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 A CURIOUS JOURNALISTIC FREAK Printing local newspapers for several towns off of one set of forms, changing only the headings and the date lines is a new idea in journalism that has been introduced in this region, and the publishing fraternity is awaiting with interest the ultimate outcome of this new system. We have been handed a copy of the Brea Bulletin, which publication made its first appearance five weeks ago. What interest it can have for the people of Brea is more than we can comprehend as it is simply a reprint of four pages of the dinky little Plain Dealer with the heading and date line changed. The only thing in it local to the town of Brea is a column of oil field notes which was written for the Plain Dealer. We are informed that a similar publication is being circulated, or will be circulated shortly, at Yorba Linda. One of these freak newspapers has for some months been forced upon the people of Fullerton in the face of a unanimous declaration by the business men's association that the field was amply and ably covered, and they would not patronize a third paper. The first duty of a local paper is to uphold the institutions of its town. The editor should live among the people and take a prominent part in the town's development. He should go on hand with the business men. rado and Ohio 18, with Wyoming 19, and Connecticut 20. The other states range from Oregon, with 21 up to Alabama, which has 81 people for each car or truck. A comparison with the population to car ratio in the various states at the end of 1916 is of value. Up to July 1, 1917, there were 16 states with fewer than 20 persons per car or truck, as compared with only 10 in this class last year; 17 more states averaged between 20 and 30 persons per vehicle, as against 17 in the 1916 list; the remaining 17 are made of of five states having an average of between 30 and 40, six with 50 to 60, two in the sixties, three seventies and one with over 80. Last year 19 states averaged over 30 persons to each motor vehicle registered, with seven in the 30-to-40 division and 12 averaging from 40 to 100 people per motor vehicle. The remaining three, Alabama, Louisiana and Arkansas, all had over 100. This year Louisiana and Arkansas have 73, instead of 108 and 118 respectively, and Alabama has 81 instead of 104. One of the most interesting features of the new registration statistics is the fact that there are seven states with registrations of 200,000 or over as compared with only four states having attained this rank at the beginning of the year. At the beginning of 1916 only one state, New York had over 200,000 cars and trucks on its registration list. HELLO THERE, WOLVERINES Where ever you are listen to this call to attend the great fall picnic reunion of the Michigan people from all over our Southland, under the auspices of the Michigan Association of Southern California. It is to be a happy social gathering for all the folks from the old home state, and will be held in Sycamore Grove, Los Angeles, all Linda. One of these freak newspapers has for some months been forced upon the people of Fullerton in the face of a unanimous declaration by the business men's association that the field was amply and ably covered, and they would not patronize a third paper. The first duty of a local paper is to uphold the institutions of its town. The editor should live among the people and take a prominent part in the town's development. He should go and in hand with the business men of the town and work for their interests. The field at Brea is amply covered by the Progress which is printed in and for the town of Brea, the publisher's interests being solely in that town. It is an insult to the intelligence of the people of Brea to offer them a reprint of an Anaheim paper and call it their own. It is hinted that the ubiquitous Plain Dealer man contemplates adding yet a fifth link to his chain of papers by sending one of his reprints to another small neighboring town in an endeavor to crowd out the local man who has an established business and who is giving the people an excellent paper. It remains to be seen whether business men and residents in these outlying sections will support their own bona fide newspapers, or whether this curious journalistic freak will be able to foist his rehashed papers upon them. As we say, it is an insult to the intelligence of the people of those communities to offer them such trashy sheets as Editor Ernest has been distributing among them. A GROWING INDUSTRY The United States now has over 4,000,000 motor vehicles, 4,242,139, to be exact, which means that there is an automobile or a truck for every 24 persons in this country. This gigantic total is approximately six times the total number of vehicles in use in all the rest of the world. Figures just released show that between January 1 and July 1 of this year there was an increase of 700,401 cars, an advance of 20 per cent and an increase over the same period of the previous year of 191,724. This is remarkably considering the war. Approximately half a million trucks are included in the total figures. There are 45,531 car agencies, garages, repair shops and supply houses, an increase of 4619, the total includ- HELLO THERE, WOLVERINES Where ever you are listen to this call to attend the great fall picnic reunion of the Michigan people from all over our Southland, under the auspices of the Michigan Association of Southern California. It is to be a happy social gathering for