of the uniformed on the oil situation IN
California
1t is most probable, however that a glance
at the dividend sheets which appear with
solar regularity every month, showing that
nearly a million dollars is paid out, while
some companies do not make public their
dividends to swell the amount would doubt
less quicken the appreciation of the unin-
terested man and would tend to show him
what the oil business of California means
to those financially interested.
1t means, if interested in a good COM
pany whose stock is handled by reliable
financial agents, a steady income; often
times a thousand per cent on the original
investment. This amount of money has been
realized by no small number of men in this
state, and outside of this state, men inter-
ested in California's oil fields have done
as well. The trouble is, generally, that it
is almost too good to be believed, and skep-
teal persons lose the chance of lifetime
merely because they will not take the
trouble to investigate. Merely another
California tale is the way they put 1t. And
they are right-it is another California tale,
with millions of dollars to prove its truth
In closing we wish to say that we believe
the time will come very soon when oil
shares will be at a premium and that the
boom row started will sweep the whole
country. While not in the predicting bust
ness, it is easy enough for us to speak what
is an undoubted fact
The California National Crude Oil COM
pany owns several thousand acres of oil
lands in the wonderful Coalinga District
which they will develop and are selling
stock at so cents per share to carry on the
developing work.
This company is organized on a sound
basis, with 80 per cent of the stock in the
treasry. You have seen the stock advance
from 40 cents to so cents, why wait until
it advances again, buy this stock now and
save money. Don't wait until tomorrow.
DO 1T NOW. You can easily see the reason
why you should invest in an oil company.
Now the question arises: Which Com
pany? Well, the company that should in
terest you is the California National Crude
Oil company.

tant oling stations, as they barely keep
up with the demand now
For four thousand miles and more up
and down the Pacific Coast line California
oil is transported and burned From Nome
to Valparaiso and from as far east as the
Rockies, west to ultimate Siberia, peren-
nially clad in snow and ice, as well as from
the southern runs of the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe Railroad Companies to the
palmy isles of the Orient, more California
oil is carried for consumption. To be fnan-
cially interested in the oil business is to have
an added prestige given you by business
men the world over, and is just cause for
pride in ones common sense.
In the matter of intelligence used by those
interested in the oil business, it was re-
Gently said by a writer in the Petroleum
World London) that the greatest aggre-
cation of brains ever got together was be-
hind the oil industry. The constructive
genius of the officials of the great Stand
ard Oil company was held up and lauded,
and the business methods of a great British
enterprise suffered severely by comparison.
The richness of the industry in California
is rarely appreciated by the outsider who
carelessly reads an article like the present
one. There are several reasons for this
among them being the magnitude of the in
dustry, the millions upon millions of dollars
invested and the general inability to grasp

ANOTHER
CANDIDATE
FOR JOB

A new. candidate has appeared in the
field for the office of Judge of the city
court against Attorney Ora L. Wilder
muth, who, 1t Is said, has already the
support of the majority of the members
OF the bar In Gary.
The latest candidate for the Office is
Earnest NJ White, senior partner of the
law firm of Seabright & White, with Of
fees in the Knots building. Since the
story OF Mr.. Wildermuths candidacy
appeared in THE TIMES several days ago
q number of friends have urged Mr..
White to become a candidate for the
appointment and have pledged their
support. Mr.. Wife is a democrat of the
true Jeffersonian type and lent valu-
able assistance to Mayor Knots in the
Late municipal election.
In speaking of his candidacy to a
TIMES reporter today Mr.. White ex-'
pressed himself as follows:
While 1 am not working for the
appointment. vet l am not working
against Mr.. Wildermuth and will give
him my support If he is a candidate
for the appointment. Mr.. Wildermuth
is deserving of the Office and 1 would
not think of running against him. on
the other hand If Mr.. Wildermuth is
not candidate l will try my best to
secure the appointment"
The petition which was circulated
early in the week asking Mayor
Knots to appoint a member OF the
Gary bar as police court Judge has a
large number OF signers, but the at
torney who started the circulation of
the petition is not ready to present
II he mayor as We.
1t is understood that Col. A C. Mayo
who acted as special Judge a number
of times in the absence of Mayor
Knots expressed himself to a close
friends today and said he would not
try for the appointment.
new angle has arisen in the situa-
ton which may result in a fight as who
shall have the honor of naming Gary
first city Judge
AS the situation now stands. Govern
or Marshall may by the terms OF the
constitution and acts of 1908. name the
first city Judge of Gary this summer
Mayor Knots. the other hand, may
also claim the powers by the unre-
pealed acts of 1905.
Hence. an interesting contest may be
expected as Mayor Knots has been
one OF Marshalfs most bitter assail-
ants. II is pretty well defined that the
governor will appoint no Knott adher-
ent to the position. And, it is said
that Knotts~will try to block any move
the governor may. make.

