CALIFORNIA OIL INDUSTRY
Output Keeps Pace With Increasing Demands
One of the factors which have contributed to the marvelous and continued prosperity of the oil industry in California is the fact that demand for the product of wells has consistently kept pace with or exceeded the supply. Indeed it is a fact at the present time that the known demand for crude oil for 1910 will exceed the carefully estimated production by 5000 barrels per day. Thus has a normal and regular price been maintained in the face of an increased output unexpected by the most optimistic. The State Mineralogical Bureau's official figures show the production for four years to have been:
1906 32,624,000 barrels
1907 40,311,000 barrels
1908 48,306,000 barrels
1909 58,500,000 barrels
It is exceptional in California to find any large fuel-consumer using coal when oil is obtainable and so great has been the widening of its field of usefulness that the above ideal condition has been made possible.
The Hill railroad lines in the Northwest have just contracted for 5000 barrels daily for one year for use in locomotives already converted to oil burners, which amount will of course increase annually, while the Western Pacific, the latest transcontinental road to reach this coast, has arranged for an initial supply of 3000 barrels per day, deliveries having already begun.
Oil men have heard with a great
SEASON OF FOREST FIRES
Co-operation of Citizens Asked for to Save State from Loss
Asking assistance from the people of California in preventing forest fires, the following letter from the Western Forestry and Conservation association will be found to be of interest:
Portland, Oregon, June 8, 1910.
Editor Gazette: The forest fire season is at hand again. Will you not help make it less dangerous to the welfare of the West?
The people of our Pacific slope states face not only the work of irredeemable injury to their future prosperity in a few short months through the destruction of taxable property, stream flow, and young growth on which the future forest depends but also the certain and direct loss of millions of dollars through the waste of timber which should be manufactured and shipped to the markets of the world. The returns from no other resource are so widely shared by every citizen and industry as the price of labor and supplies. It is the people at large, not timber owners, who bear 80 per cent of the fire loss.
Almost every year we suffer this attack on our welfare. The money loss to the coast states is estimated to average $40,000,000 a year. An unusual combination of hot windy weather may some time cause inestimable disaster.
And yet forest fires are practically unnecessary. With the same care in the woods that is observed in towns they would be almost unknown. They result from failure to realize that the community's interest is the

The Hill railroad lines in the Northwest have just contracted for 5000 barrels daily for one year for use in locomotives already converted to oil burners, which amount will of course increase annually, while the Western Pacific, the latest transcontinental road to reach this coast, has arranged for an initial supply of 3000 barrels per day, deliveries having already begun.
Oil men have heard with a great deal of satisfaction the news that favorable action is being taken by the naval authorities of the United States and Great Britain regarding the equipment of seagoing ships for the use of crude oil. The announcement is made that the giant navy tug Iroquois is to be converted into an oil burner at once, this being the second naval vessel on the Pacific Coast.
The many economic and transportation problems certain to be solved by the adoption of a crude oil supply for liquid-fuel purposes in war vessels have for some time been attracting the serious attention of naval authorities. Five years ago the engineering advantages of oil-burning were generally acknowledged, and this method of steam-raising will soon become an essential part of the stokehold equipment of vessels of the world's greatest navies.
No country has studied the engineering and mechanical problems of liquid fuel with greater care or for a longer time than our own, but, strange to say, little has been actually accomplished, owing, probably, to our red-tape navy-bureau methods. Quite recently, however, an important move was made. The Senate was asked to organize buying agencies in oil fields, lay pipe lines and erect storage tanks for liquid fuel reserve purposes.
Sydney W. Barnaby, son of the late Sir Nathaniel Barnaby, one of the ablest constructors in the British Navy, technical director and naval constructor of the English firm of Thornycrofts, now in this country, declares that from a British standpoint oil will eventually supersede coal as a fuel for all steamships. He says: "Our experiments with crude petroleum have been signally successful. The time is not far off when coal will be practically out of date. There are many reasons for the substitution of oil, the greater steaming radius with the same weight of fuel, the cleanliness and absence of smoke, but more than all the reduction of firepower force. In these days when almost every year we suffer this attack on our welfare. The money loss to the coast states is estimated to average $40,000,000 a year. An unusual combination of hot windy weather may some time cause inestimable disaster.
And yet forest fires are practically unnecessary. With the same care in the woods that is observed in towns they would be almost unknown. They result from failure to realize that the community's interest is the same in either case, and from carelessness in consequence. Thoughtlessly tossing away burning matches or tobacco, leaving camp fires smouldering, careless clearing of land, passing heedlessly by a spark set by a locomotive; these are the causes of most large fires. A trifling effort would remove all danger.
Newspapers can do more than any other agency to educate residents and travelers in forest regions to their responsibility in this matter by printing a few words of caution, say once a week throughout the season. It is frequency, not length, that tells. They can do nothing more truly for the development of their communities. Lumbermen are spending immense sums for patrol, most of the large railroad companies have promised me to give the subject publicity in their literature and stations, forest fire and conservation associations are using every means at their command. Your help, as suggested, will be the most valuable of all. This is practical conservation. Very truly yours,

