THURSDAY, AUGUST 29 USERS OF WATER HEAR FROM THE COMMISSION CONSERVATIONISTS WILL NOT SEEK TO UPSET IRRIGA-TION LAWS PROVISIONS OF PROPOSED EN-ACTMENT SUBJECT TO EXISTING RIGHTS The following letter from the State Conservation Commission to G. W. Sherwood, president of the Southern California Water Users' Association, relating to proposed laws to be submitted to the next session of the legislature, concerning water rights, will be of interest to irrigators hereabouts, where considerable discussion has lately arisen concerning the proposed enactments. San Francisco, Aug. 20, 1912. G. W. Sherwood, Prec. Southern California Water Users' Association, Fullerton, Cal. Dear Sir: We are advised that organization of the water users' of Southern California is being effected for the purpose of opposing certain legislation in process of preparation by the conservation commission. We understand that the opposition is based upon the assumption that it is the purpose of the conservation commission to propose legislation that will upset all water rights and titles. We beg to advise you that such is not the intention of the conservation commission and that it does not purpose to propose any such legislation. And if it can be shown that the final draft POP CAHILL'S GRIM HUMOR Perpetrates Joke, Man Who Sees Point Gets Reward Pop Cahill, the star humorist of the San Francisco Call, in the issue of that paper of August 25, perpetrates the following horrible joke on the state highway commission: "The manner in which the partition of the state highway system has been prostituted for political purposes has become a public scandal. The Anaheim Gazette describes how Don Ricardo Egan, the veteran sage of San Juan Capistrano went to work. Quoting the Gazette: "'When members of the state commission first came here last fall, and scores of good roads enthusiasts were present at the courthouse to meet them and impart to them their grievances, it was Egan who kidnaped them, taking them to his palatial San Juan residence, and wining and dining them. The commissioners told the other fellows they really had not time to consider their many petty dissertations relative to the route of the state highway and that the road would be built along the most available route, and where it would advantage the greatest number of people.'" "Don Ricardo is quite out of date. If he could have fixed a primary that would have been more to the purpose than any festive jollying of the commissioners. "Indeed, why waste time on the commissioners? These are the heavy respectable cogs in the machine who go round and round without knowing how or why. One may imagine that if Don Ricardo had laid his case before Al McCabe in Sacramento he would have been 'put wise' to the program if he could show that he had the goods to deliver." "Let Don Ricardo learn from the notorious Contra Costa county case, of which the Richmond Record-Herald says: "'The Independent published a com- for the purpose of opposing certain legislation in process of preparation by the conservation commission. We understand that the opposition is based upon the assumption that it is the purpose of the conservation commission to propose legislation that will upset all water rights and titles. We beg to advise you that such is not the intention of the conservation commission and that it does not purpose to propose any such legislation. And if it can be shown that the final draft of the commission's proposed bill will have such effect it will not be recommended to the legislature by the conservation commission. The provisions of the bill are all specifically and distinctly made "subject to existing rights," and the object of this commission is to provide for the control of the use of the waters of this state so as to prevent their present and future waste and to secure their highest and best use, for the greatest good to the greatest number for the longest time. We believe—and in this belief many of the best water lawyers in the state concur—that a bill can be drawn which will at least partially attain the object aimed at, and which will not only not disturb existing rights, but will confirm them and protect them from future attack, and enable undetermined rights and equities to be determined and established more speedily, and certainly, and finally, and at least expense, than is possible under existing conditions. We also call your attention to the fact that the commission is still at work on the proposed legislation and, having held hearings concerning the tentative draft already put forth, has modified and will still further modify it to meet valid objections that have been made or will be made to it by interested parties. In passing and in conclusion permit us to suggest that, until the final draft of the proposed water commission bill is adopted by us, your association will find certain and ready remedy for any real evils the proposed bill may contain by pointing them out to this commission.. Respectfully yours, STATE CONSERVATION COM., Geo. C. Pardee, Chairman. SHERIFF RUDDOCK IN TOWN Thinks Almendares Will Be Given Full Penalty of 14 Years Sheriff Charley Ruddock was in town from Santa Ana on Saturday afternoon. He was in conference with Marshal Kellenberger and Deputy Germann. It was his first visit here missioners? These are the heavy respectable cogs in the machine who go round and round without knowing how or why. One may imagine that if Don Ricardo had laid his case before Al McCabe in Sacramento he would have been 'put wise' to the program if he could show that he had the goods to deliver. "Let Don Ricardo learn from the notorious Contra Costa county case, of which the Richmond Record-Herald says: "The Independent published a communication from Sumner Crosby, stating that he never discussed routing the state highway for political purposes, with Governor Johnson. Well, who said he did? He is just a pawn on the governor's chessboard and is probably not even consulted about such matters. That bluff was made by higherups than he, and his part in the elector program was to carpetbag over here from Alamenda county and do as he was told." "These are solid details perhaps, but they are instructive concerning the process by which a political machine is builted and copper riveted on the commonwealth." VETERANS ELECT OFFICERS O. V. Knowlton of Fullerton, Senior Vice Commander At the Huntington Beach encampment last week R. Heffelfinger of Los Angeles was elected commander of the Southern California Veterans' Association, O. V. Knowlton of Fullerton was chosen senior and A. M. Brown of Colton, junior vice-commander. Dr. D. A. Hassan of Buena Park was elected surgeon, and C. R. Norton of Glendale chaplain. The new council of administration is composed of J. S. Hattery of San Bernardino, A. J. Wilson of Los Angeles, C. C. Brown of Pasadena, R. H. Butker of San Diego, A. C. Lewis of Riverside, L. Scofield of Whittier, Frank Hobart of Ventura, G. W. Wilcox of Los Angeles, for the Sons of Veterans, and T. C. Galbraith of that city; for the Spanish War Veterans. The outgoing officers gave a dinner to the newly-elected ones at noon, and short talks were given by both. In the afternoon the women's auxillaries elected officers as follows: President,Mrs. Jessie S. Mason of Riverside; Mrs. Adelle Gardner of Huntington Beach, senior, and Mrs. Mary E.

