of the case which was instituted by
Samuel Stevenson, brother>in-law

clared that Dowie's church, the
Christian Catholic church, was a

business. He held that Stevenson,
by undue influence exerted by
Dowie, head of the church had
been led to turn over to Dowie
practically everything he had, and
held that Stevenson was entitled to
at least 100000 from Dowie, or
the lace industries, which he said
were practically the same thing.

There are many people not alive
to the Importance of oil discoveries.
They look uoon the derricks as un>
slightly, the product evil-smelling
and the result unimportant.
Passing by what Pennsylv MIA S

Of what that product has accom-
pi,hed for the prosperity of South>
ern California. The panic of 'o3
found Los Angeles at the tail end
Of boom and hattened out. lust
then came great discoveries of oil
in city and country and the city at
once entered upon an era of growth
and prosperity which has never for
an instance been checked. Within
the ten years since petroleum be-
came a factor in her assets, Los
Angeles has expanded from pop
ulation Of 90, 900 to I25 900, md is
today the most prosperous city on
the Pacific coast. For this result
oil was primarily the moving cause
and the enterprise of the business
men of that delightful city the con
comitant which wrought from op-
portunity success.
Several years ago oil was pros
spected tor east and north Of this
city. The indications in both cases
were good, but funds were INSULT

there been the same interest that
now is in evidence, there can be lit
tie doubt that the country heres
abouts would now be studded with
derricks and Grand Junction be
rounding the 10000 mark.
Cripple Creek, with its wealth of
gold, can offer no greater allure
ments than oil producing area, for
an oil we'll can be operated at in>
hnately less expense than mineral

month, where in sufficient number

are stupendous, and in a genuine
oil belt the output as nearly ever
