LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

A fourth attempt was made yester-
day to kill the Bessessen newspaper
bill, prohibiting the sale OF editorial
space to interruptions politicians, but
Il was unsuccessful and the upper
house passed the measure and the
clincher was added. Senator Walton
started the ball to rolling, and Senator
Talcott took another whack at II.
Others were going TO speak about IT.
when Senator Bessessen rose and de-
livered an exhaustive address on the
bills merits and then wound UP by
moving the previous question. which
forbade the rest from having any say
in the matter.
After the bills passage, Senator Tai
colt got up with good natured sar-
casm and thanked the senator from
Wells county for the extreme courtesy
shown the senate and himself I'm cholS-
ing Off further debate, Apparently the
author did not appreciate the jest -
its fullest extent. for he rose and ser
iously thanked Senator Talcott and the
others for their kindness in passing
the bill.

SYNOPSIS OF
PRECEDING CHAPTERS
GEORGE BELLEW, a wealthy

GEORGE BELLEW, a wealthy
~ Young American. imagined
that he was hcartbroken when his
handsome fance. Sylvia March
mont. announced the breaking OF
their engagement and her APP
preaching marriage to the Duke
of Rvde. He was in London at
the time. and from there he
started out to mitigate his grief
BY a long walk in the country.
Soon firing. he stole aboard load
Of hay. He was routed out by
the WAGNER. whom he soundly
threshed. which 50 filled the wag-
oner with admiration that he let
him ride again.
Later, Bellew was aroused from
a nap he was taking in meadow
bv the sudden appearance OF a
boy who said his name was Small
Porges. The youngster had
bundle over his shoulder. and he
said he was starting for Africa in
search OF gold to relieve his Aunt
Anthea Devine from her financial
distress. The two walked back to
Dapplemere Manor. and Bellew
prevailed upon the lady to let
him board there.
The WAGNER. it developed, was
Adam, Anthea's right hand man
about the place. Bellew learned
from Adam that the furniture Of
the old manor was to be sold at
auction to satisfy the claims of
Squire Cassilis. whom Anthea had
refused to marry. The American
secretly furnished the old man
with a sum OF money with which
TO overbid all other buyers.
Meanwhile. he and Anthea be-
came more friendly. and on a
moonlight night he accompanied
her TO the home of an old witch.
who prophesied that the young
woman would be wooed and wed
by force, but that none save
him as bears the tiger mark
would be strong enough to win
the castle of her heart. On their
way back Bellew showed Anthea
the marks of tiger claws on his
arm. and she fed from him into
the house.
At the auction sale Bellew and
Adam bought every article put
up for sale. Adam. however, to
save Anthea' 5 pride. and without
thought of the consequences to
Bellew, told his mistress that the
American expected soon 10 be
married 10 London girl and had
bought the furniture for his own
home. And Bellew. also for
Anthea's sake. agreed to carry
the deception through. though it
meant the death of his own hopes.

turns Of the day Aunt Priscilla, said Bellew, rising
AT this familiar appellation, Anthea turned sharply
in time to see him stoop and kiss Miss Prisclas small,
white hand whereupon Anthea must needs curl her lip
at his broad back Then he opened the door and Miss
Priscilla tapped away more quickly than usual
A NTHEA was half sitting, half kneeling, among the
cushions in the of the deep window, appar-
emily still lost in contemplation OF the moon; SO much
So that she did stir lower her upward gaze
when Bellew and stood beside her.
Therefore, taking advantage OF the lxty OF her re-
gard he became absorbed in her loneliness.
Surely most unwise proceeding-in Arcadia, by the
light of a midsummer moon And he mentally con-
trsed the dark proud beauty OF her face with that OF
all the women he had ever known-to their utter and
complete dsparagement.
"We?~ inquired Anthea at last, perfectly conscious
of his look and finding the silence growing rksome yet
still with her eyes averted. well, Mr. BELIEVE