He was in conference with Marshal Kellenberger and Deputy Germann. It was his first visit here since the day Kellenberger was shot by the cholo, Almendares, two months ago, at which time he made the distance between the county seat and this city in the record time of 11 minutes. He has recently returned from a month's visit at Minneapolis and other points east, during which time he attended a national meeting of sheriffs. He was called upon to give his views upon pardoning and paroling convicts and replied that he had yet to see a convict who was worthy of either. In this view of the case, he met with unanimous indorsement by other sheriffs at the convention. Mr. Ruddock states that while there might possibly be a case now and then where first offenders might be given clemency, the natural born convict is entitled to very little sympathy from the public. He states the case against Almendares will be called at sometime in the near future and that he stands a good chance of getting the full penalty of the law which is 14 years imprisonment.

The night entertainment was given by the Daughters of Veterans of Los Angeles and was enjoyed by a full house in the big auditorium. Mrs. Mary Dunning was re-elected president of the Penny Club for the seventh consecutive time, and Mrs. Anna Townsend of Los Angeles was chosen vice-president. R. C. Macdonald, the Santa Ana school teacher accused of felony by a girl pupil, will have another trial in the superior court, a jury in the first case tried last week having failed to agree. The jury was out 18 hours and was evenly divided at the guilt or innocence of the accused. Judge Cole of Imperial tried the case, sitting for Judge West. The latter has been especially severe upon cases of similar nature, and some months ago sentenced Peabody, a Magnolia school teacher convicted of the same offense, to 25 years in San Quentin prison. The most important oped by the oil industry been-the realization oil large enough to be a national asset in power. During 1914 came convincing that sufficiently plentiful oil to justify great trading expansion in California the adoption of oil as anern transcontinental significant portions of the introduction of oil as Alaska, without sumption up to the production, has given manency of the supply the industrial needs cific slope. The solution of the problem on the Atlantic much encouragement great development Mexico. The quantity Mexican fields are variously estimated to 12,000,000 barrels total output in 1911 was as much, the produce not by supply or denportation facilities: steamers are being widely as they can be time the popularity obtained has already of its market price. It should be borne that if there were sufficient for all the oil furnished for the ea TAKES THE LEAD IN PETROLEUM PRODUCTION CALIFORNIA WELLS HAVE GREATER OUTPUT THAN THOSE OF ANY OTHER STATE MORE THAN EIGHTY MILLION BARRELS YIELD OF 1911—PRODUCTION INCERASING Since the beginning of the oil industry in the United States over two and a half billion barrels have been produced, and the total value of the oil, reckoned in the crudest condition at the mouth of the well, is over two billion dollars. More than half of this oil has come from New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, and all has been produced in two years over half a century. In the first half of this period nearly the entire product came from the eastern fields, but later the declining production of the Eastern States has been more than compensated by the enormous output in the West, so that of the total product of the United States 972,429,805 barrels have been produced west of the Mississippi River, and at this time the Midcontinent and California fields are the controlling influences in the oil production of this country. If a line is drawn across Ohio separating its eastern oil areas from the Lima area and the Lima oils are included in the western production then the West already exceeds the East in the total produced. The annual report of the United States Geological Survey on the production of petroleum, compiled by D. ket would probably be temporarily oversupplied. The consumers of fuel require time for the substitution of oil for coal, though the many advantages of oil are obvious. Oil on Railroads Railroad consumption of fuel oil is especially popular because it gives added comforts in travel owing to the freedom from coal cinders, because it avoids the danger of forest fires, and particularly because it makes a saving in labor. In fact, until coal can be replaced by oil the weight of trains on mountain divisions is limited by the endurance of the fireman. In recommending the adoption of fuel oil on the mountain divisions of the Canadian Pacific Railway, William White, second vice-president, states that one of the reasons for this change is the removal of danger from conflagrations in the great forests of British Columbia. He also alludes to the failure of the immense locomotives now in use, saying: "It is not the failure of the locomotives; it is the failure of the fireman." A fireman shoveling coal on one of these locomotives for a distance