ROOSEVELT DESCRIBED
AS DYNAMIC GEOGRAPHER
Many Obscure Places Known
Through Former President

Baedeker, when he takes up East
Africa, will find undeniable evidence
that the country offers attractions, as
the advertisements say, for the mis-
sionary, the big game hunter, the
health seeker and the journalist, says
the New York Post. All of them are
now publishing their experiences.
1t is obvious that but for Roosevelt
most of these books would never have
seen the light. 1t is not a question of
merit, almost without exception the
books make very good reading. But
it is not merit that unlocks the pub
lisher's heart when there is no market
for a particular brand of goods. Roose-
welt has opened up such a market. He
has recently been described as a dy
manic geographer, as man who takes
obscure places and puts them on the
map. Having done that service for
oyster bay and Rock Creek park in
Washington he now comes to the aid
of a large section of the dark conti-
nent. But if the present flood of books
on East Africa keeps up Roosevelt
will inevitably rank high as a dynamic
literary pioneer as well as a geog
rapher. The pathways of Mount Kenia
may become more familiar than the
streets in Greenwich village Every
schoolboy may soon have at his fingers
ends the annual rainfall, temperature
and barometric pressure at Mombasa.
But literature will share in the tri-
umphs of science; the library shelves
keep groaning as the lions and rhi-
noceroses fall.
Roosevelt can afford to take his time
while smaller people write their books
They can not compete with him. His
methods are not their methods and
his appeal is not their appeal. Though
thousand volumes be written on the
subject the world is sure to wait for
the final word to be spoken by the
only man qualified to utter it.

Immediately north of us lies the property of the
Netherlands Oil Company, with two fine producing
wells of 100 barrels per day each
The Homestake Oil Company, with four produc-
ing wells, all good for over 100 barrels each per
day. and of their wells flowing at the rate of
$50 barrels per day; the Caledonian, with its
wonderful gusher, doing from 800 to $50 barrels OF
oil per day
Remember that these Homestake wells and the
Caledonian well only $50 feet deep, and yet they
are gushers, producing as much than wells
drilled in the deeper part of the field from $500 to
5000 feet deep.
The property being shallow, drilling is inexpen-
sive, wells costing from $1,000 to $1,000 each
and requiring from 80 to 90 days at the outside to
drill
Now, as to the profits which may be reasonably
expected by this company:
The property will accommodate thirteen wells,
and although the Caledonian is producing $50 bar
rels per day, the Homestake wells 200
barrels per day and the Circle we'll Us barrels per
day. all of these being immediate neighbors, let
figure this ultra-conservatively and cut down our
expectations to 50-barrel wells.
Thirteen 5O-barre1 wells would be $50 barrels
per day; figuring % days to the month would mean
1880 barrels per month Figure our cost of pro-
ducton excessively high, at say Il cents per barrel,
would amount to S2,262 per month, leaving US near
ly $4,000 per month net, or nearly $4,000 per year
This amount would enable us TO pay over 100 per
cent per annum dividends on the present purchase
price of the stock. This is figured the most con-
servative way possible.
with all OF the ABOVE information before you,
does not this proposition deserve considera
ton at your hands?
Does it not warrant the closest investigation on
your part? We invite you to make such nvestiga-
ton and to join in with us; and in this connection
remember that in this company every share of
stock placed in the treasury of the company
not one single share having been issued for promo
ton purposes anything of that sort
The officers of the company purchased and paid
for their stock on exactly the basis as it is
offered to you at rs cents per share, the par
value being 81 per share.
We are only offering 100000 shares of this stock
at this initial price and, Judging from the way the
stock has been moving, this allotment can last only
a short time longer.
We want you to investigate this
We therefore make you the following

