Oil Struck on Its Santa Barbara, California, Holding. The Eastern Consolidated 0il Co. has again been brought prominently before the public by the discovery of oil on its immense holdings in Santa Rarbara, California. This company has a twenty-year lease of 19,000 acres on the Santa Barbara coast. A test well is being put down and already oil in rich abundance has been struck. The well will be carried down several hundred feet deeper in the hope of striking the second 'pay streak," and thus getting a line on the available oil resources of this tract at once. It is expected that a rush of oil men will immediately take place to this locality now that the news has been made public. Already -the value of the Bastern Consolidated Oil com- pany's holdings have increased sever- al hundred thousand dollars in value. The Hon. Ernest Cady, the president of the' company, is on the ground looking out for the interests of the sharcholders. This company is a marked instance of having the right kind of officials and directors that really direct. The management of the company is not leit in the hands of promoters, but entrusted to the keenest finance in the states who take active interest in the business. President Cady is an ex- licutenant-governor of the state of Connecticut. While he is in California, Bennett. the treasurer of the company. ana Judge Charles J. Noves, of Boston, one of the direct ors, are in Ohie, where the company has 100 producing oil wells. Probably the richest holding of the Eastern Consolidated Oil company the ten acres in the heart of the Kern River district in California. This tract the company owns in fee simple. It is surroundea by richly producing oil wells. This ten Acres alone will be ahle to pay the dividends on the capi- tal invested.

Chicago Int@r-Occan. } The charter of five Canadian boats to carry grain to Montreal seems to lend color of. certainty to the theory of the trade that consigerable grain will be diverted from thesBuffalo route to Canatlian poits this season. ' It is pointed out that the distance to Eur- ope by wav of Montreal is much shorter than via Buffalo and the rail route to-the seaboard, hence: there is a saving, which, if taken advantage of and the necessary facilities for carry- ing it out providea, will detract much orain from the American system of transportation. The former difficulty of establishing a permanent line of vessels to the Ca- naoian city has been the prohibitive cargo-insurance rates on the St. Law- rence river. lts dangers have nwrovea to be no greater than those of navi- gating' the grtat lakes. Another draw- back lies in the fact that boats of the larger type cannot operate on the river because of shallow depth, and again their length cannot be increased on account of the canals through which they must pass, and this very likely blockea previous plans to form a fixea route. The Canadian boats just placed will load wheat and the rate is reported at four 'and a half cents through to Montreal, which, on a basis of one and a half cents for wheat, Chicago to Bufialo; compares with a six-cent rate on. wheat via the American lake and rail route to the sea-board. The take: were 'the Myles, Bannockburn, Melrose. Kingston, and Bothnia. It is understood that some of them will transfer their grain to the Grand Trunk railway at Kingston, but two or three will go on through to Mon- treal without breaking bulk. The Grand Trunk railway, which parallels the St. Lawrence river: from that point <0 Montreal, is said to be mak, ing special low rates on grain shipy via this route just as other rail lines have from Georgian Bay to other Ca- nadian seaboard points. A Happy Selection. Toronto Globe. The Peterson line of boats will be welcome on the lakes. They will help to save us from the reproach of try- ing to keep the . carrying trade to ourselves and not having the bottoms to do it. The choice of Capt. Don- nellv., Kingston, for, the management of the line, is a happy one. Marine Notes.

Brockville Times. The death is reported from the Pur- vis sottlement near Lyn, of George F. Purvis, a representative farmer of this se tion. Mr. Purvis was over three score vears and ten, all of which we e spent in the locality where he lived and died. The deceased was en- gaged almost exclusively in farmine, though he devoted much time .to the manufacture of cheese, being 'one of the first in the Brockville district to undertake this. rapidly growing in- dustry. By careful saving he had amassed considerable money and property and = in his_declining years reaped the reward of his labors. Mr. Purvis was well and favorably known te the farming community for over hali a century and his straightfor- ward, honest dealing commanded the respe t of everybody. He married Miss Bowser of the tawnship of Bastard. She survives, also the following child Mrs. -(Rev.) Hazelwood, Dr. Purvis, Athens, and two daughters and one son at home. The deceased wae a strong liberal in politics. Choristers On Strike. Amsterdam, Sept. 4.--The choristers of the Royal Netherlalids Opera house have pone on strike. The management insisted upon' their attending Sunday reearsals, which brought ahodt the trouble. The strike culminated in, a riot last evening. The socialist lead- ers and relatives of the strikers oceu- pied the approaches to the theatre, and pre ented the performance of one of = Ofienbach's opéras. Subsequently, new choristers had to be employed. They were escorted to their homes bv policemen. A mob stoned the police, who charged the rioters. - ee Change Not Appreciated.
