OIL PROSPECTING IN NEW COUNTY FIELDS
E. L. DOHENY, CALIFORNIA OIL KING, IS DEVELOPING MORE TERRITORY
LARGE AMOUNT OF CAPITAL WILL BE INVESTED IN EXTENDING OUR AREA
E. L. Doheny, one of the big oil kings, has become interested in the oil prospects on the Newport mesa, and in time will go to the bottom of the field and fully determine whether oil is to be found there in paying quantities. He has the money, he has the men of experience and he has everything at his command necessary to prospect any field.
He has satisfied himself that the section is a good prospective field and is going to put good money—and lots of it—in it in an effort to open a new field to add to the oil wealth of Orange county.
Doheny and others interested with him have started a rig on a location which heretofore has not been prospected. It is on the Banning property along the Southern Pacific branch road to Newport Beach. It is about a mile west of Paularino and just north of the county boulevard to the coast. The rig now being installed is not the one that will be used in going to the depth necessary to strike oil. A small rig is being put up, and this is being done, it is understood, for the purpose of holding a lease on the property.
near Garden Grove from half an acre on the Palma place he had 12,086 pounds, which he shipped by express to Camden, N. J. From the Griswell half-acre, 14,000 pounds were harvested and from the Buck place 4000 pounds.
A peculiar feature in the growth of licorice is that the roots do not penetrate the soil below the surface water and in some fields it was only necessary to plow once for harvesting, while in others it was necessary to plow them with a road grader to move the dirt aside, and plow again to a depth of three feet. It takes about five years for the growth to be worth harvesting.
The licorice was planted on these three places by Mr. Griswell about forty years ago. It grows like alfalfa.
SUGAR BEET THRIPS CONTROLLED BY SPRAYING
Greenhouse Pest a Menace to Important Industry
The sugar beet thrip is an imported insect recognized as a greenhouse pest and also injuring outdoor plants, principally sugar beets and sugar cane, according to a recent professional paper of the United States Department of Agriculture, by William H. White.
The insect is dark brown or black in color, and about 1.3 millimeter in length. The injury caused is similar to that of other species, such as the onion thrips and bean thrips. The plant is attacked by the adults and by the nymphs, or young, in the same manner. The leaf cells are pierced, and the plant juices withdrawn, causing the cells to shrivel and turn white. When a number of these cells are destroyed they appear as irregular white or light brown spots. If the attack is severe, the whole leaf surface becomes invested by these spots and finally shrivels and dies.

The rig now being installed is not the one that will be used in going to the depth necessary to strike oil. A small rig is being put up, and this is being done, it is understood, for the purpose of holding a lease on the property.
Freighting conditions are such that new equipment cannot be gotten there at this time, but it will be forthcoming in time, and when it arrives the rig now building will be supplanted by the most modern oil drilling equipment.
George Huntington of Newport Heights, who has been identified with attempted oil developments in that vicinity for many years, also is interested in the new project, and he believes now, as he did many years ago, that oil is there, and in paying quantities.
The entrance of Doheny into the development work there has created a great stir in the field, and it is felt now that assurances of a big oil field is only a matter of time.
There was recorded in Santa Ana an oil lease of 650 acres from Mary Banning Norris and Mary H. Banning to W. H. Beman, according to the lease, lies north of the Fairview Farms tract, east of the Fairview county road and west of the S. P. tracks, and is a part of the Banning tract.
The lease was signed last December, and under it Beman agreed that drilling should commence on or before March 13, 1917. Beman was undoubtedly an agent. The document as filled shows that on March 12, 1917, it was transferred by Beman to H. F. Collins. It is believed that it is the Doheny people who have taken over the lease.
Under it provision is made for the development of the entire 650 acres, provided oil in paying quantities is struck in No. 1 well. Within 90 days after the oil developed in paying quantities, three other wells must be started. One-eighth royalty is to be paid on all oil developed, and one cent per 1000 cubic feet for all gas developed and sold on the tract. The lease is for 20 years.
