A WOMAN AS LAWMAKER.
Mrs. Bacon's Noteworthy Work for
Bettermen of Tenement Con-
ditions.

In Indiana lives woman who does
not write plays or poetry, or novels,
but who as an author is fast COM
ing. abreast on fame's path with that

written only one work, but that has
placed her in the front rank She
is the author of a housing bill that
is revolutionizing tenement conditions
i'm Indiana
Mrs. Albion Fellows Bacon is a lit
tie slip of a woman, the mother Of
four children-with one daughter
inches taller than herself-who lives
quietly at Evansville. Some years
ago she came TO the conclusion that
i'm many cities the tenement condi-
tons were just as impossible as in
New York. The Stun conditions Of
the smaller cities were. she found.
deplorable And then. being wo-
man Of sincerity and energy, she set
about building up.
With her. charity began at home
Evansville was a fertile field She
interested her townspeople by per-
sonal appeal, and with the Monday
Night club at her elbow, engineered
city ordinance to do away with
Stun conditions i'm Evansville. With
alacrity the city council pigeonholed
1t. Mrs Bacon rescued it. and finally
it was made part of the city building
law Then she began to look around:
she began to write letters to every
body who could help, from the $50
secretaries of associated state chart
ties to Jacob A. Riis. All this i'm her
own home, and with family to care
for. At last her tabor lowered: i'm
January, 1909, her bill to alleviate
tenement conditions was presented in
the Indiana Legislature 1t attracted
little attention, and was about to be
shelved quietly when Mrs Bacon APP
peared in person before the legisla-
ture and made such an eloquent plea
for IT that the bill was passed The
bill covers the tenement question i'm

problem in a city of $4,000 demands
entirely different handling from the
tenement problem in a larger city
Mrs. BacOn's bill declares. for in

CRANDALL STRIKES OIL
SAND IN BUENA VISTA

BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 4.-Oil sand Of
a rich quality has been reached on the
famous Crandall gasser on section 10
far off in the Buena Vista hills toward
the lake from Maricopa The exact
flow could not be ascertained, but
there is oil and an abundance Of oil
of 2S-gravty.
The Crandall or Honolulu gasser, as
it is now known, had a great blowout
several weeks ago, and at that time
oil was reported issuing from the WELL
but the report was premature. Now
the rotary has reached the oil sand
and there is no longer any doubt of
the we'll being a good one. The gasser
has been spouting gas ever since last
July.
The bringing in of this well extends
the west side territory far In the di-
rection of the lakes, and 1t is believed
that all of the territory between sec
Zion 10 and Maricopa will prove rich
in oil. 90 The Crandall is down over 2500
feet

SEWING MACHINE is
OPERATED WITH EASE
BuIIock's Department Store Demon
strates Small Amount of Power
Required to Propel Device
for Household Use

A sewing machine operated by two
dry cells and a dollar electric motor Is
being successfully demonstrated py
Bullocks department store in South
Broadway. The machine is the Free
make, and its inventors claim 1t is the
easiest running mechanical sewing de-
vice in the world.
The Free machine owes its easy run
ming qualities to eight sets of ball
bearings with which it is equipped
Even the foot pedal, by which the ma
chine is propelled, has four sets OF pail
bearings in it, and works so easily that
when set in motion will run for SIX
minutes without being started again.
Another advantage of the Free ma
chine is the rotoscillo movement. In
old-fashioned machines the movement
had to be changed from the rotary mo-
tioh to the vibrating in transmitting the
power from the fly wheel to the shuttle.
In this new machine this transferring
from one movement to another Is done
away with by the use of the rotoseiilo
Consequently much of the
energy needed in operating other ma
chimes is not necessary in the Free.

ASPHALTUM TRADE MAKES STEP
NECESSARY
Argument Advanced in Bakersfield Oil
Circles Favor Some Agreement
by Which Producers Can
Get Best Results

BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 4.-There is
O. movement on foot to effect an IN
derstanding among the smaller retfn-
ers of oil in California, in order to ar
rive at better results than have been
obtained in the selling of manufac-
tured articles during the past.
1t is argua that the business prom
Use for the season of 1910, to the max
ers of asphaltum especially, is better
than at any time in the past. The
cities of the east are now in pros
porous condition, and they have TO
meet in the way of street improve
ments the ordinary expansion together
with an accumulated demand arising
from undone and uncompleted work
during the panic period. 1t is further
said that such has been the conduct OF
California refiners and sellers ot paw
ing material that the price at which
the goods are sold is several dollars
a ton less than it should be. AS
matter of fact, California asphaltum,
superior by a larger percentage to that
of any other asphaltum made, is rul-
ing on the Atlantic seaboard at fully
S. less than the Bermudez and the
Trinidad products, whereas If its su[
periority were to be considered 1t
would sell for that sum OF money
above the foreign article.
At the same time such is the strife
among western refiners that in order
to make anything at the low price
many are tWrning out an article which
is inferior to that capable of being
made by fully 121a per cent. In other
words, our asphaltum is being adul-
terated, so to speak, it being less ex-
pensive to manufacture low grade
than a high grade. AT the same time
it is said that what is a low grade
California asphaltum is grade the
imported material cannot compare
with at. the latter's best.

