As an avoirdupois pound contains 7000 grains, its value is $301.42.

PLANNING TO PROBE COAST OIL COMPANIES Senator Declares Combination to Boost Prices Exists. Investigation of operations of Pacific Coast oil companies by the Federal Trade Commission is provided in a senate resolution introduced by Senator Poindexter, Washington. The resolution requests that every phase of the oil business, both producing and marketing, be gone into with particular reference to fuel oil. In introducing the resolution, Poindexter declared that oil consumers on the Coast are required to pay $1.85 a barrel for fuel oil which is sold in New Orleans at 80 cents. "Inasmuch as the Pacific Coast through its California fields produces more oil than it consumes, there is no excuse for the coast prices exceeding Atlantic or Gulf prices," Poindexter declared. That the probe if ordered will have a direct bearing on the whole cost of living question was asserted by Poindexter, who said "fuel oil enters into the price of nearly every commodity." "Consumers who have filed protests with me claim that the price of oil on the Pacific Coast is arbitrarily fixed by the Standard Oil Company of California," said Poindexter. "There is no real competition. The Standard's control has brought it enormous profits, enabling it to pay dividends in the last three years of 165 per cent. Last year's profit was $44,000,000 and an estimate based on the first six months shows the profits of 1919 will be millions higher.

Rolled into ninety pound rails there would be enough to build a standard guage railroad 261 5-6 miles. The circumference of the earth at the equator is 25,000 miles—132,000,000 feet, hence each linear foot might carry a band of gold weighing six pounds four and one-third ounces with a value of $1889.90. If rolled into a strip one-third of an inch thick by two inches wide it would be sufficient in length to reach entirely around the earth. BIG WHEAT SURPLUS HELD BY GRAIN BOARD McCulloch Says Amount Taken by Government Monopoly Makes Living Higher. In order to get at the source of some of the high cost of living, Representative Roscoe McCulloch of Ohio, has written a letter to Julius Barnes, United Stateswheat director in New York, in which he charges that the government is maintaining a monopoly in the sale of wheat and has wrung out of the public a surplus of $23,000,000. He says: "I am opposed to the government creating a monopoly in wheat and selling it at a profit. The people are now overburdened with the high cost of living, and for the government to exact a profit on the sale of foodstuffs seems to me to be little short of an outrage." "It appears that the grain corporation has earned $23,763,320 and that you are carrying this amount forward as an earned surplus. It is apparent that this amount was earned over and above the expenses of operating your corporation and after you had paid all your expenses, which must have been very heavy. "I am writing now to secure a full and complete statement of just how and from what sources this $23,000,000 together with your operating expenses were earned. In a recent letter with me claim that the price of oil on the Pacific Coast is arbitrarily fixed by the Standard Oil Company of California," said Poindexter. "There is no real competition. The Standard's control has brought it enormous profits, enabling it to pay dividends in the last three years of 165 per cent. Last year's profit was $44,000,000 and an estimate based on the first six months shows the profits of 1919 will be millions higher. In the three years when the Standard has paid 165 per cent dividends, prices of fuel oil on the coast have advanced nearly three fold. Poindexter's resolution directs the commission to pay particular attention to the Standard Oil, the Union Oil and the General Petroleum companies and to "report to the senate what, if any, combination in restraint of trade or unfair competition have existed, or do exist, and if any, the effect they have had on the market price of fuel oil, gasoline and other petroleum products." Officials of the General Petroleum Company denied there had been any combination to keep up oil prices on the Coast and attributed the difference in prices in New York and on the Coast to a difference in the gasoline content of California and Texas oils. They said crude oil is selling on the Pacific Coast for $1.60 per barrel. Out of this, the General Petroleum Company said, $1.30 is paid producers for oil at the wells, 25 cents goes for transportation to tide water and 1¼ cents is government tax. The 165 per cent dividends of the Standard Oil were attributed to increased production in the Montebello field as well as to high prices. SEEKING CITIZENSHIP A half dozen Orange county residents have recently filed petitions for citizenship. First papers were taken out by Eugene Sarrabere, aged 40, and a tailor of Huntington Beach. He is a native of France, and came to America in September, 1912. Petitions for final papers were filed by the following: Sidney Elson Saunby, 33 rancher of Tustin and native of London, Ontario, Canada, who came to the United States in April, 1913. Thomas George Allen, 40, gardener, of R. D. 1, Huntington Beach and native of Guernsey, Channel Islands, with me claim that the price of oil on the Pacific Coast is arbitrarily fixed by the Standard Oil Company of California," said Poindexter. "There is no real competition. The Standard's control has brought it enormous profits, enabling it to pay dividends in the last three years of 165 per cent.

