LAW MAKERS ARE PEEVED Members of the state legislature who are holding fat appointive jobs are threatening to bring suit to test the validity of the amendment to the constitution voted by the people on November 7, which decrees that a man cannot hold a salaried state job while a member of either the assembly or the senate. There is no question as to the intent of the amendment or the intent of the voters who adopted it by a majority of a little more than two to one. But the holders of state sinecures are concerned a great deal more about their salaries than about the will of the people. It is all very well to assert that the people rule while the campaign is on; but when it comes to having the people rise up and pass legislation that separates good friends of the administration from $5000-a-year jobs, then it becomes a question of safety first. Twenty-eight members of the old legislature are directly affected; but there are twenty others who received occasional fees from state boards and commissions. The real number who were drawing pay from the state in addition to their salaries as members of the legislature is forty-five. Most of these declined to run for re-election, and most of those who did run were service as extensive as that in the whole kingdom of Greece. The largest number of manufacturing establishments are in New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Massachusetts, in the order named. Some large industrial plants have adopted a method of clearing their chimney stacks from soot with the aid of a charge of gunpowder. AT THE FAIRYLAND Patrons of the New Fairyland are being treated to some of the best shows ever produced on the screen, and the large attendance nightly indicates that they appreciate the performances. Tonight Marguerite Clark, one of the most popular actresses in picturedom will appear in "Little Lady Eileen". It is only natural and right that the irresistible little Marguerite Clark should bring "Little Lady Eileen" into existence on the screen, as she proves by her exquisite interpretation of the character of this happy mischievous, charming Irish girl in this delightful story of the elf spirits. Friday and Saturday Vivian Martin will be shown in "Her Father's Son." The sweet, winsomeness and endearing charm of Vivian Martin are alone enough to guarantee the worth of this production in which she is starred. Add to these a splendid story admirably suited to her wonderful personality and a combination is effected which will delight and entertain everyone. In "Her Father's Son" Miss Martin plays a dual role, both charming and exacting. Romance is cleverly interwoven with drama and fun in a story enacted in an atmosphere and locale of historic Southern chivalry and tradition. There are many phases of interest in this remarkable offering. OIL WORK Head Company The Head Drill de No. 26 has to be a world’s of hole made in monstrated to 8-hour shift for dressers on a vane.

BURGLED HIGH SCHOOL A burglar who broke into the Santa Ana high school building Saturday night stole about $26 in money and got away with a number of keys to rooms and lockers. The burglary was committed by someone who was thoroughly familiar with the place. That conclusion has been reached by the school authorities and City Marshal Jernigan. The thief broke a window into the hall, reached through and unlatched the window. Entrance was from the back of the building. Skeleton keys were probably used to open the doors into the offices. The roll top desks of Principal McMath and City Superintendent of Schools J. A. Cranston were opened with a jimmy, and the same instrument was used to pry open the money drawer in the office of the school clerk Mrs. Ellen Fields. From the clerk's cash drawer was taken $3.50 that belonged to the cafeteria department of the high school and $2.50 that belonged to Mrs. Fields. In this drawer Mrs. Fields kept a number of keys to inside schoolroom doors and to lockers. These keys were taken. From Principal McMath's desk, the thief got about $20.00. Recently the principal had collected nineteen $1 fees from teachers as enrollment fees in the California Teachers' Association. Of these, four were in checks, and the checks were not taken. Checks found in the cash drawer of the administration from previous jobs, then it becomes a question of safety first. Twenty-eight members of the old legislature are directly affected; but there are twenty others who received occasional fees from state boards and commissions. The real number who were drawing pay from the state in addition to their salaries as members of the legislature is forty-five. Most of these declined to run for re-election, and most of those who did run were beaten, so that the actual number of new members holding state positions is but eight. Two of these, Mouser and Lyon, are in Los Angeles. The country voters seem to have watched these pay-roll parasites closer than those of the city; not a member of the legislature from a country district, holding another state job, was re-elected. Only in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Alameda counties were they able to win. First is Miss Maartin as Frances, the only daughter of a poor planter. Then after her father's death she masquerades as Francis, a boy and goes to live with her father's brother, wealthy and proud. There Betty his only daughter almost falls in love with the pseudo Francis. Finally Francis still in the guise of a boy confronts her sweetheart Luit Harkness on the "field of honor" challenged after she had seemingly insulted him. His amazement at the discovery that she is Frances and not Francis and the thrilling climax to this original situation leave a pleasant sensation of thrill and delight. Sunday and Monday the principal feature is "The Rainbow Princess." Ann Pennington, the celebrated "Ziegfeld Follies" star, makes her second appearance in Famous Players productions on the Paramount Program in "The Rainbow Princess." In this picture the delightful little star has occasion to do a few scenes in a lion's cage, go up in a balloon and make a parachute descent with a dog, do several sideshow stunts in a circus and dance her famous "Hula Hula." These numerous and exciting scenes are linked together in a story of a wolf, found by a circus owner and forced to a hard life as general "hard-eat-stunt-girl" of the circus. The way she fell out of an unsafe balloon on to the home of a kind