Thursday, March 14 May Pipe Natural Gas Fullerton Chamber of Commerce Appoints Committee to Investigate The Petroleum oil company is now crowding the record in the field for fast work. In three weeks it has got down to a depth of 1200 feet. The men have had the advantage, however, of escaping the hard ground the Amalgamated and other companies have had to contend with in their wells at a depth of 700 feet. The hole is said to be satisfactory. This company is the south outpost of the field, and the findings there from now on will be watched with a deal of interest by oil men. The fact that there is such a great quantity of gas going to waste in the Brea canyon oil fields is arising much interest in the nearby cities, which are at present paying a high price for gas used. The Fullerton chamber of commerce has taken steps toward securing gas from these oil wells. The matter of piping the natural gas to that city from Brea canyon has been taken up and it was figured that this may be delivered in Fullerton at a cost of only 20 cents. The present rate is $1.25. The movement will be boosted and committees have been appointed to secure more information along this line. The Preferred oil company, which has just started in the field, is already at work on its ground. Materials for the first rig are on the sites, and before many days No. 1 of the Preferred will be going ahead at a rapid rate. This company is an organization with plenty of capital and experience behind it. It is understood that No. 1 will be put in to test the territory and get results as soon as possible. The Olinda oil company's well No. 7 after several months drilling, is about to be put on the pump. The production of this well is expected to be long and satisfactory. The company's holdings are situated on the southern edge of the Olinda field. No. 7 was put down in a first-class manner, and has been finished in same style, being one of the best from a financial standpoint in the field. No. 9 of the same company, just east of No. 7, is going down nicely and is at present better than 500 feet in depth. All indications are that it promises to be an excellent producer. At the Fischer oil company property adjoining the Standard, work is continuing with better luck.

Accompanying the foregoing is a letter from Mr. Cuttle stating in part that "when advertising space is required during the campaign it will be arranged for by my committee in your locality." In other words Mr. Cuttle proposes to tear off a chunk of a column or so of newspaper boost free of any other cost to himself except the implied promise that his committee may "arrange for further advertising." That's a good scheme, too, from the newspaper point of view. We note that the matter sent out is "released for publication in evening papers of Mar. 2d and morning papers of March 3d." Too bad, indeed, if premature publication should be made of the fact that Mr. Cuttle is a candidate for congress. Yes, too blamed bad. Months ago four or five people here settled, or think they settled, this whole thing of the congressional nomination so far as Santa Ana is concerned. They dispensed with the primary election and handed Mr. Cuttle the nomination. The implied fear of premature publication of Mr., Cuttle's candidacy seems rather a joke in view of what was done here many months ago in his political interests and in view of his personal visits to Imperial and San Bernardino counties and elsewhere in the furtherance of his candidacy. His "release" (on March 2d for evening papers, and the following morning for morning papers) of the story that he is a candidate, is rich, considering the facts. Now, in all seriousness, Mr. Cuttle, your work is coarse. It is too much like that of Bro. Roosevelt, who, with his political boosters, for two years has been industriously working up public sentiment in favor of his nomination. He has used every possible means, good, bad and indifferent, and now hopes, as a result of his labors, to appear in the political limelight as the man for whose nomination there is an over-in the government service at the grand canyon, and so well did he perform the labors allotted him that advancement came rapidly, until he was soon given entire charge of this modern wonder of the world. While in charge of the canyon he entertained many celebrities, and being a royal host made many friends of people visiting the canyon from all parts of the world. Recently he decided to return to San Jose, where his family own valuable property, and he wired his resignation to the war department. A reply came back, "Resignation not accepted. Given year's furlough." Capt. Fenton arrived in Los Angeles on Thursday last, and could not resist the temptation of running down to Anaheim to meet former associates. He contemplates taking up farming in Santa Clara county, unless the call of the w'1 beckons too strongly in the direction of the canyon. He has forsaken the stick and rule, and has not worked at the case for a dozen years. May the fates deal kindly with this prince of good fellows, and luck attend him. It's like looking down into the abyssm of years to gaze upon his face again. THREATENED INVASION Sheriff Ruddock Thinks I.W.Ws. will Make Trouble Sheriff Ruddock believes that the I.W.W. is planning an invasion of Santa Ana in order to express sympathy for the thirty San Diego prisoners who are in the county jail because the San Diego jail was too full to hold all of those arrested in enforcement of the so-called anti-free-speech ordinance. Letters written by the prisoners have urged I.W.W. leaders to turn their forces that way. Ruddock's suspicions were further aroused when Jack White, a San Diego agitator, appeared and addressed a street gathering. White is out on ball from San Diego. White has enlisted the sympathy of socialists, who are persuaded that the men in jail are martyrs in a great war for free speech.