FIRST STEP TOWARD DEFENSE
The United States war department onion thrips and bean thrips. The plant is attacked by the adults and by the nymphs, or young, in the same manner. The leaf cells are pierced, and the plant juices withdrawn, causing the cells to shrivel and turn white. When a number of these cells are destroyed they appear as irregular white or light brown spots. If the attack is severe, the whole leaf surface becomes invested by these spots and finally shrivels and dies.
Spraying has been found to be the most effective means of controlling this insect, both in the green house and out of doors. The following solution used in one experiment killed all adult insects and about 95 per cent of the nymphs:
Nicotin sulphate ...ounces... 6
Fish oil soap ...pounds... 4
Water ...gallons...50
The spray should be applied to both sides of the leaves; if possible, on a dull or cloudy day. The adults are not so active at this time and are therefore, less likely to move out of reach of the spray.
In the green house the sugar beet thrips may be held in check by the application of a strong spray of water to the foliage. This washes the younger stages from the leaf; and as these are unable to reach the food plant again, they soon die.
TUSTIN RANCHER IS SLUGGED AND ROBBED
Highwaymen Speedily Arrested by Los Angeles Police
Attacked by two men who lured him into an alley in the rear of 216 South Spring street, Los Angeles, Marshall Horton of Tustin, a bean grower on the Irvine ranch was beaten and robbed of a valuable gold watch and a bank book Friday night. A few minutes later Lieutenant Johnson and Detective Barr arrested L. W. Stanley and Henry Lynn, unemployed bartenders on suspicion of highway robbery.
The arrest of the suspects was due to the quick action of Frank Westcott, a street car inspector of 1358 West Thirtleth street, who saw three men go into the alley.
Watching the men, Westcott saw a struggle and then noticed Horton when he fell heavily to the pavement. Running to the aid of the stricken man, Westcott evidently frightened the other two men and they fled.
Kelp Bill is Passed
A double victory scored in the asses county when a bill was turned off the kelp to the State Mission passed the wah handled by A Burke. It had the legislative committee Chambers of Co county.

FIRST STEP TOWARD DEFENSE
The United States war department has purchased a tract of 15,200 acres of land on Monterey bay, the papers being signed Thursday by Secretary Baker. This is the first step toward carrying out the government's plans for Pacific coast defense.
Ostensibly the primary purpose of the war department in making the purchase of this land, which has ten times the area of the Presidio of San Francisco, is to make it a training camp. But back of this, in the belief of competent authorities, are other and far reaching plans for an elaborate military establishment that will include permanent aviation base and training station, provision for the concentration of a large body of troops and probably the transfer of the Presidio of Monteray, a permanent military post, from its present site.
LICORICE IN ORANGE COUNTY
An industry worthy of mention and one of great interests is that of licorice growing. While the U.S. Bureau of Agriculture does not advise planting it, owing to it being impossible ever to eradicate it, when, under favorable conditions of growth and harvesting it yields a crop it is well worth marketing. J. N. Swope has been harvesting the root for some time
The arrest of the suspects was due to the quick action of Frank Westcott, a street car inspector of 1358 West Thirtieth street, who saw three men go into the alley.
Watching the men, Westcott saw a struggle and then noticed Horton when he fell heavily to the pavement. Running to the aid of the stricken man, Westcott evidently frightened the other two men and they fled.
Instead of remaining with the semi-conscious victim Westcott followed the two men. He saw them enter the Alexandria hotel. He hurried to a telephone and notified the police. Lieutenant Johnson and Detective Barr arrived and placed the two men under arrest. They denied having assaulted or robbed Horton, declaring that he simply stumbled and fell.
Shortly after the men were arrested Sam Poulos, a bootblack at the Alexandria hotel, appeared at Central station with a check book bearing Horton's name. Poulos said he found the book behind his stand, near where Stanley and Lynn had been standing. The officers searched the alley and found Horton's watch near where the men had been seen struggling.
