iHAKEYitW GEYSER
CONI ROLLED BY TIDE ?
A Question that Puzzlos
Many Scientists.
San Francisco, Ca., July 18.—Is the
flow of t lie great Dakeview geyser of
Central Salifornia controlled by the
tides of the Pacific? That is a ques
tion that is puzzling engineers and
scientists since it was noticed reeent
,■ that the volume of oil discharged by
tins world famous spouter at differ
ent times of the day.
engineers believe they have found
a solution of the phenomenon in the
fact that the fluctuations in the flow
of the great gusher are co-incident
with the ebb and flow of the tides in
the Pacific ocean—'that the inky fluid
sjKjiits in greater volume at high' tide
and diminishes considerably at low
tide.
If this theory is correct, it strength
ens the contention of many scientists
that till* vast deposits of peroleum un
derlying California were once grea:
inland seas, and that there still is
connection between the Pacific ocean
and these subterranean seas of com
bustible fluid.
Tl.ie Dakeview gusher is 1,600 feet
below the level of the Santa Barbara
channel and 60 miles distant. Despite
this distance, engineers have discov
ered that the flow of the gusher is di
rectly affected by the tides. The tor
rent of oil increases with hiigh tide
and decreases with low tide, but just
what the ratio of increase and de
crease is has not been determined, al
though the difference is manifest.
According to geologists, the w’ash of
the sea has had much to do with the
deposit of petroleum in the so-called
oil sands, it being found in zones as if
cast up by the tides. As proof of this
contention, shell fish, star fish, mam
moth oyster shells and sharks’ teeth
Lfi ve been found in the oil sands of
many fields in this state.
The Dakeview gusher was tapped
on .March I.lth 'last, since which time
it has flowed from 40,000 to 60,000 bar
rels daily. The well came in at a!
depth of 2,000 feet, but has long since
developed into an immense oil crater,!
the extent of which no man can defi
nitely tell.
What will happen if the Dakeview
continues to emit its tremendous tor
rent of liquid fuel until the supply is
exhausted is a question that has caus
ed alarm, among tomid folk living in
the region of the spouter who fear that
tip waters of the Pacific ocean may
break forth and flood the whole San
Joaquin valley oil fields.

UNIFORM LAW FOR
SALE OF FOODSTUFFS
Food and Brug Experts to Frame New
Law.
Atlanta, Ga., July IS.—State Chem
ist R. E. Stallings and Commissioner
of Agriculture T. C. Hudson, repre
senting ti.*e feed and dairy departmen
of Georgia, have accepted invitations
to attend the annual convention of the
Association of State and National
Food and Dairy Department Officials
which will meet in New Orleans dur
ing the week of November 28. At this
time, too, the association of Food Con
trol Officials will gather in the Cres
cent City and at the time endorse a
measure, which it will be endeavored
to have every state in the union adopt,
giving a uniform law governing the
sale of feed stuffs.
Dr. Stallings ami Commissioner
Hudson are well posted on the sub
jec cf feed stuffs through the en
forcemeut of the Georgia pure food
law, which' has done so much to regu-n
late and control the sale of feed stuffs
in this state.
These officials have been asked to
assist in drafting the measure which
is to be endorsed at this meeting.
Prior to the enactment of the pure
food law in this state tl.ie state chem
ist’s reports sh'ow that Georgia was
the dumping ground for misbranded
and adulterated reed stutts. Since the
enactment, though, Georgia has been
ridded largely of these impositions,
and cotton seed meal, a Georgia pro
duct, has come fully into its own. Now
more than ever cotton seed meal is
looked upon as the leading dairymen
and cattle raisers, but is being gener
ally fed by work stock owners, sup
planting c rn and oats in th'e daily
feed. When the uniform Law is adopt
ed the country over it is expected this
feed will become even more generally
used. _

BE ’I*'LB PEACH CHOP
GROWN IN GEORGIA
Good Prices Result From Wise Dis
tribution of Cars.
Atlanta, Ga., July 18.—“ Georgia is
now marketing a bumper peach crop,
hut despite this fact the growers who
are marketing through the exchange
are receiving top prices for their shio
ments,” was the statement made by
Manager Fleming, of the Georgia Fruit
Exchange, in discussing market con
ditions. To date the number of cars
handled from Georgia is ahead of the
P.*oß high record by 600 cars, but the
coal spell damaged th e North* •Georgia
late crop so that the lull complement
will tall behind the 1908 total. B.it
even with this it is expected the mar
ket will show 1,000 cars shipped out
of Georgia.
1 he 'daily bulletin issued by the ex
change giving the day’s sales and the
prices paid lor fruit shows the level
to be unusually high, despite the
bumper crop, as a result there is
nothing but satisfaction and praise
for the exchange on all sides.
The shipping is just at its height
now, and Manager Fleming and his
force is working all day and half the
night to keep the crop moving and to
prevent congestion, by having the
shipments properly distributed. It is
only by systematic distribution, such
as th'e exchange is making, that the
record prices are being secured.
Manager Fleming has in his files a
copy of a telegram which the rail
roads in Georgia had him send to
the Armour Car Dines, in 1908, when
Mr. Fleming was working for that
company and’before the exchange was
organized, urging the Armous Car
Dine Company to agree to handle and
distribute the crop flor the peach
grofvers in 190 S. This request was
made after the growers had appealed
to the railroads add.tting that the
bumper crop of 1908 was swamping
them and that independent shipments
into the markets 90 per cent, of the
crop going to the three markets, New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, with
consequental prices that did not pay
freight charges. The Armour Car
Dine Company declined to take the
; distribution, and the exchange was
j organized to do this work. It is a
j pleasant commentary to note that this
year .with a similar crop, the heaviest
shipments of the season have found
thie exchange sending only 19 per
cent, of the shipments to the big
markets. As a result of this distribu
tion. high prices for peaches have
been secured there an din other mar
kets.

