Yes, made so by the By-Laws of the company, which forbid the board of di rectors from incurring one dollar if indebtedness. There are no bonds, no preferred stock, no debts. Oar Field, Its Location and Indications Right here on the banks of the Columbia River in Eastern Washington and Oregon, where thousand of acres of sagebrush and bunch grass human energy for development, a been made less than a year ago. tne vicinity ot Alder Creek, V asiungton, ana castle Rock, Oregon, illumating gas has been escaping for years through the surface soil. The gas can be burned for hours. Only recently some of the gas coming through the surface soil has been confined in large tanks and con veyed by pipe lines to several cabins, where it is being used for fuel as well as .light. Surely no other oil field has displayed such excellent indications, Oil experts have thoroughly examined the ground and pronounced the prospect very good. We intend to d t ill aoco feet if necessary but from all indications about iooo feet will be sufficient depth. All money ob:a ned will be used lor de veloping purposes, purchasing of additional machinery and other necessary expenses. No expensive salaried . officials are attached to this organization. It is strictly a home company organized, by home capital, A limited amount of stock has been placed on the market at ten (10) cents per share. If this property develops into a gusher or even into a moderate producer it will mean not only a big profit to investors at present prices of Ktock, but it will mean much to this section. It "will bring money into Umatilla County. Arid lands, which ut the present time produce very scant crops, could be irrigated and thereby increase their product tenfoid by having water pumped from the Columbia river with the help of gas and oil for fuel. Think of the vast benefits to this region. The test of oil as a steam-producing fuel was made years ago; it is noth ing new; its value has been well established, and the only thing needed to bring it into universal use was the dis covery of an inexhaustible supply. Oil fires a boiler three and one-half times quicker than coal; has a greater efficiency and cleanliness; requires less room and is far cheaper. Railroads, steamships and manufacturers, commerce of every description finds greater saving pos sible by the use of fuel oil, Active Operations One of the largest, modern standard drilling rigs has been put into operation near the Washington side of the Columbia rive. Our Drillers Our drillers arc old experienced men at the business, and if there is any possible way of getting results, we are positive that they will accomplish nuch. It is the univeral opinion that the surface indications compare favorably with any of the gas and oil fields in the United States. Several experts who have investigated the discovery make this report. General Manager on the Field Ross Beardslcy, our efficient Vice-President, and one of the first discoverers of the gas, is in charge of the company's interests on tne drilling ground. A more en thusiastic and earnest worker, tully alive to the interests of all the stockholders, could not be found anywhere. Fortunes in Oil The wealth made and to be made in tho production and marketing of oil is likewise so apparent that it is almost needless to recite the figures and comparison- No other proposition has ever supplied such riches as have oil wells for the amount of time and money invested in them. Oil is so easily handled after a well is secured and so short a time is needed before results can be obtained, that it is the quickest dividend bearer The Standard Oil Company in 1897, 1898, 1899, 1900, 1901 and the first part of 1902, have paid 202,000,000 in dividends.
