The advantages Of the glorious

here in the East, and the claim

ideal conditions to be met. But
here comes gentleman who has
spent years on the Pacific coast,
and who is at present in Sisters

ifornia is all the California there
is, and that nearly all the people
in the State are within seventy
five miles of San Francisco"
The gentleman in question
thinks, however, that San Fran
cisco is the healthiest city in the
world, and one of the greatest.
Lon Angeles he describes as a
place made up of Eastern people
who are temporarily stopping
there; that the country surround

is all that keeps vegetation alive.

section are there at the present
time. These very individuals, as
many readers of the Oil Review
are aware, have been loud in
their praise of the advantages to
be found there and the healthful
climate. But from the report
given us by by the California Wis
itor in our city, and who is still
resident of the State, being a
prominent business man in San
Francisco, there is some reason
to doubt the fowery descriptions
given out by numerous visitors
from the east to California. In
short, it dispels the illusion and
puts altogether a different aspect
on the matter. Too bad that we
have been laboring so long under
the false misrepresentation OF
California and it's beautiful eli
mate.
After all, West Virginia can be
set down as the banner State of
the whole bunch. The climate is
ideal and the people are pros
porous and happy. We do not
need a system of irrigation, as the
soil is kept well watered from a
natural source, and our luxuries
are equal in most every respect to
those of any section of Califor-
MIA.

ROOSEVELT ELECTED.
GREAT REPUBLICAN VIC
TORY.
EVERY DOUBTFUL STATE
CARRIED.

NC" OIH, NOV. y. - ne he-
publican national ticket has been
elected by vote in the electoral
college that will exceed that OF
292 given Mr.. Mckinley in 1900.
The result of today's balloting
was astonishing even to the most
sanguine Of the Republican mana
gers. Confident as they were of
success, they we're not prepared
for the astonishing figures which
followed the closing of the polls,
bringing into the Republican col
umn not only al! Of those States
they had claimed rs safe for their
candidate, but with the possible
exception of Maryland, every
State classed as doubtful.
Democratic successes are confin-
ed to the solid South, in which
Kentucky is included, and Mr..
Parker has not carried Il single
State which did not give its vote
to Mr.. Bryan four years ago.
New York, Nov. 8. President
Roosevelt's victory did not dimin-
ish in any degree over night. On
the contrary, it has grown bigger.
Later and fuller returns from
everywhere show that the victory
of the Republican party has been
one of the most astonishing in
Americas political history.
No candidate since Greeley's S
time has been more badly beaten
than Judge Parker. Every doubt
full state fell into line in the Re-
publican column and surprised
the Republicans themsel yes by the
tremendous plurality. Another
surprise in the election is the fact
that several Northern states, not
ably Massachusetts and Minnesota
elected Democratic governors in
the face of an astonishing plurality
for Roosevelt.
The honor of having the largest
popular vote ever given any ma
tional candidate has fallen to
Roosevelt and Fairbanks. In
many states the national ticket
run ahead of the Mckinley vote
four years ago.
The Democrats lost seats in con-
gress which they believed to be
absolutely safe.
New York, Nov. O.-After
election Interest was today sud-
denly centered upon Maryland by
the announcement that that State,
yesterday conceded to the Re.
publicans, is now in doubt. Late
returns have reduced Roosevelt's
plurality to the narrow figure of
1875, and 1t will take the official
count to determine whether Mary
land will be placed in the Repub-
lican or Democratic column.
There is also a possibility that the
States electoral vote will be di-
vided.
Beyond the situation in Mary
land and the fact that it is now
admitted that Roosevelt carried
Missouri, iu which State the Leg
islature is also Republican, to-
days election news Is devoid of
feature. Returns SHOW steadily
increasing Republican pluraIties,
and now it seems probable that
Roosevelts plurality in the popu-
lar vote will be IN round mum bers
100000. In Colorado both
parties are claiming success on the
State ticket.
