BONNIE CLARE RAILROAD
is ABOUT READY TO START

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 19.-Equipment
for the construction of the railroad
from Bonnie Glare to the company
mine at Gold Mountain is now arriving
at Bonnie Glare station and the work
of construction will be commenced at
once and pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible. Rails and ties are
being shipped in and teams and scrap
ers for thessg grading are now on the
ground. Manager Trumbo returned
day or two ago from Los Angeles where
he went to complete the details in
preparation for the beginning of work.
The road will be about seven miles
long and will carry in addition to
the product of the Bonnie Glare mine,
custom ores from points in the Gold
Mountain district which will be treat
ed at the company's mill near the
main line of the II. & T. railroad. The
mill has been enlarged to 100 tons
and is now in condition to operate
though it's capacity will not be taxed
until the new railroad is finished.

MIDWAY OUTPUT GROWS

TAFT, Aug. 19.-Successful develop
ment of section SO, 31-22 has greatly in
creased the Midway output of the
Santa Fe railroads oil department,
which has increased $50 per cent, to
more than 100000 barrels for the month
of July. The company is diligently at
work constructing a giant cement lined
reservoir to take care of the bis wells
on this section, of which it owns the
southeast quarter. The activity of Do
heny's American Oilfields on the other
three quarters of the section, makes it
necessary for the railroad to get its
big gushers on production as soon as
possible. At present most of them are
bridged over.

STORY OF GUSHER IN
THE ELK HILLS A FAKE

BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 19.-0perators
were very much excited this week over
a story printed in a local paper of a
big gusher said to have been brought
in by the Midway Valley Oil company
on section u, 31-24, Elk Hills. Captain
Schofeld of the Eagle Creek and L. p.
st. Clair, president of the Independent
Agency, sent representatives to the
scene who reported that the story was
unfounded.
A gusher in the Elk Hills would prove
up a vast area of land which is in
high favor with big operators, hence
the interest displayed.

CONSERVATION PROBLEM
TO RECEIVE OPPOSITION
Editor Fox of oil World Declares
Meeting Thursday Night
Was 0ne-Sided

In the opinion Of Charles P. Fox,
editor of the California Oil World,
who is at present in this city, the
meeting of oil men held Thursday night
in the chamber of commerce rooms
was not representative of the whole
body of those engaged in the business
of producing oil in this state.
LAS a matter of fact" declared Mr..
Fox Yesterday, IT believe that the
sentiments expressed at this meeting
which l attended are anything but
representative of the beliefs and ideas
of the oil men of California. The bur
den of the speeches made at the meet
ing. that by Chairman Graham and
those by l.. c. Gates and Senator
Bulla. was conservation and the let
ter read from Col Tim Spellacy was
of the same tenor. There was no word
said against the policy of conserving
the oil lands of the west, and hence,
the only justifable inference to be
made by the reporters was that the
oil men by silent assent committed
themselves to this policy. In reality
my observation leads me to believe
that the great majority are not in
favor of conserving the oil lands OF
California along the lines suggested
by those who are the policy's best
known advocates. The majority of the
oil men of this state, including stock
investors who should be taken into
consideration in this matter, are de-
veloping lands which have not yet
proceeded to patent. It is folly, there
fore, to say that these men are con-
WINGED that an act which would de-
prive them of all hope of reward for
their efforts and money expended has
their sanction.
HAVE NO INTEREST IN LANDS
Thursday nights meeting, the key
note of which was conservation, was
largely made up of men from the
fields of Southern California, where all
operations are carried on upon pat
ented land. Southern Californian OPP
orators have no interests whatever,
aside from their interests as citizens,
in the action of the government toward
the oil lands in the withdrawn district.
TO be sure, these men were oil men,
but conservation will neither beneht
them greatly nor inJure them at all,
and the fact that they favor gov
ernmental policy should not be looked
upon as indicating that all other oil
men are inclined to the same opinion.
"I will go further and assert that
the sentiments of Mr.. Graham, Mr..
Gates, Mr.. Bulla and Mr. Spellacy are
not the sentiments of the majority of
those in attendance at the gathering.
The views OF the TOUR men declaring
themselves do not coincide, 1 venture,
with the majority of those present,
notwithstanding the fact that the au-
dience was composed largely of oper-
ators in local fields. If, then, these
views are contrary to the views held
by the majority of those present at
the meeting, how much less apt those
views to be the expression of the opin-
ion held by the thousands of persons
who will be disastrously affected by
the institution of the plan of conserva-
ton, as so far outlined by its spon-
sors?"

MARTIN is FREE.
in Preliminary Of
Giving Liquor to Minor.
On First Ballot Jury Stood s to
4 for Officer.

