GAINS BY

CANDIDATES THE PAST TWO
WEEKS HAVE SHOWN MORE
REAL INTEREST THAN EVER
BEFORE.

The list of candidates printed else

startling, however, and simply show

dates failed to make gains last week.

them intend to act at an early date.
BY the way, one of the country candi-
dates nailed a man for ten years sub

other day, The subscription was only
incidental, too. When he pulled out
his money to pay and she saw she
hadn't got it all. she just told him to
come across with the rest of it, and
gave him coupon trade books for

winner the man? He gets a
mighty fine paper for ten years, if we
do say it ourselves, and has trade
books which are AS good as cash, and
better, for he can't spend them fool.

Say, We'll send that fellow to Goat
Island if he doesn't watch out. DO you
know why they call that island be-
tween San Francisco and Oakland.
Goat Island? Well, I'll tell you. It's
not because Burbank discovered goats
on it, nor is it like some towns that
have certain ward called Goat Island
because the citizens keep goats. It's
because it's nearly all rock with no
tin cans or old papers blowing around
and for that reason the goats couldn't
eat it,
BY the way, the postmaster says
that he believes we get more ltera-
ture from the fair committee at San
Francisco than any town within 200
miles. Well, why shouldn't we? There
are more people going from here than
from any town of its size in the Unit
ed States, at least, that is the claim
made by some. There is at least one
person, and there ain't any guess work
about that. Just above Santa Rosa

LATE COTTON MAY OPEN,
Thrashed Cotton Will Sell for 4I5c

l.. H. Love inspected the cotton
fields Friday and states that some
OF the late cotton will open. Three
weeks of sunshiny weather would
add materially to the cotton produc-
tion of the county. Mr.. Love is of
the opinion that thrashed cotton will
sell for as much as Az cents and
the farmers will be paid well to gath

NATIONS AND
PEOPLES Al
! FECTEDBY WAR
FIFTY-EIGHT PER CENT OF LAND
SURFACE, AND FIFTY-Slx PER
CENT OF POPULATION OF THE
WORLD DIRECTLY INVOLVED.

London, Dec. 5.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press with the
addition of Turkey and Portugal to
the ranks of the belligerents, the
area OF hostilities has been extended
to approximately 5S per cent of the
land surface Of the globe, and about
Sc per cent Of the total population Of
the earth must be classed as techni-
cally belligerent, says the London
Daily Chronicle.
In round numbers, out of total
land surface of 51,5o000O square miles
(excluding the uninhabitable regions
of the Arctic and Antarctic) 3O,O00,000
square miles is occupied by the IL
belligerent powers, and about 1000
100000 of the 1,S00 ,000,0 900 human be-
ings on earth are directly involved
in the great war.
Apportioning the area and popula-
tion between the two opposing
groups, it will be found that there
is a vast preponderance of both on
the side of Britain and her allies,
which own 27,5OO,OOO square miles
and have about S40,OO0,O00 people
under their rule, against the 2,000,-
600 square miles and 100000, 900 peo-
pie to the credit of Germany, Aus
tria-Hungary and Turkey.
If the affected areas are analyzed
by continents, it will be found that in
Europe 100000 square miles out OF
a total area of 3,S50,O00 and 3S0,000,-
600 people out of 475,000 000-or
nearly so per cent in both cases
are at war.
In Asia the belligerent area
amounts to 100000 square miles
Qeaving out of account the interior
of Arabia, political no-man's land,
of about a million square miles,.
the total area OF the continent being
about 16,500,000 square miles. Hence
over SO per cent is at war. OF the
population of Asia 475,00000O out OF
100000 OOO-say 4Sh per cent-are at
war. The only neutral regions are
the Italian and Spanish colonies, and
the native states of Abyssinia and
Liberia.
Curiously enough, Australasia and
Oceania, although the most remote
from the primary zone of hostilities,
have the highest percentage of bel
ligerency of any of the continental
divisions of the earth, over 95 per
cent in area and 81 per cent in pop
ulation.
South America occupies the hap
piest position of all. Out of an area
of over 100000 square miles, and
a population of about 52,5OO,OO0 only
12S, 500 square miles of territory and
100000 human beings are subject to
any OF the combatants.
The percentage of area is less than
two and of population less than one.
Thus the continent whose very |
name was formerly regarded as de-
noting the most favorable soil on
earth for the termination of wars
has, strangely enough, the distinc- |
tion OF being almost entirely at peace,
while more than half of the world !
is at war

Company is here on brief visit with

ago and spent several weeks scouting
the field for his company. His work is
not confined to any one field now, but
he spends his time in the different
fields of Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas.
Mr. Perryman says many of the oil
men are predicting that the situation
will get better after the first of the
year. but he does not see anything in
sight that will produce change for
the better that soon. Gushing is hold
ing its own, and as long as that won

Mr. Perryman is of Indian blood and
since he has been with one of the big

NEED TINE TO BUILD STANDS.
BrOOk1yn BatlainG Inspector Insists
on Adequate Foundation.

According to p. !. Carlin. Superintendent
OF Buildings in brooklyn. the Feds new
grounds at Washington Park cannot be
built within two months. as planned.
Carlin said yesterday that the Ward Com
pany would not be permitted TO use the
old concrete piers on which the wooden
stands were built by Ebbetss club six
teen years ago. As the IRE laws make
the construction OF concrete and steel
stands compulsory and as Washington
Park is filed in land to the depth OF
forty feet. Carlin said that entirely new
foundations would be necessary. Accord
Ing to builders. concrete cannot be poured
until the frost IL out OF the ground and
the task OF constructing the piers for the
new stands will consume at least four
weeks. The steel must be ordered six
weeks in advance and the work OF actually
building the stands will require two
months or longer. Under these conditions
u was stated by prominent contractor
yesterday. the Feds could not expect
to have Washington Park ready before
next summer, II then.
The disman'led wooden stands at WASH
ington Park when the Dodgers played
there mad room for $4,000 spectators.
President Gilmore OF the Federal League
announced last week that the new stands
in brooklyn would seat $4,000 persons.
II Gilmore's plan Ii carried out. II In
said. the grand stand will have to be 4
double decker. 1t WAS reported yesterday
that the Feds ten year lease OF Washing
ton Park calls Tor "a yearly rental Of
$4,000. plus the taxes. amounting to
about $4,000. Baseball men who have
built modern plants say that the Ward
Company will have 10 put up at least
$500. 900 to get Washington Park ready
and that the players salaries for this
year will amosnt to $4,000 at the least.
