B. Neff Delivers Address Before Agricultural College at Corvallis J. B. Neff has returned from a three-weeks' visit to Oregon and other points in the northwest, going to within a short distance of the Canadian border. Mr. Neff investigated the new walnut area in the north, and delivered a lecture on walnuts at Corvallis. He informs us there are between 5000 and 7000 acres planted to walnuts in Oregon, only a small portion of which are now in bearing. The nuts are of good size and superior quality. Farmers of the north are taking very kindly to the new industry and the area already planted may be largely extended in the future. Bear ing trees do well, and Mr. Neff looks to see walnuts become one of the leading industries of the northern state. FAMOUS MULE TEAM PASSES THROUGH ANAHEIM Borax Smith's Celebrated Caravan is In the County This Week Everybody has heard of the famous 20-mule team which used to haul wealth out of Death Valley for Borax Smith until he had accumulated a fortune estimated at twenty million dollars. Smith is dead now but the mule as if Orange would "snow" us under, but to quote "Chick" Pearson, our athletic manager, "even if Orange does defeat us, they will have some job on their hands." This will probably be the best game played in the league as both teams are on edge for the fray. FOUNDATION GIVES WAY WALL TREMBLES AND SAGS Roberts' Harness Shop has Narrow Escape From Destruction While Granville Waller was waiting on a customer in T. L. Roberts' harness shop Tuesday morning both he and the customer were suddenly showered by a rain of horse collars, straps, pieces of harness, etc., that were hanging on the wall. There was also a crash, and they were startled to see that one end of the south wall of the building had torn away from the roof, sagged about five feet and was tottering and swaying threatening to fall in on them. The customer, who was looking at some dog collars, made a spring for the open air, taking the collars with him, but when he reached the sidewalk Waller was only one jump behind him. In excavating for the new Mitchell block the pick and shovel men got too close to the foundation of the building occupied by Roberts, which resulted in a cave-in. A number of Mexicans working in the pit on the outside made a swift get-away when they observed the wall beginning to sag. Had it fallen outward some of them probably would have been caught, but it fortunately swayed inward and was held up by a couple of scantling that had been put in to hold it in place. DEBT OF WARING NATIONS The increase in the national debt of Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany and Austria Hungary is estimated.

This was the work line by the Admin I don't like Everybody has heard of the famous 20-mule team which used to haul wealth out of Death Valley for Borax Smith until he had accumulated a fortune estimated at twenty million dollars. Smith is dead now but the mules still live—at least some of them are the very same animals with which Smith trekked across the hot desert sands, carrying his precious load of borax. This team passed through Anaheim Tuesday and paused long enough for Tarantula Pete to give a short lecture on borax, and for his assistants to distribute samples. While the original mules may have grown old and been succeeded by younger one the wagons are the same Smith built thirty years ago when he first began introducing to the world his valuable discovery. The train consists of two huge vans and a water tank. The vans were loaded with sample packages of borax which were distributed among the people while Tarantula Pete discussed the valuable properties of the salt. Borax Bill is the driver of this outfit and he is some expert in the handling of mules. The teams and the wagons make a train almost a block long, but Bill can turn a square corner just as easy as he can keep in the middle of a straight road. After parading Anaheim Tuesday the team left for Orange and will spend the balance of the week distributing samples throughout the southern portion of the county. Smith was the man who introduced borax to the world, and nearly every family at the present day uses borax for it has become a household necessity. Nearly everyone is familiar with the fact that it is an antiseptic and valuable medicinally, and it has uses as a cleanser and disinfectant that the majority of the people do not know much about. Nearly all cosmetics will be found to contain borax if analyzed. It will soften the hardest water better than any known substances. It has the property of bleaching white goods, and at the same time brightening and setting colors in colored goods. The housewife may also be surprised to learn that borax has been used in the manufacture of her swift get-away when they observed the wall beginning to sag. Had it fallen outward some of them probably would have been caught, but it fortunately swayed inward and was held up by a couple of scantling that had been put in to hold it in place. DEBT OF WARING NATIONS The increase in the national debt of Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary is estimated by the federal reserve board at $49,455,000,000 from the beginning of the war to the latter part of 1916, with the exception of Austria-Hungary, in whose case the estimate extends only to May, 1916. Twenty-nine billions is the three entente nations' share of the total, and twenty billions