Great Singer
Wins Acclaim

Acclaimed by Toscanini as the
greatest living contralto and her
aided by the music lovers of the
nation as the greatest of all con-
cert artists, Marian Anderson ap-
peared before house filled to
capacity Thursday evening. Hun
dreds were turned away from the
Temple theater. where the concert
was held under the auspices OF the
Tacoma Civic Music association
many who had waited two years
for her return engagement.
Included in Miss Andersons
repertoire were number of the
old classics: Il group by contempt
rary composers, among which
"Rivets' by Cohen and The Girl
the Boys All Love by Miss An
derson's own accompanist. Kosu
Vehanen. were particularly out
standing. and a group of well loved
Negro spirituals.
Miss Anderson's remarkable
range. with its fun organ-like tone.
was perhaps best illustrated in her
presentation of Schubert's immor-
tai Ave Marie" Her volume con-
troll was remarkably displayed in
this number as il was in her rem
dition of A Bruno Nestiti" by
Carissimi which featured the eN-
ceptionally rich. low tones of her
voice.
Outstanding were the aria Cas-
Ia Diva from Norma" by Bel
lini which displayed the great
strength OF her voice. and the
group of Negro spirituals. which
Miss Anderson sang with delicacy
and feeling.
Refusing to leave, the audience
called Miss Anderson back time
and time again TO sing the encores
among which were the capricious
Cuckoo" and the popular
Coming Through the Rye"

crude prices stay down, we viii all know
that it is a case of attempted homicide
on the part of the OVERWHELMINGLY
a determination to kill off the smaller
producers.
Whether Harry Sinclair fOresaw this
hOmicidaI intent, seeing lower gasoline
prices and higher crude prices coming
to ruin the smaller units of the industry,
remains TO be seen. 1t was generally
talked in June that the continued orderly
regulation of the industry would surely
mean an INCREASE i'm the price of crude
before fall. Had it not been for Sim
clair's move is it possible that the crude
price increase would have come, in spite
of lowered gasoline prices?
However, the shutdown WILL create
a healthy situation in the national oil
picture. Montana could not be benefit
ted by a shutdown, nor any of the other
western states which do not figure In the
MidcOntinent market. But Montana will
surely benefit by the resulting higher
prices both for refined products and for
crude oil, should prices be Increased
On top of all this comes the war situ-
alton. We saw the price of oil go to
$3.50 per barrel during the last war.
We know that war planes and battle
ships of England, Germany France and
Italy are today using American crude and
refined products. To carry ON a modern
warfare they must have this American
crude and gasoline.
If war comes-and this statement may
sound silly by the time 1t is i'm print
will war demand not force every OH
well back on production?
These situations are not worked out
over night. 1t has required years to
work out the problem Of Montana crude
markets. 1t takes a man of foresight
and nauence to make money I'm a situa.
ton like this one. But the time has ar
rived here i'm Montana when we can see
every factor pointing to the conclusion
that the next few years viii be the years
of greatest opportunity in the Montana
oil industry.
Amy man who contempIates buying oil
leases should do so NOW, while leases
can be had.
Amy man who has been waiting for
a market before drilling a well should
do so NOW, while drilling costs are at
depression" low.
Any man who seeks royalty invest
ments that will give him a maximum
yield must do so NOW, before Montana
royalty prices go up to fair normally"
A study of the possibilities for royalty
investment in Montana today may mean
a fortune to an intelligent investor.
