OIL PAYS TEXAS
FOLKS BILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR

Contributions Of the petroleum
industry to the total income OF
Texas in 1888 exceeded $1,000
100000 almost double the cash
value of all the agricultural crops
and all the livestock produced in
the state and an average of S175
for each of the 5000. 900 residents
of the state. The largest item of
income. according to the survey
was s51O,O0O.OOO for crude-oil pro-
duction and purchases. About
$3.50. 100000 was invested in Texas
in drilling. production, refining and
marketing equipment. A pay roll
of S1S5.000.0OO was distributed by
the oil companies operating in
Texas. and landowners from whose
land about 500 100000 barrels of
crude oil were produced received
about S65,00O,OOO in royalties in
addition to an undetermined a
mount in leases, rentals, and bonus
payments.

ROYALTY INCOME
GREATEST BOON
TO new MEXICO

Pointing out the worth Of the oil
industry to the state of New Mexi-
co, w. r. Boyle, Jr., of New York,
vice president of American Petro-
leum Institute said:
Royalty payments on New Mex
icO's oil bring to land owners more
money each year than is obtained
by planting, cuItivating, harvesting,
storing. and selling the states lar
gest farm crop. Corn produces
about s2.5OO.OO0 a year; oil royal
ties amount to some $3,500,O00. In
fact the income from oil royalties
alone is equivalent about to one
third of the cash income received
by New Mexicos farmers from all
they produced with the single ex-
ception of livestock. And it may in
terest those farmers to know that
these oil royalties bring into the
state nearly twice as much money
as AAA farm benefit payments.
Certainly New Mexico's interest
in the great American petroleum
industry transcends the academic.
Here is a direct, economic, money
in-the-pocket participation in the
proceeds of private enterprise as APP
piled to industrial operations. To
be specific. the value of one years
output of crude oil from New Mex
ico's wells amounts to an income of
SPAS for each family in the state
And perhaps lit should be pointed
out that the people of New Mexico
never have been asked to subsi-
die through tax payments or in
any other way the capital invest
ment which had to be made before
they could share the income This
is no unimportant fact to consider
in these days of governmental
spending. of forcing states to match
federal expenditures, and otherwise
TO tap the family pocketbook.

through catalytic cracking. Further
more this new fuel will give nearly twice
the number of miles per gallon of motor
performance.
All these increased efficiencies seem
to give an Over-supply, yet it is strange
fact that the demand for petroleum pro-
ducts has increased steadily and is great
er this year than ever before I'm history.
Except for the work of scientists there
would be a shortage of oil today. AS
it is, there is no danger that a substitute
will be quickly developed that win dis
place petroleum products as motor fuel.
If the price had gone steadily up and the
supply begun to diminish, there would
be armies of scientists working on SUBJ
stitutes, but there is no such menace of
the petroleum market today.
Here in Montana the situation has
never been better. If we are correctly
informed, there is no excea of oil in
either Cut Bank or Kevin-Sunburst to-
day. Unless there is some additional
drilling, there is not enough oil in sight
to supply the refineries now operating
building. This can mean only one
thing: prosperity for oil producers and
in turn for royalty owners.
The man who has enough knowledge
of the basic oil business viii recognize
that the industry furnishes the safest
today.
The man who Is fortunate enough to
know about the rapidly changing situa-
tiOn in Montana will recognize that the
present opportunities are the greatest
in the history OF the Montana oil industry.
The man who has a general idea of
royalty values will be able to make
more money, we believe, in the purcha
of landowners royalties than in any other
branch of the industry.
III he is able to realize that royalty
investments are merely the PURCHASE
OF OIL IN UNDERGROUND STORAGE,
which oil is TO be sold, later on, at
profit, the investor can surely make some
money by inteIligentEy spreading the i'm
veStment of a few hundred dollars.
Greatest profits go to these who an
ticipate development and buy royalties in
the trend of drilling.
1t is our business to keep our menu
bers informed regarding developments
and pending developments which afford
these opportunities.
Our current publication reveals a drill
ling program which win have an import
ant influence on royalty purchases dur
ing the next few months. Such infOr-
nation may lead to q fortune from a
relatively mall observation-disclosures the
drilling develop the large production the
interested operators expect.
This publication may be had upon
inquiry. To those desiring to make
royalty investments we will gladly send
formal offering sheets.

April production in the state was
496.169 barrels and refinery runs
totaled 315,252 barrels, resulting
in a gain in storage The Kelvin
field showed the greatest gains in
storage, having produced 140,S24
barrels of oil against $685. bar
rels run to stills during April. Dur
ing the months of February, March
and April total production in Kew
in is 36O,223 barrels against re-
finery runs of 355,909 barrels, de-
spite the low April runs TO Mon
tana stills. In addition. considerable
oil was shipped out so that the gross
market for Kelvin during the three
months was 390,194 barrels or
nearly 10000 barrels more than
the total production for that field.
Cut Bank production in April
was 2SO,334 barrels against 267,-
4O6 barrels during March. Refin-
cry consumption was 176,7O4 bar
rels but this with exports, includ-
ing 62,882 barrels to Washington
and Idaho. brought April market
demands up to 24O,451 barrels.
For the first time this year Pom
dera sold more oil than it produced,
yielding 23.102 barrels in April
with 27,337 barrels sold.
In the entire state the produc-
ton was 496,169 barrels for the
month and the market 394,952 bar
rels. Storage oil on April 80 has
grown to 1,422,2S2 barrels against
1921, 066 Dbl. in March 81 and
1,32S,362 Dbl. on Feb. 2S.

Dear Editor:
A driller just returned from Illi-
nois and told me a story that you
should have.
It appears that in Illinois in the
old days they did not lay out roads
along section and quarter section
lines and as a result the major
companies in their leasing cam
paigns forgot in many cases to
lease what they call in ILL.,, road al
lowances. AS it turned out these
road allowances were taken in fee
and as a consequence the person that
had a road allowance owned the
mineral under such allowance. AS
you no doubt know this oversight
on the part Of the land department
of the major oil companies has

Alexandria Homes
Tour Promises to
Interest Many

The April days following Easter
will be busy ones, but should be

Pre-revolutionary and Federal
houses, the homes of patriots,
statesmen and heroes, whether built
of bonded brick or clapboard, stand
as relics of the Nations great. In
and out of these houses have passed
men who made the history Of Amer
lea, washington, Lee, Mason, Lafay-
cite, Rochambeau, Carlyle, Fairfax
and many others. This was Gen.
Washington's home town, and
Charles Callahan says, Leaving
out all others. the connection and
association of Washington alone
would be sufficient to make the city
one of the popular shrines of Amer
ica."
Washington received his mail and
voted in Alexandria, and from here
was sent as representative to the
General Assembly in Williamsburg

his first command, bade farewell
to his last. He was member of the
town council, he surveyed its streets,
established its fire department and
