WRIGHTS, CAL, July q. - Camp
Roache was formally opened this afternoon
with an address by Hon. A. P. Roache,
master of the State Grange, followed by
other appropriate talks ana musical pro-
gramme. The large audience was enthu-
siastic and all numbers on the programme
were heartily applauded. The interest
exceeded the expectations of the promoters,
and there is no doubt of the success of the
movement.
The opening exercises were held in a
beautiful little spot, completely surrounded
by wall of fir and redwood trees. The
ampitheater which has been prepared for
the gathering presents picture to delight
the eyes of any lover of nature. In front
of the speakers platform, which is covered
with canvas and tastily decorated with
evergreens, are arranged the seats in the
form of semicircle, with here and there
a tree shooting up with branches forming
canopy.
The assemblage was called to order at
o'clock by Chairman E. F. Adams of the
local committee from Highland Grange.
The exercises opened with the singing of
America by the audience, followed by
prayer by Rev. J. w. McLennan. II. W.
Gerard sang "The Village Blacksmith u
after which the chairman in few words
gave the object and scope of the move
ment, with a short history Of the work
done in the past. A beautiful solo was
recdered by Miss Dora Goodsel of Oak
land. Hon. =. Y. Roache followed with
the opening address.
Everything in the universe, without
exception, is governed by cooperative
law" he said. "The basic principle on
which the grange rests is education, word
representing the progress of the age to
which it is related. The importance of
education can only be measured by the re-
suits it achieves, the results so great and
far-reaching that the human mind can but
dimly comprehend their magnitude.
Highland Grange, in opening this camp
of instruction, has solved the problem of
what can be accomplished by efforts of CO.
operation. Here in this school we shall
receive truth without prejudice, law with
out prisons, morality without SANDER,
and a general scientific education"
At the close of Mr.. Reaches address, a
medley was sung by the Baldwin brothers
of this place. Short speeches we're made
by Professor E. a. Ross of Stanford Uni
versity. who will deliver the lectures on
economies; Alfred Holman of the Pacific
Rural Press, and others.
1t was stated that the closing days of the
encampment would be spent at Santa
Cruz, when addresses will be made by
President Jordan of Stanford University !;
Hon. ]. G. Mcguire, on the single tax sys-
tenn; Hon. J. P. Irish and NJ. NJ. Estee, on
the money question. Mr. Irish will de-
fend the gold standard, and Mr.. Estee will
speak for silver.

TACOMA, WASH, July PA hidden

blew out his brains in April, when the dis
covery was at hand, came to light to-day.

that they were for services of detective
in following Marie Wainwright, the act
ress, about the country last year and in
1893. Schulze was an ardent admirer of
Miss Wainwright, On whom he lavished
costly presents. When she was in this
State his private car was at her disposal.

1891. Schulze, who was believed to have
been desperately jealous, had man fol-

SELMA MEN INTERESTED.
Formation of a Company That
Will Put in an EXten-
SiVe Plant.
FLOW OF LUBRICATING OIL.
BY the Most Primitive Methods
Farmers Have Secured Album
dant Supplies.

