THE OIL FIELDS.
Some Good News Concerning Cali.
fornia's Latest investments.

A recent correspondent of the Bos-
ton Traveller has the following from
the California oil fields:
Few people in the East can realize
the extent of the "oil BOOM which
is now raging in California. The gold
excitement OF AZ could not be com
pared with it, and "Klondike" cannot
be mentioned in the same breath.
The new Oil Exchange. which began
business yesterday, was limited to 100
members. Within four days there
were $50 APPLICATIONS for membership,
and seats, the regular price of which
is 500, are now selling from $1,000
to $1,000 each. This city, Los Angeles,
and San Diego are crowded to over
flowing, and in BakeTsfield-th heart
of the oil distriCt-therc are people
from Europe, Asia, New Zealand. Aus
tralia and the whole civilized world.
Hotels andboarding houses cannot begin
to accommodate the rush. Visitors
are sleeping on the verandas of the no
tells, and some are even compelled TO
apply for lodgings in the Jail. There
is nothing California has ever seen
that has ever paralleled the excite
ment.
News from all that region is to the
same purport The whole country
there is booming. Claims are being
staked out every day and fortunes are
being made as fast as the long hidden
wealth producer can possibly flow OF

The group of wells of the Monarch,
Pittsburg, Superior Wilson, ArcOlo,
Medina, Acme and the Jewett, Blodget
& Beale, and now with the recent de-
velopment and important well that
has developed in the property of the
Gold Dollar Oil company, has demon
strated the strong value of the north
central portion of the field. The ter.
ritory of about a mile wide and a mile
and a half long is now turning out a
great deal of OIL
Near the Monarch. the Arcola Oil
company is handling an immense

Weakness of Vermonters.
From the Barre Times.

No newspaper man in Vermont ever
denounces the state but it is for the
good of all that they should not hest
tate to speak of the shortcomings Of
the state and its people. Nowadays
practically all reforms are accomplish
ed by the newspapers as it is to them
thai the public looks for information.
Desirable changes are brought about
by wholesome criticism and if criti-
cism did not exist there would be no
reform. The greatest fault of the ma
tive Nermonter are his egotism and
self-conceit and tendency to look down
on his neighbors. Vermont newspG-
pers are published for Vermont ~ead-
ers and it should be one of their du-
ties in addition to printing the news.
to prick the self-sufiiciency bubble
wherever found and keep their read
ers thinking out of the general rut
and alive to opportunities for better
ment in any and every direction.
