I have had people tell me how sorry they are that my fields are rough and steep, but I can smile at their sympathy. On cold pights when the peach trees are in bloom, I can sleep easily, for I know the cool air is rolling down, leaving the top of my hill out of the frost. I have carried a thermometer down hill and seen the mercury fall as I got into the valley air. A man’s spirits may fall too, as he comes down from the hills. For you will understand that few men can see visions or look off into a far country, except they stand upon a bill. Iff] you argue that visions will make poor fertilizer for corn or potatoes, I will agree with you, but still be obstinately thankful for my hills. I know that this country-needs farm:| visions and clear ideals even more than other farm crops.—From “Down Our Way,” in the June Metropolitan Magazine. DOINGS IN THE VARIOUS CHURGHES -OF THE CITY.

To those of large means it will more safely conserve their fuuds, and.insure their greater increase than any other investment. To the salaried man it is the goal which-heretobefore has retreated before him as he plodded on. To the wage-earner it is nothing less. than. economic :salvation. Itis doubtful if.any age in:. history -has.. ever presented..the same remarkable chances for profitable .investment which the present age affords. All American industries are growing so rapidly that’waste is rampant, and yet, with-all the:waste which .a -prodigal generationallews, success is the keynote.of the..age. The.dozens of “self-made” men, “kings. of finance,” “cap- tains of industry,” etc., millionairs all, whatever they are called, attest-that fact: ‘The-majerity of these:men - ‘were *born’‘under humble roefs.: But:they:: had ~the::great: power : of .“seeing big." looking for.the big things,.the. investment ‘that would treble itself, increase itself a thousand fold, with the result that today they are “on_top.” These.men. were not 2. per.cent men; they were not.4.per cent or 5 .per-cent: ‘men. They were 1000 per.cent men, and they dared to use their own judgment: The late E.

Mother and baby ase doing/ably:caused by rheumatism -of the claiming that it is a simple decomposed product of the Organic Remains of the former seas and gulfs i..e. of marine animal and- vegetable - life. the diffieulty of deciding between these views'is. increased by-the.fact that either is-possible, in fact one.can manufacture- California_ Crude - Oil in the laboratory by either of those methods. The argument of most weight to the lay mind against ‘the organic theory is the undoubted enormous:quantities of : organic: matter necces- sary- to: give rise to. the amount .of California. Crude. Oil that has been produced, not to mention the vast stores that yet remain untouched. " In reality this argument has no weight: whatever: as - the amount - of organic debris is:in :almost -all ‘shalesand : other sedi- mentary.strata.is_simply. incalculable, and .al- ‘though: forming .a small percentage of the whole depositit is much more than sufficient to give rise to all’the ‘Crude Oil that probably exists. As a matter of ‘fact ‘the defenders “of the organic ‘theory only: claim that a very small proportion of the organic matter - actually : pres- ent in the.rocks -has:been converted. into Crude Oil; and in general thefacts that are being brought to light bear strongly in favor of the organic theory. A notable feature of California’s <Crude Oil:deposits'is that-they occur in' regions where the-geelogy-is :more ‘easily ‘studied ~than in-most parts of the world. In.many . countries. the geology of the districts snpposed to contain Crude Oil can only be determined by the drill which is- very severe upon- the prospector, who must to alarge extent: go: it -blindly. ' In .Cali- fornia, onithe: contrary, the -careful- student of formation. can get-much. help from. visible _ evi- dences : of structure in the rock formations and the capable reports and prognostications by the able-and- scholarly-‘geologists- employed- by the larger companies:andsnotably those ‘of-the U: S: Geolegical:Survey. are-prabably destined .to:.cure much of the contempt entertained .by: the .self- styled practicol men for. the opinion of geolog- <ists; for tne opinion of said geologists given' in’ connection- with’ the immense - stor- age of California’ Crude: Oil:which ' they estimate by:billions, net millions; is now-an-accepted fact; for California has prdduced.the millions, .and. is now trying to make a showing at the billions In this' connection, one of ‘the most notice- able‘matters in the evolution- of the methods pursued for the production.of: Crude <Oik:- is the evolution of drilling methods and drilling machinery. The- difference: between- drilling ‘methods:ten years:ago and: ‘now-cmmight -be: com- pared to;the difference- -between. the pick- and the-shovel and the. steam . shavel.. Themain shaft of the drilling.rig..was,. in.the - old:days, about three inches in diameter. At presentt it is six inches, being‘four times as heavy and many-times-as strong,-and:the:difference-in weight, strength:and; efficiency of the:machinery: and tools- throughout. 'is. in. -propertion; © The- weight of one.large drilling bit, such as is now used, is about as great as the entire 40-foot string of tools was a few years ago and as:a consequence ‘it can’conservatively be said that it is just:as easy to.drill a 4,000-foot hole now, as-it was to drill a:1,500+foot hole -a few years ago. The skill of the miner of Crude Oil: has keot pace with that of the machinery, and the -Cali- fornia driller today is the “finest” at the temper- screw that-exists in any fieldin-the world. The great variation in the character of the: forma- tions drilled and obstacles to. be overeome, have given the practical operator an.education not/ to be had elsewhere. ‘The character of the pipe now used is also-a fairiindex of the change'in‘ the-use of - :material. Ten years:aga 5 %-inch:casing - weighing : about 10 pounds per-foot, was: considered 0. K.; today the same sized pipe weighs about double. The large sized pipe, say 10 ,and 12-inch, weighs abont-40- pounds per* foot; and an Englishicom- pany used:on 18-inch: special which ‘cost :$7.50 per-foot and weighed.100-pounds-per: foot. The facts are noteworthy in showing the revo- lution in methods employed in. securing:Crude 0il from the earth. A few years ago, the men- tion of any such size or weight of material:such as is now:used-in‘: California : would--have been: considered-ridiculous. The inevitahle expansion of the. Crude: Oil in- dustry in California is just starting in;and reports to the contrary notwithstanding, itican safely be-said; ‘that there ‘never- was -enaugh: produced in the ‘state ‘to. warrant- -any fear of: over-preduction: It was: true -that ‘an; inland: district without sufficient.capital .to. lay . a:pipe: line to the seahoard, can sell to but. a limited: market..

Never before has the investor had the same opportunity of receiving large returns for money invested agis offered by the California National Crude Oil.Company, You will have:to admit that you can make money: by properly investing in oil companies. Now what you wish to know i8, “Is the California National Crude Oil Com- pany- the right Company.” It is beyond a reasonable doubt. The company owns its own land.and is managed by conservative business men. When. you-censider - the- theusands. of acres this-Company.-owns-you.-cannot help-but be convinced of the worthiness of your attention and investment. Supposing we only bored one well to the acre, and that well produced only fifty barrels per day, and the oil sold for only fifty cents per day, which you. will. have to admit is a very low. average alliaround, just supposing this the case, can you not foresee the.enormous income that will: be derived from the - investment? One acre would net the Company twenty dollars per day, “allowing five : dollars-for- run- ning expenses." Five thousands. wells would net:$100,000 per day, $3.000;000 per-month; $36,500,000 per year. Can't you see the possi- bilities. It is: so phenemenal that it hardly seems possible. Records:will show that:within; the last - three montns one well in California has produced over one million doHars-in.oil: Just think of it, one well in less than three months has_ produced over onemillionrdollarsdn oil: Not 5000 wells but one well. Can’t you afford to invest in a proposition like this? - The stock of this Com- pany is selling-at 50 cents per share. There s no time like the present, Buy now, and take ‘l" that you.can.afford.
