Much has been said and written
about the enormous fees that have
been paid to the attorneys for the
commission. Not over $1,000 has
been paid ont Of the States funds for
tn" service OF attorneys. 1t is true
that the attorneys have received large
sums for their work.

question Of few weeks until the
business Of the dispensary commits
sion will be completed, and thus will
end an interesting chapter in the his

When all of the matters of the
commission have been attended to,
the State will have been saved near
ly $500, ,00n. When the commission
took charge Of the affairs Of the old
state dispensary it was not believed
that so much money would be saved.
The commission has been assisted by
the firm of Anderson, Fielder and
Roundtree, of Atlanta. and has been
at work for the past several years.

that on which may hinge the future
work Of the commission, is the case
OF the Carolina Glass Company,

HIGH GRAVITY OIL STRIKE
REPORTED FROM OREGON

PORTLAND. Ore, Mch. 1.-Authen-
tic information has reached Portland
that 200-barrel well has been tapped
in the Vale oil fields in Eastern ORE
gon. At a depth of 1870 feet in one of
the eight wells now being sunk in the
district a strong flow of high-grade
paraffine oil was tapped.
A veritable oil boom is on in the little
Eastern oregon city. News of the re-
cent strike and the practical certainty
that several other wells are expected to
come in anv dav has sent land values
in the oil district clear out of reach.
Since January oil locations have
been filed on and hundreds of men are
pushing far back into the hills, miles
away from the present activity, I'm
quest of suitable places to locate claims.
six wells, and four new standard rigs
are on the way to the district for other

ALBERTA OIL FIELDS
WILL BE DEVELOPED

Consul General John E. Jones at
Winnipeg reports the formation there
of a $5.000,000 American-Canadian com
pany. to exploit the ore fields OF AL
berta.
The field is about 400 miles north
east of Edmonton. and is reported
rich in OIL The Dominion government
has spent $4,000 investigating. and
prospectors have 1een working for
some time. The new compeny is to
take over the development work of a
prospector who has already sunk four
teen wells. Oil has been found at a
depth of about $500 feet, and OF the
fourteen wells a government expert re-
ports eight as producing oil in COM
mercial quantities.
The field is inaccessible. there being
no railroad facilities nearer than Ed
monton, but the Waterways & Atha-
basca railway Is building into the COM
pany's property, and II is expected that
this road will be completed in about
three years.
In the meantime the company con-
templates the erection of retineries and
other necessary buildings, and expects
to be ready TO market Its products
as soon as the railway is completed.
If the field proves as rich as expected
western Canada may be supplied with
petroleum at lower prices. 1t is expect
ed that maltha and lubricating oils
will be produced and shipped east, and
the company hopes to sell a pavement
material to complete with that i'm
ported from Trinidad and Mexico.

DECLARES A DIVIDEND

BAKERSFIELD, March 1.-The di-
rectors of the Twenty-Five Oil COM
pany have declared the first dividend
to stockholders, 25 cents share. There
are but 10000 shares of stock, and
with the big contract with the As
sociated, dividends are assured for q
time at least. The contract in ques-
ton calls for the delivery of 100000
barrels at so cents a barrel.
The company is now delivering 50,-
90 barrels month from it's eleven
wells, and the production is to be still
further increased.
The Twenty-Five is one Of the strong
est companies in the state now, its
stock selling on exchange for S25 a
share. 1t had a. long uphill struggle
and the fact that all the owners are
local men makes the present pros
perity of the company the more graft
flying.
The heaviest stockholders are T. E
Sullivan, Thomas OBrien, c. A. Bar
low, II. A. Jastro, j. c. Sperry and
the Henry Gold estate.

lost the vote they abided by the ma
jorty by withdrawing and making the
result unanimous.
At the executive meeting the oil stor-
age problem was discussed, as was the
advisability Of consolidating the Coal
inga Producers agency and the lnde-
pendent Producers agency into one
organization. While no definite action
was taken today in the matter a reso-
luton putting the matter before the
separate agencies for final discussion
was adopted. All members seemed in
favor of consolidation and only as q
business method it was deemed best
to let each agency pass separately
upon it at the next meeting in April.
Final action will be taken after these
meetings and the new organization VIII
likely be called the Independent Pro-
ducers agency of California.
When the oil storage problem came
before the executive session figures
were advanced to prove that there
was no danger of an oVerproduction
Of oil in California. The storage on
hand is now about 2,0000 900 barrels,
SOC, 900 Of which are in the Associated
reservoirs at Coalinga. The agencies
are taking care of the remainder and
can work off this surplus at times
when production has to be curtailed.
Another favorable feature is that the
pipe lines are rapidly nearing COM
pletion, thus opening a wider avenue
to the coast.
1t was disclosed that tho Standard
was reducing its storage in the field
and the Associated is now drawing on
it's reserve at the rate of eight to ten
thousand barrels a day. Independent
agencies are gradually gaining control
of the situation ana will soon dictate
the price absolutely, it was declared.

and by adding the rev producers at
the time they bring in their first wells
the agencies are expected to more
than double their present production
of 900 barrels a day.

