FUNSTON DEAD Major General Frederick Funston, who was in command of the United States forces on the Mexican border, died suddenly at a hotel in San Antonio Monday evening, heart failure, caused by acute indigestion, being the cause. General Funston sprang into prominence during the Philippine war. He was colonel of the famous 20th Kansas, which was in the midst of the fighting. Funston's life has been full of thrills, but his most daring feat was swimming the Bag-Bag river with a handful of men, invading the stronghold of the rebels and capturing Aguinaldo, chief of the Fillipinos. His death is a serious loss to the army. INCREASING THE NAVY The senate on Saturday increased the naval appropriation bill already passed by the house from $368,000,000 to $533,000,000. This amount is the largest sum ever appropriated for naval construction by the United States government. The bill includes an appropriation of $150,000,000 to be immediately available for use by the president at his discretion in speeding up the construction of naval vessels already appropriated for. This appro- and give them an automobile ride to nearby beauty spots. There's no doubt about March 2, 1917, will go down in history as one of Santa Ana's biggest days, and anybody who misses the game will be missing a contest worth seeing. NEW DATE FOR FISHING SEASON The fishing season isn't so far away as most people think. One will have to wait until May 1 to catch mountain trout, it is true, but the festive black bass will be anybody's meat in March. Most sportsmen have an idea the black bass season opens March 15, but this is incorrect. The fish and game open season card looks like it, but as a matter of fact, the season opens on March 2 and will remain open in districts 3 and 4 until December 1. In the other fish and game districts the season opens the first of May. Black bass are to be had in a number of lakes and reservoirs in Southern California. The San Fernando reservoir is a favorite fishing place for the general public. In an afternoon one may motor to the Los Angeles river and in a little while seine minnows or crawfish enough to use as bait for fishing the remainder of the day at the reservoir. Further distant, in Santa Barbara and adjoining counties, are numerous lakes where black bass thrive. Most of these require special permits for fishing. One especially has served as a club for a number of Pasadena sportsmen and is both deep and clear. It is now in the control of Los Angeles men, although it may be fished on by others with a special permit. If one doesn't mind a long trip and is willing to go where the real fish are found, the aquoduct reservoirs below Owen's lake will produce the best of sport. Silver lake, near Hollywood, is a favorite place when open, but as it The senate on Saturday increased the naval appropriation bill already passed by the house from $368,000,000 to $533,000,000. This amount is the largest sum ever appropriated for naval construction by the United States government. The bill includes an appropriation of $150,000,000 to be immediately available for use by the president at his discretion in speeding up the construction of naval vessels already appropriated for. This appropriation was proposed in the house when the bill passed that body but was defeated. The senate also added $600,000 to the $5,000,000 house appropriation for batteries on merchant auxillaries. Also increased the $7,000,000 appropriation for ammunition for merchant auxiliaries to $7,450,000. The bill provides for the establishment of a great naval station at San Francisco, a submarine base at San Pedro, and an aviation base at San Diego. The senate has voted in favor of the issuance of $500,000,000 of non-interest bearing bonds to be applied to the army and navy. The naval building program includes construction of three battleships of 42,000 tons displacement, one battle cruiser of 35,000 tons displacement to have a minimum speed of 35 knots, more than 100 submarines, and many other auxiliary vessels. These new battleships are to be the most powerful in the world. The second half of the present session of the state legislature opens next week, and Assemblyman J. C. Burke, Orange county's representative, left Saturday for the state capital. Mr. Burke is young both in years and experience as a law maker, but he is one of the prominent members of the assembly, and take an important part in its deliberations. During the first half of the session he introduced fourteen bills, some of them being important, and he expects to perform some strenuous work in getting them through. He is a convincing talker and a level-headed man, and the measures he fathers will be for the best interests of his constituents. He will endeavor to get through a tri-counties conservation storm water protection bill which will give Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties authority to bridle the Santa Ana River.