years to come. royalty deed gives the
owner OIL IN UNDERGROUND STOR-
AGE That oil must be delivered to the
owner, free of cost of production, when
ever it is brought to the surface of the
ground.
We are very glad and proud to be
engaged in royalties. We believe royal
ties the cleanest, finest investment the
public can secure. They offer oppor-
tunity for a large speculative profit, on
the one hand, yet a careful investor can
so balance his purchases of producing
and proven royalties against more specu-
lative wildcat royalties, that he can have
security in his total investment, at all
times
The greatest profits have come to
those Of us who have, for the most part,
invested our money in oil lands IN FEE
SIMPLE. 1t has meant years of waiting,
in many Instances, but we have always
had the satisfaction of having a hand
in determining our own destiny: in
choosing our operators, anfording us a
profit on the lease as well as the steady
income on our royalties. If we do not
get the kind OF a deal we want, we can
well afford to wait until such time as
we CAN make the deal we want. Thus
we have no fear of losing our investment
or wasting our opportunities.
This conclusion comes from over IS
years Of experience in royalty buying. In
that time we have seen Montana roy
altyowners paid over THIRTEEN MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS. That is not much,
as compared with congressional appro-
priations, but we know OF no dividend
record in Montana to exceed that mark
in the same period
While the situation in the industry
gives US great satisfaction, there is q
greater satisfaction that comes to us at
this holiday season. This organization
which does this royalty buying has made
no fortune. The business of buying roy
alties and the business of caring for the
accounts of our members is not a divi-
dend-paying enterprise While the enter
prise pays no CASH dividends, 1t has
brought us the greater gift of fine
friends among our members. Some of the
members of our original group are still
buying royalties and each and every one
of them is today a warm friend
At the holiday season our hearts are
warmed by the friendly greetings of our
members and while we sometimes grow
discouraged, this time of year always
makes 1s grateful for our blessings. chief
OF which is the friendship of those with
whom we do business.
To each member may we say

For Our Members Only

@7M$2NN E know of no other group in
AHIAEA Montana that has received more
C&>% than three quarters of a million
dollars in dividends during the
past year. Royalties are paid, month
in and month out and year in and year
out in amounts proportionate to the
market demand and the ability Of the
operator to sell his OIL Oil is regarded
as the crop" of those landowners hay
ing lands on oil pools. They are deliy-
cred their share of the crop free of
cost of production.
The oil industry in Montana by no
means had boom in 1910. Many oper-
ators are still trying to overcome deficits
OF previous years when there was no
adequate market. The operators have
had far greater problems than have the
royalty owners whose chief complaint
has been that the price of oil was not
high enough and as a result, the oper-
ators have not produced as much oil as
they have with a greater demand How
ever. that is something in favor of the
royalty owner. No royalty owner wants
to sell his oil at 10 cents a barrel or so
cents barrel or at any other price less
than the cost of production. So IL the
operator does not produce the oil. the
royalty owners oil stays in the ground
UNTIL SUCH DAY AS THE PRICE GOES
UP.
Thus the law of supply and demand
always works to the advantage of the
royalty owner, especially sin pools which
are past flush production. The royalty
owner WANTS his oil kept in the ground
when the price is too low; he wants to
sell all that can be produced, when the
price is high And that is exactly what
the operator does for him.
In the past, those of us who have
extensive royalty holdings, have been
unwilling to see much oil produced and
sold at low prices. Low prices resulted
from the loss of the Canadian market
and the Cutting of the domestic market
The cheap oil brought about refinery
construction to a point where the refin-
cries are demanding more oil than the
fields can produce. That is the good
deed that the year 1910 did for us.
With market demand exceeding produc-
ton, there is little danger of any redue-
ton In crude prices and some of the
producers and refiners who have been
nasty with sellers of OIL including
royalty owners, may be saying please"
in the not distant future.
~ lucky is the man who has a few
a royalties hidden away in his Christ
E% mas stocking this year. The man
who has OIL FOR SALE is going to
be the luckiest man In the world. In

