Hon. 6. w. Hays Optimistic 0vet
PartY'S Chances.

Hon G.. w. Haye, formerly Of
Chenille, Gilmer county, who rep
resented the then Sixteenth senate
rial district in the state senate in
1SS3-65, and who has always taken
al active interest in politics in be-
half of the olo-time principles of
Democracy. has been in the CITY on
business during the past few days
Yesterday Mr.. Hays talked in an
interesting way to the Register on
tho splendid chances of the Demo
Gratis TO win in both the coming
state and national elections. He
Is extensively interested in tho oil
business and is located at present
Mt Petersburg. In discussing
national politics, Mr.. lays said
PERSONALLY, am very optimistic
over the outlook. Taft's admins
tration up to the present time has
been q great disappointment even to
the Republicans, and 1 have no
doubt that with union and the prop-
er organization of the fore $, the
next congress will be Democratic
one. Taft has fallen down on his
promises and his personal views on
the tariff have been disappointing
to very large element in the Re
publican party. The extremely
high cost Of living, brought espe-
cially to mott during the Taft adj
ministration is due to the tariff laws
rs they exist today, and no other
cause can be ascrbed for it.
Another thing which caused the
president to be viewed with dist vor
is his failure TO act in curling the
railroads and tho big corporations
MS he pledged himself to do. Peo-
pie are becoming more intelligent
every day and they are investiga-
Ting oil these lungs just as thor
oughly as Congress or any other
body, and the people arc finding
out why conditions exis, as thew
are at present.
In regard TO the situation in the
state, Mr., Hayes said.
"1f the Democrats get together.
eliminate fractional differences. or.
game the party thoroughly. there
Is more Shan fighting chance that
tue next Legislature will be n Dem
ocratic ore, and democrat viii be
sent to the United States senate
"Poople arc getting sired Of negro
domination in politics there nrf
at present %. 600 negro votes ia The
state and this can easily be doubled
and 'ripled If it is Necessary for
Republican purpose. West Vir
ginians me getting tired Of PUTTING
worthless ana incompetent men In
Office by This means, and it require
but concerted effort on the part Of
tho Democrats to secure thousands
Of votes from quiet thinking Repub-
Iicans who arc weary Of present con-
ditions. The Scott-Hubbard fight
is going to be bitter one, and thu

of the drama artistically pre-

a drama both pathetic and anus

This was done in a most credita-

showing by the feeling and ele-
giant rendition of their several
parts that each had been thor

both to criticize and instruct.
Following were the cast of char

Mr.. r. E. Skinner as the Rev.

A CLOSE RACE
Two Big Wells in as Many Weeks
Add Variety to the Many Tri-
umphs of Busy North
ern Field

COALINGA, March 29-Coalinga has
another gusher, and one which threat
ems to equal the famous Mohawk.
1t is w. X. No. 5, section 2, 20-15,
and but short distance from the MO
hawk The news was hurried to town,
and 1t did not take long for it to reach
the San Francisco exchange, where the
stock took a jump, and in sympathy
with 1t tho Turner 2, it's neighbor, made
a sharp advance to SO bid.
The men at the well were prepared
for the emergency, and in few hours
had the flow stopped and the we'll Sc
curely capped. At late hour this af-
t1rnoon 1t was rushing through the
pipes at the rate of 5000 barrels a day.
The oil is about % gravity.
Persons who were at the well say
that 1t will almost equal the famous
Mohawk after it steadies down to busi-
ness, and although not quite so deep
and has not the pressure, will prove a
close second.
The coming In of the w. X. means
much more for the district and also a
great deal for Coalinga.
The newest company organized for
the purpose of operating in this field is
Known as the Hawkeye Oil company,
and was formed few days ago by A.
p. May, II. c. Kerr E. r. Walker, II.
r. Crozier of Coalinga; DR.. c. e. Gal

Pasadena and @. II. Smith Of Fresno.
They are heavily interested in the
Homestake and Unity.
Their newly acquired property is in
26, 20-14. Forty acres of the Neither
lands and sixty acres of the San Juan
companies comprise the new purchase,
added to the thirty acres of the Home
stake and the forty of the Unity. giving
them 40 acres of the best of territory.
The new company was capitalized for
$950,000 and took possession of the
property Monday.
For three months the Blair has been
endeavoring to get the pipe loose an or
der to put in a new shoe and other
necessaries. Today it was started and
several hundred feet were removed,
assuring the beginning of active work
with larger pipe at an early date. 1t
will be but a short time now before
the water will be shut off.
The Hub was in fifteen feet of the
blue shale today, and still going salts

The Little Jumbo will soon be moving

LOS ANGELES-M'KlTTRICK
REACHES 200 FEET DEPTH

Word was received yesterday from
section 32, 1928, where the Los Ange-
les McKittrick Oil company is drilling,
that the well was now about 200 feet
in depth, with the work progressing
rapidly. Vice President Lee Butler of
the company declares that the we'll
should be finished within sixty days,
as one of the most competent crews of
drillers working in the Maricopa ter
ritory has been employed. This crew
drilled the famous Wellman, Ethel ID.
and Monte Cristo wells.
Rapid progress is also being made by
the Eugene e. Schmitz company, which
is operating on an adjoining section.
The Schmitz people are using a high
class rotary rig, and intend to drill
2500 feet in twenty-one days, which will
be a remarkable feat if accomplished.

CONFLICTING REPORTS
ABOUT THE LAKE VIEW
ARE IN CIRCULATION

Conflicting reports about the Lake
View gusher continue to be circulated.
Some say the we'll is doing as much oil
as ever. Others say the production has
decreased A few have the courage to
say the casing (and consequently the
welD is wreck. The Herald an
nounced the fact last Saturday and
was called liar by the ones it scooped
Such a well as the Lake View could
not last, and when its casing sprung
q leak it was as good as dead.
The Examiner yesterday acknowl-
edged in a Bakersfield dispatch the
truth in part. 1t said:
According to the best expert opinion
ii is only matter of time when the
Lake View gusher must end in sudden
ruin from one of several causes, and
the time set for the closing chapter of
the great wells career is not far dis
tant.
Although absolute confirmation of
the report is lacking. 1t seems pretty
certain that the casing is already
wrecked, that large sections OF 1t have
been expelled from the well, and that
the boring out of the earthen walls into
a great crater is we'll advanced"
