.OCEANO BEACH HOTEL
WILL COST 100000
Provision Made for Tourists on
Their Trips To and From
Los Angeles

Another link in the chain of great
tourist hotels along the coast from San
Diego to San Francisco will be added
by the building of a half million dol
lar hostelry on Oceano Beach, accord
ing to rumors current in Los Angeles
yesterday. Los Angeles capital, it is
said, will back the enterprise. The
building Of a tourist hotel at Oceano,
on the same order as the Potter at
Santa Barbara, would furnish the win
ter tourist, who invades that section
from Los Angeles, on short journeys,
with a halfway stopping place be-
tween that city and Paso EJbles Hot
Springs and lessen to a marked degree
the long jump between resting places
they have heretofore been forved to
make.
The northern part of Southern Cali
fornia has for years been deprived of
handsome hotel for the accommoda-
ton of winter visitors, although that
section of the state is generally con-
ceded to harbor one Of the protest
portions of California. There are sew
eral smaller hotels at Oceano but their
size is not ample to house the tourist
traffic that flows yearly in aud out of
Los Angeles. Several years ago
hostelry was erected at San Luis Obs
DO in the interior but it was destroyed
by fire. Since that time minor attempts
have been made by local capital in
that section to build large hotel until
the aid of Los Angeles money was en-
listed. The past three years have seen
marvellous development on the beach
ant harbor frontage about Oceano, the
total expenditures on piers, pavilions,
oil refineries and breakwater amount
ing to several millions of dollars.
Work on the big structure at Oceano
will probably begin this fall. 1t is said
prominent Los Angeles hotel man
will have charge of the management.
Oceano Beach is halfway between
Los Angeles and San Francisco on the
Southern Pacific coast line road and is
directly opposite Bakersfield in the
San Joaquin valley, from which city
a cross country railroad is building.
It has a beach that is twenty-one miles
long and is so hard and smooth at
low tide that many autoists are at
tracted there for racing.

NAVAL DESTROYERS BURN
OIL AS THE ONLY FUEL
Last Six BattIeships Designed
Use Both Coal and Petro-
Ieum in Burners

BAKERSFIELD, July 16.-Congress-
man S. c. Smith has received the fol-
lowing letter from Secretary of the
Navy George Won L. Meyer, relative
to the use of oil as fuel in the navy:
''Your letter of the 18th inst rela-
tive to the use of oil as fuel in the
navy has been received.
'In reply 1 would inform you that
the last fifteen destroyers designed by
the department, a number of which are
completed and in, service, burn oil as
the only fuel. The last six battleships
designed burn both oil and coal. The
destroyers have an oil tank capacity
of about 210 tons each, and the battle
ships about 400 tons each. For these
twenty-one vessels it would require
about 6150 tons to fill their oil tanks
once. OF course the quantity of oil
used per annum would depend upon
the rapidity with which this supply was
exhausted.
'I am, of course, unable to make a
statement of any value as to the prob
able use of oil in the navy in the flu
ture. At the same time, all indica-
tions point to it's continued use, both in
the vessels now designed and in fu-
ture designs. 1t must be understood,
however, that this last is merely a
surmise, as each new design is con-
sidered on it's merits and a definite
statement that oil fuel will be used in
all future vessels cannot be made"

PRICE Of OIL REMAINS
STEADY At NINETY CENTS
War Among Big MarketerS Now
Thought to Be at Sat-
isfaCtory End

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-The
price of oil on the bay remains 90
cents, no further cut having been made
to date. So far as can be learned no
contracts of any consequence have been
made. Operators who have endeaVored
to sell oil to the Standard and Asso-
ciated have been repelled by the very
low bids.
The furry caused by the recent cut
in the price of fuel in the bay market
has subsided and to all outward ap-
.pearances matters are going along as
if nothing of the kind had happened.
1t looks and feels as if the war" is
over. That is the way everybody is
beginning to feel.
The Standard is conceded to be the
initiator of the slash. While it may
have appeared automatically necessary
from the viewpoint of the crowd at, 26
Broadway, it is nevertheless severely
condemned by all classes of business
Judgment
The producers whose opinions are
worth while do not appear to be. in
the least disturbed over the possibility
of continuance of the war" That was
tried before, to the great loss of all
concerned, and in Consequence it is ar
gued it will not occur again. By eX-
perience men get wisdom and wise
men never war in business when they
have no show to effectually down the
other fellow, as is the case in the pres
eth threatened contest.
The oil business is expensive and
those engaged in it, great or small,
must make profit or go broke, and
who wants to go broke?
There is little enough profit in bar
rel of fuel oil at a dollar in the bay
market and there is less at 30 cents.

.ENJOINS MINING COMPANIES
FROM DISTRIBUTING TAILINGS

SACRAMENTO, July 16.-Superior
Judge Post yesterday made an order
permanently restraining the north
American Consolidated Gold Mining
company or any other, person, firm or
corporation from discharging tailings
or other debris on adjoining lands and
into Slate creek, Little Slate creek or
the Yuba river, or any stream or
streams emptying into that river.
The order granting the injunction is
OF the utmost importance to the valley
land owners, inasmuch as the court
order runs against the land, SO that the
mine cannot be operated at ALL
If the order stands the test of the
appellate court the difficulty heretofore
had with hydraulic and other miners
will have been greatly simplihed.

FORTY-FOUR STRINGS ARE
BUSY IN FULLERTON FIELD

FULLERTON, July 16.-Forty-four
strings are busy in the Fullerton and
Brea canyon districts and two in the
Puente hills. indicating that despite
one or two decisions to curtail further
developments here there is little sign
of a slow-up in work; too many wells
were under construction when the
Lakeview came in.
In the Olinda section the Puente is
drilling two, the Santa Fe eight; the
Industrial ten, Olinda Land two, Col
umbia three, Graham & LOTUS six, be-
sides the one suspended in the La

STANDARD WILL BUY
ONLY ON DAILY RUNS

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-No more
will the Standard make quantity con-
tracts, according to a statement made
by an operator who recently tried to
get a bid for his oil from the company.
He was told that hereafter the Stand
ard will buy oil on daily runs only, the
price to be adjusted monthly. APP
parently the Associated is to pursue
the same policy, as that company has
refused for some time to make con-
tracts.
This appears to have been adopted
as an effectual plan for breaking the
price at the well, following a cut of 10
cents to the consumer.
