AVILA ESTATE COMP
James M0renO's Statement RegH,,m
the Incorporation
All the noney Needed to Prosecute the
Case, 1t Is Said, Is Put Up
In San Francisco

The Herald recently published among
its dispatches ons from San Francisco
relating to the incorporation of the Avila
Estate company. The dispatch itself
was preceded by the views OF ex-Mayor
Thomas Il. Rowan upon the subject mat
tel. Mr.. Rowan did not pretend to
''know it ALL" neither did he assume
the character OF an authority or dictator
upon the contents of the dispatch. He
simply gave replies to the questions of
reporter for this paper, adding such other
information as he believed to pc correct
only this and nothing more. Yester-
day James Moreno. brother of rorfirlo
Moreno, one of the directors of the Avila
Estate com pany, said, as reported in an
eyening paper, that the statements made
b Y ex-Mayor Rowan regarding the estate
were entirely false.
1--WE don't claim that Asencion Avila
Sanchez was the legal wife of Pho Pico,
and we never did. We do claim, how
ever. that the two daughters, Griselda
and Joaquina Plco. were her children
and that Pho Pico was their father. Both
of these children were born after the
death of Sanchez, the husband of Ascen-
con Avila, and we have thousands of
ways of proving that she was the mother.
both by letters from Pho Pico himself
and other sources. If Mr.. Rowan really
knows su much about this matter, we are
glad to know 1t, and at the proper time
will be only too glad to place him. .on the
witness stand and hear what ne has to
say, but we don't want him going around
making false statements. All the
money we want to prosecute our case IS
already put up in San Francisco and we
intend to push the case through"

A new tank is being erected at Mrs.

Wells are being put down to q greater

result drilling is more difficult. Most of

A pumping plant will soon be put up at

IL is reported around the field that oil
has been found two miles west of Belmont
avenue and that a number of wells will
soon be drilled there.
The pumping of oil is not 80 actively
carried on al present as it was short
time back, owing to the low price paid for
the product. There is abundant storage
