Toe Much OIL.

At amOderate estimate there are $50, 900
gallons of petroleum running to waste
every day in the Mexican county (Pa.)
oil regions. The tanks, with capacity for
several million barrels, are filled to over
flowing. The market is OverstOcked, and
still production goes on at the rate of 25,-
600 barrels a day, 5000 more than the
pipe lines can handle. New wells are
going down in all parts of the region.
The price of oil is from % to 80 cents less
per barrel than the cost of production
The streams are literally rivers of oil.
Large quantities of petroleum are alb
sOrbed by the cart h. In Marshy places
the ground is ii mass Of greasy mud, sew
eral inches deep. In some parts of the
region the streams are damned and the
oil collected in large ponds, at places as
far distant as possible from derriclls and
buildings. These ponds are set on fire
daily. Thus u large quantity of the
waste oil is disposed OF. All efforts to
limit the production of oil and stop this
great waste have failed.

The utes.

The UteS are the Indians found in the
mountain regions of Colorado. They are
among the most intelligent and bravest
Indians ever found west of the Missis-
sippi. They lorded it over the other
mountain Indians of this section of the
West in the Olden time, just us the Sioux
did on the north and COmanches on the
south. Many hard fight did the soldiers
have with these Indians when they first
entered the mountains of Colorado. In
Ute Pass, Il few miles west of Colorado
Springs, band not suspecting the pres
eLCe of white men in that locality, was
surrounded and shot down like dogs.
They never forgot that slaughter, and
perhaps never will. After the whites be-
gan to crowd into the mountains the Utes
were finally induced to go upon reser-
walton in Colorado set apart for them.
This reservation contains II ,724 800 acres,
and is located in Western Colorado. The
White River Utes live in the northern
part of the reservation; the Los Plnos
Utes in the central part, and the South
ern Utes in the Southern part. The
White River Utes have broken out in re-
volt. This division of the tribe numbers
800 souls,
These Indians like all Indians, love
their old homes among the mountains
They were born there, played there i'm
childhood, hunted among those noun
balnS all their llYeS, know nothing of any
other country, and believe that country
| the only good country in the world. Ii
is the land given to them by the Great
Spirit for home. They don't like to see
| the white man rambling around upon
| their reservation. They know what il
means. These Indians have been well
fed, well clothed and kindly treated by
the government. Not so, however, did
the pioneers treat them. In the rocks
! and mountains of their old homes there
| was the glittering dust, and the white
man found it out. He wanted the gold
He wanted the Indians hunting ground
for the purpose of delying down into the
mountains for gold. ProspectOrs invaded

and they began to fear that they would
soon be crowded to death. There has
been much dissatisfaction among these
Indians for some time past. A Peace

A rather deplorable state of affairs is
existing in Great Britain at the present
time. Late advices from London are to
the effect that the general failure of the
grain crops thrOughOuts England will
necessitate an almost unparalleled draft
upon the production of foreign countries.
OF wheat alone the requirement. of Eng
land to supply her home deficiencies are
estimated at 10, 900, 900 quarters.
The terrible effects of the hard times
and depression in all branches of trade in
Great Britain are painfully apparent in
the tremendous increase of the pOpula-
ton. In eleven districts of England and
Wales the total number of this class is
estimated at eight hundred thousand peO-
pie.
A movement is on foot in Ireland to pre-
pare an appeal, to he addressed through
lay clerical committees to their kinsmen
in America, asking for substantial aid to
enable them to tide over the inevitable
calamities of the coming winter.

An interesting calculation is made as
to the average loss of live stock on the
voyage from the United States and Can
ada, from returns prepared for the Liver
pool underwriters. In the case of cattle
the loss is about , per cent. of the num-
Der shipped; while sheep suffer to the
extent of only J per cent. The heaviest
mortality is in the case of pigs, being
over 10 per cent. These calculations show
a great diminutiOn in the proportion of
loss since the establishment of the trade
in live stock, at which time the deaths
amongst the cattle amounted in some cases
to 20 per cent. The decreased ratio is
said to be due to the more enlightened
means which are now adopted for the
comfort of the cattle on the voyage.

