EMERY WELL NO. 7, A RECORD BREAKER PRODUCING TEN THOUSAND BARRELS PER DAY OF HIGH GRAVITY OIL COMPANY EXPENDING $200,000 ON PIPE LINE TO CARRY AWAY ITS PRODUCT The vast unsuspected wealth which has been brought to light by the Standard Oil Company in its No. 7 on its Emery lease, is proving one of the greatest marvels in the history of the oil industry of California. The great gusher has now been producing for three months at the rate of nearly 10,000 barrels per day. The oil is a very valuable product, high in gravity, and therefore admirably adapted for profitable refining. Soon the production of the gusher will total 1,000,000 barrels, enough to fill a lake covering over three acres to a depth of five feet. The value of this product at the field price will be over $800,000. However, it is believed that the Standard in refining the oil is able to obtain net returns of at least $3 a barrel, so that the output of the well is now worth nearly $3,000,000 in the aggregate. Since the well commenced producing, the company, to take care of the growing output from its properties, has undertaken to spend some $200,000 on an eight-inch pipe line from Northam to El Segundo, and has also made large expenditures on the building of tanks to store the oil both in the field and at the refinery at El Segundo. This city planning course is to be given under the joint auspices of the Students' League of the Republic, an organization devoted to study of civic problems, the Architectural Association, and the University Extension Division. It is expected that several hundred students will be regularly enrolled for the course and that there will be an attendance of large numbers of visitors. Among the speakers will be Professor Thomas H. Reed, on the marvelous expansion of city life in recent generations; Dr. Werner Hegemann of Berlin on problems of city planning; John Galen Howard, director of the School of Architecture, designer of the Hearst Plan of the University and of the civic center of San Francisco, on the art of city planning; Wm.

Of course, these are to be considered as permanent improvements, and have really nothing to do with the output of the well itself, as far as cost is concerned. However, even regarding the expenditures as defrayed by the new gusher, a surplus of nearly $2,000,000 would be left as clear profit from the well. There are few wells in the state which have even approximated the record of the great Emery producer. The famous Birch gusher in Brea Canyon, considered the most profitable oil well in California, has yielded about 2,000,000 barrels of oil, a great deal of which sold at close to $1 a barrel, but it has taken the well nearly three years to produce this amount. The Lakeview gusher was a sensational producer and yielded tremendous quantities of oil, but was comparatively short-lived, while the Emery well gives every indication of comparative permanence. There have been other wells in the state at various times that have had highly spectacular careers, but in most instances they ceased producing with the suddenness with which they began, and were rarely if ever revived. The flow from the Emery well is steady, and common troubles, such as sanding up, are unknown in this section. The character of the territory in which the Standard gusher is located can best be compared, in its general features, with the district in Mexico where the famous gusher of the Mexican Petroleum Company, Casiano No. 7, is situated. The latter has been flowing for over three years at an average rate of about 22,500 barrels a day, and has shown little falling off in production during that period. CALIFORNIA CITIES SHOULD PLAN FUTURE San Francisco and Los Angeles Expected to Reach 2,000,000 That the cities of California should now plan wisely for their future growth, in order to save the wasting of countless millions hereafter in costly and yet makeshift reconstruction, is believed by the University of California, and so the university has established a new course of lectures on "City Planning," to interest its students and the public in this great world movement. Fifteen experts in various fields will come to the university to discuss the problem of how cities may develop of restricted residence districts in Berkeley and in San Francisco, on wise building restrictions for residence quarters in cities and towns; George W.

IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Scalded to Death As the result of being scalded two weeks ago, Ramon Padias, aged 2 years, died Friday. The child was the son of R. B. Padias, who lived at the W. H. Brown ranch at Villa Park. A kettle of boiling water that had been used to dip a chicken before picking was standing on a table in the yard when a dog jumped upon the table and knocked the kettle over. The water fell on the child. Tustin Building School Architect Frederick H. Eley is preparing working plans for the two-story and basement brick grammar school building to be erected at Tustin. The $50,000 bond issue has been sold. The building will contain eight standard classrooms, teachers' and principal's rooms, library and an auditorium to seat 800. There will be sloyd rooms and domestic science department in the basement. The style of architecture is classical. Gives Up Cash County Clerk W. B. Williams yesterday turned $284 into the county treasury. This was half the amount received in fees for naturalization papers during the last seven years. The law allowing Superior Courts to handle naturalization matters states that the county clerk shall receive half of the fees, which are $1 for first papers and $4 for final papers. The United States Supreme Court in a case against the county clerk of San Francisco has decided that the clerk shall not keep the fees, that they belong to the county. Boy Vag Arrested Shelley Storey, a boy of 16, was arrested for vagrancy last Saturday, and has been in jail ever since. Friday he was before Judge Cox, with Probation Officer Scott examining him, and he told so many contradictory stories, and did not remember so many vital things in his home life, that it was deemed best to hold him until his people could be communicated with. He is too bright a boy to be allowed to run with hoboes, and this is surely what would become of him if he were allowed to go. He claims that his parents live in Los Angeles, but he was very reticent when it came to telling just where development of restricted residence districts in Berkeley and in San Francisco, on wise building restrictions for residence quarters in cities and towns; George W.

