CHANCE IN CONTRACTS
REACTS ON COALINGA

COALINGA, June 15.-Coalinga is
passing through the conditions eX-
pected when the change of contract
was made from the Associated to the
Producers. The future, with the old
contracts and it's tendency to down the
price of oil, was not encouraging. The
change had to come to the position of
marketing our own oil, but it had with
it the influence of low priced contracts
held by the sales agents, the Union OIL
company, that would affect the net
price to be received by the producer
with a low price for the early oil de-
liyeries.
The shaping of so large a business,
even in the hands of competent men,
takes time to get all the machinery and
all the avenues of trade in line of per
feet harmony. The situation os fast
improving, the old contracts are run
ming out and the new contracts at
better price are beginning to take oil.
The broadening of the market under
the generalship of L. P. ST. Clair and
his associates has reached the far north,
is seeking the trade of the great mining
districts of Arizona and New Mexico,
has crossed the Isthmus of Panama to
invade the Atlantic with superior
fuel for his greyhound liners.
The Independent Producers today
controls about 80 per cent of the inde-
pendent oil in California, which means
that with the growing market and de-
mand will come better prices to the
producers. There are many evidences
of increased demand for fuel oil.
Take the reported action of the Amer
lean Petroleum and the American Oil
fields, after a contract for their oil for
three years al 50 cents a barrel had
been made, when the present market
admitted of only AZ cents to the Inde-
pendent, they were later quoted as hav-
ing made an offer Of $4,000 to be re-
leased from this very favorable con-
tract.
But one solution for their action, the
other marketing concerns have in
creased their territory and need oil
TO complete contracts made.
The Standard, with superior system,
worldwide, has been active in the
market, is reaching for future delivery
of the refined oil. The Southern Pacific
has demonstrated the superiority of
liquid fuel over coal in the great freight
engines now being used over the heavy
grades, which are impossible with coal
The Associated Oil has reached be-
yond the confines of this great state
for a market and will need crude oil to
fill orders for fuel. With these four
concerns in the field seeking
new customers, with trained men in
every avenue Of their business, means
a broadening of the industry greater
than the layman can understand. The
year 1910 will be a history making
period in this great industry, with the
elements of chance greatly modified,
drawn down to a solid basis, with the
future and it's great possibilities
brighter than in any year of the oil
business ON this coast

JURY DETERMINING HARDY
MURDER CASE LOCKED UF

Following two days argument in the
Hal e. Hardy murder trial in Judge
Willis court, the case was given to the
jury yesterday afternoon shortly after
5 O'Clock. At 10 o'clock there was every
indication that the jury would be out
for a long period in deciding the case,
and the members were locked up for
the night.
The trial of Hardy, who is charged
with numbering William Moore, a lunch
stand proprietor, last fall, by shooting
him following his refusal to serve Har-
dy with a tamale, has engaged the at
tention of the criminal court for more
than a week. The prosecution intro
duced testimony in an effort to prove
murder with malice aforethought, white
the defense claimed Hardy was tenn
porarily insane from the continued use
of liquor when he did the shooting.
The arguments in the case lasted two
full days, and great interest was mani
tested in the trial

WORK EXHIBITED
BY TRADES SCHOOL
Macy Street Students Show Car.
pentry, Pottery and Dresses
That They Have Made
COURSES TO BE INCREASED
Boys and Girls from Fifth Grade
Up Are Given In
Structi0n

The new trade school of the Macy
street school, the only trade school con-
nected with a grammar school in Cali
fornia, opened its first exhibit or
students work in it's two departments,
carpentry and dressmaking, yesterday
afternoon. At the same time occurred
the opening of the annual exhibit OF
work in pottery and applied design.
A remarkable exhibit is that of each
of these three departments. Pottery
has been made in the school for some
time, and applied design has been
practiced for several years; conse-
queutiy something Is to be expected
from the students in these crafts. The
expectations are we'll met, and the eX-
hibit compares favorably with the ex-
hibits of larger and older institutions.
On the other hand the trades school,,
with branches of dressmaking for the
girls and carpentry for the boys, is
only five months old, but the showing
made is surprising in its extensiveness
and quality.

LANES IDEAS

The idea of a trades school was con-
ceived by Robert II. Lane, principal of
the Macy street school. That it was
good thought is amply proved by the
enthusiasm with which the children
took to the work.
Students of the trades school. who
number now about twenty, devote their
mornings to regular grammar school
study The afternoons are spent in
the manual pursuits, the boys study
ing carpentry under Arthur l.. Flick
and the girls studying dressmaking un-
der Geraldine Parry.
The carpenter shop. which is in full
operation every afternoon. is a busy
place There are no sluggards among
the boys enrolled. III are thorough
ly in earnest in their ambition to per-
feet themselves in the trade. The
course consists of joint making. table
making truss and bridge work, con-
struction of ventilators, brackets. min
iature roof framing and window
frames. Cabinet work is done by the
more advanced students All of the
boys draw their own details and work
direct from them. Each boy in the
class has made set of five architec-
tural drawings since the school opened.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-16
DREssMAKING SCHOOL

The work in the dressmaking school
is practical At the beginning of the
course wash dresses We're made for
small girls. Since that time larger
wash dresses, party dresses and un-
derclothes have been made by the
students. The girls fit the dresses on
each other. About ten sewing ma
chimes are in use in the department.
AS much interest is manifested here
as is seen in the boys shop.
Principal Lane expects to extend the
-ope of the work next year. For the
boys courses in plumbing and cleo
trical wiring will be inaugurated. A
number. of other innovations will be
made.
The work in applied design and pot
terry is under the direction of Miss
West, who has been at the Macy street
school for three years. The exhibit
embraces the successful efforts of
students from the fifth grade up. Sofa
cover designs, table mats, bags, cross
stitch work, toy landscapes and many
clever pieces of pottery are included in
the exhibit.
The exhibits will be open again to-
day and tomorrow.

OYSTER PIRATES STILL ANNOY OWNERS
OF Oyster Beds on Beaeh-Ne Methsd Devised
Yet for Proteetisn.

How to circumvent the oyster pirates
who are operating here 80 extensively
is problem yet unsolved by those iv--
ing on the water front.
Some of these beds project into the
water fifteen hundred feet, and where
they terminate, the water is Of ample
depth to float big crafts, and the dis
tance from shore prevents recognition
of the marauders. These predatory
visitors being thus secure from detec-
ton, they operate boldly. To pursue
them is like chasing will-o'- '-the-wisp,
for as soon as the owner of the oyster
bed starts toward him they hoist the
sails of their boats, and away they go,
leaving their pursuers in the distance.
To patrol the beach seems the only
adequate protection to the oyster reefs,
but the beds and oysters being as yet
small, such an expense is too large to
be incurred. Meanwhile the growth of
the reefs and the oysters is checked by
these pirates.
Some of the oyster beds would yield in
two years two thousand dollars annually
could they be saved from the ravages Of
these thieves. A few Of the irate own
ers of these oyster beds which are being
pillaged almost nightly are threatening
to bring their Winchester rifles into use.
