A BIG BUSINESS NOW IN NEW BUILDING WICKERSHEIM IMPLEMENT CO. IS EXPANDING AND ADDING MORE ROOM 24,000 SQUARE FEET OF FLOOR SPACE NOW OCCUPIED BY THE ESTABLISHMENT Forty automobiles took part in the big parade which featured the grand opening of the Wickersheim Implement Company in its new quarters Saturday afternoon between 3 and 4 o'clock on December 20. The Wickersheim people have just moved into their $8,000 garage building and the grand opening was in celebration of this. As a good account of the parade was given in the last issue of the Orange County Tribune, we will omit further mention here. The entire building now has a frontage of 125 feet at 117 to 125 West Commonwealth avenue and a depth of 145 feet, and contains 24,000 square feet of floor space, including galleries. The changes and improvements in the office building alone including their new offices and ladies' rest room were made at an expenditure of $1,500. Commonwealth avenue on which the building fronts and which has a width of 100 feet, has just recently been covered with a fine asphalt pavement, and its wide, clean appearance was in entire harmony with the large new front of the Wickersheim building. It would be necessary to travel many a day to find a nicer and better street than Commonwealth. A large number of wholesale representatives and travelers were present as guests at the opening. Among them were B. L. Graves, manager of the Los Walks the streets looking for work, the wind whistling through his threadbare coat. No one who knows him dare employ him, for he is a regular firebrand of discontent. He is impervious to reason and the only thing that can impress him is the toe of a thick-soled No. 9 boot. "Have I put the matter too strongly? Possibly I have but when all the world has gone a slumming I wish to speak a word of sympathy for the man who succeeds—the man who against great odds has directed the efforts of others, and having succeeded, finds there's nothing in it, nothing but bare board and clothes. I have carried a dinner-pail and worked for day's wages and I have also been an employer of labor, and I know there is something to be said on both sides. There is no excellence, per se, in poverty; rags are no recommendation, and all employers are not rapacious and high-handed, any more than all poor men are virtuous. My heart goes out to the man who does his work when the 'boss' is away, as well as when he is at home. And the man who, when given a letter for Garcia, quietly takes the missive, without asking any idiotic questions, and with no lurking intention of chucking it into the nearest sewer, or of doing aught else but deliver it, never gets 'laid off,' nor has to go on a strike for higher wages. Civilization is one long, anxious search for just such individuals. Anything such a man asks shall be granted. He is wanted in every city, town and village, in every office, shop, store and factory. The world cries out for such, he is needed and needed badly—the man who can 'Carry a Message to Garcia.'" CITY MARSHAL IS UNDER ARREST Vincent Again in Trouble at Huntington Beach Former Trustee David O. Stewart, recognized head of one faction in Huntington Beach, and City Marshal E. L. Vincent, said to be backed by the other faction, are again in the limelight because of a Christmas night dance held there at which Stewart was on walks the streets looking for work, the wind whistling through his threadbare coat.