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The triangular track and field meet held at Fullerton last Saturday resulted in a victory for Fullerton, with Orange taking second and Anaheim taking only third place. It was a bad day for a meet on account of the wind and wet track. Five of our best athletes were not present but even at that Anaheim made a fairly good showing. Orange and Anaheim would have liked it better if Fullerton were minus a certain athlete, Johnson by name who cornered thirty-three points. The track meet between the Freshman class of Fullerton and the Freshman class of Anaheim resulted in a victory for Fullerton. The meet was interesting throughout, especially the relay race which was won by Anaheim. The Senior class was presented the silver trophy cup and pennant last Monday in assembly. The cup was given to the team winning the inter-class track meet while the winning relay team was given the pennant. The Seniors certainly deserve the cup and pennant. On February the 27th there will be given in the high school auditorium, an extra number of the Lyceum course. Schildkrot's Hungarian orchestra is a one hundred and sixty-five dollar attraction which the committee was able to secure only because a certain city could not pay for its course this year. Special permits for fishing. One especially has served as a club for a number of Pasadena sportsmen and is both deep and clear. It is now in the control of Los Angeles men, although it may be fished on by others with a special permit. If one doesn't mind a long trip and is willing to go where the real fish are found, the aqueduct reservoirs below Owen's lake will produce the best of sport. Silver lake, near Hollywood, is a favorite place when open, but as it is under the control of the city of Los Angeles, it is doubtful if it will be thrown open until late in the spring. The limit in size for black bass is not less than seven inches. The limit in numbers is twenty-five a day. FOR SALE—36-inch Cement form in good condition. Price $50. Joe Carroll, West Anaheim.

As a nucleus for the winning home team, Chairman Walker has announced Gavvy Cravath of Laguna, champion home run hitter of the National League, and Carlton Stevens, former big leaguer and recently catcher for the Holmes team, have consented to play against the Cubs on March 2. Other local players and league men will be secured for the All Stars, all determined to beat the Cubs at their own game. Sam Dungan of Santa Ana, old time ball player with a national rep, will probably umpire the slaughter, which will take place on Poly field. The Yannigans which come to Santa Ana will be in charge of Jimmy Sheckard, according to Walker. The Chamber of Commerce hopes to get the team there early on March 2 There will be no business men's luncheon today on account of this being a legal holiday—George Washington's birthday. Next Thursday Gerald W. Sandilands will be chairman of the meeting. Mr. Sandilands has arranged to have Mr. Powell, secretary-manager of the California Citrus Fruit Exchange, make an address upon that occasion. Mr. Powell is an expert on the citrus industry and will have something of interest to offer our citizens. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim.

The with the rotary a contract for the Anaheim Gazette OIL FIELD NOTES The oil correspondent in covering the operations of the local field for the week feels very safe in predicting for the Brea-Fullerton district one of the greatest development periods the field has ever known. This great era of development is not a wild conjecture or a pipe dream that is hoped for in the future. To one who has followed the development progress of the field for the past year the hand writing on the wall is easily deciphered. It is understood that during the past couple of weeks a large amount of quiet investigation of oil bearing properties has been made and a number of leases taken and options given. You may have some property in mind that looks good and on going to see it you find that some one has already leased the property. Available oil property around the Montebello hills are all grabbed up, leases have been taken on property adjoining the Union Oil company’s Myer lease near Whittier, activity around Placentia is strengthened by the commencement of preparations for drilling by the New Era Oil company, and the farmers of the Yorba Linda district have been approached it is understood. Lands in the local field that have any possibilities of becoming productive properties are extremely hard to locate at the present time. A successful well here and there on this new territory recently leased would mean that the entire field will be alive with oil operators in a very short time. Aside from the fact that a large number of leases have been made, all the old line oil companies are running full capacity, new wells are being has been let to the firm of Maxwell and McDowel. The General Petroleum’s Carson tract well is located 8000 feet west of the Standard Oil company’s Dominguez well. The G. P. management have a lot of faith in the beach field prospects and will put down a