Accurate information concerning the
United States Petroleum Company of
California and subsidiary corporation
Of Wyoming Of the same name, stock of
which is held locally, has been for
warded to The Advertiser in q letter
correcting certain statements recently
made regarding Captain Matson's con.
nections with the companies. -.-.. at
The letter, received by T.. d. Tenney
from w. p. Roth Of San, Francisco,
states that Captain Matson is not presi.
dent of either concern nor il he the
controlling owner, as was reported in
the article, according TO reports in local
brokers, Offices. The Advertiser nc,

shares of the Wyoming corporation by
the firm Of II. Armitage 4 Co., Ltd, I'd
local investor, stated; - -. 80
The control Of this company has
recently been secured by Captain

locally for more of the stock. ~.

] "Many of the statements Of I'll,

fornia, which l foated, nor is he tn,
b controlling owner Of either of thes
companies. but director in these cor
poTati0ns. He owns only one share d
stock in the Wyoming company, to en-
! able him to qualify as director in tina
company, ard he owns only 5000 share
8of stock in the California company, be

twenty-five other shareholders. ~,
J g Regarding the Organization O
these companies The Wyoming CON

But when a savage wants lo make a fire, he rubs a piece Ot hard wood swiftly between his palms pressing one end into hole m anOth- ,r piece of wood until a spark bursts out. What is the spark! It Is the energy of the savage's work turned to lcat When a horse strikes his iron shod hOofs hard on the pavement we see sparks fly; that is caused by the energy of the horses leg. When a Dain comes into the station and the brakes arc put on the sparks that fly from the wheels tell Us that heat ls being produced. The motion of the train and the force that stops 1t are being turned into heat. Now if the ,up shrinks, as we know it does, it's .,utcr layers are constantly pressing mon the inner ones, just as the brakes press upon the wheels of the uam. and that pressure is always making heat. If the sun shIinks only two hundred and fifty feet year that will supply it with all the heat 1t sends out in that year. But the sun is so enormous and the amount of shrinking every year is so small, that f. would take nearly ten thousand years before We could tell even with our most powerful telescopes that 1t had grown any smaller

THE WONDERS or THE SJN
 By ThcIma Ellsworth

The sun has always been a mys- tery. From tGg earliest tme Cha. savage has worsh.pped it a- che my~- terious source of light aD6 heat and although science has found out som. wonderful things, we -,r. know very little about it.
 The sun is g@UU00uO miles from ,ho earth. This distance changes slightly from day Co day, as the earth does not move round .he sun n @ circle but Is a r,f.o nearer to .t in tEe wine Ger than in summer.
 When We look through a telescope at i,, i- looks like 90 broad, round, white disc. shaded 80 little a. che edge. SO that We can see .t is mot really flat 1u, a globe
 There are black sp.gshes on i-. These are the famous sun spots which raH us SO much about the suu. They were discovered by Calico iu the year fGlI. For this great discovery he nearly lost his .lfo Since there was nothing Co be found about sun spots Iu tbc writings Of the great Greek scientist Aristotle, the people who were powerful. u Che tune u. EaI.uu said that what ho called sun spots were only the spots in che telescope OF in his eye, and he was pu, Co torture Co force him Co say there were mo spots ou the sun. But later i, was found that Calico was right.
 These suu spots are very interest rag. They measure often many thou sands of miles from side Go side and some of them are SO big that you could lay ten worlds upon them in a TOW and still the spots would be seen.
 If you were Co watch these spots from day to day you would notice, that they move across the sun. There are many of these sun spots which ap- pea. on one side Of the sun, travel across 1t and then disappear, and in a day Oy two appear again.
 No one can actually say what the Sunspots are. Some astronomers
