THE HERALD-NEWS, Wolf Point, Roosevelt County, Montana
There were 273 members of the
Northeast Montana Production
Credit Association served at the
annual association dinner served
In the Elks dining room in Wolf
Point Saturday, Jan. 9.
The large crowd filled the
room to over-flowing and some
of the people had to wait on a
“second fable.”
The pictures of the crowd were
taken from each end of the din
ing room but both fall to show
the table and booths along the
west wall. —Herald News Photo.
all oil Industry, consisted only of
spring and summer when Jit came
to drilling operations. To hear them
Texans tell it. Montana is closed
down from October through April.
That being the case, pay no at
tention to the 70 drilling rigs you
see scattered over 23 Montana
counties —phantoms, maybe! In
fact, nine of these apparitions ap
peared during the past week at new
locations, while tin-helmeted ghosts
tore down the derricks on five for
three oil producers of a combined
initial potential of 180 barrels of
very real crude oil daily. The two
dry holes shouldn’t have been
there anyway.
Seriously, this continued high
rate of exploration has everybody
puzzled, especially since Mon
tana has a malodorous state-leas
ing situation. Not only is drilling
at a peak, but there seems to be
an air of confidence. For instance,
that sagacious First National Bank
of Minneapolis, who were in busi
ness seven years before oil was
discovered commercially in the
United States 90 years ago. had
their top brass in Billings last
week.
For no depression party, either.
No, sir, Rufus Hanson, senior vice
president; George Henry, Charley
Corchran and “Late” Harder (his
swampers) invited about about 140
exploration, land, and production
folks from Billings' 80 oil offices
including interspersed state legis
lators, oil regulatory officials, geol
ogists, physicists, engineers, over
to the Northern hotel for a short
snack.
After an hour's run down a long
table loaded with appetizers with
names that I can't spell, and sev
eral jolts of “Doctor Von Grobel
knocker’s Root Tonic" they had a
light repast. Now, if you are on a
diet, do not read this —the din
ner:
Tossed Green Salad, Roast Strip
of New York Sirloin (Flambe, no
less). Baked Stuffed Potatoes. As
paragus-Hollandaise. ice cream,
cookies and coffee —PLUS an em
bossed cigarette lighter for lag
niappe. Amazing the lengths these
bankers will go to get a few mil
lion dollars loaned out!
Then, this coming Friday over
at Sidnev, Jan. 15, Dan Price and
his Chamber of Commerce are host
to John Pew and entourage from
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In case
you do not know, the Pew family
own the Sun Oil Company, one of
the world's largest, and it looks
like the Sun Oil Company has dis
covered that the entire city of Sid
ney may be sitting on a tremendu
ous oil field. Discouraging, isn't
it?
But the Sun Company cored 100
feet of Madison Lime at their
North Sidney Wildcat. NE SW SW

from 897^ to 9026 feet for a good
oil show; and when they drill stem
tested the bottom of 35 feet, they
recovered 1080 feet of oil and gas
cut mud. Another test at 9026-76
feet, and cores below look like
commercial production, but the
well is going ahead to at least 12,-
500 feet before coming back for
production testing.
North Sidney is 6)4 miles south
east of the Sun Oil-Philips Petro

which is good for a 1.000 barrels
of oil a day. if they had a market.

That whole Sidney, Poplar, Glen
dive, Wibaux Oil area is active.
Perhaps here will be Montana's
greatest producing area. And, if
you love to fight, just join in a
little hotel lobby conference by
saying, “Sure oil imports are a
problem, but the nation has to im
port foreign oil if we are to hold
an extra producing capacity like
this area ready for emergency.”
That’s Oil!

He should be taking lessons' from Jack McMaster. Jack
keeps hundreds of wonderful women happy every week.
It's easy. All you have to do Is show the ladles how to save
money on their pantry purchases, and you're their fair-haired

THOUGHTS

Along with death and taxes,
weather should be added tb the
list of inevitables. _
Grades and curves are two ink
portant factors in road building/
... but if a college girl has good
curves the grades are not too im
portant in her road through life.
This is the time of year when
folks are waiting for baseball play
ers to go south and the birds to go
north. *
Montana publicity experts should
take advantage of the fine weather
this year to sell the people in the
other 47 states on the idea that
Montana isn't a deep freeze state
In^ winter.
If you have a good product to
sell and you are not selling enough
of it fast enough or if you are not
getting a fair share of the business
locally it is an odds on bet you need
to do more newspaper advertising.
Civil service is what you get
when jobs are hard to get and there
are more goods than customers.
We will have juvenile delin
quency just as long as we have
parental neglect.
If it keeps.on snpwlng you will
have to return ytiur neighbor's
lawn mower and borrow his anow
shovel.
: Most people would be more than
willing to loan their snow shovel
to the neighbors if they would just
use it.
