OIL DEVELOPMENTS
THE OIL MARKET.


sylvania oil at $1.5o for from
months until drilling operations
got In a net, an advance of 3 cents
per barrel has been talked on and
1t Is now expected that Dan O'Days
bumpers will contract new hard
ware bills, 60 in debt for lumber
or rigs and start few new wells
then when they get nicely started
down will go prices for their credit
balances. The same old bronco
game Is easily marked out and over
again and Dan O'Days bumpers are
always the easy suckers who seem
willing to be bruncodd. For more
than ten years prices have been too
low, but these prices have enabled
the Standard to gobb'e up the best
territory and drive most of the old
time producers to a corner.
Within the period from 1895 to
The present, when the seep pur'
charing agencies have fixed the
'.paices justified In the markets OF
the world" regardless of conditions
the dividends of the Standard on
Company have been trebled and
those of the independent rehners
proportionately large. The pro-
ducers have had the hot end OF the
poker during all those years, The
Pure OIL was originally organized
to afford relief to Dan O'Days
pumpers>or such of them as could
lend their support 10 the cause but
1t too, has fallen into the ways OF
the Standard and no one contested
with 1t derives much benefit except
the re6ners who have made and
are making enormous profits. So
much for the purchases of credit
balances now comes q strained con-
dition In field matters bat 1t does
not materially effect prices.
Never has territory bsen so hard
to obtain and never has the search
been greater and more wide spread,
but 1t seems to make little differ
ence with those who make "price
ID sti6ed In the markets of the
world" They evidently have faith,
In fact know that Dan O'Days
bumpers will continue their efforts
to put up their crude supply and 1t
only needs an occasional jolly OF 2
or ; ceuts to keep them hustlins.
1t is then an easy matter tor the
Standard and to Its iuder endent to-.
lowers to secure their enormous
profits from refined products.

of the city demands that immediate
steps should be taken to thoroughly
clean it and keep it clean. Persons
should be prohibited from using ditch
water to wash vegetables, especially
those that are eaten raw, such as eel
cry. lettuce and tomatoes.
The taking of ice for domestic pur
poses from any of the bitches should not
be tolerated. 1t would add much to the

most doubtful. should be reported and
the eXcreta disinfected, just the same as
if it were typical case of typhoid, thus
giving the public the benefit of the
doubt. Mild cases of typhoid fever
spread the disease as surely as the Sc
we're.
The country about North Yakima is
infected and should be looked after as
carefully as the city. We visited three
families and found two cases in one.
four in the second. and one in the third
In the second there had been six other
!, a,,1 h. ,.,l
two others with one death We saw a
portion of the intestines from
the latter case showing the true
typhoid ulcers. The first and second
families were using water from wells
that were situated within four feet of
bitches which passed two houses farth-
er up where typhoid had existed very re-
Gently. Numerous other cases were re-
ported that we did not have time TO Wis
it, Enough were seen, however, to SUBJ
stantiate the claim that typhoid fever
exists as an epidemic in North Yakima,
and probably in the adjacent country.
1t has been claimed by one of the ply
sicians who deny the existence of ty-
phoid that the prevailing fever could not
be that disease because it was found most
frequent in August, September and De-
tober, and steadily decreased during the
colder months. There is no authority
on typhoid fever greater than Osler, and
he specifically names those months as
the season when that affection reaches
its maximum of intensity. His tables
of statistics show that more cases of tv-
phoid occur in August, September and
October than in the nine other months
combined; and on that accout the dis
ease is frequently called autumnal few
er.
In closing l will mention that we wit
messed one autopsy of a typhoid case.
The caeeum and colon were covered with
ulcers through two of which perforation
had occurred causing general peritonitis
and death. While a majority of cases
affect the lower part of the ileum as well
as the caecum and colon yet about one
third of all eases affect the caecum and
colon alone and this case belongs to |
that class.

REALISM At
PLAYHOUSE
McDuffie Was Bouncer
at New Chinese
Theater.

