L Railroad Into the Sunset District Is Ready to Operate. There is talk in Southern California about a large increase in the capacity of the ofl refineries in Los Angeles, which will tend to consume the crude oil and to make a market. At Bakersfield the Dupage Oil and Refining Company has been incorporated, with Bakersfield as the princiral place of business. At Los Angeles - the Franklin Oil and Refining Company has been incorporated. It 1s announced that the purpose of this com- pany is to acquire the Franklin refinery in Los Angeles and to operate it. Ac- cording to the accounts that come from the south the American Refinery in Los Angeles will soon reopen its doors. The Pacific Refining Company, which has started to build a refinery on the main line of the Santa Fe, just outside of the city limits of Bakersfield, will have a daily capacity of 900 barrels when it is completed. Most significant of all the refihing schemes is, of course, that of the Standard Oil Company, which will operate on a large scale on the shores of the bay of San Francisco. While the refineries are thus in line to help ihe oil producers to a market, the other causes that lead to a demand for the fuel oil of California are active. The fuel has been introduced in the mines of the mother lode in Amador County, to some extent, and the use of it will un- doubtedly increase in the next year. It has largely supplanted the coal mined in Amador County. The principal competi- tion is now with wood. Five companies are arranging to carry out the contracts for the supply of oil for the reclamation districts on the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. Tanks for 2500 barrels are in_construc- tion at Antioch, which will be filled from the oil cars, and a barge with a capac- ity of 2500 barrels will carry the oil to where it is required for use. The sup- position is that the reclamation districts alone will use from 30,000 to 40,000 barrels of ofl a year at the beginning. Combine Makes Progress. While there are no new developments to report in connection with the work of the Associated Oil Company, othsrwise known as the combine of producing com- panies in the Kern and McKittrick fields, the promoters appear to be satisfied with the progress they are making. It is no- ticable that certain papers that were ope gosed to the combination when it was rst reported in The Call to be a success are now saying that it is a good thing. Since the company took shape the price of oil has advanced. It is reported that the new contract made by the Santa Fe Rallroad Company for oil ‘is at considerably higher prices than were named in the old‘ one. This would seem to indicate the belief of the railroad people that the price will go still higher, which is the general opinion of all observers of the trend of the oil in- dustry and of the interests more or less bound up with it. A scheme for an ambitious combination is reported to be in incubation in the East. This has been given the name of the Western Oil Men’s Association. Thé | headquarters. are at Toledo, Ohio. The arncunced purpose of this organization is to bring into co-operation the produc- ers in the petroleum fields of the United States, Canada and Mexico. The States mcntioned as likely to be included in the organization are Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Calltornlaié‘-'e]xau, Colorado, Wy- oming, Kentucky, sas and Loulsiana. Only a vague idea of what the project actually amounts to or what it signifies has as yet been given currency. Three companies of Glasgow capitalists are reported to have been recently en- gaged in getting leases in Barren County, Kertucky, of what are sugposed by them to be oil lands. Leases have been pur- chased to about 30,000 acres. There are wells in the county that have been operat- ed for some years, but they are small pro- ducers. Owners Wait Developments. There is less development work going on in California than there was somesmo:ths ago. Owners of oil properties who are not compelled by the terms of contracts to push work are waiting for the combine to get into working shape. The date of the actual beginning of the operations of the Associated Oil Company may not be many months hence. The stockholders of tne several companies will have all the bearings of gthe combination thoroughly explained to them by their directors when they come together to finally determine what they will do. A meeting of the stockholders of the Reed Crude Oil Com- pany has been called and will be held e s o "the s e 8 o e Sunset Railroad_h: been lald for the entire distance. m;:fi trains will run over the line until the traf- fic warrants the separate running of pas- senger ar;d‘frellghtslruln?dExlemslve de- velopment in the Sunset dis expected to take place: ey eneral actlvity is reported in the Fill- more and Santa Paula oil field; - ua‘:; Cguntyv AN Y e Government has published concerning petroleum, in which u‘z‘e’éfii’fifi in production in different States for the year 1900, as compared with the preceding year, are given as foll, H 1357350 barels: West Virginia b iaraid: Ohlo, 1,220,622; Indiana, 1,06,210; Texas, 167,026, s\ Seven Pines Campfire.