It would be necessary to travel many a day to find a nicer and better street than Commonwealth. A large number of wholesale representatives and travelers were present as guests at the opening. Among them were B. L. Graves, manager of the Los Angeles branch of the Ford Motor Co., W. O. Gates and Herbert Haas, representatives of the Pacific Kissel Kar branch of Los Angeles, F. J. Lindley of the International Harvester Co., J. F. Johnson with the California Moline Plow Co., P. R. Mallory of the Standard Oil Co., Mr. Needles with the Diamond Rubber Co., J. Henderson with the Smith, Booth Usher Co., and the traveling representative of the Killifer Manufacturing Company. The new garage building is not the only expenditure made recently by the Wickersheim Implement Company. In July the company purchased the three lots where the garage now stands, from the president, Mr. Wickersheim, and after completing their garage they moved their offices temporarily into the beautiful automobile show room and put a concrete floor in place of the board floor in their office and vehicle room, tinted the walls, put in new shelving, and new up-to-date offices and a ladies' rest room at an expense of another $1,500. They have installed $1,000 worth of new machinery in their garage, making a total expenditure since last July of $17,500 in lots, buildings and improvements, machinery and equipment, thus giving them a plant valued at about $30,000 outside of their large and complete stock. Their building is as well stocked if not better than any other business of its kind in Southern California. In building their offices and ladies' rest room Mr. Wickersheim asked their contractor, C. J. Schulz, not to spare any expense and consequently these are equal in appearance and workmanship to offices in the city. They have spent several hundred dollars alone for electric light fixtures. Their stock room is probably the most convenient and best equipped in Orange county. The dressing room for their employees contains a special individual compartment or locker for each one employed, there are two men's lavatories and toilets and the ladies' rest room has a lavatory and toilet conveniently located near it. The lobby in front of the office and ladies' rest room contains settees and chairs inviting their customers to rest, lounge or read and wait their turn. Their sales in 1912 exceeded those of 1911 by 40 per cent but in 1913 they exceed those of last year by 2½ times, and Mr. Wickersheim is confident that they will double their sales in 1914 over 1913. Although Mr. Wickersheim himself has increased his own investment in the business since 1902 fourteen fold, and has therefore been fairly successful, he is confident that his company is just now beginning to do a successful and prosperous business. CITY MARSHAL IS UNDER ARREST Vincent Again in Trouble at Huntington Beach Former Trustee David O. Stewart, recognized head of one faction in Huntington Beach, and City Marshal E. L. Vincent, said to be backed by the other faction, are again in the limelight because of a Christmas night dance held there at which Stewart was arrested by the city marshal and his deputy, his son, Raleigh Vincent. Stewart is charged with being drunk and disorderly, and a few hours later—Friday afternoon—the two Vincents were arrested by Deputy Constable R. E. Linden, on a warrant sworn out by Stewart in Justice J. W. Shirley's court, charging both the marshal and his deputy with using boisterous language, seeking to disturb the peace by fighting Stewart and otherwise behaving in a manner unseemly in a peace officer. The affair is now town talk and promises to become the subject of heated arguments by partisans of both sides. In fact, some persons seem to think that it will not stop at verbal warfare. In making the arrest of the city marshal the deputy constable tried to make him surrender his pistol, but this the marshal refused to do. The clash between the city peace officer and the county peace officer is made slightly more interesting by the fact that the two are also personal enemies. If all the talk here now materializes into action, the governor may be called on for the state militia, Stewart's friends are threatening to do dire things tomorrow and Vincent's friends are equally belligerent. CATHOLIC PRELATE 41 YEARS PRIEST Congratulations Showered on Bishop Conaty by Friends For the Rt. Rev. Thomas J. Conaty, bishop of the diocese of Los Angeles and Monterey, Sunday was the 41st anniversary of the date on which he was ordained a priest, and the occasion was made much of by his friends, here and in other cities, who showered congratulations upon him for his long and successful service to the church. Bishop Conaty took orders at the Grand Seminary, the historic school conducted for several centuries by the Sulpician Fathers at Montreal, Canada.-Following his ordination then Father Conaty became assistant pastor of St. John's church at Worcester, Mass. He served in that capacity from 1872 until 1880, when he was made pastor of the Sacred Heart church in greater population. Forfeited Franchise C. H. L.

