The phenomenal bonuses obtained in auctioning leases on Osage Indian lands showed the high value of Oklahoma lands. The oil also increased in price to $1.03 a barrel and would have gone higher but for the excessive production, which put oil into storage and created uncertainty as has recommended by producing naval reserves a from it. There has been many parts of the year in petroleum the dehydration obtaining gasoline and synthetically PETROLEUM THIS YEAR BREAKS RECORD PRODUCTION IN 1913 ESTIMATED AT MORE THAN 240 MILLION BARRELS CALIFORNIA LEADS WITH YIELD OF 98 MILLIONS, AN INCREASE OF 12 MILLIONS The remarkably great output of petroleum during each year of this century was more than maintained in 1913. The amount produced in the past 12 months exceeded 240,000,000 barrels, or about 32,000,000 metric tons, according to estimates of David T. Day, of the United States Geological Survey. The production in 1912, which made the record up to that time, was 222,113,218 barrels. The rate of increase in 1913 was greater at the end of the year than at the beginning. California increased at least 10,000,000 barrels over 1912, almost reaching 100,000,000 barrels. The consumption in California almost equaled the production, and the addition to stocks was very slight. Oklahoma also showed a significant increase, with about 6 per cent addition to the stock. Texas and Louisiana likewise increased their product. The output of the Gulf field declined, but this was more than offset by the increases in northern Louisiana and Texas. Wyoming showed a significant increase from the Salt Creek field. Other states generally showed a decline, which was greatest in the state of Illinois. The following is an estimate of the production in 1913, compared with the statistics for 1912. Petroleum production in 1913 (estimated) and 1912, in barrels: | Year | Production | | :--- | :--- | | 1913 | 98,000,000 | | 1912 | 86,450,767 | | California | 98,000,000 | | Oklahoma | 62,500,000 | | Illinois | 22,000,000 | | Texas | 14,000,000 | | Louisiana | 12,000,000 | | West Virginia | 11,000,000 | | Ohio | 8,000,000 | | Pennsylvania | 7,000,000 | | Wyoming | 3,000,000 | | Kansas | 2,000,000 | | Indiana | 900,000 | | New York | 800,000 | | Kentucky | 500,000 | | Colorado | 200,000 | | Other States | 100,000 | Total: 242,000,000 222,113,218 In New York and Pennsylvania great efforts were made to increase production by new drilling and more special high prices asked for favorable locations in Oklahoma reacted in favor of Kansas. The phenomenal bonuses obtained in auctioning leases on Osage Indian lands showed the high value of Oklahoma lands. The oil also increased in price to $1.03 a barrel and would have gone higher but for the excessive production, which put oil into storage and created uncertainty as to future prices. Besides satisfactory development of the new Cushing and Cleveland pools, interesting prospects for new pools have been found at Newkirk, Wann, and Healdton. As usual, many large wells, difficult of control, were obtained in the Caddo region, Louisiana, including Mooringsport, and fires were disastrous. The product was irregular but showed an increase. In the Gulf region the product declined. Through the efforts of the Louisiana Conservation Commission, the United States Bureau of Mines, and the oil operators the gas well near Oil City, which had run wild since the opening of the Caddo region, was closed. The Electra and other fields in northern Texas continued to increase, and the decline in the Gulf region was slight. Much wildcatting was in progress at many points over the state. Chief interest centered in a new development at Moran, in Shackelford county. Production increased in the Salt Creek field of Wyoming, and the erection of additional refineries was commenced. An important suit was begun by the Federal Government to recover oil lands entered upon since the first withdrawal order of former President Taft. At the close of 1912 consumption in California had so nearly balanced the productive rate as to encourage the producers and at least to defeat concerted effort toward restriction of drilling. Many of the wells of 1913 were gushers of the phenomenal type and aided greatly in increasing the supply. The efforts to increase consumption succeeded fairly well, so that except during the month of greatest production, September, when about 9,ooo,ooo barrels were produced, the consumption almost kept pace with the output and the amount sent to storage was less than a million barrels. The Fullerton field continued to yield large gushers with sufficient frequency to justify the attempts to reach the unusually great depth of the oil sands. Farther north the "west side" fields of Kern county continued as strong factors in the increasing output of the state, and the Buena Vista Hills, Elk Hills, and other new districts gained in interest. Even the comparatively old Kern River field near Bakersfield sustained interest by wildcatting to the northwest, where the Standard Oil Company's well went into oil and aroused geologic and financial speculation over a large area. The product of the district declined. Coalinga's year had many eventful features including extensive naval reserves and from it. There has been many parts of this year in petroleum obtaining gasoline and synthetically from obtaining marine crude oils.

