Gilt-Edged Oil Stock John K. Friend, the well-known mining man, reports a lively interest in his oil fields in Southwestern Utah, reference to which was made in these columns last week. Mr. Friend has a standing offer to any intending investor that he will pay for any telegram to capitalists in the mine. He agrees to pay all telegraph tolls if the oil fields referred to are not a strictly gilt-edged investment. Mr. Friend is a successful miner, and his words carry great weight with those seeking investments in legitimate mining and oil-filed enterprises. Reports coming in every day from the new oil fields of Southwest Utah indicate a boom soon to be launched that will be a surprise to the people, especially in this part of the country, where the people pay but little heed to what is being done in the speculative marts of the world. Never was there such demand for crude oil as the present time. The supply is millions of barrels short of the demand. Men who heretofore put their whole attention and capital to mining are already putting their money and attention to oil. There is at present about thirty-five oil rigs now in operation in the new oil field in the Virgin river oil fields of Southwestern Utah. Mr. Friend has addressed the following letter to citizens in this county: "Enclosed please find circular giving you an idea about our Oil Company, and the probability of its future. While they are not known of here in this vicinity, the oil fields of Utah are attracting the attention of capital all over the monied centers. of the U. S.

I have every reason to believe, and do know, that this same stock will be worth one dollar and upwards within six months from this date. Just stop a moment and consider before throwing this letter aside. If you get in now on the stock I will sell it to you for 25 cents per share, and as soon as the first well is drilled this same stock will be worth one dollar a share, and it is an even break that within six months this same stock will be worth five dollars a share. Then why work so hard with the hoe, while others make money in this way, so fast and so easy. One hundred shares is the smallest block of stock; if you can't come and see me, send for the amount you want. Address me here at Anaheim. Reference here, W. A. Wallace, Anaheim." Those interested in this new enterprise who contemplate making investment, will do well to confer with Mr. Friend, who will leave shortly for Utah to prosecute development work in these newly discovered oil fields. Y. M. C. A. The semi-monthly meeting of the Anaheim Y. M. C. A. literary club was held on Thursday evening, Oct. 24 in Judge Howard's rooms.

The club has rented the chamber of commerce rooms, where their meeting will be held the first and third Thursdays in each month. All young men are invited. The object of the club is to cultivate and advance the literary knowledge of the young men of Anaheim. The evenings are taken up by short discussions of current events, debates on assigned topics, or the study of subjects suggested by the program committee. These subjects are presented in a way that renders them both entertaining and instructive. An evening spent in this work once every two weeks is a great help to those who are interested in subjects of this nature. TEA, COFFEE, SPICES AND EXTRACTS at the correct prices and place.

R.E. Heinrich, pro Loses an Eye A small Northcross, a well-known of Orange, was the victim of a accident Saturday in which the sight of one eye. Cross and his son Mac Northcross were hunting quail in Santiago. The two men were about yards apart when they started a quail. The son shot once inunch, not noticing that his was not as far away as he supposed to be. Four of the shot last charge struck Northcross entering his right eye, one lim in the temple at the side of his eye, and one penetrated his neck. The son hurriedly hitched brought father home. Doctors and Medlock were called, and thought for a time that they were able to save the eye, but it had necessary to remove it. Incident is an especially unfortunate as Mr. Northcross has not seen very well with his eyes for years, and the loss of his will almost deprive him of life. Oil Notes Telegraph Oil company has its Telegraph canyon down 2200 feet on a good showing of oil, and saved a big strike will be made out of about 2400 or 2500 feet. It is a half-mile east of the old wells, and if a strike is made out of several thousand acres opened up. J. W. Reynolds age of the drilling.

Perkins was in town on Tuesday from his El Modena rose farm. Mr. Perkins will in a few weeks begin shipment of five carloads of rose bushes to New York, where they are disposed of by retailers. He packs from 50,000 to 100,000 bushes in a car, and will this season ship 300,000. He has been in the business eight years, his annual shipments aggregating four carloads. This season he will send out an additional car. Mr. Perkins says land in Orange county is becoming too valuable for rose culture, and is of opinion another two years will witness the end of the business in this county. He farms forty acres and has it set to Valencia oranges. He has shipped about two million rose bushes east since embarking in the business. Beets Not Damaged LOS ALAMITOS, Oct. 26, 1907. The big sugar mill is again in full swing, after a few days' interruption of beet deliveries on account of the threatening aspect of the weather and slippery roads. Only about one-fourth inch of rain fell altogether, and orders went out immediately to plow out all beets remaining in the fields, so little damage will result, although the percentage of tare will be increased. Unlike fruit and beans, beets keep well, provided they are plowed out. If the weather clerk gives us clear weather from now on, the balance of the crop, some 12,000 to 15,000 tons, will be harvested in short order. With the approach of the close of the season stock-feeder and dairymen are placing their orders in advance for shipments of pulp by rail, and claim the railroads cannot supply cars fast enough.