Although Mr. Wickersheim himself has increased his own investment in the business since 1902 fourteen fold, and has therefore been fairly successful, he is confident that his company is just now beginning to do a successful and prosperous business. The following are the officers and employees of the company: Wm. J. Wickersheim, president and manager; Chas. Otto Rust, vice-president; Harry G. Maxwell, secretary and bookkeeper; Miss Mae Wiltamuth, assistant bookkeeper and stenographer; Thos. R. Macdonald, sales manager; Lyle Wm. Wickersheim, collector and solicitor; H. B. Benedict, solicitor; J. C. Batchman, ware house foreman; J. C. Meyer, manager harness department; Wallace E. Oswald, shop foreman; A. W. Elmore, mechanician; Earl Bacon, mechanician; J. C. David, shopman; Oscar Clever, shopman; Walter Hauser, stock department; Amos Pearce, assistant motorcycle department. This makes a total of 15 now regularly employed during the dull time of the year. The Wickersheim Implement Company is an institution of which every Fullerton man should be proud, and well might their motto be "Watch us Grow." As a fitting conclusion to this article we will quote the conclusion to Elbert Hubbard's "A Message to Garcia." "I know one man of really brilliant parts who has not the ability to manage a business of his own, and yet who is absolutely worthless to any one else, because he carries with him constantly the insane suspicion that his employer is oppressing or intending to oppress him. He can not give orders, and he will not receive them. Should a message be given him to take to Garcia, his answer would probably be 'Take it yourself!' Tonight this man was made much of by his friends, here and in other cities, who showered congratulations upon him for his long and successful service to the church. Bishop Conaty took orders at the Grand Seminary, the historic school conducted for several centuries by the Sulpician Fathers at Montreal, Canada. Following his ordainment the then Father Conaty became assistant pastor of St. John’s church at Worcester, Mass. He served in that capacity from 1872 until 1880, when he was made pastor of the Sacred Heart church in Worcester, and held that position until 1886. From that year until 1893 he served as rector of the Catholic University at Washington, D.C. In November, 1901, he was consecrated bishop, and was appointed to his present diocese in March, 1903. He arrived in Los Angeles in June, 1903, and from that time has been one of the commanding figures in the religious world of California. 30,000 UNEMPLOYED The city council of Los Angeles on Friday voted $1,500 monthly for three months for the temporary relief of the unemployed. A mass meeting of civic organization was held to consider the problem of the unemployed. Chief of Police Sebastian estimated that there are 20,000 unemployed men and 10,000 unemployed women in Los Angeles. The Associated Charities is without funds, and has issued an appeal, saying that many are suffering. Addressing the council, Councilman Wheeler said that 4,000 women stenographers, bookkeepers and office help were without work, and the problem was daily growing more acute. He predicts that the city must put the unemployed men at work on its idle lands. Placentia, was arrested violating his probation fessed to stealing the money to Long Beach in it says. He brought the case as Orangethorpe, where he in the gas tank arrests. He was taken where he was given a sentence and placed Putnam, when seen in trouble to say. "I guess I did not mention all right," he said about port in December. It is I have gone months without however. I have been garage, but recently spared and have been laid up. Pete Nicolas Buys Staples Peter Nicolas, proprietor of Eureka stables, has been Linebarger & Co., including 20 head of buggies, 10 double right will consolidate the two establishments. Operate both stables, livery business and team, wagon and feed sell off what stock he use. Altogether the new business will have 3525 buggies and some Mr. Nicolas will manage. He has been in the livestock many years and by good management has best livery business in Pete is a hustler and will now have one of ped stables in Southern California will be better prepared serve the people of Placentia county, including all IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Rankin on Warpath Deputy Sheriff Law of Santa Ana was called to Brea Wednesday night at midnight to arrest Bob Rankin, who, it is claimed, went on the warpath and shot at Charles Kinsler and Grover Zang. It is said Rankin was "out for business" as he had two revolvers and a shot gun. The men are said to have had a row late at night which resulted in the mixup. Law could not find Rankin that night. Rankin is a single man. No one was injured in the mixup. Fullerton Man Killed An inquest over the body of Andrew W. Lindgren, a Fullerton man, who was accidentally killed near that city last Monday, was held by Coroner Winbigler. The coroner's verdict was: "Death due to a fractured skull caused by his being accidentally caught in the belt and flywheel of a gasoline engine." The accident which cost Lindgren his life took place in a pumping plant near Fullerton. He was caught in a large belt and thrown through the wall of the building, his skull being crushed. Lindgren was 36 years of age. Fullerton Takes High Rank Among 22 high schools in the larger cities of California in educational matters, Fullerton ranks alongside Long Beach, Santa Ana, Fresno and other big places in educational matters. Fullerton ranks third in the value of school property at $240,000; third in the value of equipment, at $25,000; fourth in the amount of money raised by special tax at $45,000, and fifth in the assessed valuation of the district, at $9,250,000. In nearly every instance this city is far above other places of greater population. Forfeited Franchise C. H. L. Ghriest, who owns an electric light plant at Newport Beach, filed a notice with the Board of Supervisors to the effect that the Pacific Power & Light Corporation has forfeited its franchise to run a power line from Artesia to Newport Beach, where the corporation expects to enter into competition with Ghriest. In his communication he says that work on the line was not commenced soon enough to be within the franchise. GRAND ARMY MEN ELECT OFFICERS R. C.

