S. p. Sloss was down Saturday from
his ranch near Peachblow, and as he
had couple of dollars that were get
ting heavy, he lust dropped them in

drift fence in the Lime creek section Of
the forest reserve, which the forestry
department assisted the stockmen in
building, Mr.. Sloss says it is great
help to the stockmen ana enables them
to utilize the range TO much better al.
vantage than ever before. Sloss is
mighty glad that fence was built. He
helped the government to build it and
he isn't bit ashamed Of it, either.

oLo CANNON CAN'T BE BROKEN.
Armament OF Old Craft was Made to
Last

A good story is being told at the
Mare Island navy yard concerning a
San Francisco contractor who bought
all the old obsolete cannon which were
sold at the local yard some time ago
The cannon were all of the smooth
bore kind, and in order that they
might be easily handled for shipment
to the city all sorts of schemes were
tried to endeavor to break them with
dynamite and blasting powder, but
they were unsuccessful.
An electric drill machine was even
set up at the yards and the cannon
were drilled full of holes in order to
weaken them for breaking open with
wedges, but this was also unsuccess
full. The cannon were then taken
away and the last heard of them they
were corralled in the hills near Point
Richmond, where an effort was being
made to break them open with dyna-
mite again.
The cannon which proved to be so
strong were among the armament Of
the war craft which sailed the seas

RICH oil FIELD ON SEA
MARINE Ell. DORADO REPORTED IN
GULF OF MEXICO. @
Discovered by Naval officer Who
Says Petroleum Covers an Area
of 400 Miles and Is Four
Feet Deep.

New Orleans.-About 100 miles
south OF the coast of Louisiana and
$50 miles from New Orleans Lieut.
John c. Soley of the United States
navy has recently discovered a field
of oil 400 miles in area and four feet
deep floating on the surface of the
Gulf of Mexico.
The news of this find. which is
worth several millions, as soon as it
became known to the southern ship
ping centers, created almost as much
interest to treasure hunters as the dis
covery of gold in the Klondike, and al
ready along the wharves of Mobile
and the levees of New Orleans, where
sailormen gather in low-jowled build
ings, the fever of treasure trove is in
their veins, and they are planning ex
petitions such as made the old argo-
nauts famous.
No similar event has so gripped the
avaricious instincts OF the southern
sailors and it is doubtful If such an
unusual discovery has been made be-
fore.
For several days past the United
whose direction Lieut. Soley was work
ing, has been receiving hundreds of
communications from men interested
in the venture and who are inquiring
for charts plotting the exact location
of the sea where the Oil can be found.
The scene of activity along some of
the wharves has been unusual, and it
is said that some of the keenest bust
ness men not only of the south, but
all over the country. have expressed
the intention of sending out searching
parties, comprising experts in naviga-
ton and high-salaried oil testers. to
locate the oil and to report on the
practicability of making it paying
venture
An Unsuitable desire for rapidly &C
quired riches has grown among the
maritime men along the gulf coast
similar to the excitement of the gold
fever of 40, and wild scramble for
the floating oil field threatens to be in
full sweep before another week has
passed.
According to one of the prospectors
who has made arrangements to char
ter large tank steamer and to install
a powerful pumping apparatus for
drawing the oil from the sea. he fully
expects to reap rich harvest, provid-
ed the survey steamer which he has
sent to the oil field makes a favorable
report on the quality of the oil and the
chances of getting it aboard.
Even in some of the most conserv
atiye commercial houses careworn
business men have turned away from
the perpetual grind of their daily du-
ties and have expressed more than
perfuntory interest in the discovery.

The extraordinary popularity Of fine

choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine

cANTEEN FOR SOLDIERS.

Franklin Murphy, president of the
board Of managers of government
homes for disabled volunteer soldiers.
said, in an interview in Los Angeles
Saturday, that the board is unanimous
ly in favor of restoring the canteen in
soldiers homes. 1t has been the ex-
perience of Mr.. Murphy and his seTow
workers that the adjustment of the
canteen was a mistake, that it has
worked harm instead of good, and that
its restoration would do away with
evils that have grown up by reason Ct
the canteen's suppression.
The experience of Mr.. Murphy has
been the experience OF practically all
the army officers and others who have
made a careful study OF the cant4en
question. The thought of the govern
ment being in the liquor business is
extremely distasteful to many people
who regard intoxicants as an unmixcd
evil. But it is better to deal with the
evil intelligently, recognizing II as an
evil, than to shut our eyes and refuse
to see ii at all.
There have been more assertions
from the army since the cant zen was
abolished than ever before in the his
tory OF the regular esta blishmen1
There have been more cases of drunk
enness and of disorder among the en-
listed men than ever before. We very
much doubt the Brownsville riot,
which has been so widely advertised,
would have occurred If there had been
a canteen at the post at which the ne
gro troops were stationed This be-
cause the men would have measur-
ably satisfied their appetites foe intox-

ALIMONY AND REMARRIAGE,

In the district court. the Other day.
Judge c. W. Morse handed down an
opinion to the effect that a second
marriage does not relieve a divorced
husband from the payment of alinlony
to his first wife. The decision seems
eminently sound. There is no good
reason why a man whose wife has Sc
cured a divorce from him, with a judg-
ment for alimOny. should escape his
obligation when he enters into a sec
ond marriage contract. The man in this
case will, therefore, be under the neces-
sity of supporting two families.
Why shouldn't he? He agreed 30
support his first wife. He has now
agreed to support his second wife. If
he is unable at present to support both
of them as they should be supported
he will have to work harder and longer
hours. And the exercise will be good
for his soul He will fini that what
some writer's call progressive poIyg-
amy is rather expensive. It Is to be
hoped that the court will see to It that
he does not escape any of his obliga-
lions.

