Anyone who takes look at Beaver
county's Jail, with its two,foot corridor
aud strap iron cage, either on July or
January day, will admit that in the
cause of common humanity, as we'll as
for safety, the county ought TO have a
better building aud better cell. The
heat in The Jail these days is simply iu>
sutierable, and the sheriff is compelled
70 let the prisoners out into the yard in
the heat Of the day TO keep them from
roasting. The place is very unhealthy,
aud il would be impossible to keep
four or five prisoners in il any length of

TO drill to so great a depth. On the left
hand side Is the line of disturbance on
Burlington street between Court and
Temple. Here is shown the out crop of
the oil sands. This is the position of the
last well put down by Mr.. Garbutt near
the corner of First and Union avenue.
This well is the farthcst west of any
productive we'll in the district. In this
well the oil sand was struck at a depth
of about S55 feet, which shows thai, at
this end of the field, the angle of the dip
of the oil sand must be about So degrees.
This angle is very nearly that Of the dip
of the formation near Mr.. Garbutt's

Sca1e Insects

One of the bulletins recently issued by
the agricultural experiment station, at
Tucson, Ariz., is of unusual interest to
scientists. as it deals in thorough and
comprehensive way with scale insects
that have become such pests, not only
upon the Pacific coast but throughout
all the fruit regions of the country. Pro-
fessor Toumeny, the author of the 5ulle-
tin, made a careful study of these pests
in Arizona, and not only found that
many of those known to science are
present in the territory, but he discover
ed six entirely new species. None of
these new species, however, are known
to be injurious to cultivated plants.
The old or better known species de-
scribed in this bulletin are the San Jose
scale, date palm scale, California red
scale California black scale, Usage or
ange or Frosted" scale and rose scale.
Besides the description there is given an
account of the distribution of each in
Arizona and the best methods of conf
batting them. Several species not of
economic value are also described. The
bulletin is No. IA of the series issued
by the station, and it, and all others is
sued are sent free to all residents Of
Arizona writing for them to the director
of the experiment station. Tucson.

said that to the westward the oil field
may be limited by the line of disturbance
which we have previously referred TO
as extending from the corner of First
and Vermont to Quebeo street Three
wells have been sunk a short distance
south of that line of disturbance. One
is south of First street and west OF AL
VaradO.
Another is the old Dryden we'll, which
is about 1000 feet northwest of the Union
Oil company's well. A third well was
drilled south of First street, and near
what would be Reno street if it was
graded. In these wells little heavy oil
was obtained and much water was en-
countered. They were abandoned.
On the Mailman tract, however, also
south of this line of disturbance. there
are nine wells varying from 140 feet to
2S5 feet in depth, each of which can be
made to yield something less than two
barrels of very heavy oil daily by pump
ing, and one of the wells flows slightly
In all the deeper wells water was en-
countered. On the creek which flows
through the Mailman tract there is
more extensive exposure of bituminouS
rock than anywhere else around Los
Angeles. A short distance southwest
of Ward and Vermont streets forma-
tion is exposed which resembles the
sandy and clayey formations pene-
trated at Second street park. This for
nation overlies a series of bituminous
sandstones which show a thickness of
about 500 feet, although the broad out
crop resulting from the slight angle at
which the sandstones dip conveys the
idea that they are thicker. Continuing
up the creek across the line of disturb
ance previously noted, soft bituminous
sandstones are again met with, but the
rock exposures are insufficient to indi-
cate the dip of the formation. These
sandstones much resemble the soft oil
sand seen on Burlington street. Follow
ine along First street towards Second
street park, the few rocks exposed show
peculiar horizontality of stratification
in formations, which, at no great ds-
tance, are uptilted at a considera BILE
angle. This is indicative of faults, and
faults in such u location might admit
water into the sandy strata.
That such is the case is borne out by
the well sunk by Mr. Doheny a short
distance south of First street between
Newhall and Alvarado, where, | am
told, that a small amount of heavy oil
was obtained, and water was encoun-
tered.
Granting that the sand cropping out
on Burlington street is really the oil
sand, this west we'll of Doheny & Cos
must be situated nearly on the outcrop
Of the sand.
From the foregoing it will appear that
the outlook to the westward does not
seem very encouraging. although it

Further eastward the discrepancy in

marked The probable explanation cf
this discrepancy is that lower forma-

\EIith a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts--gentle eefforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated 'ondi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact. that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa'
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
dand gives most general satisfaction.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct |. - Mrs. M. G.
White, of Germantown, held II pad over n
cut in her 4-ycar-old boys mouth for
sevcnty-two hours to prevent him from
bleeding to death. The cut was slight
one, but physicians could not stop the
bleeding, and it was decided that the only
way to save the child life was to hold n
pad over the cut until tho wound healed.
The mother promptly volunteered, and
the pad was prepared. For three long
days and nights Mrs White held the pad
against the roof of her child s mouth. He
was kept alive on liquid food, and Mrs.
White was fed by her mother. At times
she held little Rex on her lap until uncon-
trollable WEAKNESS compelled her to put
him down. But whether in her lap or on
the bed she never relaxed her hold for
moment At the end of seyenty-two hours
her labors were rewarded, and the wound
was found to be healed. Medical men say
that there are few such examples of en-
duranco and devotion in the annals of the

The Storm at virginIa's Capital.

RICHMOND, Oct. 1.-The most severe
storm in the history of this city was ex-
perienced here Tuesday night and streets
and parks are strewed with debris The
loss of property will reach u considerable
figure, but fortunately there was no loss
Of life. All Of the higher buildings in tho
city are more or less damaged and churches
were injured in various ways. The most
serious work of the storm wns Mt the Sec
ond Baptist church, where an immense
steeple was toppled across the street, and
also at the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation. During the fury of the gale u
section of the stccplc of Broad Street Meth
odist church also toppled into the street.
Reports from suburban towns, particu-
larly Manchester, show that much dam
aye to property resulted.
