NEWS NOTES OF COUNTY Driving Close to Jail:— On a charge of driving his automobile at the rate of 44 miles an hour along El Toro boulevard on Sunday M. Kauffman, of El Monte, appeared before Justice Cox Friday in company with Attorney R. Y. Williams, with whom he is well acquainted, and after pleading guilty to the charge was fined $20. The fine was paid. "You were getting mighty close to the danger mark," said Judge Cox in passing sentence. "Six more miles an hour and your fate would have been the same as Moon and Allen. Take warning, Mr. Kauffman, and hereafter remember when you reach Orange county," advised the justice. Not Protected by Game Law:— Officer Smithwick received a night phone call from a lady at Santa Ana Thursday night, and this is the record he left on the police blotter: "Lady says that a young man is on her front porch talking to her daughter and he will not go home although she has said everything possible to make him leave. She would not give her name, but will call later if he does not go. We advised her to drop a soft brick on his head, but she said she would rather shoot him. We gave her permission to do as we cannot find that 'these birds' are protected by the game laws of this district." The women did not call again so it is supposed at the marshal's office that the young man finally made up his mind to leave the scene. Wife Refuses to Desert Hubby:— Wednesday afternoon in justice court at Santa Ana Judge Cox held Ralph A. Mayson for preliminary hearing on October 4 at 1 o'clock un- 20 years old, escaped with slight injuries. She received a deep laceration over one eye and numerous bruises and cuts. The three are resting at the sanitarium. Mr. Jackson, manager and owner of the Penn Oil company of San Diego left that place early Sunday morning with his family to visit with his son C. S. Jackson, who lives in Los Angeles. Mr. Jackson is well known in San Diego, having lived there for 20 years. After reaching Brea, they drove to Olinda to inspect some oil property in which Jackson is interested and it was on the way back that the accident happened. The machine a heavy touring car, was traveling about twenty miles an hour. Jackson, at the wheel, reached down in the front of the car to upend an oil can which the motion of the car upset. It is believed a bump in the road tore the steering wheel from his grasp and started the car over the bank. Miss Jackson was employed in her father's office as stenographer. Her neck was broken and she was injured internally. Oil Developments:— Perhaps never before in the history of oil development of Orange county oil fields has there been as much new work planned, as many new wells brought in, and as many new rigs built and locations for new wells made as has been done in the week just closed. The Union Oil company, the second largest developer and producer in the field, leads all the companies with a total of five new wells located and a producing well of over 500 barrels in sight. The Standard Oil Company takes second place on the list with four new rigs in process of construction, and a 1000-barrel well on the Emery Just in. The West Coast comes in next with a new rig started and two additional locations made. The West Coast put a 500-bbl well on the beam. Former Santa Ana:— The body of Eupremor formerly of Santa Ana to death at Gila Beach, Los Angeles Saturday, was killed by Russellager of the Gila Lake company, with whom a quarrel over About five years family lived on Santa Ana, and Eupreme one time was a st Ana high school. U. S. C. and Harvard at 2656 Edendale and his father, Eupreme president of a Yunnan who killed young men to the Phoenix on $10,000 ball. New School Near:— Brea's new $60,000 building is nearing and will be ready for the first of the new pile of Brea and vi the new grammar when completed as equipped as any great entire state of California grammar school open an enrollment of 2 rollment is the land of the school. Fullerton Buys Cit Wife Refuses to Desert Hubby:— Wednesday afternoon in justice court at Santa Ana Judge Cox held Ralph A. Mayson for preliminary hearing on October 4 at 1 o'clock under ball of $1000 each to two charges of passing fictitious checks. Mayson was represented in court by Attorneys H. C. Head and W. F. Menton. Mrs. Dorothy