Patrick Fenton, for ten years past in charge of the grand canyon of the Colorado for the United States government, was in town on Friday for a brief visit with old-time friends. Capt. Fenton is a former well-known San Francisco newspaper man, having been engaged on various responsible capacities by leading papers of the northern metropolis. In 1902 while sojourning at Flagstaff, he was offered a position Ruddock's suspicions were further aroused when Jack White, a San Diego agitator, appeared and addressed a street gathering. White is out on ball from San Diego. White has enlisted the sympathy of socialists, who are persuaded that the men in jail are martyrs in a great war for free speech. That the socialists had taken an interest in the matter was shown when five women visited the county jail on a permit issue by the sheriff's office with the supposition that the women desired to make the visit out of curiosity or for the study of sociological conditions or for something of that sort. The permit to the women was made out to E. Umathum, M. E. Taylor, Mrs. E. W. Hardy, Irene Smith, and O. L. Edgerton. Through the bars some of the visitors shook hands with the prisoners, and told them that they had faith in their fight. A. E. Hawley, a leader among the socialists, declared that so far as he can learn no invasion is planned. "The meeting on the street addressed by Jack White, and a mass meeting to be held next Sunday are for the purpose of letting the people of Santa Ana know the true conditions at San Diego," said Hawley. "People think these prisoners are hoboes. Some of them have quit jobs paying $3 and $4 a day that they may become martyrs in the cause. We do not want an invasion of Santa Ana. I, for one, am anxious that the free-speech fight be fought out at San Diego." White was not allowed to visit all of the prisoners. He was given an interview with a committee of three in the jail office, and when he left he gave Jailer Jernigan $10 to be used for tobacco for the prisoners.

Sherman approached Mr. Musselman in a friendly way, calling him by name and asking the result of a suit in which he was recently interested, asked if he could hire Musselman's automobile for a few hours. It was then about 11 and he said he would be back at 3 o'clock. A bargain was struck and with Musselman's chauffeur, Tom Stauts, in charge of the machine started for this city. Here he visited the office of the gas company and then instructed the driver to go to Fullerton. At the latter place he went into the hotel and returning told the driver he wanted to go to Whittier. There was but little gasoline in the tank, and he himself went to a garage and got sixteen gallons and had it charged to the Edison Co. Before leaving the city he went to the First National bank and cashed a check for $25. At Whittier he stopped at the office of the Edison company, went to the office of the Home telephone company, and then headed back to Fullerton, where he and the chauffeur had lunch. While at lunch he said he wanted to get back to Anaheim before the banks closed, and the meal was disposed of in haste. When he reached this city the banks had closed, but he stopped long enough to go into a store for the purpose of buying a rain coat. He then came out without it. Whether he ditch D. A 30-inch pipe will be laid from the reservoir nearly due east to empty into ditch B not far south of the site of the old Olive schoolhouse—St. James townsite. The lift from the reservoir to the ditch at this point is from 42 to 45 feet according to the level of the water in the ditch. The pipe for this line is being made of reinforced concrete and is nearly all made ready for laying. 1 to 11 Acres FOR SALE! Los Angeles and South Streets.

