OIL AGENCIES BAR OUTSIDE
PRODUCERS AFTER MAY 15
Independent and Coalinga Organizations Are
Expected to Unite-Storage Facilities
and Pipe Lines Discussed
BAKEBSFIELD, March I.—After a
long argument In open meeting today,
to'which all oil mon were Invited, the
Independent Producers agency of Kern
county and the Coallnga Producers'
agency, In executive session, held to
their former determination to close the
doors of the m lets against outside
producers May 15. The original reso
lution, passed a month ago, was for
closing the doors April 1, but after the
opposing Hide, was heard today it was
deemed bes,t by members of both
agencies to extend the time to May 15.
The so-called closed floor policy, as
explained at the several meetings, is
in fact a wide open one In so far as
now companies are concerned. The
closed door only applies to those pro
ducers win. have held back for years
from entering the agencies.
A number of the old producers, not
members of either agency, expressed
their views at the open meeting, and
one of the arguments advanced was
that, since the entry of the Union Oil
company Into the fold of the Indepen
dent agency, as tho buyer of oil from
them, they preferred to wait and see
whether the new marketing proposi
tion would, work hardship upon the
small producer.
To offset this argument it was ex
plained that Union Oil was only a unit
of the whole and had no more voice
in the affairs of agencies than any Of
the smaller members, an.l that as a
buyer Union Oil was a factor less pow
erful than agencies nnd would never
Interfere with the welfare of the man
agement.
When the matter of closing the doors
was finally put to a vote there were
thirty-four In favor of the measure
and only three against It. Thomas A.
O'Donnell and 11. 11. Welch were the
prominent defenders of the open door
among the membership and when they
twenty lots In five hours one day in
the business district. The town will
lie built along a very narrow gulch,
with one main street and dwellings
hanging onto the steep ' hillsides, and
the Indications are now that it will bo
three or four miles In length If predict
tions of late arrivals here are true
that Jarbldgo will have at least 6000
peopUj by May 1.
I "Both Lane and Recorder Smith de
clared that reports Of new strikes were
reaching the town dally, but they had
no time to obtain any details of these.
"Ed Roberts, who purchased for
cash a, group of seven claims adjoin
ing tire Bourne holdings on the south
east, and he will Incorporate them Im
mediately, but his plans were not for
mulated for the two other groups ho
acquired."
ALBERTA OIL FIELDS
WILL BE DEVELOPED
- Consul General John E. Jones at
Winnipeg reports the formation there
of a $5,000,000 American-Canadian com
pany, to exploit the ore fields of Al
berta. -
The Held Is about 400 miles north
east of Edmonton, and is reported
rich in oil. The Dominion government
lias spent $30,000 Investigating, and
prospectors have been- working for
some time. The new compeny is to
tako over the development work of a
prospector who has already sunk four
teen wells. Oil has been found at a
depth of about 2000 feet, and of the
fourteen wells a government expert re
ports eight as producing oil in com
mercial quantities.
The field Is inaccessible, there being
no railroad facilities nearer than Ed
monton, but the Waterways & Atha
basca railway is building Into the com
pany's property, and lt Is expected that
this road will be completed in about
three years.
In the meantime the company con
templates the erection of refineries and
other necessary buildings, and expects
to be ready to market Its products
as soon as the railway is completed.
If tho field proves as rich as expected
western Canada may be supplied with
petroleum at lower prices. It is expect
ed that maltha and lubricating oils
will be produced and shipped east, and
the company hopes to sell a pavement
material to complete with that Im
ported from Trinidad and Mexico.

lost the vote they abided by the ma
jority by withdrawing and making the
result unanimous.
' At the executive meeting the "ii stor
age problem was discussed, as was the
advisability of consolidating the Coal
luga Producers' agency and the Inde
pendent Producers' agency Into one
organization. While no definite action
was taken today in the matter a reso
lution putting tho matter before the
separate agencies for final discussion
was adopted, All members seemed in
favor of consolidation and only as a
business method it was deemed best
to let each agency pass separately
upon It nt tho next meeting in April.
Final action will be taken after these
meeting's and the new organisation will
likely be called the Independent Pro
ducers' agency of California, ' -.
When the oil storage problem came
before the executive session figures
were advanced to prove that there
was no danger of an overproduction
of oil In California. The storage on
hand is ■ now about 2,000,000 barrels,
000,000 of which are in the Associated
reservoirs nt Coallnga. The agencies
■re taking car" of Hi" remainder and
can work off this surplus at times
when production has to be curtailed.
Another favorable feature is that the
pipe line- are rapidly nearlng com
pletion, thus opening a wider avenue
to the coast.
It was disclosed that the. Standard
was reducing its storage In the field
and the Associated is now drawing on
its reserve' at the rate of eight to ten
thousand barrels a day." Independent
agencies are gradually gaining control
.el the situation and will, soon dictate
the price absolutely, it was declared.
"No more cheap oil" Is now the slogan
and by adding the now producers at
the' time they bring In their firßt wells
the agencies are expected to more
than double their present production
of 40.000 barrels a day.

