News Notes of the Oil Fields The Union Oil Company continues to be the heavy developing company in the Piacentia-Richeld district, with thirty wells drilling. The Chapman property shows 5 wells drilling, the largest number of wells of the half dozen or more leases. Chapman No. 5 is 4056 oil sand, No. 10 is 3045 shale and shell, No. 11 is 3025 cemented, No. 12 at 3225 is also standing cemented. No. 19 is a new well drilling at 1200 in conglomerate. Thompson Goodwin No. 3 is rigged up ready to start drilling. McFadden No. 2 is in the oil sand at 3180, also J. W. Newell No. 3 at 3250. Dickson No. 1 struck the gray sand at 3865 and is standing. C. & B. No. 2 is in oil sand at 3200, No. 1 at 4032 is in the sand but is held up with a fishing job. Stern No. 1 in the oil sand at 3420 looks like a good well. Chapman No. 6 one of the biggest wells brought in the Richfield district is falling in producing. The big well came in a month ago at 3300, it is now making a little better than 2900. The famous No. 1 after producing for more than two years is still doing better than 600 bbls. Richfield drilling still attracts attention. The Wonder Co., Ltd., drilling on the Knemer home place set 15-1-2 inch at 685 and drilling 900 feet in a week. As much of the drilling was through the hard congromate, the work merits mention. In one 24 hour run 300 feet of hole was made. The Standard Oil Company is drilling along nicely, watching the formation closely as the drill goes down on the Chayee property at Garden Grove. 1600 feet if hole has been made. The Petroleum Midway will soon be in a position to test out surface formation at Buena Park. At a 100 it in. If the water has been shut off this well should be around 600 barrels. Huntington No. 2 is drilling deeper at 2445. Fowler No. 1 is rigging up and No. 1 set 6 inch at 3181. Pearce No. 1 started drilling ten days ago and shows 2400 feet of hole. Late yesterday drilling to bring in Bolsa Chica No. 1 started, Deepened to 2257 the well has shown considerable gas and some oil. It is understood that a big well is not expected. From indications it will probably run around 300 or 350. Lumber is on the ground for No. 2. On drilling out the cement Blue Shale Oil and Mining Assn. Well No. 1 went on 6 feet and struck a second water sand and more water. As this report was made up the Edens Syndicate No. 1 was bailing to bring in.' Judging from the way the well has been acting nothing over 400 barrels at the most can be expected. The rg fir Edens Ni. 2 is up. Striking oil in quantity at regular intervals of from 40 to 5 feet all the way down the Fidelity Oil Company stopped drilling at 2100 and set pipe at 2045. The property and holdings of the Hupnting Crude Oil Company have been taken over by the McEntyre Brothers of Long Beach. The new owners have contracted with the Orange County Drilling Company to drill the well and the work will commence at once. The Huntington Sure Shot is the latest concern in the field. The new company is putting up a rig along side of the Huntington National on a small city lot. Its a crime to plant derricks as thick as some of the operators are doing at Huntington Beach. The Sure Shot Co. has not room enough to build the rig, the sawing and framing of the lumber being done on the street. At 2450 feet the Miller Syndicate struck some nice brown shale, a for it in.

The Petroleum Midway will soon be in a position to test out surface formation at Buena Park. At a 100 feet the drill is in sand and gravel. The Westminister Oil Company has set a string of 10 inch at 3000 feet. An excellent shale formation at this depth made a good landing place for the pipe. Everything is in excellent condition to go ahead as soon as the cement has set. The Bixby Ranch Syndicate is not ready to abandon its test well. The running into some reddish brown shale at 4025 feet lent a little encouragement, pipe was set at 4100, and the drilling will continue. At Chino No. 1 the National Exploration failed to get a water shut o at 1800 feet and will do some more work before going ahead. At Olinda No. 1 the drilling is going nicely. At 2500 the formation is a sandy brown shale. Drilling on the National Security Company's property is now at 2050 feet, the brown shale being a god indication of something good ahead. On the arrival of casing the New York California will resume operations at well No. 1 now at 500 feet. Negotiations are pending for the starting of a second well. Drilling on the Orange County Petroleum's Orange County Park well is at 1550 feet, the formation blue shale; The Amalgamated Oil Company has Huntington 1-A drilled to 3000 DOMESTIC SCIENCE SECTION MEETS, The Domestic Science Section of the Anaheim Ebell will have its regular meeting Wednesday in the Masonic Temple.

