TODAY IS NOT AN
OFFICIAL HOLIDAY
MISTAKE IX OFFICE OF
SECRETARY OF STATE
Assistant Renders Decision Which
Gives 3Iany City, County, State and
Government Employes a Holiday to
Which They Are Not Entitled.
Postoffice employes, city, state,
county and federal employes and of
ficials have been enjoying a vacation
today to which they were not entitled.
For this pleasure and privilege they
have to thank an assistant In the of
fice of the secretary of state and th
newspapers.
This is flag day, but it seems that
It Is not necessarily a legal holiday as
naa advertised.
It seems that a few days ago a
deputy county clerk In Baker county
wrote to the office of the secretary
of state to ascertain if the governor's
proclamation made the day a 'non
judicial one. The assistant In the of
fice of the secretary of state render
ed an opinion in which he held that
It would be a non-judicial day. This
opinion was published broadcast with
the results that courts were adjourn
ed, offices closed, holiday hours ob
served and an unexpected and unde
served vacation enjoyed all over the
tate.
The following dispatch from Salem
'was received too late to spoil a sln
g'e fishing trip, open an office or
convene a court:
Governor Only Recommended.
Salem, Ore.. June 14. Today is flag
day but courts can proceed with cases
thi same as any other day. Through
a mistake many courts in Oregon got

today, owing to Governor Benson's
flag day proclamation, which only
recommended observance of the day.

CAMFORXIA" Olli IXDUSTRY
HAS GREAT GROWTH
San Francisco, Cal. California's
great petroleum industry shattered
two records during the month of May
just passed, when more oil was pro
duced and larger dividends paid than
for any one month In the history of
tne industry.
Dividend disbursements for May of
o companies listed on the San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles 'stock exchanges
totaled $1,326,626.95, making the
grand total of dividends paid by these
companies since the organization of
the exchanges $31,284.903 42.
In addition to the dividend pay
ments by the listed oil companies, un
listed petroleum corporations dis
bursed large sums during May which,
if the figures were available, would
swell the totals for last month to
much larger proportions. Among the
largest dividend disbursements made
by unlisted companies for May is that
of the California Oil Fields Limited,
which distributed $670,000.
The California petroleum produc
tion for May, based on carefully pre
pared estimates, was 6,900,000 barrels
an increase of 281,364 barrels over
the output for April, which in turn
was 590,012 barels greater than for
March.
Increased pipe line and storage fa
cilities have been and are being pro
vided to handle this rapidly increasing
output of the precious fluid and over
production seemingly is not feared by
the big operators.
Some Oil Notes.
San Francisco. Suit has Just been
instituted by J. Francis Naden to re
cover $140,000, claimed as a commis
sion for the sale of the Thirty-Three,
Imperial and Keith and Mack ground
in theh Kern river field, which was
sold on April 1st to a British com
pany for $5,000,000.
The Paula Oil company, which is
controlled by a number of the larger
stockholders of the Palmer Oil com
pany, has Just brought In No. 1 well
of a new series in the San Paula can
yon, at a depth of 1760 feet, which Is
producing 200 barrels dally.
The Refining and Producing Oil
Co., which recently acquired the Oil
port Refinery and Alliance proper
ties, is now securing a right of way
for a pipe line that will connect the
Midway field with the Santa Maria
Port Harford pipe line. The route
selected is very direct and will make
the line approximately 84 miles long.
The great Lakeview geyser con
tinues to spout at the rate of 4 7,000
to 60,000 barrels daily, with no signs
of dimunition. All of the oil is be
ing cared for. with but small loss
from seepage and evaporation.
The California Independent Oil
Producers' agency has guaranteed the
Doheny companies and the Nevada
Petroleum company 50 cents per bar
rel for their oil. This is accepted in
oil circles as proof that there will be
no drop In prices, inasmuch as the
present average price Is 41 to 44
cents.