Mayson, who was taken into custody with her husband, was released but is making her home at the county jail because of the fact that she is without funds and has no other place to go. Mayson was arrested Tuesday afternoon by Officer Joe Ryan while on a Los Angeles bound car which he had boarded at Fourth and Main streets shortly after his arrival from Orange where he had passed the alleged fictitious checks. Mayson is alleged to have passed fictitious checks at the K. E. Watson drug store and at the John Eggers' store in Orange. One was for $25 and the other for $20. He also attempted to pass a $25 check at F. E. Hallman's store, but the clerk declined to accept it. P. E. to Lower Track:— The Pacific Electric tracks at Garden Grove for a distance of 2400 feet will be lowered 3½ feet in the main part of town within the next few days. Euclid avenue crossing is the dividing line and the cut will be made 1200 feet on either side. This agreement was entered into Thursday afternoon by Mr. Wilder from the engineer’s office of the company, and a committee of citizens having the matter in charge. Mr. Wilder explained the details of the work and what would be expected from the people and the large number of representative citizens accepted the proposition by a unanimous rising vote. Wanted for Killing Sheep;— D. F. Anderson of Garden Grove, is wanted by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Owensmouth as a result of killing several sheep along the road due to reckless driving. There is no D. F. Anderson at Garden Grove, but there largest developer and producer in the field, leads all the companies with a total of five new wells located and a producing well of over 500 barrels in sight. The Standard Oil Company takes second place on the list with four new rigs in process of construction, and a 1000-barrel well on the Emery just in. The West Coast comes in next with a new rig started and two additional locations made. The West Coast put a 500-bbl. well on the beam. The Santa Fe Oil company commenced drilling one new well. The Columbia Oil Producing company will have a producing well on the pump before the week closes. A survey of the local field reveals the startling and interesting fact that during the past week fourteen locations for new wells have been made, ten new derricks have been built and three wells have been added to the list of producers. A number of companies have raised the employes’ wages, one big company has made arrangements to have its employees share in the profits, and the price of crude oil is advancing slowly but steadily. The oil business in the Brea and Fullerton field is in a most flourishing condition at the present time, and judging from the amount of new work planned and under way, business is to continue firm. Very little wild-catting is being done, all the companies developing along substantial lines, and the outlook promises to be the best the local field has had for a good many years. Mysterious Man Dead:— Carl Newman, who died Saturday at Patton, came to Westminster about twenty years ago. He was a junk dealer by trade and it was rumored that he was an anarchist on whose head the French government had set a price. He was nicknamed Billy Badger, which appellation he resented as an insult. His place of residence at one time, surrounded with his wares, was feaced in with barbed wire. Just inside the fence was posted this notice: "Kep out i not hom." During his residence there Newman occupied a number of places on the south side of town. Some time after the death of Mrs. Skelly, Newman was put in charge of the Skelly place, for which he was promised the deed to a town lot as remuneration. To this lot at the rear of the Skelly property he moved his shanty, where he lived until his largest developer and producer in the field, leads all the companies with a total of five new wells located and a producing well of over 500 barrels in sight. The Standard Oil Company takes second place on the list with four new rigs in process of construction, and a 1000-barrel well on the Emery just in. The West Coast puts a 500-bbl. well on the beam. The Santa Fe Oil company commenced drilling one new well. The Columbia Oil Producing company will have a producing well on the pump before the week closes.

