per barrel, or ~ per cent. There
was a decline of 37.7 cents per barrel
in the average price paid for Califor-
MIA petroleum, and decline of 76
cents per barrel for the Texas pro-
duct in 1901, as compared with 1900
"a decline accounted for by the in

PRODUCTION OF PETROLEUM
In the United States Last Year, Price
and Importance

AS there are a great many persons
in Flathead county interested in the
oil fields and the oil question, the
following will be read with considera-
BILE interest, particularly now that the
operators are expecting to have their
drills penetrate the oil deposit any
day. Already some of the local
stock holders have been making in
quiries as to the output of oil and
price and shipping conditions which
the appended article fully explains.
If all goes we'll the bulletin of the U.
S. geological survey next year will re-

quantity and quality of their produc-
ton
In his report on petroleum in Min
eral Resources of the United States,
1901" now in press, published by the
u. S. Geological Survey, Mr.. F. H..
Oliphant invites attention to the fol-
lowing conspicuous features in the
production and sale of petroleum in
the United States during the year
1901. He notes that the production
of crude petroleum was greater than
that of any previous year; and that
there was a very remarkable increase
in the production in the states OF
Texas and California, decrease in
the production of the Appalachian OF
Eastern petroleum fields, and a slight
gain in the output of the Lima
Indiana region. OF the total produc
ton in the United States 80 per cent
came from the older Appalachian ant
the Lima-Indiana fields, leaving &c
per cent to be made up from all the
other fields; this amount is liz PEI
cent greater than the proportion fur
nished in 1900 by the other fields
There was slight decrease in thu
number of wells completed in most o
the important fields, and stocks hell
in the Appalachian and the Lima-In
diana fields were also slightly de
creased. There was an average dc
cline of about "a cents per barrel TO

"Bed-Rock joe"

The late ]. j. Williams, Familiarity
known as Bedrock Joe" who died
at the Soldiers home, near Columbia
Falls, was quaint and curious char
acter. lie was born in the south and
later took part in Mexican war. When
the civil war broke out, Mr.. Williams
refused to take the part of the south
erners, but remained staunch union
man and became a strong republican
in politics. He early came to Mon
tana, and was once prosecuting. at
Uorney in this county. While no one
ever accused him having a profound
knowledge of the law, he practiced
the profession for many years. The
writer distinctly recollects of visiting
the court room one day while he was
defending a petty larceny pauper, on
appointment by the court. Curiosity
detained the writer in order to learn
what kind of plea he would make
to the jury. 1t was one of those hope
less cases a lawyer is sometimes
called upon to defend, in which the
proof against the prisoner is over
whelming and crushing, and his guilt
undoubted. Mr.. Williams, nothing
daunted stood before the jurors and
pleaded with them for nearly an hour
to acquit his client. He paid but lit
tie attention to the evidence, for that
was dangerous. In fact, he kept as
far from the evidence as possible
but he threw at the jury gems from
Shakespeare, texts from the Bible
pearls from Byron, and general as
sortment of poetic jewels and prose
maxims that were simply bewilder
ing.
He had grown quite feeble severa
years ago, but the last three years
by an accident, he was rendered bed
fast and helpless. He was quain
character and no mistake. Many o
our citizens will recall old "Bed-Rocl

1899 over 1898 was per cent, or an
average gain of II per cent for the
last three years.
AS compared with the value of the
total production of 1900, $500, 529
barrels, valued at $75,989,313, the
total production of 1901, $3.50, 1914
barrels, valued at $66, All, 1886, shows
a decline of $9,571,987. In the order
of production Ohio comes first, with
over 21,000,O00 of barrels; West Vir-
ginia second, with over 100000
of barrels; Pennsylvania third with
over 100000 of barrels; California
fourth, with over 100000 of barrels;
Indiana fifth, with over 100000 of
barrels; Texas sixth, with over A.
10000 of barrels, a loss in production
as compared with 1900, for Ohio,
West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and
gain of nearly four and half mill
ions of barrels for California; of a
little over three and half millions
of barrels for Texas, and of nearly
nine hundred thousand barrels for In
diana. This production for 1901, by
fields, was in round numbers for the
Appalachian field 33,600,000 barrels;
the Lima-Indiana field 219,00,000 bar
rels; the Southern California field
S,S00,000 barrels, and for the Texas
field 100000 barrels
The quality of the petroleum pro-
duced from these new sections is
generally much inferior to that pro-
duced in the old fields, but the great
er part of it is valuable as a fuel in
it's natural state, or after some of the
more volatile products have been re-
moved, and is particularly acceptable
as fuel in the absence of available
coal deposits in the southwest and
west In 1901, the Appalachian field
produced 4S.45 per cent of the totaI
output, the Lima-Indiana field 31.61
per cent, and all other fields 1894 pei
cent, as compared respectively with
575 per cent, 34.34 per cent, and So
per cent in 1900. The new fields O

directors Of the Evansville and Terre Haute
Railroad Company had decided to pass the divi-
dend on the common stock and might also find
it necessary TO reduce the dividend rate on the
preferred. consequence of Irregularities dis
covered in the books in the course Of a recent ex-

In October 1901 +. r Thomas and his asso-
ciates obtained control of the road and Mr..
Thomas was elected president. In February
Of this year the shares of the company had a
sharp rise. advancing about twenty points, and
late in that month it became known that the
Thomas party had disposed of It's controlling
holdings, and that Chicago and Eastern Illinois
interests had bought into the property. Mr..
Thomas retired from the presidency. and with
his father, General Samuel Thomas, and II. VI.

tors. The vacancies in the board were filed
by the election Of George II. Ball. Henry Seibert