NEW CASE TRACTOR AGENCY FOR ANAHEIM M1SSION GARAGE CURTIS V. EDWARDS, Prop. OBSERVATIONS BY CHARLES KUCHEL Isadore Davis of San Francisco, a former resident of this city, visited here a few days, renewing old time acquaintances, after an absence of many years. His father, the late Phillip Davis, was a pioneer resident, coming here in 1868. He was engaged in the mercantile and banking business. After disposing of his interests here he and his family moved to San Francisco to reside. Mr. Davis was surprised at the growth of this city and noting the material contrast compared to a period thirty-five years ago, when the family moved to the northern metropolis, he became reminiscent and recalled many local events that form interesting chapters of the city's early history. His father owned many hundreds of acres of land throughout this valley and some extended to the San Diego county line. Land in those days was the cheapest thing a man could own. Hundreds of acres lying adjoining the Bastanchury ranch, now a famous oil district, were sold for nominal sums, being used for sheep pastures. Mr. Davis tells of a time one day when a man came to his father and offered him $50 an acre for forty acres of land adjoining what is now known as the Holman ranch in the Brookhurst district. The man was eyed critically, as Davis believed him of unsound mind. He told the man he did not care to rob him. But the man insisted and the property was sold to him—Davis' father owned many acres of land where Santa Ana is now located, his holdings extending south for many miles. What is now known as the Spurgeon block in that city, Mr. Davis says, his father bought from a Mexican, giving him a bottle of brandy and two plugs of tobacco for the transfer. At that time there were very few houses between this city and San Diego. The vast tracts of lands were devoted to cattle and as a warning to the world that right must prevail. On land or on sea the American lids are ever ready and willing to follow their flag, be it for a trolic or a fight, and woe be to the enemy who defies them. Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue, and the 91st Division. Bauer Touring George Bauer is touring the eastern states and before returning will sojourn in Florida where he will enjoy the balmy climate of the southern state. Mr. Bauer has pronounced ideas regarding socialistic doctrines and while in the larger eastern cities will study economic conditions, thereby adding to his fund of knowledge concerning agains pertaining to theories which he declares would redound to the public weal were they put into practice. He aspired at one time for the office of state senator upon an independent ticket, but he claims his petition came to naught through some misunderstanding and fell into the hocus-pocus waste basket. At one time he advanced the idea of having people in the several communities getting themselves apart therein; where each sect could follow their whims and fancies regarding religious and political beliefs, thus establishing theoretical utopian institutions, but his visionary plans were never given serious consideration. Mr. Bauer lived in this city for many years, but recently moved to Cucumonga, and is now taking an eastern trip for rest and recreation. Naughty Dog Officer Bert Moody was bitten by a dog a few days ago, the animal showing evidences of having the rabies. He is now receiving pasteure treatment, it requiring twenty-one days in which to ing city, are a panacea for the many ills that beset mankind, and would like to see public affairs carried along upon a more democratic plan. "Chile" says the Elks will soon establish a lodge in Ontario and that the local herd will go over in droves to help things along. A big time is anticipated for the official goat is being put in trim for the occasion. Touring East Chas. A. Boege and family will leave in a few days for an extended eastern trip. They will visit with relatives in Cleveland, and will go to New York and Washington. The homeward trip will be by way of Yellowstone Park. Mr. Boege is assistant cashier of the First National bank and has held the responsible position of city treasurer for many years. He owns a fine forty acre orange orchard, besides other realty and is a shrewd financier. His many friends wish him and his family a pleasant and a safe return home. Excitement Prevails People in Garden Grove are taking keen interest in the striking of gas pockets in a well being bored for oil in their locality. Indications point to something good in the way of oil development there. It is said a group of Los Angeles capitalists are seeking leases in that section, and a new field no doubt will soon be opened up. A number of orange growers are planting tomatoes between the rows of trees. Those who watch the markets say tomatoes will bring about $300 per acre. Besides this added revenue the vines serve as a cover crop. AUTO FREIGHT ASKED FOR THIS TERRITORY W. T. Harris has asked of the Railroad Commission permission to con- The man insisted and the property was sold to him—Davis father owned many acres of land where Santa Ana is now located, his holdings extending south for many miles. What is now known as the Spurgeon block in that city, Mr. Davis says, his father bought from a Mexican, giving him a bottle of brandy and two plugs of tobacco for the transfer. At that time there were very few houses between this city and San Diego. The vast tracts of lands were devoted to cattle and sheep raising. A well fed steer would sell for a few dollars; while a sheep would bring fifty cents if the market was good. Mr. Davis had difficulty in finding his bearings when he arrived here, as all the old land marks are gone, and he marveled at the thriving city, and hipes ti see Anaheim continue to grow. Our Brave Lads Pictures of the famous 91st division in action in France and Belgium were shown here recently and were of great interest to the people. The American soldiers are the best in the world and their entrance into the great war put a quietus to autocratic rule planned by the