The latter has been a great deterrent
to prosperity in the oil industry over the
whole nation. Illinois oil has displaced
a tremendous amount of Midcontinent
and Texas crude and refined products,
causing a disturbed market condition
and encouragement to drilling in pro-
ducing fields as well as encouragement
to new prospecting.
Oil operators have suddenly realized
however, that the Illinois production is
likely past it's peak. These new fields
have been produced wide open" and
they are going into more rapid decline
than If they were developed under a
plan of curtailment They will not long
rent trade publications that the gigantic
drilling campaign in Illinois is not de-
veloping new production enough to off
set natural decline of the older wells.
Oil men who have vision enough to
see the certain results of the vast pro-
gram of curtailment see that there is an
opportunity to cheaply develop new crude
reserves at this time when there is no
great competition in leasing. Those who
wait until the "heat" of new market
demands has arrived will certainly be
fighting for leases in new territory and
will face increased costs in the develop
ment of new reserves. What is true on
a national scale is true on a modified
scale in Montana where new reserves
MUST be developed in the next few years
Whether the industry will wait until
there is an acute shortage OF oil remains
to be seen, but we all know the newt
able result.
When 1t comes time to find new oil
pools, it will take a lot of drilling. A
visitor to our office this week told us
about new development in Texas where
there has been a limited amount of
validating until this year when the com
panies again began seeking new fields,
using modern geophysical methods He
said that the average on wildcats has
been greatly improved by geophysics but
that ONLY ONE WILDCAT IN NINE IN
TEXAS FINDS OIL. The cost of eight
dry holes must be charged to each sue
cess. He told us that market conditions
are so much better in Montana than In
Texas that there is no comparison.
Texas has strict state regulation of pro.
duction and only those with a large
number of producing wells can make any
money, he says.
The law of averages-one in nine in
Texas-makes dt possible for the United
States to be unafraid of it's position
in the world today because 1t has more
oil than any other great power, and in
petroleum there is great power under
modern military methods. The law OF
averages insures the future of every man
engaged in the oil business in Montana.
There is none who does not expect TO
drill dry holes, but he knows that in
due course Of time the law of averages
VIII care for his total investment. That

applies all the way down the line, and
particularly to royalty investors.
Another visitor to our office this week
was a client who has been on the mac
tive list for several years. He is a
working man who set aside a part of his
earnings while he was employed and in
vested his savings in landowners roy
alties. He bought only five properties
all non-producing royalties. We checked
over his list for him while he was here
and found that he had picked four
winners out of five. He could sell either
OF two of them for more than the amount
of his total investment II he wanted to
sell today We had ready buyer for
one of them
NO" he said "I bought these roy
alties for better or for worse and they
have paid me a nice income at a time
when l needed the money badly. l am
going to ride them all through. They
are not for SALE
He is no longer an active buyer he
said, because he lost his job and is now
travelling around looking for an opening.
Whenever he gets settled again, he said,
he is going to buy more royalties. He
carries his deeds in his pocket These
royalties are like money in the bank, ex-
cept that no bank failure, no loss of
papers or otherwise can deprive him of
them. In an emergency he can convert
into cash.
The law of averages does not give
a man four winners out of five, ordin-
arilly, but the exception proves a nice
rule, where an investor studies his roy
atty properties He and a friend bought
these royalties jointly, They carefully
studied over our publications. They had
no knowledge of royalties or of the oil
business other than through the informa-
ton they secured through us and they
bought only through this organization
I'VE did well enough SO that / am GO
ing to try to get fifteen instead of five
royalties" he said, expressing interest
in "the next Cut Bank field, as he ex-
pressed It.
It is interesting to us when royalty
investors are far-seeing enough to be-
gin to anticipate the development of new
oil fields of the future at a time when
it appears to many that the world is
flooded with too much oil but that oil
is the commodity that will serve as the
basis of exchange in world commerce
in the reconstruction period following
the war-no matter what the outcome
of military operations.
OF all the commodities in the world
today the best investment is PETROL
EUM. The most ideal investment at the
moment is the purchase of oil in under
ground storage. This can be done by
the purchase either of oil land in fee
simple or the purchase of a part of the
landowners share, called ROYALTY.

ganization may receive our current pub
lications upon application.

The swing of the pendulum of the law
OF supply and demand has been more
marked in the oil industry than perhaps
any other great industry The history
of the industry is marked by periods Of
OF! shortage followed by over-production.
We saw the price of crude go to $3.50
per barrel when the World War demand
exceeded the supply and it was that high
price rather than patriotic motives that
caused wildcatters to go out in new dis
tricts and prospect for oil with the re-
suit that they brought a tremendous
flood of oil onto the market in the post
war period. AS a result, the price OF
oil went down.
That is no novelty in business When
there is a great wheat crop, the price
of wheat goes down, discouraging the
planting of wheat in succeeding years.
The low prices save the wheat industry
from utter ruin because if the price re-
manned high, then vast farms would
grow wheat exclusively and the produc-
ton of wheat would exceed world re-
quirements.
At the same time, the fact that wheat
prices are low is no reason why far
mer should forever abandon growing
wheat. He knows that il the price is
discouraging enough the conversion of
wheat lands into other crops will in turn
bring about shortage, in due course of
time The more encouragement, the
more certain the after-effects.
Here in Montana we have just been
emerging from a pioneer oil state in
which there had been no intelligent
market development until a relatively
few months ago when the Canadian
market was lost While 1t was a sad
blow, it was unQuestionabIy the best
thing that ever happened to the Mon
tana oil industry because it caused the
development of a strong refining in
dustry that will gradually expand, COM
handing a larger and larger trade terri
tory 1t was a sad day when prices were
forced so low as to make possible the
financing of new refineries in highly
competitive territory but had the price
of crude remained at 1928 levels, as an
example, there would have been no
market for Montana crude today: this
state and adjoining states would still
be importing their gasoline supply from
other oil producing states.
But the low ebb of the oil industry,
due to national oVer-production, has
developed the inevitable cessation OF
validating. Here in Montana no new
oil field has been brought in since 1881
when Cut Bank field was developed
Half a million barrels of crude have
been taken out of the present produc-
ing fields, with no reserves established
to care for the future.
The same thing applies to the larger
oil producing states where validating
has been virtually at a standstill, owing
to the over-production of East Texas
and lately the over-production in Illinois