Horton was in a dazed condition when taken to the receiving hospital and was unable to give a connected account of the alleged attack and robbery. The police surgeons pronounced him suffering from concussion of the brain and lacerations and contusions on the face and head.

ORANGE COUNTY NOTES
Damaged Public Property:—
William H. Richards of La Habra, is in jail, pending trial on a charge of malicious mischief preferred by E. C. Proud of La Habra. The prisoner last week damaged the side walk leading from the business center to the school house as revenge for non-payment of a sum of money he believed to be due to him. The sidwalk was built by public subscription and was made of decomposed granite. The work was in charge of a committee of citizens and was done by piecemeal, as the money became available. Richards was employed on the work for some time, having agreed to work at $2.25 a day. When the fund became exhausted he was paid in full. Later he claimed that he was to have been paid $2.50 per day and made a demand on Proud Sunday night for the balance due him. Falling to get satisfaction, he secured a pick and dug out the scantlings on each side of the walk supporting the dirt, doing considerable damage to the walk.
Weaver Will be Returned:—
Irwin Weaver, the man who showed his appreciation of the kindness shown him by Rev. J. A. Stevenson by selling Stevenson's machine and pocketing the money, and who sold a machine for Charles L. Davis to Emerson Marks of Fullerton and kept the money, will be returned to Coliformia penitentiary when his term in Ohio expires unless he is prosecuted for the crimes committed here. He was out on parole at the time of operations here, and E. H. Whyte, state parole officer, has advised the sheriff's office that he will authorize the Ohio officers to turn Weaver over to him unless it is the desire of the sheriff to press the charges in this county. Weaver had five months to serve when he was paroled. Weaver was home of C. A. Westgate at Buaro with a load of ha yand he was paid $20 by Westgate. When he returned to the barn he told Culver that Westgate would call and pay him later. That evening he asked for his time and was paid in full by Culver. Wednesday it developed that the day before he had forged Culver's name to two checks for $7.50. One was drawn on the First National bank and was cashed by Mrs. Nellie I. Lewis, who conducts a rooming huse. The other was made out on First National bank check, with the "First National" scratched out and "California" substituted. The latter was passed at otomer who finds a satisfactory article from a certain ranch remembers the name.

Whyte, state parole officer, has advised the sheriff's office that he will authorize the Ohio officers to turn Weaver over to him unless it is the desire of the sheriff to press the charges in this county. Weaver had five months to serve when he was paroled. Weaver was sentenced to two years in the East, and Deputy Sheriff Maxwell states that he will be brought here for trial just as soon as he is released from the penitentiary.
Kelp Bill is Passed:—
A double victory Wednesday was scored in the assembly by Orange county when a bill which provides for the turning of the entire control of kelp to the State Fish & Game Commission passed the Assembly. The bill wah handled by Assemblyman J. C. Burke. It had the recommendation legislative committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county.
The kelp bill as it passed the Assembly provides for a tax of a cent and a half per wet ton on all kelp cut. It also provides that the kelp must be weighed under the supervision of the Fish and Game Commission.
An attempt that was made to have the income from the kelp tax turned over to the state school fund failed.
Representatives from the citrus districts are pleased over the defeat of the bill abolishing private employment bureaus.
Halliday Will Contested:—
Alleging that the late Daniel Halliday was mentally weak and debilitated at the time he wrote a codicil to his will, Ruth Green Ferguson, a niece of the deceased and a beneficiary under his will has filed a petition to revoke probation of the codicil and Judge Thomas issued a citation to Susan M. Rutherford and Hal McCulough, as beneficiaries, and G.J. Mosbaugh as executor and others to appear in court at 9 a.m., July 9, 1917, and show cause why the petition should not be granted.
