One of the most important suits
ever brought in Federal courts will
soon be begun by action of the de-
partment OF justice to contest the
right of the Southern Pacific railroad
to the oil in about 700 square miles,
or about 100000 acres Of territory
in the districts of Marlcopa, Midway,
McKittrick and Coalinga, where the
railroad lays claim of ownership OF
each alternate square mile, as is well
known to all petroleum prospectors.
Some of these Southern Pacific
holdings have been developed by
companies closely affiliated with the
railroad, and as result Of some OF
this development great wells have
been struck. But for the most part
the l1nd lies idle until other oil drill
crs work around the edges and de
vclop oil, when the Southern Pacific
wakes up and puts down wells in self
defense.
What the Government hopes to do
is to throw all of this land back into
Government ownership-that is, OF
course. all land grants which are not
being developed as agricultural land
although most OF it is of compare
lively of little value for such purpose

Diamonds Lend an
Air of Prosperity
to The Wearer.

Diamonds always have been and
always will be good investment
Diamonds on the hand are better
than money in the bank.
They indicate prosperity. They
afford untold pleasure. They at
tract individual attention.
Nothing could possibly be a more
acceptable gift than splendid dla-
mond. Nothing could ever give
more returns on the investment
than the purchase Of a good diamond.
No matter how little or how much
you wish to spend, this store has
for your inspection complete stock
of good diamonds. We buy only
good diamonds. We buy diamonds
that you and we can both be proud
of.
We are willing to sell them at a
modest margin. Each diamond we
sci! is guaranteed to be exactly
what we represent it to be. We
show diamonds both loose and
mounted; and we would very much
like the pleasure Of showing you
what our diamond stock consists OF
