GOING TO THE YORKTOWN.
Commander Stockton Arrives
on the Night Train From
the East.
Brigadier-General r. H. Warfield
Accompanied Him Part of
tho Way.

Commander C. H. Stockton of the United
States navy arrived in the City on last
nights train from the East, accompanied
by rigadier-General R. H. Warfeld. He
is on his way to take charge of the cruiser
Yorktown of the Asiatic station.
The Yorktown is six-gun ship of the
same class as the Bennington. She is now
at Chefoo, on the North China coast.
Commander Stockton came direct from
Newport, where he had been attached on
land duty to the Naval War College as
lecturer for the past four years. He was
in command of the Thetis on this coast
on Puget Sound-four years ago.
He graduated from the old naval college
at Newport thirty years ago, and is one of
the most popular officers in the service
going to Admiral Carpenters squadron
with the best of credentials. Brigadier-
General Warfield happened to be return
ing from the Grand Army Encampnent at
Louisville, and got on the train at Colorado
Springs.
MY going to the Yorktown is purely a
routine change" was the modest way in
which Commander Stockton put it, when
seen at the California Hotel last night
shortly after his arrival.

AS to any plans for the future Com
mander Stockton said that there were
none out OF the ordinary, as far as he
knew. The Yorktown would probably re-

necessary to keep her there since the war,

A NEW LUMBER COMBINE,
Redwood Manufacturers Com
plain They Do Not Make
Living Prices.
A Raise of Two Dollars Per Thou
sand VIII Benefit Employees and
Not Be Felt by Buyers.

The market for redwood lumber has fol
a number of years been in such condition
that owners and manufacturers sold lum-
Der at less than the actual cost of cutting
and milling. There is at present $50 O00,-
600 invested in The business and probably
$4,000 men directly employed in lumber
manufacturing. Four counties OF cali
fornia-Hum boldt, Sonoma, Mendocino
and Del Norte-furnish the entire redwood
supply for the world. 1t is purely a Cali
fornia industry, and the money invested
in it and distributed by it benefits Califor.
MIA alone.
Several lumber firms were interviewed
yesterday with regard to the rumor of a
union of the different lumber manufac-
turing companies. Although none desire
to be quoted nearly all say that such O
movement would be of vast benefit to the
owner, the employees and indirectly to the
State itself. They emphasize the fact tha
no combination in the accepted meaning
of the word is intended. They simply
desire to effect union in order to obtain
living prices.
In answer to the question, "What would
prevent such a consolidation raising prices
to an exorbitant degree?" the answer came
invariably:
"Such a condition of things would be
impossible. The moment redwood lum Der
rises above a reasonable price pine lum-
Der will come into competition and force a
reduction"
The manufacturers claim a raise not to
exceed 81 per thousand is contemplated,
and while this advance would be insignif-
can't to the buyer, the owner and hard
working employees would be greatly bene-
fitted. Last year a union of all but two
firms was effected, but the two were able
to prevent better prices
Several plans have been formulated and
discussed by representatives of the several
companies. The suggestions for the
handling of redwood lumber, submitted by
j. G. Williams of the Mendocino Lumber
Company at meeting of the manufac-
turers of the tour counties, September 4,
have received much favorable criticism
His idea is to divide the total quotas
equally between the northern and south
ern lumber districts, three-ffths of the
market supply being drawn from the
southern and two-tifths from the northern
thus making the proportion of rough and
clear lumber more in conformance to the
market demand. This will necessitate
some of the northern mills to remain idle
to the extent of 100000 or 10000, 900 of
their quotas, but they will be compensated
from the general fund of the company and
will derive the same profit as though run
ming.

LOS ANGELES OIL.
1t Will Probably Be Sent to This City
for Fuel.


for Fuel.
The San Francisco capitalists who are
interested in the Los Angeles Oil Ex-
change expect to begin operations before
very long. The Los Angeles well-owners
sent three men to interest capitalists in q
scheme for the Introduction of crude oil
into this city for fuel purposes. They said
that at least half million dollars would
be required to run a pipe line eighteen or
twenty miles to San Pedro, build oil reser-
voirs at that point and in San Francisco,
and to secure tank steamers to run be-
tween the two places.
An expert was sent to Los Angeles to
examine into the. Oil wells with view of
ascertaining the quality of the oil and the
probabilities of the supply warranting
such an outlay of money.
The expert has recently returned and
has made generally favorable report. He
says that the oil is excellent for heating
but that it is of no account for other pur-
poses. So far as he can determine the
supply is almost without limit. In and
around Los Angeles there are 210 wells and
one "spouting'f well. These yield between
5000 and 1000 gallons daily, but many are

THE HALF-MILLION CLUB.
Director Julian Sonntag Has Sent III
His Resignation.

his resignation.
There was to have been meeting of the
directors of the Half-million Club yester-
day, but there were not enough present to
form a quorum. However, there were
enough present for Director Julian Sonn-
tag to present his resignation as director.
He stated that he was not able to attend to
the work of the club without neglecting
his private business, which he said had
suffered in six weeks to the amount of sew
eral thousand dollars.
The fact is Mr.. Sonntag is not wholly
satisfied with the way the clubs business
is being conducted. He said: sits man
agement is decidedly unbusinesslike 1t
is absurd to ask business men to neglect
their own affairs and go running around
town attending to committee work. In
order to make the club successful its men,
bers should subscribe enough money to
pay for the services of several good, ener-
getic men, who will attend to all of the
business, the same as the Manufacturers
and Producers Asso citation has done.''
