LOCATORS SECURE EVERY
ACRE OF OIL PROPERTY
Residents of CoaIinga Lead in Ac-
quirement of Land Held by
Southern Pacific

COALINGA, Cal, June 24.-Every
acre of the Southern Pacific company's
undeveloped oil land in this field has
been located on during the past few
days. Several hundred locators are all
Coalinga residents, and for the most
part the move is a concerted scheme,
with the intention of perfecting
strong organization.
A suit to test the validity of the
railroad company's deed to certain
sections of It's undeveloped holdings
is now pending and the result will
largely determine the course of the
recent locators. When the land was
decided to the railroad company by the
government mineral lands were re-
served, and as these sections have
since proved to be oil bearing, the
railroads claim to them by the agri-
cultural grant is alleged to be invalid.
About 10000 acres will be affected.