Very little wild-catting is being done, all the companies developing along substantial lines, and the outlook promises to be the best the local field has had for a good many years. Owing to the showers, the worst season in the nation and central California Roy Headly reported to have inch in the centre occurring at this night are rapid and longer, mean fire season in forest service can reduce its summer without risk in ready in the back altitude with its lightness of travel even in the mer, a few lookout closed and boarded and the lookout may returning to their in the valleys. Tion, however, in nia forests where Wanted for Killing Sheep;— D. F. Anderson of Garden Grove, is wanted by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Owensmouth as a result of killing several sheep along the road due to reckless driving. There is no D. F. Anderson at Garden Grove, but there is a B. F. Anderson and he denies being the man wanted. Mr. Anderson declares he was not in the vicinity of Owensmouth on Sunday when the sheep are reported to have been killed. The sheep were being driven across the road from one pasture to another by Joe Petuya when the automobile approached. Petuya tried to signal the driver to stop but he refused to do so. Petuya was struck by the machine and thrown to the side of the road, the machine then plunging on among the sheep. The driver of the automobile failed to stop. Petuya secured the number of the car, but according to Mr. Anderson he evidently did not get the number correctly. Killed in Auto Accident:— Miss Pearl, Jackson, 27 years old, was instantly killed and her father, mother and sister, all of San Diego, were seriously injured Sunday afternoon when their automobile slipped off the Fifth avenue road, a mile east of Brea and plunged down a fifteen-foot embankment, pinning the entire family under it. J. H. Jackson, the father, received a compound fracture of the left arm and bruises and abrasions. Mrs. Jackson suffered a broken right arm, two fractured ribs and a severe laceration over one eye. Miss Illa Jackson one time, surrounded with his wares, was feared in with barbed wire. Just inside the fence was posted this notice: "Kep out if not hom." During his residence there Newman occupied a number of places on the south side of town. Some time after the death of Mrs. Skelly, Newman was put in charge of the Skelly place, for which he was promised the deed to a town lot as remuneration. To this lot at the rear of the Skelly property he moved his shanty, where he lived until his removal to Patton as an insane person. Makes Threshing Record:— William Wilson of the San Joaquin ranch, will have to go way back and sit down, so far as his record for a day's work with a bean thresher is concerned. H. Woodington, in charge of the thresher of the Golden West Celery and Produce company, is to the front with a better record. The honors are his, so far as has been reported. Wilson's record was made on the Lebard lease on the San Joaquin ranch, when 2346 sacks were turned out in 11½ hours on beans running a fraction over twenty sacks to the acre. Woodington's machine run 2466 sacks in twelve hours on a crop averaging fifteen sacks to the acre. Two lots were cleaned up in the day's run, the Wooley and Evans leases. The average per hour for Wilson was 204 sacks and for Woodington was 205 sacks. One sack per hour is not a very great gain, but when it is considered that the higher number of sacks was run on a crop averaging five sacks per acre less than the lower record, the achievement of Woodington stands out strong. Eucalyptus Oil plant:— Mrs. Alice Mahn of Bolsa has just completed the construction of a modone time, surrounded with his wares, was feared in with barbed wire. Just inside the fence was posted this notice: "Kep out if not hom." During his residence there Newman occupied a number of places on the south side of town. Some time after the death of Mrs. Skelly, Newman was put in charge of the Skelly place, for which he was promised the deed to a town lot as remuneration. To this lot at the rear of the Skelly property he moved his shanty, where he lived until his removal to Patton as an insane person. In the central part of the closing of the dependent on them about October 10, years continued October has carried about November mastic with te foot half inch of rain since the close of the first ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1916 ern eucalyptus oil distillery plant. The plant is of reinforced concrete throughout. It has a 40-horse power boiler and a 100-pound daily oil capacity. The distilling process is of the latest Australian method. After the oil is extracted from the leaves they are used for fuel in the plant. All the oil product of the plan has been contracted. Former Santa Ana Boy Killed:— The body of Eugene Caruthers, 27, formerly of Santa Ana, who was shot to death at Gila Bend, Ariz., arrived in Los Angeles Saturday morning. Details of the tragedy show that Caruthers was killed by Russell T. Johnson, manager of the Gila Land & Water company, with whom Caruthers had had a quarrel over a boundary line. About five years ago