arch conspirator who desired to rule the world. The sending of the American army overseas forestalled a crisis that threatened all mankind, and the brave lads of the 91st division share the honors with their fearless comrades who fought the despised boche to a stand-still and subdued him. There is no doubt in the mind of the Hun that the American doughboy knows how to fight when duty calls. The achievements of Uncle Sam's army, while the almost exhausted allied forces were fighting the enemy with their backs to the wall, will ever form an indelible page of modern history. Their military success for a righteous cause will stand for all time, and serves to act Naughty Dog Officer Bert Moody was bitten by a dog a few days ago, the animal showing evidences of having rabies. He is now receiving pasteur treatment, it requiring twenty-one days in which to successfully counteract the possible effects of canine madness. The serum is received daily from the state university, enough for one treatment only being consigned to the physician who administers the antidote. The dog was killed. "Chile" Fischer of Ontario, formerly a resident of this city, was in town a few days ago visiting relatives and friends. After leaving here a few years ago Mr. Fischer and family resided at Chino, but later removed to their present home in Ontario. "Chile" does not incline to the belief that the blue laws, as adopted by a neighbor- AUTO FREIGHT ASKED FOR THIS TERRITORY W. T. Harris has asked of the Railroad Commission permission to conduct an auto truck freight business in San Pedro, Wilmington, and Long Beach and Seal Bach, Westminster, Huntington Beach, Santa Ana, Orange and Anaheim. The petitioner says the recent oil development in the Huntington Beach field calls for the service and that he has the support of the Long Beach Board of Trade. The district is now served by the Southern Pacific Company and the Pacific Electric Company. There's another fine thing about heaven. You can't get much of a jazz effect with golden harps. The Barton Bedtime Stories By JOHN BARTON (Copyright, 1921, by The Associated Newspapers) WHAT THE VISITING KILLDEER HEARD THUNDERPAWS wasn't the first one to bring news of Malty Kitten's doings to Dr. Muskrat's Pond. Killdeer could take long day-time flights while he waited for his eggs to Hatch. You see, he didn't have to guard his mate. The Quail's Thicket was peaceful now Miner Mole was gone. If a robber mouse so much as showed a whisker the hens would begin to call for help and that would send him skittering. So Killdeer circled up above the tree of the Deep Woods and shot over to the Big Marsh. He guessed he could make those fellows over there pretty envious of him. He was almost afraid they wouldn't believe him. But they did. Because the first bird he met was his Killdeer cousin who lived by the milkweed stalk in the grassy field. He was mighty busy, just then, because two of his eggs were out, and he had two impish little fluff-balls "on his claws", while his mate sat on the other eggs. They were thinner than banty chickens, with only three toes on their stilty little legs—but those there were great big ones—and snub-nosed little beaks that hadn't had time to grow out like their father's nice pigeon-shaped one. There’s nothing,” said he when yellow eyes you've ever seen. Big as an owl’s—“But a whole lot brighter,” put in his mate. “There’s no owl-blink about them. They found my nest—and you see how well it's hidden. But they never touched my eggs—the nice things.” "That was Malty Kitten," squawk- But they did. Because the first bird he met was his Killdeer cousin who lived by the milkweed stalk in the grassy field. He was mighty busy, just then, because two of his eggs were out, and he had two imminent little fluff-balls "on his claws" while his mate sat on the other eggs. They were thinner than banty chickens, with only three toes on their stilty little legs—but those there were great big ones—and snub-nosed little beaks that hadn't had time to grow out like their father's nice pigeon-shaped one. They were perfectly determined to scuttle right down to the dangerous water of the Big Marsh and paddle their little feet in. But he finally got them filled up with their first full meal and cuddled down under their mother with only their sleepy little heads peeked out in the sun. So at last he had a moment to preen his wings and hear Killdeer brag about the folks at his wonderful pond. "That's nothing!" said he when Killdeer stopped to see how sprised he'd be. "We've got a skunk here who can make the King of the Scales do his hunting for him." He told all about how, he carried the mouse's tail and the queer message, and what happened after that, and maybe Killdeer wasn't the s-prised one! "And he's got the funniest little furry-foot with him—gray, with the biggest "There’s nothing," said he, when Killdeer stopped to see how surprised he’d be. Ed Killdeer triumphantly. "He killed the mole who stole mine. And that's Thunderpaws the Skunk with him. They come from our pond that I've been telling you about. Where are they? I want a cheep with them." "Over at the cabin. The man’s there, but he's nice. He doesn’t use a gun." "Neither do ours." Nobody was going to beat Killdeer at bragging. "They’re small, but their dog’s a tremenius big one and—" But he didn't get to finish telling about Tommy Peele and Louie Thomson and Watch the Dog, because the hen-killdeer whispered, "Hush! Another Egg is hatching!" Foley’s Friendly Fancies From the Pasadena Post THISTLES AND FLOWERS Cast aside with the day all the day’s wearing sorrows, Thou may’t bear all its pleasures away, But the grief of today thou shalt not bear tomorrow, For it was of yesterday. Cast aside with the day all its heart-ache and sadness, Fling out from thy bosom the stone, Thou may’t store in thy soul an eternity’s gladness, Thou may’t bear one day’s sorrow alone. For thou art a child, who thro’ the fleet hours, Pucks flowers and thistles each day, Be wise as the child—thou may’t press all the flowers, But cast the harsh thistles away.
