The above LOCAL EVENTS Frank Borth drives to Huntington Beach with a four-horse load of oil for the Standard company every few days, and leaves town at 4.30, which is going some. He carries 800 gallons of oil, weighing 9000 pounds, and the trip consumes five hours. While unloading his horses are fed, and he begins the return trip shortly before noon, arriving here at dark. He also makes trips to Orange, Fullerton, Buena Park, Olive and other points, and while these trips are not so long as the Huntington Beach journey, he manages to keep busy and keep out of mischief. Frank is a good boy. What will you give your wife for a Christmas present? How about a Sewing Machine?
