STORM DAMAGE SLIGHT IN OIL REGION DEVELOPMENT PROCEEDS WITH ITS USUAL VIGOR IN ALL THE STATE'S FIELDS TEN NEW WELLS REPORTED LAST WEEK, BEING ALMOST EQUAL TO HIGH RECORD That the storm damage in the oil fields of California served as only a slight check in development is shown by the weekly report of the oil department of the state mining bureau. Ten new wells are reported, which is near the high record mark, four of them are in the Kern river field and five in the Lost Hills region. Wells in both of these districts are usually shallow and comparatively inexpensive. The associated Oil company owns five wells and the Standard Oil company three. Seventeen wells, a number considerably above the average, were reported as ready for test of water shut off, five for deepening or redrilling and three for abandonment. The advisability of oil operators spending money in the protection of their lands against water is clearly illustrated by two wells situated in the Midway field, which were recently abandoned and plugged according to specifications furnished by the mining bureau, with the result that improved conditions are already reported at neighboring wells. Had it not been for the present law the improper high salaries attached. Nearly the whole San Francisco delegation in the assembly, excepting two regular republicans are on the state pay roll. During the 1915 session of the legislature an attempt was made by the minority to submit to the electors of the state an amendment for bidding members of the legislature to hold other state positions. But this amendment was smothered in committee by the progressive coalition. It was especially offensive to Chairman Neylan of the state board of control and to Al McCabe, political secretary to Gov. Johnson. At the special session in January the patronage sack was again opened, and for three days there was an active trading market. It become so offensive that thirty-five members of the assembly who were not tainted by the patronage graft met in a conference and agreed that they would father a constitutional amendment to abolish his legalized graft. In a resolution they asserted that the patronage vote had become so strong that it was no longer possible to secure a fair consideration of the average bill by the legislature. The proposed constitutional amendment will be circulated in conjunction with the referendum against the latest nonparty bill. It is in line with the constitutional provisions of New York and a number of other states. nearly all of those states the passage of the act was occasioned by openly corrupt trading of patronage for votes. A partial list of members of the present and the preceding legislature who are on the state pay roll reveals that the state now pays to them more than $60,000 a year in salaries alone. This means a patronage of $240,000 in four years to the members of the legislature direct, and PUBLIC RESOLUTION Gifford Pinchot Votes Measure Now Union at Nation Milford, Editor Gazette:—help to deefat a man on our public rescue fight over the Alaska won there has not threatened against the city as the present effort give our public watering into monopolists. The Shields Bill, rate, gives to the power out compensation amount of water power supply is larger in the United States but does not, enaake back their own end of fifty years, so under the bill, would have to pay creement, and to taking systems of citizen facturing plants. Tions are authorized land, private or po condemn. Bills which gave powers without were vetoed by President Taft would do precisely day. Another water pals Bill, relating to national forestland, good bill when it The advisability of oil operators spending money in the protection of their lands against water is clearly illustrated by two wells situated in the Midway field, which were recently abandoned and plugged according to specifications furnished by the mining bureau, with the result that improved conditions are already reported at neighboring wells. Had it not been for the present state law the improper methods of plugging, which were actually under way, would have resulted in irreparable damage to surrounding property valued at many times the cost of both the state supervision and the work of plugging the wells. There are at present an umber of companies in the Midway field operating, under lease from the Federal government, on about 900 acres of land located in the areas which were withdrawn from entry several years ago. These leases run until the question of title is decided, the royalty being held in escrow. The problem of protecting these lands from damage by infiltrating water has been greatly simplified by the action of the chief of the field division of the U. S. land office, who is cooperating with the state oil and gas supervisor.

The petition, which is in the form of a constitutional amendment, provides that no member of the legislature can hold any appointe position under the state government during the period for which he has been elected. During the legislative session of 1915 the charge was repeatedly made both on the floor of the legislature and through the press that the present administration was controlling the votes of a number of legislators through the medium of state jobs. An inspection of the state pay rolls reveals that during the Johnson administration forty-eight members of the legislature have been appointed to state positions, most of them with THE AVERAGE MAN William Dean Howells was talking in Boston about the classics. "Nobody reads the classics," he said. "The average man knows just about as much of the classics as the squire knew of Shakespeare. A school teacher said to the squire: "'Funny thing happened at school today. I asked the boys who wrote 'Hamlet', and a little fellow put up his hand and squeaked: ''Teacher, it wasn't me.' "The school teacher paused and smiled. The squire looked at him, and then gave a loud, interrogative laugh. ''Haw, haw, haw! And I suppose the little rascal had done it after all!' he shouted." Lumber of every description, lime, cement, and all kinds of building material can always be found in our yards, and you will also find our prices reasonable. Griffith Lumber company. The entire fault has been President Wilson's. He now asks if the people are content to have their president do nothing but write notes. Yet it is not so long ago that he believed that his notes were the acme of national defence and that his rickety typewriter was a more efficient armament than either battle ships or forts. The president has a gift of good language and a most plausible method of glossing over an undesirable situation—but the people know the facts. They most emphatically do not wish to have all the world say that the flag of the United States can be stained with impunity. And because that is not their wish they intend to terminate Woodrow Wilson's term in the White House.

