1t seems unlikely that many
grandfathers have taught their
granddaughters to dance, but one
has been discovered. The grand

coached her in dance routines from
the time she could toddle, but did
such good job of it that she Is

and Mary Jane have been entertain
ing as a pair for two years, appear
ing on the stage and singing on the

dances at the last two Presidents
birthday anniversary balls and have
won about eight cash prizes in am

Elynor and Mary Jane met at

ager was trying to find some one to

children's program on an Easter

the girls voices went beautifully

Elynor is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Matthew Johnston, and goes
into the eighth grade at Nativity
School this fall. She was born in
Pittsburgh, but has lived in WASH

now dead, had dancing school in
Pittsburgh and taught would-be
actors and actresses the clog and
other dances popular in his youth.
An apt pupil, Elynor made her debut
as a dancer at Pittsburgh theater

is an expert at tap dancing and toe

he could make more money than the roy
atty would earn, by investment in anoth-
er property In our experience, the great
est successes have come from investment
AHEAD OF THE DRILL, rather than
from purchase of royalties already paying
a large rate of return.
To buy royalty HEAD OF THE DRILL
means visualZng the possibilities OF the
future by the results of the past. The man
who once lost 500 in the oil business
can never offset that loss and make a
profit without making another invest
ment. If he has not learned HOW TO
MAKE MONEY by his loss, he is a
double loser Tremendous fortunes will
be made in the oil industry in Montana
in the future, the fortunes and the fall
ures of the past Notwithstanding. We
know the way in which many of these
fortunes have been made We know how
to avoid some of the factors which made
failures The greatest fortunes have to
be based on the valuable experience
mostly failures-of the past
The man who will devote a little of
his time and energy to the study of the
Montana oil industry of today and its pos
sibilities of tomorrow can make for
himself a stable income in the future.
Only through intelligent understanding
can anyone be assured of making money
in any line of endeavor and royalties are
no exception.
To intelligent investors we commend
the service of this organization in pro-
viding competent information regarding
current developments which combine to
offer opportunity for profit making. This
involves understanding geology. modern
geophysical prospecting methods and
soil analysis for location of possible oil
pools; Of the market situation. in its
rapidly changing outlook; of acidization
and other modern operating methods
We try to keep our members fully inform
ed on all of these subjects, not in great
detail, but to keep them abreast of the
times. This week we issued a publication
pointing out a situation where a drilling
well will soon terminate the chances for
realization of a large return. Unable to
supply our mem bers with royalty we
urged them to capitalize the information
any way possible, possibly through their
ability to find royalties not to us a.
valuable. 1t is a question of our members

HERITAGE OF THE GCK AND
OTHER PIONEERS

Then they saw the development of Pom
dera and after that the development of
Cut Bank. They had all the facts. They
knew from experience the type of invest
ments that make the most money. They
knew the location of each pool with re-
lation to the discovery well; knew some
thing of the peculiarities of the produc-
ing formations; knew the operators from
having learned of them, one by one, as
they came into the field. Yet this ex-
perience, this college education" meant
only a warning not to make further in
vestment.
We mentioned the GCK group by
chance. We might have named the stock
holders of a half dozen pioneering com
panies which took the long risks of ear
ly day drilling. The GCK people have
their interest in the holdings which were
saved from the wreckage of the syndicate
and incorporated in a new company. They
may yet make a profit on their invest
ment, but many of them have lost more
than their original investment through
their failure to CAPITALIZE their exper
fence.
This came forcefully to our attention
this week when a stakeholder in the old
GCK came to our office to make inquiry
about the corporation which succeeded
the syndicate He paid FOUR TIMES
money in drilling the frs well. He was
one of those who refused to risk his
money in drilling the first well. He was
Ito smart for that. Instead he waited
until the Campbell well came in. Believ-
ing that he was playing a sure thing,
he paid some smart unitholders four-to-
one on the investment.
This disgruntled investor announced
that he was fed up on the oil business"
and told why. He could see only the fail
ure of the past. He was positive in his
own mind that none had made or could
make any money in Kevin-Sunburst. He
was quite surprised to learn that royalty
owners, alone, had received nearly four
and a half million dollars He immedi-
ately recalled how he had refused to in
vest in royalties in the East side of the
field He knew all about the Irving Ba-
ker farm, the Byrne farm and Others
when the big wells came in,
couldn't buy any royalty" he said
Which statement again offers guidance
on investments If a man cannot anti
cipate success, he cannot achieve sue
cess. 1t is possible that one man will win
a fortune and then turn it over to some
one else, but we have never seen it done
Success goes to the man who takes the
risk. Any man who has sold his produc-
ing royalties at a great sacrifice in our
experience, has been one who was driven
by circumstances to sell his ROYALTIES
to save something he considered more val
liable; else he has sold in the belief that