SELMA, CAL, July "a company is
being formed here for the purpose OF de-
veloping the rich oil beds believed to un-
derly the foothilI land in the Coast Range
owned by Selma people.
Near Coalinga, in the extreme south
western part OF Fresno County, A. Baricau,
a merchant, and Milton McWhorter, a
Methodist evangelist and newspaper man,
who is known throughout the State in con-
nection with the Sunset Irrigation district,
own land in the foothills. A streak of oil
rock crops out on this land. 1t has been
prospected with pick and shovel and such
surface work as could be done with the
most primitive tools. In this way A.
Baricau has secured many gallons of lubri-
eating oil, which comes from nature S
laboratory all ready for use. Many we'll
known farmers in this vicinity have used
it in the past season on their machinery,
and pronounce it superior to the COM
mercial article.
The petroleum, which has been secured
in the same primitive way, is black and
odorous, but burns well, and could be
made available for fuel without refining.
A sample has been sent to the East to be
tested.
Not long ago Mr.. McWhorter was at
pting to refine some of the oil obtained
on his land, when an explosion occurred,
followed by fire, and he lost his house and
contents. Undaunted by this misfortune,
he intends to put up refinery near the
prospect" and proceed with the work OF
development.
In the same vicinity natural gas has
been discovered. A Jet in fissure by the
roadside. accidentally lighted by smok-
er's match, burned for days, weird torch
in a lonely and unfrequented region.
1t is to develop this promising oil pros
pect that the Selma company is being
formed. Captain Barrett, a capitalist who
came from the East a few years ago and
invested in land near Selma, and on which
he has placed some handsome improve
ments, is promoter of mining and other
enterprises.
He has associated with him Ex-Governor
Campbell of Ohio and other prominent
Eastern capitalists. The company, of
which he is the resident manager, has built
dam near old Fort Millerton for the pur-
pose of turning the San Joaquin to secure
the wealth always believed to be hidden
in the sands of the hole at the mouth of
Fine Gold Gulch. The company now pro-
poses to utilize the dam for the purpose of
generating electricity for light and power.
The dam is but twenty-five miles from
Fresno, and the scheme seems feasible
one.
Captain Barrett, Captain McClurg and
W. D. Lagrange, all of whom have had ex-
perience in oil development in the oil
regions of Ohio, recently visited the Baricau
land and were more that satisfied with the
prospect. The company now being formed
includes these gentlemen, together with
other experts and capitalists. A plant
will be procured and two or three expert
mental wells sunk within short time.

WHERE THE LOOT rs CACHED
Bandit BrGdy's Story of the Yoto Er-
press Robbery.


press Robbery.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, July 27.-It is
claimed that Brady has made statement
to the effect that Browning, the man who
was shot by Sheriff Bogard in the Wheat
land train robbery, was one of the men
engaged in the robbery of the Yolo train,
when such large amount of treasure was
obtained.
Brady, it is claimed, declares that per-
sonally he had nothing to do with the rob-
berry, but that Browning confessed the
matter to him, and, furthermore, de-
seribed the locality where the treasure was
secreted, and divulged the identity of the
others engaged with him (Browning) in
the train hold-up.
This information Brady has given to the
detectives, and it is claimed that several
of them left the city to-day on handcar,
after having procured the services of a
surveyor, who accompanied them for tn e
purpose of locating the exact spot OF the
buried thousands.
1t is also claimed that the officers went
provided with tent, as they expect that
it may consume considerable time TO dis
cover the exact location. 1t is said the
other guilty parties will be in durance vile
within twenty-four hours.
The matter has been kept very secret on
the part of the officials, and it is impos-
sible to discover exactly how much of
confession has been made.

scientists assert That o. Bed of Natural
Gas Underlies Santa Barbara.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, July 27.-For
years a curious phenomenon has been OBJ
served in certain district of Santa Bar
bara. In all this region what is known as
"local earthquakes" are of frequent and
constant occurrence, but as little damage
is ever done beyond the jarring of crockery
and splashing of fluids the inhabitants
have come to look upon them with indif-
ference, and it is only lately that any sci
entific theory has been advanced to ac-
count for them.
Men acquainted with such phenomena
now confidently assert that these local
agitations of the earth's surface are in all
probability caused by the pressure of an
immense volume of natural gas, a condi-
ton known to be common in regions
where natural gas has been discovered in
great supply. 1t is urged, not unreason-
ably, that any capitalist who will make the
investment required to sink say to depth
of 1000 feet at most might be richly repaid.
The surrounding formation and the great
deposits of oil and gas in the neigh boring
localities furnish favorable geologic con.
ditions for an inexhaustible supply of
natural gas

WILS0N AT SEATTLE.

D1{slQ Out.


