More He'll!

"The more hell we raise, the
more we will get" That's the Opin-
ion of one of Americas most
famous Negro writer's, Roy Will
kins, now of New York, a former
st. Paul boy who is acknowledged
as one of the Negroes best minds.
His article of the A. F. of LIS
attitude toward Negro workers is
reproduced on page two of this
paper.

raised to 5000 when he filed
notice of an appeal to the U. S.
Supreme Court after a second ap-
peal to the U. s. Circuit Court of
Appeals.
Neal was convicted two years ago
of being accessory after the fact in
a felony committed by his brother,
John L. Neal, veteran 500 Line r.
r. employee, who was supposed to
have stolen in excess of 500, 900
from the r. r. and the First Ma
tional Bank. Squire Neal appealed
his conviction to the Court of APP
peals and a new trial was granted
him.
At the second trial he was again
convicted but the jury suggested
leniency for him. Judge Robert
Bell gave him a more severe SEN
tence than the one he received from
Judge Gunnar Nordbye at the first
trial.
Neal again took his case to the
Circuit Court of Appeals and two
months ago that court upheld the
lower courts decision. When he
announced his intention to go to the
Supreme Court his bail was in
creased.
The business man is reputed to
have spent $4,000 fighting the
case and it was known several
weeks ago that he was about at the
end of his financial endurance.
A group of Twin Citians dis
cussed the possibility of helping
him raise money to carry the case
to the highest courts. This plan
evidently fell through and Monday
he. surrendered.
His wife was finally able to OBJ
tain a security bond for $1,000 but
Judge Bell insisted upon cash bail.
He finally consented to take under
advisement acceptance of the secur-
ity bond. He was to give his deci-
sion Thursday.
If the jurist turns-dOwn this last
request Neal win probably be COM
mitted to prison this week.
Mrs. Neal said, Wednesday, that
the business would be continued re-
CARELESS of the outcome of the new
developments.

SAYS WALTER WHITE, SECRE-
TARY SAYS IN MAGAZINE.
Philadelphia, Pa, December IL
"From the man-power angle, the
largest defense headache ahead of
the United States Government is
likely to the status of that 10 per
cent of our population which is
Negro. The Negro insists upon do
ing his part, and the Army and
Navy want none Of him." writes
Walter White, Secretary of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People in the
current (Dec. 14) issue of The Sat-
urday Evening Post on sale now
at newsstands.
Charging wholesale discrimina-
lions in both the military and in
dustrial defense services, White
says that national Negro organiza-
tons such as his own have accumu-
lated files full of case records and
put the problem in the No. l posi-
ton on their fighting agenda.
Citing the unsuccessful efforts
that have been made to date, Mr..
White states, the Negroes
fight for the right to fight has only
started. 1t will continue till, all
along the line, Negroes receive
their fair share in the task of ma
tional defense"
In championing his cause vi"
Americas largest five-cent weekly
magazine, Mr.. White points out the
valor and courage of Negro troops
in past wars, and the physical fit
ness and intelligence of his race.
It is to be hoped that his thorough
discussion of this subject in The
Saturday Evening Post will be
widely read.

With one of our royalty settlement
checks from The Texas company this
month we received-as did scores ot
other royalty owners-a pamphlet en-
titled Buried Treasure, with sketch
showing the location of Fort Knox in
the center of the state of Kentucky.
Buried i'm underground vaults at
Fort Knox, Kentucky, the United
States has between a five and ten
billion dollar gold reserve" says
the text OF the pamphlet. "Oil
perhaps is not as dramatic as sub
iect as gold, but the figures for
this country's underground reserve
stock of oil are dramatic
I'm the ground, blocked out and
ready to be produced. our known
oil deposits now total more than
18 billion barrels.
This vast figure deserves special
emphasis. 1t shows that the quaa-
tity Of oil known TO be In Americas
underground treasury has doubled
in the last twenty years. This
country entered 1910 with an all
time record of known oil reserves
for the future"
There is a feeling OF security in in
vestment in underground reserves of oil
and gas because of the great stability
OF the petroleum industry, But on the
other hand, the vast reserves Of pet
roleum must be maintained to keep pace
with the growing uses of petroleum and
petroleum products. Present world con-
ditions emphasize this need at this time.
The oil industry has satisfactorily solved
the problem in the past and has provid
ed record quantity OF proven reserves
readily available to meet any emergency.
A study of oil reserves OF the past
shows that there is definite relation
between the quantity of reserves and the
price of crude. Based on the history
of the past IL years. there is a definite
relation This relationship, according to
the Independent Petroleum association,
shows that every 10 cents per barrel
change in the price of crude oil has been
accompanied by a change Of 500 million
barrels of discoveries per year. Two
years ago there was a general reduction
of about 20 cents per barrel in the price
of crude oil. Annual discoveries have
declined about 1900 million barrels
This is to be expected. Higher prices
stimulate and encourage exploration and
Lower prices has the OPP
posite effect.

situation reveals that during the first
six months of 1910 the United States

BURIED TREASURE-LIQUID ASSET

consumed more oil than was discOv-
cred. In other words, we made
draft on our known supply. This
reverses the trend of the past six
years. In addition to the decrease
in discoveries, reserves are in danger
of being lost through the premature
abandonment of wells which cannot
produce at subnOrmaI prices.
Applied to Montana, these facts point
out important possibilities to the in
vestor There has been no important
discovery and no commercial. oil fields
found in this state since 1881 when Cut
Bank came into comm ercial development
More than $4,000, 900 barrels of oil have
been withdrawn from the Montana re-
serves, with no new reserves to replace
them. The price of crude has been low,
giving little incentive to prospectors to
go out and find new reserves
AS certainly as day follows night
Montana is going to urgently need some
new reserves. How soon, none can say.
We saw the Turner Valley field soar to
great heights and everyone was conf
dent that its reserves were virtually un-
limited: that 1t could produce $4,000
barrels per day, If required. Then over
night it became apparent that the field
could not produce half that amount If
the proper gas-oil ratio were to be main
tanned. If the gas-oil ratio is not main
tanned. then the ultimate yield of the
field will fall off to a point where It
will be Improbable TO drill wells in the
future. Present wells might pay out
and pay a profit, but without adequate
gas pressure, wells of the future would
never pay out the $4,000 to 100000
costs per well.
So. here in Montana we are not at all
sure how long the present fields can keep
pace with refinery demands which are
now the highest in the history of the
Montana oil industry.
Were the national ratio of reserves
to oil prices observed here in Montana,
we could safely say that an increase in
the price of crude is coming. Certain
1t Is that If the Canadian market calls
upon Montana for any substantial amount
of oil, to carry on its war program, the
crude market will be stiffened and with
that will come better refined products
prices. 1t is a short step thereafter to
a better price for this crude.
To the man who can look into the
future, there is a world of opportunity
here in Montana. We know that new oil
reserves are needed. Somone is going
to make a tremendous fortune by an
ticipating that need. 1t will be done
either by ID the discovery of new oil
