large size pipe will be laid to con-
vey the water to the reservoir. The
estimated cost of the proposed inn
provements will reach into the thou
sands but If executed will solve the
water question of the city for years
to come, AS in the case of most cities
during the dry season there is a great
scarcity of water but as per planned
by sinking the dam to actual bed
rock it is believed that there will be
a sufficiency of water for the needs
of the city for all purposes. At last
falls election the voters decided to
bond the city for what is believed
will be all that is needed to meet the
expense of these improvements. and
the bonds have been taken up. and
the money for the same is on hand

DOUBTED NEWS OF FIGHT.
Crew of Alaskan Steamer Learns
Truth But Docs Not Believe.

Seattle, Wash.-''Who won the
fight?" was the first question the
crew of the steamer Riverside, eight
days out from Cordova. yelled TO the
longshoremen on the pier as the yes
sci tied up.
In view of the fac, that the River
side is equipped with wireless tele-
graph, the question surprised the men
on the dock until the wireless opera
tor stepped ashore and explained.
The Riverside left Cordova July 8.
On the afternoon of the Fourth, the
crew laid off work and beseiged the
wireless room. Jeffries was a rank
favorite. while Operator Russell was
the sole johnson man aboard. Late
in the afternoon, Cordova answered
Russells continuous question: who
won?" with Jeffries" Then the
pitching of the ship Jared the de-
tector and cut off communication.
Joy was supreme with the crew.
Five minutes later Russell caught Cor
dova again, and the message proved
to be; "Jeffries knocked out in the
fifteenth round. Johnson had every
thing his own way" johnson won,"
shouted Russell, but no one would
believe him. He argued and reiterat-
ated to no avail until the end of the
voyage.

only about two billion barrels remain
in the ground in that state, while
in the proved fields OF California,
government geologists estimate the
supply in the ground at eight and one
half billion barrels, without taking
into account new fields that undoubt-
edly will be discovered In this state.
The Ohio-Indiana fields, which
rank next in importance to Pennsyl-
vania, have an area of 2040 square
miles and the supply in the ground Is
placed at three billion barrels. In
Texas and Louisiana the fields have
an area of not more than $50 square
miles only a small portion of which
now are to be considered highly pro-
ductive.
Taking these facts into consldera-
tion, It will be readily seen that CAL
ifornia will, a comparatively few
years hence, be depended upon to
supply the United States with illum-
mating. lubricating and fuel oils.

CALIFORNIA OIL.
United States Will Probably Have
to Rely on That Supply.

San Francisco, Cal.-California un-
doubtedly will within a few years be
called upon to supply not only the
United States, but practically the
whole North American continent with
Illuminating, lubricatng and fuel
oils.
A study of the petroleum industry
of the United States shows that the
California oil fields are practically in
their infancy with production in
creaslng by laps and bounds, while
the proved oil bearing area is being
augmented daily. The oil fields of
other sections of the country have
reached their maximum production
and are on the decline, leaving. Cali
fornia in a class by itself as a pro-
ducer of the inflammable fluid
The total proved petroleum territory
of California, according to the United
States geological survey is $50 square
miles, or total of slightly more than
100000 acres. This area would ac-
commodate something like 10000