fact that it had trouble in getting

- OST lawyers are reputed to be
~ poor business men and while
there are many exceptions to
this rule, the rule is said to be quite
well established by the exceptions And
the reason for this rule is the fact that
the lawyers entire training is in LOOK
ING BACKWARD This education en-
phasizes the PAST. He is carefully taught
NOT to look ahead. He can not visual
ize the FUTURE except in the stark, life
less outline of the past.
This rule brings to mind the fact that
the men who have made the greatest
fortunes have been in many instances
highly visionary. They CLEAN from the
past the possibilities of the future and
build thereon. Many times we think that
they do not display good Judgment, in
their enthusiasm But when they have
made fortunes, we decide that they must
have had more information out of the
past than had the other investors.
The one man carefully studies the his
tory of an industry and concludes that
there is due to be a greater demand for
the products of that industry than the
likely production. He looks forward to
that day of profit in making his invest
ments and then waits patiently.
The other man can see back along
the paths of time only the carcasses of
business failure He determines to avoid
in the future the possibilities of the fail
ures of the past AS an example, the rich
est investors in Kevin-Sunburst field
should be the original Gordon Campbell
Kelvin Syndicate stockholders They fur
nished the money with which the Camp
bell discovery well was drilled They had
a right to pin their faith in the stocks
they purchased but because that syndi-
cate failed was no sign that their chances
for money-making should have been a
bandoned. The syndicate DID fail to
make them the fortune they hoped for
At the same time, these investors were
in the most advantageous position of all
to make fortune for themselves. oddly,
few of them we know have made a great
deal of money. They were fully apprais-
ed of the history of development of the
field. They saw the development shift
from the West Side to the East side of
the field, back and forth, while great
gushers came in right and left. All the
time these GCK stockholders saw others
making fortunes, as the possibilities of
the field unfolded Any or all of them
could have bought royalty here and
there, eapitalizing the information at
hand, and made many times their in
vestment in the pioneer syndicate.
Many of these people watched 9TH
Frs collect over eleven million dollars
in royalties, without sharing any of it.
They saw new people come into the field
years after the pioneering was done, and
buy royalties which have made fortunes

Administration Program
For Control OF Industry

The measures of federal control
that the oil industry must combat,
are outlined by the National Re
sources Committee" report recently
prepared for the president. The
committee proposed:
The federal Government has pow
er to regulate the oil and gas in
dustries under the interstate com
merce and national defense clause
of the Constitution.
A federal oil conservation board
should be erected with power to es-
tablish minimum standards for the
production of oil moving into in
terstate commerce.
The Connally hot oil" law should
be extended until such time as. per-
manent federal legislation can be
enacted.
More rigorous state oil conser-
walton laws should be enacted, to
be coordinated with federal regula-
ton.
State legislation should terminate
the law Of capture and substitute
the law of ownership in place and
require unit operation OF all oil
pools.
There should be no tariff duty
or import tax on petroleum pro-
ducts.
Naval oil reserves should be con-
solidated and resurveyed.
The federal Government should
assert ownership of submerged oil
and gas reserves underlying all coas-
tai waters.
