work.
Some of the methods of the
Kennedy promotion are just
coming to light. For instance,
an unprincipled Ii c i t o a
would inveigle Mexicans or
other irresponsible persons in
to giving their notes for'stock
and then take cash from the
funds of the company for their
commission on the sale. We
are also advised that the Ken
nedy outfit never drilled over
two hundred feet on the Hoop
er well.
ORDINARILY, investors in an
oil scheme or any other SINH
lar enterprise are content if
they are given an honest run
for their money and in the
newly organized plan to de-
velop the possibilities of oil in
this valley, the people are
guaranteed an absolutely hon
est and business-like admins
tration of affairs. The pro-
moters, or at least some of
them, invested heavily in the
Kennedy proposition; they
have taken their losses like
good sports and are going fur
ther into the game. If sue
cessful, and if oil is discovered
in commercial quantities, the
prosperity of the valley will
be greater than ever dreamed.