costs $2.50-a saving of from $3.50 to $3.50
on every ton of coal displaced by oil. Under
the circumstances it would be impossible
that any other fuel could be obtained which
could displace oil, and, such being the case,
we have a guaranteed consumption from
every railroad on the coast as long as
the oil fields hold out From the govern
ment reports may not expect exhauss
ton until some future generation. Here is
the firnest of foundation upon which an in
dustry could be laid; an absolutely assured
consumption.
The wheels of industry must turn, and
at the lowest possible cost with the cheap
est utilization of labor. This point, econ
omy is the utilization of labor, leads US to
the next consideration, namely: money
saved commercial companies in wages,
which would be necessary with the use of
any other fuel.
Experiments have demonstrated the fact
that it costs four times as much to load
car with coal as 1T does to fill a tank car
with oil. Probably 10 tons would be very
high average load of coal fifty tons
would be nearer the general average. 1t
requires two tons of coal to do the same
work one ton of oil. At this rate it
has been figured out that it would take six
car loads of coal to do the work of one
car load of oil! So much for space.
The advantages of the uses of oil have
been greatly appreciated that within the
last very few years, in Los Angeles county
alone, 5000 factories have adopted it.
AS coal consumers they could not possibly
have existed
In Northern California the use of oil
is'becoming more and more general. Flats,
apartment houses, homes business blocks,
hotels, factories. mills and power houses use
oil for fuel It's cleanliness, its economy in
the matter of space, its actual dollar-saving
capacity, combine to make it the ideal fuel
A general demand is being felt in all of
the fields for enough oil to supply the for
eign as we'll as the home markets Rus
STA is a large consumer of oils Japan is
reported to be about to remove the duty
imposed over year ago on our oil and by

We call your attention to a fact of sig
nal Importance to yourself.
There are two positions in life for you.
You must follow your own dictation and
be Independent, or you must follow the
path laid before you by some member of
the old school and follow the old rut, and
mayhap still drive delivery wagon
knowing as we do, that you are to be
Independent is our for addressing
you. Listen and will tell you how to
gain that independence.
First, make your money work for you.
Second, save from the money that you
earn from the money that works for you,
and make that work too
Third, save from the savings from the
money that you earn from the money of
that money that works for you and make
that work also.
Everyone knows that very little can be
done from the interest that one receives
from the savings banks. Therefore a bet
ter means of investment. Something that
is safe yet earning large dividends.
And it is of this that are about to talk.
Surely you wouldn't for better
investment than California OIL
Investors in the East derive the paltry
sum of three and one-haf cents on their
hard-earned dollar for its use for one year,
while the stockholders in the same bank
paying 31a per cent to the depositors re-
ceive less thEn 40 per cent on their
dollar invested in the stock of the bank,
during the same year. These figures are
taken from the actual report of the d.
rectOrs of one of the wealthest banks in
New York city, and any who wishes to
know the truth of it can easily enough de-
termine it the commercial sheets when
the dividends declared. And the divi-
dends SO declared are largely derived from
than not in the oil industry of the so-called
Golden State" Being interested almost
solely in oil, from which vast fortunes are
realized yearly, we would like to make a
statement of the reasons why we believe
that oil affords today greater chances for
gigantic legitimate returns on investments
than any other industry.
In the first place. oil is the great fuel of
the Pacific Coast. Two and one-half bar
rels of oil are the equal of one ton of coal
in thermal units. In other words, the same
amount of heat can be obtained from 21h
barrels of oil as can be obtained from one
ton of coal But the difference in price is
very great. Coal, producing the same amount
of heat per ton 21a barrels of oil, costs
anywhere from SIS to sS per ton wholesale.
Two and one-half barrels of oil, figured at
the market delivery price of 81 per barrel,
