Prank Went Holltns, ex-Oovernor
of New Hampshire, pleaded RUllty at
New York, Friday, to the charge of
conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment of cuBtoma duties, and paid a
fine of 3G00.
President Tuft has told several
cullerB he Intends to stand by Secre
tary Hulllnger, for he Is convinced of
Mr. HalllnKer's Innocence either of
wrongdoing or of Improper motives.
The President says that he does not
consider that Bollinger's accusers
have made out any case against him.
On top of this announcement from
the White House comes the reitera
tion of Secretary HalllnKer's purpose
to hold on to his position, notwith
standing a renewal of the reports in
friendly papers that he is soon to
resign.
The Joint convention between the
United Mlneworkers and the Illinois
operators adjourned at Peoria, Fri
day, and a strike was declared by
the millers. Tills strike affects the
entire state or Illinois and will In
volvo between 72.1100 and 7n,000
men, and It Is said that In the min
ers' strike fund there is now about
$7f0,000, or $10 per man. The
mines nlrendy have been suspended
for 50 days without this rund being
drawn on, but It appears Insufficient
for a prolonged strike.

UTH NUMBER 11
The Stock of the California National Crude
Oil Company advances to 50 cents
per Share on May 28
THOSE stockholders who have purchased stock and those who are about to
purchase at 40c perv share, are about to realize 25 per cent on their invest
ment already, as the stock goes to 50 cents this coming week. And this isn't
the first advance either. There is no doubt in our minds that you will see this
stock soaring way up in dollars soon, and when you do, we know you will wish
that you had a larger block. We would advise all who can possibly do so to
purchase before the end of the week and take advantage of the rise.
lnr making big money, then1 is nothing
In tin limHtincnt world today that will
iH'ur comparison fur 11 moment with (lit
opportunities n (inn led by California oil
stocks.
Dozens and Knurs of these storks are
Helling today for many times tin' prices at
which they were originally placed on the
market.
In the advance f ide p;mt year many of
(hem have yielded profits of several hund
red per cent to investors.
hi production and earnings the oil wells
have distanced the gold mini's.
Thousands of eoplc enjoying a com
petence today owe (heir good fortune to
moderate invest ills in California oil.
lty still other thousands the successes of
the past will he duplicated dining (he
present year.
Now, don't he a sslmist and say (hat
this is iuiiosihle. Tacts are fads, and if
you only lake the trouble (o look into same
you will find that this is true.
The uriter ranie across a beautiful arti
cle some time ago entitled "The Optimist
Versus the IVssimist." Itead It. It won't
hurt you.
The Optimist Versus
The Pessimist
"The optimist lives under a clear sky,
the pessimist l.'ves in a Tog. The pessi
mist is confused; he hardly knows where
to t;o. what to do or how to act; the opti
mist is In tune with the harmonics of na
ture and dhuvrns disiiu.-tly the onward
path that lies before him. The pessimist
hesitates, and loses both time and oppor
tunity; the optimist makes the best use
or everything now. and builds himself up,
steadily and surely, until nil adversity is
overcome and tho object In view realized.
The pessimist curbs his energies and con
centrates his whole attention upon failure;
the optimist gives all his thought and
power to (ho attainment of success, and
arouses his faculties and forces to the
highest point of elUdem-v. The pessi
mist waits for better times, and expects
to keep on wilting; the optimist goes to
work with the best that is at hand now,
and proceeds to create better times.
"The optimist is an inspiration to every
body; the pessimist a wet blanket. The
pessimist pours cold water on the tires of
his own ability; ihe optimist adds fuel to
those fires. The pessimist links his mind
to everything that is losing ground; the
optimist lives, thinks and works with
everything that is determined to press on.
The pessimist places a damper on every
thing; the optimist gives life, fire and go
to everythir g. The pessimist repels every
thing; the optimist attracts everything.
The pessimist fights the wrong; the opti
mist works to increase the power of the
right. The optimist is a building force.
The pessimist is nhvays an obstacle in the
way of progress. The pessimist lives in
ti dark, soggy, unproductive world, the
optimist lives in that mental sunshine that
makes nil things grow."
Do you realize how trim all this is?
Don't you appreciate that, the optimist is
the successful man? The optimist is the
man who invests for he believes some good
will come from such an investment, and as
every real fortune that ever was made re
sulted from investment, it is optimism that
makes success.