There was a breezy time yesterday
afternoon at the new Chinese theater
near the corner of Maunakea and Ho-
tel streets, when Special Police officer
McDuffie stood in the little entrance door
and barred the way against a pushing
crowd of angry Chinese who wanted to
get inside the playhouse. 1t was the
last day of the celebration of Chinese
New Year, and the Chinese seemed to
want something in the line of tragedy
or comedy and f1ocked in great num-
bers to both theaters. Being Sunday
there was no selling of tickets permit
let the crowd in free that was another
after
When McDuffie came upon the scene
he found that there was no sale, ap-
parently, but on closer inspection he
found that all those who went through
the outer door were checked by a num-
Der on tally sheet, and another man
farther on collected cash. McDufie put
a stop to this at once. and ordered the
big exit doors opened wide. His request
was met with refusal. In the mean
time. the crowd outside had gained in |
and there was occasionally a |
rush, McDuffie charging on the leaders |
in return. Finally he left the place |
and came to the police station to re-
ceive further instructions.
One of the managerial staff then took
a hack and went in search of High
Sheriff Brown When McDuffie went
back to the theater he found the doors
wide open and the interior filled with
interested in play which was
;aid to be a tragedy.

BOARD OF HEALTH
MAKES PROTEST

The following is the memorial adopt
ed by the Board of Health against the
proposed establishment of a national
Eeprosarium on Molokai, and which
will be forwarded to washington on
the China:
We, the members of the Territorial
Board of Health of Hawaii, respectfully
lprotest against the establishment of a
National leprosarium at the Territorial
leper settlement, on the Island of Mo-
lokai, Territory of Hawaii.
We submit:
% The taxpayers of Hawaii have for
over thirty years cared for their own
afflicted at Molokai During the period
much time, attention and money has
been devoted to the alienation and sup
preston of the disease. The system
suited to local conditions has been
slowly and carefully evolved. Segre-
CATION, the operation of which is harsh
and painful, has been enforced. The
people at the settlement are all, never
theless, resigned and satisfied.
Leprosy is decreasing. Each year
greater efforts are made and more
money willingly appropriated to assure
comfort and scientific treatment. No
reason appears why the Territory can
not continue in this work.
The settlement is a Hawaiian village
community, not differing from other
village communities in these Islands, |
except as to restraint or freedom of
egress.
1t has been the continued policy of |
the local Board of Health to remove |
as far as possible therefrom all SEM
blance of a penitentiary or place of de-
tention.
The people there suffer enough as it
is The domesticity of the native Ha-
waiians is not interfered with.
An attempt so to do increases an al
ready unhappy condition. whereas the
statistics of the settlement show but
.wo cases out of as many as three hun
lred births of a leprous child of leprous
The settlement is open to any scient-
st the Federal government may send
ut. Scientists have been employed by
he Hawaiian government from time to :
ine according to the dictates of expe-
fence and no effort is likely to be spar 1
d now in this matter.
Medical services have always been
furnished.
The influx into the settlement of lep- ]
RS of various nationalities from the ]
ountry at large would upset the peace
nd augment the discomfort and suffer- 4
lg of the present inhabitants.
The present system, under the Terri
,riaI government, is working harmoni-
lsly. There appears no good reason
by it should be disrupted to accom-
odate Iepers from the country at
rye
Other States and Territories might
} as this Territory has done, take care
their own lepers.
We respectfully urge that a measure
hich. if passed. would injure the fair
putatfon of these Islands, their polit-
al commercial and social weIl-being,
oset the peace of the settlement and
srupt a local system, would be great
justice to the unfortunate afflicted =
.sident of the settlement and a great
nd not merited wrong to the people

Chinese New Year Is
Marked by Less
Enthusiasm.
Legislators Come From the Val
ley Isle for the Purpose
OF Conference.