Fifteen experts in various fields will come to the university to discuss the problem of how cities may plan wisely for their future. That there will be two million people in San Francisco and two million in Los Angeles before another generation goes by, and that the other chief towns and cities of California are destined to grow in some such surprising way, is predicted by competent and conservative experts. So it is suggested by the lecturers of this course that as a matter of plain business self-protection California towns should now, while land is cheap, acquire ample areas for schools, school gardens, public playgrounds where young and old may have healthful outdoor recreation, parks, plazas, agricultural school farms, and civic centers; provide for harbor and transportation problems, plenty of room for street-car and railway facilities, factory and warehouse areas; broad traffic streets, linking different portions of a scattered community, provision for both express and local street-car service between neighboring regions, preservation of natural landscape features, etc. It pays to do city-planning with fore-sight, the university holds, for such work not only adds to the comfort, health, and convenience of the inhabitants of a town, but actually saves the community enormous sums, through preventing the excessive cost of making changes when it is too late to do things economically and well. Civic beauty is only one side of the city planning problem—an infinitely important aspect is to protect the health, the comfort, and the well-being of the home-dwellers of future generations. Wise building restrictions need to be developed. Every community needs a city-planning commission which shall see to it that the town develops wisely instead of just "happening," which protects the beauty and Shelley Storey, a boy of 16, was arrested for vagrancy last Saturday, and has been in jail ever since.

Huntington Beach Booming Business in real estate in 1913 is reported by all the real estate men as the liveliest in the history of the town. But since the first of the year business seems likely to develop into a rush. Land seekers and lot buyers have been coming in in unprecedented numbers. Huntington Beach has gone through the storm and high tides with absolutely no damage. Never before has the population appreciate d so fully the advantages of the town's location, on a bluff 25 to 40 feet above the ocean, but while the great river valleys were flooded, there was no damage whatever done to the farms and homes on the table land about Huntington Beach. Auto Accident Because the steering knuckle of the Ford car broke Saturday night and the car became unmanageable William Anderson and Herbert Benedict of Fullerton are laid up for repairs at the Whittier hospital. The accident occurred about 1 o'clock Saturday on the county road, about two miles east of Fullerton. Telephone messages to a garage took aid to the injured men and they were brought to the hospital. Broken ribs for Anderson and a broken collar bone for Benedict are the principal injuries. Two other men were in the car when the accident happened, but they escaped without serious injury. They were E. W. Elmore and Roy Wilhite, also of Fullerton.

