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 PARKS TO BE OPEN When asked whether the national parks are to be closed to visitors during the season of 1917, Secretary Lane stated that the persistent rumors which have been current, particularly in the Middle West, that such action was to be taken by the Interior Department, have absolutely no foundation in facts. All of the parks are to be opened at the usual time. The secretary believes that the entrance of the United States into the war will not materially affect western travel, and expressed the conviction that, the national parks will be quite as well patronized this year as they have been during each of the past two years, when upwards of 400,000 people visited them. He pointed out that it is even more important now than in times of peace that the health and vitality of the nation's citizenship be conserved, that rest and recreation must materially assist in this conservation of human tissues and energy, and that the mountainous regions of the national parks offer opportunities in abundance for thoroughly enjoying a vacation of long or short duration. The interior department has taken effective steps to put the parks on a par with the best equipped summer resorts in the world, and already transportation and hotel accommodations THE NAME OF OLD GLORY By JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY Old Glory! Say, who, by the ships and the crew, And the long, blended ranks of the Gray and the Bl Who gave you, Old Glory, the name that you bear With such pride everywhere, As you cast yourself free to the rapturous air, And leap out full length, as we're wanting you to? Who gave you that name, with the ring of the same And the honor and fame so becoming to you? Your stripes stroked, in ripples of white and of red, With your stars at their glittering best overhead— By day or by night their delightfulest light Laughing down from their little square heaven of Who gave you the name of Old Glory—say, who— Who gave you the name of Old Glory? The old banner lifted, and faltering, then In vague lisp and whisper fell silent again. Old Glory, speak out! We are asking about How you happened to "favor" a name, so to say, That sounds so familiar and careless and gay, As we cheer it, and shout in our wild, breezy way— We—the crowd, every man of us calling you that— We, Tom, Dick and Harry, each swinging his hat And hurrahing "Old Glory" like you were our kin, When—Lord!—we all know we're as common as sin And yet it just seems like you humor us all And waft us your thanks, as we hall you and fall Into line, with you over us, waving us on Where our glorified, sanctified betters have gone, And this is the reason we're wanting to know (And we're wanting it so!) Where our own fathers went we are willing to go. Who gave you the name of Old Glory—O-ho!— Who gave you the name of Old Glory? The old flag unfurled with a billowy thrill For an instant, then wistfully sighed and was still. Old Glory, the story we're wanting to hear Is what the plain facts of your christening were— For your name—just to hear it, Repeat it, and cheer it is a tang to the spirit As salt as a tear: And seeing you fly, and the boys marching by, There's a shout in the throat and a blur in the eye And an aching to live for you always—or die, If, dying, we still keep you waving on high, And so, by our love for you, floating above, And the scars of all wars and the sorrows thereof Who gave you the name of Old Glory, and why Are we thrilled by the name of Old Glory? Then the old banner leaped like a sail in the blast, And fluttered an audible answer at last. And it spake, with a shake of the voice, and it said By the driven snow-white and the living blood-red The interior department has taken effective steps to put the parks on a par with the best equipped summer resorts in the world, and already transportation and hotel accommodations in several of them have reached this standard. The splendid hotel system of Yellowstone Park will be supplemented this year by a system of excellent new permanent camps, and ten-passenger touring cars, supplanting the ancient stage coaches, will offer a high degree of comfort and convenience in traveling through this great playground. In the Yosemite a new hotel at famous Glacier Point, with every modern appointment, will be opened for the first time, and in beautiful Paradise Valley, in Mount Ralner Park, the new Paradise Inn will welcome its first visitors this summer. In these parks, also, new transportation equipment will provide service of a high order. New hotels in Rocky Mountain Park and the recently reorganized transportation service in Glacier, will make the touring of these parks on the top of the Rocky Mountains delightful. Road improvement under larger appropriations by Congress, supplemented by the increased park revenues, is moving forward rapidly. Conditions for automobiling in the parks will be better than ever before. The department is giving special attention to the stimulation of motoring by issuing free automobile guide maps showing the road systems of the larger parks and the state highways connecting with them. New circulars of information for all prospective visitors will also be ready for distribution soon. The parks are not as well known as they ought to be, and the Interior Department is doing all it can to tell the people about them, as well as make them completely and conveniently accessible. NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS TRAIN This train is now being operated over the lines of the Salt Lake Route through the states of Utah, Nevada and California. It is under the direct control of the agricultural colleges of the three states and carries out the The call of the nation has come and every person capable of directing his or her endeavor toward doing something to meet the serious emergency must bend every energy toward this one object and, as President Wilson states, must become "a soldier of the commissary." It is directly along these lines of emergency that this elaborate preparedness train has been organized and is being operated by the foremost development educators in the entire western country. One of the urgent necessities at the present moment is an increase in the production of cereals and an entire car of the train is devoted to the question of soils, irrigation, dry farming and the general means to be used in accomplishing this increase. Another most necessary advance must be made in the supply of meats, as our production along this line has materially decreased in the last few years. It will take three years to increase our beef supply, but hogs, sheep and poultry can show an advance in quantity within a few months. To accomplish this it is necessary to force the production of our forage crops while, at the same time, we give special attention to beef, hogs and poultry. Covering this most important subject is a car devoted entirely to forage crops, and a car showing specimens of the highest grade of give stock and poultry, with models for the economic storage of fodder and the housing of birds and animals. A car devoted wholly to bean culture tells the story of another crop that may be materially increased, and this car will spread educational information bearing directly upon those types of beans specially adapted to arid and semi-arid lands.

