PETITION FOR THE ELEVATOR
The Court House Lift Very Pc


The Court House Lift Very Poor
Apology
There is petition open in the stuffy
little court house elevator that is en-
phasized by its surroundings. 1t requests
the reader to sign his name to the ap-
pended prayer to the supervisors to en-
large and improve the present apparatus
or put in double well and two cages.
The autograph hunter can find gen.
uine gem collection from the hands OF
the highest local celebrities, if he can
secure the list from the patient, hard
worked veteran who mans the poop-deck
and pulls the rope. They are all there.
from general to orderly and from high
official to the hum blest citizen. Every
one having business in the court house
expects to sign it, realizing its necessity
and at O'Clock 1O5 men had indorsed the
request. Three ladies, Misses Oril! Don.
nell. Muriel Irwin and Mayme Wilkin-
son, have sgned it. and more will do so
today. TIE service has grown to such an
extent that the small. slow and musty
elevator is regarded as a nuisance and an
impediment to progress.

THE SOUTHERN OIL FIELDS
Louis BIankenhorn's Investigation of
the Los Angeles Petroleum
The Salvation Of the Manufacturers on San
Francisco Bay VIII Probably Lie
In the Fuel Product

San Francisco Examiner: Louis Blank.
enhorn, long identified with the petro.
leum interests of Southern California and
now member of the fuel committee OF
the Manufacturers association. has re.
turned from visit to the oil fields OF Lo.
Angeles.
Though great hopes center in the new
coal mines at Corral Hollow and else.
where" he said. sit is probable that the
salvation of the manufacturer on San
Francisco bay will lie in California s
petroleum. The previous annual produc.
tion OF over half a million barrels Of
petroleum has now been increased by the
marvellous development OF the Los An
geles field as much more, and the steady
output of the first wells, as we'll as sue
cessful extension OF the field. seem to
leave no doubt Of the permanency OF the
supply. and compelling the producers to
look to San Francisco for market.
''The present price Of fuel petroleum
delivered IN San Francisco and vicinity
has been reduced to S1.50 per barrel OF
fortytwo gallons by tacit agreement OF
the only parties supplying it. At thi s
prce contracts for periods are being made
by manufacturers and is an attractive
price to producers, though many OF the

which is an equivalent to coal at 81. rs per
ton, not calculating incidental economies
from the use of oil. and leaves no room
for complaint or competition on the score
of cost of power fuel.
''There are now nearly 300, 900 barrels
of crude petroleum stored in Ventura and
Los Angeles counties. Two pipe lines
lead from the wells through Los Angeles
to immense storage tanks on the railroads,
from which tank cars carry it to city
switches or distant points. A pipe line
ten miles long was built from Puente to
Chino specially to supply the great sugar
factory. The Union Oil company of Ven
tura county has twenty miles of main
pipe line with over eighty miles of feed
ers. lead ing to the sea at Ventura, and
the Pacific Coast Oil company is building
forty miles from the Newhall or Pico dis
trict to Ventura. The latter company has
in course of construction at the Union
Iron works an oil steamer OF 6U00 barrels
capacity to transport their own produc-
tion tu their refinery at Alameda, and its
carrying capacity it is reported, will be
available for the oil of other producers OF
Southern California. With an unques-
toned surplus. the Los Angeles men OF
energy have already grapplcd with the
problem cf water transportation to San
Francisco. Either apipe line or tank
cars over four competing railroads insure
cheap transport to the sea at Santa
Monica or San Pedro and thence in barges
at total cost of..20 to 25 cents per barrel. v

SOCIETY SENSATION

A Reported Shortage or 94, 1O6 i'm the
 Accounts of Ex-secretary James O.
 White of NOsahogam Lodge.
 Last week committee representing No sahogan lodge, I. O. O. F. made a state- ment through the evening papers denying rumors that had been afloat for some time regarding the accounts of Secretary James O. White. Even the denial that Mir White had been guilty of anything more than a few clerical errors involving about $50 did not stop the talk. Those who had the most to say were actually members of the lodge and the stories they told the DEMO GRAF were sensational in the extreme.
 The climax was reached on Tuesday evening. when one of the breeziest meet ings in the history of Nosahogan lodge was held. It is reported that members who had not attended lodge meetings for years were present on that night and the ac- counts of the ex-secretary were discussed in detail.
 It was common talk on the streets to-day that there was shortage of $7 ,65S in Mir Whites accounts and that this money had been misappropriated during the past thirty years. It. was also said that MT White had turned over to the lodge $4, ,000, and that the lodge in consideration had de- dided not to prosecute him.
 Several prominent Oddfellows were in- terviewed this morning. Some of them were emphatic in their denial of the charges and alleged that the enemies of MT White were circulating these reports to injure him Others, however, men high in the order, did not hesitate to say that there was a shortage in Secretary Whites accounts amounting to $4,106. Small sums had been taken from time to time. Secretary White when confronted with the facts by the l, dye voluntarily made good the deficiency. Some members, it is said, desired to have compound interest added, which would figure up to the sum of $7, 653. This, however, was not done.
 A prominent member of the lodge speaking of the matter said that the com- plicated state of affairs had been caused through carelessness on Secretary Whites part For many years he had been accus- toned to expend small sums belonging to the lodge for his own private use. His books were kept in 8 very loose manner and he actually did not know himself how his accounts stood until the books had been examined by an expert. Nosahogan lodge has membership of about seven hundred.
