OIL NEWS
Opportunity is knocking mighty loud right here at home today.
Can you hear? The Crescent Oil Company is the other name for the
visitor. You have heard that there is oil here somewhere ever since
Shep was a pup but until now no business-like move has been made
to get down to the work of actual discovery.
The Crescent Oil Company is sinking its well at a cost of less
than two dollars and a half per foot as compared to prices of from
twenty-five to sixty dollars per foot of many an other prospecting
company. The reason for the difference is that The Crescent Oil
Company has as its president, Ed. C. Miller, an oil man of wide
experience running the drill. He has put every dollar he has into
this proposition, and is drawing down no salary, but is betting
everything on the discovery of oil.
He is not in a position nor of the disposition to blufT or delay.
He is making the Crescent Oil Company an enviable record for
economy and actual development work done. We are paying the
smallest commissions to agents of any prospecting company known
to us and the result is that we are getting a well drilled without
taking much of the stock out of the treasury. Some people may
not think of points like that when buying but get this point. Those
who have bought "Crescent Oil stock at the 25-cent price will
appreciate the fact, when we become a producing company shortly,
that the business foundation was- laid right. It will mean that
Crescent Oil Stock will have many times the value it would have
had if its treasury had been wasted or the work had been done at
great expense by those not Interested in the Company.
We are here to win or lose with the people of Southwest Wash
ington and for every five thousand dollars raised we will drill a
well and show for sure whether there is oil in the hole or not. We
are not out to sell stock to get money but to drill wells and get oil.
We believe that this policy will win.
A good Bhowing of oil Band was passed at the 400-foot-level.
We had a small showing of coal at the 600-foot-level and are now
going down with an eight-inch hole. The water is shut off and at
any moment a real commercial showing may be struck. To profit,
you must buy stock. Waiters will be weepers in that great day.
Until a Bhowing of commercial value is fdund stock will be sold
for 25 cents a share. After the discovery, it will be priced accord
ing to the value. Buy now to buy right.

The following is taken from the
last issue of the Tenino News:
"Two masked men Saturday night
entered one of Grant-Smith's shacks
near the Chein Hill mill and ordered
the occupants, Mike Leachy and three
others whose names were not learned
to hold up their hands. Mr. Leachy
in complying with the command,
struck his back on the side of the
shack throwing him forward, and one
of the hold-up men, thinking he
meant to grapple with him, shot him
throught the right hand, fracturing
several bones and leaving ad ugly
wound. He was brought to Tenino
by Marshal Hughes where his hand
was dressed by Dr. Wilson and he
was sent to the Olympia hospital. The
shack had been occupied by a bunch
of Greeks, who had just left, and it
is thought that the robbers had in
tended to relieve them of their mon
ey."

The question which now causes so
much discussion among the farmers
is: "The low prices of farm products
and high taxes." The average ener
getic farmer feels that the constant
reduction in prices of his farm pro
ductions will not aid him in paying
the exorbitant taxes that are being
thrust upon him. Better prices for
his products will not only aid him
in paying his taxes, but will cheer up
his countenance.

W. H. Bock, private secretary to

There is a surveying party near
here running lines that are supposed
to be for the purpose of locating a.
new roadway into Tono. Now If such
is really the intention of the honor
able county commissioners they will
have made many political and genial
friends in this section, if it is merely
another bluff we will all turn Social
ists, if not anarchists. Really an in
gress and egress to the thriving little
town of Tono would be much appre
ciated by the people, no* only in Tono
but by the farmers and general pub
lic. It is a shame to know there fcre
real live people not any farther away
than Olympia who before last sum
mer did not know there was such a
place as Tono on the map. Not ear*-
lier than last Labor day, when the
Tono Miners entered a float in the
day parade in Olympia, a citi
zen of Olympia was heard to ask:
"Where is this place they call Tono—
ain't it an island up by Steilacoom?"
Well, give us a road, then come out
and look Tono over and the writer
will bet you will be surprised to see
a real enterprising city, not an annex
to an Insane asylum.
