UNPOPULAR OCTOPUS
RECEIVES APPLAUSE
Newly Organized Weekly in Los
Angeles Tells of "Good" Done
by the Standard Oil
In these df&'S of muckraking ami
general revolt against monopoly, says
the Oil and Mining Digest, it may bo
•well to suggest mildly that there is
something to say for large aggrega
tions of capital such as Standard Oil.
That corporations seems to stand in
the eye of a large section of the pub
lic as the typical octopus in the ocean
of national activities.
It is true that Standard Oil has, by
the exercise of certain business meth
ods, managed to acquire an amount of
capital that gives it a tremendous ad
vantage in any field of development.
Yet it must be remembered that Stan
dard Oil is a natural evolution of our
national growth.
Twenty years ago the newspapers
and magazines of the land joined in
one unceasing and overwhelming cho- i
rus of laudation of Rockefeller and
others of his kind who were occupied
In the development of natural resources.
No praise was too great to be be
stowed on them. They were typical
Americans— of whom the country
had every reason to be proud and men
■whom other countries, trailing along in
the wake of this country's marvelous
progress, looked on with awe and
envy i
Schoolboys were taught about the
■wonderful things Rockefeller was doing
■with the added admonition, "Go thou
and do likewise." It did not occur to
anyone at that period to condemn |
Standard Oil, although its Juggernaut
car was crushing even then all who
could not grapple to its wheels. The
Bhouting and the tumult did not cease
■until certain of the wiser sort pointed
out that under cover of all this praise
and national self-gratulation the oc
topus had managed to get a strangle
hold on much of the nation's wealth.
As far as any national conscience ex
isted on the matter in the early days
of Standard Oil perhaps the majority
of the people of the United States held
that the attainment of -wealth was the
chief end of existence and admitted
that placed in a similar position and
given similar opportunities they would
act in a similar manner. The man who
got the coin was and is still to a great
extent the one individual who merited
the term ".smart," and deserved the
united commendation of the nation.
TIMES CHANGE CONDITION
In changing times with changing
Ideals- in an age of increased popula
tion and with natural resources tied
up the point of view seems to have
altered and Standard Oil and its con
freres now come in ■ for as great a
measure of execration and condemna
tion as they formerly received approv
al. Is this just?
Standard Oil is an evolution. Not
even Rockefeller himself when he set
out on his wonderful career had any
conception of the extent to which his
wealth would grow. It is not in the
least degree possible that he contem
plated the development of the full
grown company which now holds BO
large a portion of the commercial field
in the United States. The thing grew;
could not help growing and cannot
help growing still further. It is a
Frankenstein-a monster called into
existence by the hand of a master
hand that conceived It; but grown now
out of all its original proportions and
master of its master. _ -
Even at the worst Standard Oil has
not done anything more than other cor
porations have done and are still do
ing. The very men who cry out most
against it are actuated mainly by the
fact that its gigantic power renders
abortive their own attempts to follow
out similar purposes.
SOME GOOD TRAITS
The much condemned company has,
too some good traits about it. It is
well known that it treats its employes
courteously and liberally. In cases
•where the sternest justice would be
meted out to offending, negligent or
foolish employes it has been lenient.
]t has never forgotten to reward faith
ful service and its servants have found
certainty of tenure of office and gen
erous consideration of their Interests
■when superannuated. All that Is a
great deal more than can be said for
many of the interests and Individu
als who condemn the company and its
methods.
in California Standard Oil has done
nothing more than all the Interests
have been doing. It brought hither
capital and at a time when capital
■was needed it struck out into the Held
of development.
If the company has enjoyed rebates
60 have other companies that self
righteously accuse, the Standard, It i
engaged in legitimate business, under
the laws of the United States and in
California under the laws of the state.
(Both of which are no questioned.—
]2d.) It is giving employment to thou-
Bands, It has often gone into virgin
fields and spent money there to no re
eult; but has given the benefit of its
experience in that way to other hold
ers of similar property.
DIX> ITS PART
To the Standard Oil company is due
in great part the development of the
oil industry in California. It has
erected huge reservoirs and bought and
stored oil. (It has refined oil chiefly,
leaving the development to others.—
Ed.) In so far as its methods have
been in accordance with the laws of
the United States and of this btate
it has been acting in good faith and
entirely within its rights.
If the people of the west are only
now awaking to the sense of oppor
tunities lust in the line of conserva
tion of natural resources that is in cv-
cry way their own fault and cannot
be blamed on large aggregations of
capital like standard Oil. The nation
was in a hurry to grow and it is cer
tain that without the aid of capital
which pioneered the way and built
the railroads and developed natural re
sources the west would not be today in
its advanced stage of progress. What
ever changes may nome in the way of
curbing the predatory instincts of cor
porations and of regulating the stak
ing and acquirement of valuable natu
ral resources ii should be remembered
that in many way.-: companies like
Stand by their early and killfu] ac
tivities contributed much fo the bet
terment of the nation. In conclusion
It may be well to remember that cau
tion conveyed in the old proverb and
render, even to a certain personage not
named Ii circles polite, that which la
his due.