The pessimist Is the man who looks with
suspicion upon nil investment opportuni
ties, and while he is hemming and hawk
ing and failing to act, an optimist grasps
the opportunity, make his investment, and
gets his start In life.
It required n generous supply of opti
mism for men to go ahead and develop
what is todav the greatest wealth pro
ducer in the world California Oil Lands
hut their optimism has been repaid.
Allen (i. Nichols, editor of the "Oil In
dustry," gives a few pertinent facts tu a
recent issue of one of the leading daily
palters, and he writes regarding this won
derful Oil Industry.
"Only a half-century old the oil indus
try in the I'nlted States has already ex
ported more than $:!, 000. 000,1)00 worth of
the refined material. In other words. In
fifty years the total amount received for
refined oil exported has been greater
than the value of the entire production
of gold In the I'nited States since Colum
bus discovered America. Since tSOU, the
year in which sixty small casks were sent
lo France as an experimental shipment,
the amount exported has been greater in
value than the production of gold in the
entire world for the same period. Within
the memory of living man the Infant has
grown to a giant Industry that gives em
ployment to 70.000 men in the fields and
refineries alone, and whose annual pay
roll amounts to millions of dollars.
"The spring pole rig used along Oil creek
has given place to modern machinery, op
erated by carefully trained men. The ox
trains that hauled oil in barrels over
roads unworthy of the name have been
succeeded by thousands of miles of steel
pipe line, great trains of oil tanks and the
modern oil-carrying ships, whose capacity
in some cases is over 80.000 barrels.
"Kverything that coal has done for the
Kast, crude oil is doing for California, and
since its general use, less than ten years
ago, 4 ways and means have been devised
lo use crude oil in California, the same
ns coal is used itr other parts of the
United States, and the public at large have
shown their appreciation of its value by
the adoption of crude oil wherever fuel
Is needed. As u result of this a stream
of gold is distributed In California to hold
ers of ' California Oil Company stocks,
which amounts to many millions of dollars
per year."
V. V. Orchntt. one of the most promi
nent consulting ingineers and geologists in
this country, in a recent report on a Cali
fornia Oil Company, had the following to
say nhout California oil lands:
"There Is no place in the world where
the oil measures are so amply and thor
oughly saturated as in California. This
makes California oil wells big producers
and long-lived." He then goes on and
cites incidents where even on large acre
ages, such ns 120 acres, the production
today has been ns high ns 90,000 barrels
per acre, and the land still producing
heavily.
The Investor with sufilclent judgment
to see these great possibilities, and tho
optimism, which generates nerve to back
this judgment, will be literally swept to
fortune on this great Hood of oil which
ilows through the proven fields of Cali
fornia. The optimism and courage of
the pioneer oil men of California have
made thorn millionaires. They learned
the truth of that great saying: "One good
investment is worth a lifetime of labor."
What optimism and oil have done for
others they will do for you. for really only
the surface of the possibilities of California
oil have been scraped. There are today
numerous new companies just starting to
develop their land, in which stock can be
bought at extremely low figures. Within
two years we will undoubtedly find the
stock of the great majority of these com
panies listed on the stock exchanges, and
paying the same kind of generous divi
dends that so many of the other companies
are now paying after perhaps only two
years of operation.
All this is possibly interesting reading,
and we trust that truths given here will
sink deep into the hearts of our readers,
and that they will start on the compara
tively easy road to making money by hav
ing the optimism and courage to make
investment in some gowl California oil
stock."
NOW
We have shown that you should he an
optimist, at least as far as California oil
is concerned. Xow, you being an optimist,
we will tell about one of the companies
that will soon stand, if not at the head, at
least very near the head of the California
Oil Producing companies, and that is the
California National Crude Oil Company.
This company has purchased thousands of
acres of land in the Coalinga Oil District,
which is recognized as the largest produc
ing oil district in California. It Is selling
stock for the development of the same.
The par value of this stock is one dollar,
and the present purchase price Is 40 cents.
It is only a question of a short time until
the stock will lie selling at par. Vc id
vise the early purchase at -10 cents. Tte
in'Miiber this stock goes to 50 cents on the
-'Nth of .May and not a share can be bought
for less after that date. Now, don i hesi
tate. Buy now. and do so quick.
