KRAUSE ASKS FOR COOPERATION OF A.C.C. NEW PRESIDENT OUTLINES POLICY OF ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS FOR COMING YEAR GOOD ROADS COMMITTEE WILL ENDEAVOR TO GET FEDERAL ASSISTANCE President C. F. Krause in assuming the gavel at the meeting of the associated chambers of commerce at Placentia Wednesday night, made a brief address outlining the policy to be pursued during his administration and urging the fullest co-operation from all sections to advance the interests of the county as a whole. Tom McFadden extended a happy welcome in behalf of all the civic organizations of Placentia, and Chas. Eygabroad of this city responded for the delegates. Getting down to business the good roads committee was instructed in a resolution introduced by T. B. Talbert, and adopted after brief discussion, to make a vigorous effort to secure from the national government assistance in building a coast road from Oxnard to Capistrano. The argument for congressional help in this project is based on the proposition that such a road may be of great advantage for military use in time of war. It appears that appropriations for similar purpose have been made where military roads were desired in other sections of the country, the government co- D. Cornell. Excursion—J. C. Metzgar, N.

DOG ADOPT'S COYOTES At the Arthur Pefley ranch, west of Orange, four baby copotes have been introduced into a family of puppies and have been adopted by the mother dog. Virgil Pritchard, an Orange high school student, uncovered the nest of coyotes in the El Modena hills, back of the Hodson ranch. His two dogs kept the old coyote away, while he re-treated with the young. Remembering that his classmate, Clarence Pefley, had a dog with two puppies, he was struck with a bright idea. Young Pefley fell in with the plan enthusiastically and they brought the four little coyotes to the Pefley ranch. It was an interested group that watched the reception scene. Rather bewildered, the coyotes crept toward the mother dog. The two puppies regarded their wild cousins sleepily and with little interest. The mother dog surveyed them critically for an instant, sniffed and nosed them a little and then quietly began to lick their fur with her tongue. "That settles it," commented Grandpa Pefley, an old stock raiser, "when you see the mother animal lick her young that way, it means that she acknowledges ownership. It's the same way with a sheep. If the ewe refuses to lick her lamb, nothing can make her own it." FINE SPIRIT OF COOPERATION IS EXHIBITED A large eastern corporation has set a plan on foot by which its employees, by devoting one hour a day, each, expect to increase the country's potato and adopted after brief discussion, to make a vigorous effort to secure from the national government assistance in building a coast road from Oxnard to Capistrano. The argument for congressional help in this project is based on the proposition that such a road may be of great advantage for military use in time of war. It appears that appropriations for similar purpose have been made where military roads were desired in other sections of the country, the government cooperating with local or state authorities on a fifty-fifty basis. J. A. Armitage of the advertising committee urged the use of tags and seals on which are printed the county slogan: "Nature's Prolific Wonderland." These can be had at a small cost in attractive colors, and orders were given indicating that many thousands of the seals are to be used by Orange county boosters during the next year. Replying to protests offered by Lew Wallace and T. A. Winbigler regarding condition of the paved highways, Supervisor Leck said that the state commission promises to proceed right away with the work of putting shoulders on the state highway through the south end of the county. On the county roads, the supervisors have an outfit busy making repairs as fast as possible and expect to be caught up with the work in a short time. The paved roads have been under their supervision only since the first of the year, and it is only recently that equipment was obtained for making repairs. Fast progress is now being made and wherever repairs are needed the roads will soon be placed in good shape. A. S. Bradford presented his report of the county exhibit made at the national orange show. Expenses amounted to more than $700, there being a balance of $1.96 left in the fund. Working prisoners on the county roads was the subject of an extended discussion, introduced by Sheriff Jackson, who stated that as a rule the prisoners prefer to work outside on three meals a day rather than to remain in jail idle, where they get but two meals. J. P. Greeley, Geo. Huntington and T. E. Stephenson, all advocated working jail inmates as a matter of public policy and for the welfare of the prisoners themselves, eac referring to instances in his own experience in official capacity as proof of the wisdom of this policy. As a matter of knowledge ownership. It's the same way with a sheep. If the ewe refuses to lick her lamb, nothing can make her own it." FINE SPIRIT OF COOPERATION IS EXHIBITED A large eastern corporation has set a plan on foot by which its employees, by devoting one hour a day, each, expect to increase the country's potato supply by 10,000 barrels. The corporation will insure energetic work by offering handsome rewards for the best results obtained. The feature of this plan that emphatically commends it is that skilled industry loses not a single man by the scheme. The men get the proper physical exercise in the open air and 10,000 barrels of potatoes are added to the common stock. This spirit, put into practical operation all over the country by those in a situation to command the use of lands and the essential cooperation of men, will solve this food shortage problem to a very great extent. A railroad has tendered the use of lands along its right of way to be planted to food products. There has been a splendid response to the president's appeal for increased planting and production. If the federal and state authorities will do their part in curbing the rapacity of the food speculator and the food manipulator, who have exhibited few qualms of conscience in the past, the people will rise splendidly to meet the emergency and all the world will be fed despite the U-boat menace to the carrying trade. There will come a distinct moral gain from this enforced thrift, economy, cooperation and sacrifice. It is a great thing for 100,000,000 people to center their purpose on cooperation and place the need of the nation as a whole above personal aggrandizement. It is a fine spectacle to see men of masterful business acumen laying aside all self-serving effort and dedicating their energies to the service of the nation. There is a culture in it that ought to deepen the patriotism of every individual American. And it will.

