OIL PRODUCTION
OF CALIFORNIA


NONAeAAoNN AO--A ~-oN N~%@NHs
at Wortham and by the end of the
year completed the connection to the
new refinery at Ell Segundo, the work
on which began during the year The
refinery was practically completed by
the end of December and will begin in
the grst part of January with ca
pacity of 5000 barrels a day, to be
rapidly increased. The Associated Oil
Co. drilled test we'll in the Elk Hills,
San Joaquin Valley. in Sec 80. T. 30.
r. "a, and obtained a small production,
thus proving the oil-bearing character
OF these hills, as had been predicted by
the government geologists. The oil
was found at depth of more than
5000 feet and proved to be of 2S b.. an
unusually high gravity
Important discoveries were made by
drilling along the border of the San
Joaquin Valley to the east and north
east Of the McKittrick field, in the
Beridge and Lost Hills fields, result
ing in considerable extension of the
possible productive territory.
Interesting developments We're also
made in the Cat Canyon field On No
vember 25 the Union or Co. obtained
a 3,60O-barrel well of high-grayity oil.
Transportation facilities in the Cali
fornia fields were increased by the
line of the Associated Oil Co. from
| Canarez station to the Lost Hills
Larger Oil Consumption.
While there was the expected accu-
mutation of stocks it is important to
mote the considerable increases in con-
sumption important features of which
were contracts with Arizona smelters
for 10000 barrels month, which were
made at the beginning of the year. In
October the Canadian Pacific Railway
was buying 10000 barrels a month for
use in terminal yards and on the
steamers plying to the north. 1t is
said to be the plan of this railway
eventually to use oil only for its pas
senger service as far as Kamloops,
b. G. The year proved strenuous for
the Independent Producers Agency
and after many methods for relieving
the situation had been suggested the
association agreed to plan for pro-
viding 10000, 900 barrels of storage,
and at the end of the year contracts
for building this storage had been
made.
Inasmuch as the consumption has
been increased beyond what was deerl-
ed probable at the beginning of the
year it can not be considered that the
critical conditions existing in Cali
fornia in 1911 have been entirely with
out permanent benefit to the trade,
which has now reached a position
where the addition of even one or two
large steamship companies to the ranks
of oil burners, or equivalent consump
ton in other directions, would make
the demand equal the present produc
tion. It is not too much to expect thai
unless a great increase in produetiei
takes place in 1912 the increase Of
manufactures and OF domestic eon
sumption will reduce the accumulated
stocks.

Islam. 1t is by no means all converts but only
a few individuals here and there who pay any
attention to the deeper religious requirements
No abrupt break in polygamous conditions is
demanded, as Is the case in Christian missions:
while magical practices and other superst-
lions are tolerated.
The convert thus loses nothing but on the
contrary gains In social position and considera-
tion SO that his adhesion is almost matter
of course"
How Islam FORCES ahead in India is shown
by these figures
In 1871 there were, in Bengal. 17,OOo.ooo
H1ndoos and 16,500,00O Mohammedans. In
1901 there were 100000 Hindoos and more
than nearly 19,5O0,000 Mohammedans.
Thus. in thirty years, the Mohamm edans,
who, at the start, numbered half million less
than the Hindoos, had not only made up that
deficit but placed themselves 10000 in the
lead.
Basing his statement on these figures, Lieut..
Col. Mukerjee of the Indian Medical Service,
in his book entitled "A Dying Race" maintains
that in Bengal the future is with the Moham-
medans.
In explanation of the success OF Moslem
methods in India, Christian missionary who
knows that land says:
THE Moslem propaganda is Asiatic; we
are not. He can ingratiate himself with the
people; he can make himself one of them in
every detail of social life; he will give his
daughter In marriage to the convert and while
we are learning to speak the language, he
grows into their very life.
The Moslem propaganda is keen
itinerant; why should not our preachers and
catechists move about among the people with
less show of European tent and boat?
Martyr Clark says that as ninety-tve per
cent of the people live in villages it were wis
dom to learn from the Moslem monarchs, who
propagated Islam in the villages their power
persisted, but their religion remained"
He sums up admirably the difference be-

tween the proselyt1zing method OF Christian
and Moslem by saying that the former, IN or
der to succeed, must be less OF a combatant
and more of woOer."
In the great islands of Malaysia Islam is
likewise meeting with marked success.
Christian missionary in those remote parts de-
clares that the population of large portions OF
Java, Celebes. Sumatra, and other less i'm
portant islands is already quite Islamized.
In Borneo, he adds, Moslem influence is in
creasing steadily in the same proportion as
Paganism Is declining Only at such places
where there are Christian missions Is this prog
ress checked successfully. But in the greater
part of the island, the Mohammedan propa-
ganda goes on without resistance.

themselves on the shores of other countries.
whether temporarily or permanently, are gen.
orally anxious to make proselytes. 1t is not
especially religious conviction that drives
them, but rather commercial interest. Those
who emigrate are always people who gain their
living by trading.
Now pagan tribes in Malaysia live In CON-
munism. The family extends itself to clan
clans grow to tribes; and family relation is
the only tie that holds together these oommu-
mites. Only among ones family does one feel

woman belonging to that tribe. He and other
fellow Mohammedans create Moslem family

One striking thing
about this spread of the
doctrines Of Islam is
that European colonial
governments tend to
help rather than him
der it. The pacilication
OF heather countries
and the suppression OF
the slave trade, it
seems, have been fav-
Orable to Mohammed-
anism.
One missionary ex-
plains why Islam is al
ready in possession OF
great sections of north
and east Africa, and is
steadily advancing, in
this wise:
1T has often been
said that the transition
from pagan 1sm to
Christianity Is very
much more abrupt
than that to Islam. But

Railway Pro oiects in Africa.

Five vast railway projects for the opening up of Africa are at present either in progress or seriously consid- cred. First, there is the great Cape to Cairo railway, whose northern and southern sections are pushing slowly to an ultimate junction in mid-Africa.
 Then there is the French Trans Saharan, and the further scheme of that nation to join the valley of the Niger and Lake Tchad with the Allan tic coast by means of the Trans Sudanese railway. Germany also has planned the Trans-Equatorial road, her first important railroad develop ment in Africa.
 The fifth enterprise contemplates building a line from the Straits of Gibraltar southerly along the Atlantic coast by way of Casablanca and Agadir to Dagar. which is an import ant point of shipment for West Af- rica, where France has lately built an important naval station.-Scientiflc American.

HEwED TIES MOST POPULAR
Their Production Has Become Rec ognized and Profitable industry
 of the South.

Statistics prepared by the Forestry Service of the United States show that of the 125,000,000 crossties bought by the railways last year almost 80 per cent. were hewed ties. The sawed tie, while occasionally produced by mills built particularly for this purpose. is n ore generally by-product of general lumber operations.
 The best board cuts are taken from the side of the logs, and the heart IS boxed into ties and cut off to stand ard lengths. Small logs are also cut into ties when the value of the lumber they would make is not more than that of the ties the same stick would pro- duce.
 The greatest tie producing section in the United States is that portion of the country extending from Virginia to Missouri and Arkansas south from the Ohio river to the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to sawmill, logging and tic operations ill this section, says the Railway Age Gazette, there are thou sands ol farmers producing millions of crossties annually.
 In seasons of the year when agri- cultural pursuits do not .equire atten- tion they cut ties and logs, often put ting in crews of men for the winter months. These men are paid by piece work from 10 to 15 cents apiece for making a tie. An experienced cutter will make from 10 to 15 ties day and will produce thousand ties in the four months from November to Febru- ary.
