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 WARNING AGAINST AUTOCRACY In his address to congress Monday night, defining the situation between the United States and Germany, and asking for a declaration that a state of war exists, President Wilson gave to that body a complete history of the controversy leading up to the decisive step. "We have no quarrel with the German people. We have no feeling toward them but one of sympathy and friendship. It was not upon their impulse that their government acted in entering this war. It was not with their previous knowledge or approval. "It was a war determined upon as wars used to be determined upon in the old, unhappy days when peoples were nowhere consulted by their rulers and wars were provoked and waged in the interests of dynasties or of little groups of ambitious men who were accustomed to use their fellow men as pawns and tools. "Self governed nations do not fill their neighbor states with spies or set the course of intrigue to bring about some critical posture of affairs which will give them an opportunity to strike and make conquest. Such designs can only be successfully worked out under cover and where no one has the KRAUSE ELECTED PRESIDENT OF A. C. OF C. ANAHEIM MAN UNANIMOUSLY CHOSEN HEAD OF ORANGE COUNTY ORGANIZATION HOT DEBATE ON RESOLUTION DEMANDING AN EXPERT ROAD ENGINEER By a unanimous vote F. C. Krause of this city was chosen president of the associated chambers of commerce of Orange county at the Santa Ana meeting Wednesday evening. He was put in nomination by R. L. Bisby, who referred to him as a consistent booster, who has been influential in starting the many improvements in Anaheim the past few years. Dr. E. W. Hauck of Fullerton seconded the nomination, and made a neat speech in behalf of his candidate. "Many people here," he said "are familiar with the history of the twin cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Each tried to outgrow the other, until finally they grew together, and it was suggested they be united into one city. The name suggested was Minnehaha, the 'Minnie for Minneapolis and the 'haha' for St. Paul. A similar condition exists between the twin cities of Anaheim and Fullerton. We of Fullerton have noticed for some time the continued and substantial growth of Anaheim and we know Mr. Krause had a lot to do with it so we want to A remarkable in that the president's initial treaty is continue well came in at 350 bbls.

"Self governed nations do not fill their neighbor states with spies or set the course of intrigue to bring about some critical posture of affairs which will give them an opportunity to strike and make conquest. Such designs can only be successfully worked out under cover and where no one has the right to ask questions. Cunningly contrived plans of deception and aggression, carried, it may be, from generation to generation, can be worked out and kept from the light only within the privacy of courts or behind the carefully guarded confidences of a narrow and privileged class. "They are happily impossible where public opinion commands and insists upon full information concerning all of the nation's affairs. "One of the things that has served to convince me that the Prussian autocracy was not and could never be our friend is that from the very outset of the present war it has filled our unsuspecting communities and even our offices of government with spies and set criminal intrigues everywhere afoot against our national unity of counsel, our peace within and without, our industries and our commerce. "Indeed, it is now evident that its spies were here even before the war began; and it is unhappily not a matter of conjecture, but a fact proved in our courts of justice, that the intrigues which have more than once come perilously near to disturbing the peace and dislocating the industries of the country have been carried on with the instigation, with the special, and even under the personal direction of official agents of the imperial government accredited to the government of the United States. "Even in checking these things and trying to extirpate them we have sought to put the most generous interpretations upon them because we knew that their source lay, not in any hostile feeling or purposes of the German people towards us (who were, no doubt, as ignorant of them as we ourselves were), but only in the selfish designs of a government that did what it pleased and told its people nothing. "But they have played their part in serving to convince us at last that government entertains no real friendship for us and means to act cities of St. Paul and Mineapolis. Each tried to outgrow the other, until finally they grew together, and it was suggested they be united into one city. The name suggested was Minnehaha, the 'Minnie for Minneapolis and the 'haha' for St. Paul. A similar condition exists between the twin cities of Anaheim and Fullerton. We of Fullerton have noticed for some time the continued and substantial growth of Anaheim and we know Mr. Krause had a lot to do with it, so we want to give the 'haha' to Anaheim. If we can take him away from Anaheim and make his domain all of Orange county, including Fullerton, that will give us the 'haha' on Anaheim, and I heartily support the nomination." Reporting for the Harbor committee Lew H. Wallace said for the first time in the nine years harbor boosters had fallen down in making a good impression on committees and boards inspecting the harbor site. The fall down came when the congressional committee visited the harbor a few weeks ago. Several mishaps to the boat in which the party was taken over the bay prevented them from seeing all the good points, and came near causing them to miss their train to San Diego. Chairman Padgett did show interest enough in the project to suggest that if the harbor boosters ever expected to get the assistance from the government they first would have to stop the Santa Ana river flowing into the bay and filling it with deposits of sile. The jetty situation has reached the point where in all probability the city council will at its first meeting in April authorize the advertising for bids for its construction. The chief topic under consideration was a resolution offered by J. P. Greeley of Balbon, relative to highway work. It was finally referred to a committee consisting of J. A. Knapp of Garden Grove and Lew Wallace of Newport Beach, opponents, J. A. McFadden of Santa Ana and J. P. Greely, advocates of the plan and Dr. J. D. Thomas of Olive, a neutral. The committee will meet in Santa Ana today. Following is the resolution: Whereas, Orange county justly prides itself in its extensive mileage of improved roads, which we hope to see added to from year to year; and Whereas, the nature of their construction and maintenance is such that a more experienced and scientific supervision is required than was neces- On the Emery has four strings Wells Nos. 29, 30, 31, 32 is a drill.

