Building of docks or wharyes out
to some of the more distant wells
is one of the items up for considera-
ton. Already one pier has been
built out LOO feet, and others are
under consideration Now, however.
the Government has stepped in and
prescribed that wells may not be
bored or piers erected beyond five or
six hundred feet from the shore; and
this will make the industry rather
more coastwiSe.

the Consolidated Oil Company came

Quite few of the people refused
to sell, remaining and securing dam
ages from the company In some
cases, for the unsightly dsrricks
erected all about them; but usually
contenting themselves with the rich
royalties paid by the company for
permission TO erect pulleys on their
lands. Furthermore, the company
granted the land owners the right

their homes. so that the most OF
them were quite satisfied, and grad
ually became used to seeing the der
ricks. With SO a lot royalty for
four years, besides the gas IN the

went so far as TO sell their natural
gas at $3.50 month, and then the

barrels of oil is taken out each day.
The greater part of this oil is sold

10 say that the Standard here, at
least, has no hand in setting the
prices. How much more oil the sea
may contain TO Offset the monopoly,

may feast his eyes on the strange
spectacle OF half a hundred derricks
washed by each incoming wave, and
lending their creaking to the uni
versal chorus of the sea.
Summerland's story is best told by
its own people, in their own vernacu-
lar:
"Old Smith Cole, still living near
here, discovered oil here bouts, in
deggin' for water, bout twelve years
ago. Folks say he'd gone down
about eighty or ninety feet, when
he struck ii, and IL cum so fast he'd
had all he could do TO haul it out in
buckets"
This, however. was on the land
ward side of the tracks.
When the oil boom began, people
started drilling promiscuously, until
the sound of boring was rampant in
the land, and wells rose, or, better,
descended, everywhere.
Then, whether by spiritual or
other direction is not known, a GER
tain ]. P. Treadwell conceived the
idea of going into the sea bottom
after oil, and boring was begun at
that place.
TreadwelPs methods have been
followed pretty closely ever since,
and were about as follows:

for the asking-so long as
you own a place by the sea. At
Summerland, out in the Pacific, der
ricks have been erected as far as
1900 feet from the shore, wells
drilled thirty feet down into the bed
of the sea. and the oil is being pump
ed landward in quantities sufficient
to answer in the affirmative the eter-
nal oil question of, Does it pay?"
The story of the oil from the sea
is rather romantic. AS they tell it at
Summerland, it was the spiritualists
who gave the first inkling OF its
presence. They announced a mes
sage from another world, that if one
should bore, not deep, but just be-
low the sands, the oil would appear
in paying amounts. And so men
dug, and bored and built derricks,
and today Summerland is one of the
Vests really queer corners.
