Of the oPA staff concerned with

and the production was lost. No other
producer has been drilled in the
region. Only a few hundred barrels
were taken out of that hole. The
oil pool was not exhausted. IF oil
does NOT occur in deposits of
barrelful or a tankfull but in
POOLS, then there is likely a pool
out in that district where Carter is
preparing to drill.
We have been living here so long
that we are likely to become OBJ
cessed with that falliey of the oil
industry - toO-positive knowledge
where the oil rs NOT. Not until a
newcomer arrives-someone ignorant
Of the local superstitions and be-
liefs-do we realize that we may
have been unknowingly walking over
potential Cut Banks and possible
Turner Valleys.
The attractive thing about roy
alties is that each new oil field is
a repetition Of history. The people
who shared $23, 100000 in Cat Creek
field are not the ones who have
shared twice as much in Kelvin and
it is largely a new group who viii
share the 800, 900, 100000 from Cut
Bank. A new crop Of wealthy roy
atty owners will come from the next
oil field developed. The story of
their success win be quite like the
story of those who succeeded in Cat
Greek and of those who succeeded in
each subsequent oil field.
Montana must produce more than
$S,000,000.00 worth of oil this year
and even more next year and more
the following year. Each year the
state produces $4,000, 100000 worth of
oil, one million dollars goes to the
owners of the land. It is paid to the
landowners free of cost of produe-
ton.
The man who saw Pondera de-
velop and missed out was indeed
foolish if he did not make a tidy
fortune by taking advantage OF
similar circumstances in Cut Bank
And surely the one who failed tC
capitalize Cut Bank win qualify a,
stupid if he does not recognize tbs
"signs" of the discovery of the mex
oil field which MUST be developed
to replace the declining production
Of the older fields.
We believe that Midway -Conrat

also the West Sunburst area. How
ever, it is important to buy royaltie
before the drillers arrive. Our buy

Every Oil Field a New Deal

This is 1913 and instead of holding
out at a spot on the brass rail the
oratorical "talent" this time lux
uriates on the upholstry of cock
tail lounge. They do not crate
Peter Lorrie's influence has changed
that. The "talent" speaks softly.
"Three wells on Midway find a
little bit of oil in the Sunburst sand.
That proves that there is no oil in
Midway. That is the only place south
of the Marias river where any oil
has ever been found in the Sunburst
sand. That's bad. If Sunburst sand
were normal producing horizon, it
would be productive in Pondera oil
field GO miles west). 1t is we'll to
stay away from an abnOrmality."
That sounds so convincing that it
might have frightened us out of
Midway Conrad Butte area back in
1923. But not in 1943. 1t is abnormal
to find that much oil 90 miles from
any oil field. Such an abnormality
is the key to fortunes.
There is MORE Oil where that
'1ittle bit" of oil came from the
experts" Notwithstanding. They be-
long to the school of biologists who
go around stalking their regulations

that there is no oil in any forma-

sabotage was the geologist who Of

Oil does not occur in isolated
bucketsfull OF barrelsfull. It occurs
in pools. If the laws of nature cause
ANY oil to occur in a given spot,
there is more to be found nearby.
That is a simple rule that is known
to everyone. Yet in our % years of
experience in the oil industry in
Montana we have noted that a GER
tain group of people reverse this
rule. We have in mind the discovery
well at Pondera oil field. The dis
covery well came in with a flow of
gas, coming from the top of the
Madison lime, splitting about three
barrels of oil per day. We were
nearly chased out of Pondera by this
line of reasoning:
''This well is drilled on the most
favorable geological spot. If there
was a more favorable spot, the well
would not have been drilled where
it is. Yet in this most favorable
spot there is only a smattering of
oil, with a little gas which is no
good. This we'll disproves Pondera."
That sounded so true that nearly
everyone pulled out of Pondera-ex-
cepting, among others, w. NJ. Full
ton, contractor on the discovery well.
After nearly everyone else es-
pecially those whom we respected
as people of great knowledge-had
moved out, Fulton drilled a well for
himself and brought in a small oil
producer. Then as drilling continued
eastward the wells got larger until
flowing wells were being completed
The "smart ones" could not get back
into POndera without paying from
the nose.
Then again we were almost con
WINGED by the experts" that the
Cut Bank discovery well hkewist
was adequate proof that there wal
no oil in Cut Bank. e1n the frs
place, there is no structure" the,
said. Secondly, that flow of ga
splitting oil goes to prove that thi
is a gas area, if anything, and Their
win never be more than a showing
of oil in any well. Thirdly, the ga
is coming from a stray sand. Be
ware of stray sand production: j
cannot be depended upon"
Even when a second well wa

dependable sand that has been four

BON Cold Storage
For Some Foods

To assure adequate cold stor-
age space for foods that will
spoil unless kept at low temper
atures, the War Food admins
tration has announced a list of
foods which can no longer be
stored in refrigerated ware
houses.
Beer, wine, liquor, canned
fruits and vegetables Except
citrouS concentrates) sterile can
ned meal, dried milk in certain
types of containers, canned con-
densed milk, dried skim milk,
evaporated milk, canned process
sed cheese and flour and cereal
products must be moved out of
refrigerated space after the ex-
piration of the current Storage
month applicable to each item
or list of commodities in stor-
age. Cold storage operators were
prohibited from accepting these
products for storage after Aug.
2.
The VIA has also restricted
advance space reservations in an
effort to prevent cold storage
facilities from lying idle because
of future commitments.
Cold storage space. normally
tight in the period from mid
July thru mid-August, is even
more limited this year because
of the increased production and
storage of eggs, the storage of a
considerable quantity of the
early crop OF Irish potatoes in
order to minimize the loss Of
this crop, the increase in the
slaughter of livestock and the
effort to build up reasonable
stocks of meat supplies for the
apple harvest. and the large
stocks which the government is
accumulating to provide for
winter war needs.

New School Lunch
Proqrdm Planned

School lunches will be avail
able this coming school year to
approximately five million Am
erican school children under a
lunch program announced this
week by William A. Allen, state
supervisor of the Food Distrib-
ution Administration in Mon
tana.
The program was recently
authorize ed by congress, when up
to so million dollars were ap-
propriated for the purpose.
The 1894 lunch program is
aimed at protecting children's
health despite home life dislo-
cations necessitated by war: and
shortage of some foods" Mr.
Allan said. while federal funds
will finance a substantial share
of the program, lunch projects
are basically a community un-
dertaking, relying on local init
iative, administration and spon-
sorship."
Under the plan, the govern
ment will pay approximately &C
/! per cent of the food cost. The
equipment, labor and supervision
must be Finished by sponsoring
state and local agencies or CIV
ic groups. The program, combin-
ing the school lunch and school
milk projects will be paid for BY
FDA at rates ranging from two
to nine cents each meal, depend
ing on which of the three types
of meal is served.
FDA officials pointed out that
the program is not limited tc
low income children because the
lunch must be offered to all chill,
