Southern Pacific Ordered to
Return Valuable Cali
fOrnia Properties
LANDS OBTAINED
THROUGH FRAUD
Enough Petroleum to Keep Warships
Supplied 25 Years-Another Import
ant Suit Involving Oil Lands Is Now
Pending.

Pending.
LOS ANGELES, Calf, June u. =
Ten sections of California lands near
the town of McKittrick, Kern county,
valued at $15,O66,oo were declared to
have been fraudulently patented by
the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
.pany in decision by Judge Robert S.
Bean, of the United States district
court of Oregon, filed here yesterday.
The land, part of a large area which
was alleged to have been claimed IL
legally by the railroad company, was
ordered restored to the government.
The land is in the Elk Hills district
of Kern county and would supply the
navy with petroleum for twenty-five
years, according to Willis NJ. Mills,
special counsel for the government,
who made the closing argument here
before Judge Bean last January.
Another suit involving oil lands IN
the same area and valued by govern
ment experts at $320,000,000 is pend
ing in the United States district court,
Judge BENJAMIN F. BIedsoe having de-
MED a motion few days ago by the
railroad company to dismiss the action
on the ground that the statute Of linn
itations had supervened.
In the suit just decided hearings
were held in various parts of the
| country during period extending
over three years The government al
| legged that G. ". Eberlein, a land
agent of the Southern Pacific COM
} pany, had filed affidavits that the land
had been inspected and found to be
4 Lot mineral, but agricultural, and sub
| iect to claim by the railroad company
under an act passed by congress in
1868. The railroad company thereupon
| applied 70 rpatents, which were granted
in 1894. At the trial of the case, how
ever, Eberlein testified that he never
had caused the lands 70 be inspected,
as set forth in the affidavits, upon
/ which the government granted title.

ORIGIN OF THE FIELD PEA AS
A VALLEY FORAGE CROP

With a foundation based on a
triple alliance of peas, pork and po-
tatoes as a nucleus, it is apparent to
the most casual observer that the San
Luis valley is destined before any
great length of time to become
known as one of the greatest agricul-
tural and stock-rasing sections of the
United States, says the Pueblo Chief
tain. When Fairfield Sylvester
planted few acres of Mexican peas
in 1891 for fertilizing purposes little
did he dream that he was sowing the
seed of what would one day be the
basis of great scheme of crop rota-
ton and stock feeding, with view
of adding nitrogen to a piece of run
out" soil.
Mr.. Sylvester planted the Mexican
peas with no idea of turning the crop
to any commercial advantage. How
ever, in the fall, being short of pas
turage, the thought occurred to him
that he might utilize the then con-
sidered worthless peas for green feed
and so turned to gain at a rapid rate.
taking on a firm and substantial
flesh. From that scanty and acci-
dental beginning the cultivation and
feeding of peas has grown to such
proportions that there are at least
100000 acres of this crop in the
valley at the present time. Only a
small percentage of the total acreage
Is harvested, the stock being turned
directly into the fields thus saving
all cost of harvesting and threshing.

INCREASE IN TAX ORDERED

This week, following the receipt of
the tax schedules from Assessor 2. T.
Wilson of this county, the State Tax
commission sent letter to the board
of county commissioners ordering a
raise in the valuation of Rio Grande
county of an amount which would be
around 100000.
A raise of $639.OO is asked on the
irrigated and grazing lands and i'm
provements. The valuation of cattle
is placed at $500, milch COWS $50
A raise of $1,000 is asked on auto
mobiles.
This raise is asked in the face of
the fact that Mr.. Brown represent
ing the Tax commission was here this
summer, and after being taken over
large part of the county by Assessor
Wilson, stated that he would report
favorable upon Mr.. Wilson's sched
ules.
Apparently the Tax commission of
this state cannot get over the idea
that the land in this county is all
like several sections out in the valley.
which is carrying mortgages for $1O,-
900 to $4,000 and was purchased
at a price ranging from $50 to 500
an acre. This land is probably now
the property of those who loaned the
amounts on it.-Prospector.
The board of county commission
ers has been in session large part of
this week and have formulated a res
olution to the state tax commission
in protest to the increase, suggesting
that visit to the valley would con-
vince the commission members that
the land was not under valued in as
sessment made by Assessor Wilson.

itself the responsibility of placing be-

which has always received such
splendid patronage from the citizens
of Monte Vista and surrounding
towns, and will present the first num-
Der, Kellogg-Haines Singing Party

This will be an especially interesting
number and among other things we
shall hear selections from "The Bo-
hemian Girl" II Trovatore," and
perhaps that most beautiful "Sextette
from Lucia"
This program will be followed one
each month unless the dates are
changed for some good reason, by
Panama Singers" consisting OF four
we'll known singers who will tell us
in song and story of the great Pana-
ma project. On December Is, DR..
Driver, one of the most famous lee
turers, will be with us. On January
II, 1916, Smith Damron, the Potter
Craftsman will show us all about the
evolution OF piece of clay, from the
time it is soft, shapeless mass until
the finished vase is produced. The
last of the lecture course will be
held on January 26, 1916, and will
be another musical number, "The
Maurers," which promises to be ex-
ceptionally fine.

of entertainment and instruction Of

Childish Characteristics.

The prominent characteristics OF
childhood are innocence, trustfulness,
sensitiveness and curiosity, and on
our treatment OF these qualities the
future development OF. the child will
largely depend. To keep the childish
bloom of innocence as far as possible
untainted; to honor trustfulness by
answering truth and the firm inten.
ton never to deceive; to meet sensi'
tiveness with tender consideration
and not with hardness and lack OF
sympathy; to treat curiosity as mind
hunger and not to starve but feed It.
these are considerations of vital mo-
ment. The child's sense of wonder Is
q lovely endowment which should
never be chilled or discouraged. For
the child the world is full of surprises.
The whole earth. the heavens above
and the waters beneath, the color and
scent Of flowers, the wind in the trees,
the songs of birds. the fight Of the
swallow or the butterfly, all are beau.
full surprises in which the child should
be encouraged to find delight and in
struetion.-Rev. R P. Downes. LID.

TWO BOYS ESCAPE JAIL
AT CHANDLER AND GET BUSY

Chandler, Okla, Aug. 3l.-The sec
ond Jail break in the past two months
was made from the Lincoln county
Jail here Sunday night. Two boys,
Miner Smith and Redford Franklin,
charged with the burglary of stores
at Davenport and Sparks escaped
from the women's department of the
jail by removing the window casing
and prying out the iron bars across
the window. The work was carried
on very quietly and the guard at the
Jail did not know of the escape until
Monday morning.
Two horses and brides were stolen
Monday night from T. w Green, a
farmer, living two miles west of
Chandler, and some time during the
night store at Welston, Okla, was
burglarized OF two suits OF clothing.
Officers are working on the theory
that the boys may have been the ones
who stole the horses and burglarized
the store. Sheriff George Arnold and
deputy left Chandler Monday morn
ing for Wellston in the hopes of To-
eating the boys.
