Has the Largest Circulation A DASTARDLY OUTRAGE The demolition of the Los Angeles Times building by dynamite, with its lamenatable loss of life, marks the crowning attempt of senseless labor agitators to destroy that newspaper. That the dynamiting of the Times was part of a plot to assassinate Gen. Otis and destroy his newspaper, is proven by the discovery of an infernal machine at his residence, timed to explode upon his return that afternoon from a visit to the city of Mexico. It is hardly necessary to refer to the presence of three men upon the roof of the Times warehouse, a short time before the explosion, who were frightened away and fired upon by the vigilant watchman, nor to the dynamite bombs placed at Mr. Zeehandelaar's residence, to indicate that Los Angeles has at the moment, and probably for a long time past, within its confines as desperate a gang of assassins as ever gathered together.

Otis has been waging vallant war against these THE MIDDLEMAN Has been eliminated in our MEN'S FURNISHING BUYING We purchase directly from the manufacturer, thus enabling us to sell you the newest and best with only one modest profit instead of three or four.

Gen. Otis has been waging vallant war against these men, and has been made the target for their infuriated warfare. The Times building will be rebuilt, and the Times will be a greater and more powerful newspaper than before. Gen. Otis has the sympathy of the newspaper men, and of all others, in this state and nation; but those of us who know him appreciate the fact that the assassins' work will have the effect of redoubling his fight against outlawry. Los Angeles cannot afford to permit this crime to go unpunished. Life and property must be secure from assaults of the dynamiter. Gen. Otis has our sympathy in the loss of the lives of his men, and in his property loss, but while these precious lives cannot be restored, the Times will be greater and more powerful than before. DEFEAT THIS AMENDMENT Figures of the expense of the extraordinary session of the legislature which convened at Sacramento on Monday place the cost to the taxpayers at not less than $10,000. The session was called by Gov. Gillett because of a defect in Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 1, relating to separation of state from local taxation, the defect consisting in the omission of the words "year ending the" in one of the clauses of the amendment. In addition to the usual expenses for salaries and mileage, amounting to about $7000, there will be extra expense of approximately $3,000 for printing, arising from the fact that all copies of the amendments as provided will have to be destroyed. New printing is compulsory since the state printer is instructed by law to provide the various county clerks of the state with true copies of amendments to be voted upon, in sufficient numbers to be available for every voter. The regular expenses of the session are estimated as follows: Mileage of senators, $1575.80; mileage of assemblymen, $2964.60; salaries of forty senators, $400; salaries of 80 BUYING We purchase directly from the manufacturer, thus enabling us to sell you the newest and best with only one modest profit instead of three or four.

Additional expenses will be mileage for officers of the senate and assembly, the salaries of senate and assembly officers, and other incidentals. The defect was called to the governor's attention by "business interests" in San Francisco, presumably the railroads, which hope to profit by the enactment of this amendment into law. This amendment was defeated by the people two years ago, and promptly bobs up again, for the railroads and corporations rule the state. Let it be defeated again, more decisively than before. FUTURE OF OIL INDUSTRY To all who are looking into the future of the oil business, especially from an investment standpoint, there are many indications filled with great promise. The past ten years has seen wonderful prosperity accompanied by periods of adversity. But withal a net dividend record of over $40,000,000 is the best indication of the stability of the industry and its profitableness. Without a market for the consumption of oil there would be no profit in its production. With a bigger market than the supply can fill it will readily be seen that prices will add materially to profits. The producers are getting their share of the Whenever, heretofore, there has been a sudden increase in production interested parties have started the cry of over-production. The apparent overproduction has invariably disappeared in short order even as the mists are cleared away by the sunshine. Prices have had an advancing tendency for the past four years and last year, the largest producing one in the history of the business, saw the highest prices paid for oil at the well. Why was this? Because, the ultimate consumer saw that California would be able to supply him with oil for fuel for an indefinite period, assuring him of the advisability of changing his fuel from coal to oil. That the future of the oil business is assured in its every form is evidenced by several significant circumstances that have lately occurred. The announcement is unofficially made that the navies of the United States and England will soon adopt the use of oil instead of coal for fuel. Other nations perforce will follow. This means a market for an enormous quantity of oil each year. California has shown the world it has the oil and the world is responding by turning to oil for fuel not only because it is cheaper than coal but because it is vastly better even if it cost more than coal. The principal reason for the change is because oil can be obtained. Until within the past year oil could not be secured by these large consumers. Probably the most significant fact is that Admiral Evans has seen fit to enter the oil producing business on a large scale. The Admiral is accounted a keen man with an eye for business, with an eye to the future and the Admiral sees great things ahead for the oil industry of California.

