Oil Market Improves
and Prices Increase

San Francisco Chronicle, March 4
The Union Oil Company, which may
be considered to have expert knowl-
edge of the present value of crude Pc
troleum of the fuel grade, has given
its opinion in a tangible manner that
the fuel grade is worth thirty
cents per barrel for it's marketing pur-
poses, and has offered to take the
whole of the storage oil of the indie
pendent Producers Agency at that
price.
The proposition made is that the oil
on storage, of which there are several
million barrels, shall be certificated
so that the simple transfer of the GER
tificates should transfer ownership in
the oil represented by those certifi-
Gates. The certificates will bear no
interest, as they will be used as bills
of sale for the quantity of oil named
in the certificates. These certificates
will be taken up by the Union and
cash will be paid for them Not less
than 100000 barrels per month will
participate in current sales.
One of the conditions of this pro
posal is that the Union shall have the
right to veto applications for mem
bership in the Agency. While an in
creased membership in the Agency is
desirable, the Union wishes to be in
position where it may not be
swamped with oil, and where its re
sources may not be crippled by toe
large offerings A general meeting OF
Representatives of the Agency has
been called for March 9th at Bakers
field to discuss and ratify the propo
sition
The moral effect of this movement
will be felt by all the oil producers o.
California, and it will help tone III
the market, as we'll as to stimulate
consumption, for it has been an oper
secret for some months past that con
sumers have been laying in stocks sui
ficient only for present needs in tn,
hope that the prices of oil will fal
much lower.

.Dandruff! !: 90

There is just this much about it:
Dandruff is a germ disease, is
most untidy, annoying, and leads
to badness. When chronic, it
is very stubborn, but surely
yields to thorough and energetic
treatment. All germs must be
destroyed, the scalp must be
restored to health. Here is the
remedy: Ayers Hair VigOr.

F. e. Fitzgerald has applied to the
authorities of Los Angeles for a
franchise for a double ten-inch pipe
line from the northern city boundary
to the harbor at San Pedro. The dis
lance covered by the franchise is
about twenty-seven miles. Fitzpatrick

from which the Midway Gas Company
expects to get it's supply Of natural

patrick begins at the point where the
Midway Companies county franchise
ends for its sixteen-inch pipeline. 1t
is believed to be a step toward the
introduction of natural gas into Los
| Angeles.
There is a large supply OF gas in
the Honolulu wells, and Los Angeles
will prove to be a very profitable mar
ket for 1t.
It was at first proposed to convert
the gas produced by the Honolulu into
gasoline, but the price offered William

Thus will the plans of the fuel

jolt Similarly and for the same rea-

Unbusfnessilke Methods.
While all the producers agree that
il would be wise to suspend-or at
least, considerably curtail-produc-
ton at this time in view of the ac-
cumulating surplus, they fail to act
upon that opinion, each looking to his
neighbor to set the example. Each is
afraid that if his neighbor does not
suspend or curtail his output he will
drain the oil away from his land, it
being the custom to drill wells as
close to the boundaries as possible,
for two purposes-to obtain oil from
the underground strata of his neigh
boris land and to prevent his neigh
Dor from doing the same. But it would
seem that sensible business men
would be able to come to an agree.
ment that would protect the rights of
all, while helping to diminish the sur
plus that is keeping prices down.
A similar situation exists with re.
Ispect to the proposition of water seep-
ages which threaten to destroy some
of the oil deposits. While all are
agreed as to the existence and grow
ing encroachments of the evil, they do
not seem to be able to get together
and attack the danger unitedly. The
question of expense stands in the
way. Each would like to see his
neighbor bear the burden, or the PEG.
pie of the whole State contribute to
the expense of protecting the oil in
dustry, but he is unwilling to con
/ tribute his proper share toward be
ginning and continuing the work.
A little more experience is what the
oil men need, and when they get il
they may find that it will cost then
dearly.