| MAUI. January 2s.-Chinese New
Year, which began on the 2Sth, has
been celebrated on Maui with much
less enthusiasm than in former years.
Perhaps the hard times of the past
year may be mentioned as the cause;
and then, too. there are fewer Chinese
on the Island than formerly. How
ever. the usual hospitality was ex-
tended and there was the usual in
terchange of calls where the weather
permitted. During the past week the
weather has been most inclement-
heavy trade wind gales blowing most
of the time. accompanied by rain on
East Maui Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday.
At Kahului the sea has been so
rough that little or no work has been
accomplished by the longshoremen.
The bark Foohng Suey, loaded with
sugar, was ready to sail for New
York on Saturday, the oath, but was
prevented by heavy winds. She tried
to get away again on Wednesday,
but could not for the same reasons,
and today will again attempt to depart
but the gales still blow. The schoon-
er Alice Kimball has unIoaded but very
little lumber during the week on ac-
count of bad weather.
The majority of the Maui legislators
sail today for Honolulu. Hon. w. p. |
Haia of Hama is on Hawaii and will |
not go to Honolulu until the 7th; |
but representatives S. E Kalama, S.
Philip Pail and Joel Naka-
leka, accompanied by their families. |

stated that ]. H. S. Kaleo of Hama is
a candidate for sergeant at arms of the
House; Henry Reuter-, of Nahiku, is
running for messenger of the House,
and Rev. John Kalino of Paia has a
strong pull for chaplain of the SEN
ate.

BEWARE! MR.. MOSQUITO.
DR.. LederIe Is About to MOUe
AGAINST You rith Dixie and Drains.

In a short time the annual crusade Of the
Health Department against mosquitoes Will
begin. Plans are now being prepared for the
fight against the little pests, in which the
chief method of offence will be the drainage OF
low lying districts. Scientists are well aware
of the value of this method in combating mos
quitoes. There is one region under the city's
jurisdiction where Health Department off1cials
think this could be brilliantly demonstrated at
almost a nominal cost.
For years Staten Island has been ridl-
cued as the haunt of the mosquito" sOn
the South Shore, beginning about a mile or two
below the fort and running nearly to New
Dorp. is a stretch of marsh land which at
high tide is almost entirely submerged. This
is the breeding place Of millions Of mosquitoes
Flooded by the tide which enters the marsh by
a small stream, this low ground also receives
the drainage from the hill northwest Of it, on
which are some Of the finest homes on Staten
Island This drainage is emptied into the
ocean by a winding inlet, New Creek. with two
main branches and many minute ones.
The plan is to build a small dixie at the
mouth of the creek, thus reducing the water
level behind the wall at least three feet The
drainage would flow out, but the rising ude
would be checked by automatic fioodgates-
over this plan officials Of the Health Depart
rllent are enthusiastic, and Borough President
Cromwell favors it Engineers have called It
perfectly feasible easy even. and of moderate
cost. The residents Of that district have ap-
peaIed many times for this relief, even subscrib-
ing $1,000 toward it. One of Commissioner
LederIes first moves in the mosquito crusade
will probably be to ask the Board Of Estimate
and apportionment for an appropriation to build
this dixie.
a resident Of that part of Staten Island, after
explaining the geographical situation, told of the
advantages to be gained from this drainage.
"A section Of about six square miles-nearly
four thousand acres-would be benefited he
said The actual marsh area to be drained
probably contains one and one-haf square
miles OF course after the shutting out Of the
tide there would still be the rain drainage but
what was before under three feet Of water
would then be above the level. while what had
been above high tide would then be high ground
There would be considerable work to do plough
ing with ditch ploughs and systematic draining
but the principal thing, the building of the dixie
would be easy If were to do it I could get it
done cheapIy. but a city engineer would never
consent TO have anything less than masonry
wall which would probably cost $4,000. ASIDE
from the riddance of mosquitoes, crops-hay, at
least-coud be raised this land
Drainage will be undertaken in all parts OF the
city. Experts are investigating the old town OF
Cravesend Brooklyn, while parts of Manhattan
and The Bronx viii also receive attention AS
fast as the reports are received formal orders
will be sent from the Health Department for the
landowners TO drain and clean up their property
