OIL BOOM.
Expected Near Bakersfield, Call
fOrnia


fornia.
An oil land transaction involving
S55. 900 was contaminated here today
says Bakersfield dispatch. Ed
Doheney, oil expert for the Santa Fe
company and A. B. Butler OF Fresno
show up in the transaction. 1t is re-
ported that other heavy capitalists and
Oilmen are in the deal. The land pur-
chased is sixty-fve acres on Lone
place, six miles from town, up the
Kern river.
About three months ago the Elwood
Bros of Fresno county came here and
leased the land from Means and, with
what spare cash they could raise, sunk
. we'll about $50 feet deepen the land.
They went through 200 feet OF oil sand,
it is claimed. The we'll was finished q
few days ago, but the casing was not
perforated to let the oil flow. This was
postponed for the reason that they
were negotiating q sale of the lease.
Today the sale was made and the land
purchased of Means. The ElwoOds got
$40, 900 for the lease and Means S15, 600
for the land. The land is on the north
side of the river. Means has other
Op the east side of the river.
The Elwoods and Means are poor
meu and the money received put them
on velvet. It is rumored that another
poor rancher, whose property adjo1ns
that of Means, also made a big deal.
Numerous heavy capitalists visited
here during the past month and all
act mysteriously.
The Santa Fe people have gone to
Sunset. district forty miles west, to
investigate. It ia said to be promis-
ing field. A big oil boom is on and de-
velopment is going ahead.

The July statement of the Santa Fe
road shows half million increase in
the net income from operation. Con-
trary to current report, there was q
decrease in operating expenses for the
month. This fact is one of the minor
encouraging features of the first
months business of the fiscal year, and
is all the more remarkable because of
the large expenditures for betterment

President Ripley Gives Date of San.

FIcSluCus 1ebPACy OitCS INV VI SeAAs
ia Fe's First Coast Train.
President Ripley of the Santa Fee,
who has just returned from an inspec-
ton of the San Joaquin Valley road,
states that the Santa Fe will probably
not enter San Francisco before January
L. It was at first thought that the
road would be completed by Septem Der
l, and later November l and December
1 were named respec lively as the dates
of the Santa Fe entrance. But Mr..
Ripley says there is much work to be
done yet. and 1t is his opinion that the
Santa Fe will not be running trains
from Chicago to the Pacific coast over
its own tracks before the first of the
year.
The completion of the new road will
be made q matter Of ceremony, and
President Ripley will be present to
drive the last spike.
Mr.. Ripley affirmed the statements
already printed that an additional
train would be provided as soon as the
new line was opened. He said this
would mot interfere with the limited
train service insugursted three years
ago, and that the limited trains would
be run as often each week as the travel
demanded Topeka Journal.

Favor Local Committees.

A circular has been addressed by
the chief of the Santa Fee freight traf-
fic department to all subordinate off,
Gals on the maintenance of rates. The
folio wing Is an extract:
"Under present conditions, prOhi-
bised as we are by law from forming
associations, about all that can be &C.
com plished in this direction is by free
and frank discussion of the situation by
the representatives of the different
roads, and all that has been accom-
plishsd In this direction in the last
elk months has been brought about by
this means. Numerous cases have
representatives have, by such
conferences, been able to accomplish
important results where the
higher traffic officials had failed, and
believe if entered into in the proper
spirit by all of the lines. that there is
no means which promises better results
than committees made up OF the local
tatives at the various points.
1 feel very strongly on this subject, and
this letter is written to suggest that
you talk the matter over with the re-
of other lines, and where
ever such committees are not in effect
to-day, or where they are not operative
and accomplishing the best results,
that you see what can be done in this
If you find any indisposi-
tion on the part of any of the lines to
CO operate in this direction, and will
advise me, shall be glad to take it up
with the proper officials of such roads.
II hope that there are none of our
men who are not ambitious for promo
ton and feel that they are in line for
better positions when vacancies offer,
aud the results shown by the men in
their present positions will, of course,
determine their fitness for such promo
ton.
I'VE all realize that rate cutting is
fast becoming unpopular, that the time
will come when the men charged with
the administration of large properties
will have no use for man with such a
reputation. am strongly of the opin-
ion that many of US will live to see the
day when it will be as difficult to Sc
cur5 a concession from tariff rate in
this country as it is in England today"

iTHE WRECK OF TRAIN THREE.

