OIL OUTPUT INCREASING Five Million Barrels for the County Wells This Year Within eighteen months Orange county has come to the fore as a producer of petroleum. Its wells are located along the hills on the edge of the La Habra valley and lie about six miles from this city. Discovered many years ago this district has been a valuable producer, and its wells have paid good substantial dividends for years. The last year and a half has witnessed a great increase in output which this year will be close to 5,000,000 barrels, something more than it was in 1909. From Fullerton fields the Santa Fe railroad gets a good part of the fuel used on its Southern California lines and in the shops at San Bernardino. E. L. Doheny was an early operator there. He developed an excellent property for the Petroleum Development company, which he founded, contracted to supply the Santa Fe locomotives and later sold his holdings, both there and in Kern river, to the railroad company, which today has about sixty wells on the pump at the Olinda fields and obtains monthly productions of 90,000 barrels. The company now plans to lay a pipe line in the near future from its wells to San Bernardino to convey oil to the shops, a distance of about 40 miles. Some of the Santa Fe's oil is too light for fuel, and this goes to Los Angeles refineries in exchange for a more suitable fuel. The Olinda district has a variety of wells. has about sixty wells on the pump at the Olinda fields and obtains monthly productions of 90,000 barrels. The company now plans to lay a pipe line in the near future from its wells to San Bernardino to convey oil to the shops, a distance of about 40 miles. Some of the Santa Fe's oil is too light for fuel, and this goes to Los Angeles refineries in exchange for a more suitable fuel. The Olinda district has a variety of oils, some testing as high as 27 and 28, like that which the Santa Fe exchanges for heavy oil, while some tests as low as 14 or 13. There is furthermore, a wide variation in its formations. Wells as close as they are usually placed in a crowded field will sometimes be entirely different in their logs; one will get oil at 1500 feet, while the other may have to go 3000; one will get heavy oil the other light. By some the field is divided into two sections, the Olinda and the Brea Canyon sections. The two, however, are running together by development of the intervening ground, now part of the Union's Stearns lease. Both sections are prolific, both vary about as widely in details of formation and both are being developed largely by the same people. The town of Olinda is distinctly an oil town. Its inhabitants are either employed in the field or cater to the wants of those who are so engaged. It has about 1600 inhabitants. A short distance from and in sight of the Brea canyon wells, but across the line in Los Angeles county, are wells of the Puente Oil company, geologically supposed to be an entirely separate field. Its oil is among the highest grade found in California, testing as high as 35 gravity. The Puente is the only company operating there; it gets its product at very shallow depths—800 to 1200 feet—and only within the last few months has it attempted to go further. Two deep test holes have been sunk below 2000 feet and have opened another rich sand of petroleum similar to that found above, giving every promise of being even more prolific. About 300 feet has been uncovered. The oil strike's trend there appears to extend toward the San Bernardino line through the Puente hills in the direction of Chino. The Puente company owns or has under lease several thousand acres in these hills, which it has held for the future without development. It devotes all its attention to its refinery. JUDGE SLOSS FOR THE SUPREME BENCH Some one has said that the supreme court is the bulwark of our liberties; at any rate, we know that much depends upon the personal character of our judges as well as upon their knowledge of law and clearness of vision. It is not every judge who possesses a judicial mind, and without such a mind justice cannot prevail. Sometimes, however, a just judge, in rendering a decision in an intricate case, suffers from the unjust criticism of those who, having no knowledge of law, and blinded by their own prejudices, are not competent to criticise. Yet, the people as a whole, are generally quick to see where an injustice has been practiced, and are specially alert in determining the character of a judge by his environment and association. The best test of a candidate for a judicial position is his record, provided he has had an opportunity to make one. These remarks are simply preliminary to the consideration of the claims of Judge M. C. Sloss for reelection to the supreme bench, and as a matter of enlightenment, we submit to our readers these few facts which favor Judge Sloss: First—He does not seek the office for the salary therefor. He loves work for work's sake, and is in public life for the love of it and the opportunity afforded to earn the honor of the community and the respect of his fellowmen. This may seem strange to the pessimist, but it is a fact nevertheless. That Judge Sloss was endorsed by the Lincoln-Roosevelt league after a careful consideration of his record, speaks volumes for his candidacy, for while the league, like all human organizations, is only human, yet in the minds of a large number of voters, the league represents the best thought of a progressive and patriotic body of men, not all to be found in the republican party. These men prior to the primaries, selected Judge Sloss for their candidate because they knew that he was in sympathy with those judicial and other reforms looking to the betterment of the common people, and also because his de- ed another rich sand of petroleum similar to that found above, giving every promise of being even more prolific. About 300 feet has been uncovered. The oil strike's trend there appears to extend toward the San Bernardino line through the Puente hills in the direction of Chino. The Puente company owns or has under lease several thousand acres in these hills, which it has held for the future without development. It devotes all its attention to its refinery at Chino, where it produces the same manufactured goods as the Standard but does not give any attention to asphalt, which is usually the chief product of the independent refineries in California. Its field production is an incident of its business, not the main part, as with most businesses. It consumes all of its own oil.

According to Mr. Kelsey, Indian agent, for the past year the sales of land have averaged about 10,000 acres a month. October, however, eclipsed all former sales. Not only has there been 75,000 acres listed for sale but up to the present time the bidding has been greater than heretofore. "Most of the land is being sold to northern and eastern farmers, who either went there to make their home or send their sons," said Mr. Kelsey. Land ranges from $1 to $25 an acre. The $1 land is very rough, suitable only for grazing. Since the first of the year, according to figures given by the Indian agent, 27,772.16 acres have been sold, for a total consideration of $316,160.73. For years before congress removed the restrictions on Indian lands the farmers were the prey of land grafters. In fact, no land could be sold except freedmen allotments, that is, land left to negroes who were slaves of Indians. Land grafters, taking the chance, bought deeds from Indians, then sold them to farmers, who when they sought to take possession, would find that the deed was worthless.

Judge Sloss comes before the people under the most favorable auspices. His record as a just judge has been established, his friends are the friends of good government, and for good government, his election is demanded. Under the impetus of his large primary vote, he should be elected by an overwhelming majority in November.

UNCLE SAM SELLS LAND Indian Holdings in Oklahoma Purchased by Northerners Uncle Sam is in the farm land business in Oklahoma and every month sells from 8000 to 10,000 acres of restricted land owned by living Indians. The last sale began October 10 and ended on October 14. Seventy-five thousand acres were listed. The land lies in different parts of eastern Oklahoma (formerly Indian territory) from the Kansas line on the north to Red River on the south. When an Indian wants to sell land he makes an application to the Indian agent. Two appraisers are then sent out to ascertain the value of the land. The land is then advertised for Last Year’s Graduates Of the San Bernardino Business College ARE Earning Salaries of $72 a Month. WHEN OUR CEMENT GOES UP the building doesn’t come down in a hurry.
