OIL WORKERS GET A HANDSOME INCREASE FIFTEEN TO TWENTY PER CENT GIVEN TO EMPLOYEES OF UNION OIL COMPANY SANTA FE COMPANY DISTRIBUTES GENEROUS CHRISTMAS GIFTS AMONG ITS MEN Official confirmation of the fact that the Union Oil company of California had raised the wages of the employees in the Fullerton field has been received. The new schedule of wages went into effect January 1st, and runs all the way from 15 to 20 per cent increase. Rotary helpers are raised from $3 to $3.50, tool dressers from $3.50 to $4.00. All pumpers are raised to $90 a month, and roustabout labor to $3.00 a day. Teamsters will receive $90.00 a month instead of $75 as herefore. Inexperienced men coming to the company's service will receive $2.50 a day for a period of three months after that they will be paid $3 per day. The raise in wages will effect some 200 employees and was received with great satisfaction and appreciation by the men. The Union feels that the increase in the wage is necessary to meet the high cost of living, and the schedule of wages being set by other big companies operating in this field. The Union will no doubt get greater efficiency and closer attention to the work with the increased wage. The Brea Canyon Oil company show well, having pipe trouble. Operations are under way at the 1460 mark. In the Olinda field the Columbia has three wells drilling on cable tools, Nos. 26, 27, and 28. No. 29 has been rigged up ready for rotary drilling. The Santa Fe Oil company is running five strings of tools. Drilling is proceeding successfully at No. 41, the depth being 2558. No. 46 is drilling at 2140. No. 74 is drilling at a depth of 1934.

The raise in wages will effect some 200 employees and was received with great satisfaction and appreciation by the men. The Union feels that the increase in the wage is necessary to meet the high cost of living, and the schedule of wages being set by other big companies operating in this field. The Union will no doubt get greater efficiency and closer attention to the work with the increased wage. The Brea Canyon Oil company showed its appreciation for the men who have given the company their service during the past year by giving each employee an additional half-month's salary. The Santa Fe Oil company presented all employees earning less than $2500 a year with a check totaling ten per cent of their past year's earnings, as a Christmas gift. The oil companies in this field are not heartless and soulless corporations after all. Few industrial concerns anywhere in the world have done as much for their employees as the oil companies in the local field have done during the past year. Two of the biggest companies in the field have raised the wages as well as a number of the smaller operators. The Standard Oil company and a few of the other companies have instituted the 8 hour day. Throughout the field every where the oil operators are giving the men who do the work more attention in every way. The working man is coming into his own in the oil fields of Orange county. The Union Oil company has closed an order for 92 wire lines to be shipped to the Fullerton field in the very near future. An order for 92 wire lines for oil well drilling is without doubt the biggest order ever placed in any operating company in this field. Shipment has commenced on the order by the American Wire Rope Co., and the Pacific Wire Rope Co. The cost of these lines will run close to $40,000. The Union has also closed orders for casing that calls for a large number of car loads, that will be delivered to the local field as needed. The getting of all this equipment on the ground with the opening of the new year proves that there will be considerable activity during the coming year on the properties of the Union Oil Co. The company now has the largest pay roll ever carried in the local field. Close to 270 men are now employed in the field department alone. The Union stock was never higher than has two wells drilling. No. 6 is drilling at 2100 and No. 5 is going along nicely at 3600 feet. The redrilling of Berkenstock No. 2 is making good progress, almost 1000 feet of old hole being redrilled. On the Graham & Loftus lease the Union reports the completion of G. & L. No. 38. No. 38 is making 200 bbls of oil. No. 39 is drilling at 2950. No. 40 is drilling at 3330, No. 41 has landed the 10 inch casing at 2180, and No. 50 has commenced the drilling out of the cement, preparatory to going on. The Hole lease has five strings of tools operating. The redrilling of No. 6 has proceeded to 3200 feet. No. 8 has been redrilled to 2923. At No. 9 testing for water is underway. No. 11 is standing cemented. At Hole 13 the game is being delayed with a fishing job. At Hole 14 a new rig is under process of construction. No. 18 is rotating close to 2000 feet. On the Naranjal lease the Union is drilling No. 6 at 1200 feet. No. 7 is tied up temporarily with a fishing job. No. 8 is being rigged up. At No. 10 the rotary has been installed. The West Coast Oil company report a good drilling card for the week. No. 54 is now drilling at 1782. No. 80 shows a depth of 1900. No. 84 is completely rigged up and ready for the commencement of drilling as soon as one of the other wells are finished. The Olinda Land & Oil Company is drilling two wells in the local field. Their No. 17 has resumed drilling after standing cemented for several weeks. No. 18 is drilling at 1800. The Olinda Land company has a large area of ground for development purposes and doubtless some good wells will be discovered. They are developing along conservative lines. The wind and rain storm early last week blew down a total of 11 derricks for operators in Brea canyon. Never before has the Fullerton field been troubled with a wind of sufficient force to topple the derricks. The Birch Oil company lost 1 rig, the Brea Canyon three rigs, the Columbia one rig, and the Fullerton Oil company lost three derricks. In all cases the rigs blown down were pumping well derricks. The work of rebuilding the fallen derricks will commence immediately. The St. Helens Petroleum company has given the 8 hour day to all day men and raised the wages of the pumps to $3.00 per day.

