THE WISE OLD BRAKES"

Why do the ducks fly north when they
do?
None knows the answer. They just
seem to KNOW the right time.
There are some people who have that
same instinct regards business They
never move at the wrong time. As the
ducks sense the right time to fly north,
so do certain people sense the right
time to go into the oil business or to
get out of the oil business, or the stock
market or other enterprise.
We know when we see the dOgwOOd
tree budding that there will be no more
killing frosts: that spring is at hand.
The dOgwOOd tree is not fooled by mid
winter warm weather. How it knows
we do not know.
All we know is that the ducks are
not wrong and the dogwOOd tree is not
wrong-even though we credit humans
with far greater ability than the ducks
and the dOgwOod trees.
Accordingly, we know with equal GER
tainty when we see certain people move
in the oil business that it is the RIGHT
time. We doubt that ii would do any
good to ask them WHY They simply
do the right thing
Some people we know who have stead
tasty stayed out of the oil business
oIdltime operators and investors-ever
since the depression days, are now re-
turning to the oil business.
Since 1888 there has been though
sledding'' in the oil business in Montana.
No new oil fields have been discovered
since then. There has been no outside
money available for development. Many
of the WISER ones have steadfastly
stayed out. Certainly they did not know
that the Cut Bank field would take
away the Kelvin field market, back in
1898. Certainly they did not know that
Turner Valley was going to develop, de-
priving Montana of its Canadian market,
leaving Montana with virtually no mar
ket, although it is true that some men
sensed part of this and fortified them
selves by making investments in refinery
outlets for their crude.
These wary ducks of the oil busi-
ness have steadfastly stayed out, despite
the development of acidization, whereby
any showing of oil In the lime may be
converted into commercial production.
They have stayed out despite the de-
finite knowledge that modern tools have
been perfected which overcome the haz-
ards of drilling to deeper horizons. They
have disregarded the fact that Devonian
and other known oil horizons can be
easily reached by slightly deepening
present producing wells throughout Mon
tama, for the reason that THE TIME
WAS NOT RIGHT.

Montana Gas Yield Gave
State $1,325, 900 In '39

Natural gas consumption IN the
United States in 1899 increased .

report lust issued by the U. S.
Bureau of Mines. The value OF
natural gas at the wells was AZ
cents. the same as in 1888. The
average values at points OF con-

price for domestic and commercial
consumption was 67.9 cents, COM
pared with 6S.3 cents in 1888.
The average value of industrial gas
other than field and carbon black
declined 2 cents to 1876 cents in
1899.
There were 9,6O2,S5O domestic

In Montana the 1889 consump-

There are $4,000 domestic and COM

Then came the reversaIs in the oil 1n-
dustry and the plan was abandoned,
after the payment of a large sum OF
money in rentals. That structure con-
tains oil. Acidization might have made
a well out of the TIP, test, which was
drilled before aeidization was known.
There may be another Steveville field
there at Muddy Creek. It will take one
or more additional wells and few
hundred gallons of hydrOchIoric acid to
prove our disprove it, at a drilling depth
of ONE FIFTH the total depth of any
well to be drilled in the Missouri river
basin.
There are dozen situations such as
that at Muddy Creek here in Montana,
waiting for operators who have enough
money to take advantage of them, with
the pioneering costs all paid.
The wise old drakes' of the oil i'm
dustry are coming back in. They would
not come If they did not sense that an
other big play is at hand. Their

AL the low-pTiced landowners royalties
he can possibly afford. We secured
royalty in Kelvin field this week in the
midst of the new leasing activity at 20
cents. an acre point. That is this tract
must produce 40 barrels of 81 oil per
acre to pay out. For each 800 worth
of yield per acre this royalty viii pay
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. Amy time
a man can buy royalty at this price
within the 1S50-foot contours of Kelvin
Sunburst oil and gas field, he is indeed
foolish to buy wildcat royalties at any
price.
1t is true that 20 cent royalties are
not the usual thing. We admit that
is an exceptional bargain. However, we
are buying royalties at lower prices
today than at any time since the de-
preston. The uptrend is coming as
certainly as new development is conn
ing. and of that there is no doubt. Six
months from now we confidently expect
to pay 1909 more for royalties than
we are paying today.
We cannot explain why on a pre-
determined day the swallows come back
to Capestrano, but we can reason why

