She was lingering her binoculars alb
sently, her eyes fixed reflectively in the
sweep of the sea forward.
Every one else on the yacht was wild
with excitement over the sudden glide
of the American boat, which left its
contestant a good bit aStern.
The man who sat beside her divided
his attention between the girl and the
yachts. Both caused him worriment,
evidently, for now and then he pulled

fingers nervously through his reddish
brown hair.

There was no putting off her wants
so he managed to bring it to her from
the salon without splitting more than
half of it.
This boat has a roll and no mistake"
he muttered as he threw himself beside
her.
How awkward you can be at times,
Bobby" she said quite casually, pre-
pairing to sip from the tall straws.
He ran that nervous hand through
his tousled crop, screwing his eye to
he winners clubtopsail.

CORoNER'S INQUEST !. IN TORCERS0N CASE
NOTHING NEW CONCERNING THE TRAGEDY WAS BROUGHT OUT.
Except That the Suicide Had Long
 Been Contemplated.

An inquest was held by Coroner John stone yesterday morning on the body of Ellen Torgerson who hanged her self. presumably last Thursday even ing near Grand avenue about midway between Five Points and Six Points.
 The inquest brought nothing in ad- dition to the facts related by The Re publican yesterday morning. in its ac- count of the tragedy. Some letters and papers were made public but they threw no light on the affair except that they indicated that the woman had for some time contemplated suicide. That much had however been already known from her conversation with different people.
 The witnesses at the inquest were Carl Coleman. Amos Dye and John Stover. the boys who found the body on Sunday morning. MT. and Mrs. J. Burris who were probably the last persons who had seen Miss T0rgerson alive and Adjutant P. " Dowell of the Salvation Army upon whom she had called on her arrival in the city and whom she had visited at least tWic, after that.
 The papers which had been turned over to Marshal Moore by Mrs. Kuchcr where the woman had lodged were mostly scraps containing her own name and that of relatives in Sweden with ;he names of two other persons whom she had known in California.
 There were frequent references to the probability that something world happen to her. In that case she de- sired Edward Nelander of l6l6 South Hope street.

TWO AGENCIES TO
join NEXT MONTH
CoaIinga and Bakersfield 0per-
atOrs Arrange to Pool
Their interests
Strong Organization to Protect
the Rights of the In
dependents

The final steps looking 10 the con
solicitation of the independent oil pro
ducers' agencies of Bakersfield and
Coalinga will take place May 4. All
preliminary arrangements have been
completed and it only remains TO vote
the Coalinga members into the Bakers
field body. The way has been paved
by charging the number of directors
in the Bakersfield concern from 50 20
$50. All of the contracts Of the Coal
inga agency will be taken over.
This Will bring together the priu-
cipal independent oil producers in the
state of California and will give them
a greater measure of protection than
operators in any other part of the coun-
try enjoy. The independents thus
united are able through the producers
agency to market their product under
the most favorable circumstances.
The independents recently received
their checks for the oil marketed under
the cooperative agreement. The pc
troleum netted a fraction over 80 cents
a barrel. 1t is generally believed that
the price Will show an increase before
long.
The financial statement of the
Bakersfield agency is of interest TO
all independent operators. II covers
the first three months OF the present
year and shows the sale of more than
s.. 100000 worth of oil during that
period. The statement follows:

12-21-14, where in addition to several
old holes two or three have been drilled
within a short time, but without result.
Opinions differ as to the reasons for
this failure, but it seems to be generally
accepted that the formation is too
much broken to hold out hope for any
profitable production. There is now no
work under way on the north side of
Warthan canyon.
On the south side of the canyon, on
1S-21-15, several rigs are at work, and
up Jacalitos canyon, but near its mouth,
four or five others. but none of this
work has yet reached the conclusive
stage. Farther up the 1000 foot hole
Of the Jacalitos and the $500 foot test

WORK AT McKITTRICK
At McKittrick there is little that is
new. This field has had the reputation
of being spotty, but later work has
shown that it is merely very narrow,
and further, the producing strip is not
altogether straight. The upper or
southwest bound of the field was shown
years ago, a string of dry holes having
been drilled all along this side and ex-
tepsions to the southeast seems to be
barred by the deep hole of the Provi-
dent on the Ole Dabney lease, which
was dry.
A good many of the shallow wells at
this end of the field have gone over
to water, but the old Shamrock gusher
is still putting 500 or 900 barrels of
clean oil into the tank every day; one
of the most profitable wells ever drilled
in this state. All the property north
of this has held up remarkably well.
and acre for acre there is probably no
better producing ground in any of the
fields than narrow strip running