The NATIONS GROWTH.

One of the most interesting govern
volume of statistics from the depart
ment of commerce and labor. In the
200 pages which constitute the volume
is a series of figure pictures showing
the growth of the country from 1900 to
1906. Statistics of every character are
presented and the work as a whole is
most valuable for reference purposes.
The volume starts with a comparison of
population between 1900 and and 1906.
1t is shown that during the 106 years
covered, the population per square mile
has increased from six and one-half per
square mile to a little under twenty
eight. In 1900 the per capita circulation
of money was So. In 1906 the per cap
tia circulation was 1922. Hardly less
phenomenal has been the increase in
per capita wealth, though the figures
for only fifty-six years are presented.
They show a growth from 1907 in 1850
to s1,31O in 1906.
Prior to 1875 no record of bank de-
posits was kept In the year named the
aggregate was a little more than ST.
OOO. 900, 600. In 1906 the deposits had in
creased to s12. $50, 900, 600. The first rec
ord of savings bank deposits appears in
1920. when the total was about 81 ,OOO,-
900. In 1906 the savings bank depositors
numbered more than 5000, 900 individ-
uals, and they had to their credit So
25O, OOO 600.
The volume takes up also the mat
ter OF imports and exports. We are in
formed that in 1900 citizens of the
United States imported from foreign
lands goods to the value of $50, 000, 900.
Our imports for the fiscal year 1906
were s.. 226, 900. 600. In 1900 we exported
s71,OOO,00O worth of goods, in 1906, ST.
IA, 100000 worth. A summary says:
There were increases in cotton pro-
duction from 155, $50 bales in 1900 to H.
$780, 900 bales in 1906; in sugar produc-
ton, which amounted to less than IA. 900
tons in 1925, to $50, Ala tons in 1906, and
in corn. the production of which in 1910
was 377.000 900 bushels, to 1927. 416. O91
bushels in 1906. The value of manu-
featuring products has grown from
$1,000, 100000 in 1850 to nearly s15,OO0,-
100000 in 1906"
There are no possible methods of
comparison between 1900 and 1906 in
many lines of industry, because many
OF them were undreamed of at the GEM
tury's beginning. There were no rail-
roads. no telegraph and telephone lines
no great steamships. no automobiles, no
gold and silver and copper mines. To-
day we take these things as so much a
matter of course that we find it diff
cult to understand how our forefathers
ever got along without them.

INFANTS MUCH FOR LITTLE.

W
The other day In Washington a civil
service examination was advertised.
The government wanted for one of the
bureaus of the department of agricIl-
ture an individual of wide knowledge.
Among his announced duties are: The
contents of birds crops; the distribu-
ton of birds into their several classes:
the recognition and classification Of
predatory insects that form part of the
food of birds; the classification of seeds
and bits of plants eaten by birds; to
know the damage done by birds to fruit
and crops, or the protection afforded
by birds to fruit and crops.
Thus ii is necessary for the man who
is given this position to be an ornithol-
ogist, an entomologist, botanist and
a horticulturist. And he must have had
the advantage of special study in each
of these lines. Now what do you think
the government is willing to pay for
such man? In a second rate agricul-
tural college he would receive some
thing like $4,000 or 50, 900 a year. In a
first-class university he might receive
as much as $1,000 a year. And his year
in either case would mean the school
year, covering a period of nine or ten
months.
The government is willing to pay him
the splendid sum of 500 month. Does
anybody suppose a really competent
man can be found for the money? We
hardly think so. Nor do we believe the
government is entitled to a man of the
character described for so ridiculous a
sum. No private or semi-public insti-
tuition would dream of offering a real
expert any such figure.
And this brings us to the subject of
government salaries generally. The
last congress increased the salaries of
future members of that body. and rlany
members who had already been re-
elected voted for the increase, from
5000 to $500 a year, just 30 per cent.
The raise was made on the plea that
the cost of living has grown so heavy
that it is impossible to maintain any
sort of residence in Washington during
the sessions for less. But congress
failed to raise the pay of the clerks and
other government employees, though the
cost Of living has increased as much for
them as for the honorables.
This country is too rich and too great
niggardly manner. There are some
sinecures in the government, but you
don't find any red-dollar-a-month
men holding them. The small-salaried
people are the ones that do the work
for the fellows that draw the high pay.
Isn't it about time to equalize thu pres
sure just a trifle?