NORTHERN OIL Consistently watching over the interests of its wards, the Queniult Indians of Washington, the Government has just completed a field examination of the oil and gas prospects on the Pacific slope of the Olympic Peninsula. The investigation, which was a reconnaissance in behalf of the Office of Indian Affairs, and in view of the necessary delay incident to the preparation and printing of even a brief report and maps, the Geological Survey has immediately issued a short advance statement regarding the surface indications of oil and gas noted by the geologist who examined the region. The report itself, which will be published within a few months, is being prepared by the Survey for the Indian Office and will contain all the information obtained during the examination of the Queniult Indian reservation and the adjacent lands having reference to the presence of oil or gas. The Survey geologist who made the examination, C. T. Lupton, collected Forfeited Franchise C. H. L. Ghriest, who owns an electric light plant at Newport Beach, filed a notice with the Board of Supervisors to the effect that the Pacific Power & Light Corporation has forfeited its franchise to run a power line from Artesia to Newport Beach, where the corporation expects to enter into competition with Ghriest. In his communication he says that work on the line was not commenced soon enough to be within the franchise provisions. Auto Collision Two automobiles collided Saturday night at the Claudina street entrance of the alley at the rear of the Southern County Bank's building. Although the automobiles were considerably damaged, no one was hurt. Fred Kurtz, formerly in the hardware business at Garden Grove, was coming out of the alley on to Claudina street and was driving his Studebaker touring car, when Wm. L. Kreuscher, the plumber, driving his plumbing car, turned into the alley from Claudina street, and the two machines met on the sidewalk. Kurtz's machine had a tire punctured, and the steering wheel and the running board were broken. The steering wheel on the Kreuscher machine was broken, and also a tire was punctured. Boy Forged Checks Hoping to raise money enough to get to Fort Worth, Tex., to see his father, with a plan in mind then to join the army, Walker Miller, of Santa Ana, aged 17, prepared a number of worthless checks, to which he forged the name of his father, A. M. Miller. That is the reason young Miller spent Christmas in a cell at the county jail, gazing out of a window at the rain. It was a dreary enough Christmas. This morning he said that he wants to be allowed to go away from here. If arrangements can be made to suit him, he will join the army at the nearest point where he can be enlisted. The boy came here three months ago with his mother, and has lived on West Fifth street near Ross. For a time he worked in a garage. Violate His Parole Earl Putnam, alias Earl Ward, who a year ago confessed to stealing an automobile belonging to Mr. Davis of Placentia, was arrested, charged with violating his probation. Putnam confessed to stealing the car and driving to Long Beach in it "for booze," he says. He brought the car as far back as Orangethorpe, where he poured water in the gas tank and was stalled. He left the car at Orangethorpe and returned to his home, where he was arrested. He was taken to Santa Ana, where he was given an indeterminate sentence and placed on probation. Putnam, when seen in his cell had lit- WELL NUMBER 7 IS VALUABLE PROPERTY Has Yielded Half a Million Barrels of Oil to Date The Standard Oil Company's No. 7 well on the Emery lease in Coyote Hills, is justifying earlier predictions that it would prove the best producer in the state. Although there have been larger wells in Midway, the gravity of the oil obtained from these has not been as high as in the case of Emery No. 7, nor has the flow been as steady, nor as well controlled. The Emery well, which is still yielding nearly 9,000 barrels a day, and which is partially shut in at that, has now produced nearly 500,000 barrels of oil since it came in about November 1. If all this