hearted old judge and brightened his life, replacing his own lost grandchild, is just the first link in the chain that held her life. Betrayed by the plotting old circus man, and beloved by the judge's real heir, a splendid young man, Hope finally forges the final link in the form of a circlet of gold. Miss Pennington is directed in this production by J. Searle Dawley and is ably supported by a star cast. BAD MAN ARRESTED A "bad hombre" became enmesh- IN THE WORLD OF INDUSTRY It is just a century since the first Great Lakes steamers were launched. The first dredge boat for gold built in the West was on the Feather river, near Oroville, Cal., in 1878. It has been found that the soap nut tree, which grows in India and also in Algiers, will thrive in Florida. The value of candy products manufactured in the United States has increased more than 100 per cent in the last ten years. The amount of life insurance in force in the United States is nearly three times that in all the countries of Europe combined. The consumption of wood in Canada for the manufacture of pulp has increased almost three-fold in the last eight years. A hotel now building in New York city will have a private telephone Betrayed by the plotting old circus man, and beloved by the judge's real heir, a splendid young man, Hope finally forges the final link in the form of a circlet of gold. Miss Pennington is directed in this production by J. Searle Dawley and is ably supported by a star cast. BAD MAN ARRESTED A "bad hombre" became enmeshed in the toils of the law Saturday afternoon when Serrero Martinez wanted on a charge of manslaughter, was taken into custody at Olive. The arrest was made by Constable Logan Jackson and Marshal H. A. Farrar of Orange. One officer went in the front door of the poolhall, and the other the rear door, taking the man by surprise, so he did not attempt to fight or escape. Three months ago Martinez shot another Mexican at Colton and became a fugitive. He was not caught, however, and on November 18, again at Colton, he cut a man's throat with a razor, and efforts to catch him were redoubled. The Colton chief of police received word that Martinez was at Olive and notified the Orange officers, who made the capture. Martinez had worked recently on a ranch at Olive, going under the name of Jill. In his pockets when captured were a number of .44 caliber cartridges and in his room at the Olive Hotel was found a razor. A letter from a friend, warning him to look out for the officers and stay away from Colton, was also found. Martinez is light complexioned, six feet tall, and with pock-marked face, so easily recognizable. It is said he confessed to the crimes. He was taken to the upper valley for trial Monday by Deputy Sheriff Berry of San Bernardino county. The Birch Canyon running four stairs slidering the deck pany is making resin.

The Head Co. spudded in on Hualde No. 26 at five o'clock last Saturday evening and at four o'clock Monday afternoon 1150 feet of hole had been made. For the 46 hours elapsing an average of 25 feet an hour had been made, and for speed the record stands out as one of the most remarkable ever made. The average depth made by the neighboring companies working 12-hour shifts is 100 feet a shift on starting a new well. The Head company with their average of 25 feet an hour would drill 330 feet in the time consumed by the neighboring concerns drilling 1-3 depth. The Head company uses five men to the tour, other companys use six men. The results figured down in cold numbers reveals the astounding and almost unbelievable fact that the Head Drilling company by using the 8-hour day is getting 200 per cent more work done at an increased expense of only 33 1-3 per cent for labor. The Head company has demonstrated to local oil men that by working eight hours the wells will be drilled a great deal faster than before. Under the 12-hour system about four hours is used up with slack work, and for the two tours means eight hours a day that is practically lost as far as making hole is concerned. A man in the first eight hours of the 12-hour tour makes his showing, the rest of the time is put in waiting for the next crew to come on tour. By working the three crews 8 hours each you have the work going ahead at top speed, no time is spent stalling around, and consequently the well will be drilled, and put to producing in a third of the time usually consumed. The three crew system means fresh men at work all the time making three showings a day instead of two. On the Murphy lease the Standard has six wells drilling and one well standing cemented. The wells drilling are 19, 21, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29. Activity is strong on the Murphy lease. On the Whittier lease the Standard finished No. 42, put it on the beam. The well is making 150 barrels of 15 gravity oil. Drilling is underway on Nos. 36, 41, 44, and 46. A new rig for No. 46 has been completed, and a grade made for No. 47. The Baldwin Hills property near Montebello is rapidly taking on the appearance of an oil region. The Standard's initial well is about ready to start, the rig being completed. The property recently purchased by the Standard from the Canadian Pacific is being cleaned up and developing work has started in earnest. On the Savage lease the Standard has Nos. 12 and 14 drilling and are grading for No. 15. On the Dominguez ranch lease the Standard has reached a depth of 2800 feet and thus far have met with encouraging conditions. The formation thus far passed through gives evidence that oil will be found in the deeper strata. The Union Oil company is rushing the work of getting a well ready to drill on the Bixby ranch at Long Beach. A force of rig builders have about completed the derrick and rigging will commence immediately. Most all of the drilling material and equipment was hauled by motor truck from the Fullerton field to the Bixby well. In the Fullerton field the Union has 14 strings of tools running and are formulating plans for considerable new work to start with the new year. On the Bastanchury lease two wells are drilling. No. 5 is close to 3500 and No. 6 is cleaning out. Progress is being resumed at Berkenstock No. 2, close to 1000 feet of hole has been redrilled and cleaned out. On the Graham-Loftus lease five wells are drilling. No. 38 is down 3300, No. 39 is close to 2900, No. 40 has passed the 3200 mark. No. 41 stands cemented, and a test