is that of the two central powers. This estimate, the board stated in tabulations, is approximate and does not cover the cost of the war, as large revenues of undetermined amounts have been raised by internal taxation. Following are the estimated national debt increases: Great Britain, to November 11, 1916, $13,253,358,000; France, to August 31, 1916, $8,038,500,000; Russia, to December 31, 1916, $7,973,274,000; a total of $29,265,132,000 for the entente Germany, to October 27, 1916, $15,260,000,000; Austria, $3,716,200,000; Hungary, $1,214,000,000; a total of $20,192,200,000 for the Germanic nations. Great Britain's national debt, the board estimated, was approximately $15,163,750,000 in November, having risen from $3,449,813,150 in March, 1914. Loans to allies and dominions included in the grand total are estimated at from three to three and a half-billion. France's total loans to her allies during the war are estimated at approximately $330,000,000. The national debt of Russia has risen from 9,888,310,000 rubles January 1, 1914, to 25,220,936,000 rubles (about $13,114,886,720) at the close of 1916. Bank note circulation in Germany has increased greatly during the war as in other belligerent countries, the total of Reichsbank notes in circulation on December 7 last being placed at $1,652,271,000 as against $450,212,619 on July 30, 1914. The cost of the war to Germany since Roumania's entrance is placed a swift get-away when they observed the wall beginning to sag. Had it fallen outward some of them probably would have been caught, but it fortunately swayed inward and was held up by a couple of scantling that had been put in to hold it in place. This was the worst line by the Administration. "I don't like these me" said a member. "I was told I could be a good dog or go." Openly, arrogant cracked until a superior member to insure their majority was secured. An attempt was made Burke of Orange with speakership Pro Tertium down and worshiping signifying his signature as ready slated for JJ the faithful in San Francisco prominent representatives labor organizations. "I am ashamed of a prominent member dictatorial dominance," the past,"but I could signify himself caucus call—a polite fifty cents a day. The senate caucus allowing each member personal patronage of $15 per day; to try to stultify themselves caucus call—a polite fifty cents a day. The assembly is personal patronage of the caucus but who refused to comply. The agony among holders in legislation from the adoption of inelegibility amendments what assuaged by down that an attempt have this amen constituted. These gentlemen losing the service men by the adoption which prevents their places at the public reward for their fathom devotion to bossism in California. On HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The basket ball game with Santa Ana was another victory for Anaheim. When the final whistle blew Santa Ana mourned the loss of a game by a 33 to 20 score. The game was well played and throughout the Anaheim boys showed their superiority in every position. Everybody agreed with Mr. Prince when he said that the score did not near show the superiority of the Anaheim team. As in the Fullerton game the five players who started were still in the game at the finish. The team consisted of Capt. Dolton, Quarton, Abbot, Dankers and Clabaugh. The last of the league basketball games is to be with Orange on the Orange grounds. Orange is considered the best team in the county. Last Friday they defeated Huntington Beach by the score of 52 to 21, and as Huntington Beach defeated us earlier in the season, it would naturally seem Bank note circulation in Germany has increased greatly during the war as in other belligerent countries, the total of Reichsbank notes in circulation on December 7 last being placed at $1,652,271,000 as against $450,212,619 on July 30, 1914. The cost of the war to Germany since Roumania's entrance is placed at about $524,000,000 monthly, and the new credit granted by the reichstag $2,860,000,000 on October 27, last, is estimated to be sufficient for about five months. The number of subscribers to the various German war loans is placed at 16,928,057; the fourth loan, offered last March, having the largest number, 5,279,645. The figures were taken from foreign sources which the board considers reliable. M. Jean Herbette, France's most authoritative writer on foreign affairs, quoting the Official Journal says the debt incurred by France since the beginning of the war is $14,400,000,000. As France's debt previous to the outbreak of the war was seven billions, it now reaches the stupendous figure of twenty-one and a half billions. Four birthdays were celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Mauerhan Sunday, the party being given by Mrs. Mauerhan. The honored guests were her husband, Cooney Mauerhan, her mother, Mrs. William Schumacher, her sister, Miss Frances Schumacher, and her brother-in-law, Ralph Mauerhan. Their birthdays don't all happen on the asme day, but they were all born in January, consequently one celebration sufficed for all. BOSSISM RULES IN THE STATE CAPITAL ADMINISTRATION TRIED TO SUGAR JOE BURKE BY OFFERING HIM SPEAKERSHIP PRO TEM ASSEMBLY ALLOTS LIBERAL PATRONAGE TO THE FAITHFUL, BUT NOTHING TO OTHER MEMBERS (Special Correspondence) SACRAMENTO, Jan. 8—Despite all the political conversions of the past few months