Up in Whatcom, Wash., a week ago they struck oil. From
Whatcom south through Washington and Oregon to the Califor-
nia line at least twelve companies are preparing to drill, and you
can trace these companies from Whatcom south in a direct line.
There is no connection whatever between these companies. Each
has been promoted and work has been inaugurated independent
of the other, but the prospect, the incentive for action, and the
probability of success is in each case laid on the same foundation
based on theory if you like, bnt a theory that has the support of
tlie best geological knowledge. Geologists have always contend-
ed that the oil belt was continuous through California, Oregon
and Washington. Uutil this strike at Whatcom no oil was ever
found north of California. This find at Whatcom makes our
work a practical enterprise. Theory is knocked into a cocked
bat, as it were. It is certainly practical and not theoretical at
Whatcom. While we have had perfect confidence that develop-
ment work would prove the existence of oil, we think and be-
lieve that the discovery of oil at Whatcom clinches the matter.
It endorses our claims, it proves that oil exists in the northwest,
it wipes out that old question of distance. We now have oil
north as well as south of us. We are betwixt and between, and
if the court knows herself, and we think she does, we will strike
oil. Every dollar you put into this stock will go to direct work
of development. There is no liability beyond the amount you
purchase and pay for. We need your help now anil respectfully
solicit same.
