The Elk Fork and Jug pool are
breaking honors even at the pres
ent stage of the game. In point OF
activity the former pool is in the
lead, but the fact that the Jug pool
is just making its advent into the
oleaginous world makes develop
nents in that locality extremely in
, teresting. Our report of yesterday
concerning the Victor Oil and Gas
company's No. 1 Armstrong Smith
at the Jug has been confirmed by
Mr.. 7. c. Wilson who is now at the
we'll. The lowest estimate of its
production is 600 barrels per day.
This is the natural production of
the well and makes the future for
that field still look fattering. /
The South Penn Oil company
had struck the gas ir their Reppart
No. this morning, and had shut
dowu to move back the boiler. This
will cause the well to be delayed,
and its completion will not be ef-
fected before late evening or to-
morrow. The other wells in that
locality are moving along in the
even tenor Of their way, with no
special feature to report: ~
The Elk FORK pool yesterday
placed another very creditable pro-
ducer to her already long list. Treat

The Elk Fork Oil & Gas com

The location of these wells makes
them very important, and there

ANTHRAX.

Anthrax is a severe and usually
fatal tagious disease, characterized
by chills. great depression and stupor
of the animal, and a profound altera-
ton of the blood, due to destruction Of
the red blood corpuscles. 1t is caused
by the admission into the animal body
of bacteria, or low order of living or
ganisms, or their spores, known as the
bacillus of Davaine," or bacillus an
thracis."
1t affects all animals exposed to its
conta gion. The herbivOra are especial
.ly susceptible in the following order:
the sheep, the OK, and the horse. The
Guinea pig, the hob, the rabbit, mice,
and other animals die quickly from
its effects. Man, the dog and other ON
nivora and carnivora may be attacked
by it in a constitutional form as fatal
as in the herbivora, but fortunately, in
some cases, develop from it only local
trouble. followed by recovery. Fowls
may be inoculated and develop the
disease if they are partially immersed
in cold water, to reduce their natural
body temperature from 104 degrees to
about 100 degrees. Frogs may be in

Der 18th. 1898.
DR.. J. Shaw, Honolulu, Hawaiian
Islands.
Dear Doctor:-I have just received a
communication from DR.. Spencer re-
questing me to write to you and en-
closing a letter from you to him, in
which you state that you desire some
Information regarding the prevalence
of Anthrax in this State.
Now, Doctor, 1 am sorry to say we
have considerable anthrax in this
State. in fact nearly all our low lying
and overflow lands along our rivers
are pretty we'll infected with the bacil-
luS anthracis.
do not imagine, however. that you
will experience any difficulty from our
cattle this year, as the entire state is
quarantined by the Federal authori-
ties, TO prevent the spread of Texas
fever. Next spring, however, we ex-
pect to release the northern part Of
| the State from the quarantine estab-
lished by the Federal authorities, then
of course, there would be danger to
| you. as we have no laws with regard
to the importation or expectation OF
diseased live stock. Yet it seems to
me the remedy is in your own hands
as you can insist on importers of stock
| into the Islands from our ports, furn-
ishing you with a certificate of health
from my office, and if YOU did not deem
said certificate sufficient guarantee you
could hold the stock for a specified
time at your port of entry.
| l do not know how long my office
will be in existence, as it all depends
upon whether our Legislature will pro-
vide the necessary funds with which
to carry it on.
| 1 have no reports, etc, to send you
as I have not been in office Ions
enough to compile much in that line
however 1 will be pleased to give yoJ
all the information on this Subjec
matter at my command, at any time
you may wish it.
With best regards. have the honor
to be, yours most sincerely,

San Jose, Cal, Nov. 18th, 1898
| DR.. JOS. r. Shaw, Honolulu, Hawaii
Dear Doctor:-Yours of November
22nd just received, and We hasten to
answer; anthrax and Texas fever have
been very prevalent in some of the
/ northern and most OF the southern
counties Of this State during the sum-
mer months, but have of course with
the approach of winter subsidized;
whether the seeds are sown fer a re-
turn of the maladies next year is yet
10 be determined.
The matter is of such grave import
ance that the Federal Government has
quarantined the entire State against
expectation to other States from Feb
ruary to November of each year; and
our State Board of Health has en-
pIOytd LII. IT, "A. AiCHl OF IiZU
Webster street, Oakland, to gather
data, and they will probably offer for
the consideration of the incoming leg
islature bills making it mandatory for
each county to provide a proper officer
whose duty it shall be to assist in the
eradication of these and pernicious
contagious diseases of live stock; some
of the different counties, like our own,
undertook this, but the enormity of
the matter proved too great for their
courage, and their feet getting cold
they stopped.
If l occupied the position OF inspect
or at your port | should surely quar-
|antine all live stock imported for a
period of at least two weeks after
landing from this coast, and in addi-
ton to that l believe l should confine
one or more native Hawaiian cattle
with them. You will do we'll TO confer
with DR.. Archibald. The pictures and
history Of cases enclosed i'm your let
ter are Enthusiastically those of Purpura,
and not anthrax, we very frequently
have such cases not attended with any
sloughing, in fact the latter condition
seldom exists where there has been
no surgical interference.