Fred Kelley, world's ler, will not be an entitleic races to be held April 25, by the University vania. Kelly stated that track team will not lead until the latter part of June. If he left miss a large part of his that a local packing house is needed. Great quantities of walnuts go out to be packed at other places, which might just as well be handled there. The orange is coming to its own in the Garden Grove section as never before and should be handled at home. Beans could also be handled and fitted for the market where they are grown, say the Groveites. It has been suggested that the Santa Fe railway be asked to run a spur track across from near Anaheim to tap the whole section and also go down toward Huntington Beach after the celery and sugar beets. One point raised against a packing house is that there are better freight facilities and rates elsewhere, but it has been urged that this can be overcome by the right methods. Married Sixty Years Rev. and Mrs. W. L. Wilhite celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage recently at the home of their eldest daughter, Mrs. J. C. Hartman of 4129 North Griffith avenue, Los Angeles. Mr. Wilhite was born in Boliver, Tenn., in 1834, and Mrs. Wilhite in Keetsville, Mo., in 1829. They crossed the plains in 1857 and endured many hardships and struggles. They made their home in the northern part of this state until 1873. Since then they have resided in Santa Ana. Eight of their ten children are living—also thirty-five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Mr. Wilhite is the only living charter member of the Masonic order in Santa Ana. The children are Mrs. J. C. Hartman, Mrs. G. A. Roeben, Mrs. I. M. Ebright, Mrs. G. A. Axelson, of Santa Ana, W. L. Wilhite of Elsinore, S. C. Wilhite of San Pedro, Mrs. C .A. Hamaker of Santa Ana, and Mrs. C. W. Harthorn of Fillmore, Ventura county. There were thirty-three relatives present at the celebration. Republicans to Meet The Republican County Central Committee—real Republicans—is going to hold a meeting at the city hall, Santa Ana, at 2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, February 7, for the purpose of reorganizing for the work of the party FARM ADVISER NEW STUNT BY COLLEGE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA ESTABLISHING EXPERTS IN EACH COUNTY IN STATE OBJECT IS TO KEEP AGRICULTURISTS POSTED ON BEST CROPS FOR SOIL (By B. H. Crocheron, State Leader.) For something over half a century the agricultural colleges, the experiment stations, and the national department of agriculture have been investigating questions of material interest to the farmers of America and have accumulated a vast mass of information which, if it could be engrafted on the practice of the open country, would undoubtedly result in a great increase of our material prosperity not only through a larger production per acre, but by an increased net return to the individual farmer. Much of this agricultural information, however, has been in such form that it was difficult for farmers to obtain it, or, indeed, to know of it and its practical application to their individual farms. The material was embodied in agricultural reports and bulletins which treated the facts in a broad sense, but there were few agencies at work and few men available to make the specific application to the problem at hand. It has been said that the agricultural institutions of the country are like a great manufactory grinding out a product of infinite value which has been stored in warehouses far from the consumer that the product was designed to reach. Lacking a retail force of his salary. About two thousand dollars a year is estimated to be necessary in most cases for the expenses of the farm adviser. These mean the maintenance of an office and office facilities, the use of a small automobile for travel within the county, and the subsistence of the farm adviser while away from home. As the value of a farm adviser increases greatly as he becomes more familiar and expert on the problems of the county, it is highly desirable that the work be made permanent and that no county should start such an adviser at work without funds in sight for his expenses for at least three years and the money actually in hand for his first year of work. Two thousand dollars, then, should be raised by the county, with pledges for four thousand dollars to follow at the rate of two thousand dollars a year, if the work is to be a success. Since the farm adviser represents the College of Agriculture and the United States Department of Agriculture, which treat only with the whole people, and since the permanence of the work is highly desirable for efficiency, the best means for the contribution of funds for the expenses of the county adviser is through the county supervisors, because public taxation is more permanent than any other fund and represents all the people. While this means of contribution may not be possible at the inauguration of the work, it is desirable in all counties that a sufficiently large number of persons should be interested by direct or indirect contribution so as to insure a backing for the farm adviser and a real demand for his work. Because the funds available from the College of Agriculture for farm advisers are limited at present by the heavy demands of other work, farm advisers will be placed in those counties that first qualify by a deposit of two thousand dollars with some responsible party within the county. In order to facilitate the work of the farm adviser and to conserve his time as much as possible, it is desirable that some permanent organization be in admission with him regarding problems of the county.

