The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR...$1.50 SIX MONTHS ...$1.00 THREE MONTHS ...$ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. CALIFORNIA VOTE 1,045,830 President Wilson's plurality in California was 3773 votes, according to semi-official figures announced by Secretary of State Jordan. The figures include the vote of Orangethorpe precinct in this county, which was obtained by taking the returns posted upon the door of the voting booth. These will be mailed to the secretary of state, thus avoiding the necessity of opening the sealed returns to secure the vote. The president's plurality represents the difference between the vote of 466,289 for Francis J. Heney, highest democratic elector, and that of 462,516 for J. F. Carlston, highest republican. To be made finally official, these figures must be certified by the secretary of state. This was done Monday. Returns announced also show that Amendment No. 1 on the ballot, providing total prohibition, was defeated by 106,967 votes, while Amendment No. 2, for partial prohibition, lost by 50,320 votes. On Amendment No. 1 the vote was: Yes, 424,090; no, 533,876. On Amendment No. 2 the vote was: Yes, 449,321; no, 499,651. These figures do not show the vote of Orangethorpe precinct, where it is understood 211 votes were cast. The total vote of the state, semi-official figures alone... Amendment No. 1 on the ballot, providing total prohibition, was defeated by 106,967 votes, while Amendment No. 2, for partial prohibition, lost by 50,320 votes. On Amendment No. 1 the vote was: Yes, 424,090; no, 533,-876. On Amendment No. 2 the vote was: Yes, 449,321; no, 499,651. These figures do not show the vote of Orangethorpe precinct, where it is understood 211 votes were cast. The total vote of the state, semi-official figures place at 1,045,830, out of a registration of 1,314,446. Seventy-nine per cent of California's registered voters cast their ballots. Thomas J. Walsh and E. D. Moore, who watehed the official canvass for the democratic state central committee, pointed out that, while George S. Patton, democratic candidate for United States senator, was overwhelmingly beaten by Gov. Johnson, whose plurality was 296,798, Patton's vote was within 2127 of that by which James D. Phelan was elected two years ago. Pattons vote was 277,769. Phelan's vote in 1914 was 279,896. SENATORIAL VOTE SHORT Semi-official returns compiled in the secretary of state's office show that 76,258 California electors who voted for Hughes or Wilson failed to vote for either Johnson or Patton for United States senator. The total Hughes and Wilson vote was 928,594 votes, that of Johnson and Patton was 852,336. This discrepancy of more than 76,-000 votes is unprecedented. It is occasioning considerable comment. Various explanations are advanced, but none of them seems wholly to satisfy. In Los Angeles county alone the Hughes and Wilson vote was 23,000 greater than that cast for Johnson and Patton. Gov. Johnson's friends assert that this is because several thousand regulars would not vote for Senator at all. But this does not explain the discrepancy in San Francisco and Alameda counties. An analysis of the vote for United States senator reveals that it was in San Francisco and Sacramento that Gov. Hughes was betrayed and that the betrayal took place in districts where the vote of state employees is greatest. Los Angeles county gave Johnson 142,000 votes and Hughes 135,000, but San Francisco gave Johnson 104,574 and Hughes but 63,131.

Is the Poultry Show AT SANTA ANA An analysis of the vote for United States senator reveals that it was in San Francisco and Sacramento that Gov. Hughes was betrayed and that the betrayal took place in districts where the vote of state employees is greatest. Los Angeles county gave Johnson 142,000 votes and Hughes 135,000, but San Francisco gave Johnson 104,574 and Hughes but 63,131. In the Fourth congressional district of San Francisco, the republican stronghold there, Gov. Johnson did not have a great lead over the candidate for president, but in the Fourth San Francisco district where the pay roll brigade resides, Johnson received more than three votes for every one cast for Hughes. A similar condition exists in Sacramento. In the boarding house precincts, where the state employee vote, Wilson led Hughes more than two to one. In some of these, half the votes are cast by state employees. The lead of Johnson over Hughes in Sacramento, where but 20,000 votes were cast, is about the same as in Los Angeles county with its 250,000 votes. Dr. M. M. Henderson.

