These total to date 0610. It is IntereHtinff to noto that Cali fornia furnishes the largest number of inquiries from any one state, about 20 per cent of the toUil. The other states In the order of volume of commuiilcatlunH is OreRon, Washington, Illinois. New York, Oan nda, Montana, Texas, Ohio, Idaho, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kunsus, MiHHOUrl, Mussarhusettn. Oth ers In the list have less than 100 In quiries each for the four year period. It is significant that the three Pa cific coast states lead and that Cali fornia Is very much ahead of any others. It may be that this Is becuuse of the flow of unHettled tourists al ways moving along the highways of the 1'acifio coast seeking a pluce of permanent abode. As to the general Interest manifest In Medford over the four year period 1920 and 1921 ran about equal. l2'i was about 20 per cent better. 111113 fell a way off for some reason. It Is apparent, says Secretary Frohbach, thtU udvortising must be done to at tract attention. Med ford's poor show ing for last year may bo duo to tho fact that greater publicity due to rail road construction has come to other cities In the same general territory. Tho advertising fund that Portland has raised will be spont for many activities, but the first one that has been given publicity is the Los An geles bureau. It has boen recognized for a long tlmo by those who have studied the situation that southern California is a fertile field to roach a large part of the American public who are on the move and who may be re garded as excellent investment and Hettlement prospects.

Leo Stack, a Denver oil man, testified to day before the senate committee that the Pioneer Oil company officials had told him confidentially a week before Teapot Dome was leased that Harry F. Sinclair was to get the lease. When the oil comrnlttee resumed Hs hearings today, Stack, who testified yesterday, was cross-examined by Chairman Lenroot. Stack emphasized the danger of drainage of Teapot Dome by wells which would be opened on the land surrounding the naval re serve under the action which the in terior department had taken In 1920 when the rights to operate on such land had been sold at public action. "In 1020 It was common talk among the oil men that the reserve was be ing drained," he said. He declared that he -had never thought of seeking to obtain a lease to the entire reserve but was only trying to arrange for the privilege of driving offset wells to prevent drain age of the entire reserve. His ad vances to obtain an arrangement had been rejected In 1017 by Admiral Griffin and Commanders Stewart, Wright and Shafroth. Taking issue with George Creel, who testified yesterday, Stack said the former chairman of the committee on public Information did know that E. L. Doheny was associated with him In the efforts to get a lease to drill offset wells In Teapot Dome. "I may not have told him the money I paid him came from Do heny," said Stack, "but he knew I had none and that Mr. Doheny was back ing me." ' Stack said the $5000 he paid Creel was thq amount named by tho latter as the "grubstake" ho would need. Creel was employed, he said, because he knew the officials In Washington and was to represent the syndicate In tho natlonul capital. n BERLIN, Feb. 14.
