RUN AUTOMOBILES ON HOT
AIR

The latest attack on the oil in
dustry is the accusation that the
oil companies are creating a gas
oline shortage by exporting oil in
order to later raise the price of
gasoline.
To meet this unjust charge
the leading Pacific coast oil COM
panies state they will welcome
am investigation by the govern
ment. The companies state
that only 2 per cent of oil pro-
duced and passed through Calf
olnia is used for export purpos-
es. Large quantities are ship
ped to Washington, Oregon and
Nevada, but to prevent this an
interstate embargo and litiga-
ton would be necessary and it
would be unfair to cut these
states off from a supply.
Some day the public is going
to wake up to the fact that in
vestigations do not produce oil.
The politicians who for years
have blocked oil development
may now be able to FIGURE out a
way to run automobiles on the
hot air they emit in their speech

1t was two O'Clock by his watch
when he pushed his papers aside and
strolled up the path that led through
the woods toward the gorge. Hilary
had left st. Boniface behind him and
was approaching the gorge. from which
he could hear the shouts OF the gang
making preparations for the discharge,
when he saw Madeleine Rosny riding
along the road toward him.
She had evidently been to the Ste.
Marie territory. and. he suspected, on
visit to Brousseau. The path was
narrow. with the descending bank Of
the wooded gorge on one hand and q

young spruce and pine, upon the ether.

while the open mouth, distorted by
the bit and chain that pressed the I'M
Ger.ip, foamed. and the white of the
eyes cleaned wickedly beneath the
ears, flat with the head. Then Hilary
saw the horse rear and the shod hoofs
uprise. Then, somehow, he caught
the reins and leaped for the shelving
bank, and missed.
He lost his foothold. but he clung
to the reins. while the horse plunged
and reared, each Jerk almost tearing
his arms from their sockets. Now he
was swept against the branches of the
| trees that overhung the road. and
blinded by the swishing twess and

him, and the gorge below. where the
logs cracked and Numbered as they
battered their way down the river.

not stop the boiling animal; and then
he was flung free, and the riderless
horse went gallOplng down the road

He must have been stunned for n
few moments. for when he opened his
eyes he found himself lying upon

the steep bank. On the same ledge
was Madeleine Rosny ciinging to n

was uninJured. He gave Madeleine

AN OPEN LETTER
To the Voters Of Graham County:

AS a candidate for the nomina-
ton for the office of County At
torney, ! earnestly solicit your
support in the primary election
next Tuesday.
In asking for your support, |
10 so conscientiously and as one
Who has performed his official
duty fearlessly, impartially and
10 the best of his ability.
| make no bragS, neither have
| any confessions to make. and |
nave. nothing to hide. | have
been constantly on the job, giving
my time and attention to the
duties Of the office.
have used my best effort and
judgment in preserving law and
order, and in doing so have not
played 70 the galleries, nor ca
tered to any faction or class of
persons, but have. on the cor
trary. endeavored to represent
the best interests of the people
as a whole and at the same time
giving everyone fair treatment
and a square deal under the law
without fear or favor.
Every one can testify to this
who have had occasion to call on
me, irrespective of their position,
predicament. or the character of
their business.
All | ask of the voters, both
ladies and gentlemen, is the same
fair and impartial treatment in
making up your minds and rem
dering your decision at the polls
on Tuesday next.
1t is impossible to make a full
report of business transacted
and work done in this office for
the reason that only such mat
ters as are carried to the courts
appear of record and probably
not more than one-third of the
business handled ever reaches
the courts.
Of the criminal business han

January1, 1919, the record shows,

of thirty.one defendants were

have labored faithfully and
have done my best in the con-
duct of this office to give salts
faction and to merit the conf
dence of the people of the county,
and shall continue to do so if re-
tanned in the Office for another
term. Quite naturally, | will be
better prepared for future service
in this office, for when | took up
my duties as county attorney a
little over a year and a half ago,
it was as a beginner in the prac-
tice of law. and the experience
gained in that year and a half
will be of great value to me.
| only ask for far considera-
tion and treatment at your hands
and feel confident that | will get
both, and with this feeling of
confidence | submit my cause to
you and await your verdict on
next Tuesday.
Sincerely.