deep test well. The Standard Oil company has resumed drilling on the Montebello Baldwin hills well with the standard tools. The well is progressing under very encouraging conditions. The corporation that is willing to go out and do the pioneering is entitled to a large measure of success and it is hoped the Standard will be rewarded with a big well at Montebello. On the Emery, Murphy and Whittier leases the Standard is going ahead with development work as fast as possible. On the Emery four strings of tools are running, five on the Murphy and five on the Whittier. On the Fidelity property the Standard report the completion of No. 10. The well is 2309 feet deep and is making 80 bbs. of oil. Coyote 3-2 has been cemented at 3550. Perhaps the most novel arrangement for the drilling of an oil well will be utilized by the Union Oil company on the Myer lease. Three different kinds of power will be used, gas engine, electricity and steam. A couple of wells were drilled on this property several years ago, but owing to the excessively high pressure of gas the well could not be put down deep enough to get into the oil sands. Blow outs occurred, wrecking the derricks and causing the work to be discontinued. These wells were converted into water wells and have been used for farming lands. One of these wells besides being a good water well produces quite an appreciable amount of gas. The plan is to pump the water by means of an electric motor, run the water through a gas tran and remove the pounds cats to eat. The colleges imals are dollar price demeaned to refuse college fees.

This company is cleaning up all its properties and putting all its equipment in first class condition. Lands in the local field that have any possibilities of becoming productive properties are extremely hard to locate at the present time. A successful well here and there on this new territory recently leased would mean that the entire field will be alive with oil operators in a very short time. Aside from the fact that a large number of leases have been made, all the old line oil companies are running full capacity, new wells are being stated each week and from two to five wells are completed in the same period. Oil men have the high price of gasoline and refined products, the strong demand for the crude around the dollar mark in their favor, and the writer goes on record to state that the local field stands on the eve of one of its greatest development periods. The Amalgamated Oil company have two producers that have settled down to a steady production. Hualde No. 17 is good for better than 100 bbls a day, and the Anaheim Union Lease well No. 30 just completed at a depth of 3210 is doing better than 200 a day. The Amalgamated Oil company cemented Hualde No. 26. Anaheim Union No. 40 is being tested out and No. 41 is ready and rigged up for drilling. The Birch Oil company has completed No. 10 at a depth of 4260 feet, the well is being tubed and will be on the beam in a few days. The well finished up very encouragingly and the company have every reason to hope for a good well. At No. 11 progress has been delayed somewhat on account of having to drill up some pipe. No. 13 is held up temporarily with a fishing job. At No. 14 the casing reported parted last week has been successfully joined together and drilling is going ahead at 1225. The Brea Canyon Oil company report No. 29: the freak well of the district as still doing close to 300 bbls daily. No. 30 is drilling at 225 with a 185 feet of 19 inch casing in the hole. No. 14 producing well is being deepened. The Brea Canyon company will continue its development with the starting of two new wells one of which will be under way in the next few days. The Columbia Oil company at Olinda have completed their No. 27 and report the well doing 500 bbls of nice oil at a depth of a little better than 3300 feet. No. 25 is on the cable tools and drilling. No. 26 is drilling and is in the oil sand. No. 29 is rigidly high pressure of gas the well could not be put down deep enough to get into the oil sands. Blow outs occurred, wrecking the derricks and causing the work to be discontinued. These wells were converted into water wells and have been used for farming lands. One of these wells besides being a good water well produces quite an appreciable amount of gas. The plan is to pump the water by means of an electric motor, run the water through a gas trap and remove the gas, using the gas for the operation of a gas engine. The gas engine is expected to operate a triplex pump that will handle the rotary mud and water. A steam boiler has been installed at the well for the running of the engine that will drive the rotary table. Rigging up work at Myer No. 3 is going rapidly and drilling is expected to start up in a few days. PRENDERGAST BILL FOR ANIMAL SLAUGHTER VICIOUS An appeal has been issued from the headquarters of the state humane society in San Francisco, urging the public to assist in defeating Assembly bill 798 introduced in the legislature by Assemblyman N.