The getting of all this equipment on the ground with the opening of the new year proves that there will be considerable activity during the coming year on the properties of the Union Oil Co. The company now has the largest pay roll ever carried in the local field. Close to 270 men are now employed in the field department alone. The Union stock was never higher than at the present time, the management never better, and the financial condition of the company never better, than at the present time. A great future is predicted for the Union Oil company. The week's field report shows the Amalgamated drilling at 3440 at Hualde No. 8. Work on No. 9 is still being delayed on account of casing trouble. The Amalgamated have put No. 23 on the pump and report a 150-bbl well. No. 26 is drilling at 2950. Anaheim Union No. 30 is drilling again after standing cemented. The tools are running at 2985. No. 40 has been cemented. The Birch Oil company is still going down at No. 10. A depth of 4250 has been reached. No. 11 is drilling at 1622. No. 13 is drilling at 2295 and No. 14 is better than 600. The Birch company has four strings of tools at work in all. The Brea Canyon Oil company have abandoned the idea of making their No. 22 a flowing well and are putting in tubing. The well on being finished had every appearance of a flowing well, and for this reason considerable effort was made to make the well flow. No. 29 is drilling at 200. No. 30 is rigged up and probably will be started before the end of the week. The Columbia people are drilling No. 7 in the Brea field. They have met with considerable difficulty on this company lost a rig, the Brea Canyon three rigs, the Columbia one rig, and the Fullerton Oil company lost three derricks. In all cases the rigs blown down were pumping well derricks. The work of rebuilding the fallen derricks will commence immediately. The St. Helens Petroleum company has given the 8 hour day to all day men and raised the wages of the pumps to $3.00 per day. A PLEA FOR MORE CHARITY Uncle Job was around again yesterday, and in his garrulous way went on as follows: "You remember Solomon, when in his old age, grew misanthropic, and talked in this way: 'Wherefore, I praised the dead, which are already dead, more than the living, which are yet alive.'" "Now, in a different sense from what Solomon meant, the world has been doing the same thing ever since. Somehow, when we look on a dead face, or hear that a mortal whom we knew has ceased to live; that he can no more answer if we speak to him; no more resent our words if we say rude things of him; that the eyes are closed and the hands clasped; that this world in which he delighted to struggle for fame or for gold is nothing any more to him; that the mystery which all human hearts have yearned in vain to have explained has been pierced by him; then, even if he were our enemy, no words of reproach come to our lips, and for a little while we realize that there is not very much, after all, in quarreling, among creatures who have just sprung up from the dust, and who, in a little while, are going back to that same dust. And yet were we to be more charitable to the living and less considerate of those who have passed to where neither words of af- ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, Jan. 4 1917 Gas and the High of Living We hear a great deal these days about the high of living, drugs and other commodities cost much more than years ago.

