SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, October g..
Reductions in prices offered by the
Standard Oil Company of California
for crude oil at the we'll in all Cali
fornia fields were announced by the
company to be effective today. The
reductions range from 2 cents per
barrel for oil of % degrees gravity to
2S cents per barrel for oil of 35 de-
grees gravity and above. Oil below
% degrees gravity is not affected.
The new prices are based on GO
cents per barrel for oil from 19 de-
grees gravity to and including 1919
degrees gravity, and an increase of 1
cent per barrel for each degree in
gravity above 1913.
The reduction is said to be due to
continued overproduction of oil in
southern California, the bringing in
of new wells and a seasonal diminu-
tion in the consumption of petroleum
products.

necessary to make q time exposure to
get the desired picture, but the camera
cannot be held stesdily enough with
the hands to avoid doubling the image;
1t is, however, a simple matter to hold
the camera steady if cane is carried

cane two holes are drilled from oppoi
site sides to meet in the center, both

the crook to take q tripod screw, on

is run through the angular hole, tho
ends of the cord are stepped on, and
pulled taut by pulling back on the cane;
which has the end planted on the

helpfulness of local agriculture fairs
OF which up to date several have
been held this fall in the different
sections of the state," Mr.. Devine
said. "These little local fairs have
marked tendency to produce op-
timism as against the dependency
of many of our farmers and bust
nesspen throughout the state. Most
of the people are unaware of the
great progress diversified farming
is making in the state and in that
statement included both farmers
and businessmen"
Mr.. Devine forsees' CONSTANT
and steady advance in land values in
North Dakota.
"The great corn crop Of this year,
both in quality and quantity, the ra-
pid development Of milk cows and
their finished product, cream; the
equally rapid advancement in alfalfa,
sweet clover, poultry and hogs will
continue until the lands in North
Dakota will measure up in ability to
successfully produce all the products
that have made Illinois, Iowa, Wis
consin and Minnesota lands worth
from $3.50 to 5000 per acre. The i'm
creased production of hogs, sheep
and beef stock IF more finished
type will logically mirror the produc-
tion of corn. We can produce all
these things with as little overhead
expense and successfully compete in
the open markets with like products
from the middle west states. The
businessmen in each and every local
ity should recognize this fact and

the possibility of the New North
Dakota and not give up their home

North Dakota is about to swing into
the bigger, better and brighter ex-
periences."
Mr.. Devine declared he knows of
no better way to accomplish this
than by conducting local fairs in
various communities having pro-
ducts brought in, judged, assembled
and put in order.
1.-THE psychology of such fair to
all who see it'results in the express

Protest Dismissal of A. p.

PLANTATION
CALL 1T POLITICS

Richmond, Va, Oct. l9.-Thc Amer
lean society of civil engineers today
in convention unanimously endorsed
action of the board of direction of
the society recommending the send
ing Of scathing letter of protest
to Secretary of Interior Work for his
action in removing A. p. Davis as
director of the reclamation service,
and his statement that engineers are
not qualified to direct government
irrigation.
The letter, which was sent today
to DR.. Work follows:
"Hon. Hubert Work, Secretary of
the Interior, Washington, ID. G.
"Sir: Your courteous reply of
August Ia, to our inquiry of June q
has been very carefully considered
and the whole matter of your dis
missal of Director A. p. Davis, of
the Reclamation Service has been in
vestigated by this board, aided by q
special committee of two fair-mind
ed engineers widely experienced in
public service and business affairs,
one Of whom is an honorary mem
Der and the other past president
of this society. We regret to have
to state that after mature delibera-
ton we feel constrained to protest
against your action with thesutmost
vigor.
Il. Because the dismissal, being
so sudden and but little over three
months after you became secretary,
was arbitrary, and was unjust to a
highly efficient and experienced pub
lie official, most emirEnt civil en-
gineer Of long recognized national and
international standing in his profess
sion whose high qualifications you
yourself have certified by offering
to- make him consulting engineer of
the reclamation service.
~ Because the action necessarily
must undermine the morale and low
atty of the whole reclamation serv-
Ice, tending to substitute political
standing for merit and leading to
the danger that the public funds NAV
be wasted through inefficiency. SINH
lar action applied to other technical
bureaus would demoralize the entire
technical and scientific service of the
government.
"3. Because action was taken by
the device of nominally abolishing
the position and Immediately Great
ing its equivalent under another
name subterfuge which, as we are
informed it has been attempted to
legalize by an ex-post facto execu-
tive order. Furthermore, the charge
repeatedly has been made in the
press and without denial by you that
your offer to retain Mr.. Davis as
consulting engineer of the reclama-
ton service was on condition that