As a matter of economy for the county, Supervisor Leck said that past experiences had not been entirely satisfactory. If the men could be worked in squads of 25 or more, and near enough to be returned to the jail over night without the loss of too much time, he thought it could be done profitably. In smaller numbers or at a great distance from the jail it could not be done except at a loss, on account of expense for guards and transportation.

FACTS OF VALUE TO DRILLERS Work in the California oil fields by the United States geological survey has developed some interesting facts which will doubtless be of considerable benefit to the oil industry. It has long been recognized that oil and gas are commonly associated with water, but of the chemical relation between the two little has been known. It is now possible, at least in California, according to the survey, to estimate the position of oil and gas, where present, from a chemical analysis of the water encountered by the drill. Thus in drilling a wild cat well an indication of the presence or absence of oil and gas below the water may be had by analyzing the waters successively encountered, since investigations have determined that the deep seated waters associated with oil in California fields are different in chemical composition from the waters found near the surface as well as from the deeper waters outside of the oil fields. In some areas a significant change in composition may be detected as much as 1,000 feet above the oil. In others the upper limit of alteration may be within a few hundred feet of the oil. It is also possible to determine, at least in a general way, the source of the water flooding an oil well. In the Westside Coalinga field, for example, the horizon of the water may thus be...

Griffith Lumber Co. determined rather definitely; in the Midway-Sunset field, where the distinctions are less sharp, the success of this method will depend largely on the number of authentic analysis that are available for comparison. In the oil fields of the San Joaquin valley water bearing sands are generally encountered above, below and in many places in the oil measures, and in these fields it is difficult to prevent the water, which may be under high pressure, from invading the oil sands and thus ruining a considerable tract of oil land. The United States geological survey accordingly detailed G. S. Rogers to make a study of water conditions in these fields, with companies. The bill provides that the temporary service authorized shall not be construed as granting any right to later on receive such service after such war need has ceased. While this bill gives the right to mutual companies to deliver water, there is no provision for such companies taking additional water. This question having been submitted to the state water commission, railroad commission and state council of defense, they have suggested that it would be best to have interested parties try to arrange among themselves amicably for the utilization of all surplus water for the growing of food crops. The Tri-Counties Reforestation committee held a meeting Tuesday at San Bernardino, to consider these problems. HOW A MERCHANTMAN SANK A SUBMARINE Captain Rice of the Mongolia Tells of His Encounter With Diver Captain Rice, the Californian in command of the American merchantman, Mongolia, which sank the German submarine off the coast of England on April 19, gives the following account of the affair: "We suddenly heard an exclamation from the chief officer, 'there's a submarine off the port bow.' Immediately, we rushed for the bridge, where we had practically spent most of the voyage, and simultaneously we saw a submarine periscope on the port side, only 200 yards away. "Only about three feet of the periscope showed, but I realized instantaneously she had only to fire once to blow us sky high, with out 600 feet of target exposed. Automatically, I swung the helm right around and bore down upon her starboardwise. This seemed our only chance of not being hit amidships. I thought the torpedo might pass alongside." She realized my intention instantaneously.