WOMEN'S IXXJTXG IN
THE RACQUET CIRCLES
London. The visit of the American
lawn tennis team to England this sea
son to play the preliminary round of
the Dwight Davis cup competition will
give a general stimulus to English
tennis.
Bright as are the prospects of the
season, however, It is probable that
1910 will be a woman's year.
Miss Boothby will defend her title,
and before the year Is over more
struggles between her and Miss Mor
ton, which were one of the chief fea
tures of last season, may be expected.
This year will be remarkable for
the number of first class women play
ers who will make a return to the
principal tournaments under different
names from those by which they are
most familiar.
Mrs. Lambert Chambers (Miss
Uouglas) has already given an indi
cation of a taste of her form by win
ning the coveted courts champion
ship. Mrs. Lacombe, who a few years
ago as Miss Thompson reached the fi
nal at Wimbledon will again be play
ing. Mrs. Sterry will play in dou
bles; Mrs. Louard (Miss Wilson) will
probably be seen at Beckenham and
Wlmpledon; Mrs. Lamplough (Miss
Eastlake Smith) will make a welcome
reappearance, while Mrs. Hannan
(Miss Boucher) Is returning from
Canada and will play in most of the
leading tournaments. There Is even
some talk of the reappearance of Miss
Dodd, who won the championship five
times.
$50,000 AIRSHIP TO
JOIN FRANCE'S FLEET
London. In a few months' time the
French army will be In possession of
a powerful fleet of airships which will
stand even before that of Germnnv
The sums voted by parliament, to
gether with that produced by public
subscriptions, will enable the republic
to possess fourteen airships and thirty
aeroplanes, which have been ordered
from var.ous manufacturers na th n.
suit of competition.
Among the dirigibles which are be
ing supplied Is one of a new fvne in
vented by the engineer,' Labro, which
has been selected by the committee
appointed by, the ministry of war.
This new dirigible will take part
In the army maneuvers in September.
It is considered to be superior In
several respects to all the existing
aerial cruisers. It is of the semi
rigid type. Its shape is like a cigar,
and It is 76 meters long and 8 meters
broad. The balloon, which has a ca
pacity of 6000 cubic meters, has in
side seven airtight compartments,
each of which contains a separate bal
loon. The dirigible will have two
cars, one at each end.
These are Joined together by a rig
Id bar made of metal consisting of
aluminum and metallis salts, which
gives it great resisting power, com
bined with lightness.- It is principally
In the metal employed that the novelty
of the invention consists, the weight
of the. rigid parts being only 800 kilos,
or 300 less than that of the Zeppe
lin. There Is a transverse rigid bar sup
porting its propellers, and three mo
tors of 80-horsepower each are car
ried In one of the cars. It will carry
eight passengers, and Is capable of
an eleven hours' run at the rate of
fifty miles an hour, which is almost
double that of any existing dirigible.
The new airship is called "La Fri
gate," and its cost will be about $50,-000.
I5KAK AND THE MIKADO
ARE GETTING TOGETHER
St. Petersburg. The question of
Russo-Japanese relations, which has
lately given rise to sensational re
ports in the foreign and Russian
press, may be briefly stated as fol
lows: Both countries have realized
the expediency of a closer under
standing. This view has been dic
tated by political economic consider
ations. The attitude of the other
powers in some cases friendly, but
in others adverse to the respective
interests of Russia and Japan has
only strengthened the tendency on the
part of St. Petersburg and Tokio to
come together.
The road to a final understanding,
however, must be cleared of disputes
arising out of the late war. Alto
gether 14 controversal matters are
pending. All of these with one ex
ception, are trifling. The exceptions
relates to the capture of Russian hos
pital ships, which the Japanese Justi
fy on the ground that they carried
war stores. Russia contests this as
sertion, and raises the question of
principle. The case Is one which
seems to pertain to the jurisdiction
of The Hague tribunal.
M. Isvolsky and Baron Montono
will probably resume in the immediate
future conversations which will tend
toward a settlement of the outstand
ing disputes. The desire on both sides
to pass to the more important nego
tiations for a general agreement is
coupled with a hearty readiness on
the part of the allies of Russia and
Japan to co-operate, so that there Is
substantial grounds for the hope that
that desire may be gratified without
loss of time. The statements that
Japan contemplates the immediate
anexatlon of Korea are misleading.
When that event occurs It may be
presumed that Japan's allies and
friends will not suffer.
PASCO RECLAMATION CO.
WILL SOON HE Rl
ADY
The Pasco Reclamation company
are nearing the completion of their
plant, which will water the thirsty
acres around Pasco, says the Express.
The first pump of the company's
plant was put to work last Tuesday
and the pipe lines were tested to some
extent with satisfactory results.
When complete the company will
have three pumps working, all of
which will pump water into the same
flume. Extra pumps have been pro
vided, so in case one should become
disabled for any reason, there will be
no shortage of water for the plant."
Some of the land owners will have
their land in shape to receive the wa
ter as early as possible. While none
of them were ready for it at the time
the company had it ready for them It
became npparent that they were los
ing valuable time in putting off level
ing their land and sime have been
getting busy. It is thought that by
fall much of the land will be In shape
for the water and crops will be start
ed for the following year.
The irrigation system, when finish
ed, will be one 'of the most complete
ir the west. This statement Is not
coined by Pasco boosters. It Is on
the lips of every person who visits
the plant and looks over the system.

MICHIGAN WIDOW FIXDS
HUSBAND IN THE WEST
Boise, Idaho. Determined to find
a bachelor-husband In the far West,
especially In an Irrigated country,
where she could live on a large ranch
happily ever afterward, Mrs. Elvina
L. Herberg. fair and not yet 40, of
far-away Michigan had her most ar
dent desire fulfilled, for she met

Llklns.
Senator W. E. Borah, of Idaho, play
ed a prominent part In the guise of
cupld.
When Jerry Llklns, once a busi
ness man of Boise, but now engaged
In farming, read some six months ago
In a local paper a letter forwarded to
Senator Borah by a mysterious wid
ow, who wanted to become acquaint
ed with a Western man, and specifi
cally stating she desired a rancher,
he came o the conclusion he must be
the one wnnted. and forthwith ad
dressed a letter to the would-be bride.
She was not slow to answer and for
six months the correspondence be
tween the two was In progress. This
courtship by mall culminated In the
agreement of the widow to come out
from her home In Marquette, Mich.,
to Boise, and If conditions were to
her liking, to mtrry Mr. Llklns.
Less than six days ago she started
on her long Journey, and Mr. Llklns
prepared for her reception.
The happy couple adjourned to the
Likins ranch, where they talked over
their prospective marriage and reach
ing an agreement, set out for Boise,
were married by the Probate Judge
and are now on their fruit farm.
