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 AN INSULT TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Criticisms of the city trustees because of their determination to erect a new city hall will not be relished by the people of Anaheim, especially those who are familiar enough with the situation to know that the present edifice that houses our city government is inadequate, inconvenient and dangerous. An effort was made two years ago to float a bond issue for the purpose of erecting a modern structure suitable to the needs of the modern city on the site of the present municipal building, but it was voted down by advocates of the civic center, who realized that their cherished project would be defeated unless they could prevent the erection of a city hall outside of the territory on which they had secured options. The Gazette is not an opponent of a civic center, but it realizes that under present conditions the people will overwhelmingly defeat a proposition to vote a bond issue of $100,000 for its establishment. A civic center is a luxury and its adoption can be postponed to a more propitious time, but a city hall is an absolute necessity and we need it now. One reason why the trustees are proposing to construct a $30,000 city hall at this time is that it can be built now without the necessity of a bond issue. to recall what their forefathers did when duty called them. One hundred and forty-one years ago our great-grandfathers went to war. They had no nation but they created one. They had no flag but they adopted one—the Old Glory we doff our hats to now. These patriots were insignificant in numbers compared with the great power they were fighting, but they were battling in defense of the declaration that all men were created equal, and that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness should be denied no man. They suffered incredible hardships, such as the present generation of men have no conception. They suffered from hunger, from cold and from privations of every kind. They marched barefooted through the wintry months and left bloody footprints in the snow behind them. But they never faltered. The fought eight long years against overwhelming odds, and triumphed in the end. Forty years later our grandfathers went to war. They fought against the same powerful nation, they fought for one of the principles that has forced us into this world struggle—the right of American ships upon the ocean, the right of our merchants to trade in any port unmolested by a foreign government. They were outnumbered by the foe, but they fought to a triumphant finish. Fifty-five years ago our fathers went to war. Millions of them responded to the call to the colors and untold thousands gave the last full measure of devotion to the flag. They fought that the government their ancestors had formed should be perpetuated, they fought that the flag should continue to float over every foot of American soil. For four bloody years they fought without a thought of turning back until they triumphed. The young men of a nation are its OIL FIELD By Elwood Teh outlook for the local field has crabs during the period to the possibility of sary pipe and supply great amount of new well as the work uthe finishing point.

The Amalgamated No. 56 on the Ann One reason why the trustees are proposing to construct a $30,000 city hall at this time is that it can be built now without the necessity of a bond issue. They have the money in sight, saved by an economical administration of the city's affairs. There is $20,000 of surplus in the general fund this year which can be used for this purpose. There is $8000 worth of unused machinery in the municipal power plant which can be sold and the money diverted to this purpose. There will be a $3000 increase in the general fund this year, by reason of increased valuations. This will build the magnificent new structure, which will be a source of pride to the people of Anaheim, and the taxpayers will not be required to pay a single dollar above the regular assessment. An Anaheim newspaper last week had a mild spasm over the proposal of the trustees to employ an architect to draw up plans for the construction of a city hall on a site, part of which was purchased for that exclusive purpose at a cost of $8000 three years ago. That paper threatened that the moment the contract was let to an architect petitions for a recall of the trustees would be circulated. Why the trustees should be recalled because they purpose giving to the city what every man and woman knows is an absolute necessity, and giving it without an extra dollar of cost, is more than we can comprehend. Perhaps the editor of that paper can give a reasonable explanation. He has been a resident of the city only a few months. He is not a citizen here and would have no vote in the election recalling the trustees, but we would be glad to learn why he wants to recall the trustees for giving the people what the people want and need. That newspaper also made a discovery that is of particular interest to the people of Anaheim. There are five members of the board of trustees. They were elected because the people believed them to be honorable men, competent and capable of administering the affairs of this city, but the editor has discovered that the board is composed of William Stark and four young men of a nation are its defenders. It is their duty to defend the children who are too young to fight in their own defense. It is their duty to defend the old who are too feeble to defend themselves. It is their duty to defend the flag when it is threatened by a foreign foe. It is their duty to defend our altars and our fires and the green graves of our sires. We are going into a war against a relentless foe. We are not at war with the German people, but we are fighting Imperial Germany. We are at war with the Kaiser who seeks to bestride this narrow world like a Colossus and make all people subservient to his will. We are fighting for the liberty forefathers gained and handed down to us as a heritage. We are fighting to maintain the principal that government of the people, for the people, and by the people, shall not perish from the earth. Those young men whose names are drawn from the jury wheel are going forth to fight in defense of the helpless people of the nation dependent upon them. They are going to fight for their mothers, their wives, their sisters and their sweethearts, and it is expected that every man will do his duty. We believe the good red blood of our ancestors is flowing in the veins of the present generation of men, and that these boys who are going to war will return with the enemies' shields. They must win. If they do not Old Glory that has floated over the land of the free and the home of the brave for a hundred and forty years will be torn from its staff and the Imperial flag of Germany substituted. Never again will we see it. If they do not win never again will we be thrilled by the stirring strains of the Star Spangled Banner. It will be tabooed and we will all be obliged to rise up, doff our hats and bow our humiliated heads when the band plays Deutschland uber Alles. They are going forth to battle in a just cause, and the support of the Millions of them responded to the call to the colors and untold thousands gave the last full measure of devotion to the flag.

