get one share of stock in the Natural
Oil & Development company
The money so invested will not only
set to rest the contention that oil ex-
lists in the Walla Walla Valley, but it
will give you your proportion of any
profits that accrue from the discov-
cry of oil in The Two Medicine( I'M

county, Montana. where the company

profit on the money so invested. but

enterprise that means the doubling

Plan of Company.
1t seems that the plan of this COM
pany is to amalgamate the interests
of the proposed new company at this
place with the Natural Oil & Develop
ment Co., of Montana which this
concern has established with consid-
cradle work done at this time, placing
10000 shares of treasury stock of the
Montana company on sale here and
the amount derived from such sales
to be expended for the development of
the Walla Walla enterprises, the
present and future owners of the
Montana stock to participate in the
profits that may accrue from the
Walla Walla plant, and those who
take stock in the Walla Walla or
home company to participate in the
profits of the Montana plant.
Is a Good Plan.
This would seem to us a very fair
way to place this stock before the
people of this vicinity as a lucky
strike of either oil or gas in either
place would mean a fine appreciation
of values of stocks.
With no desire to dictate to the
people Of Walla Walla as to what
they should or should not do, it oc-
ours to this committee that inasmuch
as it is more than likely that we are
located above millions of gallons of
oil that it is good business to aid in
every way to push this thing along.
