Friends OF minc-some Of whom You
knew very well before leaving for Cali
fornia as we'll as myself, have recently be
come very much interested in the reports
recently received from California regard
ing the great impetus given 70 the oil
business in your state, mainly due | un-
derstand through the discovery OF new
oil lands; consequently konwing that at
one time you lived i'll one OF the big Cali
fornia Oil Districts, Bakerstown, | think
you called 1.-THE place you said where
the natives were so fond OF crude Sl that
they spread it on their bread when shy
on molasses-well. anyhow, YOU ought
to know something about this great Cali,
fornia oil business concerning which W"
read and hear SO much, but As Il matter
OF fact know very little OF, SO the boys ask
cd ne to write you and find out a lew
things.
Please at your earliest convenience write
rs fully as you can and let US have some
general facts, as iof instance: Is 1t true,
IS a dispatch reads, "Caliiornia produced
during the past year 60,0o0,Om barrels
OF oil; how, why and Tor goodness sake
what did they do with such an immnese
quantity! The figures, | guess, must be
right, because they are made up by the
government.
By the way when answering and giving
what general news you can will you give
soomc specific information regarding what
particular California field you consider to
be the best. We want the facts, because
we are talking about clubbing together
and making an investment IN California.
You might also give us the right dope.
which | know will be O. X. because YOU
wrote it and know WHY WE WANT IT.
What kind OF a company should we IN
.cst in? Give us the name OF one which
you consider offers the best opening now
and why you think so; also tell us where
they are, what they have, and what their
prospects are; in fact, to shorten a long
story, give us about ten reasons II you
can, showing why III your opinion Caliior-
