Suppose you had gone into a vlr- gin oil field with a man who CLAIMED to be able to know low to locate streams of oil anywhere from 1900 to 2,00O feet below the surface.
 Suppose you had seen him make good on ONE well. but still be lieyed that he was GUESSING.
 Mathcmatically Xpress ed, wouldn't the chances be something like at least ten to one against hls locating any oil well at all by MERE CUE ESS!
 And if he guessed right the first time. wouldn't 1t be easily q one hundred tO one shot the second time that he could not repeat!
 Now, suppose yOu went with this same man to SEVEN different fieldS-in all of which there had never been any producing wells and every time he made good on his statement that there was oil! Suppose that every place he told them to drill a well developed oil at the approximate depth that he had SAID it would develop, and in the same amount that he proph- esied! |
 Pretty soon, you would have to do some THINKING, wouldn't you!
 When you had watched this same man bring in THE LUCKY SEVENTH well, what would you think about his SEN EN I'll STRAIGHT GUESS?
 As matter of fact, it is cX- tremely improbable that any MERE GUESSER could by any

PICTURE of the product of ONE WELL on our tract.
 Let's switch to dollars, for a moment or two:
 The freight alone on oil from the California field here is q dol lar barrel. From the Texas field it is $1.25 a barrel. Suppose we get the price of 50 cents per barrel. plus the freight. Let's BE CONSERVATIVE and cut the 2,190,000 barrels into two parts. and THROW AWAY the million and one hundred and ninety thOus- and barrels keeping only the mil lion.
 The million barrels would net Sl 300, ,OOO-which is one and a half times the entire capitalization ot the company.
 And, at the rate which We are now selling the stock. TEN CENTS PER SHARE. it would mean q return of at least ONE DOLLAR and a HALF to the in- vestOr in dividends from ONE WELL, on every TEN CENTS INVESTED - if the foregoing premises are realized.
 If we get for our oil just what the FREIGHT costs us, $1.0O per barrel. at this same conservative calculation, one we'll would return Sl,O0O,OOO per year. a sum equal to the capitalization of the company, and return to the investor at 10 cents of Sl.00 for each dime.
 The allotment of this TEN CENT price is being rapidly ab- Sorbed. Shall we have YOUR subscription today?

for settlement from the statement that
the engineers have calculated that to-
tai of 100000 cubic feet of earth must
be handled in levelng the hills and NIL
ing the valleys. Three steam shovels and
their crews, together with eight dlnkey
engines and as many trains of dirt cars
and their crews, besides about 300 Ia
borers and scores of carts ana horses, are
employed night and day-from /. O'Clock
Sunday night. to IL o'clock Saturday
night, week in and week out-in the grad
ing work. and the earth is being moved
at an average rate of 900 cubic yards
each twenty-four hours. When this phase
of the Improvement OF the tract is COM
pleted It is estimated it will have cost
fully 81 100000 e. G. Gummel has the
contract for the physical Improvement of

meIs men have laid three and one-half
miles OF narrow-gauge track for the
dinkey engines and the dirt trains to
carry the earth from the hillSideS into
the valleys, and this trackage constantly
is being increased as the hauis become
longer.
The largest cut to be made in the tract
is in the triangular space between WIS
consin and Massachusetts avenues, and

twenty to thirty feet above the level of

line and thence into p street and to the

another phase of the transportation prob

bill is being prepared which contemplates
the construction Of another trolley line
which wilIe tap the tracks on Wisconsin
avenue at Macomb street. and run thence
through Macomb street, 34th street, Cleve-
land avenue and Calvert street to Con-
necticut avenue. Whether this line will
run from Calvert street and Connecticut
avenue over the new Connecticut avenue
bridge and along Connecticut avenue to
connect with the Mt. Pleasant line of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, or whether it will cross the CAL
vert street bridge on the tracks Of the
Chevy Chase line Of the Capital Traction
Company, are points in the question which
have not yet been decided. though it is
practically a certainty that the new car
line will follow about the route indicated
through Massachusetts, Avenue Heights.

low the topography of the ground, every
possible advantage being taken Of the
slope of the hills and the dip of the val
leys to secure winding roadways. Much
of the tract is covered with a natural
growth of forest trees. and all of this
verdure is being retained. save that which
must be removed to afford space for the
highways Ultimately it will be necessary
to cut a few more of the trees on differ
ent lots to give room for the construc-
ton of houses. though nearly all of the

villa sites varying in size from one-fourth
acre to nine acres. These. il is proposed,
shall be sold with such restrictions that
each villa site may be improved by
houses situated in their own parks and
reached by their own private park drives.
Work on this proposed addition to the
city was begun in February of the pres
ent year, and it is expected the last or
the hills will have been leveled, the last
of the valleys filed, the final sections of

this, where realty development has been
prosecuted with an eye to preservation
of the natural beauties of. the land.
The development and marketing or the
land which is now called Massachusetts
Avenue Heights is not new idea in the
minds of the men who are promoting
the present enterprise, because this whole
section could have been opened to set
tlement, streets cut through and the
whole area might now be wen popul:,t-
ed addition to the city. if the owners of
lines laid down in the permanent syS-
tenn of highways in the District of Column
bia.'' But if the development had been
permitted to progress along these lines it
would have meant merely succession or
east and west and north and south streets
or in other words, an extension OF the
city along purely city lines.
Special Law Secured.
But il happened that the holders of the
land had ideas of their own concerning
the best plan to develop their land, and 1t
by Congress of a special bill, which pro-
this section might follow certain original
lines before the owners would consent
that q single shovelful of earth might be
moved. Plans for the highways and park
areas in Massachusetts Avenue Heights
were submitted 70 the owners by many
landscape architects and civil engineers,
but the plan proposed by a local man.

and incorporated into the bill in Con-
gress, which is now "a law. According to
Mr.. Howelrs plan nearly all of the

Villa Sites East Of Avenue.

Altogether there are forty-four squares OF
all sizes and shapes in the heights Most
of the villa sites lie to the east OF Massa-
chusetts avenue, and it is in this area
that the highways have been given the
most careful parking treatment. Park
drive, one of the new thoroughfares, ex-
tends from Garfield street. which is at
almost the northern end of the heights,
all the way to Rock Creek valley, where
it intersects with Rock Greek drive, an
extension of the present Rock Creek
drive, which, 1t is proposed, shall extend
down the valley under Connecticut avenue
bridge and to connect finally with Massa-
chusetts avenue. A park varying in width
from 100 feet to 400 feet has been dedi-
Gated along both sides Of Park drive all
the way through the heights. Woodland
drive is another winding parked nigh
way, as are 32d street, Fulton street and
several other thoroughfares.
In the opening Of SO large a section
naturally, a problem arose regarding the
transportation facilities to the center Of
