THINK THIS PROPOSITION OVER
We have 1000 acres of leases in the Nueces River Basin
near Calallen, Texas. Our derrick and machinery are set and
520 feet 10-inch surface casings set in cement. We are in the
cenler of a great gas territory. Our Allen No. 1 well cored sul-
phur, gas and oil sands at different depths. We are now
drilling in the lowest place on our lease between the hills and
the Nueces river. A real trap exists here as the river bends
and the hills follow the river. Our geologist and minerologist
find several oil sands in this basin, the deep one, he says, should
make immense wells. We believe when the drill bit goes down
he will be right, as we did core one oil sand twice in our Allen
No. 1, at 3960 feet which tested oil. This well was lost as the
surface casing collapsed.
Most all the Coastal fields have been found along rivers, or
in bayous, basins or out on low, muddy flats. In drilling our first
520 feet in this new well we had good gas showings. Also found
thick formations, pink gumbo, twice between 350 feet and 450
feet. This formation was 500 feet deeper in our Allen No. 1 and
from 500-1000 feet higher up in this well than generally found
in any of the wells in this entire territory. This does Show,
while our basin on the surface fcs our lowest place, we have a
great push up of the sub-surface structure underneath. And
generally on lop of these great push-ups are fonnd your oil-
fields, as oil generally concentrates into the sands at the
highest point.
While this Is our supposition nevertheless this is geology
and the drill bit will prove or disprove our theory in a short
time. Wo are going to drill this well to 4,000 feet, but believe
we will find paying oil sands at a shallow depth. This is a
great opportunity to buy in a large lease of 1,000 acres and all
wells to be drilled, and we might open up a big field with im-
mense profits for all interested. Offer our_undivided interests
at 650.00 each (terms if you wish) in this 1000 acres Qf leases.
A few shares might make you comfortable, maybe wealthy, if
giant gushers should he found. We have these possibilities and
chances. Our reputation of fair, honest dealing stands behind
all our work. Mail checks to

A teacher asked her class to write
an essay on geese. This paper wjis
turned in by an eight-year-old miss:
"Geese is a low, heavy set bird,
which js mostly meat and feathers.
His head sits on one end and he
sits on the other. He ain’t got no
between-his-toes, and he’s got a bal-
loon in his stummick to keep him
from sinking. Some geese, when
they get big, has curls on their
tails and is called ganders. Gand-
ers don’t huff to sit and hatch, but
just eat an’ loaf and* go in swlm-
min.’ If I was a goose I'd rather
be a gander.’’

The newsboys of the United States concluded their recent three-day pilgrim-
age to Washington by marching to the White House on Christmas afternoon and
presenting President Hoover and Mrs. Hoover with a miniature Napoleonic
coach. The gift coach is exactly like those which thousands of American boys
are building in the competition for four university scholarships and 980 other
awards. It was built at the newsboys’ request, by the experts of the Fisher
Body Craftsman’s Guild, which also sponsors the nationwide coach-building
competition. ►

AUSTIN OBSERVATIONS
By Geo.' W. Coltrin, Representative
The opening of the 42nd Legis-
lature was quite a reunion to all
old members, and get-acquainted
rally for the new ones. The person-
al equation enters rather largely
into the solving of legislative prob-
lems.
It isn’t news to state that Fred
H. Minor was elected speaker of
the House with no opposition. The
Senate does not elect its presiding
officer, the duties of that position
falling upon the lieutenant gover-
nor. Hence, Barry Miller presided
over on the senatorial side until
Edgar Witt had been sworn in,
which took place Tuesday.
The Legislature has some trouble
in adjusting itself to the terms of
the new 120 day session. However,
wherein it may adjust itself it has
the power to adjust the amendment
to the legislatures own mind, by a
four-fifth vote of Its members.
It Is still too early to predict any-
thing about coming legislation, but
it isn’t hard to forseg that most of
us Rubes are going to have trouble
in renting dress-suits for the gov-
ernor’s reception and inaugural ball.
These suits are advertised for only
|29.98 for the evening, but We
haven’t the cash, most of us. This
is written, of course, before the big
occasion; the next chapter will be
“after the ball’’ and after accumul-
ating a considerable wad of exper-
ience.
The truck-regulation bill, the res-
olution to submit a constitutional
amendment for the state-wide road-
bond issue, the bill for regulation
of public utilities, have all been in-
troduced. Big guns and pop-guns
are being' loaded 'for battles just
ahead, and folks are wondering just
what Governor Sterling will be like.
When that big thing is found out
the rest will be easier.
In all seriousness, 1 would like to
hear from county judges, collectors
and tax-payers as to what they think
of the proposal to have semi-annual
tax-paying periods in each year. If
anyone really wants a copy of the
bill I can send it to him.
