but that end might have been long de-

in the Transvaal territory attracted the
attention of the outside world. That dis

sprang up, and within the four years
which ELAPSED between 1894, the date
of the last repressive legislation, and
1899. the aliens of Uitlanders, as they were

IT was not TO be expected that the Ult-

unaccustomed to- thateSk kind Of tyranny,
would long patiently endure SO anomalous
a situation They did not, and their pro-
test, signed by q, 1854 persons, setting forth
their grievances, sand spehtioning for re-

was referred to the British governor of

grievances which the Uitlanders had ex-

big ones. Noise assumed the scepter and
has reigned ever since. There Is strong
desire on the part of many people to-day
to change the character Of the celebra-

like unto that which it once was. All
sorts of plans have been suggested for q
more orderly and solemnly impressive
celebration Of the republics natal day.
The effort to change the methods Of the
days recognition are being exerted In q
virile way, and 1t may be that the pres
ent generation will live to find something
more in the Fourth of July than a picnic,
the explosion of pack Of crackers under
a tin pan or the rush Of rocket which,
like too many Independence day celebra-
tons, ends in "stick."

OIL IN CALIFORNIA.
An Intsrvisw with . We'll Know,
Expert.

An Interview with . Well Know. Nm
/ Expert.
A wsll-known oil expert has thu n,
lowing to say about the California oil
industry:
The oil production Of Calitorni. 4.
now about $500, 900 barrels annusllv
This output is being increased ve,v
materially each month by the produc,
of the new wells drilled to oil in N.
different districts.
The question most frequently askua
me. especially by capitalists and thoss
interested or likely to be interested IN
oil investments is: ''Is there not
possibility of overproduction of oil in
California;"
There are two main belts extendino
through the state, located on the ea,t.
ern and western shores OF ancient, pra.
historic seas. One OF these produces .
black and essentially fuel oil, and thu
other green or gas oil.
The black or heavy oil makes an
ideal fuel, as has been proven BY %
years of experience in Russia and in
this county.
In using oil as fuel 1t is necessary
to exercise considerable judgment, and
to know what kind of oil as well a,
what kind OF burner to use.
The two oils, the black and tina
green, lie almost in two parallel belts
in California extending on the west
side of the San joaquin valley and run.
ming north and south into northern and
southern California. There is likewise
a similar condition on the east side O,
the San joaquin more or less in syi.
dence as is shown by the outcroppinps
and geological formation. The east
side of The valley. however. has not vet
been prospected for oil as has the ives,
side, where developments have already
been, and where by far the largest
amount of the oil output Of California
is at present obtained.
1t is true that many far-seeing CAPT.
talists have entered into the oil bust.
ness and have reaped rich financial re-.
turns already. others have been too
conservative and are losing opportuni.
ties which are fast being taken up BY
Eastern capitalists, who areTapidly ap.
preciating the chance California gives
for investments.
Many wells are now under way, and
new derricks are going up on every side,
and am satisfied that many Of these
new oil enterprises will be wonderfully
successful and that the financial story
of Oil City, in Fresno county, with its
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.

Alexandria, Va, with a large company
Of civil and military people Of Fairfax
County"
Things were not particularly bright for
the colonial armies on the first anniver-
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
n-chef that all military prisoners under
the sentence of death should be pardoned.
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.
ish army officer who was a prisoner in
the HuD u tHc tinuc WTOle al account OF
the rejoicings of the "deluded people,"
He was escorted by a band Of patriots
to see the ''goings on" and confesses that
he enjoyed the occasion as a break in q
rather monotonous life Of captivity. The
crowd Of Bostonians tore down the lion
and the unicorn from the old headQuar-
tiers Of the British Government, after
ward the old Massachusetts state house.
1t was not until after the signing of
the treaty Of peace with Great Britain
that celebrations of Independence day
were held regularly in all places. Dinners
were .avorite features Of the day. Ev-
ery body was invited and it was seen to
that there was enough for ALL The citi-
zen sat down at the outdoor table with
out any fear that a cannon cracker was

finished his first course. Pandemonium
had not as yet come into general use as
a synonym for the features of the Fourth
Of July. All through Virginia the public
and private feasts on Independence day
had as dish what was known % Bruins
wick soup or stew. The name probably
arose from a desire on the part Of the
Virginia householders to suggest that the
kingly house of Brunswick was "in the

the custom for years to have a great
