,
we feel, will take up so much of the
present developed crude that there win
not be enough left to provide another
refinery.
We recall the prophecy of w M. Full
ton that every string. of tools in Mon
tana would be at work by July /, 1888.
We thought him far too sanguine at the
time, but his vision of the situation is
becoming more apparent.
There has been so much confusion re-
garding plans and counter-plans of pro-
duction curtailment and of refinery build
ing and expansion that we have written
a careful report, in terse form, for cir
culation among our members. This re-
port, is in the mail and If there is any

N~HE present hearing of the Oil Con-
servation Board has done more to
attract nationwide attention to the
Montana oil industry than any other
factor in our recollectiOn-which dates
back to the start of commercial produc-
ton in this state.
Many times we have had press accounts
of we'll compilations which have called
the attention of the world at large to the
fact that oil had been found in Montana
but the present hearing has told the
world for the first time that Montana
has enough oil to attract new refiners.
We have received letters from people
in cities east and west, making inquiry
regarding the possibility of investment
ahead of the drilling boom which they
expect will follow the building of new
refineries. Outsiders seem to see even
more clearly the future of the Montana
oil industry than those right in the field,
who have had a rather forlorn outlook
in recent weeks.
1t is generally conceded that with com
pletion of the more important refining
units now contemplated that practically
every producer in the state will have
to start cleaning out his wells and there
after do continuous drilling to keep
up his production. The man who has
100 barrels of potential production today
and who contracts to sell this 100 bar
rels per day cannot sit idle. The natur-
al decline of his wells under capacity
production will necessitate further drill
ling.
Kevin7sunburst and Cut Bank opera
tors are today signing up their present
production and pledging the reserves
under their present acreage to insure
building of permanent refineries. But
they are signing these contracts with
the mental reservation that there is
plenty of additional acreage to be had
in both fields which can be subsequently
acquired to expand their production and
increase their income from other sources,
should additional markets become avail
able.
Thus there is a prospect for the first
time in many years for an operator to
acquire new acreage and drill wells

Immediately The report is valuable to
any who wants to formulate an intelli-
gent outlook for the coming years.
At the same time we enclosed, for
part of our members, statement of the
holdings of one of our number who pas
sed away recently. The appraisers asked
us for a statement of his account He
was a relatively new member, having
joined us during 1888. He had invested
around S3,400 before his untimely pas
sing. We were interested to find that
his "active" properties had grown to a
value of $6,S40, allowing nothing for the
undeveloped properties, and our estimate
of the ultimate yield of the developed
properties, based on conservative engin-
eering figures, was $2S,SOO.
In these days when it is hard to make
money-when people are glad to buy
bonds which pay 2 n and per cent
it is interesting that an investor, who
has never seen Montana and who was
living more than 1900 miles away from
Montana oil fields, could build up such
a set of properties which, incidentally,
had already paid out better than 800
of their cost and development has scarce
ly begun. Only one of his properties
has had more than two wells drilled.
That farm has thus far yielded 1853 ,843,-
9S-an average of s11.05 for 1 % royalty
per acre. One per cent royalty has paid
$3,53S.43. 1t is just one-Hhird developed
This gives some idea what his other
properties will yield him against an aver
age investment OF $3.50 per cent per
acre.
It points out that with the develop
ment we can feel is at hand, a lot of
money is to be made by SOMEONE
That someone is the owner of royalties
on lands where drilling and sale of
production is to occur. Just ahead of
that program, the present offers perhaps
the greatest opportunities since the days
of the beginning of Cut Bank field. which
was at the Glow of the great depression.
We will be glad to send these two in
teresting publications to any member,
active or inactive, or to new members
who send in the initial fee of 81.

wondered If she had ever been
really in love. For, she told me,
she wasn't ever in love with Alexis
Mdivani, but I thought that be-
tween Barbara and Kurt was an
understanding, an affection, a
companionship.
Many people in London thought
that they were too settled" He
tried to hold her with too tight q
remand Barbara had always
been free, headstrong, insistent
upon her own way.
He was not popular with the gay
London set. He wanted the more
formal social surroundings which
they might win in time, not "these
charming people" of the interna-
tional crowd. He had great social
ambitions. which Barbara didn't
really share.
None Of that worried me.
But there was one disquieting
rumor which came from those who
knew the situation well. The
count was a comparatively poor
man when he married the dollar
princess. He had no fortune Of
his own at all.
Since he had married Barbara
he had developed, they said, a
passionate love of money, more
and more he was attempting to
control Barbara'S vast wealth, he
did not approve her million-do
a-year gifts to charity, he was
gradually taking her money out
Of America and investing it in
Europe, where he could handle it
entirely.
All that, once it dawned upon
Barbara, would be the one sure
thing that could destroy her trust,
the one sure end Of all her happi-
ness and contentment.
To understand that we have to
go back to Barbara's birth, to her
mothers death, to a motherleSs
little girl who when she was only
II years old became one Of the
richest heiresses in the world. A
sensitive, rather shy little girl,
who never knew a real home.

of Barbara Hutton's charities, her
enormous gifts to the poor, will be

Perhaps Barbara Hutton was

that she had made another mis-

the obscure Danish nobleman she
had married wasn't, after all. the

But I don't believe it. It has
been my business for many years
to Judge people with whom I
talk, to have a toucnstone inside
myself as to their truth. And I
believe that then Barbara was
happy-was sure.
What destroyed that peace and
