WESTERN MAN OR BUST.


MORE or less OF presidential
politics was played behind the
scenes at the late Democratic Con-
ventiOn in Illinois. Among the
delegates at that Convention. how
ever, and among the hundreds of
Democrats attending it as inter
eSted spectators. there was Il mark
ed absence of talk aS to the per-
sOnaiity of candidates. The talk
IN that direction was sectional
rather than personal There was
unanimity of opinion on the line
of desirability Of nominating a
Western candidate. Delegates
were not disposed to seriously
consider the claims OF any Eastern
candidate, no matter what his
later professions may be aS to the
necessity of action in the line of
monetary reform. The disposition
was toward diStruSt of that geo

SUNDERLAND OIL WELLS,
A Paying investment to Land
Owners Who Develop the
Product.
Santa Barbara Graduates Addressed
by Rev. Mr.. Forbes-War on
the Woolly Aphis.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, June 30.-The
reports of great yields from the Summer
land oil wells have been exaggerated. A
gentleman, whose interests are in the
Summerland district and who himself has
greatest faith in its future, states that there
is not we'll there that would Weld forty
barrels day, and probably not one that
would yield twenty-five, if subjected to a
thorough test, while the majority will
probably yield from three to ten. At the
same time he acquits any one of having
deliberately made misleading statement,
the fact being that when the wells were
first sunk there were no facilities for test
ing properly and the enthusiasm of owners
and investors carried them away in their
estimates.
The district is in a promising and pros
porous condition. Improved pumping APP
paratus is being fast put in and twenty 70
thirty wells daily are emptied by means of
cables leading from single engine at the
nominal cost of 81 a day to each. One
dollar barrel is realized for the oil, which
finds sure and ready sale, and this means
that a three-barrel well, dug at light ex-
pense, nets its owner 81 a day without any
outlay, assuring steady income of $50
month, or 500 year. Best of all, the
flow is everywhere holding ont admirably,
the tendency being to an increased rather
than a decreased product, and the oil is
finely adapted to use as fuel for manu-
featuring purposes, being employed in the
ice factory, the Arlington laundry and
the macaroni factory in Santa Barbara, i'll
the Summerland soap factory and in
great quantities in the asphalt refining
and reduction works at Carpenteria.
The discovery and development of this
great fuel field is of the greatest i'm
portance to Santa Barbara and surround
ing districts, and its prosperity and useful
ness cannot be lessened by telling the exact
truth abOut If

SOHOMO COUNTY OLIVES.
Production of Oil Fast BeCom-
ing One of the Chief
Resources.
A Guerneville Growers Extensive
Plant, Where an Immense
Crop is Handled.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, June 30.-Near
Guerneville and on the Forestville road, is
the largest olive orchard in Sonoma County,
and probably one of the largest in the
State. 1t is owned by DR.. Prosek. There
is 100 acres of orchard with $500 trees, all
in bearing. The crop last year was ten
tons, and this year will be about thirty
tons.
DIR. Prosek built the first olive mill in
Sonoma County in 1894. The building is
forty feet wide and sixty feet long, with an
engine house 14x20. An eight-horse power
engine generates the pressure.
Immediately On picking, the olives are
put into a novel crusher, the first OF the
kind in the State In the crusher are two
granite wheels which weigh 1900 pounds
each. and revolve on a fat granite slab.
The wheels are reversible, and can be
raised or lowered according to the size of
the olive. Latest improved Scrapers, which
keep the paste under the wheels, haveisup-
planted much work in that operation, an
arrangement has been made whereby 1T
empties itself by two or three revolutions
of the Wheel The crusher has capacity
OF two or three tons daily, both first and
second grinding.
A hydraulic press receives the paste and
| the Juice that comes out goes into separ-
| ator, which separates the oil from the
water of the vegetation. When settled
| and clear the oil is filtered and bottled and
| is then ready for market.
| Last year was disastrous one for olives
and vet the output of oil was $50 gallons.
DR.. Prosek has in his grove thirty-fve
different varieties of olives and will bud
from those that do best in the locality.
The earliest and best bearers are the
Nevadello Blanco, Rubea and Manzanillo,
while the Polymorpha produces the largest
olive and the best for packing. Successful
olive-packers always keep their methods a
secret and after experimenting for foul
wears DR.. Prosek has discovered the secret
and this year he will pack large quantities
| of his olives.
The time is coming when the production
| of olive oil will be a chief factor in the
| progress of Sonoma County.

ROBBED OF HIS SAVINGS,

a Traveller From San
Bernardino,
MoneyH Had Spent Years In Accu-
mulating FiIched by Supposed
Friends.

CHICAGO, ILLs: June 30.-Tears flowed
down the sunburned cheeks of Paul
Fischer of San .Bernardino, Cal, to-day as
he told Captain Koch of the Harrison
street station how he lost $3.50 in gold coin
that he had worked hard for as a section
hand on a railroad.
Fischer arrived lin Chicago this morning.
He was on his way to his old home in
Pennsylvania where he expected to nav
off a mortgage on the home OF his aged
parents. Fischer said he was met at the
Rock Island depot by a German, who
asked him if he wanted to go to a good
clearinghouse.
The man seemed to be honest, and, as he
spoke Fischer's tongue fiuentiy, Fischer
accompanied him to 1OS Sherman street.
There he paid for a weeks board in adj
vance and had dinner.
Fischer said he had $3.50 in gold. 1t was
too heavy for him to carry around. in his
pockets and he placed it in his satchel.
The satchel he carried to his room and
left there. Fischer said that the man
who brought him TO the hotel and another
man asked him to take walk. He did
so. The German he met at the denot ex-
cused himself and departed. When
Fischer returned to the hotel he found his
money gone. He had worked at 81 25 a
day and was several years saving the
amount he lost.

"What message" asked DR.. Lacey, ''has

What light can Christianity she'd on the

for work on conditions prescribed by a

right TO make a contract for himself at

OF each individual man to do as he will.

MEXICO AND MEXIOANS.
Rev. James Eaton at the First Congre-
gational Church.


The lecture given by Rev. James d.
Eaton at the First Congregational Church
last night on "Mexico and the Mexicans'
was listened to by most appreciative
audience.
Mr. Eaton is, missionary attached to
the board of the Congregational church
of the United States and has been living
in Chihuahua, Mex, for some years.
His opening remark was. do not bear
false witness against thy neighbor."
He called attention to the fact that while
Mexico is connected by rail with this
country, and is only five days distance
from New York, it is so far behind the
modern era as to show traits equiva-
lent to paganism.
It's foreign aspect like primitive Persia,
the use of the scourge, cruel chain-like
instrument of torture; the crude system
of mining; the entire absence of educa-
ton among the lower classes, make it a
country of darkness.
While having Government resem bling
on the surface that of the United States it
is in reality monarchy, yet one where a
man, progressive and broad minded, up
held by minority of the country's popu-
lation by means of education and military
power. is bringing light and prosperity to
the nation.
Mr.. Eaton is a pleasing speaker and had
the attention of every one to the end.