Since the fight over the Alaska resources was won there has not been so pressing threat against the conservation policy as the present effort in Congress to give our public water powers for nothing into monopolistic control. The Shields Bill, now before the senate, gives to the power interests without compensation the uses of water power on navigable streams. The amount of water power these streams will supply is larger by far than all the power of every kind now in use in the United States. It pretends to, but does not, enable the people to take back their own property at the end of fifty years, for in order to do so under the bill, the Government would have to pay the unearned increment, and to take over whole lighting systems of cities and whole manufacturing plants. Private corporations are authorized to seize upon any land, private or public, they choose to condemn. Bills which gave away public water powers without due compensation were vetoed by President Roosevelt and President Taft. The Shields bill would do precisely the same thing today. Another water power bill, the Ferris Bill, relating to the public lands and national forests, was in the main a good bill when it passed the House. THE GAZETTE has a large and bona-fide circulation. THE GAZETTE is a good advertising medium. secure for all Americans at home and abroad protection for life and property. The delegation from Florida is said to be made up of representative and responsible republicans who may be depended upon to find in the field of CANADIAN FINANCES AND OURS A report from Canada states: "The revenue of the country for the nine months ending December 31 last shows the satisfactory increase of over $22,000,000, while the expenditure marks Bills which gave away public water powers without due compensation were vetoed by President Roosevelt and President Taft. The Shields bill would do precisely the same thing today. Another water power bill, the Ferry Bill, relating to the public lands and national forests, was in the main a good bill when it passed the House. As reported to the Senate, it encourages monopoly by permitting a corporation to take as many public water power sites as it may please. Under it the corporations could not even be kept from fastening upon the Grand Canyon, the greatest natural wonder on this continent. This bill takes the care of water powers on national forests from the experienced and competent forest service, and gives it to the interior department, thus entailing duplication and needless expense. In my opinion, there is undue carelessness as to the disposal of public resources at present in Washington. The water power legislation now before the senate is too favorable to the men who, as Secretary Houston's admirable recent report shows, control through 18 corporations more than one half of the total water power used in public service throughout the United States. The water power men charge that conservation hampers development. The Houston report shows, on the contrary, that the most rapid development is in the National Forests, where conservation is best enforced. On the other hand, 120 public service corporations own and are holding undeveloped and out of use an amount of water power equal to four fifths of all there is developed and in use by all the public service corporations in the whole United States. As I said in an open letter of January 29 to the president: "Natural resources lie at the foundation of all preparedness, whether for peace or war. No plan for national defense can be effective unless it provides for adequate public control of all the raw materials out of which the defensive strength of a nation is made. Of these raw materials water power is the most essential, because without electricity generated from water power we can not manufacture nitrates, and nitrates are the basis of gunpowder. There are no great natures secure for all Americans at home and abroad protection for life and property. The delegation from Florida is said to be made up of representative and responsible republicans who may be depended upon to find, in the field of candidates, exactly the kind of man whom all republicans everywhere wish to put at the head of the ticket this year. No other kind of a man can possibly win a nomination in a convention free from acrimony and scandal. It will be animated by sincere and patriotic purposes, shared alike by the first delegates to be chosen and by the last as well. NEW RAILROAD SOON TO BE COMPLETED Near Approach of Line Causes Increase in Values and Demand for Farm Lands The engineers of the California Southern Realty company state that at the present rate of progress trains will be running from Blythe Junction to Blythe in the Palo Verde valley by the first of May. This is the railroad which has been under construction for some time past and which when completed will open up the wonderfully fertile Palo Verde valley to the markets of the world. For many years the Palo Verde Valley has been known as one of the most fertile spots in California and it has only lacked transportation. In spite of the difficulty of getting in there, the valley has now in the neighborhood of 3000 settlers and this number is growing rapidly. The Palo Verde valley comprises about 100,000 acres adjoining the historic Colorado river in Riverside county. A system of irrigation canals and ditches with a solid granite intake furnishes an abundant supply of water for irrigation. The system operates by gravity, thus eliminating pumping expense and was built without a dollar of bonded indebtedness and is owned by the land holders in the valley. Last season the world's cotton production record was broken in the Palo Verde valley by an average of over 1½ bales to the acre over the entire district, many farmers getting as high as two CANADIAN FINANCES AND OURS A report from Canada states: "The revenue of the country for the nine months ending December 31 last shows the satisfactory increase of over $22,000,000, while the expenditure marks the still more satisfactory decrease of over $11,500,000." The total improvement compared with last year is $39,000,000. The report says: "From the experience of the closing months of 1915, there is every reason to expect that this improvement will continue, and that the end of the fiscal year on March 31 next will exhibit a still more favorable result." Canada is supplying her share of men and money to the European war. The United States is profiting by the war even though the administration laid on a war tax, and contemplate further taxation of war profits. Yet the Canadian treasury is in fine shape, while the United States treasury is just