AN APPEAL.
IOWA.

Dhear me, cruei-hearted thief.
This is my last appeal to you'll
Here read the cause of all my grief, ia
And see the mischief that you do
You took from me my tender heart, t
Though you it could no profit bring
Now mine is but an idle part; a
have no heart for anything.
You robbed me OF my healthful sleep,
To me the night no more brings rest;
Your haunting graces round me sweep
Whene'er my troubled pillows pressed
You stole my appetite away,
Alas can no longer eat;
The dining hours that sweetensd day
Have lost the charm that made them sweet
Give back, give back all these again,
And you I will forever bless;
For me to live with none were vain.
While you can surely live with less
Or II a part you wish to keep,
yield perforce unto your might;
So hold you then my heart and sleep.
But o. return my appetite.

The great decline in thegoil products
of Pennsy lvania, Indiana and ohioain
recent period, and thesfear 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
aof minerals haslong 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 In
dian territory. Experts who have ex-
ploredi these fields declare that in this
region abundant wells of oil and nat,
ural gas, are, struck at depth of two
hundred, feet, and that the deepest
borings do, not GO lower than twelve
h,indred feet. In the PENNSYLVANIA oil
regions theswells must, be- spnkito
depth of eighteen hundred to twenty.
four hundred feet. 1t is, stated, that
ithe oil of the Indian territory is better
for Illuminating purposes than any
other that has yet been discovered. l'''

In other parts of California. companies
have been formed to develop the fields

~ After making all allowances for ex-

lithat this great country contains rich

over all the possible and impossible

STREET IMPROVEMENT
The Beginning OF the End of the Figueron
Street Fight

The Beginning OF the End of the Figueron
Street Fight
For twenty years or more an intermir-
tent war has been carried on among in
dividuals, in the council and in the courts
relative 20 the opening or abandonment
of Figueroa street at its junction with
Sixth, IN order that a large section shut
eff from easy access to the city might be
mads available to the home-builder who
has not been taught to regard the longest
way round as the shortest way home.
The Figueroa street fight has made q
good deal of city history-too much to
detail here, and at best the average clti-
zen directly or indirectly interested is
chiefly concerned with the outcome.
There is a large tract of beautiful build-
ing sites, extending from Pearl street to
Westlake park and from Orange strest to
First street. which has lain idle and prac-
tically unsaleable all these years for lack
of an outlet to Pearl street. The first
step to remedy matters was taken when
it was determined to do rather formid-
abba Job of grading, including all the
streets on the Wooden Mill tract from
Beandry Avenue to Bixel street and from
the southerly line of the tract to Third
street. The land owners and the council
have taken the necessary preliminary
steps. and though the sudden and severe
illncss of the contractor has delayed the
signing of the contract. it is hoped and
beheveu that the matter will be carried
through to prompt completion.
The Figueroa street question will be
then half solved, to be completed by the
opening of Sixth street in accordance
with the petition of johnson and others,
presented at the last meeting of the coun-
Gil. This opening entails some expense,
hut less now than will be the case at any
time hereafter, and sooner or later Sixth
street must be opened from Fremont ave-
nue. straight through to the city limits.
Even if the old Figueroa street were re-
vived and fought through to successful
finish by the council the stretch of land
from Fremont avenue to Crown hill would
still be without practicable outlet. 1t has
been a long fight and at times bitter
one, but a stage has been reached which
gives reasonable grounds for hope That
some of the prettiest territory in the city
limits will come into the market duly
provided with street facilities.

The Observation-Disclosures Cry

The Builder and Contractor has the fol-
lowing appropriate remarks to make
apropos of the fear EXPIRE ssed that Los
Angeles is likely to see more houses built
than can be profitably used.
The absurdity of such cry with rents
advancing! Some general apprehension
exists among certain owners OF property
and certain houses of money that Los
Angeles is being overbuilt, and that as
a result rents are liable to decline and
property to remain vacant.
If these grasping, incredulous ana dis
satisfied people could take the pains to
make round of the real estate offices,
or consult the long columns of advertise
ments in the daily papers they would
discover that the demand for houses at
this time is far In excess of the supply.
Great rows of flats are beginning to APP
pear in the city and the bid for oc-
cupancy by houseless tenants, fills tiles.
almost before they are finished, and rents
have in the past year advanced an aver
age of % per cent and land value has u
many places gone up 100 per cent. The
imme diate cause for this great rise in
land values is the great influx of popula-
ton brought about by the springing up
OF the oil industry.