And the shri1nps, Mr.. Bel
lew" inquired Miss Priscilla,
busy at her sewing again.
"Outshrimped all other
shrimps soever!!" he answered,
CHANGING to where Anthca sat
with her chin propped in her
hand, gazing up at the waning
moon, seemingly luite oblivious
of him.
And did he p,ur out the
tea inquired Mis- Priscilla,
from the china pot with the
blue flowers and the Chinese
Mandarin tanning himself, and
very awkward, of course, with
his one hand,-I don't mean
the Mandarin, Mr.. Rellew,-
and very full of apologies"
"He did"
"Just as usual; yes, he al
ways does. And every year he
gives me three Jumps of sugar
and | only take one, YOU know.
It's a pity sighed Miss Pris-
ella, that it was his right arm,
a great pity" And here she
sighed again, and, catching her
self, glanced up quickly at Bel
lew, and smiled to see how COM
pletcly absorbed he was in con-
temptation of the silent figure
ir the windowseat. But,
after all, better a right arm than
a leg" she pursued; at least,

Certainly" murmured Bel
lew.
A man with only one leg,
you see, would be almost as
helpless as an-old woman
with a crippled foot

brighter every vear, added
Bellew, TURNING to her with his
pleasant smil, "yes, and, |
think, prettier..'
"Oh, Mr.. Belle" exclaimed
Miss Priscilla, shaking her head
at him reprovingly, yet looking
pleased, none the less, "how can
you be SO ridiculous? Good

Overproduction of gasoline and other

The present overproduction of crude
oil and the falling in price to twenty
five and thirty cents per barrel has
set many oil operators to thinking,
and gradually the subject of refining
is beginning to take hold as saving

other fields even in competition with
the Standard and the Union and the

fineries on this Coast. 1t is expected
that in the near future certain asso-

purpose of converting into profit

One of the latest ventures in this
field is that of the Honolulu Consoli-
dated Oil Company in the Midway,
which is now completing the installa-
ton on section 10, 1924, of eight
eighty-horse-power gas compressors of
the Bessemer Gas Engine Company's
make. These engines are to handle
100000 cubic feet of gas per day and
to extract from it 5000 gallons of gas
oline per day. That gasoline is scarce
in the California market when COM
pared with the demand is proved by
the fact that some weeks ago the
Standard imported from the Atlantic
Coast half a million dollars worth of

OPIUM OUTFITS ON SIBERIA

Whether the Collector of the Port,
i. r. Stackable, has the right to take
away the smoking outfits from the
Chinese on board foreign liners enter
ing this port, is a point that has been
raised in certain quarters. Anyway, so
far as can be learnt Stackable has
no idea of disseminating his searches
of all vessels arriving here.
The Siberia was gone over as thor
oughly as possible this morning, but
all that could be obtained were few
smoking outfits. These were confiscat-
cd together with a couple of small
tins of opium, which, it is believed,
were to be used merely for smoking,

NEW LAkEvIEW
GUSHER STRUCK

San Francisco Chronicle, July H.
The ghost of the Lakeview gusher
will not down. Oil men drew a quick
breath last Thursday when the news
was spread abroad that a new Lake
view gusher had broken loose a half
mile east of the great gusher on frac-
tional section %, 1924, and on the
same section. 1t came in on Wednes-
day afternoon at 1870, and for two
hours flowed at the tremendous rate
of 800 barrels per hour, when the well
sanded up. Great gate valves have
been put in place and stump and tank
storage are being provided to save
the output when the well is again
opened. The original gusher came in
at about the same rate and subse-
quently developed it's enormous pro-
duction The new well is 1926 feet
deep, about 400 feet deeper than the
big one, and is in the same stratum
at the bottom.
The famous Lakeview gusher has
produced 100000 barrels of oil since
it came in on March 10, 1910, of the
value of nearly four million dollars.
1t has dwindled in it's output to about
1900 barrels per day, which would be
a respectable and profitable showing
for any well anywhere.
Trouble comes with the petering
out of this great petroleum phenome-
non. j. M. Dunn, Parker Barrett and
Julius Fried have filed an amended
complaint in the Superior Court of
Kern county against the Lakeview Oil
Company and the Union Oil Company
to recover one-siXth royalty oil claim
ed by them under contract with the
Union.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
the Union is drilling territory imme-
diately adjoining the Lakeview sec
ton for the purpose of draining oil
from the underground supply of the
Lakeview.