This band is composed of more than fifty young Americans who sailed for France about a year ago to become ambulance drivers for the American Ambulance Field service, under the direction of A. Piatt Andrew, of La Porte, Ind., and Gloucester, Mass., former assistant secretary of the United States treasury. Two sections of ambulances in addition to many others now working on the western front are with the French armies in the Monastir region of reconquered southern Serbia. Carrying wounded always at night, over wild roads, through rocky mountain passes and over mountains is only part of the work these American collegians are doing, according to Ennis Brown of Charleston, S. C., who has just reached Paris on his way back to America. Brown joined the ambulance service while a student at Virginia University. He is the first American to return since the Americans embarked at Marselles for Saloniki. Up with the stars and stripes Let every business man in Anaheim show his loyalty to Uncle Sam by hoisting or displaying Old Glory at his place of business. Anaheim unanimously declared its patriotic sentiments in unmistakable terms Tuesday night. Let every business man show the colors. Burglar's Monday night entered the Villa Park store, owned by A. Gunnett, and made away with $1 in cash and some bottles of soda water. The entrance was effected by tearing off a screen door and boring holes through the main door with an auger. After sufficient holes had been made the thieves reached through and slid back the bars which hold the door shut. Officers Iman and Maxwell investigated the robbery. A remarkable fact has come to light in that the production of the Standard's initial well on the Montebello tract is continuing to increase. The well came in a few weeks ago doing 350 bbls. The well is making more than 500 bbls today, and is perhaps the great find of the year thus far. It is not only a good proposition in itself but has opened a new and heretofore unthought of oil region that may prove the richest in the field. The Standard has commenced drilling on the Temple lease and are down 200 feet. This property adjoins the Baldwin Hills tract. Baldwin No. 2 is rigging up and a rig is being built for No. 3. The Standard is going right ahead with the Baldwin property and will have more good wells in a few months. At Coyote 2-9 the Standard is drilling at 1270. The formation is very hard and the going is slow. At Dominguez the Standard was compelled to move the rig and start over again. The shifting sand stuck and collapsed the casing making further progress impossible. The derrick has been moved about 400 feet east of the former location and drilling will be resumed again as soon as the rigging up work is completed. On the Savage lease in the Fullerton field the Standard has two wells drilling, a rig built for a third and a grade made for a fourth well. Nos. 12 and 14 are drilling and are showing up very good. On the Emery property the Standard has four strings of tools operating. Wells Nos. 29, 30, 31, and 32 are all drilling. On the Murphy lease No. 21 is redrilling, 23 drilling at 3450, 26 drilling, 27 redrilling, also Nos. 28 and 29. New rigs have been built for 31 and 30. No. 32 is a grade. At Whittier the Standard has No. 41 almost completed at 2900. No. 42 is being deepened, 46 and 47 are drilling also No. 48. No. 49 is rigging up. A rig has been built for 50 and 51 is a grade. stopped as quickly as it commenced. No. 30 has beep delayed on account of pipe trouble. Work on the New Era's prospect well at Placentia has been held up on account of the inability of the company to get bare necessary casing. A depth of 400 feet has been drilled with a hydraulic drilling apparatus and work is at a standstill. It is hoped to get drilling operations under way again before the end of the week. The Amalgamated Oil company is showing signs of renewed activity and it is believed that inside of a week extensive drilling plans will be announced and all the old time activity will be in evidence again. Well No. 26 on the Hualde is drilling at 3170 and No. 9 will be started drilling before the end of the week. The Birch Oil company is devoting the major part of the time to the task of shutting off water in a number of its wells and are meeting with success. No. 12 is being tested for water after the shut off work has been done and is showing up very satisfactory. No. 14 is drilling while the water testing is in progress and is making hole at 1620. The Columbia Oil Producing company are getting along nicely with their Orange No. 7 well, and are drilling by some pipe at 1200 feet. In the Olinda field the Columbia have three wells drilling. No. 26 and 28 are going along together and have passed the 2600 mark. No. 29 is on the rotary and is close to 1500 feet. The Fullerton Oil company report two wells drilling and are making good showings. No. 10 is drilling at 2843, and No. 11 at 2620. No. 12 is being pumped in the hope that the water can be pumped off and oil secured. However continuous pumping for the past month has brought the water down only 30 per cent. The General Petroleum Oil company met with some difficulty in