OIL CONSERVATION
STIRS DELEGATES
Pinchot Plans Both Attacked and
Warmly Defended at the
Mining Congress
BALLINGER WRITES LETTER
Resolution Is Passed Favoring
Government Chemical
Laboratory
(Continued from Fage Six)
lowed to go ahead under the system
that has existed in California for
thirty years."
RKFEKS TO PXAOEB LAW
' Mr. O'Donnell referred in this re
spect to the placer mining law, under
•which old locations have been made
In the absence of a better law. And
Mr. O'Donnell, who did not say so at
yesterday's meeting, believes, as he
said at a meeting last spring, that if
necessary there should be certain re
visions in the placer law permitting
locator or prospector or driller to con
tinue unmolested until he either has
discovered oil thereon or fonud a dry
hole.
Mr. O'Donnell said that the oil in
dustry in the state is misunderstood
by the mass of the people; that every
one operating in the oil fields is not
a John D. Rockefeller; that there is
not an industry in the country that has
a larger percentage of the people in
terested financially than the oil Indus
try.
Mr. O'Donnell urged the American
Mining congress to take some action
through its resolutions committee In
behalf of the oil men of this state. Re
ferring tj the withdrawal by the gov
ernment last fall of a large area in
the San Joaquin valley, Mr. Doheny's
chief said:
"There is n. I an oil man in Califor
nia but believes the withdrawal bill
■was an outrage. Plnchot himself was
not satisfied with it and the metal
miner should have been excluded from
this withdrawal. The same policy af
fects both the oil and mining man. "We
are both in the same hole and should
etanu together.
DISCUSSES I/EASING
, "No Interests should be intrusted to
say to any one individual," said Mr.
O'Donnell, with direct reference to the
secretary of the interior and his at
titude toward the withdrawal policy.
"The supervision of oil In Califor
nia from Washington is absurd," he
Bald. "Anything that tends toward
the leasing of lands by the govern
ment is absolutely impractical, for
sooner or later the lands would be
thrown into a monopoly. I venture I
would get a big part of the lands if
this policy of conservation was put
into praclce, for it means that lands
would be put upon the auction block.
In my opinion stagnation in develop
ment would be the result."
Mr. O'Donnell urged that the con
gress pass a resolution indorsing con
servation or the recent rulings of the
land department.
Former Congressman C. A. Barlow
of Bakersfleld expressed sentiments
opposed to a leasing system and said
that all locations should be recorded
in the general land office, but that the
allotment of ■ acreage should be lim
ited, thus preventing- the acquisition
of large tracts by private persons.
Congressman S. C. Smith of Bakers
field, who is the father of the Smith
bill, looking toward a regulation of
the oil problem through a system of
development favorable to the first lo
cator, is against conservation as gen
erally understood,
TALKS ON 8. P. GRANTS
Mr. Smith, in his utterances, left the
idea that it is not necessary for the
government to take back the lands
comprised in the grants of the South
ern Pacific. For some reason he did
not make plain, he said that such an
act upon the patr of the government
would be imposing an additional tax
upon the people.
S. C. Graham, a member of the Si
erra Madre club and one of the most
prominent independent oil operators
In the state, advanced .the straight
policy of conservation of Mr. Pinchot
and made a defense of this policy,
outlining it in a manner similar to
Mr. Pinchot in his speech Monday
night.
Charles P. Fox of Bakersfleld, pres
ident of the Oil Men's association, was
called and In an offhand way ex
pressed the sentiments of the oil men
of that association, to wit, that they
be left alone to work out their own
problems. Mr. Fox said that the oil
and mining Interests, as understood,
are not allied and that the several in
terests of the metal miner could be of
no benefit to the oil man in the matter

FIRE CONSUMES $30,000
IN PROPERTY AT NACO
Use Dynamite to Save Border
Town; Water Scarce and
Lacking Pressure
BISBEE, Ariz., Sept. 27.—Fire did
damage of $80,000 at Naco, a little
town nine miles from here, last night.
The flames raged two hours, threaten
ing the town. The store of Sarkis,
owned by Jose Dominguez, was dis
covered in flames at 10:30. For two
hours the entire male population of
Naco, Ariz., and Naco, Sonora, fought
the fire. It was found necessary to
dynamite several small buildings in or
der to save the rest of the town. The
water supply was found entirely in
adequate and with no pressure.
Bucket brigades worked from neigh
boring buildings. The saloon of John
Newell also was destroyed. Domin
guez' store was fuly insured. Telephone
poles in the vicinity were burned and
communication destroyed. The Ameri
can customs house and other near-by
buildings caught flre several times, but
were extinguished each time. Fire was
discovered in the same building less
than a week ago, and this fact may
lead to an investigation before the in
surance Is paid.

Removal of Censorship Reveals
Prevalence of Epidemic
ROME, Sept. 27.—With the removal
