First Oil Pumped Over Pipe Line
Means 8O-Cent Stock.

In less than four months you can depend on
Uncle Sam pumping Oil clear through from the
big oil wells near Bartlesville Okla, to the river
refinery, Uncle Sam No. 2, at Atchison. Any
investor who can see far as the end OF his
nose knows that the day this long stretch Of
pipe line is completed and the great pumps
commence delivering steady streams Of oil to
the storage tanks at this big refinery on the
bank Of navigation that Uncle Sam stock will
Jump in the open market close to 81 per share.
With ISL miles Of pipe delivered, paid for and
completed, there is not single doubt but what
the company with all its vast strength will
secure and complete in very short time the
small balance yet to construct. Investments or
nearly every kind are extremely high In the
United States, especially real estate. Now oil
IS necessity. People must have it to read by
and keep warm There are chances to be
run in an Investment in Uncle Sam stock. Just
q question of few months and you will be IN
able to buy it at all. Common sense tells you
that with the completion Of this pipe line it
will be worth from three to five times the pres
emit selling price, while it Is a splendid good
Investment even when it doubles in value. You
cannot find another investment that will beat it.
Better get in line today by sending in 81 400 and
securing 10000 shares, which in four months
time, with pipe line to navigation, will be
worth at least $4,000 to you and pay you i'm
mense dividends semi annually. There scores
Of stockholders who have invested over 81 400
each and several as high 900.

Will Drill at Least 200 More Oil
= 80 Wells.

This company now owns four complete drilling
rigs. Does its drilling at cost. It has room
on proved grounds for hundreds of wells. It
could start ten drills any day and locate them
where oil will be secured in eight out of ten
wells drilled anG possibly better. OIL producing
wells are valuable when you have refneries, pipe
lines and distributing stations and a market to
secure what the oil is really worth. No trust or
combine can deprive the stockholders Of Uncle
Sam of their just dues. We are dealing with
the general public, who q thousand times
more friendly to our success. The company has
cr!eavored to make friends from the word
CO. and is still doing its level best to give every
one a square deal," and to secure more friends.
In so doing it is pilng up an asset the value
Of which is hard to estimate, for you cannot
buy true friends with money, and through the
many thousands of stockholders Of Uncle Sam
1t means from ten to twenty personal friends
standing by each stakeholder and means fine
market and fair play for Uncle Sam antitrust
: oil wagons whenever they may seek to deliver
oil. With the river pipe line completed and
with even four drills developing the company s
on rights, how long will it take to double again
the value Of this stock? Suppose you only buy
1000 shares at $3.50; it will be a good saving
for you and pay you big interest to start with,
and the chances are that this very thousand
shares will be worth $1,000 to you in few
years.

Company Has Overcome Oil Trust
Conspiracy, Ridicule and Abuse.

The Uncle Sam Company is compelling the
respect and consideration of people today who
would not look at it on the start. Others
were misled by would-be financial papers and Il
few Doodle newspaper conspirators by their at
tacks against this company, and few per-
jured hirelings writing for few magazines
and certain newspapers, which wear the oil
trust railroad collars, but their rantings have
only helped this company and caused its friends
to rally more to Uncle Sans support until
today there are over ten thousand stockhold-
ers backing this company, and until over $780,
600 cash is now back Of Uncle Sam, while over
$50,000 more is subscribed on gilt-edged in
stallment contracts. Now this kind Of lineup
Is certainly worthy your considerati ton. For
no man with any sense at all can consistently
say that such a showing is not strong one
one that other enterprise can cite you to,
considering the rocky road travelled. On the
other hand, we can tell you that4there is not
single doubt but that every dollar OF the
$3.50, 900 that will be accepted at this sacrifice
price will be quickly raised After nearly two
years, working nearly night and day to put
this proposition through as promised at the be-
ginning, overcoming ridicu1e and abuse and suf-
fering injustice from blackmailers and trust
hirelings, we know that 1t will be easy work
to complete everything now, and If you fail
to take advantage Of the sacrifice price offered
the public in this announcement you will hurt
your own pocketbook more than anything else
However, we will be glad to have you join our

Testimony on special classes Of
freight was continued before the. state
railroad commission yesterday after.
noon at the commodity rate hearing.
W. p. Pinckney, general freight agent
Of the Great Western road, was the first
witness OF the afternoon. He testified
that 80 per cent of this company Is
traffic is coal, and IS per cent Of the
coal is soft. Of the soft coal, about
70 per cent is used for manufacturing
purposes. He thought Is per cent
OF the road s freight business is grain,
and said the carrying Of sheep is the
least desirable Of all the traffic.

,clal lines. He gave it as his opinion
that his company made no money, car
rylng either merchandise or livestock.
AS rule, the stock cars on their return
trip are empty.
}. 3; Baird, general freight agent Of
the Northern Pacific, considered all
classes OF traffic desirable for his road.
Asked regarding the voluntary reduc-
ton of 10 per cent made by the north
ern lines on coal and grain, Mr.. Baird
explained that it had been the policy
OF the Northern Pacific to make re-
ductlons as conditions warrant. The
vo1unle u CraH1c on grain and coal had
increased to such an extent that it was
thought that reductions could be made.
he did not believe that it would be
feasible for the state commission to
make further reductions. 8
"The rates in Minnesota compare
favorably with those in other states,''
he said. "Ther rates on anthracite
coal to Minnesota, for instance, COM
pare favorably with those from Penn
sylvania to the tidewater, as well as
those from the mining centers to the
cities of the size of St. Paul and Mime
apolis: think. that a comparison