cementing their Carson tract well on the water front. A pair of elevators were broken in the putting in of the pipe and the mishap has delayed the work. join with all the traitor-slacker crew to invite national disgrace and ruin, well may this member of an "inferior race" boast: "We have a record to defend, but no treason, thank God, to atone or explain. While in chains we fought to free white men—from Lexington to Carrizal—and returned again to our chains. No negro has ever insulted the flag. No negro ever struck down a president of these United States. No negro ever sold a military map or secret to a foreign government. No negro ever ran under fire or lost an opportunity to serve, to fight, to bleed and to die in the republic's cause. Accuse us of what you will—justly and wrongly—no man can point to a single instance of our disloyalty." "We have but one country and one flag, the flag that set us free. Its language is our only tongue, and no hyphen bridges or qualifies our loyalty. Today the nation faces danger from a foreign foe, treason stalks and sulks up and down our land, in dark councils intrigue is being hatched. I am a republican, but a Wilson republican. Woodrow Wilson is my leader. What he commands me to do I shall do. Where he commands me to go I shall go. If he calls me to the colors I shall not ask whether my colonel is black or white. I shall be there to pick out no color except the white of the enemy's eye. Grievances I have against this people, against this government. Injustice to me there it, bad laws there are upon the statute books, but in this hour of peril I forget—and you must forget—all thoughts of self or race or creed or politics or colors. That, boys, is loyalty." That this address was a notable piece of diction and oratory means little save as a tribute to the talent and erudition of its author and an augury of what may come from others of his On the Emery property the Standard has four strings of tools operating. Wells Nos. 29, 30, 31, and 32 are all drilling. On the Murphy lease No. 21 is drilling, 23 drilling at 3450, 26 drilling, 27 redrilling, also Nos. 28 and 29. New rigs have been built for 31 and 30. No. 32 is a grade. At Whittier the Standard has No. 41 almost completed at 2900. No. 42 is being deepened, 46 and 47 are drilling also No. 48. No. 49 is rigging up. A rig has been built for 50 and 51 is a grade. The Union Oil company started the week under very encouraging conditions. Hole No. 13 was finished a few days ago at a depth of 3550 and is flowing 1200 bbls of high gravity clean oil. This well knocks the hoodoo out of 13 for a well number. Hole No. 13 is now the largest producer on the Hole property and is one of the best wells in the local field today. Hole No. 6 was also finished up at close to 3500 feet and is now on the pump and doing 400 bbls. These two wells bring the production of the Hole lease up to close to 5000 bbls daily. Hole 8 is drilling at 2930. Hole No. 11 is drilling at 3525 and is showing up very nicely. No. 14 stands cemented and 15 is rotating at 1400 feet. At 16 a new rig has been completed. No. 17 is rotating at 800 feet. No. 18 is close to 3000 on the standard tools. No. 18 is being watched with a great deal of attention and interest as the location is a very favorable one. At Myer No. 3 the Union is meeting with good success. The rotary is now working at 1600 feet, and thus far no difficulties to speak of have been met with. On the Naranjal property the Union has three wells drilling. No. 6 is at 2200, No. 7 is drilling at 1550 and No. 8 is down 1700 feet. The Graham Loftus lease has four wells drilling. No. 39 is 3300, No. 40 is cleaning out at 3300, No. 41 is being redrilled and is at 2120 and No. 50 is drilling at 2920. The Union is making new hole at Berenstock No. 2, after almost a year’s work of redrilling and fishing. The standard tools are now running at 2008 feet. On the Bastanchury lease the Union are getting a deep well drilled at No. 5. The tools are running at 3750, No. 6 is drilling or rather redrilling at 1560. There is considerable speculation among oil men in the local field as to the immediate and probable outcome of the oil business should the United States become actively involved in the great world war. Already oil men have felt the pressure of war conditions in that price of oil well and drilling supplies have advanced from 25 to 100 per cent, and of the almost impossibility of securing pipe for the continuance of drilling. Theeer are two views held on the effect of the war on the oil business. One is that should the United tSates win this war on their property east of Brea. The wells are Nos. 17 and 18. No. 17 is past the 2900 mark and No. 18 is close to 2300 feet deep. The Fullerton Oil company report two wells drilling and are making good showings. No. 10 is drilling at 2843, and No. 11 at 2620. No. 12 is being pumped in the hope that the water can be pumped off and oil secured. However continuous pumping for the past month has brought the water down only 30 per cent. The General Petroleum Oil company met with some difficulty in cementing their Carson tract well on the water front. A pair of elevators