They were elected because the people believed them to be honorable men, competent and capable of administering the affairs of this city, but the editor has discovered that the board is composed of William Stark and four puppets who only echo his voice when he speaks. That is the most ridiculous statement in the entire article. People who attend the meetings of the trustees know that all propositions that come before that body are weighed and discussed and that there are frequent divisions among them. One man's voice is no more potent than another. The insinuation is an insult to the entire board of trustees. THE CALL TO THE COLORS On Tuesday, June 5, eleven million young men of America will register their names as eligible by age for military duty, and shortly afterward five hundred thousand of these will be drawn from the jury wheels to form the first unit of the great army this nation is raising to combat Germany. The American people are a peace-loving people, but history shows that they can lay aside their industrial implements, take up arms, and in an incredibly short space of time be transformed into the best soldiers in the world. Anaheim's contingent in this first army will probably be 25 men. The list of names drawn will constitute a roll of honor. These young men are going forth to defend the nation, and it is pertinent to the times Brother Bill Kettner seems to have slipped it over Los Angeles in locating the military camp at Linda Vista. A double wedding was held at St. Boniface church Tuesday morning, Rev. Father Dubbel being the officiating clergyman. Miss Cecella Kneip was one of the brides, the groom being Mathias Salschelder. Miss Kneip has been a clerk at Kneip's grocery, the groom being a bartender in Germania Halle. Miss Mary Kneip and Arthur O'Brien, both of Los Angeles, were the second couple. Miss Kneip has been connected with the office of Fire Chief Eley, being a relative of that gentleman. Both the young couples left after the ceremony for Los Angeles and will make a trip to Catalina before taking up housekeeping. The Fullerton Knights of Pythias are going to have a blowout Thursday night and the Anaheim Knights will be there in a body. The Pasadena team, winners of the Royer cup will be on hand.

