WATER SUPPLY OF LA HABRA GROWS WOODEN PIPE LINE BEING BUILT TO TAKE PLACE OF OLD WOODEN STRUCTURE LINE CROSSES GULLIES, CLIMBS HILLS, AND IS CONSTRUCTED ACROSS STREAMS Following the policy of replacing the old pipe lines and keeping all lines of the company in the best condition possible, the California Domestic Water Company, of which R. W. George is president, is now planning to celebrate the completion of a new stretch of 24-inch wooden stave pipe that is now constructed from plant No. 3 westward to a distance of 5,000 feet. The new line runs parallel with a former steel line and being of a greater size will materially increase the water supply of the entire La Habra Valley. Work has been progressing rapidly on the job for the past two months and the nearly completed line as it winds across the small gullies and canyons resembles a huge snake writhing in graceful curves. The new line constitutes one of the main improvements of the valley and is a task of no mean ability. Several problems have been solved by Turner and Seppi, the cement contractors and the Pacific Tank and Pipe Company of lest it become rough and mallets with rubber heads are used to even the surface. The bands are tightened and then cinched by the men who put the finishing touches on the job. Redwood is being used in the construction and the lumber is placed into the ground without any preparation except planing, but the steel bands are covered with a coat of tar to prevent rusting. The wood if kept moist with water will not rot and will outlive a steel line by several years. If the inside surface is smoother and put into good condition a wood line will carry considerable more water than a steel line of similar size as friction is diminished by the smoothness of the wood and the absence of sections that retard the flow of water. The steel line that is now being replaced has been in operation for eight years and the new line is expected to endure for at least twice that length of time. The rust of the steel pipes often causes a peculiar taste in the water and this will be avoided with the installation of the wood line. In addition the new material has several advantages over the steel lines, as it is easier to handle and can be put together in a shorter period of time. SUBSCRIPTION FOR BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION Numerous subscriptions have been secured for the protection of the approaches to the Olive bridge and others are in sight.

Ferninst the Beef Tr Work has been progressing rapidly on the job for the past two months and the nearly completed line as it winds across the small gullies and canyons resembles a huge snake writhing in graceful curves. The new line constitutes one of the main improvements of the valley and is a task of no mean ability. Several problems have been solved by Turner and Seppi, the cement contractors and the Pacific Tank and Pipe Company of Los Angeles, who are laying the line, before the work could be commenced. The line crosses gullies, climbs hills, is sent across canyons. Curves of 40 diameters have been made with complete success and the section that is already completed is being tested for pressure. The line, when completed will be tested throughout and the small leaks will be remedied before it is covered over. The pipe is bonded to a 70-foot head pressure and will be tested to the maximum pressure by allowing the water to back up from plant No. 6 and later by pumping. The low part of the line will be affected by the pressure the most and these have received special attention and are re-inforced with extra steel bands. At present the pipe is being laid at a rate of over 300 feet per day. The pipe is first laid on a semi-circle guide and then fitted together with steel bands placed at the sections and a distance of every six or eight inches. Several men are placed inside the miniature tunnel to smooth the inside surface and make the sides of the boards meet in order to lessen the number of leaks. Care is taken not to bruise the inside surface of the wood.

IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Build New Packing House The Villa Park Orchards’ Association, composed of orange growers, has called for bids for building a $15,000 packing-house at Villa Park. The house will be ready for occupancy by March 1. The district has made a reputation this year for frostless, clean fruit, and the association will have an excellent season next year. Far Ahead of Florida “I wouldn’t trade Orange county for the whole South,” was the decision of John Law, who has returned to his family in Santa Ana from a two-months’ visit in Georgia and Florida. “Florida oranges do not compare with California oranges in appearance,” said Mr. Law, “although they are sweeter to the taste. The trees and fruit there are usually covered with scale and the oranges are not colored like our fruit.” 3,000,000 Pounds of Beans Something more than 3,000,000 pounds of lima beans, grown in the vicinity of Huntington Beach, have been shipped this year by the Farmers’ Warehouse Company. This represents about 40,000 sacks. Positive declarations of their intentions made by prominent ranchers in the Huntington Beach section indicate that a larger acreage will be planted to lima beans next season than ever before, in that part of Orange county. A desire to rotate crops, coupled with the lowered price of sugar beets, is said by the ranchers to be the reason for their decision to set out a greater acreage in beans.