were broken in the putting in of the pipe and the mishap has delayed the work. The well was drilled to a depth of 1300 feet and preparations were made for cementing last week. The well will be cemented in a few days. The Sana Fe Oil company will finish No. 75 and have it on the beam in a few days. The well is now 3055 and will be drilled to 3075. This company has 74 drilling at 2693 in sandy shale, 76 is in sand at 1864, 77 is drilling at 1075. Good progress has been made on No. 78 last well started. The depth is now 343 feet. The Copa We Ora are going on down and are now at 3000 feet on their Chino Canyon wild cat well. Conditions at this depth continue to furnish encouragement. The formation at this depth is brown shale, considerable gas is present and traces of oil. The Gold Seal company is getting along very nicely on their wild cat well adjoining the Copa De Ora property. The depth of the Gold Seal is now close to 1800 feet. The well at this depth is showing some gas and traces of oil have been noticed. The Tri-State company has its west west of Whittier down now to a depth of 4720 and are using 3-inch casing. This well if drilled much deeper will be the deepest well in the local field. The Tri-State may be successful in getting into a high gravity oil at this great depth. The Petroleum Oil company, whose lease adjoints the Amalgamated on the west has installed one of the Petroleum Rectifying company’s electrical dehydration plants for cleaning oil Water and emulsion have developed in their No. 1 well and necessitated a cleaning plant to put the oil in shape for marketing. Thomas Strain has commenced active development work on his ranch oil property east of Brea and will be drilling in a few days. A force of men are installing boilers and rigging up Strain will endeavor to shut off bottom water in a well drilled two years ago and test the well for oil. The Olinda Land company report the drilling of two wells on their property east of Brea. The wells are Nos. 17 and 18. No. 17 is past the 2900 mark and No. 18 is close to 2300 feet deep. The West Coast Oil company have my's eye. Grievances I have against this people, against this government.Injustice to me there it, bad laws there are upon the statute books, but in this hour of peril I forget—and you must forget—all thoughts of self or race or creed or politics or colors That, boys, is loyalty." That this address was a notable piece of diction or oratory means little save as a tribute to the talent and erudition of its author and an augury of what may come from others of his race when given his opportunities.As a rebuke to the traitors and Americans not worthy of the name it deserves the widest reading, while such men as La Follette, Stone, Vardaman, Works, Bryan and all their ilk, instead, perhaps, of being tarred and feathered black, should be forced to read these words of a black man. The Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias has sent a telegram to President Wilson offering him the entire uniform rank of the K.P.'s for military service. It is reported that Major B.T.Beale, Captain Walter Amstutz, Captain Alexander Henry and Lieutenant Davis are already grinding their swords and brushing up their uniforms.Major Beale will have a battalion under his command.Captain Amstutz will be in charge of Company 26, while Captain Henry will be attached to Gen.Royer's staff. THE PUBLIC PAYS It being now settled that the wages of those engaged in operating public utilities may be fixed by public authority,the carriers now come to the Interstate Commerce Commission for a general increase of rates to cover the increased cost of operation imposed by public authority. And it will have to be given if the public is to be properly served,for it is now evident that new capital cannot be got for railroads except upon assurance that the public which absolutely controls wages,rates and character of service to the extent that it desires,will deal as fairly with capital as it does with labor.All power is now definitely fixed in the public,and responsibility inevitably follows power. In other words,它是公众和 not the corporations which must pay the increased wages of the trainmen.And that is true of all taxation of corporations.Taxes are overhead There is considerable speculation among oil men in the local field as to the immediate and probable outcome of the oil business should the United States become actively involved in the great world war. Already oil men have felt the pressure of war conditions in that the price of oil well and drilling supplies have advanced from 25 to 100 per cent, and of the almost impossibility of securing pipe for the continuance of drilling. Theer are two views held on the effect of the war on the oil business. One is that should the United tates enter the war a further use for oil will be created and the government will be in need of all the fuel oil that can be produced. War with Germany will consist for the most part in supplying the allies with credit and supplies and that will necessitate the use of our battle ships to accompany the merchant ships across the Atlantic. Oil will be in demand as fuel for the