NIGH SCHOOL BUILDING RuMoRED

Rumors that the city Board of Edu-
cation is contemplating the beginning
OF movement for the erection OF a
new high school building seem to be
we'll founded although the members OF
the board deny that any official action
has been taken. The school enroll
ment is now about 43O and many more
are expected during the next month
or two. The building occupied was
planned for and used many years as
grade school. It is said to be not only
Of poor design for its present use but
crowded and unsanitary as we'll.
Comment has been made upon the
probability OF new school interfering
with the mayors plans for the pur-
chase of the electric light plant by the
city. This purchase could probably be
financed, at least in large part, by the
issue OF mortgage bonds which do not
pledge the general credit OF the city or
add to the city's bonded debt. 1t
would thus not interfere with the issue
of city school bonds.
Members of the board say that it
would take several years to effect the
completion of the building and that
they are going to start in time.

PRINTERS ORGANIZE CLUB.

The printers of this city met Monday
night at Staudt's hotel for the purpose
of organizing a Ben Franklin Club.
After eating with relish chicken
supper that was good enough for a
king the printers listened to Paul M.
Nahmens, assistant secretary OF the
Wisconsin State Franklin Club, who
gave talk and demonstration of the
cost system. The demonstration was
we'll received and created some discus
sion among the printers present.
This was the first meeting the Mani
towoc printers have had for long
time and everyone present felt that the
organization of club would be con-
ducive to good results and create a
greater spirit of cordiality among the
members of the craft. With this pur-
pose in mind they agreed to organize
and the following officers were elected:
President, VIM. Brandt; secretary and
treasurer, H. G. Berndt. The meet
ing then adjourned to meet again Fri
day night.
Otto Zander, publisher of the Bril-
lion News, WIS present and joined the
club.

The PARCELS POST LAW.

The Senate Committee on Post offices
and Post Roads is sending out PAM
phlets summarizing the provisions of
the new Parcels Post law, which will
go into effect January !, 1913.
The law provides that hereafter
fourth class mail matter shall en-
brace all other matter, including farm
and factory products not now embraced
by law in either the first, second or
third class" Any article is maiabe
that is not over eleven pounds in weight
nor greater in size than seventy-two
inches in length and girth combined.
1t must not be of form or kind likely
to injure the person of any postal en-
ploye or damage the mail equipment
or other mail matter, and it must not
be "of character perishable within a
period reasonably required for trans
portation and delivery"
There is fiat rate of cent per
ounce up to four ounces, regardless of
distance. Above four ounces the rates
are by the pound or fraction thereof
and vary with the distance the article
is to be transported. For rural routes
and city delivery the rate is cents for
the first pound and cent for each ad-
ditional pound, making the cost OF post
age on an eleven.pound package Is
cents.
For the purposes of graduating the
charges for longer distances the coun-
try, with it's territories and possessions,
is divided into eight postal zones.
Within the fifty-mile zone, which rep
resents an area having mean radial
distance of fifty miles from the center
OF any given unit of area, the charge
Is cents for the first pound and 3
cents for each additional pound, max
ing the postage for an eleven-pound
package IS cents. Within the 100
mile zone the rate is cents for the
first pound and 4 cents for each addi-
tional pound. For the 300-mile zone
it is I cents for the first and cents
for each additional pound. For the
600-mile zone 5 cents for the first and s
cents for each additional pound. For
the l,0O0-mile zone cents for the first
and cents for each additional pound
For the | ,400-mile zone 10 cents for the
first and 8 cents for each additional
pound. For the l,S00-mile zone IL cents
for the first and 10 cents for each adj
ditional pound. For distance exceed
inf l,S00 miles the rate is II cents a
pound straight, or 1872 for an eleven
pound package.

BASE BALL.

Manitowoc and the Weinbrenners
divided double header at Milwaukee
Sunday afternoon, Manitowoc winning
the first game, to 3 and the Vein
brenners coping the final contest, 8 to
6. Stoney Nc Glynn was complete
puzzle to the shoemen artillery in the
opener and Manitowoc walked away
with the long end of the score.
The second game was a give and
take affair Nc Glynn essayed to
make two wins in one day but the
shoemen couldn't see it that way and
Stony was chased to the clubhouse in
the second inning, Bauch taking up
the burden.
Three thousand people saw the locals
win one and lose one which, however,
counted as two wins because the Vein
brenners, contrary to league rule,
pitched a "big league" twirler, Shorty
Lewis, in the second game against the
protest of Manager Herzog.