It is apparent that this amount was earned over and above the expenses of operating your corporation and after you had paid all your expenses, which must have been very heavy. "I am writing now to secure a full and complete statement of just how and from what sources this $23,000,000, together with your operating expenses, were earned. In a recent letter to me you say that 'in reselling wheat we had just one price—the guaranteed price, plus 14 cents per bushel.' In addition to statements I have requested, I would thank you to furnish me the reselling price of wheat as determined by your corporation, for all the months during which you have administered the law and fixed the resale price. "In view of the strained conditions throughout the country, which so far as the cost of living goes, have reached almost the breaking point, I ask for information, if you can furnish it, which will justify the government agency taking out of the pockets of the consumers of bread a net surplus of $23,763,320. This profit must come out of the pockets of the consumers, and the producers do not get it. At the time the bill to make good the guarantee on wheat was being considered by the House I contended that the loss, if any, which would result from the guaranteed price being greater than the market price should be paid out of the Treasury of the United States and not added to the price of wheat, thus increasing the cost of living to the consumer. I do not believe that Congress ever intended, in granting the authority contained in the tailor of Huntington Beach. He is a native of France, and came to America in September, 1912. Petitions for final papers were filed by the following: Sidney Elson Saunby, 33 rancher of Tustin and native of London, Ontario, Canada, who came to the United States in April, 1913. Thomas George Allen, 40, gardener, of R. D. 1, Huntington Beach and native of Guernsey, Channel Islands, England, who came here in December, 1916. Emil Gruner, 33, cabinet maker and farmer of Harper, and native of Niklosdorf, Austria, who came to America in May, 1913. Julius Gottlieb Kley, 29, machinist helper, of Anaheim, and native of Neckarwestheim, Germany, who came in March, 1906. Herbert Hall, 33, auto trimmer, of Santa Ana, and native of Essex Centre, Canada, who moved to the United States in August, 1905. A request that the Board of Supervisors send County Sealer of Weights and Measures George McPhee to the state school of instruction to be held at Oakland August 27-28-29 was received from Charles G. Johnson of Sacramento, superintendent of the California weights and measures department. Johnson points out that on account of war conditions no school has been held for three years, but that the public now fully appreciates the work of the department and it is necessary that the county sealers become thoroughly informed on all phases of their jobs so that they can render the best service to their respective communities. But not only is first actress of the sonally beloved farewell performer been called many curtain she found theater to her hethuslastic country drove to the railroad were "Niech z (Viva Modjeska wracaj do kraju) return to thy name the cartoons in there was one idol is represented air a cloud of life after her, and the explains that the countrymen follow and poetasters o graceful lines he wonder that after exciting triumphs actions of an act opposite extremes eria of southern the best thing in wonder too that begin to cloy?