Munger The outlook for the oil business in the local field has brightened considerably during the past week. Operators have been seriously concerned as to the possibility of getting the necessary pipe and supplies to carry on the great amount of new work started as well as the work underway and near the finishing point. The pipe situation is getting better every day, and it is believed that if conditions do not get any worse the development work of the local field will go on unimpaired. The manager of one of the largest oil well supply houses in Brea stated early in the week to the oil correspondent that his company had more casing enroute at present time than at any time since the beginning of the year. While this casing is practically all sold it is believed that more will be on hand as soon as the demand for it is imperative. It is understood that the big steel mills of Pittsburg are practically forbidden to take outside orders until the government requirements are filled. Conservative estimates of the naval and military needs place the figure at about 15 per cent of the steel ingots made during the year. While this is a small amount, it comes all at once and the mills are compelled to give the government orders first attention. As soon as the national needs are supplied, there is no reason why the materials for the oil well men cannot be filled with the old speed and aside for the advanced price we will be compelled to pay the oil business will never know that the war is still on. The Amalgamated Oil company have No. 56 on the Annapolis Union lease hundreds of acres of new oil territory in the Fullerton field. The Columbia Oil company report the peculiar activity of their Pico lease well. The well was completed in 1910 and flowed making a good substantial production. The well continued to flow constantly up to a few days ago when it quit suddenly. Immediate steps were taken to put in rods and put the well on the beam. However before the work was completed the well resumed flowing and is now going again as steadily as ever. The Columbia people are drilling one well on the Orange lease and are down 1425 feet. In the Olinda field they are continuing the drilling of Nos. 27 and 28, the wells being down around the 2800 mark and will be completed in a short time. No. 29 is now going on cable tools and is 2100. The Fullerton Great West Oil Co. is putting in a new boiler plant to handle the producing wells. No. 1 is now on the beam, and No. 3 is delayed on account of water troubles. The Olinda Land company are now 3310 feet on well No. 17 and are about to discontinue drilling and put the well on the beam. The last hundred feet has been in a very encouraging oil sand and a good well is expected. No. 18 is drilling in shale at 2725. The state of California has dropped its suit brought by the department of the state oil and gas commission and has given the Providential Oil Co. a chance to put its property into condition and resume its development work. Water has been shut off at No. 4 in a manner satisfactory to the state and drilling has been resumed at a depth of 3000 feet. The state has acted very lenient in the matter involving this company and the defendants are to be congratulated in being allowed to proceed with their work started at once and will be known as La Merced Nos. 1 and 2. The purchase by the Union of the producing wells, tankage, pipe lines and transportation equipment of the Pinal Dome company is a significant factor in the management of Union affairs. The policy of the company is to broaden out as much as possible and secure a rightful share of the petroleum business of the state. The Union now owns some of the best portions of the state's oil lands and is getting in shape to develop them on a large scale. The completion of the big refinery at the Los Angeles harbor will give the Union a great refining business and the acquirement of the Pinal Dome increases the company's marketing facilities considerably. The Union Oil company under the able management of E. W. Clark is destined to be the leading developer and producer of petroleum in the state of California. During the past year the Union has come to the front in a surprising manner, taken its place as one of the greatest developers of the state's oil resources and given the public a quality 'and service that has made the name Union stand for the best of everything. On the Bastanchury lease the Union has one of the deep wells of the Fullerton field. Drilling continues in the blue shale at 4130. No. 6 is being successfully redrilled at 1800 feet. Berkenstock No. 2 is going ahead nicely, the tools now running at 2730. At Bixby the Union is meeting with the usual success that has attended the drilling of the well thus far and are at the 2630 mark. Work on the Chapman lease is going ahead rapidly. A rig for the first well is about completed and will be rigged up before the end of the week. On the Graham Loftus No. 40 is being tested out for water. No. 41 is drilling and No. 42 is being rigged up. No. 50 is drilling at 3075 and looking good. at once and the mills are compelled to give the government orders first attention. As soon as the national needs are supplied, there is no reason why the materials for the oil well men cannot be filled with the old speed and aside for the advanced price we will be compelled to pay the oil business will never know that the war is still on. The Amalgamated Oil company have No. 56 on the Aanhelm Union lease rigged up and will commence drilling there in a few days. On the same property they have commenced work on redrilling of the line wells and have started work on Nos. 12 and 28. These wells made a big production when finished four years ago, but the production has decreased considerably and it is believed that the redrilling and deepening of the wells will do a lot toward restoring the production to its original figure. On the Hualde property the Amalgamated people are drilling on No. 2 at 1400 and No. 9 is fishing at 2040. Owing to the trouble with water and emulsion coming into the production of a number of the wells of the Amalgamated company, the company has found it necessary to install an electrical dehydrating plant of the Petroleum Rectifying company's type. Material is being put on the ground for the plant and the work of installing will be rushed as fast as possible. It is the aim of the operators in this field to get all the oil possible and to make all the oil as good as the most up to date appliances for the handling of petroleum will make it. During the past year at least a half dozen electrical cleaning plants have been installed in the local field, and demonstrated the superior efficiency of the electrical method over others. The Birch Oil company is drilling on No. 14 and are getting along nicely at 1750. On account of an exceedingly hard shell formation progress is somewhat slow. The work of getting the water shut off on the producing wells of the company is almost completed and excellent results have been secured. The work has been done under state supervision and has been done in a very satisfactory manner. Supt. Royer is an oil man from the ground up and he can be depended upon to put the property of the Birch company in the best possible condition. The Standard Oil company is continuing with all the work started a few months ago at Montebello and is making a great showing in the new field. On the Baldwin tract they have No. 2 drilling at 1450. No. 3 is at 1175, and No. 4 is 1340. The exceedingly hard formation encountered last week still continues making the progress a little slow. On the Temple lease the Standard has well No. 1 down 1850 feet, and report the going good. The Standard has commenced work on a 35,000-bbl storage tank for oil to be used for emergency purposes at Montebello. The three wells now being drilled may come into the gusher class and the production would be a problem to handle. In the local field the Standard has resumed work on Coyote 2-9. The well is being cleaned out preparatory to drilling. The depth is 1270. On the Emery lease they are drilling three wells, No. 31, 32 and 33. Nos. 31 and 32 are the deep wells being better than 3600 each. No. 33 is also getting pretty well down. The Murphy property is the scene of the Standard's greatest activity in this field at the present time. Nine strings of tools are in operation and well depths on the nine wells run from 4300 to 3000 feet. A number of wells will be completed on the Murphy lease in the very near future. From the standpoint of production the Murphy property has proven one of the best finds in the entire field of Orange county. At Whittler the Standard has brought by the department of the state oil and gas commission and has given the Providential Oil Co. a chance to put its property into condition and resume its development work. Water has been shut off at No. 4 in a manner, satisfactory to the state and drilling has been resumed at a depth of 3000 feet. The state has acted very lenient in the matter involving this company and the defendants are to be congratulated in being allowed to proceed with their work. It is hoped that their experience will prove valuable to all the operators and impress upon every oil man in the field that the state means business and that the oil resources of this field as well as those of other parts of the state must be preserved. The Standard Oil company is continuing with all the work started a few months ago at Montebello and is making a great showing in the new field. On the Baldwin tract they have No. 2 drilling at 1450. No. 3 is at 1175, and No. 4 is 1340. The exceedingly hard formation encountered last week still continues making the progress a little slow. On the Temple lease the Standard has well No. 1 down 1850 feet, and report the going good.

