Booming an OIL Road.

Hon. George f. Wright returned yester-
day morning from California. where he has
been since lest May in the interest of the
Midland Pacific Railway company, which
proposes constructing a line about $50 miles
in length from Bakersfield, in Kern county.
California, to the Pacific coast at a point
near Port Hartford. The purpose OF the
road is 10 secure means of conveying the
oil product of that section of California
to the coast at a rate which will insure
the producer some profit. During the time
he was in California Mr.. Wright has been
engaged in securing the right of way for
this projected railroad, for which the line
has been surveyed and the estimates made.
The projected road has now been bonded
for $40, 900 a mile and the parties interested
are now in New York floating the bonds
and have so far met with the best of en-
couragement. As soon as the bonds are
hoated work on the construction of the
railroad will be begun. Mr.. Wright says
that Kern county, California, can produce
more oil than any section in the United
States, Texas not excepted. The company
which Mr.. Wright represents has made con-
tracts with the oil producers of that sec
ton Of California under which they have
agreed to ship 5000 barrels a day for ten
years. the rate Of transportation TO the
coast not to exceed 10 cents a barrel. BY
this contract the producers, Mr.. Wright
says, will save 20 cents a barrel and thus
insure a profit. Mr.. Wright says that he
also succeeded in making a very profitable
contract with the Rothschilds for the hand
ling of a large portion OF the oil output Of
that section of the country.

gun, grasping 1t by the muzzle and dragging
it toward him.. The trigger caught on the
edge of the wagon box and the man received
