Considerable excitement has been aroused in oil in this town by the re- port that a trace of the oleaginous fluid has been found in the we'll now being sunk by Elmore brothers in the edge of the Wallapai valley. Water taken from the well is said to show a scum of oily matter, which the town experts declare to be petroleum. A seepage of paratfin is found in the high bluff on the Stockton Hill road, and this is taken as an indication of the presence of petroleum in the rocks of that section. We hope the boys may get it, and the bigger the quantity the greater will be Kingman's prosperity and the prosperity of the country at large.

Jail Break

Last Monday evening Pat Drummy and Felipe Pacheco broke jail and got away in the darkness following the
 break. Supper had been served the men in the corridor of the jail and as soon as Drummy and Pacheco had fin lshed they sprang upon the tanks and pulled out lattice frame in the build- ing and crawled through. They went over the wall and disappeared in the evening gloom. When the jailer went in few minutes after the two Mexi- can inmates informed the officer what had happened, but no trace of the men could be found. Drummy broke jail about year ago and was captured at Ely, Nevada, and brought back about two months ago. He is under indict. ment for burglary and breaking jail. The Indian Paclfeco, is charged with burglary, for which he was held to the grand jury. It is probable that Drum my will soon be recaptured.
 opil Ol Cdho lIOul ulIC AuohuNS SOuh'y institution have been numerous and will continue to be of frequent occur renee unless this old fire trap is re- placed with modern jail building and the necessary cells. Every grand Jury that has been convened in King man the past fifteen years has con- demned both jail and building, but until the past year no effort has been made to replace it with a suitable prison for the keeping of malefactors. When congress passes the bill author izing the building of courthouse and jail we believe the board of supervis- ors should tale into consideration the future needs of the county and erect a jail building along the most modern lines and capable of fulfilling future needs.

himself and will be 6x25 feet. The
smaller room, 12x25 fet, is for the
senator's secretary.
One of the convenient features of
the building will be the conference
room back of the main stairs on the
second floor. 1t will be 52x74 feet, will
seat 300 people easily, and is intend
ed for public hearings. Not the least
Interesting room of the building will
be the dining room. 30x65 feet on the
secono floor overlooking the capitol

Here the senators hope to be able to
take of their mush and mile and sem
ate pie in something more of peace
and solitude than they have been
able to find in the senate refectory at
the north end of the capitol.
Many members find their rooms in
the office building so convenient that
they absent themselves more freely
than before from the house chamber.
So 1t is expected to prove on the SEN
ate side. especially when Superinten-
dent Elliott Woods gets installed in
each office the occupant to see at
glance just what is going on in the

This is an exceptionally low rate
and when it is taken into considera-
tiOn that the company will be out
considerable for use of tank cars and
other equipment during the trips to
and from Grand Junction and the
time the tanks are being unloaded, it
may be seen that the company is fur
nishing the oil just about at actual
cost.
Thus another long step toward
protecting the fruit crops of the val
ley next season from the frost dam
age has been taken and the question
of securing the oil at a reasonable
rate has been solved. The Con-
tinental company will doubtless be
able to furnish any amount of oil
needed in the valley. The company's S
interest in the valley and readiness
to assist in the great work of saving
the Grand valley fruit crops deserves
commendation.
Mr.. Glassford, the manager for
this district. took the matter up with
the company as soon as the smudge
agitation began to assume proper
tions and he has used his influence
to secure the low rate on the oil
1t has been reported unofficially
from time to time that the railroad
company would carry the oil into the
valley for half the regular rate or
less. There is every indication that
the grower will be able to secure his
smudge oil for from 4 to . cents per
gallon, maybe less.
The following letter received today
by Mr.. Glassford from c. w. Tingley,
special agent for the company and
connected with the Pueblo division
office of the company. tells of the
companys position in the matter:
Pueblo, Colo, Sept. 2, 1908.
.Mr. ]. C. Glassford. S. S. A.
Grand Junction, Colo, 100
"Dear Sir: to your sew
eral letters regarding smudge oil for
Grand Junction, Palisade, Frulta,
Delta and Paonia districts including
Montrose, colo.
1.-The matter has been carefully
gone over with the result that we
quote you smudge oil at " cents IN
tank cars, f. o. b. Florence, Colo.
I'VE will sell to any Fruitgrowers
association or any organization desir-
ing to buy. -
"You will understand of course
that at this figure we are making no
money whatever and we are of1erlne
the oil at the price simply with the
idea of assisting the fruit growers IN
saving their crops.
I'VE appreciate the fact that the
successful fruit crop is of vital I'M.
portance to the general welfare OF
our business and that we should DO
everything in our power to make the
saving of the crops success.
yours truly,
&C. w. TINGLEY."

new OFFICE
IS NEARLY DONE
Especial to The sentinel.