Republicans to Meet The Republican County Central Committee—real Republicans—is going to hold a meeting at the city hall, Santa Ana, at 2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, February 7, for the purpose of reorganizing for the work of the party in this county in 1914. Two years ago, when the "Progressives" took control of the Central Committee, the Republicans declined to be ousted, and a committee of real Republicans was organized immediately. Secretary J. C. Burke of that committee will call the committee together for Saturday of next week for the election of officers and the filling of vacancies that may exist. The committee will then be in shape to look after public speaking and the interests of the party in this county. The registration figures so far indicate that the Republican registration will be as much as that of the "Progressives," Democrats and Socialists combined. Deeds Water Frontage James Irvine, owner of the Irvine ranch, which adjoins Newport Bay, held a conference with a committee from the Board of Trustees consisting of Trustees Parkinson, Collins and Way, of Newport Beach, and one from the Chamber of Commerce, consisting of W. W. Wilson, Lew H. Wallace, F. W. Beckwith and W. A. Cornelius, in regard to donating a quarter of a mile of water frontage to the city of Newport Beach in the event that the city votes and expends $100,000 on a jetty at the entrance to Newport Bay. Irvine agreed to the proposition, and there remains only the conditions to be worked out to the satisfaction of both sides. He will probably put the deed in escrow for two years contingent on the spending of the money for the jetty, in which event the harbor frontage would, by a clause in the deed, become the property of the city forever and could not be disposed of or used for any other than for wharfage purposes. LA FOLLETTE COMES BACK TO THE FOLD Endorses Reorganization of Republican Party in California In a telegram addressed to Rudolph Spreckels and the Republican Progressive League, United States Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin has wired his endorsement of the movement to establish progressive control of the Republican party of California. The message follows: "Rudolph Spreckels, "Republican Progressive League, "San Francisco, Calif." "I congratulate you on the splendid that it was difficult for farmers to obtain it, or indeed, to know of it and its practical application to their individual farms. The material was embodied in agricultural reports and bulletins which treated the facts in a broad sense, but there were few agencies at work and few men available to make the specific application to the problem at hand. It has been said that the agricultural institutions of the country are like a great manufactory grinding out a product of infinite value which has been stored in warehouses far from the consumer that the product was designed to reach. Lacking a retail force of agents, this product continued to accumulate without greatly affecting the consumer and his wants. These agricultural agents are now being established throughout the nation under the name of "County Farm Advisers." They act as the necessary force to bring the information of the agricultural colleges, experiment stations, and national department of agriculture to the specific farmer who needs it. Some one hundred and eighty counties in the United States now have farm advisers at work, and but recently the first one of these in California has been placed in Humboldt county. A farm adviser is a man trained in agriculture, usually a graduate of an agricultural college, who has had some practical experience in the broad phases of agriculture, and who should, if possible, be conversant with the particular problems that concern the locality in which he is placed. Because his work depends so much for its results on the enthusiasm that he can infuse into others he must be a man of tact, of energy, and of real desire to achieve results in his chosen field. The farm adviser is an agent both of the College of Agriculture of the University of California and of the Office of Farm Management, United States Department of Agriculture. He is placed in a county where his services are desired. His entire time and activity are spent there within the boundaries of that county. There he is the field agent of the agricultural forces of the nation. The problem of the farm adviser is to reach those who desire his services. He gives advice on soil treatment, fertilization, crop adaptation and culture, animal husbandry and its allied phases. In general, he studies various activities of the farm that are known under the head of farm management and demonstrates his better methods on the farms of those interested persons who desire to co-operate with him. As he is occupied in the increase of net returns to the farmer he is also desirous of improving those civilizing forces of the open country that come under the head of better roads, schools, churches, farmers' organizations, and marketing facilities. The farm adviser has an office or headquarters at some central point in the county, usually at the county seat. He may also, through the organization of the farm bureau, find it desirable to have other local or district headquarters at scattered places through the county. But necessary as are his offices and headquarters little of his time is spent Good roads work in this county will be delayed two or three weeks because the county's rock crusher at McPherson was put out of commission by the storm. A large amount of silt was washed over the gravel bed. The Southern Pacific branch will not be used for several days, repairs being necessary. GRIFFITH LUMBER CO. So. Los Angeles St. Anything in the Building Line COME AND SEE US HENRY M. ADAMS, Manager Endorses Reorganization of Republican Party in California In a telegram addressed to Rudolph Spreckels and the Republican Progressive League, United States Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin has wired his endorsement of the movement to establish progressive control of the Republican party of California. The message follows: "Rudolph Spreckels, 'Republican Progressive League, 'San Francisco, Calif. 'I congratulate you on the splendid progress which you are making, and your fixed determination to keep free from all alliance with untrustworthy leaders or mere office seekers. 'Your plan of reorganization is essentially right and sound in principle. Wherever there have been recent party registrations, or recent elections have been held, with scarcely a single exception, the evidence is unmistakable that the third party vote was a transitory protest. 