35,000 MEN WANTED FOR UNITED STATES ARMY
Recruiting Officer Fenwick was in Town Last Week on Official Business
Private Fenwick, 1st class, of the recruiting branch of the United States army was in Anaheim for two days last week to do preliminary work in the forthcoming active recruiting campaign to bring the army to its required strength, authorized by congress. Private Fenwick was formerly stationed at the Presidio, where he was engaged in another branch of the service, with the rank of Sergeant, drilling recruits and making raw material into the finished article, to do service in the ranks of Uncle Sam's soldiers. But having long and faithfully served as drillmaster for Uncle, he sought a transfer to the recruiting branch of the army, which of course means loss of rank and a start from the bottom. Private Fenwick opened recruiting quarters at the Southland for a couple of days, while he was engaged to do such preliminary work as the forthcoming active campaign for recruiting required.
By a recent enactment of congress, postmasters are now auxiliary recruiting agents for the United States army.
NOTES FROM OIL FIELDS
Activity among the oil operators in the local field continues strong. A situation in the oil business has arisen that is going to stimulate development work in the local field as well as throughout the entire state. During the past year a deficit in the state's production of a million barrels a month has been noted. The price of crude has advanced from 30 to 73 cents a barrel. An effort will be made to make up this big monthly deficit and to take advantage of the good figure offered for crude oil. The outlook for the refined product is also especially good on account of the strong demand for motor fuels.
The constant decrease of the several fields in production, the high price offered for crude and the demand for all the refined products will spur developers to great efforts during the coming year. It is believed that considerable wildcattling in the field will be done, and that all available oil lands will be tested out.
The Amalgamated Oil company report Hualde No. 8 holding up pretty well on the initial production, it making 500 bbls. Progress is delayed this week at No. 9 on account of pipe trouble. No. 17 stands cemented. No. 23 larger tubing was installed in order that a test to increase the production might be made. The experiment accomplished the desired results. The well is now making 200 bbls. No. 26 is redrilling at 200 feet.
On the Anaheim Union Lease they are down 3140 on No. 30. An effort to shut off water is underway at No. 40. No. 41 has a new rig going up.
On Birch Hill the Birch Oil company is leading the hilltoppers in the matter of development work. They have 4 strings of tools running and are running and at Nos. 21, 23, 24.

Admiral George Dewey, the hero of Manila, died at his home in Washington Tuesday evening. He was in his 80th year. Admiral Dewey's feat in entering Manila bay seven thousand miles from his base, and with his small squadron smashing the Spanish vessels and fortification, with the loss of only a few men, is one of the brilliant pages of American history.
Tuesday evening the Odd Fellows gave a celebration in honor of the memory of John Wildy of Baltimore, who founded the lodge in America, nearly 100 years ago. The program consisted of recitations and music, with a biographical address on the founder by E. V. Johnson. A luncheon was also served. The Rebekahs took part in the affair and furished the principal part of the program.

On the Anaheim Union Lease they are down 3140 on No. 30. An effort to shut off water is underway at No. 40. No. 41 has a new rig going up.
On Birch Hill the Birch Oil company is leading the hilltoppers in the matter of development work. They have 4 strings of tools running and are making good progress on all the wells drilling. No. 10 is now close to 4300 feet deep and will be classed as one of the deepest wells in the district when finished. No. 11 has passed the 1650 mark, and No. 13 is better than 2420. No. 14 is going along nicely and the tools are operating at a mark close to 800 feet. The Birch Oil company along with several others in this field have raised the wages of their employees to a very substantial figure.
The Brea Canyon Oil company started a little excitement a few days ago with their No. 29 shooting oil clear over the crown block. The phenomenon was rather unusual as the well was only down 2000 feet, and was not expected to make any such demonstration at this comparatively shallow depth. However the geologists make mistakes now and then, as others do. Wells on adjoining property made no such showing of oil at this depth. The well is being bailed out and will be tested out thoroughly.
The Brea Canyon company have succeeded in getting No. 22 pumping after having considerable difficulty with the well sanding up. The well is making 200 bbls. No. 30 was spudded in a few days ago and is down 60 feet on the standard tools.
The Columbia Oil Producing company report a change for the better on the Orange No. 7, and drilling has resumed again at 1500 feet. At Olinda they have Nos. 26, 27 and 29 drilling and making good progress. No. 29 is rigged up and will be started as soon as one of the above is completed.
The Fullerton Oil company are drilling two deep wells in this field and should get some good light oil on their completion. The Fullerton's No. 10 is down 3458. Considerable difficulty has been found in drilling this well, but progress is good now. No. 12 is down 3960 and looks good.

