A BONANZA FOR THE BOSSES.

While the farmers who are still swing
ing to their $50, cotton bales at the sug-
gestion of Hon. Harry Jordan when they
refused s5ofor them at the suggestion of
Hon. Harvey Jordan, may be benefited to
some extent as the result of the Gotten
holding movement of which Mr.. Jordan
is president, it seems there are others still
who will be more largely and more di-
rectIy benefited.
Among these latter my be mentioned
Mr.. Jordan, himself, but as the labor)r
is verify of his hire" perhaps this feat
ure is alright,
AS president of this organization and
chief advisor of the farmers, despite the
tremendous loss already sustained
through advice previously gwen by him,
Mr.. Jordan is to receive the splendid sal
AIRY of IS, 900 a year, to be paid him by the
farmers.
Mr. Jo~dan's chief assistant. Mr., T, J.
Simmons, in the role of chief of >.blicity
bureau, likewise will receive a handsome
salary, paid by the cotton producers, The
duties of the chief OF she publicity bu-
reau" will consist largely in mailing liter
allure and circulars to the county press,
in the way of advice to the iarners the
same to be published gratis, OF course.
What the result of tn conventions
work will be, eventually, cannot be clear
ly predicted at this stage 1t is hoped that
he farmers, acting upon Mr. Jordan's ad
vice. may get more for their Gotten. even
though they lost out in taking such ad-
vice heretofore, but at all events President
Jordan, with his $1,000 salary, aud chief
p, blicity Bureau-Sin ons will not BE-
hurt.

manner. The presentation of diplomas

am bald headed; 1 have never tried to
get divorce from my wife and she
has never tried to poison me; I never
saw buffalo outside of a public park
or a circus menagerie and an Indian in
war paint would frighten me to death.
Now If that is not a sufficient alibi
can prove that never hobnobbed with
the crowned heads of Europe. have
never been able even to take their
orders for the line Of fine china that I
carry.
Cody is often taken for the only and
truly original Thursday a bronzed
register sent up his card. A few min
utes later the dealer in china appeared
an on making his presence known the

NATURAL CAS- IS

Those Interested In the Oil Industry
Have Been Utilizing the Comno.
dity for Years With Great
Success

Is there enough natural gas in Los
Angeles to fill all need of the munich
pality for commercial and domestic
purposes?
Those who are interested in the local
oil fields believe this to be so. They
have been utilizing the natural gas
that oozes from their wells for years
and assert that the supply is unlimited.
1.-THE oil belt is simply filled with the
commodity" said prominent broker
yesterday, land the wonder is that the
city has not long since seen fit to make
use of it,
For several years past there has been
talk of utilizing the natural gas in the
oil district, but as yet no official test
has been made by the municipal au-
thorities and no steps taken to forward
the project.
Much Gas Wasted
1t is a we'll known fact that a large
quantity of the gas wasted by the use
OF improper methods would, If properly
handled, be capable of supplying a
great amount of fuel to Los Angeles.
All of the pumping plants in the local
fields are using the article right along,
it being preferable to any other kind Of
fuel, and by doing so they have erected
apparatus that is altogether unadapted
for the purpose and consequently more
gas is wasted than used.
The idea has been advanced as to
whether this gas If proper provision be
made for checking the waste-and
there is no doubt but that this could
be done-could be piped over the city
and used for domestic and commercial
service. Whether this would be wise
move depends, however, upon the pres
ent available supply and the possibil-
ity of further development.
II there is not enough natural gas
to supply all of the city's needs. 1t is
argued by brokers that great advan-
tage would be worked in the question
of quality and service should the natu-
raj article be mixed with that which is
manufactured. II is believed this would
afford much better light than is fur
nished now as well as enhance the heat
when used for cooking. or steaming
purposes.