the Caruthers family lived on East Fourth street, Santa Ana, and Eugene Caruthers at one time was a student in the Santa Ana high school. Later he went to U. S. C. and Harvard. His parents live at 2656 Edendale place, Los Angeles, and his father, E. G. Caruthers, is president of a Yuma bank. The man who killed young Caruthers was taken to the Phoenix jail. He is now out on $10,000 ball. New School Near Completion:— Brea's new $60,000 grammar school building is nearing completion rapidly and will be ready for occupancy about the first of the new year. The people of Brea and vicinity are proud of the new grammar school as it will be when completed as fine and as well equipped as any grammar school in the entire state of California. The Brea grammar school opened the 18th with an enrollment of 255 pupils. The enrollment is the largest in the history of the school. Fullerton Buys City Hall Site:— CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY IN THE OIL REGION New Land Being Prospected and Developments Expected Within the last ten days the entry of Standard oil to the vicinity of the Dominguez ranch well of the Highland Development, has raised a large amount of excitement in that section. Everybody has been bustling for leases in the Dominguez area. They all like the Standard company, and in the present case there is more eagerness being displayed than has been witnessed in the south since the Standard came into the local field along in 1910-11 and started the development of then unproven areas which have since turned into some of the greatest of the state's oil bearing lands. The Dominquez well of the Highland has set the town of Long Beach talking and there is the rising hope among its people that they may yet be added to the list of oil centers, sharing an industrial and commercial glory with that of nation wide reputation as a pleasure resort. Long Beach people in associate with oil men of Los Angeles have formed a company and are going to drill on Signal Hill near the city of Long Beach. It is out toward the Bixby ranch house on the top of the Mesa and not far from the road traversed by people going by auto from Brea over to Los Alamitos road to Long Beach. Amalgamated is understood to have practically closed for Bixby ranch leases in the vicinity of Redondo while other Bixby ranch leases back toward Anaheim from the Signal Hill location are also said to have been negotiated for by operating interests. In all there is a very decided stir on and a great deal of interest being manifested. Slip a few Prince smokes into your own, but you know that smoke your fill without it proves out every hour Prince Albert has always without coupons or prefer to give quality! There's sport smoking a pity your own, but you know that to have the right tobacco Prince Albert will bang this open for you to come in on firing up every little so often... Fullerton Buys City Hall Site:— From a half dozen properties offered as sites for a city hall, the city council Tuesday night selected the Conrad Wagner property, corner Whiting and Spadra avenues. The property has a frontage of 140 feet on the west side of Spadra avenue. The price is $7000. The price agreed upon for the Wagner property was $70 a front foot. Mrs. Wagner, however, agreed to trade seventy-five feet of her property for a lot of equal frontage which the city owns across the street and adjoining the Christian church, reducing the frontage to be paid for, to 100 feet. The frontage of the property on Whiting avenue is 140 feet. Across the alley from it, the city owns a lot with a seventy-five foot frontage and this will probably be utilized when a city hall is built. RAIN DAMPENS FOREST FIRES Owing to the recent wide-spread showers, the worst of the forest fire season in the national forests of northern and central California is now over, according to Assistant District Forester Roy Headly. The precipitation reported to have totaled almost an inch in the central California forests, occurring at this season when the nights are rapidly becoming colder and longer, means that the peak of the fire season is past and that the forest service can now commence to reduce its summer protection force without risk in many localities. Already in the back country where high altitude with its scarcity of brush and lightness of travel, means low fire hazard even in the middle of the summer, a few lookout houses have been closed and boarded up for the winter, and the lookout men and patrolmen are returning to their winter employment in the valleys. This is not the situation, however, in the Southern California forests where the high point in the fire season is not reached until the by auto from Brea over to Los Alamitos road to Long Beach. Amalgamated is understood to have practically closed for Bixby ranch leases in the vicinity of Redondo while other Bixby ranch leases back toward Anaheim from the Signal Hill location are also said to have been negotiated for by operating interests. In all there is a very decided stir on and a great deal of interest being manifested. Oil men are us usual loth to venture an opinion of definite sort on what