CLARA CONSOLIDATED
PATENTS BIG ACREAGE
PARKER, Oct. L'O.— Notices of appli
cation for patent of twenty-three min
ing claims In the Santa Maria district,
and thirty-one In the Harcuvar dis
trict, or a total of fifty-four claims, all
belonging to the Clara Consolidated
Alining company, are published this
week in the Wickenburg Miner. The
reason that they do not appear in the
Swansea Times, where they would
seem to naturally belong, is that the
Times la not yet a "yearling," and,
undor the statutes in such cases made |
and provided, no newspaper which has
not attained that dignified age is eligi
ble to the privilege of printing Uncle
Sum's legal notices. The Miner, be
ing the nearest duly qualified publi
cation, was therefore designated as
the paper in which the notices must
lie printed. The only really Impor
tant point in connection with the sub
ject is that the Clara Consolidated is
ucqulrlng absolute title to a big bunch
of its holdings, and therefore taking
another forward step In he course
which is destined to bring it Into the
front rank of the Kreat mining con
cerns of the southwest.

RUTH MINE SUCCEEDS
IN NEW DEVELOPMEMTS
George Wingfield and Associates
i
Take Unlimited Capital to
Kingman Properties
KINGMAN, Oct. 26.—The Ruth mine
1 is being developed by the new shaft,
i and report comes from the property
; that it is improving. This property is
to be equipped with a complete
cyanide plant, capable of handling at
least fifty tons of ore daily. Tin- ore
opened by former work shows high
values and the work is being supple
mented by the addition of the new
| shaft that will penetrate the heart of
I the ore body. The Kuth lies in the
rich section, close to the old Moss,
tlic property that made the name of
San Francisco district world wide by
i Its wonderful product of gold ore.
From this old Moss mine was taken
ore than ran more than $50,000 to the
ton. The Kuth values are well dis
seminated through the ore and respond
readily to cyanide treatment. The
management is rushing work on the
property and connection with the old
works will .soon be made.
The new Chilian mills have been put
in commission at the Gold Road mill
and are said to be doing fine work.
These mills will give the big- plant a
apacity of more than 300 tons daily,
making the production of gold more
than $100,000 monthly. It is reported
that the mine, in its development to
the. east of the Billy Bryan shaft, con
tinues to open rich ore. The mine now
has reserves of more than three years
for the big milling plant, all of which
will pay largely under present condi
tions.
Report corners to Kingman that a
prospector by the name of George has
di« overed a vein of ore In the neigh
borhood of the Hercules camp that
shows wonderful values in gold along
a larpe part of the outcrop. The vein
is quite large and the preliminary
work is exposing a large tonnage of
the rich material. The locality is one
of the best in the district, and should
it prove as rich at depth as the surface
showing Indicates it will be the bo
nanza property of that region.
FALMER OIL ACQUIRES
GRACIOSA PIPE LINE
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.—A deal
ree< ntly rut through "ii the bay by
which the Palmer Oil company be
comes possessor of the Graclosa pipe
line, from Cat canyon to Avila, is be
inj; hi arl'led as placing the concern
behind only the Standard. Associated
ami Union as a factor in the market