It is under the direct control of the agricultural colleges of the three states and carries out the wishes of the United States government in its system for distributing information that will aid in the nation's preparedness. While the train has been rushed to its completion it will be thoroughly exhaustive in its work and will represent a vast amount of effort in the perfection of its outfitting and equipment. The exhibits carried by the train, and the educational meetings to be held, all lead to one object, that of inducing the farmers and owners of land to use every possible endeavor towards the increase of crops on land now under cultivation and to further urge them to materially increase their areas of cultivated soils. Nor is the owner or operator of large acreage the only one to whom the appeal will be addressed, for the owner or occupant of but one single city lot will be urged to raise at least some portion of the food stuffs consumed in his household, thus relieving the great pressure that is sure to come upon the market centers of our country. To the boys and girls yet in their school days a direct appeal will be made to assist in this increased production by planting and growing something upon every available square foot of tillable ground. A car devoted wholly to bean culture tells the story of another crop that may be materially increased, and this car will spread educational information bearing directly upon those types of beans specially adapted to arid and semi-arid lands. The culture of the sugar beet and the production of beet sugar is exhaustively treated by a car devoted to this most important subject operated jointly by the Utah-Idaho Sugar company and the combined sugar companies of Southern California. A most important feature of the train is a car equipped by the Home Economic Department of the Utah Agricultural College, in which are thoroughly demonstrated the details of emergency Red Cross work and details of rendering first aid to the injured. The entire train is electric lighted and many of its exhibits will be operated by this power, one of the cars being devoted to a demonstration installed by the Fairbanks-Morse company which includes every class of electric generating plant, gas driven motors, pumps and other labor saving and efficiency producing machinery, both for the ranch and home. Included in the train is a U.S. government exhibit, occupying an entire car, devoted to forestry and the preservation of our cattle ranges, all of which is of special importance if we are to bring about the necessary increase in our stock production.

Storm overhead— THE NEW GRAND THE PULSE OF LIFE FRIDAY·AND SATURDAY Rex Ingram’s intensely interesting Bluebird production, “The Pulse of Life,” will be given at the New Grand Friday and Saturday with Wedgewood Nowell and Gypsy Harte playing the leading parts. Foolishly listening to the promises of Guido Serrani, and influenced by the bright pictures he drew of a life of pleasure in New York, Lisetta Maseto, daughter of a poor Italian fisherman, eloped from the Isle of Capri, leaving her old father and her brother Domenic, only a brief note to say that she was tired of her humdrum life and seeks the joys of the great world beyond the seas. Serrani, like all villains of his kind, tires of his peasant companion, soon after reaching New York, and casts her ruthlessly, aside. Lisetta sinks to the level of low denizens of cheap cafes, where she dances and drinks, going on down the easy path of recklessness. Stanford Graham, a sculptor, in search of a certain type of model, visits New York’s underworld and finds in Lisetta exactly the girl he needs. Graham prevails upon the girl to pose for him and as a result of her visits to his studio an attachment is formed between these two, so different in breeding and ambitions. Thus matters rest when Domenic Maseto arrives in America, having heard of Serrani’s heartless desertion of Lisetta. Fulfillting his oath of vengeance, Domenic slays Serrani with a dagger, the ownership of which is traced to Graham. The authorities establish a theory of jealousy and resentment of Lisetta’s wrongs as the motive for Graham’s clan, who escapes to England from her native country, where she is wanted by the secret service as a Nihilist. She marries a struggling young composer, whose great ambition is to have his opera produced. In Paris, Panhea’s husband falls into the shadow of death through illness, brought on by many disappointments. To save the man she loves, Panhea makes a compact with Baron de Dinsitor, who has influence enough to cause the triumphant production of the dying man’s opera. The great climax of the story comes when the husband on the eve of his triumph discovers the means by which Panhea had brought about his success. It is a wonderfully interesting, human love story, that will make you smile through your tears. The cast supporting Norma Talmadge is strong, with such well known stars as Roger Lytton, George Fawcett, Murdock McQuarrie, Earl Fox and Jack Meredith. OIL FIELD NOTES Development work in the Fullerton-Brea-Whittier oil fields has started off briskly on the opening of the month of May. A careful survey of the entire field reveals a very promising situation throughout. Every operator in the field has future work planned and expects to go ahead as rapidly as possible, and the getting of the necessary materials and drilling supplies will be the only draw back that will have any weight with the local oil men. The Birch Oil Co., who discontinued all development a couple of months ago in order to devote all time and attention to the shutting off of the water that threatened to destroy the company’s property. Supt. Royer has made a careful study of the problem.