Halladay died March 1, 1916, and left an estate valued at $148,374.30, according to t he petition. In his original will he provided that his nephews
That evening he asked for his time and was paid in full by Culver. Wednesday it developed that the day before he had forged Culver's name to two checks for $7.50. One was drawn on the First National bank and was cashed by Mrs. Nellie I. Lewis, who conducts a rooming huse. The other was made out on First National bank check, with the "First National" scratched out and "California" substituted. The latter was passed at the Chicago clothing store. Both were made payable to C. P. Gray and endorsed by him.
ROAD BUILDING YEAR
The year 1917 seems destined to be among its various claims to historic fame, a great year for road building. All over the country there is more interest in this subject than ever before. The federal appropriation for encouragement of highway improvement is already producing gratifying results. There is $4,850,000 of the nation's money available for this year, to states that match their allotment dollar for dollar. Many states have taken action to get the benefit of their portion, and nearly all may be expected to do so.
The effect of this stimulus to state road making will be cumulative. By 1921 the federal money to be apportioned among the states will amount to $25,000,000.
Even that big sum is little more than a drop in the bucket compared with the money needed to cover the country with an adequate system of highways, or compared indeed with the money actually expended at present. The nation is paying about $300,000 a year for highway maintenance and construction. The rate of expenditure is rapidly increasing, and will continue to do so. Of our $2,450,000 miles of roads, only 11.3 per cent are yet surfaced. The task is one that can never be really finished. There will always be more roads to build, and all the roads built will always need repairing.
But the public is beginning to realize that, no matter how great the outlay, the money is never wasted if the roads are well built. It pays big dividends in making country life pleasanter, cheapening transportation and raising real estate values. And the federal contribution is destined to bear fruit out of all proportion to its actual
ORANGE COUNTY HAS
A POTATO KING
Eugene H. Grubb, Famous Expert,
Says A. J. Young is a Wizard
In the opinion of Eugene H. Grubb, the famous potato expert who has been in Southern California for several weeks past glving demonstrations in potato planting, A. J. Young of Huntington Beach is a wonder.
Young is known locally as the "Orange County Potato King," and on visiting his ranch at Huntington Beach Grubb was very much surprised to find that Young was doing a work there and using a method that would be worth millions of dollars to tuber growers in California if adopted.
"Young is a Burbank, an Edison, a Lincoln," said Grubb. He is one of those geniuses that are developed every once in a while. He is a sure enough potato grower. He grows them on a scientific basis.
"His knowledge of soils, fertility and plant foods is worth millions of dollars to potato growers of California. He has practically the same peatlands as the growers of the San Joaquin valley, yet he has been getting a yield of about 600 bushels of potatoes to the acre every year for the past twenty-two years, while the San Joaquin farmers have been exhausting their lands and reducing their production from 600 and 700 bushels per acre to 125 bushels.
"Young is the only man in the United States that I know of who is following the methods of growers in Great Britain. He crops to tubers only once a year. When the crop is harvested he plants legumes, which enrich his soil, instead of growing the second crop. He selects only the very best seed and does not try to grow two crops of spuds in one year. He is a wizard."
NEWPORT BEACH BOATS READY FOR CALL

Mosbaugh as executor and others to appear in court at 9 a.m., July 9, 1917, and show cause why the petition should not be granted.
Halladay died March 1, 1916, and left an estate valued at $148,374.30, according to the petition. In his original will he provided that his nephews and nieces should participate equally in the estate after certain bequests. In his codicil, made twenty days before his death, he bequeathed Floyd Green and Ruth Green Ferguson, son and daughter of a sister, the sum of $500 each. It is alleged that the deceased did not intend that the petitioner and her brother should receive a legacy smaller than any of the other nephews and nieces, but that he believed that their father was wealthy whereas the latter died on March 10, 1917, insolvent because of incumbences on his property:
Because of mental and physical suffering and mental weakness at the time of the drawing of the codicil, it is alleged, Halladay was prevented from using his own judgment in the facts as to the petitioner's father's estate.
Another Check Artise:—
Charles P. Gray indulged in high financing during a week's employment by W. B. Culver, who conducts a horse and mule sales stable in Santa Ana, and is now a fugitive from justice. Two warrants are out for his arrest, one charging him with embezzlement and the other with forgery. Complaints and warrants were issued Wednesday afternoon.