The writer of the newspaper article referred to states that 30 years ago the soil of Germany and of France was, as revealed by crop statistics, about equally productive, but during the three decades Germany's crop yield per acre has nearly doubled while that of France has increased but a tenth. Figures are quoted giving the average yield of wheat per acre in Germany as 19 bushels, and in France as 18 bushels in 1881-1886, with 33 bushels for Germany and 20 bushels for France in 1911-1913. This favorable showing in the case of Germany is said to be due partly to the effect of cooperative agricultural societies and schools together with the technical improvement in agriculture, but above all to the increased use of commercial fertilizers. Comparing Germany and France as to the last mentioned item it would appear that in recent years the average amount of potash and saltpeter used per acre in the two countries has been: In Germany—potash 10.7 pounds saltpeter 7 pounds. In France—potash 0.7 pounds, saltpeter 3.6 pounds. ALCOHOL FOR AUTOMOBILES Though Henry Ford may be missionary in some matters, when it comes to gas engines and gas engine fuel his opinions are received with universal respect. His latest pronunciation, which happens to deal with commercial alcohol, may prove to be of vast economic importance. As a result of scientific experiments performed in his laboratory, Mr. Ford announces as a demonstrable fact something that has heretofore been though of merely as a theoretical possibility—that alcohol may be profitably used as a substitute for gasoline. ERS of his state, immediately after it has voted to join the dry column, he assured them that they could adapt their breweries, with very slight changes, to the manufacture of commercial alcohol. If that proves to be true, and if the alcohol can really be produced at prices that make it a popular substitute for gasoline, there will be no need of scrapping any brewery or distillery. AMERICAN PEOPLE LACKING IN THRIFT Speaker Declares Wastefulness Partly Responsible for High Cost of Living S. W. Straus, president of the American Thrift Society, in a recent speech said people were partly responsible for the high cost of living because of their wastefulness. "Here in America we are not in danger because of the high cost of living," said Straus, "but we are in danger from the fundamental conditions that have made the cost of living high. An economic condition which sends food to a price level almost equal to that which existed at the time of the Civil War is a condition which cannot be viewed with nonchalance. I cannot state with too much solemnity the fact that the American people must undergo a complete reformation on the subject of personal economics. "Let us go down the streets of this city today and ask the grocer, the baker, and the butcher the prices of the commodities they sell. We all know pretty well what the answer will be. We all know that never be that is beyond the ability of the human mind to comprehend. Is far fetched then to say that we must begin teaching thrift in the public schools? This is a duty we owe to posterity. "Thrift does not mean simply saving money and putting it in a bank. Thrift is an attribute of character, not an adjunct of the pocketbook. We all know that Benjamin Franklin was a thrifty man, but we do not know what amount of money he had on deposit in the Philadelphia banks in his day. It is as essential that one be thrifty of time, thrifty of health, and thrifty in all personal habits as to be thrifty in point of money. I believe within the next five years thrift will be taught in the public and private schools of America." TWO GOVERNORS Arizona's gubernatorial controversy, already acute, became more complicated when Tom Campbell, republican who received 30 more votes than Governor George W. P. Hunt, democrat, announced that he would take the oath of office and make his inaugural address Monday morning and demand immediate possession of the executive office. Attorneys for Hunt, who is contesting Campbell's election, have advised the governor to refuse to give up the office, it is reported. Hunt refuses to state his intentions. The inspection of the ballots is proceeding slowly, without material changes in the result. The cost of the recount is $300 a day.

He finds that cornstalks are excellent material,and an acre of the stalks will make 100 gallons of alcohol. Beets potatoes carrots turnips,sugar cane ets.,are rich in alcohol. He sees great possibilities in the introduction of a certain large juicy German potatowhich is not good to eat but which produces a surprising amount of alcohol. Experts say that alcohol has less power per gallon than gasoline. But that disadvantage is probably balanced by its being safer to handle and less offensive in odor,and if it can be developed as a substitute anywhere near equal in value to gasoline,它 will be ancalculable boon. For the world's supply of petroleum seems to have been reached,and a rapid decline is feared. There must be a substitute,如果 civilization is not to lose the use of the gas engine,the mose useful and efficient engine yet produced by man. Incidentally,Mr.Ford's announcement has an important bearing on the liquor traffic.Speaking to the brew- time of the Civil War is a condition which cannot be viewed with nonchalance.I cannot state with too much solemnity the fact that the American people must undergo a complete reformation on the subject of personal economics. "Let us go down the streets of this city today and ask the grocer,the baker,and the butcher the prices of the commodities they sell. We all know pretty well what the answer will be.We all know that never before in the time of peace in America have the prices of staple products been as high as they are today. Why? Lack of thrift. This is the age of thriftlessness.The world has gone mad with it.The waste of lives，property and energy across the waters is prodigious—unprecedented.As this war goes on.all humanity will have to pay the bill—and not only are we paying the bill here in America todaybutwe are going to continue paying it for years and years.We are not responsible for the war，thank God，但we are helpingto pay for it just the same.

Railroad legislation is always a live topic and railroads are an absolute necessityto the rapid industrial development of the West.From this standpointthe following paragraphs are worth readingto gain an idea of why the railroads are unable at this timeto adequately serve the public;why less new railroad is being built than for the last fifty years;why con- The High Cost of Living Days about the high cost of living.