Berkeley and it was shown that these pieces of modern farm equipment are to be important factors in our endeavor for preparedness. Accompanying the train is an exhibit installed by the Consolidated Wagon and Machine Company, showing the famous Holt Caterpillar tractor, operated in conjunction with John Deere plows. The C. L. Best Tractor company of California is exhibiting one of its latest type gas engine tractors and the Avery Company of Peoria, Illinois, has sent a flock of Avery tractors across the continent to take part in this magnificent educational demonstration. At every point these tractors will be unloaded and a complete demonstration given to their possibilities in assisting America to bring about a desperately needed increase in our food supplies. A splendid corps of educators, that has never been equalled in a traveling party of this description, is accompanying the train to every point visited. There are twenty of these experts to tell the story of what is necessary to be done and how to do it. They are under the direct supervision of Dr. Thomas F. Hunt, Dean and Prof. W. T. Clarke, Extension Director of the agricultural department, University of California; Dr. E. G. Peterson, president and Prof. John T. Caine, III, Director of Extension, Utah Agricultural College, together with Prof. Charles S. Knight, Dean and Charles Norcross, Director of Extension, college of agriculture, Universitl of Nevada. Under the present conditions, it is the duty of every man, woman, boy and girl, to hear what these learned educators have to say on the subject of food preparedness and to heed their advice so that we may leave nothing formed between these two, so different in breeding and ambitions. Thus matters rest when Domenic Maseto arrives in America, having heard of Serrani's heartless desertion of Lisetta. Fulfilling his oath of vengeance, Domenic slays Serrani with a dagger, the ownership of which is traced to Graham. The authorities establish a theory of jealousy and resentment of Lisetta's wrongs as the motive for Graham's presumed crime, the attachment between Graham and Lisetta stregthening the prosecution's case. Garham is sentenced to die, but conscience moves Domenic at the eleventh hour, to confess. Graham is freed and Lisetta convinced that her duty leads to her father's side, goes home. When Domenic has served his prison sentence, father, brother and sister are again united in their little home on the Isle of Capri.

All indications are quite promising still hopeful of getting into the pay dirt It is the intention of the company in China canyon carry the well down 5ooo feet All indications are quite promising for the getting of a well by the Copa De Ora company in Chino canyon. Early this week the wildcat well that has held the attention of oil men of Orange county will be cemented. After the well has stood, the required time a test of the results will be made and it seems quite probable that an oil well is in sight. Before discontinuing the drilling and making preparations for cementing, colors and indications of oil were strong enough to give rise to very hopeful attitudes on the part of the management. The well is being cemented at a depth of 3100. The Gold Seal company operating on an adjoining property are now down 2000 feet and also have good indications. The Tri-State Oil company drilling a wildcat well near La Habra have reached a depth of 4800 feet and are still hopeful of getting into the pay dirt. It is the intention of the company to carry the well down 5000 feet if necessary. The San Diego Consolidated are at work on their No. 1 well and will have it on the beam by the end of the week. A fairly good well is expected. No. 4 put on the beam a couple of weeks ago is showing water pretty strong, a second cementing of the well will be made. Water has been a constant menace to the developers of the east line territory. As an example of the speed of the development work in the local field it is noted in passing that the West Coast Oil company are outlining plans for drilling three new wells and have planned for development work that will take three years to complete.. This company now has three wells drilling at 2820, 2750 and 2000. Best Light Six Ever Built have it—investigate it carefully before next motor car. The Liberty is the on the market.
