"I look for continued unsettled,
showery conditions, but don't think
we will get much more rain in the
city"
Such was the statement of A. B.
Wollaber, the local weather forecaster,
as he prepared to go home last evening
after having wrestled with the weather
problem all day in his office in the
Central building.
The heavy rain yesterday, which
brought the total precipitation for the
storm in Los Angeles to 10, from re-
ports received at the weather bureau,
was general over Southern California.
1.-THE reports show an edge of
slight disturbance off the central Cali
fornia coast, with a secondary depres-
sion over northern Arizona" said Mr..
Wollaber.
"The rain was confined to Southern
California, the district south of Te-
hachapi," continued the forecaster,
with a light rainfall in Southern Ne
vada, southern Utah and Arizona.
Elsewhere on the Pacific slope the
weather was fair"
When compared with the rainfall last
season to this date this year has had
more rain by "a inches and has the
best of the average rainfall of all sea-
sons by 81 inches. By many it was
thought to have broken the record for
rainfall for the month of October, but
it comes nowhere near the mark set
by the rainfall in October, 1889, which
was 6.96 inches, S.16 falling in twenty
four hours

LOANS ON OIL WILL
BE EASY HENCEF0RTH

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-That
the agency members will now be en-
abled to get loans on storage oil with
greater ease by reason of the sign-up
of the Associated and Union -lndepen-
dents is already evident
A prominent member of the agency
says that already a well known bro
ker in this state has approached him
with an offer to make such advances
whenever the proper application Is
made.
The broker was anxious to learn how
much money the agency members
would be likely to need.
The opinions of the financial men,
those seen,. are that this agreement
gives the whole oil industry a better
financial standing than formerly, plac-
ing 1t on a more certain business basis
The banking interest has never given
the oil industry the consideration 1t
deserves. and in consequence the busi-
ness has felt the handicap. If this
contract between the two dominating
marketers has increased this consider
ation-given the bankers eyes more
light--aside from any other possible
consideration this is considered q very
substantial advance and the accom-
plishment of valuable result.

ASKS DAMAGES FOR HORSE
INJURED IN RUNAWAY

Bob and Billy, two horses, received
prominent mention in a suit for dam
ages of $409.50 that was filed yesterday
in the superior court by J. P. Couse
against J. A. Jackson. It is because
Couse is an expressman and Jackson
the owner of an automobile, and
Bob's shoulder was broken, that the
suit was begun.
Couse declares in his complaint that
an employe OF his, by name John Nc
Dowell, was in the performance of his
duty, which was to deliver goods en-
trusted to him. and to drive Bob and
Billy, whom one day Jackson in his au-
tomobile, driving fast and failing to
pass the outfit properly on the left side,
the approach of the motor car being
from the rear, the horses became
frightened and ran away
So extreme was the fright of the ami
mails at the automobile that they
turned into a pile of dirt upon the
right Of way OF the Los Angeles Pacific
Railway company, Mcdowell, the driv-
er, was unable to control the animals
and the result was that the wagon was
overturned and damaged and the shoul-
der of the horse known as Bob was
broken, making the animal entirely
worthless, it is charged, for further SER
vice. Couse declares that $409.50 will
cover his losses, and he wants the
court to order Jackson to give him that
amount, as he declares he has frequent
ly requested the defendant for payment
without having any financial effect.

DIVORCED COUPLE IN
DISPUTE OVER CHILD
Claims Former Wife Will Not Per-
nit Him to Visit His
Daughter

The case entitled Hattie Harris
against T. H. Harris, which began as
a divorce action and which has been
In the Los Angeles county superior
court for five years, came UP again
yesterday before Judge Bordwell, pre-
siding jurist of that tribunal.
After the couple were divorced five
years ago their child, a girl years
old at that time, was given into the
custody of the mother. who was or
dered to permit the husband to see the
little one at times and places named
by the court.
Trouble over the fathers visits to
his daughter has caused the case to
appear often In court since the divorce
was granted. The former Mrs. Harris
now is remarked, being Mrs. Hattie
Elledge.
Harris recently alleged that the
mother of his child refused to comply
with the courts order that he should
have opportunity to see the girl occa-
sionally,s and she was cited into court
to show cause why she had disobeyed
the orders of the tribunal. The hear
ing on the matter was hardly begun
before it was continued until next
Wednesday.
The child now about years old,
was placed upon the stand to tell her
side of the situation, but was taken off
when she became frightened.

