YOUR CHANCE IS WITH US

When a is millionaire he afford to take
small profits. Six per cent is good deal million.
But the small nVestor-the man working on salary
or a wage-who has only a hundred two laid by,
what does per cent benefit him? He wants chance
to get in the ground floor somewhere or some
how in a money-makng proposition, where he will
get good for his money, and be assured square
deal for his ante, and when he wins out he will have
fair start toward a competence
Many poor men have made fortunes by shrewd in
vestHents in oil. We have helped to make
money in California oil stocks who have followed
tip and bought stocks when they were low, and
have doubled quadruped their money.
We advise you to make investment in oil, and
to do it right away without waiting too long Don't
come in after everybody else is in! Don't hesitate
now at the psychological moment to make big
profit for yourself Set aside what you safely
spare and MAKE YOUR FIRST INVESTMENT IN
OIL.
We urge the purchase Of MIDWAY -MARICoPA
CRUDE OIL co. STOCK for reasons as follows:
The Property is good
The Management is honest.
The Time is opportune, and
The Price will never be less, and soon will
be more.
Unless you can afford to buy your land and
put down your well the best thing to do is to
pool your pile with others, and all in to operate
a good property for mutual benefit. The BIG money
is to be made NOW. The little profits will come to
those who follow you.
Don't wait to what the next price will be.
Don't wait until have drilled our first we'll Don't

First Snow Flies in Cascades.

The first snow of the season fell
Wednesday night along the right of
way of the Great Northern railroad
through the Cascade mountains.
though the pent up heat of the sum-
mer months, which has not yet left
the soil and rocks, caused the har-
binger of winter to melt as fast as
it reached the ground.
There is a we'll established opinion
among railroad men in the Cascade
division that the approaching season
will be one of strenuousness, with
plenty of snow and high winds. The
Great Northern Railroad company is
rushing the work of constructing
snow sheds, which are expected to
be completed before snow flies in any
considerable amount.
The statement is made that even
though winter proves to be record
breaker the travelling public will be
perfectly free from inconvenience
and danger while crossing the Cas-
cade mountains.
