Oil Investments.

An examination of the history or
investments in new oil fields shows
astounding fortunes realized from
almost insignificant investments.
In one instance for which we have
q sworn affidavit, the investor re-
ceived $3.50. 10000 cash from an in
vestment Of S25000 in a new oil
field.
The oil industry is in an enviahie
position and condition at the pres
ent time
It offers the most attractive in
vestment field in the world today.
The development and the use Of the
automobile, auto truck. stationary
gas engine. farm tractors. the Die
sci oil engine for use in every type
of marine craft from tiny tug to
mammoth freighter and passenger
ship. the astounding development
and use OF aeroplanes and dirigible
mir ships. have all created an over
whelming demand for petroleum
products-and the demand is only
in its infancyli
There is room for immense eX-
pansion in the use of all power
units using petroleum products for
fuel-it is inevitable. Civilization
in its present state OF exceptional
development and demand cannot
exist without petroleum. There Is
only one conclusion: New oil fields
must be opened up.
The market is assured for years
TO come.
Fortunes are certain for owners
Of producing oil wells-especiall
in new fields with large output.

it is not at all unreasonable to assume
that when it comes to the question of
whetheh the Republican party shall be
managed by the reactionary element or
the progressive element he would feel
just as Crane and Penrose would feel
about it.
On ana Under Surface.
On the surface Hemenway is for
Hays for national chairman, but it is
understood that below the surface he is
for reactionary control and for Adams.
There has been a good deal of talk
about the attitude Of Adams himself
as to the prosecution Of the war against
Germany. Some of the men who al
ready have arrived here say that the
fact that Thompson and LaFollette IA

Investigation and Results

A short time ago the officers OF
the OH. CITY UTILITIES COM
PANY investigated the Olympic
Field and satisfied themselves that
here was an unusually attractive
field for development.
A great deal of time and money
was expended in the examination OF
tie various parts of the field and
the collection OF data on many anti
clines. They finally selected four
tracts comprising about $40 acres
near the center of the field at OIL
CITY on the Hob River.
The geological cross section Of
the anti-clines on this property was
worked out and a shaft was sunk
bv hand on one of them to a depth
az eighteen feet This shaft pro
duced five gallons per day of very
fine petroleum. indicating strong
geepage from the deep sands.
The conclusions reached were
verified by the examination and re-
ports which followed by both the
state OF Washington and United
states biologists. All of the reports
were favorable.
An unusually complete standard
drilling rig. equipment and casing
supply was installed fifteen hun
dred feet from the shaft above men.
toned. This well, Number 1, is now
over three hundred feet deep, has
encountered several thick sands
with strong showings Of oil and
gas. and expert opinion predicts a
xusher in less than two thousand
saqt of depth.

Holdings Of the Oil City
Utilities Company.

The property Of the company
consists OF two claims containing
three hundred acres at OIL CITY.
On one OF these claims the compa-
ny owns drilling equipment which
could not be duplicated on the
ground at present prices for less
than sixty thousand dollars.
IN addition TO this IS the invest
ment in the well which as stated is
now three hundred feet deep.
There Is on this property about
ten million feet of merchantable
timber.
The company also owns a very
favorable option on two moro
claims, 800 acres, with all the oil,
mineral, timber and surface rights,
at a figure which should net the
company a very substantial profit
from the sale of the timber besides
leaving the land and oil values
