LETTER CARHIERs LOSE.

Washington Dec. @S.--By n decision
of the interstate commerce commission,
handed down today. the National Asso-
citation OF Letter Carriers lost Its caac
against n large number Of railroad
lines. The roads filed tariffs with the
commission providing for special re-
duced round-trip fares on the certin-
cate plan in connection with the ma
tional convention of the association,
held at St. Paul. Mimi. in 1909. such re-
duced fares being conditioned on the
presentation of 1000 or more ccrt,n-
Gates. Less than 1000 certificates wero
available and therefore the reduced
fares for the return trip were denied.
The commission upholds the railroads
for refusing the reduced fares under
the circumstances.

.UTAH GAINS IN ITS
PRODUCTION OF OIL
With Wyoming II Produced 22.135
Barrels During 1900. an Increase
or Almost 20 Per Cent

The advance chapter OF the
geological surveys volume, Mineral
Resources of the United States" for
1903, on the production OF petroleum
is now in press and will be ready for
distribution about Jan. /.
In 1907 the oil product OF the
United states. which had been ncreas-
ing raEidlr in previous years. made
phenomenal gain---ovcr 80 per cent
and reached the great total OF 1867
G55,%@5 bbls. This gain was due to the
sudden development OF the Illinois
field and to great increases in the
fields farther west. in Oklahoma and
California. In 1908 and 1903 this
production was sustained and has
oven increased though by no great
percentage In 1908 the quantity pro-
duccd rose to lIS.j27.355 bbls.. and in
900 also the record showed Slight
gain---thc total being ls2,134.2Ti bbs
but there wax Il decline In value
from s1290T9,lS4 In 1908 to S12S,-
2+S,7S3 in 1903. The average price
per barrel was S0.T23 in 19oS and
So.70t in 1902 This Is consistent with
the Increase in stocks during the
year.
Only three states contributed greatly
10 the increase In quantity produced.
california took Srst place by gaining
2l.35 per cent. Oklahoma Increased
40 per cent, and West Virginia 1888
per cent Utah and Wyoming produc-
ed only 22.13T bhls., but this was
gain OF 2i.5J per cent over their COM
binch output IN 1908, In all other
states decreases were noted the
greatest decline, i7.l5 per cent being
in Louisiana.
CALIFORNIA LEADS.
California. as was expected. took
first place in petroleum. production.
changing places with Oklahoma. Gait
tornia's product IN 1903 was about
6.500.000 hblS. more than any other
state has ever produced In - year.
Should California show n further pro-
portionate increase in 1910, her total
will be more than double the highest
WELD of Pennsylvania. West Nirginia's
increase brought that state from sixth
TO fourth on the list. exchanging
places with Texas. All tho other states
retained their rank Of the year 1908.
The use of fuel oil by the railroads
Of the United States is on the increase.

FARMERS AND TRUCK GROWERS
CALLED TO MEET AND Or
eANlZE ASSOCIATION FOR TO-
MATO GROWING.

Tomorrow afternoon there is to be
held at the city hall most important
meeting of farmers, truckers and bust
ness men, the purpose of which is to
organize for the growing of tomatoes
in this county for car lot shipments.
1t is recognized that tomatoes have
grown to be one of the staple crops
of this section, and big money crop.
The entire crop grown in this section
last year did not begin to supply the
demand, and the crop sold at good
prices throughout the season This
county should engage in cultivating
this crop to an extent that buyers will
be attracted to bid on and buy the
cars of tomatoes as they are loaded,
