OIL WELLS
INCREASE PRODUCTION
Product of Refining Quality
- Finds Ready Market

Nearly so wells are being drilled in
various portions Of Ventura county
Tie production has increased about so
per cent within the last six months and
Is showing a steady increase every
month. Several large wells have been
brought in during the year and more
are expected.
The oil, being OF refining quality,
finds a ready market at good prices
and is usually run direct from the
measuring tanks into the pipe lines
and taken to seaboard or else shipped
directly TO market by rail and tank
cars.
Well No. Of the Ventura oil devel-
opment company at Piru, Ventura
county, is down about 1.l30 feet in
sand rock and shale formation with oil
showing in some quantities This has
been the case for some time, although
the main oil stratum has not been
reached It is expected that this sand
lies only a short distance below the
point now reached by the drill. Well
No. is down over 700 feet, having
passed through a hard, sand rock and
also a small oil bearing stratum. It
was deemed more important to reach
the lower sand than to stop at this
point. -.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, simple, But Safe and
ERectuaI Cure For IL.


Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to fncurable.
The usual symptoms are fun or bloat-
ing sensation after eating. accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery rtsings,
a formation of gases. causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing, headache, ickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out,
languid feeling
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth. coated tongue and If the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny inf1amed condition.
The cure for this common and Obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily.
thoroughly digested before IT has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate mu-
couS surfaces of the stomach. To Sc
cure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DIR. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
tase. Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Gold
en- Seal and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at all drug stores
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and not being a patent medi-
cine can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion viii follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr.. r S. Workman. Chicago, Ill
writes: "Catarrh is a local condition
resulting from a neglected cold in the
head. whereby the lining membrane or
the nose becomes infiamed and the poi
sonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh of the
stomach. Medical authorities prescribed
for me for three years for eatarrh Of
stomach without cure, but today I am
the happiest of men after using only
one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
I can not find appropriate words to ex-
press my good feeling I have found
flesh, appetite and sound rest from
their use"
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets Is the SAT-
est preparation as well as the simplest
and most convenient remedy for any
form Of indigestion. catarrh OF stomach
biliousness, sour stomach. heartburn
and bloating after meals.

Fish TRUSTWO
SCALE The PUBLIC
A. Trapani Seeks to Form Hold
ing Corporation, but En-
counters Drawbacks

Efforts on the part of A. Trapani,
indicted leader of the fish trust, to
corner the local fish market through
the medium of vast holding company
to include most Of the wholesalers and
retailers on the coast as stock holders
are meeting with series of difficulties.
A. Paladini and the American fish COM
pany are holding out.
Paladini blocked similar efforts on
the part of Trapani before the fire. and
when the latter revived his project
Paladini put such a high figure on his
interests that the proposed combination
found itself facing steep wall Pala-
DIM asks for 100000 in cash and $780,
600 in stock for his ice box tugs. which
Trapani holds Is prohibitive. The sit
uation is such that other dealers who
had tentatively agreed to join the COM
bine have showed signs of withdraw
ing. and general topping of the en-
tire scheme is eminent
MANY READY TO JOIN
The wholesalers who are said to be
disposed to enter the new trust and
accept stock in it for their property
are the Western. New San Francisco,
the international, the I. Alioto, the
California and the A Biagini com
panies. The scheme, it is said, is to
have the new corporation capitalized
at s4.000.000, divided among the stock
holders pro rata according to the ap-
praised value of their businesses, with
certain reserve of treasury stock to
be used for the taking over of new
members.
The present arrangements of every
member of the trust In a separate stall
will give way, under the new regime,
to one central place of distribution,
probably the plant of the Westkrn fish
company. This would cut down rent
and the payroll and seems to be meet
ing with the approval of those dealers
who at first demurred at joining the
proposition.
DEALERS FEAR EFFECT
If the new trust is formed the mem
bers of the Retail Fish and Oystei
dealers association look for reprisals
because of their support of the Portola
company. They are dependent on the
big dealers for certain parts of their
supply and believe the plan is to first
supply those retailers who are stock
holders in the company and give the
others what is left.
1t0LdlleTS having CnOlCe lOCdllOHs
have had special inducements offered
them to take stock in the corporation
and special appeal has been made to
those with stands in the prominent
markets. The particular enemy of the
organizat tion is the Portola fish com
pany. which includes 29 of the leading
| dealers in the city.
PRICES ARE CUT
The original plan was to fight the
Portola to a finish, but with Paladini
holding back and with him a number
| of retailers growing restless, the
scheme has been brought to a dead
halt Feeling is running high and
| already there has been cut in the
| price of sanddabs from $3.50 to 81 8
| box. There is not much likelihood o1
/ further cutting of prices, however
as despite all internal chickering's those
| controlling the fish market of Sar
! Francisco seem to be agreed on the
policy of maintaining trust prices.
