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 STILL KNOCKING THE TRUSTEES At a special meeting of the trustees Thursday night President Schneider appointed a committee to consult an architect and have plans submitted for a new city hall to be erected at the corner of South Claudina and Center streets. Certain advocates of a civic center, backed by a newspaper of this city, are opposing the proposition, but the board feels that it has a majority of the city's population behind it, and that now is the time to erect a modern municipal building, as it can be constructed without resorting to a bond issue. The newspaper referred to has threatened recall proceedings and is still heaping insults upon the trustees by insinuating that Councilman Stark is the boss who dictates the policy of the city's governing body. It says it is interesting to note the self-imposed laurels with which Stark is attempting to adorn himself for having accumulated $20,000 in the general fund through a lavish tax rate and through miserly conduct of the city's business. What that means we are unable to comprehend. The tax rate was no higher than that voted by previous boards, and no necessary expenditures have been curtailed. The fact that the board finds itself in a position to build a new city hall without resorting to a bond issue because the sur- OIL FIELD NOTES By Elwood J. Mynger The month of June opens with development work strong in this field. A careful survey of the field reveals a remarkable activity through out the entire field of the oil producing area of Orange county. This wonderful activity is all the more wonderful when the conditions under which the oil operators are laboring, are understood. I venture to say that any industry having to work under the circumstances that confront the oil men, that industry would go to the wall at top speed. It is a known fact that the price of oil well supplies and development materials have advanced in price all the way from 25 to 100 per cent. Not only has the tremendous advance in supplies and materials cut the profits of the business, but the scarcity and inability of operators to get the needed supplies has made new development work a hazardous business. An operator might start a well and get so far and not be able to finish it on account of not being able to get the required pipe, and thus lose all his previous work. Few business men would start a project that the completion of the work has as much to depend upon as the oil men have today. Notwithstanding all these difficulties the local field is holding its own in a very noticeable manner. After several months of constant and tireless work on one of the most difficult fishing jobs ever undertaken any place, Field Foreman Grinnell states that he has been able to get a string of tools and a wire line out of Hualde No. 9. The tools were lost at 2050, the wire line lying on top of the tools made the fishing job look anything but good and the lost tools and lumbia company has come with the old time regulations been tubed and the rods work agitated the well immediate placing on the necessary. This well will be 1910. The Fullerton Oil company good progress on its two No. 10 is now down 330, 10-inch casing. No. 11 2788 and still in the 8½ tinues to hold its own 50 per cent oil. The Fullerton Great pany after combatting troubles for a number of succeeded in getting off and have two well production. The Fullerton property is located on one of the field and has been used for water troubles. The General Petroleum having some difficulty in way on the Carson tractor to all wells drilled all front the sand encountered 1000 foot mark is almost sand and it is very difficult the side walls of the It has been found necessary mud for the mudding before drilling can proceed. The New Era Oil work at Placentia has deal of attention on men in the Southern part is being financially rebuilt is believed that the new go ahead with the work. The original New Era composed of a group of who took a lease on 4 near Placentia. The started and drilled to feet. Results will be both as to the success to adorn himself for having accumulated $20,000 in the general fund through a lavish tax rate and through miserly conduct of the city's business. What that means we are unable to comprehend. The tax rate was no higher than that voted by previous boards, and no necessary expenditures have been curtailed. The fact that the board finds itself in a position to build a new city hall without resorting to a bond issue because the surplus money in the treasury was not needlessly squandered does not mean a miserly administration. One of the arguments used by the opponents of the proposition is that the price of material is high at the present time and that it will cost considerably more than under normal conditions. That argument does not prevent individual citizens from erecting splendid new buildings. If it did Anaheim would pass into a state of hibernation and remain asleep, possibly for all time to come. Anyhow the material in the present city hall and in the brick building purchased from Napoleon Hart will be used in the construction of the new structure, and will furnish the major part of it. People who advocate the civic center overlook the fact that the price of land has gone up also and it costs much more to purchase the proposed site now than it could have been secured for two or three years ago. Also that it would cost just as much for new material to erect the city hall on the civic center site. The people of Anaheim will overwhelmingly defeat a proposition to vote a heavy bond issue for a civic center, but the trustees can build a city hall now without issuing bonds and without the people paying a dollar of