OIL WELLS DRYING UP.
Fears That the Supply Win soon He Ex
 hAnSted In tho East.

hausted in the East.
 The great decline in the oil products of Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio in recent period, and the fear that the wells in those states might become ex- hausted before many years, have stimulated actively in the search for new fields. Within the last year in Kansas, Arkansas, southern California, the Indian territory and In various other regions oil wells have been dis covered where the existence of the valuable fluid was never suspected. Much attention has recently been given to the Indian territory, whose wealth of minerals has long been known. On the borders of the Indian reservations In both Kansas and Arkansas rich coal and oil fields have been found; but these are regarded as merely outcrop- pings of the principal fields in the h. dian territory. Experts who have ex- plored these fields declare that in this region abundant wells of oil and nat ural gas are struck at a depth of two hundred feet, and that the deepest borings do not go lower than twelve hundred feet. In the Pennsylvania oil regions the wells must be sunk to depth of eighteen hundred to twenty four hundred feet. 1t is stated that the oil of the Indian territory is better for Illuminating purposes than any other that has yet been discovered.
 The city of Los Angeles, Cal, appears to stand upon an oil field, Us borings made in the heart of that city at half the depth of Pennsylvania sources have yielded rich results Not long ago well was sunk at the intersection of two streets to depth of eight hum dred feet, when the oil flowed out at the rate of eight hundred barrels day. In other parts of California companies have been formed to develop the fields of oil and natural gas, of which the Indications are abundant. The fact that in California much of the land overlying this wealth is prolific In az ricultural products has caused it's greater subterranean value to be over looked But it will not be long until the oil producers derrick shall arise among It's vineyards and corn fields
 After making all allowances for ex- aggeration there remains no doubt that this great country contains rich fields of oil and natural gas that still lie undeveloped. Should the fields of Pennsylvania become wholly exhaust ed there would be no want of petroleum for both home consumption and export. -Phiiadelphia Record

A sEETHING MASS OF FLAMES.
Destruction Of the Temple Opera House in
 Duluth, Minn.

DULUTH, Minn., Oct. 13 At 1915 this morning, an hour after the en- gagement of Daniel Sully's company had been concluded, there was an ex- pIosion in the basement of the Temple opera house, one of the finest theaters in the northwest. In few minutes the whole interior was a seething mas of flames. which shot hundred feet above the roof as soon as they ob- tained an outlet. In half an hour the rear wall fell.
 The building was part of the Ma sonic temple, but a wall separated them. The doors between were closed and the Masonic temple was saved However. the beautiful rooms of the Scottish Rite consistory. which were in the upper part of the theater DOT tion, were destroyed, together with the valuable records and library.

Handled.
 A very self-important little man who gazes at the public buildings with the keen glance of one who has money in- vested in them, and who regards pub- lie officials with the piercing glance which counsels them to earn their money or account for themselves, ap- preached tall man the other day with indignation glistening in his eyes.
 'I demand to know," he said In a firm voice, why l am forced to remain on this side of the street when my business calls me to the other?"
 The policeman looked trifle startled for second or so but recovering him. self, he replied:
 Well, who's lseepin' you from goin'?" '"The traffic, sir; the traffic Of vehicles; yet pedestrians are supposed to have the right of way"
 Well, grutfly responded the officer, "what are you going to do about it?"
 ''I am going to insist on my rights, sir" said the responsible citizen.
 "TAat's easy" said the officer.
 And see that l get them.

 The big policeman looked et him for a moment in quandary, then. seem ing to solve the problem, he said, with a wink in his eye:
 "A safe passage you want, Is itP We'll, you shall have it."
 And, before the responsible citizen could divine his intention, he picked him up, tucked him under his arm and was lodging between the horses heads across the street The little man had not recovered his breath be. fore the bluecoat dropped him on the opposite pavement, and started back again.

-Perl1aps the oldest

Perhaps the oldest thing In prison methods in the always novel west Is the treatment of inmates of the coun- ty jail at Cathlamei, Ore. Three times a day, every day in the week, they are taken out of jail and escorted to the dining-room of one of the several restaurants and hotels in town, and there they take their meals in more comfort and ease than many of the people who have to work for the priv ilege of eating. The keepers of res taurants and hotels refused to make bids for furnishing food to the jail, and this picnic for the prisoners is the result.

 When shown dispatch giving an account of the position taken by Judge Dutlie, Gov.

Clarke was em. bhatie in saying that since Judge Duflie had taken the initiative in the premises. it would be an easy matter to stop the fight. The chief executive of the state could now intervene and preclude the possibility of the affair being pulled of in the city of Hot Springs.

A NEW NAVY FOR China,
The Mission of Captain Web
Der, a Blockade Rum
ner, to England.
He Is Said to Have Been Empowered
to Purchase and Contract
for New Ships.

Quite party of English tourists left for
England last night by way of New York.
Among them were A. G. Marshal, presi-
dent of the Chartered Banks of India,
Australia and China; George Bullough, a
weaver of Lancaster, England, of I'M
limited wealth; r. Mitchell, who is con-
nected with the same firm, and Captain
Vancouver Weber. The entire party ar
rived from the Orient in the last China
steamer and have been "doing" the State
ever since.
Captain Weber was once very well
known here, having been at one time in
command of the steamer Zelandia, ply
ing between here and Australia. This
was many years ago and since then he has
acquired considerable fame abroad.
Most OF the time he has been in English
waters, but last fall he made a most dar-
ing trip, carrying out arms and ammu-
milton to the Chinese during the progress
of the oriental war. He was III command
of big steamer which had been especially
built for the transportation of heavy
ordnance.
She was bought from an English firm by
the Chinese Government, and Captain
Weber was put in charge of her, with
instructions to load and man her. The
vessel was adapted in every particular for
her dangerous mission, except she lacked
speed.
Captain Webber, on this account, felt it
incumbent on him to give japanese men
of-war wide berth. He ran the blockade
of Japan sea without once seeing the
enemy and landed his cargo safely at
Hongkong. The Chinese Government
paid him handsomely for his services, and
it is said that he is now bound for home
on an important mission from China.
Captain Weber was silent as to the
work before him, refusing to talk to news
paper men on the subject. 1t is claimed
by those who talked with him on the
steamer and since he has been in the City
that he has been intrusted with the task
of reorganizing the Chinese navy. He has
been empowered with the authority, it is
said, to purchase ships anu contract for
the construction of new ones.
