I sent thirty-one cents stamps to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.

I received such a nice, carefully considered and con- fidential letter, in reply, giving me advice sbout my dict, exercise and all. This advice is free to everyone and I wonder you don’t write him at once. It didn’t take me many months to regain my good looks.

The problem of to-day was the at- Som ssive of to do tack and defense of a convoy. The supposition was that a train consist- ing of about 100 wagons, which had been loaded at Asuncion station with supplies for a 1 body operating upon the coas’ north of Port Harford, is moving to t coast via Eagle ranch gate, escorted by a Blue force composed of the three arms. In or- der to reach its de ion the train is compelled to pa irough a raid- ng brown force, which is to make an t to cut off, capture or destroy the train. All this took place over a rough, mountainous. countr inter- spersed with broad valleys deep ravines. The train, with voy of cavalry, artillery under command of Color . C. Markley, began its march 1¥. When it got was fully a mile long it slowly d its way up through es and quiet defiles wild mountair until it came ne the enemy’s coun- ain was left in a se- together v it convoy From this point the field and of Captain Ira y. Here the t questered s ines, made a brilliant dash forward to gain a commanding point near Shale Rock, hich high position of vantage he succeeded in gaining. The mountain side was steep, but the battery gained the top'and swung heavy guns about on a stéep ridge, where they could command the country for iniles around. This was generally considered to be the feature of the exercises. It was executed with great dash and vim. While all this was going on Colonel Ward, in com- mand of the browns, was preparing to attack the blues. He exposed his troops to the enemy and brought out the first fire. Colonel Pitcher, with his provisional infantry of the blues, made a dashing deployment and at a critical stage of the game he caught two battalions of the browns in the left flank, but his support did not come in time to follow up the.advantage, so he lost them. ' In the meantime Colonel Markley was slowly advancing with the train, He | came too slowly, in fact, for at \this Jjuncture the umpires sounded the re- call, which left the position of affairs in status quo so far as the casual ob- server was able to note. The battle will be fought out and decided by the um- y tent to-night. During the maneuvers to-day prgm- | inent ranchers in the vicinity sent for | the use of the troops a four-horse load of watermelons and substantial refresh- ments for the officers.

BUY Special Dispatch to The Cail. i BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 17.—Begin- | ning next Monday, the Standard Ofl | Company will refuse to accept a single | drop of Kern River oil, not already | contracted for, at any price. Follow- {ing on the announcement of the sen- sational cut of more than 20 per cent | in price, announced last Monday, the | news has created a sensation on all ! sides. The order was received by Su- | perintendent Page to-night, and was by him announced to the operators, without explanation. Following the cut in price Saturday the Associated sent word to all oper- ators that it would take all oil offered at the old price of 15 cents, the _Stan- dard’'s mew price being 11 3 cents. Hitherto the Associated has paid the same price as the Standard, never | | varying from it, and there is much speculation as to the meaning of the | action now ken. That the combine has any intention of bucking Rockefel- ler is not believed, and it is thought that there must be an understanding of scme kind At Coalinga the Standard, months ago, withdrew from the mar- ket, so far as the heavy fuel oil was concerned sociated has since handled all oil b ¢ 21 gravity, leavirg the higher grade illuminating to the Standard. 'he Standard has at present four- teen reservoirs completed at Kern River, with a capacity of over ten mil- lion bariels, and all are filled to the limit, with oil contracted for to fill all . built for months, while the ipe line is not pumping south of inga. The ociated, on the other hand, has storage for over a mil- lion and a half barrels, with only about one-third tilled, and contracts with the railroads that will afford a market for | all that it can produce or purchase. It is also learned that the Standard has cut the price of oil at Santa Maria from 75 to 40 cents. —_— e ———— | ENGINEERS ARE MA i STUDY OF some | People of the North Welcome the | Commissioners Who Are In- | nectins Rivers. | 1 SACRAMENTO, Aug. 17.—Governor | Pardee, who returned from Portland last night, said to-day that he had hoped to join the ern engineers and party on their inspection of the river to-day at Colusa, but found he sure of other | party until to-morrow at Marysville.
