The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OUR FUTURE ADMIRAL, MAYBE We should dislike very much indeed to say that our young friend Dale Quarton is a knocker, but figure-tively speaking, he stands hat in hand, knocking at the door for admission into the naval academy at Annapolis. He took his final examinations in Los Angeles last week and his papers have been forwarded to Washington, whence he expects to hear therefrom in two or three weeks. At the initial examination two months ago, he stood first in a list of fifty alternates, and inasmuch as congress has recently increased the number of cadets allotted to each district from three to four, it would seem, apart from his excellent character and education, he stands a splendid chance of being named one of the four appointees. At the final examination in Los Angeles last week, he was the only representative from this district, the other seven lads in attendance being from the two Los Angeles districts. His principal is F. C. Cotton, who was not present, but who might have taken the examination in San Diego. Our young friend will be 19 years old in April. He stands 5 feet 11 inches and weighs 163 pounds. He is a graduate of the Anaheim high school and is at present attending Po. of the president's note to the belligerent powers has been suspended "in view of the growing seriousness of the international situation." It has solemnly been declared that a tattling child, repeating domestic confidences, betrayed the secret. Nobody, let it hastily be added, believes this except those who believe that the moon is made of green cheese. Neither will anybody with a mind in his head believe that the inquiry has been dropped because of the international situation. Intelligent and sane men will say that the majority in the committee rushed to cover to hide the facts; that the majority in the House have sought to protect somebody; and that the majority thank heaven for the appearance of a plausible excuse for quitting a task they never wanted to undertake and from which they have been seeking to free themselves ever since they embarked on it. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The next interscholastic debate is with Inglewood Friday, March 23. Anaheim has the negative side of the question, "Resolved, That high schools should substitute intrascholastic for interscholastic athletics." Anaheim is represented by Irma Mills and Alva Rogers. The last Lyceum number of the season, The Gamut Club Triquartet comes next Friday evening, March 2. This will close the course. The Gamut club needs no introduction, for their musical organization is known all over Southern California. Don't miss this last number. Through the course this year we have been able to have seven good numbers at the nominal price of fourteen cents each. Everyone should get in and boost for a good Lyceum course for next year.

A fishing the progress of N parted casing h AUTOMOBILE THEFTS In the one county of Los Angeles, 130 automobiles were stolen during the month of January. For the same month a year before the losess by theft totaled 85. Perhaps this will be chronicled as another growing industry. Police in city and county have had considerable practice in the chasing of automobile thieves, but they have not developed much speed. The thieves get a few laps the start, and seldom lose the lead. In the instance in which officers succeed in overtaking the quarry, it must be admitted that the courts have not encouraged them to believe that the success was worth while. Guilty men have been freed on the excuse that they hand been taking joyrides. If one steals an automobile, and is taken before having a chance to dispose of it, one easily wins to liberty by stating that the only purpose in view was a joyride. This reduces the episode to the level of the innocent prank. In most cases where there has been a verdict the punishment has been light, or has been nothing. A suspended sentence is no punishment. Human ingenuity has devised pretty good automobiles, but has before it still the task of preventing the theft of them. Hundreds of automobiles are parked along city streets. Any respectable looking man who comes along may enter one of these, and drive away without being asked a The last Lyceum number of the season, The Gamut Club Triquartet comes next Friday evening, March 2.

Mrs. Joseph Helmsen, who has been seriously ill for a week past, is recovering and will soon be able to be out again. Anaheim Parent Teachers association will meet on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Fremont school. Pupils of the Fremont school will give a fine program. City Marshal Kellenberger and wife motored up to Los Angeles yesterday. They were accompanied by three boys who had strayed away from their homes in the city and were picked up by the police. Kellenberger turned them over to the juvenile court. The will of Charles E. Ruddock has been filed for probate. It leaves $1000 to his brother, W. C. Ruddock, and real estate in Fullerton to his daughter, Mrs. Pearl L. Oswald. The balance of the estate goes to the widow, Mrs. Lila L. Ruddock to be held by her until her death, after which it becomes the property of the daughter.

