NO IDLENESS
EXPECTED HERE
THIS INTER
Whore Is that loug-facod, hollow-
ied -cheeked, atoopod-abouldared, drab,
old pessimist that wm trooping up
and down tha atreot few weeks
MO, telllng'tbe world that "next
winter U going to be the hardest tbla
city baa over soent" There was
not 'only one of the gentry around,
but there was a Urge number re
presented by many of the otherwise
progressive Individuals, who some
how or other seemed to havo had an
attack of something that blinded
their vision and destroyed their op
tlralam.
AVwH, Old Man Pessimism seems to
have disappeared. At least ha Is
holtd-up for the present, with every
Indication that he will remain so.
It la all due to tbo change that has
taken place In tho box shook market,
go'rornmunl stock loans aud he bum
per crops of grain.
It Is the expectation that three men
"will be working this wlntor where
there was but one last year. Last
1M end wlnler-tbe-hottom-feU out
of the shook market, and all plants
Just operated enough to keep their
best "men together. This condition
prevailed up to a few weeks sgo whon
Vders began to come In. Now some
of the plants are running two shifts,
with enough orders on band to keep
them going until the middle of Janu
ary. Th,oee familiar with the box
shook situation claim that by Janu
ary there will not- be a box shook In
reserve on the Coast and the condi
tion of the market wilt be sack as to
Justify Ike continuation of operations
at (all blaal all winter. If tbla prog
noeUoeiion Is correct. It "means - a
bigger winter payroll for this city
than lilies ever bad, since tn addl
tkn't(J the factories already In opera
.toon" the big new plant now being
b'ullt by the Pelican Day Lumber com
pany will be running.
' The next favorable sign for Improv
' d conditions Is found In the funding
'of stock loans under the plan pro
posed', by. 'tbo ' government. Under
.this all stock loans now carried by
fa
o banks will bo taken over by the
4o0.000.000 pool recently formed snd
tSftll be carried by It tor three years.
T6ts will mako available assets tbst
at few weekn sgo bankers thought
"iwould be tied up indefinitely. Under
this program there la hardly a stock-
' ssan who cannot "weather the gale"
and pay out within the three-year
period.
JTbe bumper grain crop Is another
bjgh sign of relief, tbo Indications
being that there la to bo no tack of
Varket for practically every bushel
of 'grain raised, with plenty of monoy,
both local and outside, to handle It.
A couple of months ago It looked aa
if the farmer would have hla grain
tied up Indefinitely, because thero
was no money to pay fr It, but this
cloud has entirely disappeared, and
while the price Is considerably low
er than last year, the difference Is
compensated for by the fact that
there la a market.
These favorablo signs are begin
ning to dawn upon the business men
of the city and they aro ahaklng
themsolVM nwoko and preparing to
Join In tho general foellng of pros
pority that la slowly but suroly pro
radlng the community. Tho heavy
losses sustained by somo of them be
cause of the great shrinkage of va
lues atunnod them for awtillo, but
already thero bl feHet appeurlng on
the horlion n tho shapo of market
changes that will lighten tho heavy
burden they havo been carrying.
Tho big Jump.ln tho price of cotton
during the past ten days, with tho
Indications of further advances, will
havo Its compensating Influence.
Buyers are rushing Into the markets
to purchase stocks at tho present low
Jove), and this wlso-move will help
to recoup some of their losses. The
only person who will really profit
by all theso changes is tho con
sumer who was wiso enough to,guess
right when tho bottom had been
reached and bought what ho needed.
From now on blghor prices may bo
looked for 'in every line, with the
exception of groceries. These should
f o to a still lower level.

TOKIO. Sept. 16. If China de
clines Japan's proposals regarding
the turning of Shantung back to
China, which the government con
siders eminently reasonable, Japan
may refuse to discuss tho question
at the Washington conference. It is
believed here that the immigration
question wilt be kept off the pro
gram, as It is thought that a sec
tion of Japanese public opinion
favors raising the general question
of racial equality.