ANAHEIM PEOPLE ARE RESPONDING TO CALL Money Being Subscribed for Relief of Germanic Widows and Orphans The appeal sent forth by Ambassador Gerard for money to relieve the sufferings of the starving widows and orphans in Germany and Austria-Hungary who have been left helpless and destitute by the war, has reached Anaheim, and the people are responding to the call. A committee with headquarters in Los Angeles is endeavoring to raise $70,000 as a Thanksgiving offering. This is an insignificant sum for prosperous Southern California to raise, and it should be subscribed in a day. In Anaheim subscriptions will be received at H. A. Dickel's, Wm. Falkenstein's, the First National Bank and the Anaheim National bank. Open your purses and contribute something to the relief of the suffering women and children who are crying to the civilized world for bread. DEVELOPMENTS IN THE OIL FIELDS REMARKABLE ACTIVITY REPORTED AMONG THE DERRICKS IN ORANGE COUNTY PAST WEEK WAS A RECORD BREAKER IN PRODUCTION OF OIL Development work in the local field continues with remarkable activity considering the high prices of oil well supplies and well drilling equipment. A general survey of the entire field shows every operating company at work, and not a few are doing a lot of new work. The week just closed witnessed a number of new wells started and a record breaking increase in the field's production. The price of crude oil in the local field now runs all the way from 73 cents a barrel to $1.07 a barrel, depending on the gravity. This price accompanied by the constant demand for the crude and the stability of the gasoline market is believed to be a satisfactory explanation of the strong oil activity in the Fullerton-Brea oil fields. As for the gasoline outlook, no great decrease in the price can be looked for. As long as the war orders hold out and the increasing home demand exists the price will remain the same. The only factor that will bring the price down appreciably will be the discovery of larger amounts of light oil in the southern area.

On the Hualde lease the Amalgamated Oil company have No. 8 down 3300 feet. At No. 9 a test for water after cementing is being made. The finding of the water shut off successfully will start drilling on the well immediately. Hualde No. 10 was put on the beam Friday and is now doing 400 barrels of nice light oil. Hualde No. 23 was put on the beam early in the week, but no satisfactory production figures are available as yet. These two wells are the Amalgamated's contribution to the field's production for the week. The same company is rigging up No. 26 and will commence drilling there in a few days. On the Anaheim Union lease the Amalgamated are ready to put No. 6 on the pump. This well has been redrilling for some little time. On the same lease No. 30 stands cemented and No. 40 is drilling at 3380. The Birch Oil company are getting down deep with their No. 10 well. The tools are drilling at 4200 feet. Birch No. 10 promises to be one of the deep wells of the district. A fishing job at No. 11 is delaying progress somewhat. No. 12 is showing up better than last reported. The amount of water is gradually decreasing and the oil output increasing. No. 13 is drilling in hard sand at 2390. Good progress has been made at No. 14. The well is now close to 500 feet with the 20-inch casing going into the hole. The Brea Canyon Oil company will put No. 22 on the beam before the close of the week making the district's third producing well for the week.

The Fullerton Oil company is continuing work on their No. 10 and report conditions better this week. Although drilling on iron good headway is being made. No. 12 now stands at 3800 and will be added to the production list in a short time. The management anticipate a good well at No. 12. The Standard Oil company on the Emery lease have four wells drilling and two new rigs. The new wells will be known as Nos. 31 and 32. The Emery lease is regarded as deep territory, few of the wells are completed at a depth of less than from trirty-six to thirty-eight hundred feet. The quality of the oil on this lease is good, the average gravity being 25 Baume. On the Murphy lease the Standard has six wells drilling and two new rigs for new work to commence on. The average depth of the Standard's wells on the Murphy lease is 3800. The gravity of the oil is higher than the Emery property by an average of three points, the figure being 28 Baume. The Murphy produces the bulk of the Fullerton field's light oil. The Whittier lease is being developed with six strings of tools running. Nos. 36, 41, 42, 43, 44, and 45 are drilling. Rigs have been completed for numbers 46 and 47. Oil is found at a shallower depth on the Whittier lease, the prevailing depth of the wells being 3000 feet. The oil is not so light, 20 gravity being the average Deep wells have been drilled in the Whittier field but no deeper sands were struck. The Union Oil company is a close second to the Standard Oil company from the standpoint of development. The Union have 12 strings of tools running besides two rig building crews and a rigging up crew. On the Bastanchury lease two wells are drilling. No. 5 is 3400 and No. 6 is being rigged up for standard tools. On the Graham & Loftus lease the Union are abandoning No. 35, drilling at 38, 39, 40 and 41. No. 50 has been cemented.