The pupils of Katella school gave an interesting entertainment Monday night a portion of the program being in commemoration of the birthdays of Lincoln and Washington. A large audience enjoyed the affair. Mrs. E. R. Turck was hostess to the Whist club at her home on North Lemon street Friday afternoon. The decorations of the house were yellow and green, while the tables were decorated in honor of Washington's birthday. In the whist games Mrs. Joe Bennerscheld won first honors, Mrs. R. H.

In most cases where there has been a verdict the punishment has been light, or has been nothing. A suspended sentence is no punishment. Human ingenuity has devised pretty good automobiles, but has before it still the task of preventing the theft of them. Hundreds of automobiles are parked along city streets. Any respectable looking man who comes along may enter one of these, and drive away without being asked a question. Everybody sees people every day driving away thus, and without a thought that among the lot may be thieves. The experts in this crime can defy a lock, and they do not mind at all the effort of the owner to so impair the working power of his motor that it cannot be operated in his absence. The experts carry the necessary tools and the small extra parts. The very openness with which they set about fixing the machine proves their honesty to passing observers. Tired of working in the streets, the experts asks a ride of an accommodating driver, and later, thumping him on the head proceed without him. Or they enter an empty garage and hide there until the machine is brought back for the night, when they calmly press the button and go away likely with a jubilant honking. Apparently the only way to defeat these crooks is to make the penalty so severe for those arrested that the rest will be scared off. As yet they show no signs of fright. Apprehension seems to be wholly on the part of the owner, whose investment is large, or his chauffeur, who hates the idea of being dumped into the road by a gang of bandits and having to walk home. THE REASON FOR QUITTING The public inquiry into the circumstances of the premature disclosure Mrs. E. R. Turck was hostess to the Whist club at her home on North Lemon street Friday afternoon. The decorations of the house were yellow and green, while the tables were decorated in honor of Washington's birthday. In the whist games Mrs. Joe Bennerscheldt won first honors, Mrs. R. H. Seale second and Mrs. Max Nebelung third. The work of constructing the new cement bridge across the Santa Ana river on West Chapman is nearly completed, and the bridge will be open for traffic in a short time. The Anaheim National Bank gave Deputy Marshal Bud Sackett a box of fine cigars the other day as a reward for paying particular attention to business while on duty. At three o'clock one morning recently the burglar alarm in the bank sounded and Officer Sackett was there in a jiffy. There were no burglars in sight and the only way the officer could account for the alarm was the fact that a heavy auto truck passing may have jarred the outer alarm and set it going. Sackett notified the bank officials who made an investigation and found everything in the bank intact. State Inheritance Tax Appraiser J. N. Anderson, H. W. Schultz and E. K.