Tuesday Culver sent him to the will always be more roads to build, and all the roads built will always need repairing.
But the public is beginning to realize that, no matter how great the outlay, the money is never wasted if the roads are well built. It pays big dividends in making country life pleasanter, cheapening transportation and raising real estate values. And the federal contribution is destined to bear fruit out of all proportion to its actual amount, because it serves to advertise and popularize road building everywhere.
NAME YOUR RANCH
There are many beautiful names available for California farms, especially Spanish names.
The naming of a ranch in California or in the southwest will give the place dignity and will make the people who occupy the property, either as owner or as employe, more interested in producing a superior quality of products.
The farmers should not only adopt euphonious names for their farms, but they should use the names on their packages in which they ship products. The cost for registering the name is very small, and information concerning this may be had by writing the county clerk.
Let the name be posted at the gateway by the boulevard, that all the world may know the distinctiveness of the farm. Reasons why every owner of a ranch should give it a name are both sentimental and utilitarian. A name promotes pride, lends dignity, fosters individuality and is valuable as a means of identification and as a real business asset. The city cus-

HUNTING STILL GOOD
Every once in a while comes the story about the scarcity of big game. You can not escape the fact that game is getting scarce. There are certain inevitable laws of nature and progress that must in time seriously menace the sport of the hunter. Likewise it is also true that there is a time coming when deer will be as scarce as the buffalo and ducks may be likened to the ancient dodo.
At the present writing, however, there is still enough hunting to satate the nimrodic desires of any one willing to look for it. According to reports, 1916 was one of the best game seasons. In Maine, for instance, the bag of deer was more than 10,000, going to the other extreme of this country, the number of deer shot in California exceeded 9000.
Several thousand were bagged in Pennsylvania, while in the four days of New Jersey's open season 261 deer were taken. Here is some more evidence: Four hundred elk were killed outside of the northern boundary of Yellowstone park during the last two
stration the department has had constructed more than 20 of these sterilizing outfits. Already the health authorities in 150 cities have asked the department to send these outfits for local demonstration.
These outfits the department has offered to lend any local dairy official or health officer who will agree to demonstrate them in actual practice to milk producers in his locality. The outfits, which cost not over $15 and can be made by any local tinsmith, when placed on a range or a two burner oil stove, generate steam enough to kill the bacteria in milk cans, pails, strainer cloths, and separator parts.
At the same time the device removes foul odors, leaves the utensils dry as well as sterilized, and adds materially to their life. The sterilization of milk utensils is of importance to the dairy-man who wishes to produce a good-flavored milk which will not sour readily. This is shown by the fact that milk cans, washed in the ordinary way, may harbor billions of bacteria, and milk contained in these cans is sure to have a high bacteria count, which tends to affect not only its keeping quality but its flavor as well. Other experiments show conclusively that milk which starts in sterilized utensils has a much better chance of reaching market in good condition than milk which has been handled in utensils that simply have been washed in the ordinary way.

Several thousand were bagged in
Pennsylvania, while in the four days
of New Jersey's open season 261 deer
were taken. Here is some more evidence: Four hundred elk were killed
outside of the northern boundary of
Yellowstone park during the last two
days of the hunting season. Two hundred and fifty bear were taken out of
Pennsylvania and it is estimated that
four million rabbits were bagged in
the same state. Running to the other
extreme again, California paid out
over $60,000 in bounties for mountain
lions at $20 per head, while Wyoming
appropriated $60,000 to be paid for the
hides of coyotes at $1.50 per hide. The
above sum came nowhere meeting the
demand. Several thousand coyotes were killed, for which the men who
bagged them could not collect.
These figures can not fail to put somewhat of a crimp in the wall of the alarmist and go quite a little way to demonstrate that the man who wants some hunting badly enough to go after it will certainly be repaid for his trouble.