It seemed natural to the man to be an exile; he belonged to an ancient noble family of Poland, in which the crime of patriotism was hereditary. His wife sought rest after many years of exciting work at a profession in which few excel. Charles Bozenta was glad to get away from the ignoble censorship of Russia; Helena Modjeska from the stress of the Imperial Theater of Warsaw. The proscribed exile, prisoner, and "shadowed" editor longed for freedom in the broad bosom of the United States. The vexed and too noisily admired actress wanted a holiday; she dreamed of the happiness of a farmer's life far across the sea. So it was that California woke up one morning with two new citizens, as far as applications for that honor could make them citizens—with two Polish investors in real estate. What could be better than a rancheria in southern California? Quick then! Cattle for a dairy and creamy milk, fowls for new laid eggs, and, above all these, mustangs for wild rides across the bare stretches of the western slope! Whoever has seen the entrance of a family of immigrants upon the western farm which they have at last bought with hard-earned savings, will appreciate the humor of this so different situation. For these are settlers who neither sleep in a hut till the house is built, nor add one cow to another till the herd is formed. How can you expect it? They are children off on a grand holiday; not German immigrants. When they get finally ridges on horseback will not atone for the flasco of milkless kine and eggless poultry. And alas! theatricals on a rancho are worse than private! Now San Francisco was not Warsaw; but it had a stage. Madame Modjeska gravitated naturally toward the nearest city which possessed a house of dramatic entertainment, that place of spells where pleasures and vexations succeed each other in equal force. In February she took it into her head to learn English, beginning with her A. B. C. In June of the same year she was offered a chief role in a play in San Francisco—why not accept it? To attempt English drama while yet so imperfect in the language was somewhat mad, but the whole journey had been on a holiday basis, and a little-craziness was only one item on the program. If failure awaited her, who would hear of it? Few outside of Poland were acquainted with her name, because she spoke neither French nor German well enough to figure on the stage of Paris or Berlin. Being a still greater stranger in the United States, not even New York would hear of a flasco. She accepted played "Adrienne Lecouvreur," made a success. At once came offers for "star engagements" through the country. Then it was that we first began to hear of a new actress with a strange name who had been heralded through none of the approved channels of theatrical report.—Charles de Kay. HIGHER FREIGHT RATES From facts already developed in the study of the problem of re-establishment of our transportation systems under private management, it is clearly evident that the people of America must make up in one form or another, the depreciation in railroad equipment suffered in the past few years because the bare stretches of the western slope! Whoever has seen the entrance of a family of immigrants upon the western farm which they have at last bought with hard-earned savings, will appreciate the humor of this so different situation. For these are settlers who neither sleep in a hut till the house is built, nor add one cow to another till the herd is formed. How can you expect it? They are children off on a grand holiday; not German immigrants. When they get finally settled and going they will write to their friends in Warsaw—some of the editors and artists, noblemen and merchants, who frequented their house of old—and these will come to build a little free Poland in California. Madame Helena wants a pastoral life, but, of course, without drudgery. She longs for Arcadia and its flocks, with all the base particulars left out! And so, as a matter of course, the cows give no milk whatever; the fowls indeed will sometimes lay an egg; but Madame's poodle finds it and the bulldog of Monsieur devours it. Well, what does it matter? They are artists and Poles. Helena Benda, born in Cracow in 1844, married to G. S. Modjeska in 1860, and to Count Charles Bozenta Chlapowski in 1868, deprived the stage of Warsaw of its chief boast, when in 1876 she insisted on an indefinite leave of absence from the Imperial Theater. She had been acting since 1861, when she made her first appearance in the small town of Bochnia. She traveled afterward with her brothers, both of them actors, and in 1863 performed at a theater of her own in Czerniowce, the capital of the Austrian Bukowina. The year 1865 found her the leading actress in Cracow, and in 1868 she made a triumphant entree upon the Warsaw stage. The following year she was engaged for life to the Imperial Theater there, and began to introduce to the Poles the highest class of tragedy. Shakespeare, Cornellie Mollere, Goethe, Schiller, Hugo, Moreto—these were the authors she put on the stage. Coming of a family of actors, actresses, and musicians, she was taught by Jasinski, a dramatic author of repute, who was also scenic manager in Cracow and Warsaw. But not only did she become the first actress of the land; she was personally beloved. On the night of her farewell performance, after having been called many times before the curtain, she found the street from the HIGHER FREIGHT RATES From facts already developed in the study of the problem of re-establishment of our transportation systems under private management, it is clearly evident that the people of America must make up in one form or another, the depreciation in railroad equipment