Senator Aldrich followed the Presf

he pledged loyal and earnest support to
President Taft at all times.

III has been my good fortune In the
past loyalty to support the President

recognized leader of the party to which

California Oil Fields Exceed Gold in Value

fornia at $500 900 barrels, an amount
equal to about four times what has
been produced by all the fields of the
entire country from the very beginning
of the industry up to the first of the
present year.
This estimate does not take into nc
count the oil that exists in those fields
that are as yet only prospective, but
which. when proved, will add material
ly to this amount. Neither does this
estimate take into account the oil that
exists in the territory outside of what
at the tmic the estimate was made
was considered the limits of the proved
ground.
Judging from present indications. it
seems almost certain that with few
years additional exploration and deVel-
opment work the amount of oil proved
to exist in the fields of California will
at least be doubled.
The oil fields of California have been
proved to be the greatest In the world
Their known extent and contents place

THE LIFE OF A WATCH

The life of a watch is largely de-
pendent upon it's usages and the per-
son carrying it. Some watches have
been known to run almost continuous
Iy over a period Of 125 years. They
We're badly worn and useless save for
the metal in them, once they stopped,
but might run even longer save for
external causes.
As to the life Of n watch, jewelef
said that good average watch with
fair care ought to Wear from thirty u
forty years, and n nnN watch fifty
years; it might last seVenty-hNe, but
fifty years would probably be nearer
the figure.
1t may be thought that a superior
watch would lass longer than that, but
really the wonder is that this delicate
piece of mechanism running year after
year ceasele-slv should run 50 long.
And as a mattor oi fact comparatively
few watches ARE put 10 the final test
of their endurance. Fashions change
in watches as they do in everything
else. and mon tire of their old watch
and want another, and they are more
than likely 10 buy q new watch before
the old one stops,

Marvellous development of the oil in
dustry in the state of California is
shown by advance sheets of the min
eral bulletin of the state mining bureau
of California for 1910.
According to figures compiled by
State Mineralogist Lewis f. Aubury
the 1910 production of petroleum in
California will exceed in value the pro-
auction of gold by $l5,500,00).
The following tabulation from the
advanc~ sheets of the bulletin takes
no account of values, but only of the
number of barrels produced between
the years 1SI5-19J9 and inclusive of
both years. Prior to 1887 the figures
relating to values are incomplete.
The total value of the petroleum
produced in the period 1SS7-1909.
inclusive, was $136, $685. 22S. The barrels
produced each year, as reported by the
fnrnd nnnra nrn fnllnNS.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-12-25

The significant lesson taught by
these statistics is that petroleum is
outstripping in value that of gold in
this state. Thus the values of the two
products, beginning in 1907, are as fol
lows; 1907: Gold. $16.727,92S; petro-
leum, 500, ,15j,5S5. 1908: Gold, $1S,761, ,559
petroleum, $24, $50 1909: Gold, $21.-
1000; petroleum., $29, ,5955S6.
Making the liberal allowance of $22.-
100000 for the gold production during
1910, the value of the petroleum at the
conservative estimate of 10000, 600 bar
rels for the same year will give Il
value of $37,5C0O00 at 30 cents a
barrel. At 40 cents it would be valued
at $50 900, 900, an excess of $4,000, 900 over
gold.
From the same authority it appears
that the total number of barrels of
petroleum produced in California from
1887 up to the end of the present year
will aggregate 3S2, 1885, ,564. representing
a total valuation of $166 $685. 22S since
the first production III 1887
The returns by counties complete for
1908 are given as follows;

