OIL AND GAS DOWN SOUTH Texas and Louisiana Have Rich Fields The exploitation of the oil and gas of the Gulf Coastal Plain in Texas and Louisiana began nearly ten years ago, but the last word about their place in the rocks, their origin and manner of accumulation, and the area in which they occur has not yet been said. The latest report on the subject is a bulletin, No. 429, just published by the United States geological survey, entitled "Oil and gas in Louisiana, with a brief summary of their occurrence in adjacent states," by G. D. Harris, formerly state geologist. The Louisiana geological survey has for several years been gathering facts concerning the occurrence of oil and gas within the state and has published a report on Louisiana salt in which many of these facts were incorporated. Two reports published by the United States geological survey, in 1903 and 1906, relate in part to oil in Louisiana, and the present paper covers the ground thoroughly. The expense of the field work necessary to complete it was borne jointly by the federal and state organizations. Most of the expensive mistakes made in drilling for oil and gas in the gulf region have been due to a lack of proper understanding of the two very distinct ways in which the oil and gas occur. One of these ways is shown at Spindletop, Tex., where oil and gas have been concentrated in enormous quantities in a "saline dome," all the surrounding territory being barren. The other way is also shown in Caddo Parish, La., or at Corsicana, Tex., where oil and gas are coextensive with certain widespread, well known geologic strata, though occurring in commercial quantities only in areas where the structure is fa-tackle, powder and shot. A school would be established, carpentering tools, spades and axes supplied, and seed, farm implements, oxen and cows whenever they desired to cultivate their reserve. The chief, to be elected by the tribe, was to receive $20 gold and a British flag annually. On conclusion of the treaty first payments were made and the chief was wrapped in a Union Jack, which, he was told, meant that the great white king would protect him from all enemies. Thus does the red man enter on a new era that can end only with the final absorption of his race into the race and nation of his white brother. CHARGE AGAINST THE NAVY Defenselessness of the Pacific coast alleged in a resolution of Representative McLachlan of California in calling for a report on the army's condition, is revealed in a report soon to be filed by General Wood, chief of staff, according to authoritative information. It is expected that this report will be the most comprehensive expose of the army's condition ever made public. The report will assert that the army is divided into military units so that many "political posts" may be garrisoned. It will demand the entire reorganization of the army; also the immediate adequate garrisoning of Hawaii, Canal Zone and the Pacific coast. The report will recommend the abandonment of unnecessary military posts, the addition of 25 regiments to the infantry line, seven regiments to the field artillery line, and concentration of troops in large garrisons for both coasts. The report will assert that regulars are compelled to spend their time and labor to keep the posts re- FARTHEST NORTH BY RAIL-ROAD A feature of the development of Canada is the progress toward a railroad from Saskatchewan to Hudson's bay by which the wheat of the northwest will be shipped to Europe at a freight cost of several cents a bushel less than now prevails. This new line will only be operated four or five months of the year regularly, closing down in winter for lack of traffic and because of the arctic ice. In securing right of way it has been found advisable to make treaties with tribes of Indians who never yet owned any law but their own. A commissioner of the crown is making a canoe trip from Winnipeg to Hudson's bay for this purpose. It is interesting to read of one of his treaties with an uncivilized tribe of the Wastikwo country. On behalf of King George the commissioner promised the Indians, in powwow assembled, that, in exchange for territorial rights, they should have $5 each forever, a tract of land in fee simple, annual supplies of meal, bacon, flour, tea, fishing SPECIAL NOTICE Notice is hereby given that I will not be responsible for any debts contracted by my son, Earl Waldler Anaheim, Nov. 7, 1910 G. H WAIDLER A French woman, proud of her limited knowledge of English, and an American woman, proud of her limited knowledge of French, were introduced at an evening company recently. The French woman insisted on expressing herself in bad English and the American woman would talk nothing but bad French. When guests began to depart they were still at it. At last they arose to go. Here is their watery farewell: "Reservoir," said the fair American. "Tanks," responded her new buxom friend. The rumbling and groaning train had been toiling along from Memphis, Tenn., toward Bald Knob, Ark., all through the hot afternoon. The stops had been frequent, but at last came one of unusual duration. After a tiresome interval, the conductor walked back through the mosquito-punctuated alles until his glance met a sympathetic face. He bent over the kindly looking passenger and whispered: "Stranger, have you got a bit of string about you? The engine's broke.