~ HE holiday season brings us to a
al halt in our planning and striving
~ and we take time for remembering
and giving, mingling our JOY and
gladness with serious retrospection over
the year just to determine whether we
have lived up to the good intentions ex
pressed at its beginning.
1t may be that the custom of Christ
mas spending is the factor which brings
the realization of our successes or our
failures. Is it not the Chinese plan to
pay all debts on or before the beginning
of the New Year? If we do not balance
our accounts for the purpose of deter
mining profit or loss because of any
psychological reason or because OF any
ancient custom, we are called upon by
law to do so, as Uncle Sam calls upon
us for a report on our income, for taxa
ton purposes.
Unfortunate is the man who has not
gotten ahead" this year, because it has
, been a year of great opportunity, espe-
cially in the oil industry. We have had
set-backs of one kind and another. There
is no industry in the world which does
not have a bunny surface, when chosen
as a highway to success. But the oil
industry has made steady gains, follow
ing years Oh uncertainty.
Royalty owners in Montana have no
complaint They have had the greatest
profits of any year since 1926, the peak
year in KeviD-Sunburst field In 1925,
Kelvin produced 6,457,217 barrels and
Cat Creek, the only other producing field
of consequence produced 1003.233 bar
rels-a total OF around 100000 barrels.
In 1899 the total production was
5,95S,S45 barrels The 1910 production
figures have been running steadily ahead
of the 1899 record and It will certainly
total well over 100000 barrels, mean
ing that the royalty owners will receive
$750,OOO.O0 or more for the year 1910.
That compares with $1,219,831 received
by royalty owners in 1926.
Despite the gain in production, Mon
tana crude oil markets increased faster
than production with a result that total
consumption exceeds total production
again this year In 1899 total consump-
ton was 6,1s4,255 barrels against g.
95S,S45 barrels of production. That
meant the use of storage oil. The
draining of storage tanks continued dur
ing the year 1910 with the result that
the year will end with no more storage
oil than ordinary refinery stocks.

Mrs. Thomas told Hattie she
was welcome to travel with her

vorite food was her own choco-
late bar which she consumed at
the rate of one bar each six

Hattie hiked along to Charles

eight weeks. She enjoyed her

was barred by Mrs. Thomas from

Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse was

Hattie, the hitch-hiking mouse
knew it was TO be a hard winter,
so she had travelled into Virginia
seeking a nice warm field. But
her knowledge was Inadequate,
for instead of a nice warm field
in Virginia, she found ice and
banks of snow.
One night early in February,
Hattie, atop a pile of snow, sat
on her launches, shifting the
frosty air. With delight she
scented warmth and food. A short
excursion brought her to wire,
up which she ran, and into this
place of warmth. She did not
fail to notice that this thing had
wheels and she hoped, secretly.
that it was moving south, to
warmer chimes. For Hattie was
a packers mouse and liked to
travel.
Hattie had hitched on with
Mrs. Grace II. Thomas and dog,
Scamp, of Tampa, Fla, travelling
in station wagon fitted up like
a trailer or house car
The little fawn-colored mouse,
who has extremely large ears
and a larger curiosity, became
quite tame over a short period of
time At first she came out of
her nest, under a bed cushion,
only when the lights were out.
Gradually, she became accustom-
ed to light, first the dim shaft
from the radio pilot light. then
the brightest bulb did not deter
her from her nocturnal business
Through the medium of radio
she became tanned to the human
voice and event a visitor talking
to Mrs. Thomas did not stop Hat
tie. One morning when Mrs.
Thomas awoke, there sat Hattie
on the edge of a cabinet, staring
at the woman and studying her
every move.
Good morning, what are you
thinking about Hattie?" whisper
ed Mrs. Thomas.
Hattie's reply, if she could
talk. might have been something
like this:

MEETS DEATH
BODY FOUND BESIDE RAIL
ROAD TRACKS IN LONDON
LAST NIGHT; ON WAY TO
COUNTRY FOR REST


LONDON, May 8.-Webb Mill
er, 48-year-old ace-reporter of
the United Press, died last night,
the victim of a strange and un-
accountable accident. His body
was found beside railroad tracks
In the southwest section of this
city shortly after 900 o'clock,
brief time after he had left the
metropolis for an announced
brief rest in the country follow
ing his final press report on the
debate held in Parliament yes
terday.
Miller had covered every ma.
Jor war scene of the world since
1916 when he first entered the
United Press ranks, and it was
estimated that in 50 doing he had
covered 100000 miles. One of his
first assignments was covering
of the General Pershing expedi-
ton against PanchO Villa and
one of his latest beats" was the
RuSSO-Finnish war.
A native CT Michigan, Miller
could call no place his home. as
his news stories required travels
to almost every country on earth.
BlackOuts in England were
blamed for the untin1efy death.
Police officials expressed the
opinion that he stepped off
moving train before it had come
to a stop, misjudging the speed
because of the intense darkness.