PHONE SUNSET 337 In the oil fields of the San Joaquin valley water bearing sands are generally encountered above, below and in many places in the oil measures, and in these fields it is difficult to prevent the water, which may be under high pressure, from invading the oil sands and thus ruining a considerable tract of oil land. The United States geological survey accordingly detailed G. S. Rogers to make a study of water conditions in these fields, with special reference to the chemical character of the waters. Some of Mr. Roger's conclusions, drawn from a study of several hundred analyses of water from different depths, are as follows: 1. Although some of the oil field waters are as salty as sea water, and are probably true fossil sea water, others are not even slightly salty to the taste. The distribution of salt is controlled by the freedom of circulation of the waters, which is governed chiefly by the geologic structure. 2. Although the surface and shallow ground waters are strong sulphate or "gyp" waters, sulphate diminishes in amount as the oil measures are approached and finally disappears. Outside the oil fields, however, large quantities of sulphate are found in even the deepest waters. 3. The waters a short distance above the oil at many localities are sulphur waters, containing the gas hydrogen sulphide, but the shallow waters and those in the oil measures generally contain no sulphide. 4. Carbonates, which are subordinate in the shallow waters, increase in amount as the oil zone is approached, and if no chlorides are present constitute the only dissolved salts in the waters associated with the oil. These conclusions appear to be well grounded for California, and probably hold for other arid regions in which the upper waters are sulphate or alkali. The progressive alteration of the water as oil is approached is so constant and so striking in the area examined that the conclusion that the oil and water have reacted chemically can not be avoided. It was suggested long ago in the Russian oil fields that hydrocarbons are able to reduce sulphate to sulphide, and that they themselves are simultaneously oxidized to carbon dioxide or carbonate. The reaction has not yet been checked in the laboratory, however, and though essentially correct is probably much "Only about three feet of the periscope showed, but I realized instantaneously she had only to fire once to blow us sky high, with out 600 feet of target exposed. Automatically, I swung the helm right around and bore down upon her starboardwise. This seemed our only chance of not being hit amidships. I thought the torpedo might pass alongside. "She realized my intention instantly. She dived and also swung around, whether to avoid our attack or to maneuver into a better position for torpedoing I can't say. At any rate, we followed her around, watching the swirling wave caused by her motion as the periscope disappeared. "Then she came up, expecting to be able to attack us on the port side. But we were going fool speed ahead and in the two minutes before she emerged we had put her 1000 yards back of us. The stern gun was trained full on her and almost the instant she reap- IN ANYTHING YOU COOK requiring milk you'll get much better results if you use ours.

"Watching the 6-inch shell through the air, we saw it land clean and fair against the periscope. Shell and submarine disappeared. There was an explosion of course, and for some minutes the surrounding area was covered with smoke. We did not fire again. Naturally, there isn't any actual legal proof that we got the U-boat, as we didn't recover any wreckage or bodies, but there was the tell-tale oil on the waters. I believe we either hit the periscope directly or hit the hull almost at the water level. "I can't praise highly enough the cool, easy way Lieutenant Ware handled his gun crews.

Some of this sulphur is taken up again by the oil which makes the oil heavier and more asphaltic. In the oil fields of San Joaquin valley the oil that has been most exposed to the action of the water generally contains the most sulphur and is of the highest gravity. It seems probable that the natural gas is also affected by these reactions, and that some of the carbon dioxide formed is not taken up by the waters but mixes with the gas and thus lowers its heating value. The gas nearest the outcrop of the oil sands, where sulphate water can most readily enter the strata and where the reaction would most naturally be most vigorous, may cotnain as much as 35 per cent of carbon dioxide.

It was about the best exhibition of efficiency I have ever seen. There was no guesswork about the shot just a case of applied mathematics. Lieutenant Ware knew before the shell struck that it would reach home, for he had computed the speed at which we were traveling and our direction with the speed and direction of the submarine. In the two minutes that elapsed from the moment we first saw the enemy, the lieutenant had that gun trained to an inch. "Our crew just howled with delight when they saw the splash and the guns' crew were proud men. We certainly had some fine guns and gunners. On the way over the crews practiced daily on oil cans and barrels which they threw over the side. The second day out they hit a can a mile and a half away on the second shot. "Our guns forward were named George and Martha Washington, and the aft, which scored the hit, had been christened Teddy Roosevelt."
