California Oil as an Investment.
(Contiuued from Sept. 1eo


The following shows how history re
peats itself time and time again. When
our Dear Uncle Samuel bought Alaska
in 1867. paving therefor 81 200 0O0-at
| the rate OF cents per acre-B. F. Butler
| Washburn OF Wisconsin and many Others
said: 1t is utterly worthless, and we had
better pay Russia the purchase price and
let her keep it"
These men thought honestly enough
that their judgment was sound, as do
many men of today who talk in a similar
strain concerning California oil invest
ments. But note how mistaken they
were. Alaska has already production
record OF 1854 100000 above the pur-
chase price, and has but just begun to
give up her treasure.
When two years ago the Peerless Oil
ComPany's stock was offered you at so
cents per share-par $1O-some bought
1t, and are very glad they did. Others
SAID: No. you don't tool us with no oil
stock-not none" What is the result?
Those who did buy are receiving a rate
OF 326 per cent annually on their invest
ment, and have but just got started in
their good fortune. Words will not de.
scribe the sorrow of the ''long- headed"
wise ones who wouldn't be fooled {"
They can easily see now-without the
aid of an illuminant-how expensive a
luxury their extreme pessimism has
proved to them.
Will similar experience make future
history in regard to the California For
tune Oil Company's stock. Present in
dlcations point that way-time alone can
tell.

SAMOAN CUSTOMS REVIVED.
This Country Tries in Vain to Have
Them Abolished.

From the Army and Navy Register.
A report received from the commandant
Of the naval station at Samoa states that
there has been a revival Of the old Samoan
customs which the United States authori-
ties recently made an attempt to have abol-
ished. Among other customs to which the
natives have returned is the malaga"
ceremony which induces a whole village or
great numbers of village to go on a visit
and remain days, weeks and months, eating
their friends out.
Another Of the abolished customs revived
Is that Of giving fine mats at weddings. fu
nerals, etc. In one village a law was
passed making 1t q misdemeanor to get
married "Faa-SamOa," but after keeping
the law on the village statutes for some
thing over year the younger element
seems to have prevailed and the law has
been repealed This method Of marriage
allows young man and woman to agree to
the union, and If at the end of a week,
month or a longer period either wishes to
be separated each may go his or her way
with no disgrace attaching to either.
The report states that another old custom
which has existed for generations and with
which the authorities find it very difficult
to cope Is the right OF chief who has no
children by his wife to live with some other
woman. A case Of this kind was brought
to the notice Of the commandant by a lead
Ing missionary. A man whose wife was
living. but who had gone away. had made
an alliance Of this kind. The man wanted
to join the church. but the missionary
would not receive him unless he became di-
vorced from his wife and married the other
woman. The wife had made no complaint
and there was no application for divorce.
The missionary reported that the natives
were fond of quoting in their defense a
passage, says the commandant, where
Abraham or some other biblical character
had done the same thing" The command
ant adds, SIT would be useless for the COM
mandant to ARBITRARILY order such practices
to cease He could not enforce the order.
The climate makes 1t an easy matter to
bring up children as they rear them food
is abundant. Time. and 1 am afraid a very
long time, will be required to get the ma
tives to see that they are wrong in such
matters. In the meantime, efforts are be-
ing made to help them and an Improvement
in some ways is evident"

CHARGE OF HOUSEKEEPING.
Grocer Weintrob Describes Method
Whereby He Was Robbed.

Reuben foyer, colored, after having
preliminary hearing in the Police Court
this afternoon on a charge Of housebreak-
ing, was held by Judge Kimball under $500
real estate security to await action by the
grand jury.
Alexander Weintrob. who conducts a gro
Gerry store at PA street southwest testi-
fed that the defendant entered his store
about 8 o'clock Monday evening of last
week. and after making a purchase gave
a signal which was answered by two other
colored men whom the police have not ap-
pretended. and that they carried OF large
part of his stock. Weintrob said that he
was preparing to close his store for the
might and had just taken $84 in money
from the cash drawer and placed 1t in one
whom he positively Identified, entered and
purchased cents worth of strip, and after
looking around the store eoughed couple
OF times and then two other colored men
appeared on the scene. He declared with
much emphasis that the men jumped upon
him and, after dragging him from behind
the counter, threw him upon a sack Of
beans lying In one corner Of the store.
foyer, he said, held his hand over his
mouth to prevent an cutlery, and with the
while the other intruder carried out 65
pounds Of steak, II cans of tomatoes, 50
cans of sardines, 10 cans Of strip, 6 bags of
flour and three large hams which he placed
in a wagon, after which the men left him.
neglecting to search his pockets, thus miss
ing the $S4 which he had taken from the
money drawer before they entered.
foyer, who was arrested by Policemen
Howard and Reinhard, denies the charge
but Judge Kimball decided that the matter
called for an Investigation in the upper
court. and held the defendant for the grand
Jury.