and the loud mouthed professions of harmony in the republican party, the spirit of republicanism was conspicuously absent at the opening of the legislature. In its stead tyrannical domination and bossism of the most offensive character were everywhere apparent. The whip was used unsparingly. The caucus call was so worded as to admit only those who had been slave followers of the machine dictation and would pledge themselves to so continue. Such men as Bartlett, Burke, Pettis, Long, McCray, Chamberlain and Romiger among the republicans, and Hawson, Quinn, Irwin and Duncan among the democrats must either stultify themselves or be shut out of chairmanships, places on committees, and even the personal patronage to which every member is entitled. This was the word passed along the line by the Administration whips. NOTES FROM OIL FIELDS The first week of the New Year has established a pace in the development and production of crude oil in the local field that if kept up will make the year 1917 the greatest in the history of Orange county's petroleum industry. The year opens with nine large companies and half a dozen smaller concerns busily engaged in development. The management of the several companies have work outlined for the coming year that will keep things humming. Oil men say that the outlook for the oil business in the Brea-Fullerton-Whittier field was never better than at the present time. The Amelgamated on the Huade lease report No. 8, brought in last week as holding up well, the output being 600 bbls daily. No. 9 is being tested for water. No. 17 is cemented. The Head Drilling company's record well now stands at 2940. On the Anaheim Union Water lease they have No. 30 at 3102, and are building a new rig to be known as No. 41. The Birch Oil company is having good success on the deep well, No. 10. The tools are down 4250 and the indications are excellent for a good well. No. is 1650 feet, No. 13 2410 and No. 14 740 feet. A grade has been made for No. 15. The famous No. 5 well is producing 210 bbls a day. For uniformity of production and quality of oil Birch No. 5 is without doubt the greatest well in the state. It has been producing for almost six years. For a number of years this well made 2000 bbls daily of light, high gravity oil, practically free from any emulsion or water. Besides being a great oil producer the well has given a large amount of gas. The Brea Canyon have succeeded in getting No. 22 on the beam. No. 29 is drilling at 2000, and a new well, No. 30, was started early in the week in a promising locality. The Columbia company are working hard on their No. 7 in Brea canyon. Redrilling is going on around the 1500 mark. In the Olinda field this company have Nos 26, 27 and 28 on the standard tools, and No. 29 rigged for the rotary and will be started as soon as one of the wells now drilling is finished. The Fullerton Oil company report No. 10 down 3458 and No. 12 at 3950 trucks put the lumber on the ground early in the week and the work of getting started will be rushed as fast as possible. A number of years ago the Union drilled two wells on this property. A tremendously high gas pressure was struck, blowing the holes out badly and making further progress difficult. The wells were abandoned, one of them being converted into a water well. With the new and improved drilling tools the Union will sink a deep well on the Myer lease and test out the property thoroughly. The Union Oil company has just closed the most successful year in the long history of the big oil producing corporation. The sales, the production of oil, the properties added and the net profits are the largest ever recorded in the 30 years this company has been in business. The profits of the company as shown by the annual statement aggregate $9,600,000, an increase of $4,630,000 over last year. The net profit has been computed at 28% of the capital stock. The records show an increase of the crude sales of 8,500,000 bbls., a gain of 44% over last year. The company increased its fuel business 36% and the refining and lubricating branch 56%. Union stock is at the high water mark, the financial status of the corporation is a matter of pride, and the outlook for the future is exceedingly bright. The high character of the former president of the company, Mr. Lyman Stewart, coupled with the conservative management of the big corporation's affairs has been the basis of the Union Oil company's unparalleled success. The Santa Fe has five strings of tools running and a new rig going up. No. 41 is drilling at 2595, No. 74 is in shale at 2029. No. 75 is drilling at 2353 and going good. No. 76 famous for the long streak of the hardest conglomerate ever encountered in the local field is out of that formation and in shale at 1095 feet. No. 77 started last week is 127 feet deep. The West Coast company report No. 54 cemented, No. 80 drilling at 2050, and No. 84 a new well was started the first of the week. Richard Melrose is recovering from a severe attack of pluerisy, which threatened pneumonia. He was confined to the house for a week but is now able to be out again. Such men as Bartlett, Burke, Pettis, Long, McCray, Chamberlain and Romiger among the republicans, and Hawson, Quinn, Irwin and Duncan among the democrats must either stultify themselves or be shut out of chairmanships, places on committees, and even the personal patronage to which every member is