There WAS big railroad wreck
at Petroleum, out on the b. & o..
last Wednesday. Fast train No. 3
west. which passes Tunnelton about
eight o'clock in the morning, was
twenty minutes late and running
at the rate of sky miles AN hour,
in order to get into Parkersourg on
time. At the switch in Petroleum
tho pony truck jumped the shave
rail and headed the train into the
side track, from which the engine
jumped and went over an embauk-
ment, instantly killing the engi-
neer, Billy Myers. OF Grafton. The
tender was smashed, but the fire
man escaped injury. The postal
car went over the bank with three
postal clerks aud lot of mail in it.,
the front end sticking IN the mud
with the contents all in pile in
that end, but the clerks dug out OF
the pile Of mail sacks unhurt. The
two express cars also went over the
bank, one on end and the other on
its side. There was an express
messenger in each car, aud Baggage
Master Keller and Capt. Sim Tay-
Tor, the conductor, in the baggage
car. The smoker and the day
coach were overturned, while the
two sleepers remained on the track
and out of 11S passengers, no one
was hurt, aud none of the train
men to amount to much, except
the engineer, VIII o WAS killed.

of 62 cents. When Mr.. Brown
went out of Office and the transfer
was being made it WAS discovered
that the accounts were CO cents out

at Washington has since found out
that this was due to a clerical error,

OUR OCTOBER WEATHER
According TO tho Forecast OF Hicks
The Great PrOgnOsticatOr.

From about the 2nd to 4th look
for warm wave TO pass eastwaIdly
over the country. with fluctuaL-
ing falling barometer, ending pro.
gressiyely IN storms OF ram, wind
and thunder, with early snow to
west and north very probable. and
high nortwesterly gales bringing
up the rear aud causing very sharp
and sudden change to colder. The
Mercury period being central on
the 4th. with Venus, Earth and
Mars combining, all interests likely
to be damaged by violent, autum-
nal storms and changes, should be
well guarded. Heavy Sleet is
probable during the first two storm
periods OF the month In central
and northern sections.
The second regular storm period
for October is from 9Th 10 18th.
Moon being at extreme south
defamation and first quarter, this
period will break up, after low
barometer, high temperature and
storms OF rain, wind and thunder,
with cold sweeping gales from the
northwest. A decided change to
warmer will set in on the 18th,
Moon being on celestial equator
and at per;gee on that day. The
barometer will fall rapidly at the
same time, resulting first in electri-
cal storms, then changing to cold
rains with probable sleet and snow
northward, from about the 10Th
to the 18th. A sharp cold wave
with frost and freezing will bring
up the rear of these disturbances,
change to colder, with probable
sleet and snow beginning early in
the period westward, following up
closely as storm centers pass east
ward.
About the Goth to 23rd a change
to warmer, with general return to
storm conditions, will pass from
west to east over the country.
Moon is at greatest north declina-
ton on the 22nd, hence wind cur
rents will likely be warm and
southerly during most of tins
period, but change to much colder
will follow from about the 23rd
to &c.
A reactiouary disturbance is cen
trial, with Moon at last quarter and
apogee, on the 26th and 9th.
This will bring higher temperature,
falling barometer and more rain or
snow. These disturbances will
likely be protracted until Moon
passes south of the celestial equa-
tor on the goth, on and about
which date, thunder storms will
occur, ending suddenly in sweep
ing winds from north west, high
| barometer and cold wave.

Will American women never
learn any sense? One would suppose
that the unhappy marriage OF
Nellie Grant Sartoris would have
lasted the Grant family for several
generations at least. But no, Miss
Julia Dent Grant, neice Of Mrs.
Sartoris, was on the 25th OF this
month married to a Russian noble,
and her LroBseau is said TO be the
most magnificent ono ever made in
France, and the Russian colors not
the American, predominant in
all Of her wedding gowns. Whas
would or could plain old General
Grant say after letting his own
daughter commence the foreign
alliance business when she was
only ~ years old and when he
vas President Of the u nited States
or America, but then the present
Miss Grant had the benefit Of her
aunCs sad experience. "What
fools some American women are, 4"
"but the Americans as race love