At a function given at Orange Monday afternoon by Mrs. M. O. Alnsworth, announcement was made of the engagement of her daughter Nellie to Earl Johnson of this city. A large number of invited guests were present, George Chamberlain being the only one from Anaheim. The wedding date has been fixed for the latter part of February. Mr. Johnson is a member of the force at the Pinal Dome station. He has numerous friends in Anaheim who are extending congratulations.
Another action growing out of what appears to be disagreement over sales of stock has been transferred to this county from Los Angeles. The plaintiff in each case is the Bankers Loan & Mortgage company. In the first case J. J. Ortega of Placentia is the defendant. In the case that reached here Tuesday John O. Forester is defendant. Suit against Forester is upon a note for $5000. Security for the note was fifty shares of the plaintiff corporation. These shares were sold as collateral and brought but $15 per share.

are running and drilling is going good at Nos. 21, 23, 26, 27, 28 and 29.
The Whittier lease contributed another well to the production department this week. Whittier No. 44 was finished at 2600 feet. The well is somewhat of a disappointment as it is only making about ten bbls daily. Adjoining wells are making from a hundred to two hundred barrels. More work will be done on the well to see if the production cannot be increased.
The Standard report the Dominguez well at 2395 feet. Progress has been a little slow on account of hard luck, a factor that the oil operator cannot escape.
Progress by the Standard at the Baldwin hills well is exceptionally good. A depth of 2320 has been reached and the tools are making hole rapidly.
The West Coast Oil company is testing for water at No. 54. The test proving O. K. the standard tools will be put in and drilling resumed before the end of the week. No. 80 is drilling at 2125, progress being slow on account of the exceedingly hard digging. No. 84 is rotating at 735 feet. The West Coast company has inaugurated a cleanup campaign and everything on the property is being repaired, cleaned up and put in first class condition.
The Union Oil company has secured the services of James Kammerdiner for development field foreman on the Hole lease. Mr. Kammerdiner is regarded as one of the most valuable and widely experienced oil men in the field today. For the past six years he has been development foreman for the Amalgamated Oil company and during that time he brought in for that company some of the biggest producers, a number of these wells ranking with the best in this field. Mr. Kammerdiner's knowledge of field conditions of properties adjoining the fields have running and drilling is going good at Nos. 21, 23, 26, 27, 28 and 29.
On the Myer lease near Whittier the Union has the rig for No. 3 almost completed. The rigging up crew will have things shaped up in a few days and drilling will commence as soon as the preliminary preparations can be made.
The Santa Fe Oil company are running five strings of tools, and show a lot of progress on all of the wells drilling. No. 41 is down 2623 in the sand. No. 74 is drilling in hard sand at 2069. No. 76 is at 2378. At 76 the 13½ casing has been landed at 1131 feet and a test for water is being made. No. 77 started a few days ago, is down 238 feet. The foundation for a new rig is in for 78, but the wet weather is delaying the rig-building somewhat.
NEW SYSTEM OF CANNING
Every woman who ever puts up fruits or cans vegetables ought to read the circular on "Home and Farm Canning" written by W. V. Cruess, assistant professor of Zymology in the University of California, just published by the university and to be had by asking of the College of Agriculture at Berkeley.
Prof. Cruess says the problem has now been solved of canning vegetables without the repeated heatings which have been necessary in the past, which were troublesome and expensive and injurious to flavor and texture. The new method is merely the addition of a little acid to the liquid in which the vegetables are canned. He has proved, for example, that peas keep perfectly after being heated to 212 deg F., in a brine containing five ounces of lemon juice to every gallon, while peas heated in the same brine without lemon juice spoil. The same results have been obtained with beans.
SMALL BLAZE AT THE PRIMARY SCHOOL
Overheated Stove Sets Fire to Wall, Resulting in Slight Damage
Just before noon yesterday an alarm of fire was turned in from the Broadway school and the department made a quick run to the scene. It proved to be of little consequence. An overheated stove set fire to the wall in Miss Clabaugh's room, but it was speedily extinguished.. The chief damage was caused by the water from the hose. The pupils were preparing to eat their luncheon at the time the alarm was given, but they all got safely out without a stampede.
School was dismissed in the rooms of Miss Clabaugh and Miss Grimshaw yesterday afternoon because there were no heaters. New ones were installed during the day and the pupils resumed their studies this morning. The fire was extinguished by the school apparatus before the department reached the scene.
CAMINETTI AND DIGGS MUST GO TO PEN
U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Decision Of California Court
The United States supreme court on Monday upheld the convictions in the famous Diggs-Caminetti Mann white slave case.
The court held the Mann act also applies to non-commercial vice, and is constitutional. Diggs and Caminetti were convicted in California of taking two girls to Nevada for immoral purposes. They pleaded in their appeal that the law was not intended to apply to non-commercial vice. A dozen other convictions hinge on this decision. The court held there is no ambiguity in the laws provisional.

