Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. PA wind
storm of unusual force and destruct-
iveness has ragged today all over the
southern part of California. The storm
is what is locally known as a Santa
Ana" and carries with it fine dust
from the desert to the east that fills
the air and obscures the vision at dis
tances more than a few hundred yards.
Reports from surrounding towns re-
port much damage wrought by the
wind to oranges and some damage to
small buildings. Railroad traffic is de-
iayed, and in some instances entirely
INSTRUCTED. The storm is heaviest in
the vicinity of Cotton and Pomona, be-
tween which places three passenger
trains on the main line Of the South
ern Pacific are stalled, owing to sand
piling upon the track to the depth Of
two feet in places. and resisting all eff
forts to keep the tracks clear.
Reports from Riverside, the heart Of
the great orange region, sixty miles
east of Los Angeles, state that i'm
mense damage has resulted from the
high wind. Oranges have been blown
from the trees, and in some cases the
trees themselves going down before the
force Of the storm. From all accounts
the loss to Orchardists in the Riverside
district will be in the neighborhood Of
5000 boxes.
At Redlands the storm was very Sc
we're, but the damage was not serious.
Sand piled up on the railroad tracks
to the depth of three feet and OBJ
structed all traffic during the day. No
through trains from Los Angeles have
reached Redlands today. Telegraph
and telephone wires nave suffered to
more or less extent throughout the
storm area, and commuuica ton with
many places is difficult 10 establish.
The wind ceased at Redlands late in
the afternoon, and a large force of

OIL STRIKE AT STATELINE
NATURAL GAS DISCOVERED
NEAR EASTERN BOUNDARY.
Especial to The Herald)

Vernal, Utah, Dec. 27.-Interest in
the supposed mineral lease on the
Uintah reservation has again been re-
vived by the receipt of dispatch from
Washington giving United States Com
missioner Warde Pack authority from
the Indian Office to go upon the reser-
walton and get the affidavits required
in the case.
The telegram was accompanied by a
request from Congressman Sutherland
that this action be taken, and asking
by what time the work could be fin
ished. He was informed that it would
be completed by the first of the year.
Commissioner Pack viii start for the
/ reservation on Sunday.
One affidavit was secured yesterday
from an Indian named Bull Woods, in
which he sets forth what has been
contended by the oppOsers of the lease,
that the Indians were misled in the
matter
The report published in Salt Lake
that the matter has been dropped is
evidently a mistake, as the purported
dispatch bears the date of the 23rd,
which is the date upon which Com
missioner Pack received his authority
to go on the reservation to secure af-
hdavits.
Oil Near Utah Line.
The rumor which has been current
here for some days that the Utah-Coi-

in the wells being drilled by the COM
pany near the state line is confirmed
hx- -,
the mail carrier that authentic in
/ formation has reached here that flow
was struck at a depth of 2,7S0 feet. No
/ definite details have as yet been re-
ceived but the strike is said to have
| been made at point some 900 feet
south Of the Dewey spring, where Pro-
/ feSsOr Arthur Lakes Of Colorado was
. visiting the fields last summer, gave
/ ii as his opinion that oil would be en-
/ countered in paying quantities at a
/ depth of LOCO feet. The location of
J the strike is five miles east of the state
/ line in Garfield county, Colorado, and
/ is about ninety miles southeast of Yer

Natural Gas Struck.
From the same sources it is learned
! that the California company, operat-
/ ing seven miles northeast of Rangely
| has encountered natural gas in two

/ down several hundred feet, with the
/ indications very favorable for oil. J
/ H Walters Of the company states that
a depth of 1000 feet will have been
/ obtained by the end of the year.
As a result of the above news no lit.
/ tie interest has been stirred up here
/ as a number of local parties are heav-
/ lily interested in the oil fields. and as
/ the oil belt extends to within a few
miles of Vernal, the finding of oil in
/ paying quantities anywhere along the
belt is received with considerable sat
isfaction.