In New York and Pennsylvania great efforts were made to increase production by new drilling and more especially by cleaning out old wells. No great success was obtained, and the usual decline resulted. A deep test boring at Derrick City, near Bradford, Pa., was carried to 5,673 feet with the hope of finding oil in the Medina sands. This boring is being continued. In West Virginia no new pools comparable with the Blue Creek discovery of the previous year were opened. The drilling in Roane, Ritchie, and many other counties was successful enough to check the expected decline due to the decreased yield of Blue Creek. The possibilities of finding oil in western Kentucky aroused general interest. Eastern Ohio was actively drilled with fair results, and in the Ohio River region an interesting innovation in handling old wells gave promise of very beneficial conservation of old fields in the future. Compressed air was forced into the nearly exhausted oil-bearing sands through a well situated centrally in a group of old wells and the increase in yield was marked. The decline in the Lima (Ohio and Indiana) field was no greater than usual; in fact, the new development in Sullivan county, Indiana, added an encouraging new supply. Illinois continued the marked decline of 1912. Wildcattling gave unsatisfactory results. The entire Mid-Continent region showed an increase, with a record total output. In Kansas prospecting returned to many localities which had been temporarily abandoned when the Glenn pool attracted all available capital to Oklahoma. During last year the Farther north "west side" fields of Kern county continued as strong factors in the increasing output of the state, and the Buena Vista Hills, Elk Hills, and other new districts gained in interest. Even the comparatively old Kern River field near Bakersfield sustained interest by wildcattling to the northwest, where the Standard Oil Company's well went into oil and aroused geologic and financial speculation over a large area. The product of the district declined. Coalinga's year had many eventful features, including extensions of territory to the east and the discovery of additional deep sands yielding oils containing paraffin. The value of the field was indicated by the sale of the California Oil Fields, Ltd., to the Shell Trading & Transportation Company, an ally of the Royal Dutch Syndicate, late in the year. The Santa Maria field benefited by increased technologic development by which the oils were topped and dehydrated with markedly greater efficiency. These developments included the successful introduction of the Cottrell electric dehydration process. The adoption of the Trumble and Dyer toping and dehydrating processes and the great advance in methods for obtaining gasoline from natural gas were among the striking achievements of the year, but while less spectacular, the economies effected by many minor improvements in the great refineries at Point Richmond, Oleum, and El Segundo contributed perhaps equally to the general problem of efficient refining. In transportation the new pipe line of the General Petroleum Company over Tehachapi Pass effected cheaper transportation to the south, and the natural gas line to Los Angeles was equally advantageous. Meanwhile several new tank oil carriers and oil-burning steamships were added to the Pacific coast trade and aided in increasing consumption. On account of the increased cost of fuel oil for battleships and the fact that foreign corporations are rapidly purchasing reserves of oil in the United States, the Secretary of the Navy through is grander East as infusorial value for insulation electrical industry.

PRE-HISTORIC ANIMALS UNEARTHED AT BREA Excavators Find Skeletons of Many Mammals of the Long Ago Rich finds in La Brea asphalt beds, in the shape of skulls and skeletons a quarter of a million years old, were reported yesterday to the board of supervisors by Frank S. Daggett, curator of the county museum at Exposition Park. Mr. Daggett's latest report tells of the unearthling of the skulls of five sloths, 72 tigers, five lions, one camel, one bear, three bison, six horses, 55 wolves and one mammal. A total of 148 skulls and 59 boxes of skeletons of animals has been delivered to the museum. The excavators almost have reached the bottom of pit No. 3, Mr. Daggett says, but bones are yet to be found in the walls. The bones of a bear are visible in the walls of No. 4, and in No. 9 the skeleton of an elephant is to be removed at once. MOVING A MOUNTAIN A whole mountain of earth is being sent East from California. It is situated near Lompoc, but the state of Pennsylvania wants it and is willing to pay the price for it, so that it is being shipped a matter of three thousand miles by rail at the rate of 15-cars, or seven hundred and fifty tons, a month. When the last car has gone out an accurate indication will be had of what a mountain actually weighs. The earth is of a very peculiar consistency, and is supposed to be the result of gradual decomposition for ages past of millions of sea shells. For commercial use, the only process it goes through is grinding. It is sold in the East as infusorial earth and has high value for insulating purposes in the electrical industry. The grain of the earth is exceedingly fine and there is no grit, so that much of it finds its way into jewelers' shops as a polish. In weight, it is very light and fluffs like feathers. The color is white. What other uses will be developed for this California earth are a matter of conjecture. Many uses are being found for it daily. NEW FIRM OPENS AN OFFICE IN ANAHEIM FREE TEXT BOOKS AND THEIR SAVING Nearly Three Hundred Thousand Dollars Saved First Year The figures of the state printing office at Sacramento show that the cost of giving free text-books to the school children of California for the first year of the new system has been $316,000. This carries the school through to the end of the school year in the coming summer. At the catalogue prices the people would