Hills the Cut Bank horizon was called
Baskoo-meaning Basal Kootenai-
before Cut Bank was discovered. It
was several years before biologists
correlated Cut Bank with the Baskoo
horizon. Now it is known that the
buried seacoast which forms the Cut
Bank field swings around northeast
ward, past the Border Red Coulee
field and into the Sweetgrass Hills.
Should the Kicking Horse fold pro-
duce in the Cut Bank sand, it will
mean a rush of prospectors to the
Sweetgrass Hills and to the area on
the Canadian side of the border, north
of the Hills.

drilled. 1t will mean the testing of promis-
ing structures which have remained I'M
tested because there has been no need for
the oil. There are scores of such properties
and structures
While the oil industry has fought this
war at a loss caused by relentless price
ceilings and no safeguard against steadily
mounting costs, other branches of industry
have been piling up tremendous profits
simply because they are being generously
rewarded for their valuable service. Con-
tractors who have built war plants, airports.
shipyards ships, planes, guns and other war
essentials have been making more money
than they know what to do with
The munitions maker, as a good example
knows that at the conclusion of the war he
is going to have to charge off his invest
ment in his plant and tools He will have
to find new enterprise. 1t is no more than
fair that he should make sufficient profit
so as to make it possible to build for his
future That is something that all of us
who are enjoying war wages or war profits
should think about 1t is an interesting
fact that great many of these contractors
are putting their money into the oil in
dustry.
So great has been this tendency that the
Independent Petroleum Association recently
issued bulletin decrying the fact that oil
producers are forced to deplete their re-
serves and sell at price less than the cost
of replacing them while others who are do
ing an essential service for the war enter
prise are guaranteed profits so large that
they are able to go into the oil business
and compete with those who are crushed
by OPA price ceilings
We have pointed out that there are two
sides to the question. The munitions maker
must get into some other branch of industry:
either into mining, agriculture or oil or
other permanent industry which will survive
The war. Why not the oil business. if in his
the oil industry offers the greatest
security for the futureP

The possibilities of Clarks Fork

If we have been misguided in putting saw
ings into the oil business, it is reassuring to
see these kings of war industry turn to the
oil business as a refuge for the future We
feel that they look upon the oil industry as
speculative venture They know that if
they take promising wildcat, drill well
and fail to find OIL they can charge off
their loss Immediately. The saving in in
come tax will in many cases pay for the loss
On the other hand, should the wildcat well
find oil, they have their money buried in
the ground. 1t can be taxed only as, the oil
is taken from the ground. None can take it
away from them It is one of the few in
vestments which have longtime insurance.
There can be no question but that oil will
grow more valuable as the years go on, be-
cause the scarcity caused by this wasteful
war viii have telling effect on the world
supply of petroleum for many years to come
Accordingly, the man who has his war
profits buried" in an oil field has the
surest, safest depository in the world
What applies to a millionaire munitions
maker applies to the individual who asks
himself:
What win have when we come out Of
this warp"
If his money is invested in oil in under
ground storage he is certain that his
property will not be taken away from him
by confiscatory taxation; he pays taxes only
on the oil as it is produced He knows that
the oil will be produced at profit over his
cost because the buyer of royalty plans to
get oil in underground storage for only a
few pennies per barrel His share of the
oil is brought to the surface of the ground
and delivered to him FREE OF COST OF
PRODUCTION by the operator. He sells it
at going prices
The man who does not put wartime earn
ings into the ground will likely have little
to show for it after this war. The wise man
will come out Of this war owning land else
the mineral content of land; something
that will be firm and tangible, rather than
intangibles represented by paper
We are content to have our money in
vested in oil land, or potential oil land.
We ere happy that we have been able
during the past year to get many properties
which we believe are proven oil land There
has been little development this year and
relatively few new properties came into pro-
duction. However we are confident that the
turn of events in Washington points toward
the opening of many properties during the
coming year. Each new property so opened
means not only added munitions of war to
help win the war but means sterilization Of
the American economy in the period follow
ing the war.
Our New Years wish is that every mem
Der Of this organization may accumulate
enough royalty properties to provide each
'ne with a steady income during and after
he postwar period
Any who wishes to look into the purchase
# potential oil lands or oil royalties in the
State of Montana is invited to get in touch
With us. We will send current publications
o those who inquire.

Our Wish und Hope for the Neu Year

The coming of the New Year brings SER
ious thinking-careful contemplation of the
possibilities for the New Year
Will the New Year bring us a gain or a
loss?
What will we have to show for our work
at the end of 1882
This is the least joyous holiday season in
the history of the United states. It has
been difficult to sincerely talk Of a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year, when we
do not feel merry and when there is little
certainty what the New Year will bring.
The past year has been one of great I'M
certainty for the oil industry. No other in
dustry has had a more severe jolt than the
oil industry, yet it has performed a remark
able service in the war effort There has
been no Sinking. no matter what the cost.
There has been no plane grounded for want
Of gasoline, no tank idle for lack of fuel
and no ship tied up in port for want of fuel
OIL Likewise, the essential traffic of the
nation has been kept moving. Other
branches Of industry have failed at times,
but the oil industry has done its part, no
matter what the cost
Working without adequate equipment with
higher labor and operating costs. without
adequate returns for the crude oil sold, the
industry has been swiftly depicting its re-
serves, its resources and its energies and
the time has come when the government
must not only realize but recognize the
Importance of oil in this war. That recog-
milton will come in the form of an in
creased price for crude
An increased price is coming. as certainly
as continuance of the war If it does not
come. then the supply Of oil will diminish
to a point where the war effort will be
halted. Planes will be grounded, tanks
halted, ships held in ports and the traffic
of the war industries will slow down to a
losing pace. There is no shortcut to avoid
this
Million dollar appropriations-the sur
cease of other economic ailments-win not
save the country from an oil shortage. There
is only one way to insure enough oil to
carry on the war and that is to provide a
price that will not only pay for the pro-
duction of crude but will inspire men to
risk their money to find MORE reserves
Of crude oil The Hendersons and Galbreaths
Of the OPA do not know this They think
That the price of oil should ice based on the
cost of pumping it to the surface of the
sround-not on the cost Of finding it, and
herefrom springs a dangerous oil shortage.
The New Year is likely to be a happy one
I this country accomplshes nothing more
han curbing the lame-brain leadership in
)PA and other agencies which have been
am-stringing the war effort. Retirement
that school of thought will make it
ossible for the oil industry to have its price
tructure adjusted in accordance with other
rice normals Of the nation
So that is one of the bright rays of hope
n the horizon Of the New Year The oil in
lstry will be given a chance to fight this
ar with both hands-rather than with one
and tied behind. An increase in the price
crude will mean the drilling of wells on
-operties which have heretofore been I'M