entitled. This was the word passed along the line by the Administration whips. "I don't like the way they talk to me" said a member from Los Angeles. "I was told I could either come in and be a good dog or get nothing." Openly, arrogantly, the whip was cracked until a sufficient number of members to insure a safe working majority was secured. An attempt was made to sugar Joe Burke of Orange with a promise of the speakership Pro Tem if he would fall down and worship the little tin god by signing the caucus call. Of course the bosses would have thrown Burke over the transom with polite professions of regret after getting his signature as the place was already slated for Jimmy Ryan, one of the faithful in San Francisco, and a prominent representative of the great labor organizations of that city. "I am ashamed of my actions" said a prominent member who had opposed dictatorial domination and bossism in the past, "but I couldn't help it. I had sign up or get nothing." The senate caucus passed a resolution allowing each of the members of it personal patronage to the amount of $15 per day; to the six who refused to stultify themselves by signing the caucus call—a paltry two dollars and fifty cents a day. The assembly resolution allotted personal patronage to each member of the caucus, but nothing to those who refused to come in. The agony among the double office holders in legislative ranks resulting from the adoption by the people of the inelegibility amendment was somewhat assuaged by the news handed down that an attempt would be made to have this amendment declared unconstitutional. The opinion among these gentlemen is that the state is losing the service of many valuable men by the adoption of this measure which prevents them from accepting places at the public pie counter as a reward for their faithful and patriotic devotion to bossism and machine rule in California. On the other hand it The Brea Canyon have succeeded in getting No. 22 on the beam. No. 29 is drilling at 2000, and a new well. No. 30, was started early in the week in a promising locality. The Columbia company are working hard on their No. 7 in Brea canyon. Redrilling is going on around the 1500 mark. In the Olinda field this company have Nos 26, 27 and 28 on the standard tools, and No. 29 rigged for the rotary and will be started as soon as one of the wells now drilling is finished. The Fullerton Oil company report No. 10 down 3458 and No. 12 at 3950. Both wells are looking good. They have rebuilt the rig blown down some weeks ago. The Standard reports having finished three wells during the week that will add to the district's production very materially. On the Emery No. 27 was put on the beam and registers 900 bbls daily. They have three wells standing cemented on this lease. Nos. 31 and 32 are drilling. On the Murphy the Standard completed No. 19 and it is making 700 bbls a day. Nos. 21 and 23 are drilling. No. 25 continues to hold up its initial production, and is producing 8000 bbls of 32 gravity oil, and clean. The addition of this wells brings the Murphy lease production to 17,000 bbls, a day Drilling is under way at Nos. 28 and 29. On the Whittler No. 36 is now completed and is doing 100 bbls a day. The General Petroleum Co. has widened the scope of their activity by purchasing the refinery of the Richfield Oil company at Olinda. The General Petroleum will continue the operation of the plant on a larger scale, and will put on the market a high grade gasoline and other refined products of quality. The General company has 37 producing wells in the Fullerton-Brea field, giving the company ample crude for refining purposes. The seemingly unchangeable high figure at which gasoline has held for the past six months is causing a number of oil companies to keep an eye on the manufacture of gasoline from casing head gas and refining methods. Late reports from the well of the Copa De Ora well in Chino canyon state that the well is now 2285 and the gas pressure continues strong. In this field the Union along with the Standard has led the development work. On Bastanchury least No. 5 is at 3675 and No. 6 at 2100. Work on the initial well on the Bixby lease at Long Beach is making fine progress. The well is now down 100 feet. On the Graham & Loftus No. 39 is 3000 and in sand. No. 41 is 1700 and No. 50 is at 2700. On the Hole lease No. 6 is being redrilled, No. 8 is at 2600, No. 10 is being tested for water, fishing is going on at 13 and on this account standard tools have replaced the rotary. On No. 14 the rig is built, grading for 17 has started and drilling at 18 is going good at 2300. On the Narnjal No. 6 is at 1200, the derrick for No. 8 is completed and No. 10 is 800 feet. The Union is going to drill on the Myer' lease. This property is located four miles east and south of conglomerate ever encountered in the local field is out of that formation and in shale at 1095 feet. No. 77 started last week is 127 feet deep. The West Coast company report No. 54 cemented, No. 80 drilling at 2050, and No. 84 a new well was started first of the week. Richard Melrose is recovering from a severe attack of pluerisy, which threatened pneumonia. He was confined to the house for a week but is now able to be out again. Deputy County Clerk Jos. M. Backs was in town yesterday. He is making improvements on his property on South Claudina street, which will be occupied by Dr. Parker.