the Hole lease. Mr. Kammerdiner is regarded as one of the most valuable and widely experienced oil men in the field today. For the past six years he has been development foreman for the Amalgamated Oil company and during that time he brought in for that company some of the biggest producers, a number of these wells ranking with the best in this field. Mr. Kammerdiner's knowledge of field conditions of properties adjoining the Hole property makes him a particularly valuable man to head the development work on the Hole lease.
The National Products company of Pittsburg has just closed a deal with the Union Oil company for the purchase of the casing head gas on the Hole lease, and will commence the erection of an absorption plant for the manufacture of gasoline. Six months ago the National company built an absorption plant on the Graham Loftus property, the first of its kind in the West. The gas on the G. & L. had been rejected for compressor plant usage, and the success of the National's plant was received with considerable surprise by oil men. The success of the plant was so marked that soon after it was started the owners began looking around for other locations for plants. The gas on the Hole lease is very rich in gasoline and plentiful in quantity. The plant will have a capacity of 1000 gallons daily and will cost in the neighborhood of $18,000. Work was started on the construction of the plant this week.
The Union on the Bastanchury lease are down 3700 feet on No. 5 and better than 2100 on No. 6.
Progress in the redrilling of the Berkenstock well continues. Redrilling at 1060 is reported.
On the Graham & Loftus the Union has No. 39 in the oil sand at approximately 3000 feet. No. 41 is going good at 2200. No. 50 is running along nicely at 2750.
On the Hole lease redrilling is under way at Nos. 6, 8 and 11. No. 9 has been cemented at 3445. Hole 13 is drilling at close to 3500. No. 14 commenced drilling early in the week and material is being put on the ground at No. 17. Progress at Hole 18 is good the depth this week being near the 2500 mark.
On the Naranjal lease the Union is going ahead rapidly with development work. Nar. No. 6 is drilling at 1200 feet. No. 7 is better than 1450. The have been necessary in the past, which were troublesome and expensive and injurious to flavor and texture. The new method is merely the addition of a little acid to the liquid in which the vegetables are canned. He has proved, for example, that peas keep perfectly after being heated to 212 deg F., in a brine containing five ounces of lemon juice to every gallon, while peas heated in the same brine without lemon juice spoil. The same results have been obtained with beans, pumpkins, beets, turnips, artichokes, and asparagus.
Great quantities of fruits and vegetables go to waste every year on the farms of California, or are sold at prices which return little profit, says Prof. Cruess. He points out the opportunity the farm household has to find a local market for home products of this kind at profitable prices, to the benefit of farmer and consumer alike.
When canned fruits or vegetables spoil, says Prof. Cruess, it is because of the growth of one of three different groups of microscopic vegetable organisms—such as the blue/green molds of spoiled fruits, the yeasts familiar in bread making, and the bacteria found in the scum and "mother" of vinegar. None of these organisms ever arise from non-living matter, so if all the germs can be killed by heat and the air be kept out, neither mold, yeast, nor bacteria will cause spoiling.
The molds and years are quickly killed at temperatures below the boiling point of water, but the bacteria on vegetables are astonishingly resistant to heat. Often they can stand the temperature of boiling water for an hour or more—but with the use of lemon juice this problem is solved.
The flavor and texture of fresh fruits can be much better retained if they are canned at low temperatures, and Prof. Cruess has succeeded in safely sterilizing peaches, apricots, pears, cherries and berries at temperatures of from 165 to 175 deg., by filling the cans with fruit and a fairly heavy syrup and keeping the cans in hot water, kept at 175 deg. for ten to twenty minutes, with occasional stirring to hasten the penetration of the heat.
The housewife's success with her canning and preserving will be much aided, says Prof. Cruess, if she will use a good thermometer, costing a dollar, and a "saccharometer," or sugar tester, costing 75 cents, which is useful in making the sugar syrups of the desired strength.
The court held the Mann act also applies to non-commercial vice, and is constitutional. Diggs and Caminetti were convicted in California of taking two girls to Nevada for immoral purposes. They pleaded in their appeal that the law was not intended to apply to non-commercial vice. A dozen other convictions hinge on this decision. The court held there is no ambiguity in the laws provisions.
As a result of the decision, Diggs must serve two years in federal prison and pay a $2000 fine. Caminetti serves eighteen months and pays a $1500 fine. Both were prominent socially and both were married when arrested.
SELLS CHOICE VALENCIA GROVE
C. B. Berger has sold the J. L. Sharer 5-acre Valencia grove, one mile south of Anaheim to Thomas M. Keller of Los Angeles This is one of the choice young groves of this district just coming into bearing. Mr. Sharer purchased this grove less than six months ago.
FEWEST LAWS OF ANY SESSION
Lawmakers ariving at Sacramento are reported to have few laws in their possession to introduce.
Practically all solons throw up their hands and say they have no laws to bring before the two houses.
Senator Chandler of Fresno takes position emphatically that there have been too many laws enacted in the past.
He says it is the duty of the legislator to stop passage of bills even more than to pass them.
"I am going to devote much of my time to stopping promiscuous legislation," says Senator Chandler.
That resolution firmly adhered to will meet with a great deal of support among thinking people.
Of course, the masses of the people are asking few if any new laws—are not petitioning for any in fact.
Indications are that fewer laws, or what are termed freak laws, will show up than ever before.

