By J. C. ROYLE NEW YORK, Jan. 26.— Dil men professed to see heir industry commencing o emerge slowly from eclipse today. This feeling has been fostered by the hightening of the shadows which pos- sibilities of heavy production trom the Callfornia and Wortham fields have cast upon the sifuation, the increased demand for gasoline and fehe prospective reduction in stor: ake stocks. The improved trend has been re- flected in advances in the prices of crude of] and gasuline in various sections of the country which took place despite the fact that country- wide production for the week of January 17 ran well over 2,000,000 barrels. Experts in the Texas fields de- clare the, falling off in the produc- tion of the Wortham field has been due partly to bad weather and a la- bor shortage which has interfered with the drilling. But they admit that the capabilities and extent of the fleld have now been pretty well defined and the peak ‘of pro- duction there seems to have been reached or passed. It is. possible that within a’ short time production in the field may drop to 100,000 bar- rels a day or less. At any rate, there is nothing in the ‘Wortham situation at present which would support fears of an output likely to disrupt the market. ‘This 1s also true of the California lds Which flooded the country with oll for months and which were onsible to a large extent for the depresed condition of the industry, Nevertheless, California of! com panies now have approximately uirie million more barrels of ofl and 126 million more gallons of gasoline on hand than was in storage at this ime last year. There has been an icreased consumption of naptha listillates, however, ‘and only 13,- 114,490 barrels of these products are held. ‘The total storage of rude in California {s 98 million bar- rels and of gasoline 460,214,375 gal- ns.

Instead of dying {n the arena in mortal com- bat, their end will be served in var- fous city hospitals. The game chickens were seized in a raid by police in Morris Sullivan's roadhouse, the dining room of which had been converted into an arena. The officers arrested 171 spectators and it was estimated that at least fifty others escaped by jumping through windows. The chickens were taken over by the humane so- ciety, L. W. Ahn, secretary of the society, said they were worth about $15,000. The arrested men face hearings on gambling charges. A total of 1,635 points to 139 for its oponents in five years of un- beaten play, is the remarkable foot- ball record rolled up by the Univer. sity of California.

The loss is the largest result- ing from fire in the last year in this county and was not covered by insurance. The fire occurred while Mr. and Mrs. Mosteller were in Casper, the children and an employe being left at the ranch. It is believed to have caught from the kitchen stove and when discovered’ by the children had gained such headway that it was impossible for them to cope with it. One of the girls ran to the Blackmore ranch a quarter of a mile distant to spread the alarm and although neighbors of that region responded {mmediately the destruction was almost complete by the time of their arrival. Noth- ing was saved from the buildings. The only salvage will be a a large water wheél in the greenhouse plant and the steel framework for a new greenhouse for which materials had recently been purchased. A considerable part of the finishing lumber for this house had been taken into the plant for milling purposes and other rough lumber was lying near enough to be caught by the flames, which ate their way through the long glassed-in structures to every corner of the plant. Casper has derived a large share of its spring vegetable and flower plants in the yast from the Mostel- ler greenhouses and the fire will cut off the supvly for the coming spring, Businest of Mr. Mostoller in this line has beea constantly «x tg and the ev impro.ements wer part of his plan fer meeting a larger demand.