LSOOT
Confidence In the certainty of
oil la the Siemens' well was in
creased yesterday when the cap
rock In which the drill has been
working was poaetrated. A fine,
black, gritty sand was encountered
and this seems to bo Impregnated
with gas and oil soot. When this
and Is deposited In tho sump,
tho sun causes It to bubble up In
llttlo cone-sbsped mounds, which
flatten out If touched. The pre
vailing opinion Is that the beat of
the sun release the gas, and this
Is held by the coating of mud that
Is mixed with tho sand, thus form
ing a "pocket." It l claimed that
there Is a groat similarity between
this sand and that found in -the
Wyoming fields. '
Another very favorablo indica
tion Is tho strong showing of oil
soot that Is present .This In other
fields has been an unfailing Indi
cation of oil and usually immed
iately precedes tbo real sand, It Is
said.
The Indications are that there la
a small leak or crack In the ce
ment, but as It has been decided
to keep on drilling until the real
oil sands are encountered, this
loak will not Interfere with the
drilling. The bellot Is that If oil
la struck It will be in the nature
of a gusher and the pressure from
this will be great enough to shut
out the water.
To drilling operations are pro
gressing most satisfactorily and no
untoward event are expected , to
Prevent the completion of tho well

If thot expeetetJena .of the pro
moters are reined, tomorrow ta
going to be tbe;bMr day at tao
Orand Central Marketthe 'met-
Ing place of producer and
- i
sumer. Bo far the faimlrs
have
not been able to meet the
not realising the Immense quan
tities .of produce consumed and. be
ing unfamiliar with what tb bwy
Ing i public really wanted,
week, however, they have
gaining a little, and It la expected
that tomorrow the demand will be
met, with a little to spare, aa the
word baa gone to the farmers to
come early and bring a llttlo saore
than you export to sell. ' ,
Through the city the Interest tn
tbe market la increasing aa the
housewives learn the big saving to
bo mad, tbe superiority of the
produce by reason of ita freshness
and the better flavor of tbe home
grown article- It la the belief that
sates will approach closely to tbe
$2000 mark tomorrow.
As tbe success of tbe public mar
ket Is going to depend upon the
fsrmers more than upon the buy
ing public, those among tbe pro
ducers who bare been strong advo
cates of something that will bring
tbe conaamer and producer togeth
er ar being urged to spread, tbla
message among their friends and
natgbboral
"Bring to tbe public

It, In a presentable, attractive
.... '.-A--.. .t-V. -i
manner. i-i us mauw imm w-m-sumer
that we are In earnest; that
we want to meet his" demarid; that
we Intend to help hlnr reduce tbe
cost of living; that tho public
market Is not only going to be
permanent fixture, but It Is going
to be a success."
Under tho plan proposed by Mar
ket Msstor Cramblltt,- It Is going
to be possible for tbe .farmers of
tho county to dispose of all of
tholr surplus produco. Heretofore.
It a farmer bad a small quantity
of produco. It was a case of feed,
It to stock or let u roi in ine noiu.
Thousands of dollars Worth of
crops have been wasted each year
because of this. Not only has the
farmer been unable to reach tho
consumer direct In a small way,
but It has been, utterly hopeless
for him to' do so on a largor scale
when It came to. shipping to outside
markeU be surplus. All this will
bo changed"4 nnar the plan pro
posed by jUr. Cramblltt.
Ho Intends, It the public market
plan goes through, to find outside
markets to which the surplus can
be shipped and to gather together
tho small lots that farmers have
to sell and assemble them Into car
load shipments, thus getting for
the farmer the highest possible
price as woll aa finding tbe market
for him. Ho will Instruct the farm
ora bow to prepare their produce
tor tho market, so that It will find
ready salo and command the high
est price.
It Is needless to say that all of
this will require tbe closest co
operation tbe kind that bos made
fcrtunes for tbo producers of Cali
fornia. Tomorrow, as usual, the public
market will be open to the con
sumer and it is the expectation- that
there will be a sufficient quantity
of everything to meet the demand
of tbo public.