NEW COTTON PICKER
HAS BEEN INVENTED
Washington, July IS.—Patents were
issued today to Crawford Elliott, the
inventor of the book typewriter, on a
cotton picker or harvester which he
has perfected as the result of nearly
seven years constant effort. Thie basic
patent granted covers forty different
claims. The machine has been tested
for two years in the cotton fields, and
with it one man and a team of mules
will do the work of forty hand pickers.
Only the ripe cotton is picked, and this
is done without injury to the green
cotton or the flowers. Tbe successful
cotton picker has at last arrived and
will enable the planters to greatly in
crease the present acreage under cul
tivation.
The principle of the machine is a
double row of bristle brushes about
one and one-half inches diameter and
fourteen inches long, spinning rapidly
in such a manner that the revolving
brushes are introduced into the plants
close to the ground and drawn up in a
vertical line through the plants, the
brushes penetrating the bushes from
both sides of thie row. The ripe cotton
to the brushes while the rest
of the plant is riot in any way effected,
the brushes traveling to a receptacle
where they are stripped of the cotton
and thie operation is repeated.
It has been thoroughly tested and
demonstrated that it will do tbe worn
at a quarter of the cost of hand labor,
which means a saving of $110,000,000
a year to the cotton growers.
The invention whichi has been purch
ased by the National Cotton Harvester
Company of Chicago, 111., means much
t,o the growth and expansion of the
cotton industry, and it will undoubt
edly add immensely to the annual
wealth of all the cotton-growing
states. t

EO FIGHT THE DIVORCE
EVIL IN THE STATE
Minister Says it is Ruining
Our Homes.
Atlanta, Ga., July 16.—Greatly
turbedi over the remarkable increase
in the number of undefended divorce
cases brought before him, Judge W.
D. Ellis today announced that he will
go before the judiciary committee of
the legislature and make a personal
appeal for a drastic law which will
check the divorce tendency.
Speaking in his court, he said of
divorce:
“it is destroying the home, and when
you destroy the home you destroy the
city, the county, the state and thie na
tion. Something should be done about
it. No divorce should be granted on
the uncorroborated statement of one
party. It has got so now a little quar
rel between husband and wife results
in a row, the row a divorce, and the
divorce results in one or another of
the parties marrying again and get
ting a new victim.
“The evil is growing. Every year
sees it increase. We talk about sup
pression of vice in the slums. I can t
imagine anything worse than the di
vorce evil. We expect vice in the
slums, but when virtuous young peo
ple marry we expect them to make
homes and raise children.”

THE REILY TAYLOR CO.
PACIFIC COAST TO
FURNISH OIL SUPPLY
TV ill be Depended Upon to Furnish the
Nation’s Oil.
Stn Francisco, Cal., July 18. —Cali-
fornia undoubtedly will, within a few
years, be called upon to supply not
only the United States, but practically
the whole North American continent
with illuminating, lubricating and fuel
oils.
A study of the petroleum industry
of the United States show that the
California oil fields are practically in
their infancy, with production increas
ing by leaps and bounds, while the
proven oil bearing area is being aug
mented daily. The oil fields of other
sections of the country have reached
their maximum production and are on
thie decline, leaving California in a
class by itself as a producer of the
inflammable fluid.
The total proven petroleum terrß
tory of California, according to the
United States Geological Survey, is
850 square miles, or a total of slight
ly more than 500,000 acres. Shis area
would accommodate something like
120,000 welis, allowing one well to
each 2 1-2 acres.
Darge as this territory may seem it
is less than helf the area proved to
be productive in Pennsylvania, that
state having nearly 2,000 square miles
of oil lands. But the thickness of the
oil bearing stratum in California far
exceeds that of other fields of the
United Slates, there being, by actual
measurement, over 500 feet of oil sands
in several different sections of the
state, wheeras in many 'localities in
the eastern fields the oil bearing stra
tum is only a. few feet thick. On ac
count of those dense sands California
will be producing oil when eastern
fields are only a memory.
The Pennsylvania oil fields, which
are the oldest in the United States,
rjeachel |t/heir maximum productive
ness many years ago and have steadily
declined, until now they are yielding
about one-t'hlird of the amount pro
duced at the height of their develop
ment. Geologists estimate that only
about two billion barrels remain in the
ground in that state, while in the
proven fields of California, government
geologists estimate the supply in th«
ground at eight and one-hialf billion
barrels, without taking into account
new fields that undoubtedly will be dis
covered in this state.
The Ohio-Indiana fields which rank
next in importance to Pennsylvania,
have an area of 2,040 square miles and
thie supply in the ground is placed at
three billion barrels. In Texas and
Douisiana the fields have an area of
not more than 360 square miles, only
a small proportion of which now arc
to be considered highly productive.
Taking these facts into considera
tion, it will be readily seen that Cal
ifornia will, a comparatively few year’s
hence, he depended upon to supply the
United States with) illuminating, lubri
cating and fuel oils.