'Ninety per cent of all the progressive legislation, both state and national, has been written into statute law by progressive Republicans. Progressive Republican states led the way. Progressive Republican leaders nationalized the movement by forcing the issue in the United States senate and house of representatives, and by first challenging the reactionary leadership in the Republican party. 'Progressive Republicans constitute an overwhelming majority of the rank and file of the Republican party. This majority, acting together, can insure progressive Republican control and leadership in every state. 'I trust you will succeed in making the Republican party in California represent the progressive majority of the party. It will furnish a splendid object lesson to the other states. It is a great national service. "ROBERT M. LA FOLLETTE." Fred Kelley, world's champion hurler, will not be an entrant in the athletic races to be held at Philadelphia, April 25, by the University of Pennsylvania. Kelly stated that the U. S. C. track team will not leave for the East until the latter part of May or the first of June. If he left earlier he would miss a large part of his college work. The farm adviser has an office or headquarters at some central point in the county, usually at the county seat. He may also, through the organization of the farm bureau, find it desirable to have other local or district headquarters at scattered places through the county. But necessary as are his offices and headquarters, little of his time is spent there. His work is on the farms and among the people. Day by day the farm adviser goes where he is called, advising on the various questions that come to him. When, as is sometimes the case, he meets a problem that to him is impossible of solution because of the technical phases involved he submits it for consideration to the agricultural college or to the federal department of agriculture, the forces of both of which he has at his command. Specifically, the work of the farm adviser may be divided into four general branches, as follows: 1) Investigation or research into the larger problems of farm management as applied to that specific community. 2) Demonstration or application of these principles and practices through the co-operation of interested farmers. 3) Advisory work with inquirers, that is, the answering of questions and giving of advice to those who apply. 4) Organization work of the civilizing forces of the community—assistance to boys' agricultural clubs, farmers' organizations, schools, churches and marketing, and buying organizations. The work of the farm adviser is supervised by a state leader, appointed jointly by the College of Agriculture and the United States Department of Agriculture, to whom he makes weekly reports. The farm adviser's salary is paid by the College of Agriculture of the University of California. His expenses are paid by local agencies within the county. As the farm adviser is constantly traveling from place to place within the county his expenses are heavy, comparatively speaking, and usually amount to about as much as WE SELL SLASH GRAIN PINE INTERIOR FINISH—SANDPAPERED because it lends itself to so many beautiful and artistic interior effects.

The MUST REGISTER NAMES Persons engaged in business under a name other than their own must register an official record with the legalized authorities and make the same public by publication. The law provides that every partnership transacting business in this state under a fictitious name, or designation not showing the names of the persons interested as partners in such business, must file with the clerk of the county in which its principal place of business is situated, a certificate stating the names in full of all the members of such partnership and their places of residence, and must publish the same once a week for four successive weeks in a newspaper published in the county, if there be one, and if there be none in such county, then in a newspaper published in an adjoining county. The certificate must be signed by the partners, and acknowledged by them, and must be published within one month after the formation or commencement of the partnership. A new certificate must be made and published whenever there is a change in the membership of the partnership. No person, doing business under a fictitious name, or his assignee or assignees nor any persons doing business as partners contrary to the provisions of this law, or their assignee or assignees, shall maintain any action upon or on account of any contract or contracts made or transactions had, under the fictitious name, or in their partnership name, in any court of this state until the certificate has been filed and the publication has been made as herein required. WITHSTANDS FROST In discussing the different varieties of the avocado, the California Cultivator says: The thin-skinned type as a whole is somewhat more hardy, but the freeze of last winter showed many of the thick-skinned type to be just as hardy as the thin-skinned. The famous Taft tree of Orange and several of the thick-skinned type on that place, went through without turning a leaf and had no protection whatever. Guavas close by were frozen to the ground and cherimoyas were frozen clear back to the main trunk. The oldest avocado in California, a thin-skinned variety, was so badly frozen that it was able to bear only one fruit this year. THE DRAIN OF ARMIES The increased armament of France has resulted in a treasury deficit for the current year of $200,000,000 and an estimated deficit for the pending year of $90,000,000. This is irrespective of the millions expended in Morocco. The government, having adjusted all other measures of taxation, and not being encouraged by the bankers of Europe to believe that a new loan can be negotiated, has concluded to follow the example of Germany and levy a special tax on fortunes. Seven hundred thousand able-bodied Frenchmen are withdrawn from productive industries and kept idle in barracks and camps at an annual cost to the taxpayers of $150,000,000. Germany has 600,000 soldiers maintained at a cost of $120,000,000 per annum, and Great Britain maintains 600,000 soldiers at an annual cost of $275,000,000. These three leading countries of Europe, with a population of 140,000,000 people, have armies aggregating 1,700,000 men, maintained at a cost of $545,-000,000, while the United States, with 100,000,000 people, maintains only about 80,000 soldiers at a cost of less than $80,000,000. There is some advantage to a nation in being ocean-bound.