suffered in the past few years because of inadequate railroad revenue. Upon an efficient transportation system the prosperity of every other industry and enterprise depends. The short-sighted and unbusiness-like policy of railroad regulation by one Federal and 48 State regulatory bodies resulted in what has been appropriately called starvation of the roads—a condition that must be corrected by adoption of a constructive, unified supervision. The present condition of the transportation facilities may be better understood if we review briefly the changes that have taken place in the past few years. The great prosperity of the railroads was between the fiscal years ending in June, 1898, and June, 1907. During this period the railroads showed continuous increases in their gross revenues year by year, and, as a result of that prosperity, the physical condition of the railroad properties was raised to the highest peak. In the autumn of 1907 the panic occurred, and from July 1, 1907, the beginning of the fiscal year 1908, the financial and physical conditions showed, with two exceptions, continuous depreciation up to the time the railroads were taken over by the government at the close of the calendar year, 1917. Between 1908 and 1914 twenty-eight major railway corporations and over fifty minor corporations went into bankruptcy. During the period above stated the railways had only two prosperous years, viz: the fiscal year 1910, during which there was a quick recovery from the paralysis which followed the panic of 1907, and again in 1913, following a year of banner crops in practically all lines of agriculture. During those years the railroads were fully maintained and probably some gain was made, but the fiscal years 1911, '12, '14, '15 and '16 were all lean years, and in order that the roads might meet their interest and dividend obligations, expenses were reduced beyond a safe inefficient cars averaged about $130 per annum, as against $60 per annum for modern steel under-frame or all-steel cars. It is safe to say that all those 847,000 cars, except those that were no longer fit to run, are still in service, and that their war cost of maintenance is in the neighborhood of $300 per annum. There was a deficiency of $446,000.000 in car replacement in the period from 1908 to 1914, inclusive. At the prices current in the year 1915, those cars could have been replaced now at a cost of $847,000,000. At current prices the cost would now be $2,445.600,000. An expert estimate was made in 1915 of the depreciation of permanent way, bridges, buildings, etc., and the conclusion was reached that the depreciation had been up to that time $2,000 per mile of the main line. As that condition has not been improved since then, it is a safe assumption that it will require $3,000 per mile of main line to bring the railroad structure up to the required status at this time, or $780,000,000 on the basis of pre-war cost. Assuming the present cost, the amount would be double or $1.560,000,000. Notwithstanding the increase of twenty-five per cent in freight rates and approximately fifty per cent in passenger rates, ordered by the Railroad Administration, effective June 25, 1918, there is a deficit to the government under its guarantee, up to and including May of this year, amounting to $451,000,000. It is thus evident that there must be another increase in rates, and the public can not have much hope of any reduction in these rates until the depreciation of she physical properties which has occurred in the past thirteenth years has been Mollere, Goethe, Schiller, Hugo, Moreto—these were the authors she put on the stage. Coming of a family of actors, actresses, and musicians, she was taught by Jasinski, a dramatic author of repute, who was also scenic manager in Cracow and Warsaw. But not only did she become the first actress of the land; she was personally beloved. On the night of her farewell performance, after having been called many times before the curtain, she found the street from the theater to her house packed with enthusiastic countrymen. When she drove to the railway station the ways were again crowded. Their cries were "Niech zyge Modrzewska!" ("Viva Modjeska!") and "Pani Helena, wracaj do kraju!" ("Madame Helena, return to thy native land!") Among the cartoons in the illustrated papers there was one in which the popular idol is represented aboard ship. In the air a cloud of little winged hearts fly after her, and the legend underneath explains that the hearts of all her countrymen follow her. The poets and poetasters of Warsaw lament in graceful lines her departure. What wonder that after fifteen years of the exciting triumphs and inevitable vexations of an actress' life, the very opposite extreme—to manage a rancheria of southern California—seemed the best thing in the world? But what wonder, too, that Arcadia should soon begin to cloy? The actress who has seen an amphi-theater kindle with the fervor which she has herself called forth and partly shares, sooner or later will want to return to the boards. It is true that on the California farm the mustangs fully come up to the expectation, but in the long run even the success of which there was a quick recovery from the paralysis which followed the panic of 1907, and again in 1913, following a year of banner crops in practically all lines of agriculture. During those years the railroads were fully maintained and probably some gain was made, but the fiscal years 1911, '12, '14, '15 and '16 were all lean years, and in order that the roads might meet their interest and dividend obligations, expenses were reduced beyond a safe limit and the properties depreciated. In the year 1917 railroad revenues reached a very high