i The new year was given a noisy welcome last night at the midnight hour. Five minutes before the death of the odd year the pandemonium commenced. The whistles in the oil fields were unloosened and in town the discharge of revolvers and the explosion of firecrackers made a din that was terrific for a while. A great many people were on the streets at the midnight hour, and they made the welkin ring with yells. A great many watch parties were held throughout the residence district, and an enjoyable evening was spent in speeding the parting year and welcoming the new one.

Ten minutes after 12 the town resumed its wonted quiet, and those who stayed down town to assist in welcoming the new year wended their way homeward, feeling that they had done their duty and exhibited the proper spirit of the season. Celebrated Her Birthday. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. S.

Smith was aglow- with music aud games ilast night, the occasion being a watch-party to celebrate the 15th brithday of their daughter Dorrit. About twenty of her classmates in the high school graced the occasion with their presence and a right merry time was had. As the old year bade the world adieu and Nineteen Naught Five came on the seene, the young people were busy with refreshments. IDS ANGELES, December 31. Oil operators are discussing the advisability of submitting to the new legislature the draft of a proposed law, making pipe lines common carriers.

It is insisted in existing conditions that the large companies, such as the Standard Oil and the Associated, have the -smaller producers at their mercy, and the proposed new statute is intended to break a monopoly. In the event the bill that is being drafted is submitted, the issue is certain to provoke one of the heated contests of the coming legislative session. Oil Stock in Demand. SAN FliAN CISCO, December 31. The market for dividend-paying oil shares has shown more activity of late.

The steady monthly payments by the leading companies seems to have attracted the attention of the investing public to this class of security. The organization of a new distributing company, the Independent Producers Agency. of Kern county, has also served to build up confidence, giving the assurance of a better price for the product than might be expected with one big buyer in the field, powerful enough to choke off all competition. It is said that the new association can now depend upon a production of 415,000 barrels per month. The Imperial Oil Company has just declared a monthly dividend of 20 cents per share, and the Thirty-Three Oil Company one of 10 cents per share, both payable on January 6th.

To Keep Off Locators. City Attorney H. T. Miller, who recently returned from Coalinga, where he has been looking after some oil interests, says that the owners of various holdings in that section are watching the locators very carefully, now that the first of the year has arrived to guard against SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1905.

Since J. W. P. Laird was appointed district attorney of Kern eoimty, forty criminal eases have been filed, and out of that number convietions were obtained in twenty-two, nine axe pending, seven were dismissed, a verdict of not guilty was found in only one and there has been only one-case where the juiy failed to agree on a verdict. That is a record Mr.

Laird is pleased with. The Cunningham, Hulse and Castro eases were pending when he assumed the duties of his office. The jury disagreed in the Cunningham ease. Hulse was convicted on the second trial and the third trial of the Castro ease is yet to occur. The following are the convictions that have been obtained: Bert Miller, burglary, six years; Charles IL LeMar, murder, 10 years; Carl Johnson, 4 years, and Perry Hale, 10 years, assault with intent to commit robbery; Jesus Maria Lugo, burglary, 3 years; William Dugan, grand larceny, 5 yeais; J.

During the past year 308 civil actions have been filed ip the superior court, or one for every judicial day, lacking five. Of the total number of civil' cases, sixty-three were actions commenced to secure a severance of the marital bonds. While the number of divorce suits is large, the marriage licenses issued during the past year aggregates 187, so Cupid has the best of the argument. During the past year seventy-two probate proceedings were initiated in the superior court. District Attorney Laird, in a conversation with a representative of the Echo, said that more court business was done in Kern county than any other county in the state of equal population.