On the Naranjal lease the Union is going ahead rapidly with development work. Nar. No. 6 is drilling at 1200 feet. No. 7 is better than 1450. The boiler for No. 8 is being installed. No. 10 started a few days ago, is 800 feet.
Excellent progress is being made on the Bixby well. The rotary is running at 1300 feet and barring any hard syrup and keeping the cans in hot water, kept at 175 deg. for ten to twenty minutes, with occasional stirring to hasten the penetration of the heat.
The housewife's success with her canning and preserving will be much aided, says Prof. Cruess, if she will use a good thermometer, costing a dollar, and a "saccharometer," or sugar tester, costing 75 cents, which is useful in making the sugar syrups of the desired strength.
The widespread notion that beet sugar is not as good as cane sugar for putting up fruit is declared by Prof. Cruess to be without foundation, since cane sugar and beet sugar are exactly the same thing chemically.
Special individual directions are given by Prof. Cruess for new and improved methods for canning apples, peaches, apricots, plums, cherries, blackberries, loganberries, raspberries, strawberries, currants, cranberries, gooseberries, grapes, figs, rhubarb, pineapple, oranges and ripe olives.
To can vegetables, says Prof. Cruess is an effective means of providing for a varied family table and yet keeping down expense, so he gives special instructions for canning artichokes, asparagus, green beans, carrots, sweet corn, peas, peppers, pimientos, tomatoes, including ways of canning tomatoes whole, so they may be sliced for salads, and pumpkin so that the California family may have pumpkin pie all the year round.
Figures compiled show the third largest crop in the history of the California walnut industry will bring to Southern California growers about $3,750,000. The yield in 1916 is estimated at 12,150 tons. Higher prices will make net returns to growers the same as in 1915 when the yield was 15,000 tons.
Of course, the masses of the people are asking few if any new laws—are not petitioning for any in fact.
Indications are that fewer laws, or what are termed freak laws, will show up than ever before.

