rotary bit penetrated the Madison lime
in this area We have long heard the
theory that rotary bits could not cut
the hard lines of the Madison in Nom
tana because they are so hard and so
tightly compressed. These theorists say
that there are hard shells that "even
cable tools can scarcely penetrate" We
will watch the Dupuyer test with con-
siderable interest on this one factor
alone.
Should the Standard find ANY oil at
DupIsyer, it would doubtless precipitate
a search for ''anOther Turner Valley
along the 800 miles of Overthrust of the
Rocky Mountains south of Turner Valley.
This folding was accomplished by Mother
Nature In one fell swoOp, without regard
to Canadian customs rulings or Ameri-
excise taxes. Similar formations,
laid down by the same oceans and upend-
ed and torn by the same forces happen
today TO be found ON both sides of the
theoretical CanadianrAmerican border,
but extending some 400 miles along the
face of the Rockies. Does it seem prob
able that In this 400 miles there should
be but one oil field?
second well starting for the Devon
ian is that now drilling at Pendr0y where
I'm our estimation, would be the compile
ton of 5O-baFrel well at the top of the
Madison lime. This well win otherwise
be carried ON down to the DevoniaB,
giving ms the first test ever drilled In
the Sweetgrass Arch TO a known high
revealed by geoplsysical survey. IL
may not strike oil. Its presence close
to q known major fault Is sufficient to
make this location highly probiematicaI.
However, IL viii have demonstrated a
second important factor: that the Devon
ian is the logical objective for any well
on structure that misses production at
the top of the Madison lime.
We are carefully watching these devel-
Opments. They are of tremendous im-
pOrtance to the investor. These wells
may completely change the investment
opportunities of the Montana oil industry.
We are issuing special publications 20
cur members keeping them informed
of every pertinent fact, that they may be
sufficiently informed to take advantage
of any discoveries. No royalty investor
can afford TO be without this information
service. The cost of membership In
this organization which provides these
publications is only 81.

Of Water
Asked

U.N.S.) President Roosevelt
sent to Congress today a compre.
hensive report outlining a sxi.year
plan for conservation and de-
velopment of the nations water
resources.
The report, titled drainage
basin problems and programs"
was prepared by the national re.
sources committee working with
other federal agencies. A presi.
Dental veto message rejected last
August a, joint resolution which
in effect would have made the
War Department the. national
planning agency for water re-
sources.
WIDE SURVEY
The report, said the President
in a special message, was based
upon findings Of Is joint State
Federal basin committees, com.
posed Of more than 500 local,
State and Federal officials. The
drainage basin committees met in
the Field and each drafted plans
for individual areas.
"Ths proposals in the report"

veys and construction Of irrigo.
ton, flood control, navigation,
rural wtaer supply, wild life con-
Servation, beach erosion control,

water projects"
ASKS CAREFUL STUDY
Mr.. Roosevelt Recommended
careful study Of the report by
Congress and described the docu.
ment as a sensible approach to
the Systematic husbandry of our
natural resources on a democratic,
regional basis"
While the broad outlines Of the
program enviSioned q Six-year
span for completion, the President
said the time limit was flexible
and could be either extended or
reduced as Congress and budg-
etary limitations dictated.