FETHERS of Janesville, Wis., supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, is thinking of flee- ing from the severe weather of the Northwest next win- ter and spending a few weeks in Southern California during Jan- uary and February. The lodges in that section will give him a chivalric welcome. Springville Lodge No. 150, at Fortuna, will give a ball on Friday evening next. Fern Leaf Lodge of Forest Hill has removed from Masonic Hall to Odd Fel- lows’ Hall, where it has more commo- dious quarters. Colonel Rapson of the State of Wash- ington, an old-time retainer of, the Cali- fornia domain, Is back on his native heath. He says the Knights of Wash- ington and Oregon, almost to a man, to- gether with thelr families, will attend the coming biennial convention of the order at San Francisco. Each of those States will send down at least one regiment of the Uniform Rank. The. Fresno lodges will give a ball on November 6, and it promises to be a bril- liant social event. The team of San Francisco Temple, D. 0. K. K., ‘will probably take another pilgrimage shortly to the oasis of Sacra- mento. There is a good-sized class of neophytes at the capital city awaiting the opportpnity to taste the sweets of Khorassan. The present administration is urging upon its membership the advantages to be derived from holding district conven- tions and soclal functions at frequent intervals, dlupenslnf with the use of rituals in the opening and closing cere- monles as well as in conferring the ranks, and furnishing the newspapers Wwith accounts of the doings of the order. “The newspapers of the country are the most helpful allies of every good move- ment,” says the grand chancellor, who is himself a newspaper man, ‘‘and we make a serious mistake when we forget this fact. Pythianism was devised as_a blessing to the people, and the peopls have a right to know if it is actively en- gaged in the discharge of its noble du- tles. The public can be reached effec- tively powadays only with the aid of the press, %hlch is the world's greatest cdu- cator and informant. Last Thursday night the grand chancel- lor pald an official visit to Olympic Lodge of Grass Valley. About fifty members of his own lodge, Milo of Nevada City, ac- companied the chief executive. The trip was made over the new electric railroad that connects the two mountain cities and a brass band enlivened the excursion. The Grass Valley Knights turned out in full | force to greet the visitors and gave them a most cordlal reception. A fine banquet was one of the features of the evening. The Knights' Era, with I. M. Townsend as editor, and D. N Harland as business manager, is_the new official organ of Lodge Ne. 15% at Selma, Fresno County. It is a curio in journalism. It is a four- page, two-column follo, well edited and neatly printed. It is to be issued “‘when the spirit moves,” the subscription price being $250 a year, with single copies at $10. The lodge news is written up in readable style, and there are some breezy joshes on the, individual members. Selma is one of the wide awake, progressive lodges of the many of that character. General McGlashan is building a large new house at Truckee, and hereafter will be prepared to entertain all his Pythian friends who chance that way. Selby Lodge at Crockett is doing some good work in spreading the order through Contra Costa County.

Everything went awry in the examin- ation into the Nome contempt cases yes- terday morning before Commissioner Heacock. Attorneys waited for witnesses that never came, and clashed at every opportunity offered. Amicus Pillsbury and Francis J. Heney livened up proceed- ings in a tilt and Judge Maguire helped to fan the fiery tempers to the blazing point. Thomas J. Geary was again put on the stand at the opening of the morning ses- sion. After Heney had asked a few ques- tions in cross-examination the witness was delivered into Pilisbury’s hands. The amicus curiae went over the whole of Geary's statement made in court during the previous day. He tried to show that Géary had certain meetings with Me- Kenzie on the day of his arrest, and tried to fasten upon him a serles of malfeas- ances in the matter of advice relative to the disposition of the gold dust. When Geary retired from the stand Pillsbury called for Deputy Marshal Burnham, who Pillsbury thinks will tes- tify that Noyes and McKenzie and Geary had a conference after the arrest of the latter. Burnham could not be located, and in order to refute possible testimory to this point Judge Maguire wanted to put on Judge Noyes, so he could be re- leved from the responsibility of further attendance. Pillsbury objected, so Noyes did not go on the stand. Attorneys Heney and Pillsbury broke loose in wordy war yesterday. Heney asked until Tuesday for a presentation to the Court of Appeals of his motion for striking out big blocks of the evidence taken. Pillsbury refused, saying he was held accountable to the court for the prosecution of the case. Then Heney sail something mean about the considerate- ness of attorneys and provoked a repiy from Pillsbury “that it was merely a difference and he couldn’t help it.” Hs was willing to stand upon his reputation for grace and courtesy. Heney said: “I am here neither for grace nor favor, M Pillsbury, and I think you should at least show ordinary courtesy$to a brother at- torney. But your mind is constructed on different lines. You can't help it.” The amicus curiae was too busy to say much, so_he let the matter drop. The examination will be continued at 9 o’clock Monday morning, and at 11 a. m Judge McLaughlin, who was not weil enouga yesterdey morning to attend the examination, was argued ex parte for the selection of evidence by the court, ia order that he may be required onlv to meet that portion which connects Judge Noyes with the contempt charges.