additional taxes. In fact, the board, notwithstanding the money to be spent for the new building, is contemplating a reduction of the taxes next year. Anaheim has been economically and wisely governed by the present board, and the only miserlyness we can accuse the members of is neglecting to give us a city hall in keeping with the spirit of progress that animates the citizens of the town. The newspaper referred to also says that Trustee Cook is tottering on the ragged edge between the two propositions, and that one other member of the board may break away from Mr. Stark's leading string. John Cook was one of the men who purchased the Hart corner for a city hall, and he is not wobbling its own in a very noticeable manner. After several months of constant and tireless work on one of the most difficult fishing jobs ever undertaken any place, Field Foreman Grinnell states that he has been able to get a string of tools and a wire line out of Hualde No. 9. The tools were lost at 2050, the wire line lying on top of the tools made the fishing job look anything but good and the lost tools and line had been in the hole so long that the whole thing was sanded up badly. The success of the work allows drilling to proceed at 2050 again and new hole will be made with the old time speed. Hualde No. 2 is drilling in boulders at 1700 feet. Anaheim Union lease No. 56 is rigged up and drilling will start there before the end of the week. Redrilling of No. 12 and 28 continues to go good. Hard luck struck on the Birch Hill this week. The Birch Oil company are the losers at No. 14, the only well drilling on the property. A string of 12½ pipe parted allowing 100 feet to fall into the hole. The work of washing over the pipe has commenced and unless it can be washed over and fished out it will be necessary to drill the long section of pipe up, which will require considerable time. Supt. Royer states that the campaign of shutting off the water on the other wells of the property has been under way for several months and the success has not been what has been expected. While good headway has been made in the fight against the water, and the production has been greatly benefited yet the success has not been complete, and a renewed effort will be made to shut off every drop of water that threatens to menace the producing wells of the Birch property. More cementing will be done immediately and the results watched closely. For the past two months the Brea Canyon Oil company have been working hard to swedge out the casing in well No. 28 and save the well. This well was cut off by formation movement so severe that three strings of casing were severed and the production of the well completely cut off. Swedging has been underway constantly since the unfortunate occurrence, but it seems that the well will have to be abandoned. The wen is a heavy loss to the company as it was rated as one of the company's best work at Placentaia on men in the Southern pines being financially reckoned is believed that the new go ahead with the work. The original New Era composed of a group of who took a lease on 4 near Placentia. The started and drilled to feet. Results will be both as to the success method used in the nature of the formation. The Olinda Land co-well No. 17 down 3370 look is very good, so drilling could be stopped now and a good well is intended of the drill through the entire sand.

The newspaper referred to also says that Trustee Cook is tottering on the ragged edge between the two propositions, and that one other member of the board may break away from Mr. Stark's leading string. John Cook was one of the men who purchased the Hart corner for a city hall, and he is not wobbling in his belief that the new structure should be built on that site. There is another proposition that confronts the trustees. The land on which the city hall is located was donated to the city for the express purpose for which it is now used. Title to the ground would probably revert back to the donor in case the building was removed. An entertainment was given at Guild Hall Friday afternoon by Mrs. R. B. Herman, assisted by Mrs. F. B. Kern. Many ladies were present, and five hundred was the chief entertainment of the afternoon. The first prize was won by Mrs. Theodore Roberts, the second by Mrs. Al Nowotny and the third by Mrs. John Kellenberger. Another party will be given June 20 with Mrs. Herman and Mrs. F. A. Backs as hostesses. Children's school work will be on exhibition at St. Joseph's academy on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday next. An invitation is extended to the public to call at the academy and inspect the work. Charles Halley of Los Angeles was a business visitor in town Tuesday, and renewing old acquaintances. As reported last week the Copa de Oro wild cat well has been standing cemented for a couple of weeks. The cement has been drilled out and before the end of the week the success of the cementing will be known and the capacity of the formation for oil ascertained. The well was cemented at a depth of 3100 feet, and as soon as the testing work is completed drilling will be resumed and then carried down to the oil sands if there are any there. While there is considerable speculation as to the possibility of getting oil the more experienced oil men in the field figure that it will be necessary to go to a depth of at least 3500 feet. The Columbia Oil Producing company at Olinda have three wells drilling and all three wells are showing oil in very encouraging quantities. No. 26 and 28 are drilling at better than 2800 feet. No. 26 is about to be completed and No. 28 will be the next to be finished up. No. 29 is making good progress around 2200 feet. The Pico well, property of the Co- Thos.