OIL REFINERS SEEK
TO INCREASE PRICE
[Special to The Herald. '
BAKERSFIELD, March I.—Nine
California oil refiners met here today
at the Invitation of T. H. Llscomb of
the Producers' Refining company for
the purpose of taking the initial step
toward organizing along tho lines of
the Independent oil producing agencies,

HIGH GRAVITY OIL STRIKE
REPORTED FROM OREGON
PORTLAND. Ore., Meh.' I.—Authen
tic information has reached Portland
that a 200-barrel well has been tapped
in the Vale oil fields in Eastern Ore
gon. At a depth of 1470 feet in one of
.the eight wells now being sunk in the
district a strong (low of high-grade
paraffins oil was tapped.
A veritable oil boom is on in the little
Eastern Oregon city. News of the re
cent strike and the practical certainty
that several other wells are expected to
come in any day has sent land values
in the oil district clear out of reach..
Since January 1 oil locations have
been filed on and hundreds of men are
pushing far back into the hills, miles
away from. the - present activity, In
quest of suitable places to locate claims.
Drilling Is going on night and day on
six wells, and four new standard rigs
are on the way to the district for other
companies. "-"> ¥

Married Misery
People often rely on nature unaided to JOt
correct evil but it doesn't. One aim of Ji|%£r-)
corrective medicine should be to do Jf^s\_''--sffl
away with married unhappiness. At _JZyJ_\
the bottom of a deal of misery is found vl||l§?ti
lack of cheerful yielding. Mean self- W_\
ishness is as surely due to ill-health as W w_v_.
famine is to failure. Ungovernable tern- J «jr
pera third faultis largely the outcome
of stomach disorder. All these causes disappear
when stomach and liver are keyed to a finely
balanced tone. The first sign of on-coming Bilious
ness, Indigestion or Headache, should suggest old
Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. No
other known medicine contains so complete a curing-power
for disordered stomach and torpid liver—'Twill avert
many a conflict between man and woman.
Take pains, however, not to insist too
strongly on having your own way except
with the druggist—insist that he give you
Dr. Pierces (It-Men Medical Discovery.
Constipation is always aggravating. A costive person is hardly
fit to associate withwhile free and easy bowel action tends to
make the grouchy grumbler a cheerful optimist, lovable and full
of hope. Dr. Pierces Pleasant Pellets, taken now and then,
move bowels gently once a day. That's enough.

Contempt Cases
Involved
•
A. J, Goldberg-, who was returned to
Los Angeles by his attorney, C. It.
Sparks, anel a deputy constable of Bur.
bank in an automobile Monday night,
was relinquished to C. E. Long, deputy
sheriff of Spokane, Wash., yesterday,
and will appear in Judge Davie" de
partment ... the criminal court at 10
o'clock today on the second writ eel'
habeas corpus issued since his arrest
moro than a week ago.
Goldberg is held in the city jail. Ho
is said to be wanted in Spokane to
answer to a charge of obtaining » car
load of beer by false representations.
Deputy Sheriff laag arrived in Loa
Angeles Friday to take him back.
Since his arrest Ooldberg has kept
the courts busy, nd yesterday his at
torney and the constable who accom
panied him back from Burbank Mon
day night were drawn into the trouble,
appearing before Presiding Judge Wil
bur on charges of contempt.
Goldberg was ordered released py
Judge Davis Monday forenoon, tho
:ourt ruling that he bad been held in,
custody longer than the law allows,
immediately afterwards, Deputy Long
rearrested the accused man, serving
him with a governor's warrant, and ho
was taken to the police station.
Attorney Sparks procured a second
habeas corpus writ from Judge Wilbur,
but when he sought to serve it on Long
it the police station he learned that
the officer and ids prisoner had do
parted in an. automobile.
Found at Burbank
A chase found them at Burbank,
where the writ was served by Con
stable Ogier and Goldberg was brought
back to Los Angeles. Where he stayed
Monday night, Attorney Sparks said
he did not know, and Goldberg was
noncommunlcative.
Early yesterday Judge Wilbur issued
a citation for Attorney Sparks and
Constable Ogier to appear ln depart
ment eight of the superior court and
explain a charge brought against them
by Deputy Long that they had forcibly
taken Goldberg from him. They were
in the court room at 4 o'clock, three
hours after Goldberg had been sur
rendered to the Spokane officer, and
being Informed of the latter fact.
Judge Wilbur continued the matter un
til 11 o'clock today.
Speaking of the matter after he left
the court room, Attorney Sparks de
clared no force was used to take Gold
berg from Deputy Long, but. that the
latter surrendered him willingly when,
the habeas corpus writ was served.
"I did not know he had a governor's.
warrant for Goldberg's arrest." said
the attorney. "He did not show it to
me, and. every circumstance in con
nection with the affair pointed to a
cose of kidnaping. When the con
stable showed him the writ, Long re
marked that lie was 'a good loser,' and
released Goldberg without further
question."
Sparks was represented in court yes
terday by his associate, H. C. Mlllsap,
who will be assisted at today's hearing
by Attorney Louis R. Works.