Standard Oil Company (CALIFORNIA) LOS ANGELES SAN FRANCISCO Burglar Makes Good Haul A burglar who did his job up differently from anything yet pulled off in Santa Ana by any of his profession, got away with $350 worth of clothing from the Wardrobe Clothing House Friday night. The burglar entered through a ventilator of the skylight. He descended by sliding down a line made up of old harness reins, tied at the top to a letter filing case taken from the Orange County Business College. The man evidently wanted to leave no tell-tale finger-prints behind, for he wrapped the handles of the case with paper. Since he was coming into new wealth the man decided to dress joining lease, the Murphy Oil Company about a week ago, brought in a 1,500-barrel producer. This well offsets one of the older wells on the Emery lease, which are a mile and a half to two miles distant from No. 7, the big gusher. Oil men express the belief that the territory on which the Emery lease is located is the best so far discovered in the state. The oil is very high gravity, and every well which the Standard has brought in, and nearly all which the Murphy has finished have been in the gusher type. Every well on the Emery lease has produced 1,000 barrels a day or more larations of their intentions made by prominent ranchers in the Huntington Beach section indicate that a larger acreage will be planted to lima beans next season than ever before, in that part of Orange county. A desire to rotate crops, coupled with the lowered price of sugar beets, is said by the ranchers to be the reason for their decision to set out a greater acreage in beans. Ferninst the Beef Trust The immense profits accruing to the beef trust promise to be slashed, and ordinary wage earners will be able to feast on meat three times a day, if plans of a dozen members of Pasadena's police department are consumed. Rabbits, of the Belgian variety are the medium through which they hope to puncture present high prices of meats and incidentally to provide rich and poor with plenty to eat at a minimum cost. Twelve members of the department who are now in the rabbit-raising business now own more than 2,000 edible bunnies. According to the policemen fanciers, there has been no trouble in raising the 2,000 rabbits. Much difficulty has been encountered, however, in finding a market for the rapidly-increasing horde. An organization is to be formed, however, which shall have for its object the establishment of a market for dressed rabbits and the dozen Pasadena officers expect to commence their onslaught upon the present high cost of living and the beef trust. Suit Over False Label Several weeks ago the report was given out that a San Francisco firm was shipping northern California tomatoes under an Anaheim and Fullerton label. After the item was printed the matter was brought before the Fullerton chamber of commerce and a committee appointed to confer with the United States district attorney at Los Angeles, with a view of having a suit filed against the northern shipper on the ground of shipping tomatoes under a false label. All of the facts will no doubt be presented to the government attorney in a few days. It is said that the San Francisco firm will fight such an action to a finish, claiming that it has never made any shipment of northern tomatoes to eastern markets under such label, declaring that the tomatoes that came from one of its packing houses in the north to southern California were taken without authority by an employee who has since been discharged. In fact it is said that the company says a job was put up on it, but whether or not it can prove this statement remains to be seen. Deputy Skiles Hurt Robert H. Skiles, chief deputy county assessor, is in a hospital in River-side with two bones of one leg broken about half way between the knee and ankle. The injuries were received Sunday afternoon at Riverside when two motorcycles collided. On Sunday Skiles rode a motorcycle belonging to his father, H. A. Skiles, to Hemet, and was returning when he was hurt. The accident occurred in Riverside at a corner as a street car was making a turn. He was watching the car. Another motorcyclist approaching the corner was also watching the car, and the two riders failed to see each other until it was too late to avoid a bump. The motorcycle ridden by the other man struck Skiles on the leg. While the impact was hard, he was not thrown, and his motorcycle ran on for half a block before he convinced himself that his leg was broken. He turned in beside the curb, stopped, and was taken to a hospital. The fractures are severe, and the leg is badly bruised. Monday morning the deputy assessor's father visited the injured man, and found him resting easily. The physician in charge stated that he thought Skiles could be moved to Santa Ana in about a week. GRAND JURY IS CALLED FOR THE 18TH Annual Inquiry Into County Affairs to Be Week Earlier This year the grand jury will begin its work a week or ten days earlier than has been the custom in Orange county. Yesterday Judge West ordered that the talesmen be in Department No. 1 of the superior court at 10 o'clock on the morning of November 18. There seems to be no special reason for starting the grand jury out earlier than STANDARD OIL BRINGS IN GUSHER Ten Thousand Barrel Well Struck on the Emery Lease The Standard Oil Company, which brought in a 10,000-barrel gusher on the Emery lease last week, may bring in another gusher in the near future. Emery lease, which are a mile and a half to two miles distant from No. 7, the big gusher. Oil men express the belief that the territory on which the Emery lease is