The Dayton and Southeastern Railroad
(narrow gaugel has just completed and
put into successful operation n transfer
ing arrangement, by which they change
standard gauge cars to the three foot
gauge trucks with very little trouble; aud
much more convenience than by the old
plan of lifting the bodies while the
wheels are run under. The mode is diff
cult to explain satisfactorily without a
diagram, vet it is very simple and COM
plete. The car is pushed along until it
arrives at a point where one of the trucks
of the gauge is left by reason of a des-
cending grade. The body still continues,
being supported by wheels on an outside
track of a higher grade, until the track is
found high enough to bring the narrow
! gauge trucks into position, and leave the
! outside support disconnected and out of
| the way. The work requires but two men ,
and is done in a very short time. The
| Dayton and Southeastern made their first
| experiment on the 23d inst, when they
! carried over their road four ears of iron
| loaded on standard cars at indianapolis.
| The time made was fifteen miles per hour,
with as apparent safety as their own
| gauge cars. The time required in trans
| ferring was four minutes to the car.
| Freights are now to be seen almost daily
! passing over their line in transit from
the East and West, going over the differ
ent gauges successfully. When the
Miami Valley and Columbus Narrow
| gauge is completed into this city a SINH
| lar convenience is to be constructed for
transferring freight at this pOint.-OhiC

AFTER all that has been said by Demo-
cratic orators and newspapers about bay
Onets at the polls, and the terrible efforts
made by them to frighten Democrats
from the polls, the usual number of these
gentlemen had the bravery and courage
to attend the various precincts ia Fayette
county and vote just as they pleased to
do, and no Democrat has been able to re-
port single bayonet line surrounding
the election polls. The attempt to
frighten anybody from the polls by this
bayonet bugaboo about which so much
Democratic eloquence has been expended
has proved to be the merest humbug.

Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-06-11

The Los Angeles and Yuma Dr.
vision OF the Southern Pacific
Railroad, under the superintend-
ence of Col. E. E. Hewitt, has the
euviable distinction Of being man
aged ut smaller expense per mile
than any other railroad division
west of the Rocky mountains. This
fact is the more remarkable when
one considers the difficulties under
which this part OF the road is hap
died, it's remoteness from supplies,
fuel, men, etc. Iu visiting Divis-
lon Headquarters at Los Angeles,
last week, we were struck with the
quiet manner In which the affairs
Of its different departments are
managed. Every thing was in
apple.pie order; no one was work.
Ing or travelling "out Of his gait;"
and no frills or fuss.and feathers
were visible anywhere. Yet IS or
20 trains come and go daily, a num-
Der Of cars were being rebuilt and
reftted, some half.dozen locomo-
tives were having their bowels
taken out and scra ped, and the pen
and-ink work of four separate lines
Of road was being done In the same
Office. The paucity Of employees
makes the work look lonesome,
and the size Of the place dissipates
offensive noises. The pervading
quiet at first gives an idea that the
mechanics think they are working
on Sunday, and are trying to
escape public notice; but this idea
is soon dispelled by the persistent
rapidity with which their work is
turned out. The machinery is
presided over with a lust
pride by Mr.. Velsir, and the wood
and paint work reflects credit on
Mr.. Young. The office work is
taken care Of by Messrs. Smurr,
Lockwood and McCrea. These gen.
tlemen seem to never he nervous
or hurried, and as if their work was
mere recreation; yet the Auditor
never fluids them behindhand. AS
Colonel Hewitt justly remarks, the
economy and system of his divis.
ion are mainly due to the efficiency
OF his assistants. The railroad
yards and repair shops are fascinat.
Ing places to visit. Los Angeles
ought to feel proud Of them. - Yuma