The West its oil tool work do regular company wor stood that the Union Brea has been given lunibia company has ceased to flow with the old time regularity and has been tubed and the rods put in. The work agitated the well so that the immediate placing on the beam was not necessary. This well was drilled in 1910. The Fullerton Oil company report good progress on its two drilling wells. No. 10 is now down 3367 feet in the 10-inch casing. No. 11 is drilling at 2788 and still in the 8½%. No. 12 continues to hold its own and is making 50 per cent oil. The Fullerton Great West Oil company after combatting water and pipe troubles for a number of months have succeeded in getting the water shut off and have two wells making fair production. The Fullerton Great West property is located on the east front of the field and has become famous for water troubles. The General Petroleum company are having some difficulty in making headway on the Carson tract well. Similar to all wells drilled along the water front the sand encountered around the 1000 foot mark is almost pure beach sand and it is very difficult to make the side walls of the well stand up. It has been found necessary to import mud for the mudding up of the well before drilling can proceed. The New Era Oil company whose work at Placentia has elicited a good deal of attention on the part of oil men in the Southern part of the state is being financially reorganized and it is believed that the new company will go ahead with the work undertaken. The original New Era company was composed of a group of San Diego men who took a lease on 43 acres of land near Placentia. The well has been started and drilled to a depth of 200 feet. Results will be watched closely both as to the success of the novel manufacturing work heretofore handled by the West Coast shop. The West Coast company commences the month of June with a heavy development card. No. 84 is holding up well to its initial production, making better than 200 bbls. No. 80 is drilling at 2990. No. 84 is making hole at 2200 feet. At No. 63 a new rig has been completed and rigging up work is under way. Rigs are in process of construction for Nos. 68 and 74. This work outlines the starting of three new wells for this company. The popularity of the electric dehydration method of cleaning oil continues to grow with operators here who have oil containing emulsion and foreign matter difficult to separate. This week the West Coast company placed on order for two of these plants for cleaning oil on the company's Olinda property. Oil in the Fullerton field that is almost impossible to clean yields its water and emulsion to the electric treatment easily and the results obtained are very satisfactory. Oil cutting as high as 60% can be brought down to less than ½%, and the process does not heat the oil hot enough to drive off any of the light products. A few weeks ago the Calokla Oil company saw fit to abandon all wells on its Lehmer lease and closed the wells down, pulling all available pipe. The property of the Federman Oil company lies adjacent to the Calokla company and as soon as the wells of the Calokla company were shut down the Federman producers began to show an increase. A few weeks ago the Federman production was a little over a thousand barrels. Now the production is 1800 and the oil is of a fair quality. The Union Oil company is going ahead at a rapid pace in the Brea field. The company now has more men in having difficulty to get a well of any value at No. 12. Water trouble persists. A grade has been made for No. 15 and a rig for No. 16. The Santa Fe Oil company is now the big developer of oil property in the Olinda field and have a large amount of work underway and future plans that look as though the company intends to keep busy. No. 47 is drilling at 2763 in the shale; No. 76 is drilling at 2300 in sand; No. 78 is drilling at 1145 feet; No. 79 is rigging and drilling will start there before the end of the week. At No. 80 the foundation for a new rig is going in. At the Santos ranch the Santa Fe's Pomona lease property the well started there a few weeks ago is down 500 feet and going good. Local Notes Last reports from William Schumacher, who is lying very ill, is that there has been little change in his condition for several days past. Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung leave today on a two-months' tour of Alaska and the Klondike region. M. E. Bever and family started east in an automobile Monday, their destination being Kansas City. They will be absent three months, visiting Yellowstone National park on the return trip. On Thursday evening, June 14, the Anaheim Elks will have a patriotic demonstration at the Fairyland theatre. Judge Bledsoe will be the principal speaker. The Palace Meat Market has been sold by William Schumacher to Jake Bergman of Santa Ana, who took possession Tuesday. Friends of William The Olinda Land company have its well No. 17 down 3370 feet. The outlook is very good, so good in fact that drilling could be stopped at any time now and a good well secured. It is the intention of the management to drill through the entire stratum of oil sand. The well is showing very good. No. 18 is drilling at 2760, and is also looking good at this early depth. The Providential Oil company is showing the state oil