The marvellous growth of Los An
geles from n sleepy pueblo in the EOS
and COS, with a scattered population
of about 5000, to a magnificent husky
and bustling metropolis Of more than
100000 in December, 1910, this merry
Christmas day, has been the wonder
and envy of many of the big cities of
the country. The remarkable gain of
2lL5 per cent in population in 1910 over
the census of 1900 is a startling an
nouncement to the people of the world,
but the 1910 count was no surprise to
the hustling residents of this COM
munity. They had known all along
that Los Angeles was "a comer," and
many had expected the government
enumeration in June last to go higher.
The rapid growth of Los Angeles,
from an Insignificant semi-MeXican
town to splendid metropolis. has
been told and retold, until it is famil-
lar to millions of Americans and resi-
dents of other lands while the attrac-
tions offered by the city to health
seekers, pleasure seekers and tourists
have been spread to the farthest cor
ners of the earth. After one trip to
this section they are anxious to re-
turn, and many become permanent
residents.
1t is conceded that three leading
features have contributed to the mar
velous growth of Los Angeles. They
are climate. soil and location
Since 1880 Los Angeles has grown
from a population CT IL 900 to a city of
319, 1913 in 1910. The census of 1900 gave
the city population of 102 ,479, and in
ten years the population has jumped
216,719. Here are the figures in detail,
showing the wonderful expansion in
population since 1860:

GRoWT HRAPID AND SURE

III lne CITY anu county IL IS recorded
that the name of the pueblo or town
of Los Angeles, following the custom
which then prevailed among the Latin
races, of giving religious names to
places was Nuestra Sonora de Los
Angeles. sometimes written Nuestra
Sonora la Reina de Los Angeles-"Our
Lady the Queen of the Angels"
FOUNDED BY MENICANS
os Angeles was founded on Septem-
be 4. 1881, by a small band of pohla-
d res, or coloniSts, who had ben re-
cruited in the Mexican states Of Sina-
loa and Sonora, and brought here under
the command, of a government officer,
to found an agricultural colony, mainly
for the purpose of raising produce for
the soldiers at the presidios.
The first census gave the place a
: population of 141. The residents were
Il mixed class, composed of one Euro
pean, seventy-two Spanish Americans,
seven Indians, twenty-five mulattOs
and thirty-nine mestizos. AS recently
as 1881, fifty years after the founding
of the pueblo, the population was only
no. In January, 1847, the population
was 1900.
Los Angeles dates it's most rapid
growth from November g. 1885, when
the last spike driven in the line of the
Atlantic & Pacific railway formed a
link which joined it with the east. And
what induced the hegira to this land?
you ask. Listen.
Man is creature who looks to COM
fort and health. The extremes of heat
and cold of the land east of the Rockies
are too we'll known to bear repetition.
The sunny southland is free of these
features. Who can wonder that there
are hundreds of thousands of persons
who are l.spirants for homes in a city
at which the United States weather
bureau states the mercury fell below
80 degrees, Fahrenheit, only six times
during ten years? Summer in Southern
California is not blighted by an elevat-
ed mercury. which, coupled with excess
sive humidity, makes life in eastern
cities almost unbearable.
CLIMATE NOT ONLY ASSET
Someone has said that the possession
of health is more to be priced than the
accumulation of riches. Under this
beneficent climate the possession of
health becomes more secure, and
health. which is fading away takes
new life and blooms again.
Many people of the east gain the
erroneous impression that Los Ange- |
les has climate and that alone to speak |
in its favor. The recital of a few facts
may serve to correct such an impress
sion.
Los Angeles has present assessed |
property valuation of nearly 100000 |

THE PADRES VISION
BY PAUL GYLLSTROM

The Angelus had long since tolled;
A broWn-rObed padre dozed and dreamed.
Twas in the days-century old
The dying day with glory teemed.
\ vision came unto his mind;
To him, this padre worldly mild.
He sensed a future, strange in kind
He nodded through decades and smiled
He heard the noises, harsh, when steel
Meets stone-the crunch of roned rim.
He heard the metals clang and peal
a mcllowed tone awakened him.
4 vagrant swallow on its way
Had blndly flown against bell.
Wing-woundcd, with final sway,
Then dying by his feet it fell.
He picked it ur, still warm its down;
To breathe a prayer he raised his eyes,
And then beyond the 'dobc town
He saw wondrous skyline rise.
Beneath the palms, on plaza green,
The vagrant birds scod as they play
Through dust of traffic can be seen
The bells OF old across the way
The bells the hour of Angels tell,
Here where the city new was schemed
They've raised the skyline, builded we'll
They've builded what the padre dreamed.
