LAKEVIEW WELL IS STILL
GUSHING IN MIDWAY FIELD
Greatest Known Phenomenon in
the Oil WorId-Guarding
Against Fire

F. E. Dunlap. largely interested in
the LakeView Oil company, returned
Thursday from an inspection of the
famous Lakeview gusher and reports
a flow of from 10000 to $4,000 barrels a
day This gusher has been emitting
oil since March IA, and up to the pres
ent time over 100000 barrels have
been taken out.
Mammoth reservoirs have been con-
structed and many Oil lakes formed as
the result of the continuous flow from
the Lakeview, and more reservoirs are
now in the course of construction. All
the wells in the vicinity have been
flooded, and within radius of several
miles of the gusher can be seen evil
dences of the enormous oil flow. Work
still goes along at rapid rate on
other wells of the company.
j. E. Koeberle, superintendent of the
Wellman Oil company after a careful
inspection of the Lakeview gusher,
gives it as his opinion that this phe-
nomenon still will be producing 10000
barrels a day or more for a year
hence. He does not think it probable
the we'll will wreck itself. The great
est menace, he says, is fire, an ever
present danger against the occurrence
of which the most stringent precau-
tions should be constantly exercised.

REPORTS 48 DERRICKS
IN THE DEVILS DEN

S. D. Montgomery of Hanford reports
that he counted about forty-eight rigs
in the oil fields in the vicinity of Devils
Den town. The wells are mostly
capped and average from 100 to 1900
feet in depth. The prospectors have
found oil and proven the mineral char
acter of the land. He says Devils
Den is a town of one good hotel, several
other public places and about forty
houses, and coming back he saw many
teams in the Sunfower valley and on
the Kettemen plains, hauling material
for more rigs, also supplies.-Bakers-

COALINGA, April 3O.-A partial re-
port of the financial department of the
Coalinga postoffice for the year ended

Postmistress Nettie Hefton. The re-
port embraces only the receipts from

Mere Greatly Ensmored Than Ever of the Seriousness of This Valley.

C- F. DcMund arrived here yester- day from Los Angeles. where he has been living for several months past his visit being mainly on private business. He expects to leave on Wednesday for Houston. Texas. where he has important business engage ments..
 Speaking of Phoenix. Mr DeMund intimates that the more he keeps away from Phoenix the better he likes it. It is intended to convey by that expression that the more he stays away the more he appreciates what he is losing. He has now spent a winter in the widely heralded Los Angeles climate. and says it is good compared to d lot of other places in the world. but makes a very poor showing in comparison with the Salt River valley climate.

ALL CLERKS FEES
 BELONG TO THE COUNTY
An Opinion Rendered By Attorney
 General Wright.

According to an opinion by Attor- ney General Wright. the county is entitled to all the fees received by the clerk of district courts in lieu of the salary provided for that office by Act 69 of the last legislature. The dispute calling out this opinion crigi- mated in this county when Clerk Dunlevy filed his last semi-annual statement as required by the act.
 This being q county of the first class. the clerk is allowed d salary of s2.400 for himself and S1.2O0 for an assistant. Or. he is allowed to re- tain all fees to an amount not eX- ceeding that sum. But all fees in excess of that sum received or earned "in civil or criminal causes" shall be paid into the county treasury. The dispute arose over the phrase includ- ed in the quotation marks.
 It was held by the clerk and his at torneys. Messrs. Kibbey, Bennett X Bennett, that many of the fees re- ceived and earned were not meant by the statute to be included in the amount to be turned over or ac- counted for. Among such were fees for swearing and impaneling. jurors. for drawing juries, fees earhcd for making certified copies of documents and fees for performing many acts which are not related to any particu- lar cause. 5.
 In making his semi-annual report. MT Dunlevy did not includei such in- cidental fees in the list of ithose to be turned over. and the board of SUI, pervisors. acting .0n the fdvice- of Dis trict Attorney Bullard. held the mat ter of the settlement -tirs+seil there could he a determination of the

 MT DeMund says this valley is overlooking the best opportunity it has by not spending a lot-'of good F&dvertising money in Los Angeles, which seems to be regular distrib- uting point for settlers and home seekers. as well as tourists. Scores of them haunt the public places like hotel Hobbies. the chamber of com merce. the railroad offices. etc. all looking for literature and informa- ton as to the best place to go. They can't all stop in Los Angeles. nor even half of them, or the town could not build houses fast enough to take care Of them, but all who are coast ward bound stop there first. and those who don't see what they want make new start.
 MT DeMund says he believes that if an advertising representative of this valley had been stationed there during the past winter, to deliver short talks daily at the chamber of commerce. or somewhere else. and to distribute literature, he could have sent hundreds in this direction, and it would have been the most effective 1he valley ever had. He believes that if the merits of this section were kept before the tourists to Los Angeles. that city could make the first pick of all the homeseekers it could interest. and there would be more left over for Arizona than the territory has ever succeeded in in- teresting in any other part of the

meaning of the statute by the law officer of the territory.
 The incidental fees amounted to s32S.7G. the total of the earned fees being s2.12S.10, so that according to the contention of Mir. Dunlevy. the county owed him balance of a little less than s5o for the salaries of him. self and his assistant for the six months covered by his report.
 It was the contention of the district attorney that all of the fees should be included. and in that case there was the sum of s32s.7O that should be turned into the treasury. This view of the case is held by the attorney general

WHAT MIR. FISHER DID NOT SAY.

To the Editor of The Republican. sir l wish to thank you for the very generous space given to the address Sunday night on the Vatican incident. The reporter was. however. in error in two particulars. I did not say that there was no religion in the Holy Ro-
 man Empire" but that it was polite
 al rather than a religious institution did not say that the Methodists now had the keys of St. Peter; but that we did not believe that legend. and that fl the apostolic succession were more

than a myth. the Methodists had as much inheritance in it as the Catho- lies The gist of my remarks were in the statement of the Roman opposition to the Methodists on the ground that one of their schools was headed by a granddaughter of the patriot Garibaldi. and because they were csmplimented by Victor Emmanuel in the name of that Italy which has thrown off the yoke of the papacy. Again thanking you, I am Sincerely yours.