the outcome may be in this wild-catting country. However, it is conceded that there has for a long time been a considerable amount of ground for the expectation that in due time operators would come upon another oil belt in Los Angeles and Orange counties, possibly paralelling Whittier and Brea fields, between these and the ocean. It may be that this development is now at hand. Should it succeed, the theory of not a few that there is a paralleling oil belt to the east of this field as well as to the west, more or less following the contour of the ocean line, as is the case on the Atlantic coast, will be given increased strength, leading to greater research. How far back this further east belt may be is altogether problematical, say the supporters of the theory that it exists. It may have the West Virginia distance of the eastern fields back from the coast line, or it may be the Indiana, or in the language of the Arkansas traveler, "It may be either lesser or more or 'tuther one." THE EFFECT OF JITNEYS Jitney bushes have now been long enough in use to demonstrate the effect. This is easiest to observe in the larger cities. In a year, with population growing, the electric lines of the state have lost $3,250,000, measured by the figures of the year before. The receipts of the Los Angeles railway fell off $750,000, those of the Pacific Electric $400,000. The United Railways of San Francisco lost $1,000,000. In Los Angeles the city is paid a percentage of gross receipts of the local lines. The loss to the city last year was $30,000. That is to say, the jitneys are undermining vested interests. The question is whether this inures to the public benefit. The question also of more fairness has to be considered. Carrier companies PEACE AND PROSPERITY It is quite evident that peace and prosperity are to be the chief "talking points" of the democratic orators in this campaign. That keynote was sounded at the national convention in St. Louis, and now, as the campaign progresses, it is being piped shrilly by every spellbinder of the party. It is counted upon to influence the unthinking or the superficial thinkers among the voters. The claim that "Wilson kept us out of war" is equivalent to the assertion that if it had not been for Wilson we would have been at war. They would have the voters believe that it is due to Wilson that we are at peace, by which course, they mean that we are not in actual and murderous conflict with another nation. We have invaded Mexico twice, and Vera Cruz and Carrizal were not sham battles for friendly practice in military evolutions. We have what is for us a great army arrayed upon Mexican border, and a considerable body of troops within Mexican territory. But still, for the purposes of euphemism in politics they say we are at peace, rolling their eyes heavenward, as if to indicate that the White House is in that direction and uttering thanks to him "who kept us out of war." All this, as everyone knows who has given the matter a moment's thought is the grossest of hypocrisy. All the troubles we have had with Mexico in the last three years have been due to the blunders of Wilson. He did not keep us out of war with Mexico for there has never been the slightest chance of our getting into war with Mexico except through his officious interventions in Mexican affairs. Or without risk in many localities. Already in the back country where high altitude with its scarcity of brush and lightness of travel, means low fire hazard even in the middle of the summer, a few lookout houses have been closed and boarded up for the winter, and the lookout men and patrolmen are returning to their winter employment in the valleys. This is not the situation, however, in the Southern California forests where the high point in the fire season is not reached until the time of strong east winds—usually between October 1 and December 1. In the central and northern forests, the closing of the fire season, always dependent on the weather, is usually about October 10, but for the past two years continued dry, hot weather in October has carried the season on to about November 1. It is almost axiomatic with te forest officers that a half inch of rain after October 1 means the close of the fire season. INCREASE IN VALUATION The value of property in the state of California has increased $266,699,690 during the year 1916, according to the reports of the county auditors of the state, just compiled by State Controller John S. Chambers. The reports show the total value of the property in the state when the reports were furnished in June, 1916, to be $3,578,146,434 against $3,311,446,744 for 1915. One of the chief causes is the greater acrage of land assessed this year than last. In 1915 there were 46,412,143 acres assessed, while this year there were 49,255,160. The land was valued at $103,000,000. The total indebtedness of the counties of the state has increased about $4,000,000. In 1915 it was $62,628,614 and in 1916 $66,370,265. It is possible that the ultimate effect of the jitney is to be a change in the methods of urban travel. The time may come when cities no more will know the surface