and gas commission their intention to do the right thing and are getting their property into very satisfactory condition in as short a time as possible. The company now have two wells on the pump and are producing a good grade of oil. No. 4 is drilling at a depth of 3200 feet. No. 5 is temporarily shut down waiting on a string of left hand pipe. The Tri State Oil company have faith in the possibility of being able if good luck is with them to open up deep territory in the vicinity of La Habra. Their well is one of the deepest in the local field and at a depth of 4915 feet the well is still in the shale formation. This company has spent a large sum of money on the La Habra deep well and it is hoped that fortune is in store for them, even though the chances of failure seem to loom up. At this great depth nothing but a flowing well making a good sized production would be of any value. Thos. Strain a rancher near Brea has commenced operations on a well drilled more than two years ago. An effort will be made to shut off bottom water and to deepen the well. Work has been resumed in earnest and will be carried to a successful completion as soon as possible. The Union Oil company is going ahead at a rapid pace in the Brea field. The company now has more men in its employ than ever before, and the May pay roll just closed was the largest in the history of the company's development work and speaks well for what the Union Oil company will do in the future here. At Bastanchury No. 5 a deep well is underway, the depth is now 4160 in a blue shale formation with drilling going ahead nicely. At No. 6 redrilling has progressed to 1800 feet. No. 2 on the Berkenstock lease stands cemented at 2780. Work is being rushed as fast as possible on the new Chapman property. The rig for No. 1 is almost completed. This well is a wild catter and drilling will be started as soon as possible. On the Graham Loftus lease the Unand rotating. No. 18 the well that is drilling at 2750 and No. 50 is in the oil sand at 3070. No. 42 was started rotating and has made 600 feet of hole. Eight strings of tools are in operation on the Hole lease and good progress has been made on all wells during the past week. No. 8 has been cemented at 3100; No. 9 is drilling in the oil sand at 3700; No. 11 is also in the oil sand at 3650; No. 14 is drilling at 3740; No. 15 is standing cemented; No. 16 has made 2200 feet on the rotary and No. 17 is down 2700 feet and rotating. No. 18 the well taht is destined to make the Hole property famous is at the 3400 mark. Onthe Naranjal property the Union have four wells drilling. No. 6 is 2530, No. 7 is drilling at 2358. The work of redrilling No. 8 has commenced and the job has progressed to 600 feet. No, 10 is drilling at 1200 feet. The Union has cemented the Myer well at a depth of 3200 feet. The well will stand for a couple of weeks. On opening up it is believed that some startling results will be obtained before the well is much deeper. This week saw the Union start operations at Montebello. The Union company lies adjacent to the Calokla company and as soon as the wells of the Calokla company were shut down the Federman producers began to show an increase. A few weeks ago the Federman production was a little over a thousand barrels. Now the production is 1800 and the oil is of a fair quality.

Strain a rancher near Brea has commenced operations on a well drilled more than two years ago. An effort will be made to shut off bottom water and to deepen the well. Work has been resumed in earnest and will be carried to a successful completion as soon as possible. The oldest and perhaps the most historic oil tool shops in the local field has been closed for all time as far as is known at the present time. The shops operated by the West Coast Oil company on its Olinda property have been doing oil tool repair work and a general manufacturing business for the past 17 years and filled a recognized need and a great place in the oil industry in this field. The management state that the West Coast Oil company is in the business of developing and producing oil and that the overhead expense coupled with the expense of materials used and labor and attention required did not commensurate with the amount of work the shops did for the company. The public were really being benefited more by the operation of the shops than the oil company and as the company is desirious of quitting the manufacturing business and wish to devote all their time to the oil industry. The shops were erected by the Victor Hall Oil company close to 19 years ago and have been carried for a period of 17 years by the West Coast company. The West Coast will have its oil tool work done outside of the regular company work and it is understood that the Union Tool company of Brea has been given the repair and No. 7 is drilling at 2358. The work of redrilling No. 8 has commenced and the job has progressed to 600 feet. No, 10 is drilling at 1200 feet. The Union has cemented the Myer well at a depth of 3200 feet. The well will stand for a couple of weeks. On opening up it is believed that some startling results will be obtained before the well is much deeper. This week saw the Union start operations at Montebello. The Union has a force of men grading, laying pipe lines and getting material on the ground for