COURTS AND OFFICERS KEPT
BUSY BY TACTICS
Man Accused Of SwindIe in Spokane
viii Appear on Second Writ.
Contempt Cases
Involved

A. J. Goldberg, who was returned to
Los Angeles by his attorney, G. II.
Sparks, and a deputy constable of Bur-
bank in an automobile Monday night,
was relinquished to c. r. Long, deputy
sheriff Of Spokane, Wash, yesterday,
and Will appear in Judge Davis de-
partment of the criminal court at 10
o'clock today on the second writ of
habeas corpus issued since his arrest
more than a week ago.
Goldberg is held in the city jail. He
Is said to be wanted in Spokane to
answer to a charge of obtaining a car
load Of beer by false representations.
Deputy Sheriff Long arrived in Los
Angeles Friday to take him back.
Since his arrest Goldberg has kept
the courts busy, and yesterday his at
torney and the constable who accom-
panied him back from Burbank Mon
day night were drawn into the trouble,
appearing before Presiding Judge VIII
bur on charges Of contempt.
Goldberg was ordered released py
Judge Davis Monday forenoon, the
court ruling that he had been held in
custody longer than the law allows.
Immediately afterwards, Deputy Long
rearrested the accused man, serving
him with q governors warrant, and he
was taken to the police station.
Attorney Sparks procured a second
habeas corpus writ from Judge Wilbur,
but when he sought to serve it on Long
at the police station he learned that
the officer and his prisoner had de-
parted in an automobile.
Found at Burbank
A chase found them at Burbank,
where the writ was served by Con-
stable Ogier and Goldberg was brought
back to Los Angeles. Where he stayed
Monday night, Attorney Sparks said
he did not know, and Goldberg was
noncommunicative.
Early Yesterday Judge Wilbur issued
citation for Attorney Sparks and
Constable Ogier to appear in depart
ment eight of the superior court and
explain a charge brought against them
by Deputy Long that they had forcibly
taken Goldberg from him. They were
in the court room at 4 o'clock, three
hours after Goldberg had been sur
rendered to the Spokane officer, and
being informed of the latter fact
Judge Wilbur continued the matter un-
til IL o'clock today.
Speaking of the matter after he left
the court room, Attorney Sparks de-
clared no force was used to take Gold
berg from Deputy Long, but that the
latter surrendered him willingly when
the habeas corpus writ was served.
II did not know he had a governor 3
warrant for Goldbergs arrest" said
the attorney. He did not show it to
me, and every circumstance in con-
nection with the affair pointed to a.
case of kidnapping. When the con-
stable showed him the writ, Long re-
marked that he was a good loser and
released Goldberg without further
question"
Sparks was represented in court yes
terday by his associate, II. c.. Millsap,
who will be assisted at today's hearing
by Attorney Louis r. Works.

BAKERSFIELD, March 1.-After a
long argument in open meeting today
to which all oil men were invited, the
Independent Producers agency of Kern
county and the Coalinga Producers
agency, in executive session, held to
their former determination to close the
doors of the agencies against outside
producers May is. The original reso-
luton, passed a month ago, was for
closing tho doors April /, but after the
opposing side. was heard today 1t was
deemed best by members of both
agencies to extend the time to May ID
The so-called closed door policy, as
explained at the several meetings, Is
in fact a wide open one In so far as
new companies are concerned. The
closed door only applies to those pro-
ducers who have held back for years
from entering the agencies.
A number of the old producers, not
members of either agency, expressed
their views at the open meeting, and
one of the arguments advanced was
that. since the entry of the Union OIL
company into the fold of the Indepen-
dent agency, as the buyer of oil from
them, they preferred to wait and see
whether the new marketing PROPOSE
ton would. work hardship upon the
small producer
TO offset this argument it was ex-
planned that UniOn OIL was only unit
of the whole and had no more voice
in the affairs of agencies than any OF
the smaller members, and that as a
buyer Union Oil was n factor less pow
erful than agencies and would never
interfere with the welfare of the man
agement.
When the matter of closing the doors
was finally put to vote there were
thirty-four in favor of the measure
and only three against It. Thomas A.
o'Donnell ana II. II. Welch were the
prominent defenders of the open door
among the membership and when they
