The Price of Oil Is Bound to Go
Up Pretty Soon
WELLS ARE PETERlNG OUT
Operators Will Have to Coma to ar
Understanding
Som. of the Allegations OF the Arctic OIL Com.
pa3y of San Francisco Are Being
Repuiiated Here.

Prominent oil men throughout the city
are seriously of the opinion that the pro-
duct, in so far as it pertains to the local
fields, is falling off.
A statement has been published in the
San Francisco papers for which the Arctic
Oil company has assumed responsibility to
the effect that in the deal consummated
few days ago wherein the Arctic people are
to control the best part of the local pro-
duct. 1t is said that this will not result in
better prices for oil. The indications are,
it is alleged, that without any new outlet
the value of the product will be enhanced
by the falling off alone of the wells now
pumped, unless their number is greatly in
creased by development in the near future.
Some operators even go so far as to say
that those DEVELOPMENTS will necessarily
have to be made in a new field in order to
keep oil at anything like the present low
prices.
These gentlemen when asked if it was
really fact that the output from their
own wells was diminishing. admitted that
it was undeniably correct, and that they're
gretted very much that the oil men could
not come TO some understanding among
themselves, whereby oil could be sold for
some thing like it's real worth One dollar
and fifty cents per barrel would be cheap
and these operators feel and realize that
any one of the present consumers of the
Los Angeles oil would not change back to
coal, even il they were obliged to pay 81. rs
per barrel for oil. They agree and believe
that the probable contract price, one year
from date will not be less than 5 80 per
barrel, and more especially. if large guam
titles of the local product were shipped to
San Francisco and consumed there, the
necessity for which they greatly deplored,
deeming it great lose to the city and coun-
ty of Los Angeles and Southern California
generally TO have this cheap fuel consumed
and the benefits realized thereby in San
Francisco. The shipments of Los Angeles
oil to San Francisco, while comparatively
small quantity has been sent there, have
resulted in great benefit to the manufact-
urers and consumers of fuel in that city, ~
the price of coal has been reduced
nearly 80 per cent. thereby, and
by reason of their anticipation of
continued competition by the new Los An
geles oil field. The idea is also conveyed
by the remarks of those interviewed that
the San Francisco consumers are scarcely
| justified in expecting large continuous
shipments of oil from Los Angeles, not
only in consequence of the rapid decline in
| the production, but also the increased con.
sumption of the local product by reason oil
| the building of refineries for the Puente
and Union Oil company's wells and addi
tional local consumers.
1t is argued that under existing circum
stances there is overproduc ton in the oi
territory, giving distant consumers tn,
cream of the supply at losing prices.

"JI5tics" Says That j Id-c Widncy Failed to

The HERALD has correspondent writ
ing under tho mama of Justice who has bo-
fore now directed soma very pleasant re-
marks to Judge r. NJ. Wldney. He
wanted tho judge to reopen the casa OF
Rogerio Rocha and give the Indian n
chance 10 prove his title to the broad acres
in the San Fernando valley from which he
was evicte1. Judge Widney wrote reply
to the communication of "Justice" and
now "Justice" replies to that communion
ton as fo lows:
Judge Widney very artfully tries to shift
the question at issue and have your paper
discuss and weigh the relative Christi an
qualities of Justice AMI himself instead of
whether or not old Royerio has been wro ng-
fully deprived of his lands.
Now it the Eiitor of The HERALD thinks
that the snsral public will be int crested
in knowing the relative qualities o righte.
BUSINESS possessed by Judge Wild ney and
Justice, he is at liberty to reveal m y name.
However, Justice admits that heis a wicked
sinner and has no wish to have hi S many
misdeeds exploited in the papsr if he can
avoid it.
"Wicked, however, as he may be, he is
the source of the suggestion that Ju dye
Wdney give the Indian a chance to show
the merit of his case. Rogerios hands ap-
pear to be clean and his trus mama is
known, and the judge knows whe re to tiud
him if he wants to do the right thing by
him. He and others apparently think that
he had a good title to the land in question
wien he was prevented from sh owing 1t
through trivial mistake of his attorney,
which Judge Widney took advanta ge of.
1T may be deemed adm itted that Jus tice

SHELDON OUT AT LAST
II Took Two Writs of Eia5ess Corpus and 9
Ronh

II Took Two Writs of ia5ess Corpus and a
Bond
:. Ezra Sheldon was yesterday released on
$1,000 bond, furnished by his brother.
Two writs of habeas corpus were sued out
in his behalf, but neither of them were
effective. Sheldon had some trouble with
his wife, Cora, and she had him arrested.
Justice Morrison of Pasadena bound him
over to keep the peace in the sum of $1,000.
Failing to give the bond Sheldon was COM
mitted to Jail.
A writ of habeas corpus was sued out
before Judge Mckinley. The judge held
that the Pasadena Justices writ of COM
mitment was void, but before he gave a
decision the justice amended his writ, and
so Sheldon was held in Jail.
So yesterday Sheldon sued out another
writ of habeas corpus before Judge York.
The judge declined to hear the application
and transferred the matter to Judge Nc
Kinley for adjudication. This settled it..
All further proceedings are now estopped
by Sheldon giving bail.
