WCTU had accomplished. A
brilliant woman, she turned her
forceful personality to temper
ance work in the wave that
swept over the country immedi-
ately following the formation of
WCTU in the late 1905. It was
largely due to her efforts that
the international association Of
WCTU was formed In 1883.

It now has auxiliaries in 81
countries and provinces. The
headquarters of the American
association are at Evanston, ILL.,,
at Rest Cottage, the former
home Of Miss willard.
Michigan's WCTU was Off

ito temperance work, one OF Its
foremost early detectives was to
establish q state house Of refuge

came the state Girls Training

80 acres of ground. He had to fence
the land; he had to build a house.
That was just the beginning of the
expense. The man who took the
easy way" and committed to his
homestead while working in town
had to pay out more cash than the
man who lived on the land and tried
to exc out an existence until such
time as he could borrow money on his
patented land-the objective of the
average homesteader, because he
usually had to mortgage his place to
pay off past Indebtedness.
We have taken occasion to talk
over this point with homesteaders and
all agreed that it cost from $1,000
to $1,000 to prove up on half Sec
ton, and in some cases much more.
If mans time was worth $50 per
month, his total investment was
$4,000 more.
The early day homesteaders such as
the above-named, with scores of
others we might have named, had
no idea that they were filing on oil
land If anyone had been halfway
certain, the government would doubt
less have withdrawn the mineral
rights. The government did just that
thing in one area of the Sweetgrass
Hills, later re-opening the land to
entry.
The gamble the homesteaders of
Cut Bank, Kelvin, Sunburst and Sweet
grass area took with regard to pos
sibilities of making fortune in oil
were far greater than any present
day investor would take. The odds
were 1000 to l against them
Now the geology of this whole
country is pretty well established.
We know where the structures are.
We may not know positively that
each structure will produce oil or
gas but we have a pretty definite
idea of the PROBABILITY.
The modern homesteader" can
today buy land for less than the in
veStment of the old-timers
The modern 'homesteader does
not have to endure the hardships of
homesteadlng.
The modern "homesteader buys
land KNOWN to have oil possibili-
ties
This comes from the fact that land
prices in Montana are very low, plus
the fact that the average person has
no conception of the meaning of the
word structure" and does not APP
preciate the possibilities of having oil
land Much favorably located land is
in the hands of mortgage companies
who are anxious only to get out the
principle and interest-and many of
them will sacrifice the interest

A FORTUNE FROM THE PRICE
OF A HOMESTEAD

How would you like to trade places
with the early-day pioneers who
homesteaded the plains of Montana,
getting a patent to a half section of
land in return for making that your
home for three yearsY
Those were called the days of great
opportunity.
Those were the days when Irving
Baker, an ex-preacher, filed his home
stead south of Sunburst 1t turned
out to be oil land The Baker royal
ties have paid over $200,OOOO0. Not
bad return on the investment of
three years of hardships on a dry
land homestead
His neighbor was William HOwling,
section hand Howling's land
wasn't very good farm land but the
oil royalties have thus far paid $780,
O000O
Sarah Swears filed on nearby
half section and her royalties have
paid over 100000 and the farm is
only partly drilled out.
Nor was the profit from homestead
ing confined to one district Several
miles out east Tom Anderson filed
on 800 acres and his royalties have
brought $180,0OO00.
William Byrne, a neighbor, has an
earning record of 1854, 10000 from
his royalties-and so on down the
list.
The same applies to Cut Bank field
where in the days of great oppor
tunity men filed on dry land home
steads only to find, 20 years or more
later, that they owned oil land
Since 1919 the oil and gas rights
on homestead land have been withheld
by the government, so those days of
great opportunity are gone forever.
However, we seriously ask the
question:
Would any of us trade our OPP
pOrtunities today for those offered
to Baker, Byrne and others back in
the demonstrating days?"
We are inclined to believe that the
average person who reads these lines
would not be willing to TRADE the
opportunities of today for those of
the demonstrating days.
The fact is that a man who could
afford to homestead can today buy
land with far more certainty of a
fortune from oil AT A LESSER COST
The term "free land" is incorrect
as applied to homesteads. 1t cost
money to prove up on a homestead
cash money in addition to the loss
of three years of labor The home
steader on a half section had to break
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1941-04-12

But when the modern homestead
er" is about to buy a 320-acre farm
it must occur to him that the law of
averages would insure him of greater
certainty of success. Thus he would
perhaps buy two 160-acre tracts, in
stead of one 320-acre tract And in
stead of buying on one structure or
fold, he might buy on two separate
structures.
The amount of money that a man
would invest in a homestead or a
farm might we'll be expected to make
a fortune, if it is oil land. A Montana
investor has a right to expect as
much, if he is able to secure his
land on structure mapped by res
ponsible geologist. To be more GER
tain of success, however, he must
take advantage Of the law of aver
ages, which demands that he shall not
put all of his eggs in one basket"
The discovery off oil on the Border
nose" southeast of the Border oil
field, by the Tarrant- Holbrook well
this week was no surprise. Those who
have working knowledge of the
structural conditions of that area
know that it was and is reasonable
enough to expect oil in a fold of
this type, in known petroliferous
region. We know of four other spots
that are equally promising perhaps
more so.
The current bulletin issued last
week forewarned our members of this
possibility.
For two weeks past we have been
working on a publication in which
are maps, geological report and his
tory of development of an important
region where fortunes are in the MAX
ing, with perhaps greater scientific
certainty than ever before. Today OPP
portunities are far cry from the faint
possibilities of the old-time home
steader settling an a piece Of oil land
sans geological guidance, sans ge-
ophysical guidance and sans any def
mite knowledge that there is any oil
i'll the region.
If modern "homesteaders" will put
one tenth as much effort into their in
vestments as did the homesteaders of
old, and will thoroughly familiarize
themselves with the rudiments of the
Montana oil industry, they have ten
times the certainty of success. That
is our Judgment after having been en-
gagged exclusively in the Montana oil
industry for going on twenty years.
Those who desire to receive the cur
rent publications of this organiza-
ton are invited to join us. A fee of
81 is required from non-members to
cover the cost of mailing.
