PETROLEUM COMPANY.

This is an age of consolidation
and the California Consolidated
Petroleum Company is born of
this successful principle. The
"ten-cent" OIL companies are of
few days and full of trouble and
they must strike oils in their first
wells or burst, for with their mon
ey gone in a dry hole their stock
is killed. If they survive they
will be swallowed by the Calf
ornia Consolidated or the Stand
ard, for such is the history OF the
oil business. There is only room
for two oil companies like the
California Consolidated and the
Standard on the Pacific Coast.
These two giants will inevitably
control the oil business in Cali
fornia, and it is those Wise enough
to see this who are buying the
stock of the California Petroleum
Company, which stock Is likely,
ere long, to make its holders rich
Already the stocks Of a few other
oil companies, bought at nom
inal figure, are worth on the
market several hundred dollars
per share, and the time Is not dis
tant when a small block of this
stock may mean competence to
the fortunate owner. Certain it
is that the present price will soon
be doubled, and those desiring

evils arising from the marriages OF
white men with Indian girls have be-

might get possession of the valuable

of this a law was enacted by the In

before the courts
|. Of . chureh. IN o;,v mot far
away, says Boston exchange. An
Episcopal church is being sued be-
cnuse it il not sufficiently high
church" 1t appears that certain
person left money to this church with
the provision that the services should
come up to certain standard of
shurchmanship. While the minister
is doing his level best to whip up the
convictions of his people to the stand
ard of the high-church policy, he has
failed, it IS claimed, to get as much
ritualism into the services and the re-
sponses of his flock as the money calls
for. It will be very interesting to find
out who is to blame in such pecul-
lar case. The parson has solicitously
turned" on all the ritual within his
knowledge, and the people declare
they have taken oil they can digest.
As no canon OF the church tells just
where high churchmanship begins
and broad churchmanship ends, it will
be very edifying il the secular court
will throw some light upon the vexed