for water is being made at No 50. The Hole lease is the scene of action for the Union. Five wells are drilling and probably more will be started before very long. Redrilling work on HOME INDUSTRY LEAGUE If the present plans of the Home Industry League of California prove successful, the women of the state will be the means of keeping beggars off the streets of every one of the state's cities and towns during the coming winter, as well as reducing to a minimum the usual crop of cold weather burglaries. Women (auxiliary) members of the Home Industry League to the formidable number of 25,000 have already signed pledges—now on file at the League's headquarters in San Francisco—that this year they will do all their holiday shopping with the idea uppermost in mind of co-operating thoroughly with the active membership of the League (the factory owners of California) to "Make it a home industry Christmas." It has been proclaimed by Executive Secretary C.R. Thoburn, of the League that if the people of California will this year buy all their Christmas gifts in the state—instead of patronizing the mail order houses of the states east of the Rockies—giving the preference each time to either raw or manufactured articles grown or made in California—the enormous sum of $15,000,000 will be kept in California instead of going East. "If all the women of the Golden State will unite with the women members of the Home Industry League of California to make it a home industry Christmas," declares Miss M.B.Wilkin, manager of the Women's division "the women of California, can show their power in keeping our city streets clear of beggars this winter, and preventing the usual amount of winter burglaries committed by men thrown out of work in California factories at a season of the year when a successful movement for a 'Make it a Home..." for the two tours means eight hours a day that is practically lost as far as making hole is concerned. A man in the first eight hours of the 12-hour tour makes his showing, the rest of the time is put in waiting for the next crew to come on tour. By working the three crews 8 hours each you have the work going ahead at top speed, no time is spent stalling around, and consequently the well will be drilled, and put to producing in a third of the time usually consumed. The three crew system means fresh men at work all the time making three showings a day instead of two. What the Developers are Doing. Perhaps the busiest oil field for its size 1 nth state is the Brea-Fullerton field. The week's review of the oil developing operations in the local field reveals some astounding facts and figures. Two more producing wells that will materially increase the production of the field will be put on the beam before the week closes, and eight new drilling wells were started. In a few days the Amalgamated and the Union will bring in three wells of the gusher order south of Brea on the Hualde and Hole leases. A careful and conservative estimate of the amount of money spent for labor and materials by the companies operating in this fields places the figure at two and a half million dollars. The people of Brea and vicinity are proud of their oil fields and they have a right to be. In the field there are a group of progressive and energetic oil operators seldom found in any field. The companies pride themselves in keeping the equipment and grounds up to the highest efficiency and order, and the developers have results worthy of mention to show for their labors. The Amalgamated Oil company on the Hualde lease have their No. 8 well down 3365 feet and are making good progress. At No. 9 a test for water is being made. No. 10 continues to produce at the rate of 400 daily and will undoubtedly hold up to that figure. Hualde 23 is being drilled a little deeper and from the way the well is acting a gusher will result when the swab is run. Some difficulty is being encountered in keeping the gas and oil down while drilling is being finished. Hualde 26 is rotating. This well was started early in the week and is down 1200 feet. On the Anaheim Union lease operated by the Amalgamated, well No. 6 has been completed, that is, the redrilling and put on the pump. The well will come up to the production expected. At No. 30 a test for water is being made and No. 40 is drilling at 3465. The Birch Oil company are busy running four strings of tools and considering the deep territory the company is making very satisfactory progress. No. 10 is fast approaching one of the deep wells of the district the tools now digging at better than 4200. No. 11 is delayed some what with a fishing job, but it is believed that the difficulty will be over come. The company leaves the difficult matters to Mat Good and considers them solved. State will unite with the women members of the Home Industry League of California to make it a home industry Christmas," declares Miss M. B. Wilkin, manager of the Women's division "the women of California, can show their power in keeping our city streets clear of beggars this winter, and preventing the usual amount of winter burglaries committed by men thrown out of work in California factories at a season of the year when a successful movement for a 'Make it a Home Industry Christmas' would keep these men at honest work with no incentive to crime." The furnace at the New Fairyland is now in perfect working order and the house is delightfully comfortable. The domestic science section of the Anaheim Ebell will meet at the home of Mrs. Dickerson on East Center street Friday afternoon. Automobiles will be at Mr. Nagle's store, corner Center and Claudina, at 2:30 to take those who wish to go. Miss Turner has kindly consented to give another of her splendid talks. Her topic will be "the different kids of cake that can be made from one foundation." The music section of the Anaheim Ebell will meet with Miss Lillian Sloane at the Valencia hotel on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 16, at 2:30 o'clock. A splendid program is promised. The Concordia Singing Society has erected an addition 18x24 to its building on South Los Angeles street. Joe Collings of the Wells Fargo express advises people who are sending Christmas goods back home to make their shipments early and avoid the congestion that is certain to come later. A "tacky social" was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Goodale Tuesday evening for the benefit of the M. E. church.
