Day of the United States geological survey. The production in 1912, which made the record up to that time, was 22,113,218 barrels. The rate of increase In 1913 wat greater at the end of the year than at the beginning. California increased at least 10.000,000 barrels over 1912, almost reaching 100,000,000 barrels. The consumption In California equaled the production, and the addition to stocks was very Oklahoma also showed a significant increase, with about 6 per cent addition to the stocks.

Texas and Louisiana likewise increased their product. The output of the gulf field declined, but this was more than offset by the increases in northern Louisiana and Texas. AVyoming showed a significant increase from the Salt creek field. Other states generally showed a decline, which was greatest in Illinois. FARMERS' BILL MEASURE, PRESENTED BY RE QUEST, PROVIDES FOR MARKETING CO-OPERATION.

Washington, Jan. 17. Co-operation among the farmers instead of competition, that "the farmer may receive the whole of the consumer's dollar for his product instead of 3 or 4 per cent, as now is the case," is the aim of a bill Introduced today by Senator Borah to create an "agricultural capital" or clearing house to be run by the farmers under government charter or subsidy. The hill would furnish machinery for sclentifiec marketing and standardization of farm products under direction of a countrywide organization of producers irrespective of government control. It created a stir in the senate, Senator Borah explaining later that he had not written the measure, but had Introduced it together with a memorial, at the Ret tig, a farmer Wash.

In the memorial that farmers were request of E. H. of Opportunity, Rettig submitted neglected by the made the deelara-t rusts" had done government and he tion that the "big more good for the public than the government. Asserting that "competition is the mother of waste," Mr. Ret tig said, "tlie law of business success is cooperation." "Think of the stupidity of our national government," he continued, "encouraging us citizens to produce wealth and after it has been produced Insisting on these same citizens contesting against each other for possession of the things they have produced.

"I am going to venture the assertion that the Standard Oil company, International Harvester company, the steel trust, and other so-called trusts the government has sought to disrupt have done more real Samaritan service for the benefit of the masses than our government." M'REYNOLDS ASSAILED. Washington', Jan. 17. Vigorous criticism of the department of Justice, particularly in relation to the New York, Haven Hartford railroad and the American Telephone Telegraph company cases was made In the house today by Representative Morgan of Oklahoma. He said thilt while the result of the settlements reached might be beneficial, Attorney lienetal Mclteynolds had exceeded his authority In settling out of court cases which should have been prosecuted under thu law.

ENDEAVOR SOCIETY PLANS FOR MANY ACTIVITIES FOLKS IN CALGARY officials and organizers of the West ern federation of Miners who are un der Indictment here for conspiracy, will be considered fugitives from Jus-t ce by Houghton county prosecutors unless they returi voluntarily to the sii.te to stand trial. "I consider it my duty to have them brought back here for trial under the indictment," George E. Nichols, the special prosecutor, said tonight. Mr. Nichols expressed the opinion that the federation leaders would return of their own accord, but he made it plain that the full power of the state's legal machinery would be brought into play if necessary to produce them in court on January when the 31 striking copper miners indicted jointly with them are formally arraigned.

All of the strikers who have been a(rrested here under the conspiracy charge appeared today before Judge O'Brien and gave bond for their appearance at the next term of court. Thrifty farmers from county came to town all over the to furnish bail for countrymen who conspiring to prevent filling jobs in the are accused of non-union men mines. Before nightfall all the strikers, including four men indicted on the charge of carrying concealed weapons, had been released from custody. The special grand jury spent the day in secret session considering the deportation of Moyer and Charles Tanner from the copper district on the night of December 2fi. Adjournment was taken until Monday without any Indictments on this phase of the strike being returned.

Forty-nine strike-breakers arrived in the district today from Chicago and went to work in the Ahmeek and Allouez mines which are operated by the Calumet Hecla company. No effort was made to molest them. Thirty men, including a few strikers, started to work in the Osceola, another Calumet Hecla mine which the company says is now operating its normal force. SHACKS' ON WATER-WORKS HILL NO LONGER STAND GUARD OVER THE CITY. Two of the oldest landmarks around Mls.soula were wiped out of, existence yesterday when the little buildings just above the sandpit on waterworks hill were torn down and reduced to kind-llngwood.

The work of razing the shanties real buildings they were considered at the time of their construction has been going on for several days, but the loss of the landmarks was more noticeable yesterday because of the fire kindled there to dispose of the rubbish. Many watched the blaze, thinking that in this manner the buildings were destroyed. First Water Tanks. Nearly 30 years ago the first of these little houses was built on the hill, and the second had stood the wind and storm of 22 seasons. They were constructed by the old Missoula Water company as covering and protection for the small tanks into which the water brought from the Rattlesnake by the old pipe line emptied.