With the approach of the close of the season stock-feeder and dairymen are placing their orders in advance for shipments of pulp by rail, and claim the railroads cannot supply cars fast enough. Last season an attempt was made to cut a straight channel from the Pacific Electric bridge along the course of the New San Gabriel river to the ocean. It now being conceded that the work was begun at the wrong end last season, the river trustees, Messrs. Paul, Sackett and Carse, have engaged Howard & Co. of Los Angeles, contractors, to move in their big outfit, which is now on the ground, to prosecute the work from the ocean up. Some 160,000 cubic yards of sand and gravel will have to be moved on a grade established by civil engineers, and a steam shovel of a capacity of 1000 cubic yards per day is being used from tide water up, besides, as auxiliary to the steam shovel, forty teams of four horses each are already at work excavating in the river bed northwest from the sugar factory. The contract calls for the completion of the work within sixty days, with a forfeit of $175 per day for every day's delay after seventy-five days, unless the delay is caused by storms. There is considerable water running in the bed of the channel now, with a rising tendency from recent rains. It took ninety horses and mules to pull the big steam shovel across the country to the mouth of the river. Beet raisers express themselves as being well satisfied with the returns from their crops this season, the tonnage being good and percentages high. For next season the land is nearly all rented on the different ranches, there being only about 300 acres still open for engagement on the Montana Land company's ranch and 200 acres on the Bixby ranch. A. W. JONES. Hay Goes Up With the advance of prices in all lines of produce, in flour, in all grain and millstuffs there could be nothing more natural than an increase in the cost of hay and straw. A higher price in both went into effect last week, and now consumers are paying from $12 to $60. Muskogee November Account of Congress. Stopover G Any Santa Fe agent sell you the tickets.

This very fact is as in itself. The quality of the hay far superior to that of forage. The cause lies in a law which was seeded in the soil; the fact that the smallness yield has produced a large root, as well as greater spin. There are four principals hay. They are alfalfa, bar wheat hay. Of these four wheat hay are the most price of the former is free. The latter ranges from $14 is the dearest of the local kind. Alfalfa and wheat tail at $14 to $17 a ton. sells at $10 to $12, and this is constantly increasing dearest of all feed hay which is shipped here especially for the race which retails anywhere $25.

The advance amounted to only a dollar, but there had been one of a similar size the week before, of which little had been mentioned. According to various dealers there will be still higher prices on these commodities before the winter season is passed.

There was average yield of only 75 per cent in hay fields of California. The exception has increased right along Los Angeles it is at least 10 per greater than last year at this time. This very fact is an explanation itself. The quality of the hay this year is superior to that of former seasons. Because lies in a larger acreage was seeded in the spring, and in fact that the smallness of the grain has produced a larger stem on the well as greater space to grow. There are four principal varieties of they are alfalfa, barley, oat and hay. Of these four, barley and hay are the most used, and the former is from $12 to $17.

Telephone Interests Combined By an arrangement of the interests of the Union Home Telephone and Telegraph corporation and the United States Long Distance Telephone company these organizations have combined under the management of Frank W. Wachter. The two companies will have main offices in the I. W. Hellman building. It is stated by one of the men heavily interested in the United States Long Distance Telephone company that the amalgamation was made in the interest of economy. It will lead to dividends being paid on the preferred stock of the Union Home Telephone company. The combination of the two companies under one head will mean an annual saving of $10,000 in expenses. J. M. C. Marble is president of the Union Home company, and will step down. It is declared that this has no significance, and all rumors of a factional difference are denied. Mr. Marble referred inquiries to J. E. Fishburn, president of the National Bank of California. At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the two companies in January the amalgamation will be ratified. The offices of the United States company in the Currier building will be given up as soon as the arrangements at $10 to $12, and the demand for it constantly increasing.