ROCK ON SAN CLEMENTE
MAY SUPPLY BREAKWATER
Government will Be Asked to
Grant New Contract

The rock supply for the filling of the
1900 feet left open in the government
breakwater in Los Angeles harbor prob
ably will come from San Clemente is
land, distance of seventy miles by
sea-. and Moro rock, an island owned
by the government near the breakwa-
ter building at Port Hartford, in San
Luis Obispo county.
Permission has been asked the war
department to obtain the rock supply
from these Islands, that the cost in the
building of the breakwater may be
lessened. Rock heretofore has been
brought from the Riverside quarries, a
distance of more than seventy miles by
land haul to Los Angeles harhcr.
Moro rock in San Luis Obispo county
affords a straight haul by sea as well
as San Clemente island! The sea haul
is much cheaper than by rail, as the
rock is loaded on barges and towed to
the scene of operation, where it is
dumped into the ocean.

ROADS FAVORABLE FOR
VALLECI7OS' PROGRESS
Operating Companies Ship in Ma
Chinery, and Several viii
Soon Begin Work

The new county high line road from
Mendoza to the Vallecitos district is a
great benefit to the oil companies now
operating there, and an immense
amount of machinery and supplies is
being freighted over it. The road avoids
the bed of Silver creek and the winter
rains will have no effect upon it.
The New Bedford Oil company was
the first to drill in this new field, and
is now down about 1900 feet. The drill
will probably tap the pay streak at
1000 feet.
The Range 16 Oil company has COM
pleted q commodiouS camp of substan-
tial lumber houses, and the crew has
moved into it. II. G. Heffron, the SUI
perintendent, reports that he has the
rig completed for the first well, with
boiler and engine connected, water pipe
line laid, and will spud in the first of
the week.
The San Carlos well is down TO feet.
The Ashurst, Hulsberg, German Amer
lean and Standard Development Oil
companies are actively engaged in de-
veIoping their properties. e. A. Clark,
the Boston copper king, is interested
in the latter company with w. F. Ham
mon of San Francisco and Ralph Ar
mold, the noted geologist. Dr. Arnold
has recently made a report to his asso-
ciates on the Vallecitos district, from
which the following extracts are taken:
1.-THE Vallecitos is the finest example
of a synclinal intermontane valley OF
which / know.
1.-THE conditions governing the origin
and accumulation of the oil are more
regular stable and better understood
in the Coalinga district that In any 9TH
er California oil field, and this has re-
suited in the Investment of more cap
tai, and consequent development and
production, than elsewhere. The Vale
citos field is identical with the Coalinga,
and has the same geological conditions.
The bulksof the oil in it will average one
same test. The land will support one
we'll to every ten acres, and average at
least fifty barrels day."

CROWN REFUSES OFFER
TO PURCHASE PROPERTY

The Crown Oil company reports it
has received an offer of lease and pur-
chase of $4,000 for its fifty acres of
land on section 80, 1926, Midway. The
offer has been refused, the company
contending that the land will sell for
s2500 an acre when a gusher or well Of
large production is developed by the
Consolidated Midway, which is ope-
rating on part of the Crowns prop
erty and is down 800 feet with a rotary
drill. Experienced oil men are said to
consider the territory as reasonably
certain oil land, and within the gusher
sand.
A similar offer to drill the ground and
purchase it at $1,000 an acre when oil
was discovered on the property was
made three weeks ago by a Bakersfield
oil man.

dends.
Adjoining the Midway Northern
property on the east the Naricopa
Northern Oil company has erected a
standard drilling rig and equipment
and will spud in the early part of this
week. This new company is being
managed and financed by the same
Los Angeles persons who have devel-
oped the Midway Northern property.
With producing wells on each side
of the Maricopa Northern property
and the aggressive development work
outlined by the management of the
company, this enterprise bids fair to
Join the ranks of the California oil
producers within the next few months.
A great deal of attention is being
centered in the progress of these two
companies, as this section of the Mid
way field has lately become of great
prominence, due to the size and char
acter of the flowing wells that have
been brought in since June.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-16

The Midway Northern OIL compa-
nys property in the Midway field is
the scene of much activity at the
present time, as the management has
just added many modern facilities that
are forerunners of much development
work soon to be initiated. This COM
pany has been handicapped in its oil
deliveries and the drilling of addi-
tional wells by the lack of steam
power, but with the installation of a
battery consisting of two large 10
horsepower boilers just completed the
work outlined will go forward with
added energy.

ers with the line pump has been laid
and the power is now being carried to
a new derrick where the drilling of

few days. The location of well No. Q