The company has their well down 2000 feet and everything is running good. The Gold Seal, a neighboring developing company have their initial well down 1200 feet. These two wells are being watched with intense interest as success means a great increase in the proven oil bearing area of the local field. Men whose opinions are valuable believe that oil will be found by the Chino Canyon developers. SPLENDID SHOW COMING TO THE NEW GRAND A Trip Through China to be Shown Tuesday and Wednesday One of the features which the New Grand is putting on for the entertainment of its patrons is "A Trip Through China," which will be shown Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 5 and 6. This show has been having a run at the Majestic in Los Angeles, and was highly spoken of by all the newspapers of the city. One of them said: Rare glimpses of what a nation of 400,000,00 persons is doing in a land that has always been enveloped in a strange romance all its own are afforded in "A Trip Through China," a travelogue de luxe in which human interest is the keynote. The picture is one of the best and most complete of its kind ever shown here. While it is perhaps preeminently a study of conditions, this phase is not insisted on, with the result that the film is vastly entertaining as well. Naturalness pervades the entire picture; there is little or no false posing before the camera. It is a varying panorama of life and movement as it exists in the Oriental country. Cities within cities are shown, houses huddled close upon one another; river boat houses packed together with a seemingly impossible tangle of masts; then palaces and great pagodas with carvings of marvelous intricacy, and above all the Great Wall extending over mountain peak to mountain peak, with the spirit of dead decay hanging about it. No scenes are more interesting The Brea Canyon Oil company will put No. 22 on the beam before the close of the week making the district's third producing well for the week. No. 22 is 3850 and has all the idifications of being a pretty fair well. No. 29 is drilling at 1300 feet. No. 30 is rigged up and will be started the latter part of the week. The Columbia Oil Producing company is busy on their No. 7 well in Brea Canyon. Drilling is going good at 1500 feet. In the Olinda field the company have No. 26 drilling around Anaheim Dry Goods Store Opera House Block We can and will save you money OnBlankets We have purchased the entire stock of Kneip's Grocery store Stockings and will save you from 5c to 10c a pair. Opera House Store A. E. Hiles, Prop. The Union Oil company is a close second to the Standard Oil company from the standpoint of development. The Union have 12 strings of tools running besides two rig building crews and a rigging up crew. On the Bastanchury lease two wells are drilling. No. 5 is 3400 and No. 6 is being rigged up for standard tools. On the Graham & Loftus lease the Union are abandoning No. 35, drilling at 38, 39, 40 and 41. No. 50 has been cemented. With the exception of No. 41 all the wells drilling on the Graham-Loftus are close to the 3000 foot mark and a few will be finished in a short time. The Hole lease the scene of last week's giant producer, is the center of activity on the south side of the field. Hole No. 8 is redrilling. Hole Nos. 9 and 11 are both in the oil sand at 3400 and will be finished at about the same time in a few days. Both wells are showing lots of oil and gas and will be gushers no doubt when finished.. No. 13 adjoining is 2960 feet deep and is showing an unusual amount of oil and gas for the depth, and will doubtless be a record producer. Hole 18 is being rigged up. No. 12, the big well brought in last week continues to hold up well in production. On the Naranjal lease the Union is drilling No. 6 and have reached the 1200 mark. No. 7 is drilling at better than 1200 feet. Naranjal No. 8 is ready to be rigged up, and at No. 10 the boilers are being installed. The Union Oil company started work on the Bixby lease at Santa Monica the first of the week. A rig building crew went down to Santa Monica from the Fullerton field to start the new well. Drillers and all other labor will be supplied from this point. The West Coast Oil company made good progress at No. 54, a depth of 1050 being reported. At No. 80 drilling is going good at 1550. A new rig exists in the Oriental country. Cities within cities are shown, houses huddled close upon one another; river boat houses packed together with a seemingly impossible tangle of masts; then palaces and great pagodas with carvings of marvelous intricacy, and above all the Great Wall extending over mountain peak to mountain peak, with the spirit of dead decay hanging about it. No scenes are more interesting though than the ones showing the struggling laborer at work carrying or hauling an inconceivably huge weight, the prison inmates forced to do even more arduous feats, the rivers of humanity in all too narrow streets. There are tombs of ancient kings with weird-looking graves and animals perched above them. There is a funeral procession with all its peculiar attendant customs, and again a wedding procession with views of strange ceremonies. The fearful havoc wrought by a typhoon, particularly amid the floating river homes, is the subject of another part of the picture. The film was secured by Benjamin Brodsky, who has been the pioneer of the picture business in China. Dr. Lawrence is bringing out the salient points very intelligently in his accompanying lecture. Mrs. C. E. Beringer was in town the first of the week bidding goodbye to her Anaheim friends. She leaves next week for Chicago where she will make her home with her daughter, Dr. Harriet Alexander. Her grandson, Lane Beringer, has secured a position in the auditor's office of the Santa Fe at Los Angeles. A safe deposit box in the average home is considered a necessity.
