II our foresight were as good our
hindsight, there is not one who reads
these lines who could not make fortune
for himself in the next few years.
Our hindsight tells us that during the
last nine years more than fifty million
dollars worth of oil has been taken from
the producing oil fields OF Montana, de-
plotting their reserves while building up
large, permanent market. During that
nine years, no new fields have been
discovered: no new reserves have been
found to offset the Withdrawals.
Our foresight tells us that more oil
reserves MUST be found TO take care
of this market in years to come. We
know that new reserves will be found
by three methods:
1. The extension of the present limits
of producing fields.
2. BY deeper drilling in present pro-
ducing fields.
3. BY discovery Of new oil fields in
new areas.
Knowing this, we know that some
great fortunes are to be made in the
future. The daily refinery demand for
oil in Montana is greater by far than
at any time before in history. 1t is
growing, year by year. The daily runs
of crude petroleum MUST increase TO
keep up this demand.
Out of every 100 barrels of oil pro-
duced, 1917 barrels is delivered free of
cost of production to the landowners or
their assigns, known as royalty investors.
More than $12,OOO,OOO in cash has
been paid to Montana royalty owners
thus far We know that at the present
rate of consumption, the next $12,OOO,OOO
will be paid to royalty owners much
faster than was the first twelve million.
Our hindsight tells us that If we had
only bought all the royalties on the
Baker HOwling Swears and Bruins
farms, could have had One-eighth of
the millions of dollars yielded by that
prolific pool.
tell-tale factors which actually fOretOld
the BalSer-HOwIing pool, we could have
all made fortunes. The "signs" were
there but our hindsight did not provide
us with the necessary facts to provide
foresight"
Neither could we grasp the signifi-
canoe OF the same guiding factors which
appeared ahead of the development of
the great Fulton Rice pool. Even "Bill''
Fulton announced that he was going
to content himself with ''ten barrel
wells when he went into the area. We
all thought that this was edge" terri
tory and that 1O-barrel wells .wOuld be
the rule. So it is not surprising that
we did not know enough to blanket that
area with royalty purchases.
Had our foresight been good at that
time, we might have shared upward of
"A million dollars for ourselves, with little
cash outlay, because the royalties of
that pool have paid greatly in excess of
million dollars and will pay much more.

HOUSE DEBATES
AMENDMENTSTO'
CONSUMPTION
ACTION ON VOTE LOOKED
FOR BY WEDNESDAY OF
THIS WEEK; LEGISLATORS
OBSERVED LABOR DAY
GB< Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Full-
time debates are going forward
on the floor of the House of Rep
reSentatives, on the pending
Burke Wadsworth CONSUMPTION
bill as passed by the Senate ten
days ago and forwarded to the
House for action.
It IS expected now that the
vote, in its favor, will come pos
sibly by Wednesday afternoon of
this week, as debates were being
restricted to minimum length.
This. it was pointed out. would
come within the presidential de-
mand TO approve CONSUMPTION
legislation within two weeks :.
He made the request on Satur-
day. August "a.
Major debating topic of the day
on the CONSUMPTION bill was
whether or not to include draft
ing of industry measures in the
bill. and whether to raise the
draft-age limit from the Senate'S
81 years to IS years. 1t was
thought possible that the House
will add some restricting meas
ure on industry when final pass
age comes.
Drafting of industry has been
seriously criticized by Republican
presidential candidate Wendell
Willkie, whC stated last weekend
that the measure contemplated
would act as a direct insult to
business which previously, had
made all proper assurances Of its
desire to cooperate with the de-
Tense program
Several House members. how
ever, stated their belief that
there was need for legislation
that would force recaltritant in
dustries In line following asser-
tons of lack of desire to fulfill
governmental mandates to turn
plants over for construction Of
ornaments.

LONDON. Sept. 3.-The first

appear bent on digging in for an
other year or two of conflict in
the effort to force either totaIi-

As if pointing out their de-

of this week. with characteristic
reports of successes.
Britain, on the other hand. re-
ported that their defenses were
holding UP and that there was no
danger of cracking of morale
following the fierce onslaughts
met during the last two days.
Hundreds of German bombers
again appeared over Britain this
morning and continued to spread
destruction and loss of life in
several sectors of this nation.
Concentration OF planes on an
attack over this capital city was
attempted early today, but de-
Tending anti-airCraft batteries
and Spitfire planes broke up
most of the enemy formations
before the central portion of the
city was reached.
Three hundred planes were
said to have been in the flight
approaching this city today. leav-
ing as many aircraft on the coast