GRASSHOPPERS RETURN
Farmers in Northern California Seek Methods to Destroy Pest—Turkeys on a Strike
SACRAMENTO, June 14.—Farmers are seeking methods to destroy the grasshoppers which have returned to this part of the state by the million after ten years. Turkeys are very fond of the hoppers and fatten on them. A turkey grower near Ante-lop, who has several thousands of the birds, was not displeased, therefore, when the hoppers appeared. But suddenly the turkeys went on a strike against a steady diet of hoppers. The farmer is now giving his birds slaked lime.
The hoppers are swallowed alive, and the only reason the turkeys grow tired of them is because there is probably too much commotion in their bear 80 per cent of the fire loss.

The Gall Nothing perhaps
of Thornycrofts, now in this country,
declares that from a British standpoint oil will eventually supersede coal as a fuel for all steamships. He says: "Our experiments with crude petroleum have been signally successful. The time is not far off when coal will be practically out of date. There are many reasons for the substitution of oil, the greater steaming radius with the same weight of fuel, the cleanliness and absence of smoke, but more than all the reduction of fireroom force. In these days when satisfactory stokers are hard to find, and the question of labor in stokeholes is always vexatious, the use of oil, with its simple requirments for care and the great reduction of the stoking force below, seems the correct solution. I believe that England will be the first nation to do away with coal and supplant it with oil as fuel for naval vessels, and, unfortunately for us, we shall have to come to the United States for it."
In view of the fact that California produces 64 per cent of the petroleum of the United States and that with one exception—the Appalachian, every field shows a falling-off in output it will be seen at a glance the complacency with which Californians, especially oil shareholders view the assurance that the navies will soon increase the demand for petroleum by millions of barrels each year.
FORT HOWARD GUNNERS
BALTIMORE, Md., June 11.—The championship of the coast artillery corps of the U. S. army in target practice for this year with the 12-inch rifle has been won at Fort Howard by the Fortieth company which fired four shots for record and hit the target each time. The guns were fired at a 60 by 20-foot rectagonal canvass and the distance was 3½ miles.
The hoppers are swallowed alive, and the only reason the turkeys grow tired of them is because there is probably too much commotion in their crops. The lime, taken in, forms a gas and this gas immediately kills the hoppers. The turkey then is ready for more hoppers and is doing a great work of ridding the country thereabouts of this nuisance.
Poisoning with a mixture of one pound arsenic to ten pounds of bran, held together by a little molasses and water, has met with great success. The hoppers immediately after partaking of this food, crawl under the clods and die. Horticultural Commissioner Bloomer advises mixture of fresh manure with Paris green or arsenic in the proportions of 1 to 60.
These pests in previous years have always flown in a northwesterly direction, but some are now moving in a southwestern direction. The firing has probably driven them back from their natural course.
The will of Richard O'Neill, who died recently at Oceanside, has been filed in San Diego for probate. The estate is valued at $350,000. The will bears date of May 24, 1906. The sum of $350,000 does not represent the value of the property accumulated by Richard O'Neill as within a year or two before his death he deeded a half interest in his great San Diego and Orange county ranches to his son, Jerome O'Neill, and large amounts in stocks and realty were transferred to Mrs. O'Neill and other members of the family.
ANAHEIM GAZETTE
Just Like a Woman.
A Boston physician was describing a week's drive that he took last fall through some of the most picturesque districts of New England.
"I saw much that was memorable and heard much that was worth remembering on this quiet, bucolic excursion.
"I remember an elderly justice of the peace in a beautiful New Hampshire village near Lake Sunapee. I stayed there all night with this fine, keen old man. He amused me and impressed me with his mordant humor.
"During the evening the question of the unreasonableness of womankind came up for discussion. 'Ah,' said the old justice, 'woman is unreasonable, very unreasonable indeed. In fact, there is no living creature so unreasonable as woman. I remember that my wife and I were talking over our affairs one day, and we agreed that it had come to the point where we must both economize.
'Yes, my dear,' I said to my wife, 'we must both economize—both!'
'Very well, Henry,' she said with a tired air of submission to an unpleasant condition, 'you shave yourself, and I'll cut your hair.'"—Boston Post.
Hymnological Ineptitude.
The story of a minister who held a religious meeting in a penitentiary and aroused the ire of the inmates by announcing as a hymn that one beginning "The dying thief rejoiced to see" is equaled by the tale of a local preacher whose church got in debt not long ago. A congregational meeting was held for the purpose of extricating it, and the chairman of the board of deacons, or whatever the financial body was, got up and stated the situation and ended by calling for a special collection to make up the deficit.
"I suggest that we sing a hymn," one of the members of the church suggested.
This idea was carried out, and the number of the song was announced.
Ordinance No. 227
An ordinance providing for the issuance of bonds of the City of Anaheim in the sum of seventy-five hundred dollars to pay the cost of paving certain street intersections in said City.
Whereas, the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, at its meeting held on the 10th day of March, 1910, by a vote of two-thirds of all its members, did, by resolution resolve and determine in due and proper form that the public interest and necessity demanded the construction and completion of the following described street work in said City, to-wit:
The paving of that portion of South Los Angeles Street in front of the 210.91 feet of frontage of land owned by said City in Vineyard Lot "G3," on which land is situate the Municipal Electric Light and Water Works, from the Easterly curb line of said Street to the center line of said Street; also the paving of the following described intersections of streets, to-wit:
Lemon and Center Streets; Clementine and Center Streets; Adelaide and Helena Streets and Center Street; Palm and Center Streets; Resh and Center Streets, on Northerly half of Center Street; Citron and Center Streets; Ohio and Center Streets, on Southerly half of Center Street; Illinois and Center Streets, on Southerly half of Center Street; West and Center Streets; Walnut and Center Streets, on Southerly half of Center Street; Cherry and Center Streets, on Southerly half of Center Street; Villa Place and Center Streets, on Northerly half of Center Street; Thalia and Center Streets; Adams and Center Streets, on Southerly half of Center Street.
And Whereas, the President of the Board of Trustees of said City did, on the 12th day of March, 1910, duly and legally approve said resolution of said Board of Trustees; and
Whereas, the said Board of Trustees did thereafter, at its meeting held on the 14th day of April, 1910, by a vote of two-thirds of all its members, duly pass and adopt an ordinance calling a special election in said City of Anaheim, to be held on the 2d day of May, 1910, for the purpose of submitting and submitting to the qualified voters of said City the proposition to incur a bonded indebtedness of seventy-five hundred dollars to pay the cost of the street work set forth and described in the resolution aforesaid. Said ordinance is numbered 224, and had theretofore been duly introduced at a regular meeting of
titled "An Act authorizing the incurring of indebtedness by cities towns and municipal corporations for municipal improvements, and regulating the acquisition, construction or completion thereof," which became a law February 25th, 1901, and of all acts amendatory thereof.
It is further certified that all the requirements of law and of the ordinances of the City of Anaheim have been fully complied with by the proper officers in the issuing of this bond; that this issue of bonds has been duly authorized by a vote of two-thirds of the duly qualified electors of said City voting on the question of such issue at a special election duly and regularly called and held in said City on the 2d day of May, 1910; and that the total amount of this issue, together with all other indebtedness of said City does not exceed the limit prescribed by the Constitution and laws of the State of California.
This bond ceases to bear interest unless presented at maturity.

