A Good Investment Is Worth A Life Time of Toil. yL is one of the greatest things in this country to-day. More fortunes have been made and are being made in Oil than in any other known commodity. Of course the first principle of making money is to provide the public something that the public wants when it wants it, and for which the public is willing to pay the producer's price. Too many men make failures who face the other way and try to sell the public something which they want the public to have, and thus the provider is ultimately obliged to sell at the public s price, and in that there is little or no profit. Oil is a necessity, and new uses are being made of it every day. On the Pacific Coast Oil is about the only fuel used, and even two of our largest railroad systems use California Crude oil for locomotive fuel.
BROWN GOLD. Dv R. S. Xote: (I Wo wish the reader to know that term "Brown Gold" means California Crtule Oil) When J ud El wood a woke one morning in his cabin, located near IJakersfield in the State of California, and decided to go on a rabbit hunt, Uy his lonely," he little dreamed the result of that decision and the subsequent trip was to lead to the discovery of one of the greatest Brown Gold producing districts in the world; and naturally thethought never occurred to Jud, because he had in mind simply hunting for raäjfbits, not minerals. To quote Jud, as he (gave the account of his find to the writer, he on that morning left his cabin accompanied by bus gun and dogs; and Jud, by the way, was always fond of dogs and had a few that were as good as any in Kern County ; ami Jud knows a good dog, too, and why not? His old home Bakersfield is the "Mecca to which all really good ones make an annual pilgrimagt to attend the great National Tryout. Well, to continue Jud's story, he started out in a direction to the northwest of his cabin toward the foothills, and after securing a good-sized bag of cotton tails was returning homeward, when his attention was attracted in one direction to the different hues of the early morning mist which, rising from the soil, gave off a color that had the appearance of being a brown colored haze, or a "something" entirely different from that noticeable in other directions, with the result that Elwood was soon convinctd of the presence of Brown Gold and the existence of the Kern River District today proves bis deductions to have been correct. Jud had Ward work at first in his efforts to convince friends and neighbops as to the importance of his find, his deductions not being accqrted eveti by experts as being at all reasonable, which brings to mind the curious story told of the earliest discovery of Brown Gold in Hhis country during the days of Colonel Drake. The 'Wise Ones at that time smiled at the prospector, being amuse! a the mere idea of finding Brown Gold in the earth. The son of one old farmer brought home the news of Col. Drake's! find, which to the mind of the old man was utterly absurd, consequently he would not believe it. "If you had told me that they bad found whisky. I could readily understand it,' for we know that whisky is made from corn ami it might easily soak through! the roots of the stalk and accumulate in the earth, but flowing Brown Gold, never." As a consequence the adverse opinions and criticisms to which Jud was suibject showed neither sympathy nor support, which made h'im fullv realize the old truth that "no I.

man is a prophet in his own country" and the sequence in all probability would have been that the. great body of mineral wealth which had been lying there dormant for many ages would have remained undisturbed if it were not for the stranger who took advantage of the opportunity and backed his judgment with money. This fact is notorious in the history of the development of the great Kern river district. Practically, and excqning one old firm which hail 'pinned its fait'h on what is now famous as the "West Side," th'e district where gushers are making millionaires nearly every dav, the 'brains and means which developed the great Brown Gold districts of California, which today is by long odds the greatest producing country in the world, came fron the outside; from the stranger. The local capitalist and others of smaller means, being absolutely blind as to the opportunity then within their grasp. From other jortions of the state, California capital and brains took a leading part in the early development. Well known merchants, lawyers, doctors, lumber and fruit men taking a loading part, and to the list must be added the many 'hundreds of the comparatively smaller investors, such as mechanics, railroad men arid particularly the strong support and backing furnished by the Keen department store eimploye two Los Angeles stores alohc supporting hundreds of investors, each one helping tire development in amounts that ranged from $00 by he lady caishiers to $2,300 by managers: of departments. Another interesting feature in this connection was the impetus given by residents of the "Show Me" state. They sent their delegations to investigate, were duly "shown" and as a consequence their su'bS'Oquent investments have added many millions ()f dollars in Brown Gold to the world's wealth. Soma towns of alou.t 20,000 inhalbitants furnishing more "sinews" than did any one of the wealthy eastern states. It was not very Ionig after the Elwood discovery before all the good land in the district was acquired, principally by mining, fruit, Lumber and other men, who through business connection's1 and associates were brought into active touch with the exact situation in Kern county, and who were quick to take atlvanage of the immense possibilities and profits to be ultimately derived from the development of Brown Gold as against that of any other kind of mining or industrial enterprise. And, as a consequence those who later on decided to engage in the industry were compelled to go elsewhere and secure lands in other districts, where the indications, and general appearance of the country