two rigs. This field has been proven up and the Union has secured an acreage of promising territory. It seems that the inevitable has hit the local field. The first company to be hit very hard on the pipe shortage situation is the Standard Oil company's Murphy lease property. Six wells are standing cemented and work can not go ahead until the necessary pipe arrives. Murphy No. 21 is tied up with a fishing job at 4060 feet. Nos. 23, 28, 29, 30, and 32 are the wells standing cemented. No. 23 is drilling at 1655 in the 13½ casing. The Standard announces the completion of well No. 26 on the Murphy Coyote property. The well is rated at 1600 barrels of 23 gravity oil. On the Emery lease the Standard has three wells drilling. No. 31 is being tested out at 3644; No. 32 is drilling at 3625 and I nthe 6¼; No. 33 is drilling at 2593 in the 15½ casing. At Whittier the Standard is going ahead with development work very rapidly and have seven strings of tools in operation. On the Savage lease the Standard Someone stole 50 feet of hose from the yard of Tom Hollingsworth on Broadway on Monday evening. Tom would have given the miscreant a warm reception had he known of his visit. The domestic science section of the Anaheim Ebell will hold its meeting on the fourth Friday of this month, instead of the second Friday, as previously announced at Masonic temple at half past two. A patriotic ball will be given at the Placentia school house tonight, the proceeds to be used for the benefit of the aviation corps. Tickets $1.00, ladies free. Rose Pressel, alleged to have several aliases, and to be known as Rose Fisher in Los Angeles, where she practiced fortune telling, was arrested last Friday by Private Detective R. Langraf of Los Angeles and brought to Santa Ana charged with attempting to poison her husband, Fred Presel of Placentia. The warrant for her arrest was issued by Justice of the Peace Ashley of Placentia and the complaint was sworn to by Tom Hoag. She was given a preliminary hearing Saturday morning in the justice court and bound over to the superior court without bail. Detective Landgraf alleges that, after having administered the polisin, she prevailed on her husband to give her $300. She then went to Los Angeles, where she was arrested and returned to Santa Ana. According to Landgraf, she admits having administered the polison, but refuses to state the nature of the drug used. Pressel was saved by the use of a stomach pump.

SCENE FROM THE ARGONAUTS, NEW GRAND, JUNE 13 and 14 William Umland, a member of the Southern Counties Gas company force and Miss Mildred Hunt were married Thursday morning by Rev. C. W. F. Daniels. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hunt of East Chartres street. The young couple motored to the residence of the minister where the ceremony was performed after which they left for the south in the groom's automobile. They will visit San Diego and other points before returning home. When the river protection project was first launched here, and when much preliminary work was necessary to get the venture in a tangible shape, Engineer O. E. Steward of this city volunteered his services and surveyed a route for the new river channel and did much other work in order to get the reclamation work under way. All the surveys and maps have been made with a view to permanency and will be available for any protection work that may be sought to be established in the future. Through an error the United Storm water district proceedings were annulled in court, but a new district is now in process of formation, with every prospect of being carried to a successful conclusion. Mr. Steward has performed work for the district, which is reckoned to be between $600 and as a souvenir by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Helmsen. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Burkhart entertained a number of friends at dinner Sunday. The sheriff's office completed another raid on the Mexicans Monday. This time they succeeded in breaking up a poker game and confiscating a bottle of wine. Seven men were arrested. Each was fined $10 for gambling. The raid was made at Alamitos. The Mexican people seem to be the only ones who are gambling, drinking or selling liquor in Orange county, if the work of the sheriff's office may be taken as an indication. At least they are the only ones who have been arrested for some time past on those charges. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. Suit has been brought by Frank W.

As yet Mr. Steward has only received $100 in way of remuneration—$50 from the Anaheim board of trade and the Garden Grove people also gave him a check for $50. By all means Mr. Steward should be fully reimbursed for all his labors performed in perfecting the preliminary work pertaining to the formation of the district, and we believe that those who have the good will of the district at heart will see to it that the account is squared.

This ordinance provides that all persons wearing bathing suits on the public streets must don a coat, cloak, bath rode or ulster, reaching to the knees unless going directly to, or returning from the waters of the ocean or bay. It also provides that the length of the skirt of any bathing suit or costume shall not be more than ten inches above the knees of the wearer.
