Victor P. Griggs, Klwanlan. former Havra. Mont., prosecuting attorney, told club members tnese conclusions in an Informal talk. . riven to the group yesterday noon it the Marlon hotel. Griggs for merly llred In Montana in the heart of the- oil -country and spoke ' from his own experience and from that of bis neighbors. "Remember this: for eTery dol lar oil bring Into a city. 10 I o out In wasted Investments.' Griggs said.- "During the period of the boom offices are filled, real estate changes hands., business generally boom. ' But when -the period of production comes. U it does, one man tends a number of wells and little- money stays in the community. This la not the ease should theoll production. compstf- ies locate their offices or the. r re fineries near the field. Only Two Usual Road to Profit - ; - v Briggs warned -his hearers against Investments in oil stocks. He said when private money found profitable investment -r on . oil it was through leases granted on lands owned by the lndlTldnal, on - royalties or by being la on the ground floor of eastern concerns which were legitimate and which sold to large oil companies who usually were willing to pay a fair premium tor the exploring effort of wildcatters who brought in oil. As a rule promoters of oil wells are men without money, resort to trickery and unfair dealing, work on the public Imagination and then skip out when the tide tarns, Griggs stated. Oil drillers 'are well-paid workmen wlio are liber al spenders and pour money into a community while the boom lasts. . DOMED OF TROT. N. Y.. July 14.
