Prominent Oil Men

The Potomac's president, Mr.. Shernler-
horn, knows the Oil industry from Alto
z. having; gathered an enyiable experi-s
ence in the Eastern, fields. In one way or
another he has been connected with the
oil industry since boyhood He has the
reputation of having drilled over 1,500
wells and is acquainted with every detail
of the production and marketing of crude
oil and its products, With the mechanism
and equipment of drilling and pumping
plants, he is intimate, and he can be
credited with many useful inventions In
oil well machinery and tools. Mr.. Scher-
merhorn might be said to have Inherited
an adaptability to the oil industry, for ne
comes of family long identified with it.
Vice President Ritchie is a well known
business man of this city.
Secretary and Treasurer Robinson, for
merly of Virginia, but for long time
resident of Los Angeles in which city
and vicinity he has valuable realty in
terests, has had wide and successful busi-
ness experience. Much of the success
of the company can be credited to his
excellent financial management.
Field Superintendent D. M. Schermer-
horn, like his brother, the president of
the company, has been in the oil industry
all his life and is able to bring, therefore,
to the discharge of his duties, an i1iti-
mate knowledge of their requisites.
Field Superintendent Mprton's career is
a part of the history of the oil industry
in Indiana and. New York, his Identified

enness were AIS, and IN 1885, with a pop
ulation of 113. 900, they were 3,516-oHly a
few more than when the population was
less than third as great.
Similar reports come from every city
where the system has been introduced.
The publications of the Gothenburg So
cieties contain reports from the governors
of nearly all the towns and provinces of
Sweden, and while most of them are con-
sentative, they all testify to the inprov-
ed morals of the people The governor
of Gothenburg says: There can be no
doubt that these measures have brought
about an improved moral condition and,
although fights and other disorders can
not be entirely prevented, we must allow
that the Intervention of the police has
been called for less often than in former
times: The governor of Stockholm
says: This company has undoubtedly
done excellent service in checking the
banefui consequences which must ever
attend the sale of spirits" The governor

Oil VS.. Coal.

The Santa Fe Railroad company some
time ago determined to make a number
of practical tests of oil as fuel on loco
motives. The relative value of OIL and
coal for fuel was matter of the very
greatest Importance to the company, for
If any superiority could be established for
Oil over coal, it meant that the company
would use oil on all its locomotives in
Southern California. The tests to be made
were to show the relative efficiencIes Of
coal and oil, irrespective of cost. The
result of these tests is shown in the
official report of the company furnished
the Times, and was: Number of miles
run, per ton of coal, 26.7; number OF
miles run, per ton of oil, SS.46 BY this
1t was demonstrated that a train could be
run 12.39 miles further on one ton of OIL
than on one ton of coal, showing an eff
flcient power nearly 50 per cent greater
for oil than was shown for coal. Nor did
the advantages of oil for use ON locomo-
tives cease with it's efficiency. In the
matter of cost the advantages were also
on the side of OIL Take, for instance,
even the present highest price Of oil-say
Sill a barrel delivered-as compared with
coal at s7.25 ton, that being about rail-
road prices for it. Six barrels of oil. AZ
gallons to the barrel, and eight pounds
to the gallon, are equal to 2.016 pounds,
or say one ton of oil, making, at $115 a
barrel, $3.50 ton, as against $7.25 ton
for coal. But as train can be run on
one ton of oil 12.39 miles further than on
one ton of coal, the cost of oil, mile for
mile with coal, Is brought down to s4.sS
ton. The results of those tests were
sufficient for the Santa Fe company and
as q consequence, oil is used for fuel on
all it's lines in Southern California.-Los
Angeles Times, April 20.

him. Hence, as he receives salary for
managing the agency, and his conapen-
satiop is in nowise affected whether he
sells little or more liquor, it is to his
pecuniary advantage to persuade callers
to take coffee, tea and food instead.
The result of the Introduction of the
Gothenburg system in that city, in Stock
holm and elsewhere are very apparent.
In the first place, the number Of dis
tilleries in Sweden, which, as L have
said. was 172,124 in 1880, was reduced to
$50 in 1870 and to LIS in 1898. The amount
of liquor consumed annually per capita
in 1850 was forty-ffve quarts, In $50 it
was thirteen quarts, in 1898 eight quarts.

healthy and clean premises in place of
the former dark, wretched haunts of vice
and misery; by serving pure instead of
poisonous drinks; by. establishing eating
houses, and in other directions, the bolag
has certainly improved the condition of
the poor and decreased drunkenness and
vice. The reports of the police courts
show this in a remarkable degree In
1855. when Gothenburg had a Population
OF only $1,000, there were 3,431 ares i for

Kern Record Broken

Kern river field last Saturday night,
when the Potomac Oil company brought

drill first dropped, at a depth of $40 feet.
The sand was struck at $50 feet and
though the company thought it had a

marked contrast with the other wells be-

The Potomac was the first company in

Georgia Boy Tells of Experience In
Manila.

One of Uncle Sans soldiers, recent
ly home from the Philippines, was re-
calling a party of friends last night
with stories of that distant corner OF
our domains, when the possibilities OF
making money there, outside of the
army service, was touched upon by q
member
The returned Americana, a resident
of south Georgia town.and here upon
visit, was quickly at the bat in re-
Spouse to this inquiry,
He assured the interested listeners
that money fairly grew there,
One day, he said, he was walking on
Bay front when q regiment of negro
soldiers was being put ashore. One Of
the negroes, with the inherited in
stinct of his forefathers, carried q bag
of three game cocks which he had
smu9gled over from San Francisco.
AS his eyes fell npon the feathered
fighters the Georgia boy was struck
with a happy idea. In fact, the blow
was one of extreme delight. He saw
about ten years army pay in those
chickens.
The negro trooper was dead broke
and would sell at any price.
The Georgian fshed out eleven dol.
lars, every cent he had on earth and
ten thousand miles from home. He
gave this amount for the three chicks
and put out to place where the ''na.
tional sport" was in progress. He
watched his opportunity, and put his
three fighters into the pit.
His friends put up the money need
ed, and when the second fight ended
he still had his three game cocks and
81, 700 in silver as his part of the rake
off. sob yes; he added, Manila is 9
great place in which to make money"