located is the best so far discovered in the state. The oil is very high gravity, and every well which the Standard has brought in, and nearly all which the Murphy has finished have been in the gusher type. Every well on the Emery lease has produced 1,000 barrels a day or more at some time, while even on the big company's McNee lease in Midway, the well next to the big gusher would only be a small "pumper." The Lakeview gusher in Midway was a stellar performer while it lasted, but no well drilled in that division since has had any particular claim to fame. Instances of a similar condition in other sections might also be cited to show the remarkable character of the territory comprising the Emery and adjoining properties. The only companies which appear to have struck it rich there, so far, however, are the Murphy and the Standard, and they control practically all the proved territory, and a great deal besides. fight such an action to a finish, claiming that it has never made any shipment of northern tomatoes to eastern markets under such label, declaring that the tomatoes that came from one of its packing houses in the north to southern California were taken without authority by an employee who has since been discharged. In fact it is said that the company says a job was put up on it, but whether or not it can prove this statement remains to be seen. A Great Gusher Another great gusher has been brought in in the oil fields. On Friday while the drillers were at work on the Standard Oil Company's well No. 7 on the Emery lease the well broke loose and for several days gushed oil at the rate of nearly 10,000 barrels a day. The oil is 28 gravity and the daily output was worth at least $17,000. The hole is down 3,400 feet and the drillers did not expect to bring in the well at a lesser depth than 4,000 feet, but it came in as a great surprise. This is one of the best wells that has been opened up in this territory and again proves that plenty of oil can be found in the range of hills running east and west and a mile north of Fullerton. This well is only a mile or two from some of the great Murphy gushers but it produces a much higher gravity oil than that which comes from the Murphy wells. For the first two or three days after the Emery well was brought in the roar of the great gusher could be heard some distance away. The well of the Standard Company brought in in the city limits of Fullerton, will also prove to be a great producer, according to reports. When the well was first brought in the oil stood 800 feet deep but during the past week it ran over the top of the casing several times. Experts say that if this well is sunk to a greater depth it may make one of the biggest gushers ever tapped in the fields. STANDARD OIL BRINGS IN GUSHER Ten Thousand Barrel Well Struck on the Emery Lease The Standard Oil Company, which brought in a 10,000-barrel gusher on the Emery lease last week, may bring in another gusher in the near future. Oil was found in one of the company's wells a mile and a half north of Fullerton two weeks ago, and it stood at a depth of 700 feet in the casing. The oil ran over the top of the casing, and the well is expected to develop into a big gusher before a depth of 4,000 feet is reached. The hole is now down about 3,500 feet. The Standard Oil Company's well on the Emery ranch has now produced about $90,000 worth of oil. The well has averaged about 10,000 barrels a day since it came in, some ten days ago, and has, consequently, already yielded about 100,000 barrels. Last week on certain days its output ran over the 10,000-barrel figure. Thursday, for instance, the production was figured at 13,000 barrels. Toward the end of the week the output appeared to be increasing. This has been the case with several of the older Emery wells. The month of November promises to record another heavy over-production of oil in the state, as the Standard has also rehabilitated gushers Nos. 6 and 10 on the McKee lease. They were at latest advices, yielding an aggregate of 15,000 barrels a day. The Standard Oil Company's total production in the state is now close to 60,000 barrels a day, or considerably more than one-fifth of the entire output of California. The company is drilling several more wells on the Emery lease. On an ad- Save the Piecesand bring them to us. No break is so bad but what we can repair it.

Center St.: Anaheim, Cal “There’s No Place Like Home” HAVE FAITH IN THE HOME MAN It is true today as it was 1900 years ago that “a prophet is not without honor save in his own country.” The lack of appreciation by home people has caused many a man to leave a town and seek a new community in which to begin an enterprise. Thus a new industry which might have helped this town to grow was lost because its people lacked faith in the home man. The man who goes away and succeeds is readily acknowledged by the people of his home town as a genius. Many an inventor and many a projector of new enterprises has had this experience; it is common indeed, to all mankind. Persons in many communities have not sufficiently appreciated what their neighbors were accomplishing or could achieve and so many a man has gone elsewhere and found the recognition that was denied him at home. Give credit and backing to the home man. Have faith in him and encourage him. If this is done fully and freely it will go a long way toward keeping at home many a man who otherwise will go elsewhere to find moral and financial backing. There is genius in this town as well as in any other. If you know of a man who has something to develop, don’t let him go elsewhere. Help him to get a start right here.
