A VISIT TO THE
new OIL FIELD

E. Schupbach of this city. About
five other rigs are up or going
on town lots all close to the big
we'll on the West farm. One firm
had a rig up and commenced TO
spud last Friday. As the West
well did not come in until Tues
day, to get lease, build rig
and start to drilling inside Of
three days after the West well
came in, is hustling some. The
West we'll has fell off about one
half, and is now making 200 bar
rels of oil a day. This is not
very fiattering indication. The
well was drilled a foot deeper
Saturday, but the production was
not increased any. Still, the well
may settle down and be a large
producer. but falling off one-haR
in such a short time would indi-
cate that the pool Of oil is not a
very extensive one, but sometimes
all signs fail in the oil business.
Everybody seems to be of the
opinion that the only way the
pool can extend will be due west,
as there are dry holes in all other
directions from the West well.
Until some of the wells now be-
ing drilled come in all predictions
will be sheer guesSwOrk. The new
well is giving employment to a
lot of oil field workers, and Will
put a good deal of money in circu-
lation before it is thoroughly test
ed.

being very lively down that way.
Many teams are hauling in rig
timbers, boilers, casing and ev-

way. Grace and West, who drill

SAYS SCHOOLS
WILL BENEFIT
Roncovieri Pleased Over New
Law Fixing Minimum Al
loWance for San Francisco
GOVERNOR SIGNS BILL.
Supervisors Now Compelled
to Appropriate at Least
81 for Each Child in City

President Roncovieri of the Board OF
Education received information yester-
day that the Governor had signed the
bill which provides that the Board OF
Supervisors of every county must an
nually levy county school tax, the
maximum rate of which must not ex-
ceed 80 cents on each S100 of taxable
property, nor the minimum rate be less
than 81 per census child.
Heretofore San Francisco has been
the only county exempted from the
provisions Of sections 1917 and 1918 of
the Political Code, which fixed the min
imum sum to be allowed for the sup
port of the schools. The bill which is
now the law is amendatory of the two
sections quoted and will compel the
Supervisors to appropriate at least 81
on each census child. As there are
about 100000 of such children it means
that not less than 100000 must be con-
trIbuted by the city of San Francisco
for the support of its own schools The
amendment was passed on the petition
of the California State Teachers Asso-
citation which met last year in San
jose 1t was designed to fix the mini
mum allowance at $S, but the 81 rate
was adopted as a compromise.
President Ronc0vieri says that the
amendment will prevent hostile
Board of Supervisors from ap-
propriating an insufficient amount for
school purposes. In 1908 the Board of
Supervisors allowed but 81 40 for each
cens;is child. Last year but So 20 was
allowed, and Roncovieri feared that
this year the sum would be less If the
amendment had not passed. The rest
of the revenue for schools, amounting
to nearly $1000,000, came from the
State.
The new State apportionment law
will give San Francisco but 500. 900
yearly in the future and Roncovieri
says that the 81 rate will realize about
100000 additional. Even these two
amounts combined. Roncovieri says,
are inadequate for the schools. but the
Supervisors have the power to levy
tax not to exceed 90 cents on every 800
for school purposes, which would fix
the maximum amount that may be ap
propriated by San Francisco at $780,

July 1 following. He identified two
checks one for S124 65 and the other
for $50 given him by the postmaster
and admitted that he had never per-
formed an hours service up to the time
he received the checks. He was work
ing at a locomotive works in Dunkirk
at the time, he said. Caldwell further
testified that he had never given any
of the money received from the post :
master to any one else and that the
HI Sl AC udQ hilON IL VI Ills appointment
was when he was handed the check
for s124 So.
Maurice Hooker, nephew of the
Judge, testified that he went to FIRE.
donia in January, 1902, remaining there
until April, 1904, securing an appoint
ment in the postoffice and attending
the normal school. He said he never
performed any service in the postoffice,
that he received his first pay in Feb
ruary, and each month afterward.
amounting TO salary of s400 a year.
He said that instead of doing the work
in the postoffice himself he arranged
with the postmaster to have it done,
the expense coming out of his salary