battleships, and it might be possible that the government would foster and encourage as much development work as possible. The second view of the situation is presented by the recognition of the fact that the necessities of the war may cripple coast facilities for handling oil and thus bring about a big over production that would force the price of oil down rapidly, and discourage further development operations. The formation of one of the Brea Canyon's best producers shifted a few days ago and the well is a ruin. The formation shift occurred at a depth of 1700 feet and was so complete that four strings of casing were cut off and a well that has been making 450 bbls. a day is now a dead hole and not producing a drop. The well, No. 28, was 3800 feet deep and had been an established producer for some time. The Brea Canyon people feel the loss of the well keenly as it cuts down the production very materially. It will be necessary to redrill the well, and this is impossible at this time on account of the inability of the company to get delivery on casing to do the work. The company is making new hole at No. 29, the depth now being better than 2000 feet. No. 29 was the gusher that created such a stir in the Brea field at a depth of 2000 feet. The well produced a little over a month and Thomas Strain has commenced active development work on his ranch oil property east of Brea and will be drilling in a few days. A force of men are installing boilers and rigging up Strain will endeavor to shut off bottom water in a well drilled two years ago and test the well for oil. The Olinda Land company report the drilling of two wells on their property east of Brea. The wells are Nos. 17 and 18. No. 17 is past the 2900 mark and No. 18 is close to 2300 feet deep. The West Coast Oil company have two wells drilling and a third well standing cemented. No. 54 is down 2625. No. 84 is drilling at 1775 and No. 80 is cemented at 2420. A NEGRO'S IDEA OF LOYALTY With all his genius and culture, Roscoe Conklin Simmons is a negro. His college degrees and personal refinement cannot change his blood or color to make him one bit less a member of a race regarded as socially, economically and mentally inferior to the white. That Louisville is proud of him as a citizen; that the negro people of the country look to him for leadership much as they did to his illustrious uncle, Booker T. Washington; that men of prominence in the nation accord him fellowship and a place in high councils, does not change his status. For these very reasons, his words, spoken the other day before a gathering of his own race, should spread a blush of shame on the Caucasian skins of some who are conscious in the eyes of the nation just now. When men of superior learning and vaunted super-race connections, intrusted with the solemn duty of serving and protecting their country's destiny, join with the foreign tyrant cut throats to heap contumely upon the nation's head and tie the hands stretched out to protect the lives and right of Americans; when snivelling white pacifists assurance that the public, which absolutely controls wages, rates and character of service to the extent that it desires, will deal as fairly with capital as it does with labor. All power is now definitely fixed in the public, and responsibility inevitably follows power. In other words, it is the public and not the corporations which must pay the increased wages of the trainmen. And that is true of all taxation of corporations. Taxes are overhead charges in corporate as well as private business, and are allowed as such by all railroads. Over capital already invested the public has full power, short of actual confiscation, but over capital not invested in public utilities the public has no power whatever, except to pay it as it is, and if it goes into public utilities it must be because the public offers the inducements to attract it. The corporations have no longer power to guarantee any inducements. Two hundred Mexicans were brought into Riverside from El Paso to take the places of the striking Mexican orange pickers. The eight associations affected decided on this move at a conference held at the office of the Arlington Heights Fruit company, Saturday afternoon. Last week 226 cars of fruit were shipped, the heaviest output of the season, but the present week's total will be negligible, owing to the strike and the closing of a number of packing houses. Here is one from the Bitter Creek, (Colo.) Journal. "Everybody in the village is laughing about the wedding of Cyrus Spellman and Clara Whipple. They went to Denver on their honeymoon and visited three weeks with Mr. Spellman's relatives, and when they got back Town Clerk Hale discovered that he had accidentally given them “THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER” By FRANCIS SCOTT KEY, September 14, 1814 Oh! say can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hall'd at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, and bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there! Oh! say, does the star spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen through the mist