to Chicago some six months ago for
treatment and went into the Presby-

its Medical staff some of the most emil
nent specialists in their various lines.
After leaving that hospital he went to
the Chicago Homeopathic Hospital
where he staid two months. He arriv-
ed here last week and is now on the
way to permanent recovery.
The winner of the State Anti-Saloo1
League silver medal was Miss Oracle
Thomas. The contest held last Friday
night was quite we'll lattendedand much
interest was shown as the contest
ants took their seats on the platform,
and as they delivered the selections.
Miss Thomas was easily the winner
as the audience thought and when the
three judges, who had been seated in
different parts of the church compared
markings they corresponded through
out, giving Miss Thomas the unanimous
vote. The ones who did not receive
the medal were disappointed but recog-
nize the superior ability of Miss
Thomas and are, reconciled to the
defeat.

Things were not particularly bright for
the colonial armies on the first anniyer-
sary Of the declaration Of independence.
The soldiers at Morristown heights. how
ever, under Washington's command each
received an extra gill Of rum with his
ration in recognition Of the day. The
third anniversary Of the signing Of the
declaration was made memorable by the
issuing of an order By the commander

Perhaps the most enthusiastic and
heartfelt celebrations Of Independence
day did not take place on the day itself.
News Travelled slowly In the year 1776,
and 1t was some days before New York
knew that the country had been declared
free. When the pleasing information did
reach there, however, the town went
Wild. The kings statue was pulled down
and melted up into bullets for the Ameri.
can armies. Two or three days after
New York had given vent to It's enthusi-
astic feelings Boston celebrated. A Brit

the hub at the time wrote an account Of
the rejoicings Of the ''deluded people"
He was escorted by band OF pntriots

were held regularly in all places. Dinners

Oil IN CALIFORNIA.
An Interview with well Known OF
Expert.

An Intervisw with Well Kncwn OH
(, Expert.
A wsll.known oil expert has the fol.
lowing to say about the California oil
industry:
The oil production Of California 10
now about $500, 900 barrels annually.
This output IL being increased very
materially each month by the product
OF the new wells drilled TO oil In the
different districts.
The question most frequently asked
me, especially by capitalists and those
interested or likely 20 be interested ia
oil investments IL; .'Is there not q
possibility of overproduction OF oil In
Californian
| There are two main belts extending
through the state, located on the east
ern and western shores Of ancient, pre-
historic soas. One Of these produces q
black aud essentially fuel oil, and the
other green or gas oil.
The black or heavy oil makes an
ideal fuel as has been proven by 20
years Of experience In Russia and In
this country.
In using oil a. fuel IL IL necessary
to exercise considerable judgment, and
to know what kind OF oil as we'll as
what kind OF a burner to use.
Tho two oils. the black and the
green, lio almost In two parallel bolts
In California extending on the west
side OF tho San joaquin valley and run-
ming north and south into northern and
southern California. There IL likewise
q similar condition ON tho east side OF
the San joaquin more or less In evi.
denco MS is shown by tho outcroppings
and geological formation. The cast
side OF the valley. however, has not yet
been prospected for oil as has the west
side, whore developments have already
been, and where by far the largest
amount OF tho oil output Of California
Is ut present obtained.
Ii Ia true that many far.seeing capi-
talists have entered into the oil bust.
ness and have reaped rich financial ro-
turns already. others have been too
conservative and are losing cpportuni.
ties which are fast being taken up by
Eastern capitalists, who are;rapidly ap.
preciating the chance California gives
for Investments.
Many wells are now under way, and
new derrioks are going up on every side.
and am satisfied that many OF these
new oil enterprises will DO wonderfully
successful and that the financial story
OF Oil City, In Fresno county. with iss
dazzling vistas OF millions already
made and not under prospect, will be
told and retold again and again In new
fields in the near future.