The deal Just consummated ia one
that has been rumored In oil circles
for several month?. The pipe line will
extend from the wells in Cat canyon
to Avila. This pipe line is to 1»- an
8-inch main with a carrying capacity
of from av.OOO to 20,000 barrels per
day.
To han He this big supply of oil the
Palmer i>il company has asked for
bids to construct four new storage
barrels' capacity each,
which will i;iv" the company a com
bined sto iclty of a quarter
million barrels. In addition the trans
portation facilities by water at Avila
are being improved. This port has
■at tow ii' and is an ideal
for oil.
Work will be started Immediately on
tlie pipe line to connect with the Gra
oiosa line recently purchased while
the b\g steel tanks should ba begun
within a few weeks. The add'tlon to
the pipe line should be completed in
thirty days. Pending its completion
well No. 2 has been shut down, as the
company has no means of handling
the immense output of oil.
At the present time the prop H ■
of the Palmer Oil company are pro
ducing 16,000 barrels daily and fur
ther contemplated dcvi lopments will

CONSUL REPORTS
AMPLE PULPWOOD
U. S. Official Says Canada Has
50-000,000 Cords for
Our Papermakers
(Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—Action of
the government of the province of I
Quebec, prohibiting the exportation of j
pulpwood out of crown lands under
lease on and after May 1, 1910, and on
settlers' lands taken up on and after
September 1, 1910, will not have the
effect of reducing the quantity of pulp- j
wood for export for years to oome,
and perhaps never, according to Con
sul pebbard Willrich of Quebec, who
has made a report on tho subject to
this government.
Consul Willrich reached this con
clusion after a careful study of the
pulpwood situation in Quebec. The
conclusion, he says, would not be jus
tified if settlers' lands located on prior,
to September 1, 1910, could have been j
made subject to the restriction, but ■
that cannot be done for legal and other
reasons. To deprive such settlers of ,
their lands, he says, is not practicable, i
nor even contemplated.
Referring to the idea expressed by
many that the lands of the province
which furnishes most of the pulpwood
will become exhausted, Mr. Willrich
quotes the following from an authority
writing in the Pulp & Paper Maga
zine of Canada:
"From a very conservative estimate
there are over 2,000,000 acres In for
est lands in the seignories in Que
bec, and about 3.000.000 acres of pat
ented and located lands, none of which
will be subject to the prohibition. Thi
would approximately give 50,000,000
cords of pulpwood. free to go to the
United States, which means that we
can supply the United States market
(taking as an average, the greatest
quant'ty already shipped in one year
to the United States, namely, 1,000,
--000 cords) for SO years to come. 1'
SAFEGUARD ENFORCING
OF CORPORATION LAW
New Mexico Constitutional Con
vention Adopts Unique
Provision
SANTA FE, N. M., Oct. 26.—The
commission on corporations of the
New Mexico constitutional convention
adopted today a unique safeguard i
against delay in the enforcement of
orders of the state corporation com
mission. The plan originated with
H. O. Bursum, chairman of the com
mittee and also chairman of the state
Republican committee.
P.y its provisions, if any person or
persons affected by an order of the
commission falls to appeal to the su-i
preme court of the state, the order I
and accompanying documentary evi
dence shall be at once submitted to
the supreme court to be affirmed. Tho
court is to be considered always In j
session for that purpose and must j
ihe consideration of the order j
preference over all other cases. If
error be found In the order, it is to
be sent back to the commission for
tlon and then affirmed. Thus a
indicia l precedent of the highest trib
unal of the state is established and
n i delay can be caused by subse
quent litigation.
The commission is to consist of three
elective members and will have a |
wide Bcope of power, from chartering
all new corporations to rate making)
for common carriers.

The aigrette is taken from the mother

terized the early days of Los Angeles

thoughtful homeseekers of Los Angeles.
This rich, level valley land, with
splendid water supply, fourteen hun
dred feet elevation, free from fogs and
frost; the cream of the citrus fruit dis
tricts. The ideal location for a coun
try home, scenery that surpasses even
Redlands. What more could one ask?
and the wholesale prices to first com
ers.
All Californians knov California's
old established Rural Home and Or
chard Magazine, the Western Empire.
Tinier the direction of the editor of
this paper eight big successful colonies
have been established. This big land,
opening is the ninth.
