On which cut square do you find this city/description? A much larger picture of just that one would help. According to the 2020 Scott Specialized this series of stamped envelopes wasn't issued before 1915.

From 10 April 1907 to 30 September 1913, a town called Thomasson existed in Solono County, California. The town had one 31 mm CDS. There is no other post marking device mentioned.
So it is possible you have a partial strike.
My source is John H. Williams' California Town Postmarks 1849 - 1935
