through these adjustments and those who
devote their time to crying are soon left
out The man who Is alert and a close
student OF the oil industry can make
money. The driller who refuses modern
equipment Is soon a forgotten man. The
refiner who does not constantly change
his plant TO manufacture types OF motor
fuel suitable FOR modern motors is
quickly out OF business. But the oil
industry goes steadily on, making the
greatest fortunes in history for the stall
wart souls who are brave enough and
alert enough to carry on
OF all the forms Of investment in this
great Industry we of this organization
have chosen landowners royalties Roy
a1ties are the share OF the oil that be-
long to the landowner. Royalty oil is
delivered free of cost Of production in
payment for the right to enter upon and
prospect land for oil. We buy a part
of the landowners rights. sharing with
him both the risk and me profits. Since
none can see into the ground, we must
take q risk, as in every other form of
investment, only the human element is
largely removed Mother Nature de-
posted the oil in the ground millions
Of years ago. If the oil is under a tract
on which we buy royalty we may make a
fortune. If il IS NOT there, then the
money invested in that particular royalty
is lost But the wise royalty investor
buys more than one royalty and by one
successful venture wipes out perhaps five
or more unsuccessful investments.
The thing the royalty investor needs is
thorough understanding of what is
going on in the petroleum world. He
learns that times of DEPRESSION are
the time Of greatest opportunity Be
cause Cut Bank oil field was developed
in the depth of the depression years it
offered greatest opportunity to investors
During the past year we have had
parallel situation owing to the loss of the
Canadian market. Those who have no
grasp OF the oil industry as a whole DE
came discouraged. They felt that be-
cause their market was restricted or lost
that royalties are no longer a profitable
investment On the contrary. the wise
investor has taken advantage of that
psychology 10 buy CHEAP royalties dur
ing these discouraging months buying
royalties at q fraction of the cost dur
ing times when the market is booming.
So the past year has been one of great
opportunity. 1t is indeed a Merry Christ
mas for those who hays grasped the
We look forward to a New
Year when we will begin to reap the
benefits from wise investments made
Turing the 1888 depression in the
Montana oil industry. History will mark
his year as one when great personal
ortunes were built up from small in
estments.

drin three miles into the depths Of the
earth and send our bits down into the
waters Of the ocean and the Gulf to
find this marvellous fluid. Once the
kerosene lamps seemed wonderful. That
was the principal use we found for this
curious liquid. Today there are humid
reds OF products where formerly there
was just this one. Where q single extra
barrel OF oil upset the markets and des-
troyed the price, today it takes millions
OF barrels OF petroleum to satisfy the
Unsuitable thirst of the world and its
machines. few men were enough to
man the oil wells Of the world rs years
ago. Now millions produce, transport.
refine and market the contributions OF
unnumoered wells.
We have made available even in re-
mote sections the essential products OF
petroleum. In darkest Africa, in the
heart OF China, along the steppes OF
Russia. amid the ice OF Siberia and
among the islands of the sea. gasoline.
kerosene and lubricants are available
while in our own land, service stations
dot all our highways and back roads
We have made available TO the poorest
this most valuable product at a price

rled science over the top Of the world
and around the bottom. If service
should be the watchword of business
then we have exemplified a type Of ser
vice an economy OF operation and a
remarkable degree Of efficiency at a price
that is counted in pennies.

Sometimes those conflicts resulted in
what was the equivalent OF industrial
warfare. Sometimes it brought about
compromises and modes of cooperative
effort for the good OF all The highly

The refinery contended the gaso-
line produced contained more than

ed excess sulphur be eliminated.
The opinion said evidence showed
the excess sulphur could be removed
but it was not economically prac-
teal TO do so because the loss in
treating would amount 10 20 per
cent in gasoline. and the treating
would reduce the anti-knoek value
Of the gasoline.

cracking, under these new and ex-
pensive conditions of drilling, gaso-
line prices would be considerably
higher
The cracking process produces
substances other than gasoline.
Immense quantities of substances
having molecules smaller and diff
ferent from the molecules OF gaso-
line are formed in the cracking pro-
cess. Science is unable TO smash
all the molecules into one or two
sizes. The action is somewhat SINH
lar to that OF a stone crusher. Most
everyone has seen a crusher work

bituminous roads found in every
section OF the United States The
big rocks 90 into the jaws OF the
crusher and are smashed into small
Ter stones. which are screened into
piles according to their size.
The smaller molecules coming
from the cracking process. usually
gaseous, are now being used to pro-
duce hundreds OF chemical COM
pounds that go in the production
of a myriad articles entering into
our daily life. Utilization for these
petroleum substances has brought
into existence new chemical indus
tries. The lighter moleculed COM
pounds from petroleum products
provide a veritable treasure chest of
chemical building blocks, and liter
ally thousands of substances are be-
ing produced from them by the
magic of modern science. Perfumes.
medicines, alcohol, detergents. sol
vents, lacquers, plastics. rubber.
glycerine as we'll as hundreds of
intermediate substances used in or
ganic synthesis, are derived from
petroleum.

see a demand for oil greater than
the field can produce and drilling