OREGON'S EXPERIMENT.
The machinery of 'government in this country is too complicated too top-heavy Its very unwieldness is an aid to corrupt politics and the stronghold of bossism. Any means of simplifying government will be welcome and every state in the union should watch Oregon closely in her experiments in that dirction. Chicago Journal.
It Contemplates a New. Form of State Government. Besides pointing the way for making United States Senators responsible to the people, Oregon is advancing in other directions in the science government. Presently we shall see ninetcnths of tine elective officers of Oregon eliminated. Governor, auditor, legislators will appoint all other executive officers and must stand responsible for them. The governor and cabinet, as is the Canadian custom will have seats in the house. Three government advisers experts in administration, will be chosen, and every three months every householder in Oregon will receive a copy of the ofiicial gazette reporting every act of government. In other words, the people of Oregon are going to apply to state government -a variation of the commission system which has solved municipal problems with such success in several middle cities.

were similar to those prevalent in the Kern rivcT district. This "crowding out," which led to the compulsory seeking for other districts was particularly fortunate from the fact that it lead to the further exploiting, development and ultimately 'the proving up of the greatest of all California Brown Gold Districts. "Cbalimra" The stupendous magnitude and the recent rapid advancement made in the development of this great Brown Gold district" is such as fullv warrants the nam? the "WOXDER DISTRICT," and in order to fully appreciate its immense) richness and the development thereof which has been made during the past few years, which' period covers the real opening up of the field, a comparison will be necessary, and tor the purpose of making an intelligent one, the celebrated Kern river District, the field that is generally (and was truly) regarded as being the greatest and richest producer of Brown Gold in the world will bet taken. The authentic, up to date figures used in order to substantiate the statements made are those compiled for the month of March 1910, and they are interesting as well as remarkable from the fact that they prove unquestionably the supremacy of Coalinga, the Wonder District of California and shows it to be by all odds, through comparison of present development, as well as by results, actual production the King of all Brown Gold (districts. The figures referred to, which cover the total production of those two great Brown Gold districts for the month of March, 15)10 are: Barrels. Coalinga District 1,231,000 Kcrn River District ..1,100,000 barrels of .42 gallons each, the difference in favor of the Coalinga district being B1!,00() 'barrels for the month. BUT when the present development of Iboth districts are taken into consideration, the startling fact is realized that the Great Coalinga district produced this enormous qtflanfilty of Brown Gold with less than one-half the number of wells as compared with "the more thoroughly developed and comparativly older district, the Kern River. And by a further comparison of the average production per well in the two districts it is shown that the Coalinga district well produced two and onehalf times as much Brown Gold as was protrced by the Kern river dictrict well in the same period, or in other words to make the contract more apparent, while the average Kern River well was. producing 800 barrels the average Coalinga well was producing 2,000 barrels.

Having shown by facts and figures that Coalinga is the greatest producing Uisrict, it is now pertinent to refer to another point in order to show the fu-rtlter great advantage this district has in facilities for marketing or moving the product to Tiikiwater, and this brings up the subject of transportation, which as a matter of fact was the one and practically the only handicap with which, until recently, the producer of Brown Gold in California has had to contend. Producing a commodity without the facilities of getting it to a market is like findinig a Yellow- Gold mine in the heart of Africa without being able to handle the ore or getting the product 'to the outside world. Such was the story of BroAvn Gold found in the heart of California. No means of transportation, excepting by the few thousand tank cars furnished by the Tailroafds, which at its best was a totally inadequate, as well as very expensive servrce. Now," however, those condition have 'been completely changed ami with a due appreciation of the magnitude and importaince of the? "Wonder" of all producing districts, the .Coalinga producer has. at his disposal the service of the following great pipe Hne systems one of six-inch and four of eight and ten-qnch capacity each, making in all five great through pipe lines, which extend to various coast points north and west from the district to market, i. e. Tid'Clwater. These lines are: Associated from Coalinga! to Monterey, from Coalinga to Port Costa; Producers fronn Coalinga to Port Harford; Standard from Coalinga to Mendota, the latter two beng parallel lines, which connect with the through line to Point Richmond on San Francisco Bay. The product is handled by the transportation company or companies with which the producer elects to do business, which concerns, at their cost and expense, run pipe lines to the property and take care of the product, thus relieveing the producer of all further work. From tidewater points the Brown Gold is shipped north, south, east and west, from Alaska in the north to Giili in the south ; and over

seas as far as Japan, and portions of it even as far as Au-stralia. The Coalinga district offers a product capable of further immense development; offers ample facilities for the marketing- of the same; offers a market which is practically unlimited, coupled with a demand for the commodity, which all present efforts have as yet been unable to supply. With all these facts in mind, can a single argument he advanced that will contradict the statement that an investment made now in Coalinga Urorwn Gold is the best investment extant? How or where can I make an investmen whereby I may participate in the distribution of the immense amount of mineral wealth with which California is so favored and the development of which is still m its infancy? How? By making an invest- -ment in a company that has something to offer in return for your investment, and the more they "have and hold" the greater will be your return thereon. Where?