The Associated is calling upon all its contracts for the delivery of the maximum amount of oil and the Standard is reported even now to be reducing instead of increasing its storage. The United States government has never, until recently, given much consideration to its oil territory yet under government control, but at this day the question of the disposal of this forecast. Up to within the past three or four years the oil industry of California was regarded largely as a purely local affair. It has now developed into one of international importance. It has passed the boundaries prescribed by its early votaries. It is interesting the governments of the nations of the world and it is likewise interesting those who have money to invest in an industry of such great importance. PRODUCTION OF GOLD IN ALASKA SANTA ANA At a conference with the city trustees the Southern California Edison company representatives declared that the profit from the gas plant business of this city last year was less than 1 per cent of the investment, which the company stated is $169,000. R. H. Ballard, secretary and S. M. Kennedy, general agent of the corporation, asked the trustees to raise the rate of gas from $1 per 1000 cubic feet to $1.25. They asserted that of $33,783 receipts of the gas plant last year, but $1564 was profit. They near more cheeses of those ducks in production this The Associated is calling upon all its contracts for the delivery of the maximum amount of oil and the Standard is reported even now to be reducing instead of increasing its storage. The United States government has never, until recently, given much consideration to its oil territory yet under government control, but at this day the question of the disposal of these lands is one of the big ones of the present administration. Investors should get wise to the situation; to the great, really great, importance of the oil business and its bearing on the future. By so doing one is sure to make handsome profits. The oil business is not for today or tomorrow but it is for the next decade; the next twenty years; the coming century. Just put yourself in the position of the man who squatted on the prairie a few years ago ahead of Jim Hill's Great Northern railroad. This was a comprehending Swede. He traveled with his family to a remote location miles away from human habitation. He did it quietly. In looking over the country through which the road was to pass Jim Hill encountered this man and asked him why he settled so far from civilization. The Swede's reply was, "I thought Yim Hill would build a railroad through here and my land would be valuable." If any one thinks the oil industry has reached its limit of development; that the product has by any means fulfilled its ultimate destiny in the accomplishment of revolution in industries and naval affairs, he is mistaken. The business is extending and expanding every day and the years to come will prove the truth of was regarded largely as a purely local affair. It has now developed into one of international importance. It has passed the boundaries prescribed by its early votaries.

PRODUCTION OF GOLD IN ALASKA The first estimate of the season's gold output from Alaska anticipates a reduction of more than $5,000,000 from last year's output of $20,500,000. The estimate is $15,000,000. The chief falling off is in the Fairbanks district, where there has been a dry season, and where the beginning of dredge mining on the low grade ground has not yet commenced. A considerable decrease in the Nome output is anticipated, as placer mining there has now resolved itself into a dredging proposition. Fifteen new dredges have been installed on Seward peninsula this season, which should greatly increase the output next year. The output by districts, as estimated, follows: Fairbanks, $6,000,000; Southeastern Alaska, $4,300,000; Nome and Seward, $3,000,000; Iditarod, $500,000; Kobuku Noatak, $200,000; Koyukuk, $200,000; Kuskokwin Yukon Valley, $200,000; Keai peninsula and Susitna basin, $400,000; Prince William Sound, $100,000; Copper River Valley and Nizina $100,000; Coast placer and miscellaneous, $100,000; total, $15,000,000.

A short time ago he was given a suspended sentence by Justice Shirley, following arrest for selling liquor. When the justice had learned that Neill was selling liquor at Westminster, the commitment that had been suspended was issued. On the river property there are two pits, 10x10 feet, which are being sunk. At present there are 250 inches of water being produced from one well. The other well is down 35 feet and yields 100 inches.
