Place for Mir. Craig.

Unless the program IS changed, Speaker Cannon will tomorrow an- nounce the House Committees.
 The only doubt about the Alabama assignments heretofore mentioned in The Advertiser dispatches Is as to where Representative Craig will be placed. It Is hoped he will go in Pub lie Buildings and Grounds. as another Democratic vacancy was made on that comnllttee whenf MT. Bowers tMissis- sippil Twas transferred the other day to Appropriations in place of Repre- sentative Taylor (Alabama) who IS going on Rivers and Harbors.
 If MT. Craig does not land on Pub lie Buildings and Grounds it will be because quite a number of second. term members were pressed for the same committee.
 Representative Hobson is believed to be slated for Naval Affairs in accord ance with his wishes, and as recom- mended by the Alabama delegation.
 Representative Heflin is already re- ceiving letters from leading firms en. gagged in the cotton business express ing the belief that he is on the right track in the resolution introduced by him Monday and the explanation given out by him for publication.

Just this side of where the other com.

that there are from twenty to thirty
barrels of fine lubricating oil escaping
down the river every day, and that
farmerss dip 1t up to grease their ma
chinery, From all reports this oil
is way beyond the ordinary variety.
In that it yields higher grade prod.

Al present there is much rush to
Virginia City, in the extreme south
western part of Utah, where oil has
been discovered, but the indications
and surface flow do not compare with
the field just below us. It is now
extremely probable that the most pro
