troleum, large now, will be enormously
Increased in the next three or four years.
We have only to go energetically to
work to secure natural gss in any guam
tity desired. This is the judgment of
experienced Pennsylvania oil men.
There are asdozen places in the immedi-
ate neighborhood of Los Angeles where
it wells up out Of the ground. When we
want it we can have it.
But what, more than all else, will
give the new boom its vitality, is the
gala era of production that has set in
everywhere about Southern California,
and especially in the vicinity of the
splendid city which is being rapidly
evolved in the valley of Los Angeles. 1t
embraces nearly every staple of value
on earth. AS Judge Chandler said to a
reporter of the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, in the east it requires thirty acres
to furnish a carload to railway, while
here some single acres will furnish three
carloads. We have at last realized our
primacy in production, and have started
in to win, and the returns already ex-
cite the wonder of the world.
Where will it all end? 1t will have
no ending. A continuous series of agri-
cultural and horticultural marvels will
keep the curiosity of all mankind piqued
to the point of intense interest, and
each decade will dwarf the achievements
of its predecessor. AS the HERALD has
always contended, this is the eclectic
spot of earth, and what would sound
like hyperbole elsewhere is but pro-
sale record of things accomplished and a
faint anticipation of things to come.

SUPERVISOR DAVIS had a lot of rot in
the Evening Express of yesterday con-
cerning the attitude of the Taxpayers
Protective union. In the course of this
twaddle he says:
The bungle about the advertisement
was by the HERALD and not by u.s.
The HERALD published the advertise
nent but did not publish it sufficient
length of time, not the time they were
paid to do or that they swore they did
do when they presented their demand.
Yet they have the effrontery to charge
us with error.
Ii Mr.. Davis said to a reporter of the
Express that the HERALD bungled the
advertisement of the board, or that any
body connected, with the HERALD swore
to anything in the premises that was
not true, Mr.. Davis lies. The advertise
ment referred to was published on the
18th of July and ran to the 1st of Sep
tember, both inclusive, precisely the
time ordered by the board. In his
rambling chatter Mr.. Davis says this
bill was paid. If it was not right, why
was it paid? Why was this journal

HON. G. F. EDNIUNDS. Benton, of Missou-
ri, who served for thirty years without
break. No other senator in American his
tory has advocated more measures which
succeeded or fewer that failed than Mr.. ed
munds
He kept his secret well. There was no
more talk of his retirement than of any
others when his letter to Governor Carroll
S. Page, of Vermont, appeared. He gave
as cause Considerations entirely per-
sonal," and INDUCED in brief, dignifled
sentence of thanks to Vermont and one OF
farewell to the senate.
George Franklin Edmunds was born in
Richmond, Vt, Feb. !, 1928, and after
common school education studied law and
was admitted to practice in 1S49 His home
has ever since been at Burlington. From
1854 to 1859 he was Il representative in the
Vermont legislature, being speaker of the
house for the last three years. In 1862
he was member of the state senate. In
March, 1866, he was named by the governor
to fill the vacancy in the United States
senate caused by the death of Senator
Foote and took his seat on the 9Th of April.
Thereafter he was elected five times, and
his last term would have extended to
March 3, 1898.

SUPERVISOR DAVIS has much to say
about Mr.. Edgar Moore in connection
with his remarks about the Taxpayers
Protective association. He asserts,
amongst other things, that that gentle
man forced his services upon the associ-
alton. We are informed that exactly
the contrary is the case, and that Mr..
Moore was importuned by the associa-
tion to do the good work that has been
outlined for him. He is out of the city
today, but will be home tomorrow, and
will doubtless have something to say
concerning Mr.. Davis's allegations and
will defy the alligator. By the way, the
membership Of the Taxpayers Protec-
tive association ought to be largely in
creased. All good citizens ought to get
into it. There's money in their purses
in this movement. Drop :into line, oh
ye sorely bedeviled putters-up of munic-
ipal coin.

THE petroleum interests of Southern
California are advancing at very graft
flying rate. Few people know the giant
proportions which production and con-
sumption of oil have already attained
hereabouts. The city of Los Angeles
alone, from two districts, the Sespe and
Santa Paula, took fourteen thousand
barrels of oil last month, to be used as
fuel. These large figures take no ac-
count of half dozen other districts as
to which we have no statistics. The
Ventura oil fields are attaining great
prominence. A new district, called the
DEVILS Gate, will shortly be heard from.
1t is said to be the most pro-
life oil field yet discovered. In
our calculations as to cheap fuel for
the future we ought to keep weather
eye on petroleum. Our wells will shortly
reach the magnitude of those of Penn
sylvania, if both geologists and practical
experts can be relied upon.

asked to say nothing about the blunder
in ordering the advertisement? We
were informed at the time, and believe,
that the Cleveland parties offered
premium of Eve per cent for the bonds.
Davis evidently wants Smith to get that
$4,000 commission for negotiating-God
save the mark-thcse bonds. If any
such attempt Is made to swindle the
people of this county the HERALD rec
ommends riot, and lively one. If
officials who are elected to serve the
people betray them openly and con-
sciously, some form of rude, effective
justice ought TO be resorted to.

the war closed but brought up his son as
Frenchman. and at the age of eighteen
his grandson left Moscow to serve his legal
term in the French army.
There he amused himself and comrades
by drawing free and often satirical sketches
of the officers, quarters, etc, and as it
was not best the bold artist should be
known, these sketches were simply marked
"Caran Ache" In time, however, they at
tracted the attention of artists, and when
Edward Detaille saw them he promptly
sought the youth and urged him to give up
all else for art. He is now overwhelmed
with requests for work, and does much for
the English and American papers. His
greatest ambition is to make the French
comics at once as lively rs the best, and as
pure in moral tone as; the English. His
home at Passy, near the Bois de Boulogne,
is perfect museum of oddities, including
the military gear of all the nations.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the Ex-
press. cannot see how it would be a
highly original thing in Sarah Bernhardt
to initiate in the nineteenth century
what the Lady Godiva did several cen
turies ago under different conditions.
Perhaps, according to the Express
stickler, it, would not be an original de-
parture for the divine Sarah to appear
on the streets decorated only with the
fig-leaf of Mother Eve. Well, most
people would regard it as rather or
iginal proceeding, and we are really
sorry if the Express cannot fall into line
and look at it in that way.

ITALY has determined to show that
she is offended. A telegram from Rome,
which appears elsewhere, announces
that the Italian government will not be
officially represented at the Columbian
exposition. This, it is said, arises from
motives of economy. 1t is added that
Italy was not officially represented at
the Paris exposition, so that the United
States cannot be expected to take
offence at this non-sympathetica attitude
of the Italian government. Brother