In the meantime the old board did nothing, confident that there could be no election. Tuesday, however, when a ERADICATING A WEED PEST Los Angeles Authorities Going After Johnson Grass Whether or not Johnson grass can be killed by spraying is a problem now engaging the attention of A. R. Meserve, county horticultural commissioner, and his deputies and inspectors, and extensive experiments now are being conducted along this line to determine if there is not some way of eradicating the pest. A mixture has been found which some contend will penetrate to the root and kill it when applied to the portion of the weed above ground by a spray pump, but Commissioner Meserve is determined not to commit himself to any chemical until repeated experiments prove that it will do the work. Johnson grass is the most pernicious weed which infests that locality. There is no known method of total eradication, and the best that can be done to fight the pest is to keep it cut down. Its roots penetrate the ground to a depth of 10 inches or more. Stringent laws have been enacted by the state legislature providing a severe penalty for the owner, lessee or possessor of land to allow the grass to spread on the property under its control. Recently the weed has appeared on the public highways and it has been necessary to employ men, not only to cut it back, but to keep it cut back. Another menacing aspect of the situation is the fact that the weed has been found growing far up in some of the canyons, where the seed evidently was carried in hay brought into the mountains by campers with teams. One of the railroads companies has been using a mixture obtained from the East on the grass on portions of its roadbed near Los Angeles, and it is said the results have been good. It is this mixture with which experiments are being conducted by Joseph R. Hyans of Los Nietos, horticultural inspector, under the direction of Meserve. Johnson grass on which the substance has been used is killed above ground and the roots are found to have decayed to a depth of six inches. ment from time to time and between dates rustled for proxies. In the meantime the old board did nothing, confident that there could be no election. Tuesday, however, when a quorum seemed certain, the old board threw in its proxies and the polls were opened. The count was not finished up to the time of going to press. The policy of the "old board," as it is known, has been toward increasing the capital stock of the irrigation company and the development of water by carrying out engineering projects in the Santa Ana river. The proposed new policy is to develop water wherever the most can be had for the money; specifically, by pumping plants. The fight has been long-drawn out and bitter. The new policy people at the recent election backed two men for directors, L. E. Smith of Orange and Albert Fuller of Tustin. George Merker, E. M. Nealley, A. G. Finley, D. C. Drake and Fred Rohrs, the old board, were candidates. The new policy people did not oppose the re-election of Finley and Rohrs, as they believe them to be favorable to some of their ideas. Should the new policy people control the board, changes may be made in the legal and engineering employes of the company. Glenn L. Martin of Santa Ana made a two-mile flight in his biplane, returning to the point of starting the other day. For a week past unheralded and quietly Martin has been in the country south doing flying stunts with his machine, and he has been so successful that he has issued a public invitation to an aviation party to be given by him to the public free of charge next Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. He expects to get up into the air, to travel away for a mile and, turning in the air, return to the place he started from. Martin's flight demonstrated that he has the nerve and skill necessary for difficult feats. He went against a stiff breeze and turned in what he believes was a circle of close to the record class. Martin built the machine he is operating after the style of the Curtis biplane. He is using a thirty-horse power engine, and the machine complete weighs 700 pounds. He himself weighs 148 lbs.

It is this mixture with which experiments are being conducted by Joseph R. Hyans of Los Nietos, horticultural inspector, under the direction of Meserve. Johnson grass on which the substance has been used is killed above ground and the roots are found to have decayed to a depth of six inches. This, however, is not sufficient, and the spray is being used in different proportions to determine if better results cannot be obtained. If the spraying mixture is found to be effective, other problems will present themselves. One of these will be the probable expense. At a rough estimate, Commissioner Meserve believes that the maximum cost of thoroughly spraying an acre will be about $120. SANTA ANA Partisans of a new policy for the development of water by the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company believe that they have at last won a battle they began three years ago. At 5 o'clock Tuesday the polls closed on the election of directors of this cooperative company, which irrigates 17,500 acres. The date of the annual election was early in October, but there was no quorum. Determined to bring the matter to an issue the partisans of the new policy caused an adjourn- turning in the air, return to the place he started from. Martin's flight demonstrated that he has the nerve and skill necessary for difficult feats. He went against a stiff breeze and turned in what he believes was a circle of close to the record class. Martin built the machine he is operating after the style of the Curtis biplane. He is using a thirty-horse power engine, and the machine complete weighs 700 pounds. He himself weighs 148 lbs. He has been schooling himself in the art, and he now has full confidence in his control of the machine. At any rate, he has been flying and in flying he has successfully turned in the air, which is no small feat for an amateur. Martin has never been up in any other machine than the one he now uses. This machine will be seen at the Dominguez field meet this winter. Martin has made arrangements with Tunnison, who is in charge of the Dominguez field, for housing the machine there, and as soon as Martin's shed is built at Dominguez the machine will be dismantled at Santa Ana and taken to Dominguez. Martin has applied for a patent upon an improvement on the monoplane. The chief feature of the new machine—for Martin hopes to be able to build one this winter—will be automatic lateral stability. There has been some talk of forming a stock company to back Martin in the enterprise of developing his ideas as outlined by the patent applied for.

The commander-in-chief, himself ruler of the South American republic, sent an alde to the rear, ordering General Blanco to bring up his regiment at once. Ten minutes passed; but it didn't come. Twenty, thirty, an hour—still no regiment. The alde came tearing back hatless, breathless. "My regiment, My Regiment. Where is it? shrieked the commander.
