OREGON'S EXPERIMENT.
1t Contemplates a New. Form
of State Govern
ment.

Besides pointing the way for
making United States Senators
responsible to the people, Oregon
is advancing in other directions
in the science government.
Presently we shall see nine
tenths OF the elective officers OF
Oregon eliminated. Governor,
auditor, Legislators will appoint
all other executive officers and
must stand responsible for them.
The governor and cabinet, as is
the Canadian custom will have
seats in the house. Three govern
ment advisers experts in admin
istration, will be chosen, and
every three months every house
holder in Oregon will receive a
copy OF the official gazette report
ing every act of government.
In other words, the people of
Oregon are going to apply to
state government "a variation OF
the commission system which
has solved municipal problems
with such success in several mid
die cities.

were similar to those prevalent in the
Kern river district. This "crowding
out which led to the compulsory
seeking for other districts was par
ticularly fortunate from the fact that
1t lead to the further exploiting, de-
velopment and ultimately the proving
up OF the greatest of all California
Brown Gold Districts.-"Coa
The Stupendous magnitude and the
recent rapid advancement made in the
development OF this great Brown
Gold district is such as fully warrants
the name the "WONDER DIS
TRlCT," and in order to fully appre-
ciate its immense richness and the de-
velOpment thereof which has been
made during the past few years, which
period covers the real opening up OF
the field, a comparison will DE nee
essary, and for the purpose of making
an intelligent one, the celebrated
Kern river District, the field that is
generally land was truly regarded as
being the greatest and richest produc-
err of Brown Gold in the world will
be taken
The authentic, up to date figures
used in order to substantiate the
statements made are those compiled
for the month of March 1910, and
they are interesting as we'll as remark
able from the fact that they prove un-
questionaibly the supremacy of Coal
tla e
mia and shows it to be by all odds,
Through comparison of present devel-
opment, as we'll as by results, actual
production-the King of all Brown
Gold districts. The figures referred to-
which cover the total production OF
those two great Brown Gold districts
for the month of March, 1910 are:
Barrels.
Coalinga District .1, 231 zoo
Kern River District i, 100,0 00
barrels of ~ gallons each, the differ
ence in favor of the Coalinga district
being Ii! 900 barrels for the month.
BUT when the present development
of both districts are taken into consid-
Grafton, the startling fact is realized
that the Great Coalinga district pro-
Huced this enormous quantity of
Brown Gold with less than one-half
the number of wells as compared with
the more thoroughly developed and
Comparatively older district, the Kern
River.
And by a further comparison OF the
average production per we'll in the two
districts it is Shown that the COalinga
district we'll produced two and one
half times as much Brown Gold as was
prouced by the Kern river dictrict well
in the same period, or in other words
to make the contract more apparent,
while the average Kern River well
was producing 800 barrels the average
Coalinga we'll was producing 1000
barrels.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1910-05-12

Having shown by facts and figures
that Coaldmga is the greatest produc-
ing district, it is now pertinent
to refer to another point in order to
show the further great advantage this
district has in facilities for marketing
or moving the product to Underwater,
and this brings up the subject OF
transportation, which as a matter OF
fact was the one and practically the
only handicap with which, until re-
Gently, the producer of Brown Gold in
California has had to contend. Pro-
ducing a commodity without the fac
ilities of getting it to market is like
finding a Yellow Gold mine in the
heart of Africa without being able to
handle the ore or getting the product
I to the outside world. Such was the
story OF Brown Cold found in the
heart of California. No means of trans
portation, excepting by the few thous-
and tank cars furnished by the rail-
roads, which at its best was totally
inadequate, as we'll as very expensive
service. Now, however, those corldi-
tion have been completely changed and
with due appreciation of the nlagni-
tude and Importance OF the Wonder"
of all producing districts, the. Coalinga
producer has at his disposal the serv-
ice of the following great pipe hne
systems-one of six-inch and four OF
eight and ten-inch capacity each,
making in all FIVE great through pipe
lines, which extend to various coast
points north and west from the dis
trict to market, l. e. Underwater.
These lines are: Associated from
Coalingai to Monterey, from Coalinga
to Port Costa; Producers from Coal
inga to Port Hartford; Standard from
Coalinga to Mendoza, the latter two
beng parallel lines, which connect
with the through line to Point Rich
mond on San Francisco Bay.
The product is handled by the trans
portation company or companies with
which the producer elects TO do bust
ness, which concerns, at their cost and
expense, run pipe lines to the property
and take care of the product. thus re-
lieveing the producer of all further
work From tidewater points the
Brown Gold is shipped north, south,
east and west, from Alaska in the
north to Chill in the south; and over

even as far as Australia.
The Coalinga district offers a pro-
duct capable of further immense devel-
opment; offers ample facilities for the
marketing of the same offers market
which is practically unlimited, coupled
with a demand for the commodity,
which all present efforts have as yet
been unable to supply. with all these
facts in mind, can single argument
be advanced that will contradict the
statement that an investment made
now in Coalinga Brown Gold is the
best investment extant?
How or where can | make an in
vestmen whereby | may participate in
the distribution of the Immense
amount of mineral wealth with which
California is SO favored and the de-
velUpment of which is still in its in
fancy? How? By making an invest
nlent IN company that has something
to offer in return for your investment,
and the more they have and hold" the
greater will be your return thereon.
Where? Investigate fully the Califor-

which has recently acquired Five
Thousand Acres of rich Brown Cold

district, the Wonder district OF Cali
fornia.

and the sequence in all probability
would have been that the great BODY
of mineral wealth which had been w.
ing there dormant for many ages
would have remained undistuTbed if it
were not for the stranger who took ad-
vantage OF the opportunity and back
ed his judgment with money. This
fact is notorious in the history OF the
development of the great Kern river
district. Practically, and excepting one

making millionaires nearly every day,

the greatest producing country in the
world, came from the outside; from
the stranger. The local capitalist and
others of smaller means. being abso-
lutely blind as to the opportunity then
within their grasp. From other por-
tons OF the state, California capital
and brains took leading part in the
early development. Well known mer-
chants, lawyers, doctors, lumber and
fruit men taking leading part, and to
the list must be added the many hun
dreds OF the comparatively smaller in
vestors, such as mechanics, railroad
men and particularly the strong sup
port and backing furnished by the
Keen department store employe-two
Los Angeles stores alone supporting
hundreds of investors, each one help
ing the development in amounts that
ranged from $50 by he lady cashiers
to $4,000 by managers OF departments
Another interesting feature in this con-
nection was the impetus given by
residents OF the Show Me- state.
They sent their delegations to inves-
tigate, were duly shown and as a
consequence their subsequent invest
ments have added many millions OF
dollars in Brown Gold to the world
wealth. Some towns OF about 10000
inhabitants furnishing more ''sinews'
than did any one of the wealthy cas-
tern states.
1t was not very long after the FL
wood discovery before all the good
land in the district was acquired,
principally by mining, fruit, lumber
and other men, who through business
connections and associates were
brought into active touch with the ex-
act situation in Kern county, and who
were quick to take Advantage OF the
immense possibilities and profits to be
ultimately derived from the develop
ment of Brown Gold as against that
of any other kind OF mining or indus
trial enterprise. And, as a consequence
those who later on decided to engage
in the industry were compelled to go
elsewhere and secure lands in other
districts, where the indications and