oil were gathered together in one huge tank, that receptacle would contain about $400,000, at the field price of 85 cents a barrel for the oil content. Moreover, that same tank, if it were 100 feet high, would cover about three quarters of an acre. The Standard Oil Company has later finished the doubling of its six-inch pipe line from Northam to El Segundo, and it is said that another branch may become necessary when more wells are brought in on the Emery lease. The Standard has just cemented No. 5, as well as No. 1 on the McNally adjoining. The company has been building a large number of storage tanks on the Emery lease, at Northam and El Segundo, to take care of the increased production. ALTITUDES IN CALIFORNIA Incidental to its topographic mapping in the State of California, the Geological Survey has placed bench marks showing altitudes at more than Placentia, was arrested, charged with violating his probation. Putnam confessed to stealing the car and driving to Long Beach in it "for booze," he says. He brought the car as far back as Orangethorpe, where he poured water in the gas tank and was stalled. He left the car at Orangethorpe and returned to his home, where he was arrested. He was taken to Santa Ana, where he was given an indeterminate sentence and placed on probation. Putnam, when seen in his cell had little to say. "I guess I broke my probation all right," he said. "I failed to report in December. It is not true that I have gone months without reporting, however. I have been doing work in a garage, but recently sprained my ankle and have been laid up." Pete Nicolas Buys Stable Peter Nicolas, proprietor of the Eureka stables, has purchased from Linebarger & Co. the Fullerton stables including 20 head of horses, 13 single buggies, 10 double rigs and outfits and will consolidate the business of the two establishments. Mr. Nicolas will operate both stables, using one for a livery business and the other as a team, wagon and feed stable. He will sell off what stock he is not able to use. Altogether the new consolidated business will have 35 head of horses, 25 buggies and some 10 double rigs. Mr. Nicolas will manage both stables. He has been in the livery business for many years and by hard work and good management has built up the best livery business in Orange county. Pete is a hustler and is well liked. He will now have one of the best equipped stables in Southern California and will be better prepared than ever to serve the people of northern Orange county, including all of the oil fields. ALTITUDES IN CALIFORNIA Incidental to its topographic mapping in the State of California, the Geological Survey has placed bench marks showing altitudes at more than 4,000 datum points. These points vary considerably in altitude, ranging from one in the Salton region 257 feet below sea level to the summit of Mount Whitney, 14,501 feet above the sea. Many of the datum points established in the Salton region, however, have possibly been lost to view on account of the flooding of Salton Sea several years ago, when Colorado River broke through its banks. The exact elevations of these 4,000 or more bench marks are shown in bulletins 342 and 481 of the United States Geological Survey, which contain the results of spirit leveling in California from 1896 to 1910, inclusive. The work in Sacramento, Salinas, and San Joaquin valleys, from 1907 to 1910, inclusive, was done in co-operation with the state. Engineers and surveyors who need to have accurately determined points from which to start surveys of any kind find the spirit-leveling bulletins published by the Geological Survey of value. Although the Survey's published maps show the elevations of points within the areas mapped, these elevations are approximate, whereas the elevations listed in the bulletins are given to the thousandth of a foot. Those who have occasion to use the bench-mark elevations should have a copy of the spirit-leveling bulletins for reference. Rev. David Todd Gillmor, pastor of the Episcopal church, filled a pulpit at El Toro Sunday night in the absence of the regular pastor.