SOMETHING GAINED BY DELAY
The appointment by the president of men to serve as members of the shipping board commands little attention, because the attitude of the administration toward the question of government ownership of merchant vessels has been changed by the course of events. While the folly of putting the government in competition with private companies in the carrying trade was pointed out by practical men, there is no doubt that, if the shipping bill introduced in the last congress had been passed two years ago, public funds would have been used for the purchase or construction of ships. Something has been gained by delay, for while the law now in force permits this use, it is improbable that the government ownership plan will be put in operation.
Not even the president, who with cows have asked for tuberculin tests, and the money is inadequate to the job. It is expected that the present legislature will appropriate enough money so that statewide inspection can be established in an adequate manner.
MINSTRELS COMING TO THE NEW GRAND
A rag time band and real old time minstrelsy is the offering at the New Grand on January 23 and 24, when the Nashville Students will make their first appearance here. As indicated, the students have visited in this section and upon every occasion they have interested those who turn out to hear them with a high class minstrel performance interpreted by a corps of the highest salaried of the negro artists working on the western coast.

with private companies in the carrying trade was pointed out by practical men, there is no doubt that, if the shipping bill introduced in the last congress had been passed two years ago, public funds would have been used for the purchase or construction of ships. Something has been gained by delay, for while the law now in force permits this use, it is improbable that the government ownership plan will be put in operation.
Not even the president, who with Secretary McAdoo urged adoption of this plan in the early months of the war, is likely to see anything of value in it now, and the shipping board cannot buy or build merchant vessels without his approval. Private enterprise is meeting the demands for new shipping, and all the shipyards are busy. Events have proved that the administration was wrong two years ago, and they have justified the action of the republicans and democrats in congress who presented the enactment of the original ship purchase bill. Government ownership would be a costly experiment, and it would check progress in the creation of a merchant marine under the American flag.

FUNDS LACKING FOR MILK INSPECTION
That the proposal to start milk inspection in this county by giving that work to the county stock inspector is not feasible was shown to the satisfaction of the board of supervisors Monday when District Attorney West read two letters, one from Charles Keane, state veterinarian, and the other from F. W. Anderson, secretary of the state dairy bureau. While no motion was passed by the supervisors, it was the expressed opinion that it was not wise to attempt to establish a county or a joint county and city milk inspection at this time.
The letter from the state veterinarian stated that there was a question as to whether such inspection would be legal. The last legislature appropriated $10,000 a year to the state ministrelsy is the offering at the New Grand on January 23 and 24, when the Nashville Students will make their first appearance here. As indicated, the students have visited in this section and upon every occasion they have interested those who turn out to hear them with a high class minstrel performance interpreted by a corps of the highest salaried of the negro artists working on the western coast.
In music alone the negro excels all others, and the lovers of the type of production to be presented on these evenings will find one of the most complete productions of its character to be seen or heard on the road today. The company includes such high class artists as Coy Herndon the great hoop roller; Ed Smith and James Lee, musical artists; end men and comedians and several others of high rank in minstrelsy.
The Nashville Students is one of the best colored shows traveling on the road today. Every member of the company is a star. Vocal and instrumental numbers rendered by soloists and ensemble, dancing, hoop rolling, original jokes and quibs, make up the program that fairly hums from start to finish and keeps the audience in the best of humor throughout. Every joke is new and the line of comedy is of the side splitting variety.
Herndon is a celebrity. He is known as the "world's greatest hoop controller." When a hoop is in his hands it becomes almost human, one really cannot believe the things possible that he does with hoops, but the best way to be convinced is to attend one of the Nashville Student's performances at the New Grand. Don't fail to hear the Tango band concert in front of the theatre on the evenings of the show.

Taken from the novel by John Oxenham, entitled “Hearts in Exile” on
Fri. and Sat. Jan. 19-20
This is a flaming story of burning love. It throbs and thrills and grips attention like a vise. Relentless persecution by an infatuated chief of police of a beautiful young Russian girl, forms the basis for the intense action in this startling drama. The climax of the play is unexpected, but convinces.. Altogether this is a splendid offering.