Possibly every reader of this advertisement
realizes that today the California oil industry
is the greatest money-maker in the world and
unquestionaby each reader would like to Sc
cure his or her share of the tremendous profits
Icing made in this industry.
The only way that it is possible to get your
share of these profits is to secure an interest
in some frst-class company, operating in alb
solutey proven territory and preferably in the
Coalipga field for this is not only the greatest
oil field in the State of California, but prob
ably in the world
This offering is your opportunity to secure
such an interest, and it is the ground-floor
offering OF stock in a company operating an
absolutely proven piece of property in the
Coalinga field
In order to enjoy all of the profits which
arise both from operation OF properties and
appreciation of values, the time to buy stock
in one OF these California oil companies is when
the company is first starting operations when
the stock can be secured at It's lowest price,
and then you are in position to take advan-
tage OF the profits resulting from the rapid in
crease in price of the stock which takes place
as the development work is carried on.
The early investors in practically all of the
successful companies IN the Coal1nga fields
have made money; yes, almost unbelievable
sums of money, from their early investments
There are many cases where stock is now
selling at a hundred times what it cost the
original investors, and, in fact, such cases are
too numerous to mention here.
This company, viewed from an investment
standpoint, possesses several advantages To
begin with they own their land outright hav-
ing no royalties to pay, and to the experienced
investor this is very considerable item Be
ing Incorporated under the laws of Arizona,
with transfer office in New York CITY, this
stock is absolutely worcestershire, and when
once paid for is yours for all time The can
ltalization of the company, 100000 shares. is
extremely low, yet sufficient so that the sale
of this stock will realize ample funds to pav
for the property and carry out all the work
planned for the company, SO that it is not
necessary in arranging this company to have
the stock asseSsable
Our property consists of 20 acres in the
southeast corner of Section %, Tp. 20 s. Range
IA E. right in the heart of the proven Coa1inea
field
The adjoining property OH the south has
recently been purchased by the American Oil
field, Ltd, the big SIS oo0ooo corporation or or
ganized by Messrs. Doheney, Garfield, ODon-
nell and other big; successful oil men of the
American Petroleum company.
The adjoining property on the east is the
choice Section Is of the Kern Trading and Oil
Company, the operating company of the South
ern Pacific, which is regarded as their choicest
land in the Coalinga field
AT the southeast corner of our propertv IS
Section So belonging to the Associated Oil
Company, from which they obtain the biggest
production in the Coalinga field.

THE Court of Appeals has dismissed
the suit against the Burley Tobacco So
ciety brought by certain Clark county
tobacco raisers for the appointment of
receivers, and ordered that the receiv-
ers appointed by Judge Benton turn
over the $500. 900 and over that they
had taken possession of, which was to
its credit IN the Winchester banks. The
suit seems to have been the result of
spite against the society because of the
removal of its headquarters to Lexing-
ton and the result shows the value of
having court of last resort that is not
influenced by local conditions.

1T has practically been decided that
the burial of ARTHUR Goebel by the side
Of his brother in the Frankfort ceme-
terry will occur on the same day the
statue Of Gov. Goebel is unveiled, next
Thursday. Feb. 3. The selection of the
burial place and the date is most appro-
pirate. The same bullet virtually killed
them both and it is mete that united in
life by the tenderest love, their bodies
should not be divided in death. Every
admirer of the martyred governor and
of him whose devotion was unto death,
should make it point to attend the
dual event of unwilling and burial.

REPRESENTATIVES, BEN JOHNSON was
at the White House this morning. He
had a long conference with the presi-
dent but declined positively to state
what matters were considered, says a
Washington dispatch. We suppose he
was explaining to the president why he
took hand in trying to accomplish gag
rule for the Kentucky Senate by sug-
gesting a two-thirds vote to take a bill
from committee and to have the rules
adopted without a vote Of the body.
He might have been successful in con-
vincing the president. but he will have
a hard time making Kentuckians be-
lieve that his suggestions were in Their

A SLICK SCHEME.

THAT there are more ways to kill
dog than by choking him to death with
butter is homely old saw which has
been demonstrated anew by the asso-
citation of circuit judges. There is
constitutional inhibition against the In
crease of an officers salary during his
term, but in order to get around it the
judges laid their heads together and
succeeded in evolving the plan 10 whip
the devil around the stump to the tune
of 81, 200 a year apiece. They prepar-
ed bill which requires them to report
to the governor when they have several
days of vacation between courts, and
from them alone the governor is to ap-
point special judges. For this, wheth-
er they perform any extra work or not,
they are to get 81 200 year each in
mileage, and as there are 80 or 40 judi
cial districts, it will be seen that it is
going to take good bunch of money
to pay the extra allowance, largely
more than the $50, 900 that Gov. Will
son has spent on special judges in the
two years he has been the States ex-
ecutive. The Senate has passed the
bill and it is said the House will follow
its lead. If it does, each judge will get
a salary of 81, 200 year and while the
services of some of them are cheap at
double the price, there are circuit judg-
es in the State that are hardly worth
that many cents. That a majority of
the judges should get more money is
undeniable. but it looks a little bad
when those who are elected to enforce
the law should lay awake at night to
find some way of violating the drastic
principles Of it.

by drunken janitor of the building in
