some FacIs regarding Investments ia
California Oil Stocks.

VII
No man should make an investment
which does not appeal to his common
sense. The amount of probable profits
and the future OF any business may be
fairly Judged bv the results of similar
business Isewhe A prominent Jour
nalist, editor of a leading Industrial pa
per of the South, and who has familiar
ICED himself with the different conditions
of the various oil fields OF the world, is a
reliable authority on the subject. He
saws as follows: "No intelligent under
standing OF the oil situation can be OBJ
tanned without a general knowledge of
the OIL production of the world, and par.
tiCularly that OF the United States and
Russia.
The oil production of the world now
amounts to about 100 600 900 bJls.
wear, or, $4,000 bbs. day. OF which
Russia produces about 6S 900 900 bbls.
and the United States $4,000 900 bbls.
The total production Of the Umted States
since 1859 when the first well was drilled,
amounts to considerable more than
l 100000 900 bbs. valued at over ST.,
200 100000. The annual production
has steadily and rapidly increased as
shown bvthe following 100000 600
bbls.; 1905, 26O,745 bbS.; 1880
90 S6 1913 bbs. !; 1890 - 45 S24,572
bblS; 19O0-5S 900 600 bbls.
1t is not generally known that the pro-
ductiou of oil in California was begun in
1864 and abandoned, as it was supposed
that it was worthless as il was not
thought that an Illuminating oil could
be made from it. The present develop
ment was started about 1880, but did
not thrive until about three years ago,
when its value as a fuel oil first began to
be appreciated.
Since that time the development work
has been phenomenal. Thousands of
companies have been organized, some OF
them legitimate, with an honest purpose
to develop the land, get producing wells
from which to market the oil as a bust
ness; others with a view to swindle the
public by simply selling stock and goirg
no further with it. 1t is a generally &C
knowletgrd fact, that so long as we
have a constantly increasing market for
the product at good profitable prices,
both for fuel and Illuminating as well as
hub iCating purposes, there is no invest
int which can furnish the profits so
quickly and abundantly as oil In view
OF this, S. H. SDarkaw k & Co. of St.
Johnsbury are offering the public some
very attractive stocks at from 25c. to
75c. per share, in companies which have
been thoroughly investigated by them
and found to be worthy OF trust and
strictly relia BILE in every way.
The best time to make an investment
Of this kind is while the development is
in its early stage when the stocks can be
obtained at a low price, as when they
get large producing wells, the stock i'm
medlately advances many hundred per
cert above its first sell ng price.

Committee Assignments for our Com
gressmen.
Vermont's two new mem bers of the
house have no reason to be ashamed of
the committee assignments Speaker Hen
dersOn bestowed upon them Monday
ChaIrmanships could not, of course, be
expected, but Mr. Foster and Mr.. Has
klus each received one desirable assign
ment and one MINOR assignment.
Mr.. H4skins is named as the eighth re-
publican memt er Of the agricultural com
mlttte which has the framing OF an APP
preparation bill annually and which will
have to pass upon the anti. oleomargar
inc bills, in which Vermont is much inter-
ested. H is likewise given the third re-
publican place on election committee No.
3 which is d hard working committee,
with something to do Of importance
There is some chance that within Con-
gress or two he may get to the head of
that committee.
Mr.. Foster is given the tenth republi.
can place on the foreign relations COM
mittee, an assignment that new mem
bers strive after greatly. Although it is
not hard worked committee, it is very
desirable and frames the annual con-
sular and diplomatic appropriation bill.
He is also the fourth republican member
OF the committee on expenditures of the
state department. This is an assign
ment OF little Importance but as a com.
pensation Mr.. Foster is given place on
the claims committee. one of the
the hard working committees of the
house.

ed to hold their annual picnic at the
Blowing Spring, Columbus Park, Sc

for ourselves and the citizens of this
place we shall be glad to welcome them
and their friends.
The picnic of July 10, 1900, held here
by them was very enjoyable, and bet
ter behaved body Of visitors could not
be possibly expected. That reason
and the qualification of knowing that
our visitors enjoyed their outing here
makes their second visit pleasant an
ticipation.
The organizations represent mutual
protection and fraternal interest, and II
is very gratifying to know that nearly
30 per cent. Of the membership carry
life and accident insurance.