KINGSBURG CITIZENS

and directors: ]. p. II. Applequist'
president; A. IT. Carlson, vice presl'
dent; l.. E. Wilen, secretary; John
Carlson, treasurer; A. Nyberg and Ell
Broline.
This company was organized Decem-
ber ID, 1909, with thirty-six members.
1t holds 1880 acres Of land in the Te-
hachapi mountains, where the pros.
poets for the successful development OF
oil are said to be most excellent A
company in Los Angeles has located a
section or two of land adjoining that
of the local company, and is preparing
to begin boring at once. Some OF the
oil sand on the land of the Svea COM
pany was taken to Los Angeles and
submitted to experts, who pronounced
it good, and in their opinion oil should
be found at a depth Of 1900 to lSOO
feet.
A couple of weeks ago the members
of the company held meeting In this
city, at which 1t was decided to lncor-
porate at once, and to proceed with all
possible haste to begin boring.

Woman Trails Corpse of Parent Eight
Hours and Then Climbs Fire
Escape as Students
Start Work

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 4-"stop! That is
my fathers body!" This command
startled students of the st. Louis Col
lege of Physicians and Surgeons to-
day as they were preparing to dis
sect the body of Frank Roth.
Turning from their task, they were
confronted by Mrs. Rosa Huelfmann,
who had learned after a long delay
where the body had been taken.
She had climbed a fire escape to a
third stoy window and stepped into
the operating room. Mrs. Huelfmann
had no difficulty in proving her claim,
and the college surrendered the body.
Roth died in the city hospital. His
daughter read in newspaper OF his
death and went to the hospital and
asked for the body. 1t was not there,
and it was eight hours before she
succeeded in locating it.
Roth lost a $SS,000 estate in Ger
many because relatives had heard he
died shortly after coming here fifty
years ago.

GASSER ON W0LFSKlLL
MAINTAINS BIG FLOW

Three and one-half million feehof gas
every twenty -four hours is the flow
maintained by Gillis No. of the Anal
gamated, Just south of the Associated's
Pacific Petroleum on the Wolfskill
ranch. The gas was struck about De-
cember / at 2500 feet, and has continued
ever since to flow. 1t is piped to neigh
boring wells for drilling. Apparently
there is oil, but it is impossible to get
it for the present on account of the 800
pounds of gas pressure. The Wolfsklll
gasser OF the Associated continues TO
flow unabated.
The Associated has brought in Pacific
Petroleum No. 40 and it is yielding 3OO
barrels daily. The old Gusher, NO. 20
of the same is down to 800 barrels, but
is still flowing after an entire years OPP

Gillis No. 2 is down some 1000 feet
and still drilling. The Amalgamated
Rodeo No. los, just across the line from
the Wolfsl1ill, is to be, put on the

GOLDFlELD CONSOLIDATED
RETURNS LARGE PROFITS

GOLDFIELD, Feb. 4.--Official esti-
mates of the~ January output Of the
Goldheld Consolidated Mines company,
issued by A. H. Howe, secretary and
treasurer, shows production of 24,0OO
tons of ore, from which net recovery
OF $4,000 was made, yielding a net
profit of $52, 900, operating expenses for
the month being $4,000.
In view of the fact that operations at
the mill were hampered considerably by
the extremely cold weather during the
early mart of the month, this is most
gratifying showing, and gives thorough
assurance that General Manager F1nlay
is sdelivering the goods in the same
wav that his predecessor, General Man

SANDSTORM-kENDALL
THE LATEST MERGER

GOLDFIELD, Feb. 4.-Plans have
been formulated for the consolidation
of the Sandstorm and Kendall mining
companies, and steps will be imme-
diately taken for organizing a new
corporation to be known as the Sand
storm Kendall Consolidated Mines
company, capitalized at 100000 shares
of a par value of 81 each, the new
stock to be assessable. There is now a
total indebtedness of $53.204.17 against
the two companies, of which the Ken
dali company owes 44,19167 apd the
Sandstorm $9012.5O. the John S: Cook
& CO. bank being the creditor of both
companies.
The bank will bring suit upon the
debts. secure judgment and sell the
properties, which will be bid in by
George Wingfeld, the principal stock
holder of each, for the amount of the
debts and costs. MIR. Wingfield VIII
deed the properties to the new COM
pany, and stockholders of the old
companies will have the privilege OF.
exchanging their stock for an equal
amount in the new company.
Assessments will'be levied to provide
a fund for development work which
it is confidently believed will result in
disclosing other ore bodies of equal or
greater value than those that made
the Sandstorm and Kendall famous
during the early days of Goldfeld.
This is one of the most imuortant
moves in the recent history of Gold
field, and will undoubtedly put these
properties on the producing list and
greatly increase the output Of the
camp, in addition to giving employ
ment to quite a large force of men.
The Sandstorm and Kendall are con-
sidered among the most valuable
ground in the district, outside of the
Goldfield Consolidated, and have a
production of more than $5OO,OOO to
their credit. Now that Mr.. Wing geld
has initiated steps for reorgan'zing
and rejuvenating them, active develop
ment will probably be started at as
early a date as possible, following the
consummation of reorganization plans.