With a verdict of acquittal, the jury
in the court of Topeka last night
cleared Guy r. Martin of the charge
of giving intoxicating liquor to a mi
nor when he was in command of the
militiamen at the Aviation field in To-
peka in June. The inability of the
state, represented by assistant Attor-
ney General John Marshall, with the
assistant of Arthur ]. Bolinger from
the county attorneys Office. to prove
anything specific about the liquor drink
ing on the ground where the soldiers
were encamped, left little ground for
attaching the blame to Captain Mar
tin.
A first ballot of eight for acquittal
to four for a verdict of guilty was fol-
lowed by an agreement~Of the jury to
discharge the prisoner. 1t was shown
and not contradicted, that the liquor
which made the trouble had been
brought to the soldiers camp in an au-
tomobile occupied by ]. c. Mars and
three or four other men. Samuel E.
Lux, one of the directors of the State
Fair association. was called as a wit
ness. but as he had been in the car
he claimed his constitutional privilege
and gave no testimony.
After the return of the verdict, AS
sistant Attorney General John Mar
shall admitted that his office had de-
termined to make Captain Martin the
whisky drinking at encampments of
the National Guard in Kansas. He
said that the publicity obtained by the
present prosecution was really the re-
suit aimed at and he congratulated the
captain upon his acquittal-
The most damaging evidence produced
by the state was that of Private
Crooks of Company A, from Manhat-
tan, a youth with a retreating chin
and the natural proclivities of a spot
ter" who produced in court a bottle
of whisky which he had procured at
the militia camp and had saved to use
against somebody at the time. When
asked why he had taken the whisky if
he did not intend to drink it he re-
piled:
7 wanted to keep the other boys
from getting it"
Crooks was allowed to carry the
whisky away. He put it in his pocket
when he left the court room and went
down the street with it. He narrowly
escaped arrest a short time afterward
by a police officer who observed the
whisky bottle in his possession and
thought he was a bootlegger. The ex-

MISS MORRISON MOVES.
Goes From Lansing Prison to Home
of Sister.

Leavenworth, Kan, Sept 2S.-Jessie
Lee Morrison, who was paroled from
the state penitentiary yesterday by
Governor Stubbs after having served
eight years of % year sentence for
killing Mrs. Olin Castle, her rival in
love, at ElDorado, Kan, ten years ago.
left the prison for Excelsior Springs,
Mo, today. Miss Morrison was accom-
panied by her sister, Mrs. Ida NJ. Haw-
ley of Excelsior Springs, with whom
she will make her home for a time.
Miss Morrison was formally releas-
ed from the prison last night and was
the guest of Warden ]. K. Codding and
wife from that time until she left. At
talked of incidents of her prison life
but she at no time lost her self-eontrol,
or betrayed great emotion.
After the surprise occasioned when
she was told of her parole, she soon re
gained her composure and assumed
manner of unconcern which character
lied her when she was three times tried
on the charge of murder.
Her chief concern this morning was
to communicate with her father, former
Judge M. H. Morrison, at Ell Reno, Ok.
She called him several times on the
long distance telephone but was unable
to get a response. She intends to visit
him soon
Under the terms of her parole she
may go anywhere in Kansas, Missouri
and Oklahoma but not outside of those
states.
Just before the trolley car on which
Miss Morrison was to go to Kansas
City left Lansing, Miss Morrison re-
ceived shock when a deputy warden
ran toward the car shouting that the
car must not start He was waving
paper in his hand and when he reach
ed the car he breathlessly explained
that Miss Morrison had not signed her
parole papers and that she could not
leave the prison confines until she had
done so.
Miss Morrison, trembling perceptibly
used her suitcase for desk and signed
the papers.
When she arrived in Kansas City she
manifested great interest in the
changes that had taken place while
she was in prison and seemed to be
nervous about motor cars, fearing that
she might be struck by one.

Miss Morrison Not Excited.
Leavenworth, kan, Sept. 2S.-"Can
/ it be true?" These were the wo1 DIS
uttered by Jessie Morrison as Mrs.
Codding stepped into the room at the
Kansas penitentiary where the former
was busy with some fancy work. Mrs
Codding said not word, but the eX-
preston on her face must have con-
Yeyed the long looked for message to
the prisoner.
After being assured taht 1t was true,
Miss Morrison asked:
rs my father living and does he
know?''
Although she expressed herself as
being glad that her prison life was
ended, Miss Morrison refused to talk
at any length. Mrs. Codding, wife of
the warden, J. X. Codding, carried on
the conversation for Miss Morrison,
answering questions as to her life with
in the great prison walls, her plans for
the future, and her feelings toward
those around her and toward those
who had worked for her release.
Miss Morrison is no doubt grateful
for the pardon, but in, her words and
manner she does not show it. She did
not go into Mysteries when she received
the news, nor did she. offer any prayer
of thanks. Instead she merely gath
cred up her work in order to prepare
for her departure.
Although her plans for the future
are not definitely settled, yet it is prac-
tically certain tht she viii reside with
her sister, Mrs. Holley, in Excelsior
Springs, Mo. Her sister came here
after receiving word that Miss Morri-
son had been pardoned for the pur-
pose of accompanying her sister to her
new home.
Since she was received at the Kansas
penitentiary, June 10. 1903. Jessie
Morrison has been model convict,
never giving trouble and always a will
ing worker.

COLORADO GIVES UP.
Hope of Irrigation Convention Endors-

Pueblo, Sept. 2S-Realizing that
there is no possibility of getting the
eighteenth national irrigation con-
gress to endorse states rights in water

today will turn its efforts to an en-
deavor to prevent presentation to the

Interest today turned largely to the
meeting of the resolutions committee
where the policy of the congress for
the coming year is being formulated.
Present indications are that Colorado
will not only lose it's fight in behalf
of states rights but that the commit
tee will report out a strong endorse
ment of federal control.

to a discussion of water equities" in
its various phases.