have had to pay for these same books, according to the estimate of Mr. Richardson, superintendent of the state printing office, not less than $600,000. The example set by California in this matter bids fair to be followed in many of the other states. If the people can save half the cost of the production of their school books, why should not they do so? Why should the people pay tribute to a combine? The cry of the extreme individualist is that private capital must be protected. But the people are also entitled to protection. It has been proved that under wise administration the state printing office can be made a powerful economic agent. Under unwise management it was one of the worst sinks for the money of the people. After all, as we have said before, the success or failure of public ownership seems to be a question of management. State or municipal ownership is a success if business methods are applied. Otherwise failure is the only outcome. The text-book problem has been solved along business lines and the people are satisfied. The only complaint is that of the book combine. SONS-IN-LAW TAKE HEED Judge Monroe declared in a recent decision that it is no part of the duty of a mother-in-law to support her daughter and the latter's husband. After making this decision he granted a divorce to Mrs. Miriam Morgan from her husband, Thomas Morgan of Santa Ana. Mrs. Morgan told from the witness stand that she had urged her husband to go to work. "Every day I used to say to him, 'Tom, aren't you going to work today?' and every day he replied, 'No, not today.' Why should I? Your mother is perfectly able to support me." "Finally mother interfered and she asked Tom if he didn't intend to work and Tom made the same reply to her. Then he deserted me." Inquiry was made by the court as to the nature of the desertion and it was testified as follows: "Mother just got tired of him and chased him away and he didn't come back." Judge Monroe concluded the "desertion" was sufficient. EIGHTY PER CENT OF NORMAL CROP 39,170 Cars Is Latest Estimate on Year's Citrus Crop Riverside experts in making an annual estimate of the citrus crop this season figure the total at 39,170 cars, or practically 80 per cent of a normal crop.

B. Berger Company, realty brokers, now occupy offices in the new Dreyfus building, corner of Los Angeles and Center streets. Mr. Berger has been operating in this territory for some time from his office in Los Angeles. December 1, 1913, the new relationship between Mr. Berger and Mr. Henderson was formed and plans for larger activities were immediately taken up. The business of the company grew so rapidly in this locality that it was decided to open an office in Anaheim. Mr. Henderson but recently sold his ranch on East street just north of Anaheim where he has lived long enough to be deeply interested in this community and make many warm friends. Mr. Berger also lives near Anaheim, to the south, has friends everywhere and is widely known as "the man who delivers the goods." Two more congenial, affable, hustling spirits could hardly be found, and if we can judge from this and the number of sales recently made in this community by this new firm, real estate transfers will be the order of the day. They got most of their buyers from the East and North. But recently two fine young men from far-away Holland were attracted by their advertisement of this section and came here with money and purchased a piece of land near Anaheim. They go after and get cash buyers. The new firm, modestly, make their bow to the public with but one policy, "A square deal for all." They have offices at 304-305 Lankershim building, Los Angeels, and room 10, Dreyfus building, Anaheim. NATIONAL ORANGE SHOW With the opening of the National Orange Show, February 18 to 25, in San Bernardino, less than a month distant, districts that produce 90 per cent of the citrus fruit crop of California have already entered and will exhibit their choicest specimens of oranges and lemons in an effort to win the prizes for the best fruit grown. The following towns have already secured space for display of fruits: Lindsay and Exeter, in the heart of the Tulare county citrus fruit groves; Frenso county, Riverside, Covina, Placentia, Alta Loma, Redlands, Corona, Pomona, Claremont, Lordsburg, La Verne, Whittier, Ontario, Etiwanda, Upland, Rialto, Cucamonga, Fontana, Highland, Bloomington, East Highland, Monrovia, Duarte. The entertainment feature will be a part of the main exposition, and will occupy one of the three big tents that are to be thrown together. This is a new departure at the National Orange Show, the three former expositions having conducted mid-ways only. The mid-way will be here again in February. FANCY CHINA SPECIAL SATURDAY AT 2 P.M.

Scott made the general statement that deficient children come from deficient homes. "Ninety per cent of the 57 juvenile cases handled in the courts of this county in the last year," said he, "were cases that arose from homes that were broken up by disagreement, drink, divorce or kindred evils." This county has an effective method of handling juvenile cases, the county not being so large but that the probation officer can keep close track of his charges. Of 57 cases taken to court, 13 were put on probation, 14 sent to the Detention Home, seven to the Children's Home Society, seven sent to family homes, three sent to George Junior Republic, three to the State school at Whittier and three to the Preston School of Industry. FULLERTON'S PROGRESS Building Inspector Schumacher has made his report on buildings erected in Fullerton during the year 1913. Of the 145 permits issued, 50 were for residences, 19 for buildings of various purposes, 17 for additions, one for a warehouse and four for alterations, 18 for barns and garages, four for business blocks, one for a hospital and one for the grammar school. The money expended for buildings during the year was $325,565.92, against a total of $130,641.50 for 1912, or a gain of about 250 per cent.