Washington, Sept. 3.-That pa
latial establishment for the comfort
of senators, the new senate office
building, it is now announced, will
be ready for occupancy by the time
congress meets next December 1t
is now about so per cent completed
and the purpose is to rush it to COM
pletion in the next few months.
When finished the new senate Of
flee building will have cost $4,000,
900, inclusive of the site. This seems
a large sum to provide office rooms
for 80 members of the senate and
than the cost of the house office
building. which was occupied early
the last session of congress.
There seems genuine need for
an office building of some sort both
for the senate and the house mem
bers. In the capitol there are not
enough committee rooms to go
around. Some of the senators have
littly dingy rooms down in the ter
race and many are obliged to have
their offices in the old Malby build
ing, known as the senate annex,
short distance northwest of the cap
itol. The senator who is able to get
an office room inside the capitol
building, even if it is dismal and
cramped. considers himself FORUM
ate.
Under the present dispensation,
the republicans kindly see to it that
the annex is inhabited chiefly by
democrats, though so prominent
republican as Hepburn has to accept
an office in that uninviting structure.
When the senate office building is
completed it will be connected with
the capitol by subway, as is the
house office building, and in the sub
way will be sidewalk and an cleo
trio car line. One will be able to
descend an elevator in the capitol,
get into an electric car and get out
at the foot of an elevation in the Of
flee building. The subway itself is
already finished.
Each senator will be entitled to a
suite, consisting OF two handsome
rooms and private bath. The build
ing will have 80 such office suites
in the three principal stories above
the basement, 10 single offices and
SIX committee rooms, besides a con-
ference room and a dining room.
The larger room of each office suite

cHINA's COUNTLESS MILLIONS.

While the United States is ap-
preaching the 1O0,000.000 mark in
the matter of population, each dec
ade showing a heavier increase than
the ten years Immediately preceding,
we are naturally inclined to specu-
late as to what the conditions will be
when this country shall be as dense

There are no statistics regarding
the population of the Flowery King
dom, and the estimates vary by many
millions. Some years ago an Amer
lean minister placed the estimate as
low as 25O,O00,000. The average
guess (and it is a guess) is between
400 million and 500 million.

COLORED BISHOP
GOES AFTER TAFT
Especial to The Sentinel. ]


New York. Sept. 3.-Henry Wat
terson of Kentucky, editor of the
Louisville Courier-Journal. has Civ
en- out in this city an advance copy
of an address which is to be issued
by Bishop Alexander Walters of the
African NJ. E. church
In his letter Bishop Walters al
ludes to Judge Taft as "a party to
the blacklist conspiracy ever perpe-
trated against negro soldiers"
Bishop Walters accuses President
Roosevelt and the republican candi-
date of having practically endorsed
the Lily White movement in the
south, which has for it's ultimate OBJ
ject the practical elimination of the
negro from politics." and adds that
the appointment of the Hon. Luke
e. Wright of Tennessee, an ex-Con-
federate soldier and democrat. to sue
ceed Mr.. Taft as secretary of war
was "a big bid for democratic sup
port"
1.-The republican party" he con-
tinues. has shown itself impotent
to enact further Legislation in our
interest. This is evident from it's
failure to have congress pass bill
to have lynchers tried in federal
courts"
"The democratic party he as
serts, is the only party that can
change the discriminatory legislation
which has been enacted against us
without a great political upheaval
amounting almost to a revolution.
Wherever we have had sense enough
to help the democratic party. notably
in New York City. democrats have al
ways shown Willingness to treat us
with consideration.
After stating that he had been in
formed that DR.. Washington had
abused him for urging colored people
to vote for Bryan, the bishop de-
clared that he merely urged colored
people to divide their vote and de-
eide for themselves the question at
issue. although he himself would
vote for Bryan.

