know what course to pursue in shut
ting off the water that might come III
in the wells.
The operators are reported to DC
"open and frank in their statements
and are trying to do all that is re-
auired them in regard to the water
in their wells"
The water i'm the older wells is point
ed out as the source of the most SER
ious trouble These wells are higher
on the formation consequently the wa
ter seeking it's level runs down to the
later wells lower on the formation. All
well work in the fields is being done
much better, however, and the greatest
care is being used in all new work to
effectually shut off all water.
As a result of the increased know
ledge of handling water, the commits
sioner says that some of the operators
are cementng behind the water string
of pipe when il is landed. This method
of completing a well is much commend
ed because it not only shuts off the
water effectually but also preserves
the pipe and prevents injury to the
well from deterioration of the casing.

Prominent Oil Producers of Goa
Iinga Realize Necessity OF
Employing Specialist

FRESNO, April IF the request
made by the supervisors Is granted, the
result will be to make the county Of
flee of well commissioners the highest
salaried in the country, barring none.
Prominent oil producers of the Coal
inga field to the number of seventeen
have asked that the commissioner
should receive at least $400 a month
for his services and expenses, an ex-
ira allowance for such scientific SER
vices as he may require to have, and
a stenographer for copying logs of the
wells showing water and adjoining
wells All this work they assert Is
needed in order that he may proceed
intelligently and effectually with his
work.
The present commissioner Is r. Bak-
err and his salary is 800 a month, and
the petitioners In his behalf headed
by r. II. Smith and including H. w.
May, r. G. Hart, w X. Odom, II. w.
Welsh, George L. Warlow and others
declare that they consider ii the duty
of the commissioner to investigate every
oil well that Is making water and to
see that steps be taken to at once
abate this very serious nuisance which
will soon destroy adjoining property If
not abated"
The requst is under consideration by
the board for action to be taken up at
some time during the current months
session. Commissioner Baker was ap-
pointed under the law enacted by the
Legislature on March 90 1909, relating
to shutting off water in oil wells in the
oil fields of this country and yester-
day he made his first report Of investi-
cations since appointment, and recon-
mendations that his examinations of
the Coalinga oil fields have suggested
PROFITS RY MISTAKES
He says that as an operator in the
Kern river fields he knows the detri-
ment to legitimate operators from the
results of that field beig watered in
the boom days by reckless promoters,
and adds that the same results will
fall to the lot of the Coalnga district
If there was not some law TO govern
the reckless drilling of wells into the
oil sands without shutting off the wa
ter effectually." They can also drill
too deep. which will let the water into
the sand from below. finding this a
more serious menace than that from
Intellectual shutting off of water above
the oil sand because once the lower
sands are broken into IT has a much
greater effect on the oil sands than
the top water and il is a much harder
problem to deal with.

TWO UNITED WELLS Do
ONE THOUSAND BARREL S

TAFT, April 9.--Wells Nos. 1 and
2 of the United oil company on sec
tion 6-32-23 are now flowing steadily,
making better than 1000 barrels of oil
a day. Both wells are putting out
considerable sand and cleaning them
selves, so that further trouble from
that cause is not feared.
Well No. 3. which is giving every
promise of being a good producer, is
sanded up and is now being cleaned
out. Well No. 4 will probably be fin
ished next week.
The United has several rigs on the
road and is experiencing difficulty in
getting them in. The Sunset Western
railroad is badly congested and there
are said to be 500 cars of material for
this and the Maricopa field between
here and Bakersfield. The demand for
lumber and machinery is constantly
increasing, and its failure to arrive is
seriously delaying development.

Points
For
Mothers

ACcUiu,n. to new theories concern
inS parental government, parents are
supposed TO respect the opinions of
their children, at least to treat the
budding ideas with due consideration.
As an example of the justice of this
decision one has only to recall to mind
how the opinions of two generations
differ. oftea because of changing Gus
toms and conditions. The elders fail
to realize that the younger must be
heard tolerantly, and so the parents,
instead of extending the courtesy Of
listening politely to the younger folk,
deliver their ultimatum as though
there were no appeal and then are as
toniShed because confidence and under
standing grow less between them and
their children. Those parents who as
their sons and daughters develop can
encourage an expression of opinion so
they know the lines upon which young
minds are working and with gentle
argument and reason can control and
mold it exercise an influence as strong
rs that held during childhood. But it
is only by liberation and gentleneSs
that this can be accomplished. for
growing boys and girls are too old
and experienced for an assertion of
direct authority to influence.
Mothers are not infreQuently grief
stricken that their daughters as the
girls grow older keep them from their
thoughts and ambitions, giving conf
dence 10 others. In most cases this is
the mothers own responsibility, be-
cause she tries to exert authority or
pressure when others give only SYM
PATTY.
To sympathize is not TO agree; ii is to
understand the other side. Mothers
should bear this in mind and meet
their daughters on common mental
basis even when trying TO make the
younger see that her attitude is mis-
taken.
Confidence between mother and
daughter is to be maintained at all
costs on the part of the former, and a
test of her success as Il parent is the
ability to strike the right note of sym
pathy with such gentleness and under
standing rs to influence the girl To @
right way of thinking even when the
!1tter is inclined to differ.
IT is not by failure To agree thai
sons and daughters are alienated, bu
10y total lack of liberation from the
elders.