of 130 miles is physically exhausted before getting to the end of the run. The Southern Pacific Company uses over 1,200 oil-burning locomotives, the Santa Fe over 800, the Northern Pacific 20, and the Great Northern 115. It is estimated that nearly 50,000,000 barrels of the California oil in 1911 was used for fuel. The Texas and Louisiana fuel oil used is estimated at 9,000,000 barrels, much of which was in the form of residues after light distillates were taken off. In the Mid-Continent field also crude oil as fuel is fast giving place to these "topped" oils. Of this material about 2,000,000 barrels were consumed. Little oil from the eastern fields finds use as fuel, because the heavy residuum is valuable for manufacture into lubricants, paraffin wax, etc. In all nearly 62,000,000 barrels were probably consumed as fuel oil in 1911 in the United States, a smelter of the Ray Consolidated Company, at Ray, Ariz., and in the copper smelter of the Nevada Consolidated Mining Company at Steptoe, Nev. At the Van Anda smelter, on Vancouver Island, satisfactory experiments have been carried out with California fuel oil.

If a line is drawn across Ohio separating its eastern oil areas from the Lima area and the Lima oils are included in the western production then the West already exceeds the East in the total produced. The annual report of the United States Geological Survey on the production of petroleum, compiled by D. T. Day, shows that for 1911 California not only led in quantity of product (over 80,000,000 barrels) but produced almost half as much again as Oklahoma, the State second in rank. The Mid-Continent field omitted, California produced as mucn oil as the rest of the United States put together; the United States being omitted, California produced more oil than any entire nation; and if Russia and the United States are omitted, California far surpassed the combined production of all the rest of the world, including Mexico, India, Roumania, Galicia, Japan, and South America. The rank of the States is easily remembered when one recognizes California, Oklahoma, and Illinois as forming a class by themselves, the lowest (Illinois) producing over 30,000,000 barrels and the three furnishing three-fourths of the entire output. The second group includes Louisiana, West Virginia, Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, in which Louisiana furnished a surprise by yielding the greatest product on record for that State (over 10,000,000 barrels) and passing to the head of this group, while the slight gain from two pools in Texas put that State in advance of Ohio again. In the third group, comprising Indiana, Kansas, New York, Kentucky, Colorado, Wyoming, Missouri, Utah, and Michigan, the largest State production is less than a fourth of the lowest in the second group, and combined these States produced less than 2.2 per cent of the total. The changes which may be expected in 1912 may advance the rank of West Virginia by the development of the Blue Creek pool, Kansas may change places with Indiana, and Wyoming may head the third group. Increased Use of Fuel Oils The most important feature developed by the oil industry of 1911 has been the realization of a supply of fuel oil large enough to be reckoned on as a national asset in the production of power. During 1910 arguments became convincing that fuel oil was sufficiently plentiful on the Pacific coast to justify great trade and manufacture. For Sale Only at MULLINIX Drug Store.

Increased Use of Fuel Oils The most important feature developed by the oil industry of 1911 has been the realization of a supply of fuel oil large enough to be reckoned on as a national asset in the production of power. During 1940 arguments became convincing that fuel oil was sufficiently plentiful on the Pacific coast to justify great trade and manufacturing expansion in California, and indeed the adoption of oil as fuel on the northern transcontinental railroads for significant portions of their lines and the introduction of oil as fuel as far north as Alaska, without bringing the consumption up to the level of present production, has given assurance of permanency of the supply sufficient for the industrial needs of the whole Pacific slope. The solution of the corresponding problem on the Atlantic coast received much encouragement in 1911 by the great development of oil supplies in Mexico. The quantity of oil which the Mexican fields are now ready to furnish is variously estimated at 6,000,000 to 12,000,000 barrels a month. The total output in 1911 was perhaps a tenth as much, the production being limited not by supply or demand but by transportation facilities. The needed tank steamers are being furnished as rapidly as they can be built, and mean time the popularity which fuel oil has obtained has already led to a doubling of its market price. It should be borne in mind, however, that if there were tank steamers sufficient for all the oil that can now be furnished for the east coast, the mar- Non Stop Reliability Run We want to sell 15 AUTOCAR Commercial Cars by Oct. 1st to win the coast agency sales record for ourselves.