At a depth of ing of oil was noticed the well was cemeteried out the cement plug a very good grade of etrated and the well forated pipe, and ting put in and the oil will be known before week. The last runs of oil of considerable OIL FIELD NOTES Development work in the Brea-Fulerton field is going ahead rapidly and is coming up to all the perdictions made for the year 1917. Last year at this time we had a lot of work under way and thought the field was making great strides, it was, but the pace has quickened. At the close of the year the field had 72 wells drilling, 647 were producing with a daily production of 44,127 bbls. At the present time the number of wells drilling is 71, the number producing has increased to 661 and the daily production figure has climbed to 49,251 bbls. This little survey and the figures accompanying it place this field on the up grade column in the industrial field of Orange county. The Amalgamated Oil company has No. 26 on the Hualde tract cemented, and expect to open up the well and commence drilling there the first of the month. On the Anaheim Union lease they have No. 30 completed and doing 200 bbls daily. No. 40 has just been put on the beam and is making a similar production. No. 41 is rigged up and ready for the commencement of drilling. The Birch Oil company are continuing with the pumping of No. 10 and feel that will will turn out all right. It was finished last week at a depth of 4260 feet, and has been making mostly water since going on the beam. However the well is showing more oil at the present time and the management are hopeful. No. 11 is still drilling up 12½ casing and the tools are within 14 feet of the original bottom. A fishing job is holding back the progress of No. 13. At No. 14 the parted casing has been successfully fitted well in sight cannot be doubted. The outcome will mean a great extension of the western portion of the local oil fields and will be a tremendous booster for the little town of Montebello. It is understood that a lot of land has been leased in the immediate vicinity of the Baldwin hills well and a lot of new work will be started in the very near future. The Standard is to be congratulated on the pioneering work and deserve to get a good well in that they were willing to go out and test some new and unknown territory. The Copa De Oro are now down a depth of 2800. At this depth a strong gas pressure is present and the formation is looking very much like an oil well is in sight. The success of this company will open up Chino can you to immediate and extensive development work. The Gold Seal are also meeting with good drilling success and are down 1700 feet. On the Emery lease the Standard has six strings of tools running, drilling going on at Nos. 28, 29, 30, 31, 32. On the Murphy lease five strings are running. Three are redrilling and two are fishing jobs. New rigs are up for Nos. 31 and 32. The Standard has 41, 42, 46, 47, and 48 drilling on the Whittler lease, and grades have been made for Nos. 49 and 50. The Standard has commenced drilling at Coyote 2-9 and are down 800 feet. Coyote 3-2 is standing cemented at 3550. At Dominguez they are putting in 10 inch casing and drilling with the standard tools. The Union has more strings of tools running and more men on its payroll than ever before. They have started a great development era and have a lot of active work on hand. On the Bastanchury two strings are often made low by commission and storage men for the purpose of so discouraging farmers and gardeners that they will leave their vegetables in the ground. The smaller the gathered crop the easier it is to control and corner the output. Not long ago attention was called to a vegetable shortage, and consequent high prices for table necessaries, throughout one of the greatest agricultural states in the Union, Georgia. It was shown that, in one corner of Southern Georgia, vegetables enough could be raised in a single season to supply more than the whole state for a year. The reason the farms of this corner are not cultivated to their capacity is that, after the vegetables are raised and gathered, they are shut out from trust controlled markets, and are, therefore, left on the hands of the producer. The story of that Georgia corner is typical of all the corners in Georgia, save, perhaps, those in which populous towns and cities, and therefore, accessible markets, are situated. And what has happened in Georgia for years, and is likely to continue to happen so long as the transportation system of the United States is as crude as it is today, happens and will continue to happen indefinitely in a score or more of other agricultural states. The Farmers Association of Louisiana, through its president, an important planter, has just spoken on the subject. This statement should be interesting to all wage and salary earners. It runs in part: "We can produce for this section, around Bogalusa, 250 bushels of sweet potatoes per acre, grown principally for feed. After growing the crop along with some peanuts and chefas, swine are turned into the field and allowed to fatten, after which we sell the meat at 10 cents per pound, retail. If we..."

The West Coast company have three wells drilling in the Ollinda district and are making exceptionally good progress on all the wells; No. 54 is drilling at 2258; No. 80 at 2300 and No. 84 now stands at 1235. This com- The Brea Canyon company's No. 29 well is passing the freak stage and is a consistent producer making 150 bbls a day. The gas production keeps well up to the 500,000 mark. The gas is very rich and is being compressed by the Brea Gasoline company. No. 30 is drilling at 300 and doing nicely. This company have No. 31 in mind and will get the plans for the new well in working order in a short time. The Columbia Oil Producing company are making good progress on Orange No. 7 in spite of the long and continued difficulties encountered in drilling the well. The tools are now operating at better than 1500 feet. In the Olinda field the Columbia have No. 26 drilling at cloes to 2500 with encouraging prospects. No. 29 is drilling and in the oil sand. No. 29 a new well, was started early in the week and is down 80 feet. The Fullerton Oil company have No. 10 drilling at 2596, and No. 11 at 2595. Both wells are running along good and are making lots of hole daily. Their No. 12 well is still pumping considerable water, however the oil showing is getting stronger, and we hope to report a good well in a short time. The General Petroleum company is rigging up on their initial well on the Carson tract and will be underway in a few days. The well is a mile west of the Standard's Dominguez property and will be watched with considerable interest in connection with the other wells that are being drilled along the water front. The Standard, Union, General Petroleum and Highland Development companies are all busy and it will be interesting to see who strikes the oil first. The West Coast company have three wells drilling in the Ollinda district and are making exceptionally good progress on all the wells; No. 54 is drilling at 2258; No. 80 at 2300 and No. 84 now stands at 1235.

