ARE THESE TWO SUCCESSES
RELATED AT ALL TO LUCK?

Had we in early days, had faith
enough to buy royalties only along these
alleged faults, we would have had all
of the royalty on the greatest producing
farms But we didn't. It took us years
to realize that the theorists were wrong.
Fault or no fault, the oil collected along
those imaginary lines The EXPERTS
said that Fulton and Rice were merely
LUCKY. Perhaps they were but it is
a coincidence that the imaginary Kelvin
fault runs through their greatest produc-
ing properties
Everyone from the US.G.S. on down
has acknowledged that such wells as
the Ohio-Baker No 3 have produced
more oil than could possibly be contain
ed in the porous formation in the area
around them. Had the Ellis-Ndadison con-
tact formation been HOLLOW, with no
sand or lime, it could not have contain
ed as much oil as has been produced.
Yet the Baker No. is still producing
after SEVENTEEN years on production
It is net getting its oil from above or
from the sides. 1t MUST be coming from
below. And so we are convinced and we
have been for many years convinced that
limstone, when it is bent into a dome
by subterranean forces does not really
BEND like the shales. Instead, it

ones-oil comes from lower horizons.
There is no oil-making material in the
massive Madison lime. The oil does NOT
possibly come from the Ellis shales a
bove. If it did it would not be found
500 feet below the top Of the lime in
Turner Valley nor so feet below the top
of the lime in some of Kevin's greatest
wells. The oil comes up from below
ALONG THESE CRACKS which for lack
Royalty owners on the Davidson farm
are going to be called LUCKY There
was no luck about it, Every man who
put a dollar into this royalty did so
because he was willing to gamble that
sum on the presence of a crack, fissure
or fault-or whatever he wanted to call
tin this region.
There is no man who can 9th
erwise explain this situation Cut
ting across this high gravity pool,
west of Kelvin, is what appears to
be an old river channel The west
bank runs close to the East line
of the Davidson farm. 1t is high
cutbank at this point That is the
only surface evidence that any
thing could possibly have happen
ed to the accumulation of oil in
this district-and that is hardly
any evidence.
ON THE WEST SIDE OF
THIS RIVER, THE OIL AT
THE TOP OF THE MADISON
LIME IS SO TO AZ GRAVITY

TANNING NO SULPHUR, OR

We submit the proposition: Is
the man who goes on the west
bank and buys royalty just
LUCKY? Would lucky day such
as Friday the Thirteenth have

12 TEAMS ARE OFF,
 DOG RACE
Eight Indians Are Entered : Hundreds Witness Start
 in Early Morning

FAIRBANKS. Alaska, March B. A record breaking crowd attired mostly in parkas and mukluks gath cred at the foot of CuShman Street this morning to witness the stir ring start of the Northlands dog classic on the frozen surface of Cinema Slough.
 A dozen sturdy teams started out at o'clock this morning on the gruelling grind of the 1940 Dog Derby over an 82-mile course to Livengood.
 At Livengood, the teams entered from all over Alaska, will rest zen hours tonight, returning tomorrow, with the winning team likely to cross the finish line late in the afternoon.
 With two teams added since yes terday the starting order of teams were as follows: Harold Woods, Arnt Skaug. Bob Buzby, Johnny Allen, l5-year-old Fairbanks News Miner newsboy. Bobby Hanson, Walter John, Bergman Kokrines, George Jimmie, Mike Agababa, Ja- cob Butler, Harry Sam, and Crosky Moses.
 Eight racers are yAdians. The Whites are Skaug. Buzby Hanson, and Agababa.
 The most exciting part of the getaway was when George Jim mie, with l2 dogs, dashed off, carrying one as spare and the spare dog fell from the basket to run a hundred yards before he was thrown back i'll the sled.
 Progress of the teams is being reported by phone from stations along the route.
 The temperature is ten below zero. sky is cloudy, and a light snow is falling.
 Dog Derby rules require that all dogs be brought back, whether ex- hausted, crippled, dead or alive

ant factor In the war between Ger
many and the allies.
For some weeks now there has
been increasingly strong talk of
allied Intervention in behalf of Fin
land. British and French experts
have pointed out that the Russian
undertaking to supply Germany
with raw materials is handicapped
greatly by the Red srmy's partici-
patton in the Finnish conflict.
Seek Intervention
These experts and some of
them were important figures such
as former British War Secretary
Leslie Hore-Belishs - called for
outright intervention, which would
amount to war against Soviet Rus
STA, in order to engage the Rus
SLAMS in a struggle that would sap
their power to help Germany break
the allied blockade.
The big obstacle to such par
ticipation. and especially to the
sending OF an allied expeditionary
force to Finland. was the Scandi-
navian countries. They wanted
Finland TO win, and they encour-
aged volunteer aid to the Firms,
but officially they chung to rigid
neutral status in the hope of avoid
ing being drawn into the war In
Finland or in Western Europe.
Pressure on Allies
The allies were in a position Of
being forced soon-in view of the
Red army advances on Viipuri-
to decide whether they would in
tervene directly or restrict their
aid to the Firms to a voluntary
basis.
The Firms. having appealed in
vain for the Swedes and Nor
wegians TO intervene. were under
stood to have turned to the allied
powers with a plea for an expedi-
tionary force.
Times Drops Hint
The London Times, which otter
speaks for the government OF
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain. touched off the fears of the
Scandinavisns by an editorial
strongly suggesting allied inter
vention and that was taken In
Stockholm. Oslo and elsewhere as
meaning that a decision, probably
in favor of Intervention. was al

The Scandinavian press imme'
diately let off a blast against the
purported allied plans and the
peace drive-which had been per
sistently reported for two weeks

Wang Regime Regarded
As Bridoe to Chunokino

NANKING, April l NP.-The new
Wang Ching-wei regime was pic
tured by usually informed sources
today as merely temporary bridge
to cross the diplomatic chasm be-
tween Toxic and Chungking.
Although the Wang government,
established only Saturday, outwardly
is supposed to have full Japanese
approval and cooperation, some
sources say strong group in the
japanese Army favors prompt set
tlement with Chang Kai-shek.
They are said to make three pro-
visions, however: l. Chungking's
agreement to participated in the
anti-Comintern alliance. 2. Recog-
milton of Manchukuo. 3. Recognition
OF Japan's special position" in
North China.
The last is believed to be the
principal obstacle. 1t is considered
extremely doubtful whether Chang