Dying Out.
SEATTLE, WASH, July 2.-United
States Senator John L. Wilson, who was in
this city to-day, said in an interview that
in travelling about the country he had
found less talk about silver, and he be-
lieved the question was dying out. Times
are better and there is more general pros
perity than year ago.
Senator Wilson does not believe that
there will be split in either the Republi-
can or Democratic parties over the silver
question, and believes the Republican
party will not go into the silver issue far
ther than it has already gone. In the mat
ter of Presidential timber the Senator says
there is plenty of it. Mckinley is good
man.. so is Tom Reed, and ex-President
Harrison is one of the ablest statesmen in
the Republican party, while Senator Ali
son is all right. Senator Wilson declares
he has no Presidential preferences He is
now on his annual tour about the State
and left to-day for Skagit County.

fered his note instead. This the company
refused to accept. The insurance company
also alleged that Phinney had misrepre-
sented the condition of his health at the
time of taking out the policy, it being al
legged that he drank intoxicants to excess.
On the other hand, the plaintiff main
tanned that the company had got hold
of Phinney's insurance policy and declared
it forfeited in an underhand manner,
through the representations of the local
manager of the company. The verdict is
in the nature of a surprise to insurance
men, and an appeal will be taken.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, July 27.-Brainard
N. Rowley, member of the State Horti-
cultural Society and publisher of the Cal
ifornia Fruit-grower, presided at meeting
of the State horticulturists yesterday.
A paper by President B. M. Lelong OF
the State Horticultural Society was read
by Secretary Mackson. In it he predicted
that California as State was destined to
become one vast fruit orchard, and that
the production of fruit would be the con-
trolling industry which must eventually
govern the State. For years each grower
had been marketing his fruit independent
of his neighbor.
This had brought many to financial
ruin, but cooperation was now practiced
throughout the State. Our olive, he said
was the purest known, and we raised the
finest almonds, walnuts and raisins in the
world and yet found the product of foreign
countries served at the principal hotels
and used by well-to-do families. Here
was produced the finest of figs, Jams and
iellies, and yet local consumers paid a
higher price for the imported article.
In conclusion President Lelong con-
graduated Santa Rosa upon having So
ciety OF ladies who advocated the absolute
use of homegrown products.
Colonel Mark L. Mcdonald of the State
Board of Horticulture strongly indorsed
Mr.. Lelong's views.
Mr.. Rowley stated that machine had
been put in use by the American Biscuit
Company which allowed it to do away with
the Zante currants and use instead the
seedless Sultana raisin. This company
had bought all of last years sultanas now
on the market and would buy heavily
from next seasons crop. They use, he
said. about 5000 pounds each month.
G. n. Sanborn read a paper on the life
of the peach. Luther Burbank was called
upon for his paper on new fruits and
flowers. He had two new creations with
him and used them in illustration of his
paper.
A general discussion followed. Con-
gresham Barham gave an interesting
talk on fruit legislation and transporta-
ton. L. d. Sweetzer, editor of the So
noma County Farmer, read paper on CO.
operation of fruit growers. President
Hart of the Soncma County Fruit Ex-
change talked briefly on the proper grad
ing of fruit and the necessity of putting up
4 frst-class article, and after discussing
the different methods of cooking dried
fruits the meeting came to an end.

Irrigation Tracts Suffer Because of the

TRAVER, CAL, July 27.-"Where can
we get water to irrigate with?" is a ques-
ton that will soon confront the fruit
growers in the Alta and other irrigation
districts whose bitches are filled from the
waters of Kings River.
The snow on the western slopes of the
Sierras, where the Kings finds its source,
is nearly all melted, and the water is be-
coming low in the river.
This, of course, diminishes the supply in
the irrigating bitches, and in this (Alta)
district the directors have given notice
that the bitches will all be closed after
August 10. If no more water can be pro-
cured after that until the fall rains COM
mence it will have a disastrous effect upon
the younger trees and vines, and what to
do to avert the impending drought is puz-
zling the farmers.
