February ~ 22. — The | Fag arfod for the petroleum industry, with tructive forces endeavoring to check great excess of production, says the fon Trust Co., Cleveland. Since the ning of the year production has nded on a ldrge scale and this has stimulated co-operative efforts to hold tHe situation in hand. “Upon the effectiveness of these ef- ffarts the health of the industry in the | immediate future largely depends,” says {he bank. “The great oil fields of Okla- +homa and Kansas recently were pro- ducing about 75,000 barrels of oil daily Labove refinery requirements.

Statisticians of the dustry estimate that more money 1s jsunk in the ground for oil than comes.out. In former days the mere finding of oil in the ground meant cer- -tain profits. But this is no longer true, % heavy production costs, low prices and excessive outputs. “From the standpoint of consumption, reguirements for oil are the greatest in and growing rapidly.

Market Also Report La/r‘ge Stocks of Poultry. ‘There was very little trading in the wholesale market district this morning. Practically every business house was open during the early morning hours, but patrons were not numerous, and ar- rangements were made to close early in the afternoon. Cold weather, the snow making driv- ing difficult and the day being a legal holiday, formed a combination that was not conducive to heavy trading. Much of the holiday buying was done yesterday afternoon, retailers realizing the frozen covering on the streets this malzmng would make driving more diffi- cult. Shipments Heavy. Dealers reported plentiful supplies of foodstuffs ‘of every variety. Poultry dealers continued to have supplies of fancy poultry of all kinds, including many turkeys, and a fairly good demand for the king fowl probably resulted from cheap prices, Fruits and vegetables continued as plentiful this mording as usual, fruits from the South, West and other coun- tries being especially attractive. Meats, not so much in demand be- | cause of .the Lenten scason, were plen- tiful, while eggs, much in demand, were scarce and higher. Center Market closed at 11 o'clock, much to the satis- faction of retailers, who realized there probably would be nothing doing in the afternoon should the market remain open. ‘Wholesalers today were deeply inter- ested in the prospects of haulers from Maryland and Virginia being able to get over the roads with supplies for tomor- row’s market, It was reported that work on the State roads both in Marzland and Virginia proved of great assisiance to haulers. . Several haulers, coming short dis- tances, reached here this morning with supplies of poultry, meats, eggs and other commodities. It is belleved, how- ever, that some of ‘the country roads, especially those in the mountain sec- tions, will remain impassable, which, it is stated, may mean increased receipts early next week. Prices of most commodities this morn- ing were substantially the same as prices quoted yesterday.

By the Assoclated Press. TUTTLETOWN, Calif., December 14. —Temporarily at least, lean days are upon this part of the old Mother Lode country that the miners of '49 worked over, washed out and abandoned; that Mark Twain and Bret Harte re-created and made additionally famous with their humor and then forsook for more effete fields. For miles along the gulches and streams one finds the crumbling re- mains of the cabins and works of the high old days when gold could be sluiced from the surface, and old stamp mills, sun bleached and decrepit, stand out in rusty idleness above unsightly ore dumps in witness of the fact that the era of quartz mining which suc- ceeded the feverish placer stampede has likewise met its reverse. Yet one looks in vain for the faded personalities with which fiction peoples the ghost towns of mining when the red-shirted men and their dance-hall hllllrlfles have rushed on to fresher fields. Crude Drawings Remain in Place. And in most of the early gold rush country memories of the days that were | predominate here, but not all of the laughter has been squeezed out of life, for, except in a material sense, Mark Twain and Bret Harte still live in their clapboard cabins on the summit of Jack Ass Hill and Twain’s Jumping Frog of Calaveras is to be seen, in poster or crude drawing, in the windows of uaint old store buildings, the fronts of livery stables now converted into ga- rages, on road signs and on the front of the old tavern at the City of Angels. Here, supposedly, Mark Twain heard from the bartender the story of how surreptitious feeding of shot to the famed imperted frog caused his defeat at the legs of a common, ordinary “local” greenback in a long distance leaping contest variously backed by the gamblers of the camp. In the history of the region, fact and Twain-Harte fiction have perhnra be- come inextricably mixed. Local resi- dents are starting to mark the points of traditional interest, and in this work P '\ ( the Forty-niner and the two humorists are paid equal homage. . The first of a series of 14 or 15 markers has just been erected at Woods Crossing, directly upon the “famous Mother Lode, the greatest gold-bearing vein In the world.” The winding road leading to the points of historical in- terest has been named “Mark Twain- Bret Harte Trail” and the monument plaque pays equal tribute to the early day miners and the writers. ‘The trail starts just below famous “Jim Town,” now Jamestown, and goes to most of the old camps, passing through Sonora, still fairly prosperous, and Columbia, which has shrunk from a one-time city of about 40,000 to a few score. It passes the door of one of the first Wells-Fargo stations on the Pacific Coast in this village that once came within a single vote in the Legis- lature of being made the capital of California, past the venerable site of St. Ann’s Church erected in about 1851 with adobe bricks molded on the ground. A precipitous detour leads to Twain's cabin, restored in 1922 and now visited by thousands yearly. There were 900 automobiles parked about it when it was dedicated upon restoration, PERU DENIES DISPUTE WITH CHILE IS SOLVED President Leguia Unable to Say if Plan Sponsored by Ambassador Moore Is Acceptable. By the Assoclated Press. $IMA, Peru, February 22.—President Leguia of Peru, in an interview with the Associated I'ress, expressed surprise at dispatches from Santiago, Chile, re- porting final settlcment of the Tacna- Arica boundary dispute between Peru and Chile and denied that this long- pending problem already was solved. ‘The President said that he was unable to say if a plan sponsored by ‘Alexander P. Moore, American Ambassador to Peru, was acceptable or practical for Peru. This plan of the American. Am- bassador by which in rough outline Tacna would go to Peru and Arica to Chile was along the lines which the Chilean dispatches have insisted repre- sented the final settlement of the con- troversy. “Respecting the time when the prob- lem is solved if the plan is acceptable, I will say it will be necessary to wait some weeks,” the President said. “Be- The only drugstore giving United Certificates with each purchase fore announcing any decision on the necessary to consult Congress and the foreign affairs committée as well as fill somé other formalities.” NORFOLK . . part of the Peruvian government it is Drug Dept.