The well is being cleaned out preparatory to drilling. The depth is 1270. On the Emery lease they are drilling three wells, No. 31, 32 and 33. Nos. 31 and 32 are the deep wells being better than 3600 each. No. 33 is also getting pretty well down. The Murphy property is the scene of the Standard's greatest activity in this field at the present time.

At Bixby the Union is meeting with the usual success that has attended the drilling of the well thus far and are at the 2630 mark. Work on the Chapman lease is going ahead rapidly. A rig for the first well is about completed and will be rigged up before end of the week. On the Graham Loftus No. 40 is being tested out for water. "No. 41 is drilling and No. 42 is being rigged up. No. 50 is drilling at 3075 and looking good. On the Hole lease the Union is running 7 strings of tools and work is going at top speed. Drilling at No. 8 is at 3100. At No. 9 the depth is 3640. No. 14 is now in the oil sand at 3150. No. 16 is rotating at 2000 feet. No. 17 is rotating at the 2600 mark and No. 18 has passed the 3300 mark. On the Meyer well the Union met with its first delay since the well was started. Drill pipe twisted off at 3100 leaving a few joints in the hole. Fishing is underway and it looks as though the lost pipe will be gotten out before any appreciable delay. The fishing job now on is the first delaythe Union has had in the rapid and successful drilling of the Myer well.The work has been carried on very carefully but drill pipe will twist off occasionally.

Swedging has been underway for a number of weeks and it was thought up to a few days ago that the casing could be successfully joined together and the well put to producing again. Reports from the well this week are not so hopeful and it is feared that the Brea Canyon Co. will lose its best well. Drilling at 20 is going good at 2250. The hole at No. 30 has been straightened up and drilling is underway again at 200 ft., the 20 inch casing going in. After standing cemented for a period of two weeks the wildcat well of the Copa de Ora Oil company will be opened up before the end of the week. Drilling out the cement is now in progress. A test at the close of the week will reveal the success of the cementing job and the quantity of oil present. While a surprise may be in store it is the concensus of opinion among oil men that it will be necessary to drill on down to a depth of 3500 feet. The well was cemented at 3100. Los Angeles capital is backing the enterprise and their success will open up At Whittler the Standard has commenced the redrilling and deepening of No. 41. Drilling is underway at 46, 47, 48, 49, and 50. A new rig stands for 51. On the Savage lease they are having trouble with No. 12. Sand is hindering the well from producing, and redrilling and deepening has been started. The San 'Diego Consolidated are wrestling with the problem of shutting off the water on two of its wells in the east side of the field. Water has been a serious menace to the progress of development of all oil properties east of the Union Oil company's Graham Loftus lease. Every company endeavoring to get a well in the extreme east end of the Fullerton field has been compelled to combat the water problem, a number of wells have been abandoned on this account and those that are producing are making a small amount of oil carrying considerable water. The Union Oil company has decided to follow the lead of the Standard and will try for its share of the production of the new Montebello oil field. The Union has purchased and leased a combined acreage of some very promising territory and has already commenced work on the building of roads and well grades. Two wells will be completed its No. 54 and announce the production at 300 barrels. No. 60 is drilling at 2950. No. 84 is going good at 2100. At No. 74 a new rig has been built. Bollers are being installed for No. 68 and No. 63 will start drilling in a few days. The Federman Oil company operating on the east side of the Brea field have started work on the pulling of the liners out of three of its wells, intending to salvage the material while the price is good.

When the Gazette force reached the office yesterday morning they discovered a bullet hole in one of the large plate glass windows in the front of the building. A circular portion of the glass two inches in diameter was splintered and particles of glass carried to the rear of the room. Who did it, for what purpose and at what hour we have no knowledge. A small American flag is pasted in the center of the glass, but if the vandal was shooting at that he is a poor marksman. He missed it by two feet. Dr. J. H.
