the harbor-edge, its east window sprayed
with foam of the wild northern tempests
which often lash the harbor furiously, was
built in the 16 years between l410 and 1925
on the site of an olden structure, founded
by St Ivo, Persian bishop, who came
over from ireland in the ninth century to
preach the gospel to the Cornish Britons.
Some stone carvings and q most beauti-
full and curious font of the old ST. Two
chapel are still preserved. Perhaps the
auaintest carvings in England are to be
found in the present church. They were the
work of the then village blacksmith, "a
handve and devoute man." who carved the
oak of the benches and choir stalls, not
omitting to carve the forge, the bellows,
hammer and nails, and pincers of his own
sturdy craft He threw in fair supply of
Tudor roses, monks and angels, but, as
Saints Andrew and Peter are appropriate
patrons of the church where countless
thousands of fisher folk have worshiped, the
good smith also put them into every con-
ceivable benefcept attitude, and, as if to
intensity their protection of the town of st.
Ives and its people, also wove fishes, saints
and arabesques into most generous and pro-
fuse relationship.
If these wood carvings are curious studies
some of those in stone are equally outland-

A Highly Elevated Churchyard.
The stranger will be impressed with the
extraordinary elevation of the soil of the
tiny chufchyard. When the place was first
quite filed with the dead, the burial place
was covered over with several feet of sand
and interment went on anew. Three times was
this done; when it was finally found that to
have repeated the process would have been
to bury the church itself, then cemetery
was secured upon the heights.
their simplicity and piety. They are nearly
all fervent Methodists, honest, supersti-
tious, humble and good. They live in as
great comfort as the fisher folk of New

Denver men lucky enough to be in the COM
bine.
The Rocky Mountain Company has heavy
backing and has gone into the business as
though it meant either to stay or to compel
the United to buy it out at q figure large
enough to cause the magnates to feel un-
happy. The first operation after getting
control of wells in the Florence oil field
was to commence building refinery at
Pueblo and pipe line 80 miles long to
connect it with the wells The company
claims that its processes are such that
it makes enough from products
other than oil obtained from the crude petro-
leum to enable it to give its oil away and
make small profit. The equipment Of the
United Company is old style and saves
nothing from the petroleum but the various
kinds of lubricating and Illuminating oils.
Thus the new concern has it on the hip un-
less it changes its refinery, which it gives
no indication of doing The officers decline
to say anything about their intentions or
whether the Standard company proper is
contributing to the expense Of the sport.
ALacl Of Inspection.
There is no State supervision over .pil
and no municipal inspection in Denver. In
consequence, oil which would not be per-
mitted to be sold elsewhere is sold without
uiHuEdnce. 1uc udugef lies mOStly III tne
suburbs, because nearly every one in the
city uses either gas or electricity. Some time
ago lamp exploded and burned woman to
death at Valverde, just south of town. A
local paper procured oil from the grocery at
which she bought her supplies, had it
tested, and found it flashed at $50,
and sailed into the Standard.
The Vice President of the Continental
came to the Office and threatened libel
suit unless retraction was made. The paper
refused to retract and had tests made of oil
bought in all the suburbs. They ran from
800 upward. The Continental has kept
quiet since.
ALI of this, of course, was a big card for
the Rocky Mountain Company, which
claimed that all the low-grade oil was sold
by its enemy, and that it was truly virtu-
Gus. The home industry cry is worked for
all it is worth, and tank wagons bearing pa
triotic notices scour the outskirts to work
up trade. Neither side gives any sign of
weakening; and there is pleasing prospect
of cheap oil continuing for a considerable
period.

WHERE OIL IS CHEAP.
Another War in Colorado Between
the Standard and Its Rivals.
PETROLEUM ALMOST GIVEN AWAY.
Charges That Production Has Been Regularly
Restricted.
LEADING FEATURES OF THE CONFLICT

DENVER. July 4-The Standard Oil CON-
pany and the Rocky Mountain Oil Com
pany have put in about four pleasant
months trying to pulverize one another,
and the price of oil holds so low that the
poorest man has every opportunity'to to blow
himself into the empyrean ether. Big ad-
vertisements announce that ''pure water
white may be had from such and such a
grocery at cents a gallon, while other
cards declare with equal positiveness that
another grocery has the purest of oil at
cents gallon. As matter of fact, retailers
who buy any quantity pay practically moth
ing for their oil.
The Standard Company does not operate
in Colorado under its own name, but the
Continental Oil Company of Denver is
practically branch. The concern, which
handles only the distribution, in turn has
q cast-iron agreement with the United Oil
Company, which controls the production.
The Standard Oil Company has kindly con-
sented to place the Colorado production at
900, 900 barrels, and the United prorates the
little fellows under its thumb and its own
wells so the total is that amount.
Holding Down the Resources.
For many years independent producers
have tried to obtain foothold, but in every
instance until the Rocky Mountain Com
pany took the Geld they were compelled
either to accept the trust price, sell out at
a loss, or close down in sullen anger and
stay closed. On the Western slope of the
great range are extensive fields, most of
which are under control of the Standard
Company, from none of which barrel has
ever been shipped. The systematic holding
down of resources believed to be great
causes the great trust to be heartily exc
Grated by the people in the neighborhood of
the undeveloped fields, but this trife has
never interfered with the digestion Of the