DEVELOPING WATER Extensive Operations at Olive By Santa Ana Company Through the kindness of D. C. Drake a writer in the Orange Post was permitted to get a glimpse of the water development that is being worked out on the Field ranch near the Olive bridge by the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company. The ranch contains 21 acres. The general plan is to have two pumping stations, one at the northwest corner of the ranch, which for our own convenience we will call No. 1, and the other near the southeast corner, which we will call No. 2. There has been a reservoir constructed at station No. 2 to receive the water from both stations. A pipe has been laid from station No. 1 so the reservoir and another is being laid from the same point to ditch D. There will also be a pipe line laid from the reservoir to ditch B. The several parts of this general plan are more particularly described as follows: ditch D. A 30-inch pipe will be laid from the reservoir nearly due east to empty into ditch B not far south of the site of the old Olive schoolhouse—St. James townsite. The lift from the reservoir to the ditch at this point is from 42 to 45 feet according to the level of the water in the ditch. The pipe for this line is being made of reinforced concrete and is nearly all made ready for laying. Its carrying capacity under ordinary pressure is 600 inches. In lifting the water to the required height and in resisting the throb of the pump this pipe line will be subject to a great strain. It would strengthen it materially to jacket it in the trench, heavily at the lower-end and taper off toward the upper end. Even then it may not stand the strain. It is believed from all indications that, when this development work is completed and in successful operation, it will add not less than 500 inches to the water supply of the company. It is plain to be seen that the expense of furnishing this water to the irrigators, even after the first outlay will be a great advance over the cost of gravity water; but then it will be worth all it cost, and the irrigators must have it even if it does come high. There is, however, a great deal of work yet to be done before this additional water supply can be counted on and such work cannot be hurried very much without slighting something. Just think, the well driller has been ten days in drilling 75 ft. and there are yet several hundred feet to be drilled in the various wells. Then, too, it will take considerable time to lay over 6000 feet of 30 inch pipe—particularly if it is jacketed—and such a pipe line ought to be well seasoned in the ground before it is subjected to a strain. Installing of the pumps, motors, etc., will consume more or less time. NUMBER OF VOTERS County Clerk Making Estimate for Secretary of State County Clerk Williams has received a letter from Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan asking him to estimate the number of republicans, democrats and socialists that will vote at the presidential primaries on May 14. The letter states that the primaries will be held to select delegates to the national conventions of the three parties. The prohibition is the popularity of our lime, cement plaster, brick, sand and other materials with experienced builders. They buy from us because they know that they are sure of a square deal and the best materials. You can do no better than to follow their example. They wouldn't buy here unless it was to their advantage to do so. 1, and the other near the southeast corner, which we will call No. 2. There has been a reservoir constructed at station No. 2 to receive the water from both stations. A pipe has been laid from station No. 1 so the reservoir and another is being laid from the same point to ditch D. There will also be a pipe line laid from the reservoir to ditch B. The several parts of this general plan are more particularly described as follows: There will be a pit with two wells at each pumping station. Comparatively shallow wells were drilled at station No. 1 several months ago from which 230 inches of water was pumped. About the same time a good well was put down over 500 ft. at station 2. This well has not been tested with a pump; but it will undoubtedly yield a airge supply of water. The well driller is now at work deepening the wells at station No. 1. When he has completed wells at No. 1 he will deepen the pit and drill another at No. 2. The reservoir is 50 feet square on the bottom and 53 feet on the top and 6 1-2 feet deep, and is supplied with the necessary inlets, overflow pipe, etc. It is substantially built of cement concrete with walls six inches thick. Its capacity is 128,961 gallons, which shows that it is simply designed to collect the water from both pumping stations in one receptacle to pump from and is not intended for a storage reservoir. A 24-inch cement concrete pipe has been laid from station No. 1 to the reservoir 1200 feet distant. This pipe will carry the water from station No. 1 to the reservoir by gravity, aided perhaps by a stand pipe of moderate height to receive the water from the pump. Another 24 inch pipe is being laid from the same station east along the Olive road to County Clerk Making Estimate for Secretary of State County Clerk Williams has received a letter from Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan asking him to estimate the number of republicans, democrats and socialists that will vote at the presidential primaries on May 14. The letter states that the primaries will be held to select delegates to the national conventions of the three parties. The prohibition party is not mentioned in the certificate, it having failed to cast a sufficient number of votes at the last election to appear at the primaries. The republicans are to elect twenty-six delegates, the democrats twenty-six and the socialists eighteen. Williams will go over the great register and make his estimates. The secretary of state informs the county clerk that an estimate of the registration in each party is necessary in order that office may send to the county clerk the proper quantity of ballot paper and the proper number of biographical sketches.The law requires that there shall be sent to each voter a sketch of the life of each candidate of his party preference. This printed matter is to be furnished by the secretary of state and will be mailed out by the county clerk with the sample ballot.