track and the overhead wire, or any other wire. That is in the future, anyhow. The carrier companies as now organized were organized to fit certain conditions, and there was an implied promise as to their treatment. For instance, one company having been accorded right-of-way on a certain street, could object to the granting of this same right to another company. Yet scores of jitneys may scurry up and down, and the company is powerless. A bank account may help to turn shadows into sunshine. Most people have rainy days some time. We welcome small accounts. The Anaheim National Bank. All this, as every one knows who has given the matter a moment's thought is the grossest of hypocrisy. All the troubles we have had with Mexico in the last three years have been due to the blunders of Wilson. He did not keep us out of war with Mexico for there has never been the slightest chance of our getting into war with Mexico except through his officious interventions in Mexican affairs. Ordinary common sensemanship would have kept us out of all trouble in that direction and preserved our self respect as well as the respect of Mexico. As to Germany, he could not have got us into war, as we have observed before, if he had tried with all his might to do so. He could have brought about a rupture of diplomatic relations, but war was impossible. Germany could not reach us and we could not reach Germany, unless we joined forces with the allies, an unthinkable thing. Not a shot could have been fired by us or at us. Moreover, Germany was determined not to have trouble with us. The claim that Wilson "kept us out of war" is utterly nonsensical. The claim to credit for prosperity is absolute mendacity. Unless the Wilson administration wishes to accept responsibility for the European war, it has had, and has, no more to do with prosperity than it has to do with the rising and setting of the sun. While its capacity for immeasurable mischief is recognized and admitted, it could not have prevented the coming of prosperity under the extraordinary conditions of the time, if it had exercised all its powers to that end. Whatever Mr. Wilson may have done for the country the maintenance of peace and the ceration of prosperity are not his handiwork.

Or MOUNTAIN LAUREL FOR PIPE MAKING California is Also Yielding Material Equal to the French Briar A sale of a large quantity of mountain laurel roots from one of the national forests in the southern Appalachians is reported by officials in charge, who say that the roots will be used to make pipes. The mountain laurel root is similar in appearance to the French briar, which the majority of pipe smokers are said to prefer. The French briar is the root of the white heath or "bruyere." These roots are gathered in large quantities and after being cleaned and sawed into blanks they are placed in hot water and simmered for twelve hours or more. This process gives them the rich hue for which the best pipes are noted. It is said that in 1915 the value of the blanks shipped to this country was almost $300,000, and in addition a large number of finished pipes were imported. On account of the present scarcity and high price of French briar, a number of pipe manufacturers in this county have been on the lookout for sub YOU WILL MAKE NO MISTAKE In sending your laundry work to us.

The claim that it of war" is utterly fit for prosperity is Unless the Wilwishes to accept re European war, it no more to do with has to do with the sun. While measurable mischief admitted, it could be the coming of prox extraordinary condition if it had exercised that end. Whatever have done for theance of peace and prosperity are not his cleaned and sawed into blanks they are placed in hot water and simmered for twelve hours or more. This process gives them the rich hue for which the best pipes are noted. It is said that in 1915 the value of the blanks shipped to this country was almost $300,000, and in addition a large number of finished pipes were imported. On account of the present scarcity and high price of French briar, a number of pipe manufacturers in this country have been on the lookout for substitutes, and the forest products laboratory has conducted experiments to determine the availability of other woods. It is reported that the mountain laurel root burns out more readily than briar, but forest experts are trying to find a method of hardening the wood, and have succeeded to an appreciable extent. They have also found that mountain mahogany, ceanothus, and manzanita, which are abundant in California, give promise of yielding material which will be the equal of French briar in every way. Other woods now widely used for pipe making are apple wood, red gum, ebony, and birch together with smaller amounts of olive wood, rosewood, and osage orange. Considerable amounts of the laurel roots are being used, and officials expect to make further sales. The lands purchased by the government in the Appalachians are reported to contain unlimited quantities of laurel, which is widely known for the delicate beauty of its flowers. In places it forms extensive thickets, which are almost impenetrable.
