Oil is King in California. The past
year has demonstrated conclusively
that the oil business is the greatest in
dustry of the Pacific Coast States.
The geological experts of the United
States government state that the oil
reserves of the State are in excess of
eight billion barrels of oil; no doubt
their estimates are very conservative;
they deal with facts. When produc-
tion, transportation, refining and allied
interests are taken into consideration,
it means that amount of oil represents
value of about ten billion dollars, a
sum of money that is so great, so
stupenduous, that il is difficult for the
human mind to grasp it. Yet the re-
ports of the experts do not take into
consideration the new fields that will
undoubtedly be opened in the course of
the next few wears and the fact that
the old fields will be widely extended
and new producing territory brought
in.
Many well informed people believe
that the oil industry of California is
just really beginning; that its magni-
iude and possibilities represent many
untold millions OF profits that will be
earned in the years TO come.
Oil and Prosperity.
Oil has revolutionized the manufac-
turing and commercial conditions of
the Coast. Only a few years ago trans
portation facilities were very poor and
were dominated by the Standard on
Company and other big interests.
That feature of the business has been
eliminated. Associations of producers
have combined their interests and have
their own pipe lines, oil ships and mar
ket facilities aud today control practi.
cally so per cent of the oil business of
the State. Though many big gushers
have been brought in during the past
few months. the producers are sc
strongly organized that there has beer
no slaughtering of prices of oil but the
situation has been held well in han,
and the price of oil maintained at ;
figure fair to the consumer as well al
the producer.
The development of the great OF
reservoirs of this State means mor'
to the world than the mere dollars re
ceived from the sale of the oil. !
means the building up of great indus
trial enterprises that would have bee,
impossible without cheap fuel, whiel
the oil affords.
Shrewd investors have long sine
realized the great money making pos
sibilities of the oil business and hay
purchased shares in good eompanie
developing in the proven fields. Hur
dreds and thousands of careful inves'
ors have realized enormous profit
through dividends and the enhance
value of the shares they hold. DIVE
ends Of over 100000 were paid by Il
listed companies alone for the mont
of April and there is no doubt but th'
as high as $4,000, 900 has been paid
dividends by the various oil compani'

BANDITS STEAL
RICH H|CH-CRADE

At about II o'clock last night two
men, heavily armed and wearing
masks, entered tunnel No 31a of the
National Mining Company Of Nevada
Meeting the carman, they ordered hin
to conduct them to the shift boss with
ouC delay, at the same time handling
their revolvers in threatening man
ner. The carman went with the high
waymen to where Ed Smith, the nigh,
shift boss, was stationed, some 40 feet
up stope leading from the tunnel
With scant ceremony the robbers took
a sack Of high-grade ore, weighing
about hundred pounds and valued at
$4,000, telling the men not to attempt
to leave the tunnel before relieved
from duty. on pain Of death One of
the robbers then walked off with the
booty, tn eother backing out of the
tunnel with drawn revolver, and both
disappeared in the darkness.
AS soon as the coast was clear, Shift
Boss Smith made his escape through
the Stall lease and gave the alarm.
Although but few minutes had elaps-
ed between the time of the robbery
and the moment when the alarm was
given, diligent search failed to reveal
any trace of the bandits.
Sheriff Lamb was notified Of the oc-
currence at an early hour this morning
by telephone and prepared to start at
once for National A hurried visit about
town disclosed the fact that there was
not single auto available. Both the
Workman and Smith cars were tenn
porarily out Of commission, while J. A.
Gilbert had left with tine Simplex ma
chine for the eastern part Of the state
earlier in the morning, and Carty's s
car was on trip to Catlow valley.
Accordingly, Sheriff Lamb was COM
PEELED to await the coming Of the Sui
livan auto from National which left
camp at about 10 O'Clock this morning.
Upon its arrival in town this afternoon
it immediately turned about and con-
veyed the Sheriff to the scene Of the
robbery.
Last nights occurrence brings fore.
IDLY to mind the fact that at presen,
the camp of National, with its great
treasures and large property interests
Is practically without police protection
and at the mercy of rufians. While j
d. Walker, who is recognized as {
capable man, was appointed constable
at the last session Of the county com
missioners, the position carries no sal
ssy and the incumbent Is forced te
rely upon other means Of providing q
livelihood, and in consequence is unable
to give the duties of the Office his un
ivided attention.

of California during the past ten
years. Many of the holders of the
stocks of these companies have
doubled their money and then doubled
| ii again and again. Approximately
81 100000 in dividends is being paid
each month.
Many are sharing in these profits and
Others are making investments that
will soon share in these profits, plac-
ing their money in stocks that insure
them handsome income for years to
come.
May dividends of the listed com
panies alone amounting to more than
$l.S26,000. The stocks of these divid-
end paying companies are held by peo.
pie all over the country.
A party wrote us and said, eff oil
stocks are so good, your local people
would buy every share" That man
judged the situation in a very narrow,
provincial manner. He does not com
prehend that California needs today
at least one hundred millions of dollars
for the development of its oil fields.
Probably he does not realize that
moneyed men of San Francisco have in
vested enormous sums in oil develop
ment during the past few years and
would have invested more except foI
the tremendous expense incurred in re-
habilitating this city and carrying on
their lines of business after the de.
struction of San Francisco by fire
Many of the richest men of the Coast
have invested enormous sums of money
in new oil property and new develop
ment. Money is coming into the State
in enormous sums.
Oil in Nevada.