Tailed Englishmen.
Natives of southern Arabia believe that Christians wear hats only to hide their horns. Formerly the continent of Europe clung to the conviction that the Englishman's nether garments concealed a tail. So late as the reign of Edward VI., according to Bale, "an Englyshman cannot travayle in another land by way of marchandyse or any other honest occupying, but it is most contumellously thrown into his tette that all Englyshmen have tails." The belief probably arose from the legend of the "Kentish Longtails." The people of either Canterbury or Strood (for the legend varies) mocked at Becket as he rode on an ass and cut off the ass' tail. Wherefore they and their descendants were cursed with tails thenceforth. At least so said jesters of other countries, and the slander eventually reacted upon England in general. Another version substitutes St. Augustine and Dorsetshire.
Cold as a Cure.
Cold of a certain intensity produces not only hunger, but, as it has been proved, health as well. Raoul Pictet, the famous Swiss chemist, was making experiments on a degree of cold considerably lower than any which occurs naturally, and be found that at temperatures between 110 and 150 below zero no covering of any kind would keep cold out, or more exactly, would keep warm in. There is nothing surprising about that. The surprise is in the result. M. Pictet is a gentleman who has suffered greatly from indigestion. After an exposure of several minutes to the cold which he had produced he experienced a sensation of hunger which he has described as ravenous. When he had eaten he experienced none of the tortures of his aliment, and when he had alternately frozen and eaten three or four times he found himself entirely cured.—London Telegraph.

Nothing perhaps produces quite so much wit from a cabman as a sense of being underpaid, which in most cases means that he has been justly paid. A lady who had been guilty of this kind of justice experienced the usual sense of discomfort when her driver straightened the palm into which she had just dropped her shilling and looked at her speechlessly. She was weakly about to add another sixpence when the cabby's sense of humor prevailed. He transferred the shilling to his pocket and smiled sweetly down at his embarrassed fare. "Course, missy," he remarked, "there was the pleasure o' drivin' you!"—London Chronicle.
Arundel Castle.
The most singular circumstance about Arundel castle is that its owner, by mere right of ownership, is Earl of Arundel in the peerage of England. It is believed that there is no similar example of a peerage held on such conditions. Apparently there would be no legal obstacle, were the house of Howard to fall upon evil days and the castle be sold to some millionaire, to prevent the millionaire taking his seat in the house of lords as Earl of Arundel.—London Standard.
