which connect with the through line to Point
Richmond on San Francisco Bay.
The product is handled by the transpor-
tatton company or companies with which
the producer elects to do business, which
concerns, at their cost and expense, run
pipe lines to the property and take care
of the product, thus relieving the producer
of ali further work. From ttdewater points
the Brown Gold is shipped north, south,
east and west, from Alaska in the north to
Chilli in the south; and over seas as far as
Japan, and portions of 1t even as far as
Australia.
The Coalinga district offers a product
capable of further immense development;
offers ample facilities for tina marketing
OF the same; offers a market which is prac-
tically 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 a single argu-
ment be advanced that will contradict the
statement that an investment made now in
Coalinga Brown Gold Is the best invest,
ment extant?
How or where can I make an invest
ment whereby I may participate in the dis
trfbution of the immense amount of mineral
wealth with which California is so favored
and the development of which Is still in
its infancy? How? BY making an invest
ment 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? In
vestigate fully the California National Crude
Oil company. which has recently acquired
Five Thousand Acres of rich Brown Cold
holdings in the now famous Coalinga dis
trict Of California.
Remember the story of Jud and his dogs
and don't be likened unto the blind friends
and neighbors, but get in" now, like the
stranger did, when the investment of few
hundred dollars, which the stranger actually
made, resulted in a private car which he
now uses and is now his own; all the result
of a small investment in Brown Gold made
at the bottom.

for unbecoming conduct on the field
during the ante-season game at Co

The case came before the commission
at its session here today in the form
of a claim from the Chicago National
league club for its portion OF the gate
receipts, which were held back by the
Colum bus club.
The commission ordered the Column

the Chicago team, but fined the play
ers for causing a disturbance Several
other minor cases were decided and
the commission adjourned.

hand, Browns cunning was not there.
and the Hub City athletes seemed to
connect with little exertion. Eight
hits were plucked from Mordecars de-

Still, there was strangely uncommon
sputter of base hits, especially with
the three fingered wonder supposedly

Barrels.
Coa1fnga District. 1911 ,231 900
Kern River District 100000
barrels of AZ gallons each, the difference
in favor of the Coalinga district being 49,
900 barrels for the month. BUT when the
present development of both districts are
taken into consideration, the startling fact
is realized that the great Coalinga district
produced this enormous quantity of Brown
Gold with less than one-half the number
of wells as compared with the more thor
oughly developed and comparatively older
district, the Kern River.
And by further comparison of the aver
age productic0 per well in the two districts
1t Is shown that the Coalinga district well
produced two and one-half times much
Brown Gold as was produced by the Kern
River district well in the same period, or in
other words, to make the contrast more
apparent, while the average Kern River
we'll was producing 800 barrels the average
Coalinga well was producing 1000 barrels.
Having shown by facts and figures that
Coalinga is the greatest producing district,
it Is now pertinent to refer to another point
in order to show the further great advan-
tage this district has in facilities for mar
keting or moving the product to Tidewater,
and this brings up the subject of transpor-
tation, which matter of fact was the
and practically the only handicap with
which, until recently. the producer Of Brown
Gold in California has had to contend
Producing a commodity without the facil-
tiles 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 to the outside world.
Such was the story of Brown Gold found
in the heart of California No means of
transportation, excepting by the few thous-
and tank cars furnished by the railroads
which at its best was totally inadequate
as well as very expensive service. Now,
however, those conditions have been COM
pletely changed and with due appreciation
of the magnitude and Importance of the
Wonder" of all producing districts, the
Coalinga producer has at his disposal the
following great pipe line system-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 district to market
/ g., Tidewater.
These lines are: Associated from Goa
linga to Monterey, from Coalinga to Port
Costa; Producers from Coalinga to Port

TO0 MANY NAVY YARDS
 SAYS HE SECRET TARY

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. B. The results of a careful, personal in vestigat on by Secretary George von l.. Meyer of many of the navy yards and naval stations are apparent in certain sweeping recommendations for the abolition of some of these and the development of others. as set cut in the secretary's annual report just made public.
 Secretary Meyer recommends giv- ing up and dis osing of the naval &; a. tions at New Orleans, Pensacola. San Juan. Port Royal, New London, Sack etts Harbor. Culebra and Cavite He maintain ng these stations for he past five years has been s1.672.6 .675, while very little useful work has been performed therein.
 The secretary discusses the strong points and sh rtcomines of the va rious yards at length and incidentally he points out that the United States has twice as many navy yards as Great Britain with navy at least double the size of ours.
 The Maze Island navy yard $ very severely criticised for its inac- possibility, both on account of its
 great distance from San Francisco and the shal owners of the chanrel
 The muddy water of the San Pabla bay is also said to work havoc tn the condensers of the warships No
 hattleship injured in act on could te taken to Mare Is and even for ten- porary repairs, nor could the yard be
 reached by any number of the heavy ib1t'leships or heavy cruisers even when uninjured. But as s1i.0o0, COG already has been spent on this yard. the secretary thinks that in order to avoid a total loss 1t would be wise to tiliZe il for such vessels as can reach il and also fir such manufac. turing and repa work for the larger yessels as can readily be sent to the
 navy yard and returned to the yes
 se's lying in San Fran isco bay. Look ing to the future he says that it will