of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected, now shines in the stream; 'Tis the star spangled banner. Oh long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, 'Mid the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country they'd leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution, No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave, And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand, Between their loved home and war's desolation; Blest with victory and peace, may the Heaven-rescued land Praise the power that made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto, "In God is our trust." And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. CONTROL OF PAPER Government control of the paper situation is foreshadowed in a report just issued by the secretary of agriculture, D. F. Houston. According to the conclusions of the secretary, two methods lie before the country—one that the government enter into contractual relations with private business enterprises with a view to supplying raw material from the public forests; the other, in the event private capital cannot be enlisted. NAVY ENLISTMENTS Southern California is expected to send 1200 men into the United States navy within a short time, by April 12 if possible, and a recruiting office was opened in Santa Ana Tuesday to enlist the desired number from Orange county. The navy recruiting office is at 106½ W. Fourth street and is in charge of G. W. Graves, chief electrician (radio) U. S. N., recently from the Cheyenne. He is assisted by Hospital Apprentice Pluto, who will do the Government control of the paper situation is foreshadowed in a report just issued by the secretary of agriculture, D. F. Houston. According to the conclusions of the secretary, two methods lie before the country—one that the government enter into contractual relations with private business enterprises with a view to supplying raw material from the public forests; the other, in the event private capital cannot be enlisted to help the situation, that federal government enter the industry of paper making as a direct method of controlling the situation. The danger of depending on the Canadian supply of raw material is pointed out, it being made plain that any breach of friendly relations with Canada might at a moment's notice cripple the entire newspaper industry of the United States. Reviewing recent developments in the paper situation, Secretary Houston says: This condition of dependence should be ended. Changes in Canadian policy might at any time cut off our newspaper from this source of supply or make it available only at excessive cost. On the other hand, our own forest resources are ample to meet all the paper requirements of the country." After reviewing the situation relative to the forests the secretary says: "Almost equal in importance to the timber of the Pacific coast belt and the Rocky Mountain belt are the publicly owned water powers, a second primary essential of the paper industry. Undeveloped power is there in sufficient quantity and available for exploitation and use under reasonable measures of government control. This is equally true with respect to coal, almost as important in paper manufacture as pulp wood itself. The one problem to be faced is that of the best means of utilization. H. L. Stinchfield of Olive owns a Rhode Island Red hen that lays eggs. Mr. Stinchfield thought nothing of that habit until the hen laid an egg that looked like a watermelon except that it was different.

Southern California is expected to send 1200 men into the United States navy within a short time, by April 12 if possible, and a recruiting office was opened in Santa Ana Tuesday to enlist the desired number from Orange county. The navy recruiting office is at 106½ W. Fourth street and is in charge of G. W. Graves, chief electrician (radio) U. S. N., recently from the Cheyenne. He is assisted by Hospital Apprentice Pluto, who will do the preliminary examination of recruits previous to sending them to the main station nat Los Angeles. If an applicant for enlistment is examined here and found to be O. K., he is furnished with transportation to the Los Angeles navy recruiting office, where the final and deciding examination is made. If the applicant passes the final examination, he is sent to the naval training station at San Francisco for a period of training, and if he fails to pass return transportation to Santa Ana will be provided, Mr. Graves states. An addition of 38,000 men for the navy was recently authorize by congress, needed at once to man new vessels being put in commission, and 1200 of this number have been allotted to Southern California. In order to get this number quickly, branch recruiting offices out of Los Angeles have been established at Santa Ana, Riverside, Long Beach, Santa Barbara and Pasadena. These stations will remain open probably until the desired number of men are secured, and the Santa Ana station may remain permanently, it is said. Santa Ana and vicinity has heretofore furnished many fine man-o-war's men, and is expected to furnish its full quota under the present emergency call. SUES TELEPHONE COMPANY U. S.