A NOTABLE "REDMAN."
Cousin Of Senator Morgan Citizen of
Cherokee Nation.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Gideon Morgan is an enrolled citizen of
the Cherokee nation. He is half-breed,
cousin Of United States Senator Morgan
Of Alabama, and holds a position of much
prominence and influence among both In
dams and white men throughout the In
dian territory. He was the permanent
chairman Of the single statehood conven-
ton recently held at Oklahoma City. and
presided In such dignified, able and i'm
partial way as to call forth the praise and
admiration Of the delegates and everybody
else present. The Oklahoman. In its reports
Of the meetings of the convention, particu-
larly extols the conduct and work Of Mr..
Morgan.
But the compliments bestowed upon the
Indian statesman for the ability and good
judgment he displayed on this occasion Is
not so interesting as the fact that leading
Oklahoma paper calls him, who Is only half
Indian, "a representative Cherokee in ev-
cry sense OF the word" and "a perfect type
Of the civilized, educated American In
dian" The Oklahoman has an intimate
knowledge of Indian life and affairs, and
undoubtedly has advisedly used these terms
and phrases. And the natural conclusion
to be drawn therefrom is that II Mr.. Nor
gan Is perfect type Of an Indian. there
are no full-blood Indians now existing in
the country This idea. however, Is not a
new one. It prevails to wide extent
among the people Of the United States, and
Is Justified by the appearance and custom
Of the Indians themselves nowadays. 1t Is
the accepted belief that the red men were
originally so-called because of their color
The Indians of the territory are perhaps
as near to their primitive state as the In
dams In any other part OF the nation are,
and yet It would be impossible to find very
many there the color Of whose skin would
warrant the epithet of red men" In fact,
of the $1,000 in the territory which the gov
ernment classes as Indians. only 10 per
cent are recognized as full-bloods. and even
the latter have copper or muddy yellow
complexion.
There were hundreds Of thousands more
Indians in this country when Columbus
discovered It than Is shown to be here in
the last census. But 1t would seem that
the disappearance Of the noble redman has
been brought about not as much by war as
by other and gentler influences.

Complaint Regarding Stable.

The health department has called the
attention of the Commissioners to the fact
that the temporary fuel shed erected at
14th and F streets northeast has been used
for stabling purposes. Some complaint has
been made because of a lack Of proper
drainage facilities. Col Biddle. the Engi-
neer Commissioner, has suggested that as
long as the stable is kept under inspection
by the health department there does not
seem to be any risk to the health of the
section, and the stable win have to be re-
moved. under the terms Of the permit. be-
fore hot weather begins, probably In April
Col. Biddle says the permit was issued with
a view to facilitate the handling of coal
under the unusual conditions prevailing and
was intended to help the situation. There
is no good reason, however, why the stable
should not be kept In good sanitary condi-
ton for the short length of time 1t will be
used, although not connected with sewer.

Victim Of a Merry Tramp.

L. s. Stanton of San Francisco, who is

Gently the victim Of perhaps the nerviest
tramp on record. He had been at Tonopah,
looking over some mining property, and had
taken berth In the sleeper. Awaiting
about o'clock in the morning he saw that
his clothes were gone. and in their place
was a suit OF ragged and dirty clothing and
pair Of brogan shoes. All his money was
in his clothing

Stanton. that woolly gentleman mistook
me for a hobo and summoned the con-

station, while the hobo rode on the cushions
and smoked my cigars and drank highballs

Sugar Cane Growing In Georgia

The interest that Is being taken in cane
growing In Georgia and the faith that busi-
ness men have In its future prosperity is
shown in the contemplated erection at Gil
max, In Thomas county, of the largest cane
mill in the SOUTH" said Herbert F. Ready
of Atlanta at the Raleigh. They will In
addition erect a sugar refinery of proper
tionate size to the mill. It Is proposed to
have the capacity of the mill 400 tons Of
cane day. and It will consist Of the most
improved and up-to-date machinery and
equipment This IS not to be a mere mill on

California Fruit Frosted.

"Those who are watching the orange in
dustry in our section believe that the coal
famine in the east is materially affecting
the orange growers of California said
Thomas G.. Howard of San Francisco at the
New Willard.
Reports from the various sections show
that the fruit Is badly frosted, which is
taken to indicate that the cars in which
they were shipped have been left ON side
tracks on account of lack of motive power
or fuel to move the engines
1.-THE crop has been a very large one, and
1t appears that the shipments of citrus
fruits from California will reach $1,000 cars
during the season."
