It is doubtful if there has ever
heed such a great movement of in
vestors and speculators into any
class of stocks as that which is now
pouring into the petroleum industry.
This is especially true of the shares
of new companies formed for the
purpose of producing oil.
Within the last six months Wall
Street and the public throughout the
tountrv generally have turned to oil
stocks with a simply amazing fervor.
The "oils" have become the favorites
not only of speculators, but of many
who consider tcmselves conservative
investors, and of brokers and appar
ently of the most solid hankers. The
name of oil has become magic, and
the financial eomiminitv which a I'eiv
vcars ago knew nothing and cared
less about the oil industry is now
workiug overtime gathering informa
tion nod compiling statistics regard
ing the position and wonderful pos
sibilities of the new industrial and fi
nancial giant Oil.
The completeness of the change is
well illustrated by a brief conversa
lion which the writer had n short
time ago with Hie vice president of
one of the richest and most consor
vative banks in New York City. This
bank is synonymous with all that is
supposed to typify the best and most
solidl traditions of Wall Street. I
had just told the vice president that
I had recently visited the new oil
fields of Texas, Ranger and Hurk-
burnett.
"I am gain? down there in a few
days myself," he replied. '"We ex
pect to invest down there. It's ab
surd that we should have waited so
long to get into the oil same. Think
ot all the years handicap those peo
pic at 20 Broadway (Standard Oil)
have had over lis," and he looked out
of the window regretfully as if 1
could not forgive the older men in
the powerful group of capitalists- to
which he belongs for not having
sooner followed in the paths of John
D. Rockefeller.
Dissolution of the old Standard
Oil combination, the almost stai tliii!
increase in the consumption of oil,
and, finally, the war. All these
events have combined, so to speak, to
take the lid. off the industry and open
u up wide. Hcview of Reviews.

SAYS SUP'T MR
A letter froni Dr. David Rohcrg.
our state health officer, was sent out
several days ago to school members
of this county through school clerks.
The letter contained a' copy of para
graph 1-11. page of the Oregon
school laws of lillO. and also the
following ruling from the state board
of health: 'lf smallpox exists in a
cumiiiiiuitv, the county or city
hoards of health shall provide free
vaccination for persons desiring pro
tection against . infection. When
smalipox exists in a coinmumlv no
child shall be permitted to attend
school without presenting satisfac
tory evidence of having been suc
cessfully vaccinated within, seven
years."
Ihc above ruling applies only to
those communities where the epidemic
actually exists. We are informed,
that, even in such cases, it is not de
sirable to resort to vaccinntion of
all school children when only one oi'
two segregated cases of smullimh
are to he found. Vaccinal ion should
be reouired only; where inilicatNius
woulii lead our county health ollicer
to believe an epidemic is liable to oc
cur. When the oucstion of whether vac
cination should be reouired. or
whether a school should be closed for
feur of an epidemic is raised, the ad
vice of the county health officer
should be obtained. We are in-
tonned thta there is no cause tor
alarm here in Jackson county ex
cept in a few cases now well under
control. No school should be closed
just because one of tho larger schools
finds it necessary to close. The ud
vice of vour county health officer
may he obtained bv calling- Dr. T. J,
Mnlmgren, Sledford. (i-F-3.
Teachers are advised thai no pu
pil should be permitted to remain in
school if he shows signs of having
sore thront. headache, or if he need:
to resort of sneezing or hns runiiini
of the nose. It is usually best to re
ouire n statement from the doctor in
charge of cases whero n contagion is
known to exist.' before members from
that family are permitted to return
to the soiled. Where instructions
are followed and such matters arc
carefully considered and watched, it
will usually be far belter to keep the
schools open. G. W. AC1ER.