LOAN BANKS gress finally decided to investigate the whole subject of railroad regulation with a view to improving existing conditions and why it seems necessary to put an end to dual regulation by the states and federal government and place regulation of the railroads exclusively in the hands of the federal government. Fifteen states, by prescribing a minimum movement for freight cars, or by imposing heavy penalties for delays, attempt to favor their own traffic. Twenty states, regulate hours of railway service, the variations running from 10 to 16 hours a day. Twenty-eight states specify headlight requirements without an approach to uniformity. Fourteen states have dissimilar safety-appliance acts. In 41 states in 1909, 664 new laws affecting railroads were enacted. In 40 states in 1911, new railroad laws totaled 276. Between 1912 and 1915, upward of 4,000 bills affecting railroads were introduced into congress and our several state legislatures, of which 440 have become laws. Twenty states have passed "stuffed crew" laws. Twenty-one states, however, refused to enact such a law. Nine attempts in six years have been made to secure federal approval for such a law, but without success. The Missouri legislature passed a "stuffed crew" law, but, on referendum to the voters of the state, the law was rejected by a vote of 324,085 to 159,593. "Stuffed crew" bills were vetoed by Governor Cruce of Oklahoma, Governors Hughes and Dix of New York and Governor Harmon of Ohio. In the fiscal year 1914, 166 railroads operating 204,610 miles, reported an expense of $4,051,533 for compliance issues contingent upon the expenditure of a fixed proportion of the proceeds within their respective borders. Recently, the New York Central—which has only a total right of way in Illinois of 142 miles, although it operates 6,034 miles of first track—was taxed $600,000 by the state of Illinois as a condition precedent to its approval of an intended financing. During a recent hearing before the senate committee on interstate commerce, in the Shepard bill, to abolish the doctrine of the Shreveport case, the question of state discriminations was emphasized. While Louisiana was protesting against this bill, telegrams of protest from St. Louis and Kansas City commercial bodies were received and read. St. Louis contended that the Shepard bill would permit Illinois to exclude St. Louis from commerce of that state; Kansas City claimed that it would be excluded from the markets of Kansas and Oklahoma. A Tennessee congressman appeared and protested that the bill would enable Arkansas to exclude Memphis from its markets. And while Louisiana was protesting the exclusion of its business men from Louisiana markets. While the Virginia commission was complaining before the Interstate commerce commission against North Carolina for discriminating rates, its chairman, Judge Prentice was favoring the adoption of the Shepard bill before the senate committee referred to. Nearly three million reports of all kinds were filed with Federal, state and other authorities during the year ended June 30, 1915. The preparation of these reports cost the carriers many millions of dollars. Dr. John Livingstone will not go to Patton.

In the fiscal year 1914, 166 railroads operating 204,610 miles, reported an expense of $4,051,533 for compliance with "stuffed crew" laws. This amount equals a return of 5 per cent on $80,000,000 of capital. These companies reported a total expense of $28,703,983 in consequence of legislation regulating operation, equivalent to decreasing their basis of credit $570,000,000. Railroad statutes in force in New York to the end of 1906, make up an octavo volume of 782 pages and in Pennsylvania, to the end of 1907, more than 700 octavo pages. One state requires cuspidors in passenger cars. An adjacent state prohibits this practice. This state is traversed by carriers passing through the "cuspidor" state. One state requires screens in the windows of passenger cars, and these cars traverse a neighboring state where screens are forbidden. Nineteen have legally asserted their right to control bond and stock issues of railroads operating within their limits and, doubtless, this number will increase. In 1913 the Arizona corporation commission, by withholding approval for an intended sale of 2-year notes by the Southern Pacific, left that company no alternative but to issue 1-year notes, the result of this change in plans being a loss of $270,000 to the Southern Pacific. The railroad commissions of Kansas and Texas upon occasion have made their approval of certain railroad security Nearly three million reports of all kinds were filed with Federal, state and other authorities during the year ended June 30, 1915. The preparation of these reports cost the carriers many millions of dollars. Dr. John Livingstone will not go to Patton. Wednesday Judge Thomas issued an order allowing him to go to work grubbing trail with a crew of men at work under Forest Ranger J. B. Stephenson of El Toro. Livingstone's past remains a mystery. He declared that he was a physician of standing until there came into his life a happening concerning which he maintains absolute silence. Following that occurrence he went to drinking, and his three months of continuous indulgence in his desire to forget ended in delirium tremens. Recently he was arrested in Anaheim, and it was proposed to send him to the inebriates' department at Patton. He protested, and his protests brought his release when a job was offered him in the hills, where he will regain his grip on himself, later to start out life anew. The greatest ocean depth known is 5,296 fathoms, or 31,614 feet. It is about seventy-five miles southeast of the Island of Guam. This figure was obtained in 1899 by the U. S. S. Nero, when running a line of soundings to locate the Honolulu Manila cable. The mean depth of the entire ocean is about 2100 fathoms, or 12,600 feet, almost 2½ miles.