Many prominent California people
have lands in this new field.

FARMING IS A BIG BUSINESS
Requires Special knowledge and Lots
of Energy II Best Results Are
to Be Obtained.

(By 3. Z. LARA.)
The business Of farming, as prac.
ticed, by the modern and progressive
farmer. is something altogether differ,
ent from the methods in force few
years ago. Everything about the mod.
ern farm is clean, wholesome and san.
itary. Pigs, cows and chickens no
longer occupy the front yard. in com.
mon with the farmers family: ma.
chinery is no longer left in the field
to rust away. and the farmer and his
family no longer dress shabbily. The
government. agricultural colleges. troll.
ley lines. electric lights. telephones
and rural free delivery are the great
agencies responsible for this change.
The modern farmer, especially an irri.
cation farmer, must be a scientist.
He must farm scientifically. He can.
not surrender his orchard to the pests.
The law requires him to at least pro-
tect his neighbours orchards. If he
fails to comply with the law requiring
him to properly spray his trees. for
instance, the county or state steps in
and either does this work or chops
down the trees and charges the ex.
pense thereof to the land of the indo-
lent farmer.
One tree is now made to bear~more
fruit than half a dozen did a few
years ago; one farm is made to pro-
duce as much as ten acres did few
years ago. Intensive cultivation means
small and compact farms, with every
available inch of land utilized profit
ably, and the farmers and their fam
lilies happy and contented Panics do
not affect them much. They produce
the absolute necessities of life. The
world must look to them for a living
so that. after all, the farmer is in.
dispensable.
Never before has farming been car
ried on with such a sure scientific
foundation. With soil, sunshine and
water in just the proportions demand
ed by plant and tree, the business of

in its heyday and intensive cultivation

ALWAYS HUSTLING

In this advanced age of civilization
there is so much competition in every
line of business and entertainment,
that it is only the most enterprising
that succeed.
Nearly every year some circus
closes or consolidates with some 9TH
err; this year several are closing, and
why? Because competition has be-
come so strong that it takes only the
shrewdest and keenest business men
to keep up with the onward rush and
take out circus that will be up to
date in every respect and satisfy and
please the tastes of the people of to-
day.
Men who intend to cater to this
generation in any line of entertain
ment must be up and doing all the
time, no laggards can stay in this
race, for race is what it amounts to;
and there Is not a day, week, or
month in the whole year that the
energetic Campbell Brothers can set
aside for rest or vacation. AS soon
as their season closes they begin to
prepare their shows for the next sea-
son. From the day they go into win
ter quarters at Fairbury, Neb., till
they open in the spring, there Is not
a buster bunch of business men than
these we'll known Campbell Brothers.
Their efforts of the past season
are seen in the mammoth Consolid-
ated Shows that will exhibit in
Blackfoot on Wednesday, June Sth,
under water proof tents in two big
performances at 2 and 8 p. m. Don't
forget the big street parade at 10 "a.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

A good place for the strawberry bee
is on one side of the vegetable gar
den.
The plum curculo cannot be con
trolled without some trouble and out
lay of money.
The setting Of scions is only the
first step in top-working fruit tree
Early spraying alone will not pre-
vent scab.
Cyclamen plants should be rested
during the summer months-not al
lowed to dry off entirely, but watered
sparingly and kept as dormant as pos
sible.
Keep the chrysanthemums in a
shady place during the summer, water
regularly, pinch into shape, prune and
train. Keep the plant free from in.
sect pests.
In planning for the planting of the
trees, the aim should be to so plant
that when they grow annoying winds
will be kept at bay to the greatest
possible extent.
To root an ivy geranium make a
hole under the leaves of the large
plant, set the slip about three inches
deep, allowing three joints to be under
the soil. and they are almost sure to
root.
In time of drought, If water enough
to soak the ground is not to be had
regularly, 1t is better to give none to
most plants, as in that case plants
will adjust themselves to prevailing
conditions.
Give liquid manure only when the
ground Is moist; the roots cannot alb
sorb the fertilizer when in want Of
water; hence, the giving of fertilizers
during drought often results in the
death of the plant.
