THE rExAs.LoulslANA OIL FIELDS.

Judging from the advance sheets SAINT 10
and published by The Post. the forthcoming
bulletin Of the United States geological sur.
vey on the Teras,Louislana oil fields will
contain some matter of unusual interest.
SO many stories have been told about the
marvellous production of oil IN this state and
the sister State OF Louisiana, and so much
skepticisism aud inereduity have been pro.
duced by these stories, that anything hear
Ing the official stamp of the National gov.
eminent will be particularly valuable as
tending to give the public a correct idea Of
conditions in the Oh fields.
One important feature of the bulletin IA
that which has reference to the probable
discovery OF oil at points other than Beau.
mont Sour Lake and the places at which
there are slready producing wells. The re.

this reasoning is correct, but there are ALWAYS

that the Texas oil is unsuited for the pro

doubtful II it can be made to yield good
lubrlcatng oil on commercial basis. These
disadvantages will be fully offset. however

That the geological survey experts ere

when it is stated that they estimate the
maximum flow of the 1862 wells on Spindle

and the average flow at about 10000 or 49,

views Of the great leaders of his party. The
republican party is the party of the eapitalistie

been in the interest Of those classes as against
the masses.

PaINCIPAL CITIES.

Honolulu is the capital of the isl
ands, and has the distinction of being
the richest city of it's size in the Unit
ed States. The word Honolulu"
means in the native language "shel-
tered homo" or harbor. The city is
situated on a sheltered harbor at the
base of mountains in the south of
Oahu. 1t has growing population
of some 10000. Honolulu handles
about four-fifths of all the trade of
the islands, which, in 1899 amounted
to $40, 900 imports and $23, 1000 900
exports. The great bulk of the ton
mage was carried in American bot
toms. Honolulu is very live city.
1t has numbers of large and substan-
tial wholesale and retail stores built
of brick, sandstone and blue lava.
Waikiki beach in the suburbs is
world-renowned for it's beautiful trees,
lawns, residences, hotels and sea-
bathing. The city is clean and well
lighted by electricity. Numberless
street cars run the streets at a Chi
cago pace, and hundreds of cabs do
thriving business. The Kings palace
and the government buildings, erect
ed during the monarchy, are magnifi-
cent structures, and will stand for
ever as monuments of the historic
past. The Bishop Museum" filed
with relics of bygone days is one of
the city's great attractions. Pearv
Harbor only few miles from the
city is now being dredged by the Uni
ted tates for naval station. 1t is
an immense lagoon eight miles in
length and four in width connected
with the ocean by a deep river two
miles in length and running between
coral banks.