They have started a great development era and have a lot of active work on hand. On the Bastanchury two strings are running, Nos. 5 and 6. No. 5 is better than 3800 and No. 6 is drilling at 1500. On the Berkenstock lease the redrilling of No. 2 is going along nicely. The tools are now at 1700 feet. The Graham Loftus lease is the scene of the same activiy. Abandonment work on No. 29 and 35 is almost finished. No. 39 is drilling in the oil sand at 3200. No. 40 has been cemented at a little better than 3400. No. 41 is rotating at 2300.

On the Myer lease east of Whittler they have the rigging up work almost completed and drilling will start probably before the end of the week. The Santa Fe Oil company have five strings of tools at work. No. 41 is drilling in shale at 2820, No. 74 is down 2382 in sandy shale, No. 76 is 1540 also in the shale and No. 77 made a 100 feet since last reported and is now 760 feet in the shale.

WHY FOOD IS HIGH "Before spring comes," said a recent telegram from Portland, Maine, "cabbage will be selling at $100 a ton. Wholesale dealers in produce are now paying $80 a ton for this vegetable, and even at that figure are not able to get all they need." Potatoes went up to 70 cents a peck, in Boston, the other day. All sorts of garden produce is at the top notch because the supply is low. The supply is low not because production last spring and summer was not ample, but because distribution, as usual, was inadequate. In many of the agricultural states garden crops were left to decay in the fields, because the price offered in the season would not compensate the farm- FOR SALE—10 acres in West Anaheim, on South East corner of Broadway and Garden Grove road.

Santa Ana is to be the terminus of three feeder lines, and on account of its relative importance should have a much larger depot than the other cities of the county, but it's a certainty we are not going to put an expensive depot in the rear of the tin cans, waste iron and junk on the Thompson lot, which he so far has refused to sell, or else puts such an exorbitant price upon it that we cannot buy it."

George W. Williams sued his wife, Wallie Williams, for divorce, alleging a lot of things that were not particularly nice. Wallie came back with a hard right to center, by charging the plaintiff with contributing to the delinquency of Henrietta Dean, a minor child, and with living with Mrs. Louise Schulz, in a state of illegality as well as immorality. The court had just ordered Mr. Williams to pay his wife $25 for court costs and $100 for attorney's fees before March 29, and had set the case for retrial on that date; Mr. Williams started to leave the court room when he was arrested on the charges preferred by his wife. Mrs. Schulz was brought before Justice Cox and was held until $300 bail was furnished. ANAHEIM FIRE BOYS FEAST AT BARBECUE C. G. Sparkes Gives Them a Royal Entertainment Tuesday Night Because they made a long run to his place on the Ball road a couple of weeks ago and saved other property when his tank house was destroyed by fire, C. G. Sparkes royally entertained the members of the Anaheim fire department at a barbecue Tuesday night. All the boys were present with the exception of Cooney Mauerhan, as it was necessary for one of them to stay with the engine. Cooney was not forgotten, however, as a generous supply of the eatables was sent to him. Mr. Sparkes understands how to entertain, and he provided everything that was needed to make the affair a success. Besides barbecued beef, pork and mutton, there were numerous side dishes. The eighteen hungry firemen made heavy inroads in the supply but there was lots of it left when all appetites had been satisfied. AUTO AND MOTORCYCLE MEET ON BOULEVARD Two Persons Injured and Machines Badly Damaged in Impact In a collision between an automobile and a motorcycle Friday evening on the viaduct crossing the sandwash north of town, two persons were slightly injured and both machines were damaged, the auto having a narrow escape from plunging down the embankment. The motorcycle was ridden by John Watkins of Fullerton. He was following a stage, going north. The stage was flagged by a person who was waiting to board it, and the motorcycle drove around it, falling to notice that a car was coming from the north until it was too late to avoid a collision. The auto was from Long Beach and one of the occupants was Mrs. Wesley Warren. Rapid increase in the price of metals has brought with it an increase in the demand for trained mining men and assayers, according to a special bulletin of the Los Angeles Y. M. C. A., a part of whose educational department is devoted to instruction in mining and allied subjects. A number of young men from various sections in California have recently completed courses in that school and have been employed immediately at an average salary of $125 a month by some of the big mining companies of the west or southwest. The assayer, it is said, takes a short course of from three to six months, while the mining engineer devotes two years to the subject and studies every process of mining, assaying, cyaniding, etc. FOR SALE—36-inch Cement form in good condition.