In these tanks It was diverted to the city mains. These tanks served until the present reservoir was built some years ago. To carefully guard the tanks the company employed a 'watchman, Pat Ilanrahan, a character well remembered by the older residents' here, bore upon his shoulders the responsibility attached to this Job, and for years slept In the little house first built. The old shacks were worthless, but they were landmarks, reminders of old days and old conditions, and us such they will be missed. D.

E. W. DYNAMITE FARMING (Engineering News.) I'ynantlte for subsolllng agricultural lands Is being exploited by the I. Hu Pont do Nemours Towder company. It Is claimed that on many soils the loosening up of the subsoil wdll Improve the dralnngo and Increase the fertility.

Tho work Is done by boring holes to a depth of alfout three feet, which on ordinary soil are spaced about 15 feet tipart each way. In each hole Is placed about a quarter of a pound of low-Krudo 20 per cent dynamite. The materials required for nn acre of land treated In this way are about B0 pounds of dynamite, 194 blasting raps, and about fillO feet of fuse. These materials are sold direct to consumers at a cost of about 12.50. To tho cost of materials must bo added, of course, th cost of transportation and the labor of boring tho holes ami placing the dynamite.

Two others have been circulated in Missoula and a number of affidavits secured from men who had dealings with Parsons and who believe him to be a very dangerous character. Attorney E.

C. Mulroney has been delegated to carry these documents to Helena and present them to the board and make the argument against the prisoner's sentence being reduced. Murdered Trudeau. The story of the Parsons case was reviewed at some length in The Missoulian a week ago. Parsons killed Edward Trudeau of I.olo, February 14, 1904.

The murder was in cold blood and Parsons spent a day in the hills holding at bay a posse of officers and citizens led by Under-sheriff Addison Sterling, Deputy Sheriff John Gannon and Constable W. W. White. During the running fight Parsons shot Ole Erickson, a member, of the posse, in the shoulder. Running out of ammunition Parsons came to the city the following day with a woodhauler and surrendered himself to former Chief Fox of the fire department.

He was tried for murder and sentenced to 99 years. He escaped a sentence of death, it was thought at the time, because of the evedince adduced at the trial to show that he had had an ungovernable temper since childhood and that it was probable his mind wag deranged. No one in this vicinity who knew Parsons and has expressed an opinion, believes that the murderer should ever be let loose, no matter what his prison record may be. D. E.

W. IS THE CAREY PAST YEAR WAS MOST SUCCESS FUL IN ADMINISTRATION OF THE SYSTEM. Washington, Jan. 17. (Special.) The past year has witnessed the most satisfactory results In the administration of the so-called Carey act than any previous year since its enactment, according to the report of Commissioner Tallman.

Much of this success is attributed to the growing tendency among the states to co-operate toward uniformity of procedure, the commissioner says, which has resulted in a much larger number of approvals this year over last. The commissioner approves the suggestion that a Carey act convention or conference be arranged, under the auspices of the department of the Interior, to meet either at Washington or nt some central point In the west, to take up and carefully consider the whole situation with the object of bringing about greater uniformity In this line of work. That some western states have not found the act a complete success Is probably due to lack of proper state laws In Its support, it Is suggested. In this connection Commissioner Tallmnn submits an outline for a new measure to take the place of the original act and Its 15 amendments, as follows: An unlimited grant to the various desert land state of lands desert in character on practically the same terms as provided by the present law. A clause, providing as a condition subsequent, that the state should patent no lands received by It under this act excepting after at least a year of actual residence and cultivation.

In case actual, substantial work of construction Is not commenced on a project within two years niter Its approval, cancellation to follow unless upon a showing of very good cause for delay, when further extension may be granted by the secretary of the Interior. The filing of a segregation under this act shall carry with It all rights of way necessary to th, project, provided such rights of way have been properly set out on the mnp, and that the priorities Mich rights of way shall take the i date of the filing of the application for i segregation, unless they have been I previously approved. That the act of March in, DUO, pro- vldlng for the temporary withdrawal I of public lands, pending their gallon preliminary to their Inclusion In Carey act lists, be Incorporated In the uhove law.

17. The freaks of win- ter, about which the Chicftgo weather man has been kept taming constantly this season, reached the "peak load" for January the other day when the weather map showed Palm beacn weather up In Calgary, Alberta. There was the same temperature and humidity record for Jacksonville, Fla. and vicinity and for Medicine Hat, which long ago was given a reputation by careless weather writers that nowadays is known to be wrong. The temperature records of January 6 were identical for Calgary and Jacksonville.

"But," said the weather man, "what can you expect In such a winter as this?" Thereupon a dispatch from Moose Jaw was exhibited, stating that as the thermometer was at 60 and no snow in the streets to keep dust down the sprinkling carts were put to work again as In midsummer. The was this: "Moose Jaw, Jan. 6. With thermometer at 60 degrees above zero and absolutely no snow city street sprinklers resumed operations today. Use pf street sprinklers here In January constitutes a record." The usual heglra to Florid was not affected by the eccentricities of the weather map the center of which Is Chicago.