level, but due to the high cost and scarcity of labor, and the unusual increase in the cost of materials, the depreciation of the physical properties continued. At the close of the fiscal year 1914 there were in service on Class I and II railroads 2,325,647 freight cars. Of that number 847,000 cars were of the capacity of 60,000 pounds, or under, and were practically all of wood construction. If it had not been for the meager earnings of the railroads in the period from 1907 to 1914 and the loss of credit due to their impoverished condition, probably all of those cars would have been renewed with modern cars within that time. As the railroad disabilities extended to 1917, it is fair to assume that very little was done in the replacement of those cars up to the time the government took over the properties. Those wooden cars were uneconomic, being deficient both in carrying and cubic capacity, too weak to meet the strain when interspersed with cars of modern construction, and further loss of efficiency was suffered in the time consumed in making frequent and extensive repairs. The pre-war cost of maintaining those and approximately fifty per cent in passenger rates, ordered by the Railroad Administration, effective June 25, 1918, there is a deficit to the government under its guarantee, up to and including May of this year, amounting to $451,000,000. It is thus evident that there must be another increase in rates, and the public can not have much hope of any reduction in these rates until the depreciation of the physical properties which has occurred in the past thirteen years has been made good. The experience of the past few years has doubled convinced the public that the greatest essential to the prosperity of the country is an efficient transportation system, and there is no way of securing it except by placing railway tariffs upon a level that will afford the means of attaining the desired end, and turning the properties over to their owners for efficient and competitive management with such governmental regulatory encouragement as will insure the peak of service and prevent the exploitation of either the public or the stockholders. FALL GARDENS Spring vegetable gardens having rewarded planters with fresh table delicacies, the fall garden is now in order. The last days of July and the first week of August is the vital period in the planting of the second series of home garden crops. It is impossible to assemble a truly comprehensive planting calendar for the varying sections of Southern California that shall be a safe and accurate guide for all at the same time. Temperature, altitude, soils, water supply elter Your Future WITH A SAVINGS ACCOUNT now for a rainy day. You may not clearly nor be so able to weather the when the clouds of adversity begin to A bank account is like a rainbow---a ant of sunshine after the storm. Little of savings now make a flood of pros-for the future. Let us show you how aside money and watch it grow. AHEIM NATIONAL BANK AHEIM NATIONAL BANK PLAN, President. A. B. McCORD, Cashier and many other factors in the propagation of plants differ so radically in localities that it is impossible to prescribe the time and method for planting vegetables without localizing. For instance: in the extremely hot interior valleys the planting of vegetables, because of the intense heat, is impossible of success in July and August. Then again, sections tempered by coast breezes during the next two months will produce abundant crops of leafy vegetables, such as lettuce, kale and spinach, while in localities removed from the influences of coast air currents it is unwise to plant these until September. Probably Southern California has the most variable climatic and soil conditions of any like area in the country, and to publish a planting calendar for the whole district is misleading. In the coastal region of Southern California where the annual rainfall averages eight inches, the tender vegetables, such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and okra, may be planted during the last two weeks in July and the first week of August with a reasonable certainty that they will produce a crop before the time when an early frost may be expected. In the interior region it is wise to either wait another month or to construct either permanent or movable lath shades to protect the young plants until the sun is less ardent. The home or farm gardener should be particular regarding the variety of tender plants for the fall garden. There are late varieties which are especially adapted to the season. As to the other plants which may be started in the coastal region at this time; fall spinach, pole snap and pole lima beans, beets, fall lettuce, parsnips, turnips, carrots, late peas, radishes, onion sets, are all-year-round there are two other gatherings of veterans this year at which Orange county veterans will be represented. The first is the National Encampment of the United Spanish War Veterans, to be held in San Francisco September 2 to September 4. One hundred from Southern California are expected to attend this gathering. A special reduced railroad fare has been arranged and a special car will be attached to the regular day train leaving the S. P. depot at Los Angeles Sunday, August 31, at 8 a.m., for the benefit of the Southland delegation. The next encampment in order is the national G. A. R. gathering, to be held at Columbus, Ohio, September 8 to September 13, inclusive. An attendance of ten to fifteen thousand is expected, and two or three trains will be made up in Southern California to transport the veterans and their party to Columbus. A special railroad rate of 1 cent a mile has been arranged for delegates, it is reported.
