REPoRT az REFINERTEs

Daily average crude runs 70 stlIIs
set a record of 4,049,OO0 barrels in
September, which was $1,000 barrels
higher than in August, and $4,000
barrels above runs in September, 1910,
according to a report prepared by the
Bureau Of Mines, U. S. department OF
the interior. Daily average imports,
although $4,000 barrels higher than
in August, were still considerably be-
low the high of July. Crude-oil stocks
at refineries continued to decline,
dropping 1888, 900 barrels to 51,l88,0OO,
which is 5,687, 900 less than the peak
reached at the end of August, 1910.

ented mining claims, for investors who
want something of more speculative
nature. We have clients who would like
to buy such properties and if any who
reads this has patented mining claims
for sale, we will be glad to have the
listings.
There is one land investment that is
stable That is OIL LAND While
man is buying land for "rainy day"
why should he not get property that
may make him a fortune, as we'll as
maintaining his capital intact? His pri-
mary purpose is SECURITY in his
investment If land is purchased at pres
ent quoted prices in Montana, no in
weston is paying too much. Land prices
are lower today than they were back
in the homestead days when the writer
first came to Montana. We are today
buying lands for less than the amount
the homesteaders borrowed on them
from land mortgage companies 20
years ago.
SO long as the buyer pays low
price for his land, he has SECURITY.
In the postwar period the value of this
land will not likely go down. Rather
it is likely to increase, as there will
doubtless be a great back-to-the-land
movement. But when an investor can
get land that is nnderlain with petrole-
um, he has more than security. He may
have a surely something of
value.
One thing we urge upon our clients
is that they should not plunge too
deeply in land investments. If man
can afford to buy section-640 acres
well and good, but if he can afford
Only 800 acres, he should not buy a
section. And if he cannot afford more
than 100 acres, he should buy that much
and no more. One man who proposed
mortgaging his home to handle a re-
cent deal was promptly dismissed. It
must be kept on the basis on INVEST
MENT and not of gambling.
Thus we have made available tracts
of land which we believe to be sure
of production of oil or gas or both in
tracts within the reach of various Pock-
etbooEs. We have made some sales on
4O-acre tracts. The man who owns 40
acres in fee simple is king" of his
Investment He can keep the land, he
can raise potatoes, he can divide it into
town lots; he can sell part of his royal
ty any time he gets up against it" for
cash; he can sell or give a lease on
the land or if he wants to and is able,
he can drill a well himself Unless he
is already driller, his best plan is to
give a good lease to driller who will

the landowner retaining his royalty. If
his property carries 100 percent of the
mineral rights, he can give the driller
8715 percent of the oil, retaining the
right to receive 121z barrels out of
every 100 barrels produced, free of cost
of production
If there is anyone who thinks that
the use of oil for fabrication and gaso-
line and diesel oil for power is likely
to end, he will not want to invest in
oil land but we know of none who
would suggest such thing. 1t follows
that there will be continued great
demand for petroleum products in the
postwar period.
LUCKY WILL BE THE MAN
WHO OWNS OIL 1t will be the one
commodity that will always have a
stable price in the world because its
scarcity is being accumulated by the
present war and war demands are go
ing to result in the depletion of present
producing properties with the result
that thousands of new wells must be
drilled to care for the future period of
normal demand.
There is one beautiful thing about
owning oil land If there is 5000 bar
rels per acre under a given tract and
the price of oil goes so low as to make
it Improbable to drill for and produce
that oil. the oil WILL REMAIN IN
THE GROUND. Almost any other en-
terprise faces ruin when such a thing

land. The oil remains in the ground
until the price makes it profitable to
again drill and pump the crude to the
surface of the ground-at which the
landowners royalties again bring him
monthly checks.
ANY time a small investor can get
10 or more barrels out of every 100
produced from a given tract, he does
not need very large production to give
him an income that will take good care
of the comforts of life. Should he get
wells producing 100 barrels per day or
better, then he begins to worry about
income taxes-but not otherwise

less speculative than any other we have
handled and less speculative than

This organization has gone heavily
into the land business, to meet the de-
mand of investors from all parts of the
country who desire to create a back
log" estate of land to fall back on in
the postwar period. A land boom has
started in other parts of the country
but has not reached Montana, although
more farm land has changed hands in
Montana in the last six months than
in the previous six years. The purchases
have been made, for the most part, on
large ranches and open range.
A north Montana oil man told us
recently as he was returning from the
eastern part of the state where he had
gone to buy a big ranch. Upon his
arrival, he said, he found that the ranch
had been sold the day before. 1t had
been available for years past and none
would touch it. Not only that place but
a number of surrounding places have
been recently purchased, he said: all of
them at bargain prices.
Last week a member Of congress
wired a Montana friend, instructing
him to buy a farm. The Montanan at
first thought he was testing and wired
back for further Instructions Il want
a place where | can grow potatoes,
the reply said The Montanan came to
talk with us about lands and land val
ues and told us about the wire, saying
that he had earlier talked with this
prominent official on a recent trip to
Washington, telling him something of
a farm he had purchased. The idea
grew in the senator's mind until he
decided to do likewise
What will the average person do with
a piece of land Grow potatoes? Hard
ly. That is not the purpose of land in
yestment 1t is to possess something OF
VALUE that will not be devaluated
when the war ends and the period OF
readjustment starts, as millions OF
skilled workmen stop making munitions
to hunt for permanent jobs.
Then what is the most stable invest
ment?
We have lands Of all types listed
irrigated lands that will raise highly
profitable sugar beets or alfalfa or le-
gumes.
We have lands suited to raising
wheat at prices that will pay out in
two years with two crops such as the
Montana average this year
We have lands suited to grazing that
have had luxuriant grass, knee-high,
for several years past.
We would like to have some ranches
with gold mines on them. We have
seriously tried to get hold of some pat