the everse. Canada has economized in her governmental expenditures. The United states, under a democratic administration, has been more extravagant than ever in the history of the country, despite platform pledges of economy. Canada has a protective tariff. The United States, in control of a minority party, has not. These are the answers. WHERE CAPITAL IS NEEDED According to the Bakersfield Morning Echo, 17,000 cubic feet of water was passing under the Chester street bridge every second at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, during the flood week. That means that enough water passed the Chester street bridge to irrigate 11,000 acres of land three feet deep every 24 hours. During the week it is probable enough water went down the Kern river channel to irrigate 50,000 acres of land. The Kern river conditions prevailed in practically every stream flowing west out of the Sierra, and east out of the Coast range. Enough water went to waste in the San Joaquin valley rivers, during the week to irrigate a million acres, on a conservative estimate. Hundreds of thousands of acres in The first delegates to the republican national convention are those from Florida, where the state convention was held on the ninth of February. Eight uninstructed delegates were selected and the convention adopted this resolution: "We look with confidence to the republican national convention to nominate a presidential candidate that will inspire and unify all patriotic citizens who believe in protection, prosperity and preparedness and who will system of irrigation canals and ditches with a solid granite intake furnishes an abundant supply of water for irrigation. The system operates by gravity, thus eliminating pumping expense and was built without a dollar bonded indebtedness and is owned by the land holders in the valley. Last season the world's cotton production record was broken in the Pao Verde valley by an average of over 1½ bales to the acre over the entire district, many farmers getting as high as two bales to the acre. The land is a rich alluvial soil said to be from 20 to 80 feet in depth, and when crops are irrigated with the silt laden waters of the Colorado river, there is very little need for fertilizer. H. L. Costello the Anaheim agent for the California Southern Realty company who are offering farm lands with water at $100 an acre, announces that the company will run an excursion to the valley next Saturday, leaving Los Angeles at 2 P.M. and giving each excursionist an opportunity to look over the valley thoroughly and get back on Monday if they desire. Mr. Costello is enthusiastic over the possibilities that the valley offers to farmers and investors and will be glad to meet Anaheim people personally and tell them all that he knows about the valley." PROTECTION DISTRICT MEETING Thursday, Feb. 24, 1916. 7:30 P.M. Anaheim Union High School Meeting of owners of lands, outside the Newbert District, subject to overflow of the Santa Ana River, called to discuss the immediate formation of a River Protection District. By Order of Organization Committee CHAS. EYGABROAD, Chairman. During the week it is probable enough water went down the Kern river channel to irrigate 50,000 acres of land. The Kern river conditions prevailed in practically every stream flowing west out of the Sierra, and east out of the Coast range. Enough water went to waste in the San Joaquin valley rivers, during the week to irrigate a million acres, on a conservative estimate. Hundreds of thousands of acres in the valley will be barren the coming summer which under the ditches would be beautiful in their green productivity. The cost of impounding the flood waters pouring out of the watersheds on either side of the valley would be trivial in comparison with the productive wealth those waters would bring to the state and nation. The people of this state should encourage capital to go into reclamation projects and ensure investors a square deal. THE BOY'S REPLY "Here boy!" called out the office wit to the new hand, who seemed very green, "run over to Nibs & Dibs' and get thirp'nyworth of pigeon's milk, will you? Here's half a crown; bring the change back to me, and be quick about it!" The boy set out but did not return for some time, and when he did get back the chief partner was giving some orders to Reginald. The boy knew nothing of office etiquette, so he stepped between Reggie and the boss and produced a live pigeon. "Here you are," he sald. "Mr. Nibs says you can jolly well milk the bird yourself. And there ain't no change." Start a bank account in the Anaheim National Bank and add to it, and you will never be broke.

Center St. WATCHFUL WAITING'S LITTLE BROTHER Let the Americans come back home. That has become the democratic watchword under the Wilson administration. When the rights of our citizens abroad are infringed the responsibility is placed upon them for venturing outside the limits of the United States in the futile belief that their country would look after their welfare and interests. Mexico has provided the most distressing exhibitions of this weak and maudlin sentimentality and it is in the background of the democratic idea in the plan for early self-government of the Filipinos. When the matter was being debated in Congress the other day and the argument was advanced that danger would be imposed upon the Americans in the Islands by withdrawal of American government agencies, Representative Rucker immediately arose to shout the democratic battle cry of peace. Let the Americans come back home! There are some 5000 Americans in the Philippines. What are they doing there? Are they grafting on the natives and rendering more intolerable the conditions of a primitive people? Or are they establishing a higher order of civilization, one which includes schools, better sanitation, higher efficiency on the farm and in native industries?

Are they grafting on the natives and rendering more intolerable the conditions of a primitive people? Or are they establishing a higher order of civilization, one which includes schools, better sanitation, higher efficiency on the farm and in native industries? Although American civilians have been working in the Philippines barely sixteen years, they have rehabilitated the place. They have done more for the Filipines in sixteen years than the Spanish did in 300. They are making two blades of grain flourish where one grew before. They are banishing the reign of ignorance, filth and cruelty. They have carried the illuminating torch of better living into the darkest corners, doing those things for an inferior people that Americans inevitably and invariably do. Dr. M. M.