The Brea Canyon company will continue its development with the starting of two new wells one of which will be under way in the next few days. The Columbia Oil company at Olinda have completed their No. 27 and report the well doing 500 bbls of nice oil at a depth of a little better than 3300 feet. No. 25 is on the cable tools and drilling. No. 26 is drilling and is in the oil sand. No. 29 is rigged up and will be the next to start drilling. Progress on the Orange No. 7 is good, the well is drilling at better than 1500 feet. It is reported that the Fisher well is producing a higher gravity of oil than formerly. During the past week the gravity went up half a degree. This is the second well in the local field to better the quality of the oil produced. The Fullerton Oil company are drilling at No. 10 and are at the 2550 mark. At No. 11 the 10 inch casing is going in and drilling will start as soon as the pipe is in. No. 12 is being pumped and is showing traces of oil. The Fullerton people have faith in pumping their new wells a long time in case they did not show oil on the start, one of the company's best wells was pumped for six months, and made practically all water the greater part of that time. The General Petroleum Oil company are rushing preparations for the commencement of drilling on the Carson ranch at Long Beach. Superintendent Burrows states that the rig is up, quarters for the men have been built, and the preparations for drilling are so nearly completed that it is thought that the actual hole will be made early next week. The well will be drilled with the rotary as far as possible.

This commalls its properties equipment in first pounds to sell unclaimed dogs and cats to medical colleges for vivesecion. The bill fixes the sum at which colleges shall be permitted to buy animals at fifty cents for cats and one dollar for dogs and makes it a misdemeanor for the keeper of a pound to refuse to surrender animals to any college upon tender of the amount. The humane association, which represents nearly fifty societies in California, with a membership of about 8000 persons, opposes the bill on the grounds that it would nullify the principal relief work of many societies which operate pounds. In all large commuities it has been found that the only way to operate the pound with an absence of abuse and cruelty to the animals involved, is to place it in the hands of the local humane society. In some cities the ordinances in effect permit owners to reclaim unredeemed dogs, even after they have been sold. In some cases 30 days is allowed them for the purpose. In all probability few owners would be able to reclaim their dogs after they had been turned over to a medical college. Many people make a practice of sending homeless and unwanted animals to the pound, knowing that they will be placed in good homes or humanely destroyed. If such a law were in effect, sick, starved and ownerless animals would be permitted to roam the sterets by the public in preference to condemning them to vivisection. The bill has nothing to do with vivisection, and the public should not confuse the issue. Humanitarians object to the measure for the reason that if it were to become a law, societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals would become simply agents of the medical colleges for gathering up animals to be experimented upon. The colleges may, without any change in the present law, raise their covers all the years from 1866 to 1915. It shows that despite the present high prices we have not yet reached the level of those in the years immediately following the civil war. During the 10 year period from 1866 to 1875 the average price of wheat in this country was 108.6 cents (in gold). For the 10 year period from 1906 to 1915 the average price was only 86.8 cents. The year 1886, in which the department of Agriculture began its series of continuous reports of the important crops, marked, however, the high level for wheat. From that time, in a number of market fluctuations, the price dropped until, in the 10 year period from 1886 to 1895, it was down to 68.3 cents. The lowest point ever reached was in 1894, when the average price was 49.1 cents. On the other hand, the average yield per acre has been steadily increasing. In 1886 it was 9.9 bushels and 16.9 in 1915, an increase of 7 bushels an acre. This increase has, of course, been marked by declines in bad years, but the averages for the flv 10-year periods from 1866 to 1915 show a steady increase, from 11.9 bushels, average in the decade 1866-1875, to 15.1 bushels in the decade 1906-1915.
