From the reading of the local items
in Wednesdays Journal regarding
Malcolm & Dyer's purchase of the A.
d. Ward business, the public might
possibly infer that the office and
working force would be discontinued
at the A. d. Ward store. The facts
are that the offices at each store and
the clerks and plumbers at each store
will continue the same as in the past,
Malcolm & Dyer having arranged to
retail the A. d. Ward employees in
their employ.

corner of Water and Bridge streets,
where the thermometer at the Burns
pharmacy indicated IA below. Up on
the higher land on the west side of the
river the reports varied from 2 to s
degrees below zero.

M0ToRMEN IN sHIRTWAIsTs
Boys Poke Fun at Street Car Men,
But Women Admire the Hot

New York.-Motormen on the Sec.

beauty for the hot weather season.
They are working without coats, wear
ing dark blue flannel shirt-waists
which, If hung on dummies before a

Very neat and tasty"
When the motormen appeared in
their waiting room at Ninety-sixth
street the other morning a notice in.
formed them that each must get i'm
mediately shirt-waist and a black
necktie to wear with it. Superintend
ent Henshaw informed them the order
was issued that they might be more
comfortable. The motormen rejoiced
until they learned a shirt-waist costs
$1.45.
The order was obeyed, and womer
on the cars were quick to observe
how nice the motormen looked"
Boys on the sidewalk yelled "Get
coat!" at motormen. Truckmen who
had to turn out of the car tracks were
really rude.
Say, missus," scornfully cried bis
chap on a three-horse cart to a youps
motorman, you'll be wanting to vote

Sensible ideas OF
A PRACTICAL FARMER
Rankin's Ideas,

David Rankin, the greatest cattle
ana hog feeder of the world. and one
OF the largest farmers, saws:
i have been asked whv a,wavs
leeu all my corn, and I always say
1lrst | find it profitable to feed it.
because in that way can get full val.
ue out OF it, and secondly, also gain
an lmmese amount of fertilizer, and
then to haul my corn to the railroad
10 snip would be a big job. And,
further, do not believe in selling raw
material. You see, run my farming
business something on the the plan
OF the manufacturing industries of the
country. l want to sell the finished
product, and can do so only by feeding
all raise to stock. If by doing so,
gain only anaverage of $1.OO a head
for the cattle and hogs l feed, you
see 1t pays me. But, of course. ex-
pect to make more than that.
would recommend to every far.
mer to feed his crops rather than
haul the grain off the place. My OBJ
servation is that great many farm
ers do not carry out their work as
far as they can. They sell too much
raw material and not enough finished
product. 1t is true, there are years
that the return from a crop might be
greater, but year in and year out it
will pay you to feed all you raise.
you must have a fixed way to do
things-system, suppose it would be
called-if you ever expect to amount
to anything.
What would you think of a car
penter who would come to build a
house for you without square or a
level? Don't you lose sight of the
fact that farmer, of all business
men, must have fixed methods and
cut to the line every way to get the
most out of everything.
There are very few merchants, and
equally as few manufacturing con

their profits are practically nothing

Leasing of California Oil Lands
Three Million Acres Withdrawn Pending Legislation
Statement by the United States Geological Survey

In connection with the recent action
of the administration in Withdrawing
from entry over 10000 acres of public
petroleum lands in California, Wyom-
ing, Utah and Oregon, the following
statement, given out by DR.. Z. w.
Hayes, chief geologist of the United
States geological survey, has been sent
the Financier by the secretary OF the
interiors
ITO remedy the present unsatisfac-
tory conditions by which public oil
lands have to be entered under law
framed primarily to provide for placer
gold mining entries, 1t is generally ad-
mitted by those interested in the eco
nomical development of oil lands that
a radical revision of the American MIN
ing laws is necessary. Anticipating
that congress will recognize and meet
this evident need, the secretary of the
interior has withdrawn from all forms
of entry all vacant public lands deslg-
mated by the geological survey as PROB
ably containing oil and gas. This eX-
ecutive action is, however, only tenn
pCrary, and is intended to preserve the
status quo until congress acts.
when the present placer mining law
was enacted probably no one in con-
gress or out had any idea that II
would ever be made to cover mineral
deposits so far removed in every essen
tial characteristic from the gold
bearing gravels as are oil and gas
Yet when oil was found on the pubic
lands no other law was on the statute
books except the placer law under
which title to it could be acquired, and
this anomalous and wholly unsatisfac-
tory condition still holds-to the great
detriment both of the government and
of the oil industry.
1.-THE fundamental basis of location
under the placer law is discovery, and
the courts have held uniformly that
there can be no legal location until
there has been a discovery. But in the
nature of the case there can be no dis
covery of oil until a we'll has been
drilled at great expense, since ordinari-
ly there are no surface indications of
the oil and the we'll must be drilled
upon purely geological inference. It
follows, therefore, that the driller will
be wholly unprotected against rival
claimants to the land until he has
completed his first we'll or he will be
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

forced to make a false claim to discov-
ery on which to base his location.
zone very common method of eVad-
ing the law is to locate oil under the
guise of a gypsum claim. In many OF
the California oil land fields the sur
face soil contains a small amount OF
gypsum, although rarely in sufficient
quantity or purity to be profitably
mined, even if favorably located for
transportation and market. 1t affords
a pretext, however, for location under
the placer law, and large numbers or
claims have been patented where II Is
a matter of common knowledge that
the real object is to acquire title to the
oil. In this way land worth thousands
of dollars an acre has been acquired
from the government for $3.50 an acre
and this without oil development
Moreover, it is not generally the man
of small means, but rather the wealthy
corporation, that resorts to this subter-
fuge to secure title.
"Although many of the oil fields in
the public land states, and particularly
those in California, are in regions
wholly devoid of agricultural possibill-
ties, no sooner is a successful well
drilled than the entire district is COW
cred by homestead and scrip entries
the purpose of which is to secure title
to the oil under cover of the agricul-
tural land laws. 1t is to meet these
conditions that a thorough revision or
the law is needed.
"Any law which will adequately meet
the requirements of the case must rec
ognize the fundamental difference be-
tween oil and gas and other minerals
namely, mobility. These elusive prod
ucts can be drawn from distance un-
derground across boundary lines, and
exclusive title to the product is ac-
uuired only after it reaches the sur
face. 1t follows, therefore, that oil can
be disposed of by the government or
other owner of the land in which 1t
occurs only as a commodity and not In
terms of acres like coal or other min
erals occupying fixed locations. This
difference is so we'll recognized that 1t
has determined the leasing system
which is practically universal in all the
oil fields where the land is In private
ownership. The government cannot do
better than to adopt the plan which
has been worked out through long ex-