FIGHTING THE CHOLERA.
Average of Fifty New Cases Daily II
 Manila.

Manila, Sept 22.-The vigorous campaign for the eradication of chol- era is believed to be preventing any appreciable increase in the spread of the disease There is an average of fifty new cases daily. although to- day promises to show a record ma terially lower. Tn official circles 1t i Is maintained that there is still pos sibility that the city may be ridded of the cholera before the arrival of the American battleship feet.
 The campaign instituted by the au- thorities against the plague proceeds with increasing vigor. Although the Filipinos continue to conceal strick- en patients through ignorance and fear, a house to house inspection now in progress Is disclosing practically all the cases. Four chemical engines and dozen big street sprinkleTs are being used with good effect in gen. eral. disinfection of all tainted sec tions.
 Many persons have heroically vol unteered their services as nurses or inspectors. number of firms have offered to fit up temporary hospitals for the accommodation of patients and a ward of Mary Johnson Memor- ial hospital is being prepared for the reception of cholera victims. The Roman Catholic authorities have off, fered the use of a large convent with in the walled city for the same pur- pose.

BODY IN SWAMP
Woman Has Been Missing Since Sep
 tember 7.

Old Lyme, Sept. 22.-The body ot Katie Yurkiewsiz, who had been mis- sing since September [, was found in small swamp in the northeastern part of Old Lyme yesterday afternoon under circumstances leaving no doubt that she had been murdered. For about year past the woman had been living as housekeeper with Pole in a house situated in the Grassy Hill section, and about week ago the man went to New York. In his absence another man of dark features and black moustache was seen about the house and 1t was reported that he belonged in New Jersey. A few days ago the man who had been liv- ing in the house with the woman returned from New York, When he went to the house he found nobody there. Nothing, however, lad been disturbed. The deeds of the proper ty, $16.50 in money and all of the woman's clothing were in the house in the places where they were wont to be kept. AS the woman was not in evidence and did not put in an ap- pearance, the man who had lived with her notified Sheriff Sidney A. Brown of New London of her disap- pearance and of his suspicious of foul play.
 Yesterday Sheriff Brown, with States Attorney Hadali A. Hull Of New London came to Old Lyme and organized a searching party of about thirty. They went to the house where the woman had lived and then searched the fields and woods in the vicitiny. About o'clock in the after noon, Jewett Rawson, boy of 16 who had accompanied the party, found the body of Katie Yurkiewsiz in slough hole in the swamp. Over the body was stone weighing about 200 pounds. When the stone was raised from the mire, knee protrud- ed The body was taken out and found to be in good condition, hav- ing been preserved by the cold water flowing through the swamp. Over the corpse, when found, there were al- so some leaves and grasses besides the large stone. When slain the woman had worn her ordinary dress. The body was removed to the house near Grassy Hill and Coroner Brown was notified. He will make an investiga- tion of the circumstances of the mur- der. The only clue to the murderer Is that given above. It is supposed that the man with the Slack nous tache went back to New Jersey.

MIX DEALERS MET
Wlll Psy $50 Eipe For Lowering
 Price of bIlk.

A number of milk dealers from Waterbury, Watertown. Middlebury and Morris held meeting In the Town hall. Watertown. last night and organized the Waterbury MIR Producers association, the object as one of them put 1t, ito look out Tor themselves. A set of rules were adopted, one of which states that any dealer who shall sell milk to the Waterbury market at less than the price fixed by the association shall pay fine of $50 to The asso, citation. Prices shall be determined twice a year and oftener II neces. sary. The wholesale price was fixed at AZ cents. A Pierpont and oth' CTS wanted 1t made four, but owing to the efforts of Hans Rasmussen ana others 1t was finally voted to push the figure up to AZ cents to th- farmers. The retailers will nave their inning later on. A very con- siderable number of milk dealers have not yet affiliated themselves with the association and some or them claim they don't intend to: They will fix their own prices ana do business on that basis as long as 1t pays and if the time comes when they cannot get living out Of It on that plan they will step aside ana leave the field to others.
 It is tough fight and the end IS not yet. Those who favor the asso- ciation claim that by concerted ac- tion they can make more money and have less labor, while others reply that they are doing well enough al the present prices and don't desire any change.