The leasing campaign in the Missouri
River basin, including Eastern Montana,
is the greatest ''p1ay" of it's kind in all
time. Practically every important Mid
continent operator is in the Dakotas
either with scouts, lease men or geOlogi-

there been an oiI-less territory so COM

Capital knows that in this national
crisis there is no basic industry
more stable than the oil industry.
The oil industry is starting in at
rock bottom with prices the low
est since the depression. The price
of crude and the price of refined
products can go only one way and
that is UPWARD.
There are few other commodities in
that position. For that reason, capital
is inclined to aIight on something that
is stabilized with or without war. II
war comes. the principal sinew of war
will be PETROLEUM. Prices are so low
that they can go no lower, so the oil
industry is one in which an upward
trend is certain.

TIPS to
GARDENS OF QUALITY

THERE have been changes in
recent years in garden prac-
tees that are worth reporting.
Gardeners formerly allowed vege-
tables to grow as large as possible.
This procedure gave a higher
yield in pounds, but very often it
lowered the quality of vegetables.
Some vegetables, of course, like
tomato, must be mature to be pal
atable; but carrots, cucumbers,
beets, summer squash, turnips,
radishes, and others are more ten
der and tasty when not much
more than half grown.
Gardeners are finding that it is
wise to plant oftener than once or
twice a year, to maintain a regu-
lar supply of proper-sized vege-
tables. Gardens prove more en-
joyable, and more profitable when
successive paintings of favorite
crops are made every two or three
weeks, providing garden-fresh
vegetables for the table over a
long season..
1t is also true that few garden
ers today save flower seeds. Fine
flowers growing in the home gar
den often are cross-pollinated by
others of the same species, MAX
ing flowers grown from their seed
inferior, and untrue.

To keep the inside of a gas
range in good condition, remove
rust that may have accumulated
with coarse sandpaper, then rub
over entire surface with olive oil.
When rooms are to be painted,
coat windows with a cleaning pow
der. If paint splatters on the glass
it comes off easily when the pow
der is wiped away.
A teaspoonful of vinegar added
to any boiled frosting before
spreading will keep it from be-
coming brittle or breaking when it
is cut
Shrinkage in woolens is usually
due to over-washing. In ordinary
circumstances, three minutes is
long enough for them.
To give shingles the appearance
of being stained, use paint with
low gloss, or flat paint.
Many kitchens have a bare, I'M
used wall space that could be
usefully and attractively trans
formed into recessed shelves.
Before baking potatoes, let them
stand in hot water for Is minutes.
Then rub with butter or lard and
put in oven. They will bake in
half the time and will not shrink.
If sugar is added to water when
making favored ice cubes, the
cubes will not freeze clear or sol
idly.
Two tablespoons chile sauce or

LYNN SAYS:

In an old book of household adj
vice, written in 1879, are some
words of wisdom "to help home
makers" I'm passing them on to
you "for what they're worth" in
the modern, up-to-date home.
"Use a clam shell to scrape
skillets or saucepans; to scour
your iron pots and griddles, use
wood ashes.
Sweeping carpet with new
fallen snow will make it look
very bright and fresh. Also, it
is good plan to save tea leaves,
and, with them not too moist,
sweep a dark carpet. This is
not advised for light colors.
Woodwork may be busted with
a long-feathered wing, preferably
that of turkey.
"For washing fine clothes, use
a pounder-not large, old-fash-
Toned affair, but one about twice
as large as potato masher, and
pound your clothes as they soak
in sal-soda water. The rubbing
on a board will then be very
easy. Use a clothes wringer if you
can possibly get one.
"Never buy ground coffee.
Take whole berries and heat;
grind while hot.
Cali housewives should be well
adversed in cookery, and should
know how to make good dishes,
such as Jenny Lind Cake, 'Pars-
nip Pie Marrow Dumplings'
and Flannel Pancakes '"