CAN'T HOLD HIS CORK

clustering Bill, of Berlin, Stops over.
Bill seems TO have been brewed rather
than born. He came into the world in
a ferment, and he has since done little
else than froth. He cannot contain his
stopper. He is built like a drawn cork.
Whether his umbillical was improperly
tied, or a mistake made as to the con-
tents provided for his head, does not
historically appear, but he has had fits
ever since his birth, and had 'em bad
Were the solid inhabitants of the Ger
man empire less level-headed in their
thoroughbred heredity this tinseled war
lord would have had them plunged into
strife with other nations at least three
times within as many years. His su-
perabundance of ginger is unleavened
with any hard horse sense whatsoever.
Especially has he been rampant ever
since the United States of America
found it necessary to the prosperity of
its own people to pass a protective tariff
measure, without having asked his
consent. This Hohenzollern patriot of
pin-head expansion and grandiose ante
cedents claims partnership with God in
ruling the German empire, and Incl
dentally directing the affairs of the
world. Such idiotic assininity aside his
omniscient partner alone understands
the spread of the vanity, the consist
ency Of tibet gall and the all around
bumptiousness done up in that emper-
or's hide. That the kaiser declared at a
dinner party last week that the United
States should never possess Cuba so
long as he was the emperor of Ger
many, there IS little if any doubt. OF
course he was drunk, but that fact but
the more clearly portrays the real in
sides Of the man. If a German war
ship had been blown to pieces in the
harbor of Havana all Europe couldn't
have afforded sufficient space for the
war dance which the clustering Bill
would have kicked up. In addition to
retaining spurs on his boots. he would
nave hung bells on his crown. and
Whooped it up for all the world to see.

WHEN 1T WILL BE.

When the navy shall have been sub
stantially reinforced and all the forts,
ports, fortresses, arsenals, are on a war
footing, and before there is any call for
men, something is going to happen. 1t
will be one Of three things, either of
which will mean war unless Spain
backs down. An indemnity for the de-
struction of the Maine and for the lives
Of the men destroyed with her, will be
demanded, the rights Of the insurgents
recognized, or otherwise the independ-
ence of Cuba proclaimed. 1t may be
that the official action of the admins
tration will cover all three of these
suppositions. All that has been done in
the last fortnight by the government
at Washington, including the appro-
priation of fifty millions of dollars
looks to war certain with Spain. The
only thing which might prevent it is
our readiness for the contest and
SPANS recognition of that fact. The
first open step will be the action based
on the finding Of the court of inquiry.

WALL STREET AND WAR.

Nor wealth nor poverty cut any figure
In patriotism. Love of country from no
condition comes. It's in the blood OF
the man, not in his pocket or head. Pa
triotism is an impulse nearly related to
parental affection. 1t is a love like that
for the home, Unborn, nor wealth or
education nor poverty have anything
TO do with inspiring it. 1t is a common
cry that the wealth Of the world selfish
ly prevents many wars. 1t is not true.
It has been asserted thousands Of times
within the week that Wall street, be-
cause Of its stocks bonds and other Sc
curfties, will prevent the United States
from going to war with Spain. The
cry is but the toot of the demagogues
horn. So far as Wall street speculation
is concerned there is as much profit in
dealing in securities quoted at fifty
cents as at one hundred cents on the
dollar. A man whose pulse is quicken
ed by patriotic throbs does not stop to
consider the margin that war might
add to or cut from his dollars. AS
great a per cent OF wealthy men as Of
beggars stand ready to make a real
sacrifice for the country which holds
their home and encompasses their ma
tivity. The banker is just as prompt in
his patriotic response as the farmer or
the manufacturer, professor, artizan or
iaborer, Of whatever grades. There was
other day at Waco. Incidentally, in
their discussion Of existing local condi-
tons, the question of war with Spain
was suggested. After the close of the
discussion, which ensued, a set Of reso-
buttons were unanimously passed offer
ing the government all the available
funds in their respective banks, and
without interest. These were not New
England bankers. Every man present
was a southerner, and every man save
one had served in the Confederate
army. AS patriotism knows neither
poverty or wealth, neither does it take
account Of party lines or political ques-
tons. There was no dissenting voice in
the Senate or House in voting a contin-
gency fund of fifty million dollars last
week. The South lost its slaves, its
greatest wealth, in the war of the re-
bellion, but as the sacrifice came Of pa
triotic impulse, as this vast wealth was
lost in a struggle, involving home and
native land, little was ever heard of it
except in the way Of expressed regrets
among themselves. IT, therefore, war
comes, the North and South, East and
West alike will be found at the front
with no lack Of money, munitions or
supplies. In fact, there will be no
North and South, nor rich or poor, in
either acts or in sentiment.

POSTAL BANKS.

At the meeting of the senate commit
tee on postoffices on Wednesday, Sena-
tor Wolcott, chairman of the committee
announced himself as favorable to the
establishment of the postal savings de-
pository system. He had come to this
conclusion after a careful study of the
subject. Senator Wolcott's conversion
from a student to an advocate of the
postal savings system augurs well for
the success of the bill in the senate, of
which body he is an influential men,
Der.
The various postal savings bills be-
fore the senate committee have been
submitted to Secretary Gage for his
opinion upon the investment feature. 1t
is to be hoped that Secretary Gage will
recognize the great public demand for
legislation of this kind and make his re-
port as speedily as may be, In order
to give time at the present session of
congress for the passage of the mea-
sure. The earnest zeal of his cabinet
colleague, Postmaster General Gary,
should also influence Secretary Gage to
consider and dispose of the matter sub
mitted to him at an early date.
