GAS
The price of crude oil has advanced 100 per cent in the last three years, and the demand is exceeding the supply, yet last year California produced more revenue from oil than gold. The oil
and gas field of Ontario, Or., shows indications of being the largest field in the United States. GOVERNMENT EXPERTS claim this field has one of the largest sedimentary deposits in the
world. MR. HIGGINS, the NOTED oil expert of Beaumont, Texas, predicted that 'this would be one of the LARGEST OIL FIELDS IN THE UNITED STATES, and that he had only
seen two fields in whic, there were so many indications of. oil. Sixty water wells in Ontario and vicinity all produce NATURAL GAS, which has been analyzed and pronounced a very high
grade petroleum gas and for seven years has been used for lighting and heating purposes at Ontario. At the present time there are four companies boring for oil and gas in this vicinity. The
Associated Oil Company of California, the largest oil company in the west, after having this field thoroughly prospected by experts and geologists, is now negotiating for oil leases on lands
around Ontario.
THE ONTARIO CO-OPERATIVE GAS AND OIL COMPANY
Capital Stock 1,000,000 Shares; Par Value $1.00 Per Share, Fully Paid, Non-Assessable
Organization
The officers of the company are all well-known business
men of Ontario, and it was the confidence the people here
had in them that caused the landowners to lease up so
much land witli this company. The president of the com
pany is David Wilson, the largest owner of real estate in
Ontario, and who founded the towns of Davenport and
Harrington, in Washington, and built the California block
in Tacoma. J. R. Hlaekaby. vice-president, is president of
the Hank of ntari, as well as the bank at Jordan Valley.
W. K. Lees, treasurer, is a lawyer and considered the
wealthiest man in 'Malheur county. The directors are A.
'. Hover, who is one of the leading merchants of ( )ntario;
Dr. (I. A. l.'ogne, mavor of Ontario, and A. L. Sproul, who
is postmaster here. W. H. Doolittle of the real estate
firm of Hurbridge cV Doolittle, is the secretary. There
are no salaried officers in this company, and every dollar
received from the sale of stock will be used for boring
purposes. Nearly every business man in (Ontario is a
stockholder in this coniany, which was organized to bore
for oil and gas, and not for stock-jobbing purposes. Ar
rangements have been made for expert drillers and the
heaviest of standard rigs for boring, and the company ex
pects to bore four wells at once to a depth of 2,000 feet or
more, and to thoroughly prospect our leases for oil and gas.
R
OUR OFPE
Commencing Wednesday, August 26, 100,000 shares of this stock will be offered the pub
lic at seven and one half (7) cents per share. Only the above amount of stock wall be sold
at this price.
The heaviest drilling rig ever brought intoihenorthwest, with 4,000 feet of cable, has
already been purchased and will be installed within thirty days, AFTER WHICH NO
STOCK WILL BE SOLD FOR LESS THAJ FIFTEEN CENTS PER SHARE.
Subscriptions will be received by the secretary of the company in person up to and includ
ing Saturday, August 29.
Office open evenings from 7 to 8 p. m.

Value of Holding's
Our holding consist of leases on 1,000 acres of land in the
vicinity of Ontario, which is ten times the amount of land
that any other companies have, and will make our stock
worth ten times as much as stock in a company with only
l,.i0O acres, as the value is determined by the amount of
oil land a company holds. The natural gas alone, without
any oil would make our stock worth par $1 per share, but
with the great amount of leases we have our stock should be
worth from $. to $10 per share if we strike botji oil and gas,
and we have every reason to believe that we will do so.
Xatural gas is one of the most valuable products we could
have in this country, both for fuel and power purposes, and
throughout southern Oregon and Idaho the price of fuel is
almost prohibitive, and every cubic foot of gas produced
can be sold for commercial use at good prices. Reccntlv
an oil company in California with only J.'JOO acres of land
sold its holdings for over $2,000,000, and it is reported that
the Standard Oil Company offered one company in the
Coalinga oil fields in California $20,000,000 for its holdings.
