It is generally agreed in the oil in

in the price Of oil rests solely with
President Roosevelt, the efforts Of PAW
Chief Ickes Notwithstanding. Congress
can and win pass q bill to place oil
on 1925 parity with other commodities
but there looms the possibility Of
veto unless the president Is convinced.
Montana oil men can do no better
than 70 wire or write the president
urging the necessity Of q price in
crease, II the country is to have an
adequate supply Of petroleum to carry
on the war. There Is no "sit down
strike In the industry but hundreds
Of Independents are dropping ont, un-
able to make ends meet. Nothing is
being done TO replace that loss the
total Of which may easily spell disaster.

cities should likewise join in sending
kilograms TO the president who alone
can halt this growing hazard to ma
tional safety.

We have yet to hear of dis
coveries by all three of those
same eminent authorities to
equal the highly profitable Pom
dera oil field that came from
further drilling inspired by that
worthless" discovery we'll
When we learned that Pend
roy had been turned down by
likewise eminent authorities, re
Gently, we felt pretty badly. The
writer once climbed down into
trenches and pits dug many
years ago to prove the presence
of faulting in Pendroy district.
To us, faulting is important. We
may be deluded in that belief, of
course, but highly faulted struc-
lures such as Elk Basin and Cat
Creek encourage us in the be-
lief that it Is a good idea to cling
TO fault or suspicion of a
fault until some better theory of
oil accumulation is proven.
Then came the finding of oil
lin small quantities-in several
wells drilled in the area. We
were convinced that there was
more oil where these showings
came from" A geophysical sur
vey then substantiated the
theory of the fault through Pend
roy area and two wells DELHI
erately drilled-one on the high
side and one on the low side
established the existence of a
fault. We continued to buy roy
alties and farms. Then to have
learned gentlemen turn down
Pendroy almost wrecked us.
Now that Jarvis & Taylor have
drilled in an oil well we are
forced to a learned geological
conclusion based on the reason
ing of the bridge player. "Tay-
lor did not drill in the right
place. If he had drilled in the
right place he wouldn't have
gotten oil" And probably we will
see that premise proven many
times. However, it is our idea
that the purpose it not to find
perfection in geology but to find
OIL.
We recall a geologist brought
to Montana by a leading Mon.
tana Independent. This geologist
was considered tops In the
fraternity. He made exhaustive
maps and visited all the wells
but oddly enough ne could find
nothing he would approve. He
saved his employer a lot OF
money, of course, by preventing
him from investing his money
in bad ventures. But the sac
part was that his employer was
likewise prevented from getting
INTO good ventures. This went

II was again by chance that the
bit, when 1000 feet from its objec-
tive, ran into oil, in the top of the
Madison lime. E. B. Jarvis, Sam Jar

the firm, all were present when the
well was drilled In this week. They
are under contract to drill Devon

move over one location and start

with the probability that they viii
have to pass up another oil well at
the top of the lime.
An outstanding feature has been
the western neighborly spirit mani

on for a long time and finally
the employer said to the geolo-
gist:: Well, how are we going to
make any money!"
Get out of the state of Mon
tana," said the geolOgist.
The geologist did get out. We
have not heard of his bringing in
any oil field elsewhere, but his
reputation Is still high. He hasn't
made any money for himself but
his former Montana employer
remained here and with the aid
of another geologist secured
properties from which he has
produced $4,000, 10000 worth of
oil.
We are eager to have new
Corners in the industry and we
are always hopeful that they will
bring us some new science or
new idea that will facilitate the
finding of oil in Montana. But 1t
is our experience that many
newcomers arrive with Midcon-
tinent or California or Texas
yard sticks and when they are
unable to make Montana con-
form to their theories they can
draw only one conclusion: Get
out of the id state" Several
times we have been half con-
WINGED that they were right.
Then something like the find
ing of oil at the top of the lime
at Pendr0y makes us glad we
stayed. And we intend to stay
for the reason that there are
more opportunities in Montana
than in any other state in the
Union.
We have purchased SO many
royalties in Pendroy district that

education of an old-time geologist
who knows only Montana yard
stick in measuring the probable
ity of oil. Pendroy isn't an oil
field-yet. Just as one swallow
does not make a drunkard, one
well does not prove an Oil field.
But the indications are such that
we wouldn't trade Pendroy for
any other four wildcats, here or

Inc writer sat at DrlQg6 table
with an erratic player as a part
ner. She had bid a grand slam
which was bad because two ex-
pert players, one of whom was a
veritable human crab opposed
us. The bid was promptly

Immediately the human crab ex-

After a long nerve-wracking

the lead was in and all that sort
of thing, our erractic partner
took all the tricks.
The human era expert
snorted: We'll, If you had played
it according to Culbertson you
wouldn't have made it."
And the same thing probably
applies to the biologists who
turned down Pendroy structure,
which now has a producing oil
well. Like every other important
field that has been brought in
by any other than a major COM
pany, the geology of Pendroy had
been openly hammered by dis
sehting biologists.
It is related that a big COM
pany was given all of the geo.
logical and geophysical data on
Pendroy, not long ago, and after
spending some three months
over it, sagely turned it down.
Ike Taylor, Illinois contractor
operator, took it on the day the
big company turned 1t back to
the owners. Today he has some
oil. Perhaps it is not a big oil
field but it at least is a COM
mercial amount of oil and that
is what the country needs today.
This is recited because we
are so frequently discouraged by
condemnations of outside geolo-
giSts who come into Montana
with an impressive fund of
textbook knowledge and proceed
to undo our hopes and expecta-
tons. We recall how blue we
were when Pondera oil field was
discovered. 1t was a 1000, 900
foot gasser, splitting oil. We had
dinner with three of the coun,
try's foremost authorities on the
oil businesses t-large. They were
preparing to leave the country
as they did, later. The well had
"disproven" Pondera, they said
and they were so sorry. So were
we. We had bought a lot of roy
alties and lost our money and
our friends money. Yes, It was
sad.
