OIL INDUSTRY
REVERSES TREND

Despite increased production IN April
for the fifth successive month, the
petroleum industry of the nation failed
to yield enough crude oil to care for
the growing domestic market, accord
ing to the Bureau of Mines.
The April output was $1,000 barrels
above the March average but 10000
barrels below the average Of year
ago Says the monthly report:
"A record breaking consumption OF
crude in April far outweighed the gain
in output so that the trend in supply
and demand was reversed. In place of
a gain of about 100000 barrels in
crude stocks in March, there was
decline of nearly 100000 barrels in
April" Total stocks were higher on
April 30 than one year ago, however.
Domestic motor fuel market was 16
percent higher than in April, 1870 Elk
ports were less but stocks declined be-
low last years level. Montana's pro-
duction in the first four months of
this year gained over last year from
2,119,O00 barrels to 2,347,000 barrels

Self PreSerVatiOn-

Self preservation is the first law of
nature, yet law that is seldom observed
by the average person until disaster is
at hand
How much easier it is to contemplate
self preservation and AVOID disaster.
We have in mind the matter of caring
for the future. Everyone who reads
these lines knows that there is a day
of financial hardships coming
Initiation is already upon us.
1t does not take an economist or ana
lyst to discover that this country is def
initely in an inflationary boom that is
going up to a great height and there
after, of necessity, collapse possibly at
the end of the war, no matter what its
outcome
The man with great quantity of war
materials on hand; the man with a large
quantity of metals on hand-likewise,
high-priced wheat or high-priced sugar
or other commodities-all are going to
suffer in the inevitable collapse that is
coming. Stocks and bonds will likewise
depreciate. We need only look back to
1882 to understand what is coming.
Then how is a man to profit by these
times of higher prices, when labor gets
a higher price; when sugar, wheat and
metals bring higher prices
How can we keep our increased reve-
nues to care for us after the crash
comes
Should we take some money and bury
it
Hardly, because it is initiation that
devaluates currency. The history of the
deflation of currencies and bonds after
the World war convinces us that hoard
ing is of absolutely no avail, unless we
can get our hands on some gold, which
is difficult, if not impossible
However, the idea of safety in BURY
ING part of our funds is food for
thought One way of burying money is
to invest it in LANDS. Money invested
in properly priced lands-is as
permanent as the nation Oddly enough,
the price of land is likely to go DOWN
in times of initiation, because of the
relative lowered earning power of lands,
while industrial pursuits attract people
away from the farms to the cities.
A piece of land is something that a
man may buy now with confidence that
he will still have it when the depression
is over. What it will mean to him de-
ponds upon the productivity of the land
and his ability to get it into profitable
productivity. If it is grazing land, it
will make little more than taxes. If it
is dry farm land, it will make an occa-
sional highly profitable crop; if it is
irrigated land, it may make enough to
keep share cropper and earn taxes and
a return on the investment, while plow

ing and other Improvements will stead
lily increase its value.
If it is oil land, it may make him
steady income for the rest of his life or
may even make him very rich, according
to the generosity of Mother Nature OF
all lands there is none that has specu-
lative value comparable with oil lands
CHANGING back over the past 20 years,
in the light of our present knowledge,
we know that it would have been highly
profitable for every member of this or
ganization to have taken leave of his
business and come to Montana, years
ago, to buy lands on known oil and gas
structures. There were scores of farms
to be had at prices less than paid for
Iowa hay meadows Many of those
farms have already made fortunes for
the owners. Attest the fact that Montana
oil lands have paid royalty owners
more than Sl4,337.0O0.
For each million dollars paid to Mon
tana royalty owners in the past, TEN
MILLION DOLLARS or more will be
paid to royalty owners in the future
because the development of Montana
oil resources has scarcely begun. A
small fraction of the number of known
oil and gas traps in this state have been
tested None of them have been ade-
quately prospected in the formations
below the big lime formations which
have given the country its greatest oil
fields in other states.
More oil fields and deeper producing
horizons are far more certain, in the
mind of each and every intelligent per-
son today, than was the prospect of
ANY oil in Montana q years ago.
Montana has no idea of the meaning
of intensive oil development The East
Texas field is no larger than the Cut
Bank field, in its outside limits Cut
Bank has 500 producing oil wells. East
Texas has 25,92l wells-or had that
many OH Jan. of this year: 40 wells
in East Texas to one in Cut Bank, with
equal drilling area.
Were $4,000 wells drilled in the en-
tire state of Montana-let alone in just
one Montana field-the situation would
be easier to comprehend No question
but that SOME DAY there will be
$4,000 wells in Montana, which will
bring not millions of dollars but tens
of millions of dollars to the owners of
these oil lands.
(The landowner retains the
right to receive 12H barrels
out of every 100 barrels of oil
produced from his land, to be
delivered by the operator free
of cost of production. The land
owners share is called ROY
ALTY.)
The man who believes in self preser-
walton will during the next few months
BURY some of his money. If he hasn't

RENToNITE MILL BURNS

A fire, estimated at 5000 damage

lump sum to SO invest, he will set
aside given amount each month until
he can pay for land or an interest in
land which may, with development,
prove to be oil land. If it is not oil land,
he will have at least the land which may
be capable of agricultural development.
AT worst he will have SOMETHING
to show for his money, other than
scrap of paper.
The man who will devote some of
his mind as we'll as a little money to
some oil investments in Montana today
can build up an estate which will per
haps save him in the dire days ahead.
Petroleum is one necessity that industry
must have in growing amounts either in
war or in peace. 1t is the one great
international medium of exchange that
will always have value.
The purchase of oil lands is available
not alone to the rich, but is open to the
intelligent investor with as little as 500,
if he will but join with others in such
a purchase. Groups of investors can
pool their funds and buy lands on
known geological structures, place the
title in the custody of a competent
trustee and rest assured of the perma-
nency of their investment They can, in
this manner, get interests in SEVERAL
tracts of potential oil lands, increasing
their possible profits through the law
of averages.
For those who wish to spread their
investments. even more widely, is af-
forded the purchase of divided mineral
interests, called royalties The man who
buys royalties inherits the rights of the
landowner in that he receives his share
of the oil free of cost of production.
The royalty owner pays no land taxes,
as does the investor in lands.
The land investor has the advantage
that he can demand the program of de-
velopment, before he grants a lease to
an operator, and he can thereafter en-
force the terms of the lease The owner
of segregated royalty does not have
that right, since he inherits the terms
of the lease contract determined by the
landowner from whom he buys.
The man who goes blithely along and
takes no thought of the future will
likely think of self preservation when
1t is too late. The present is the time
to begin self preservation. Also the past
teaches us that Montana's real oil his
tory is to be written in the future when
far greater fortunes are coming to the
owners of oil lands and royalties there
on.
1t requires sound, general knowl-
edge of the Montana oil industry to
make any investment. We are very glad
