tablish a gas producing plant in the
cities of the republic. They were also
granted the privilege of importing,
Tree of duty, except stamp tax, ma
chinery and material for carrying out
of that purpose. Upon securing a
franchise from the municipal authori-
ties of Mexico for a gas works in that
city, the Mexican National Gas COM
pany was formed and is now complet-
ing works to supply gas for fuel and
illumination of the 10000 inhabitants
of that city.
This is a luxury heretofore unknown
in the cities of Mexico, and both fuel
and illuminants are very expensive
throughout the country. more especial
ly in the capital city.
In the latter part of 1904 Mr.. Doheny
and his business associates organized
the Mexican Asphalt Paving and Con-
struction company. This company
was organized for the sole purpose of
finding use in Mexico for their as
phalt made from their heavy petro-
leum.
The company was very successful
both in finding very large and ex-
tensiVe market for its asphalt and
financially to it's stockholders. Miles
and miles of fine asphalt streets and
many more miles Of good oiled ma
cadam roads speak of the progress and
activities of the Mexican Asphalt Paw
ing and Construction company. The
officers of the company are: Charles
E. Harwood of Upland, Cal, presi-
dent; Mr.. Doheny, vice president and
general manager; and Mr.. Harold
Walker is the local manager in Mexico
City.
The demand for more asphalt roads
and streets is growing larger every
year, and 1t is evident that Manager
Wylie and his assistants of the petro-
leum companies will not be idle for the
want of occupation.
Mr.. Doheny, with j. c. Anderson
and Norman Bridge, organized the
American Petroleum company about
two years ago to operate in California
only.
Large holdings of possible oil lands
in Monterey were first acquired, which
were only slightly prospected. Later
they acquired a lease on eighty acres
of land at Sherman, just west of Los
Angeles. They bought not long after
tllis, 1400 acres of the richest oil land
in the country at a cost of over two
milli"~ dollars. This is situated in the
Coalinga district.
At the present time the company has
over two dozen producing wells that

average from 5000 to 5000 barrels daily.
Wells are constantly being drilled, and
the expectations of the management
are that within a year they will be
producing 10000 barrels a day.
This company's rapid rise to the
point of paying dividends is very re-
markable. They have paid dividends
from November, 1908. For the last six
months or more the common and pre-
ferred stock have received the same
percentage-6 per cent formerly, now
II per cent per annum, payable l per
cent monthly.

TEACHERS GIVEN
| HIGHER SALARIES
School Board Elects Present
Corps Again.
President Hills Reports That by
Economy the Deficit Has Been
Reduced.
WILL BE JUST TEN THOUSAND

Discussions OF the advisabilty of
Increasing the salaries OF the public
school teachers brought forth plenty
OF speeches last night at the adj
journed meeting of the school board.
The board finally voted to accept the
report OF the committee on teachers,
which gave some OF the teachers
slight increases in their salary. with
the salary question disposed OF the
board reelected all the present teach
ers unanimously. While the increases
are slight with the exception of four
teachers. increases were given TO all
teachers. who receive under $50 a
month.
Increases of salary were left Nth
the committee on teachers, which is
composed OF Trustees Ferguson.
Kelly and Clements and its report
was read to the board.
An amendment was offered to the
motion 20 receive the report by ex-
Iciuding the Increased salaries. Trus-
tee Jacobs said he was in favor OF
increasing teachers receiving $40 by
Increasing salary IS a month. and
those receiving under $50 a month
by increasing the salary $3.50 a
month, while teachers receiving over
$50 a month should not be given adj
vanees now. This seemed TO be the
spirit OF the majority.
Vice President winstead took the
chair and President Hills made a
short argument in favor OF increased
salaries. He discussed the Increases
from the point OF view OF justice. the
interest Of the public schools of Pa
dueah and the possibilities OF the
school board. President Hills said
that four teachers had been done an
injustice last year by not receiving
increases. and that be did not con-
slider that the public schools were re-
celving sufficient salary. He consid-
cred the young teachers the most
valuable asset to the schools. and
thought they should receive increases
10 encourage them to educate them
selves.
IN his speech he reviewed the
financial condition OF the school. Last
year the schools closed with a debt OF
about $4,000. This year the board
Is obligated for the sum OF $4,000.
but the schools will be closed with a
debt OF only $4,000 as compared
with $4,000 last year. The board IS
given assistance by the payment OF
money due on back taxes, and can
pay on the debt i'm July. President
Hills expressed himself as fearing
some OF the older teachers would re-.
sign. and he said the younger teach
ers would not be encouraged II some
salaries were not increased. on roll