all the folks from the old home state, and will be held in Sycamore Grove, Los Angeles, all day, Saturday, Sept. 22nd, 1917. Come as early in the morning as you can and stay all day long. Bring your picnic dinner (and supper too if you will), also cup and spoon—coffee will be furnished free to all who buy the badge. We will have county headquarters and registers so every one may easily find the old friends. We want to make this a day of rare pleasure for all of you. There will be a fine patriotic program with popular music led by Prof. S.W. Mountz and greetings from Michigan speakers, but the main object will be the jolly social fun and the happy renewals of old time friendship. The Wolverines by the thousand from all over Southern California will gather to meet you and to greet you. Tourists and visitors will be very welcome and can see the old friends who have come on before." BUY AT HOME "Patronize Home Industry" is an ancient motto, but it is a mighty good one to practice. Many people, however, persist in buying of agents for foreign houses, although they usually get stung. There are a few people in this region who are buying the family supply of coffee and tea, for instance, from solicitors for out-of-town houses, because of attractive premiums offered. They believe they are getting something for nothing, consequently they swallow the bait. This is all wrong. You can get the same goods, or a brand equally as good, right here in Anaheim for the same money, and you are helping maintain a local business. The Great Western Coffee & Tea Company is an Anaheim institution that employs solicitors and takes orders at your door, also delivering the goods. Mr. Criss, the proprietor, handles the best brands of coffee and tea, and sells as cheaply as any foreign agent. It's a good policy to buy of a home merchant who guaran- Figures just released show that between January 1 and July 1 of this year there was an increase of 700,401 cars, an advance of 20 per cent and an increase over the same period of the previous year of 191,724. This is remarkable considering the war. Approximately half a million trucks are included in the total figures. There are 45,531 car agencies, garages, repair shops and supply houses, an increase of 4619, the total including Hawaii, West Indies, Canada and Mexico. Dealers now number 27,052 as against 25,924; garages number 24,483 as against 23,686; repair shops number 13,161 as compared with 12,171; companies having supply departments, 7723, as compared with 5675; supply dealers exclusively, 2433, as compared with 2503 for 1916. Iowa has the honor of being the only state with fewer than ten persons per motor vehicle, its automobile and truck registration up to July 1, in relation to the census bureau estimate of 2,224,771 population for the state, indicating only nine people each car or truck. In other words, allowing for the greater carrying capacity of the commercial vehicles, busses, etc., included in its registration, Iowa has enough motor vehicles to transport its entire population at once. Nebraska is a close second to Iowa, having an average of twelve persons for each car or truck on its records. California has only twelve, which is remarkable when its population of 3,029.932 is considered, and two states, Kansas and South Dakota, are entitled to boast a motor vehicle to every 13 people within their borders. Two other states, Minnesota and North Dakota, have only 14 people per car or truck and Montana has but 15.

MUNGER The Amalgamated Oil company report the depth of the new Huntington tract well early in the week at 750 feet. This means that almost 300 feet has been made during the past seven days. The drilling is being done with standard tools in order that the formation encountered in the new field can be carefully watched. The company have a fixed policy for the drilling of all wild cat wells and operations in new fields in that the initial work is always done with standard tools. This company's operations in the Brea field include the drilling of Hualde No. 2, the depth being 2050 and indications are promising. On the Anaheim Water company lease they have No. 56 drilling and the rotary registers 2000 feet. The redrilling of No. 28 continues successful. Perhaps the most notable achievement recorded in the annals of olddom is credited to the ability and genius of Joseph Royer superintendent of the Birch Oil company. Several months ago Mr. Royer tackled a string of wells that the water was about to destroy. In fact the production of these wells at that time was of no great value. By persistent work, guided by years of experience, and assisted by the scientific methods used the water has been entirely shut off these wells. The production is now free from water. Special attention is called to the fact that the production of one well alone, No. 9 has been increased 100 bbls. The property of the Birch Oil company is now in excellent shape. Drilling on No. 14 of this company continues successfully at close to 2000 feet. ard under the supervision of one of the greatest oil men of the day, Walter G. Black, are pushing development work ahead as rapidly as consistent and careful procedure will allow. Three wells are drilling. Grading and rig building are underway for two new wells. Baldwin No. 3 is drilling at better than 2800 feet with indications very good. No. 4 is drilling, the tools running close to 2500 feet. No. 6 is also drilling and nearing the 2200 mark. The Tri State Oil company's test well at La Habra is taking on a very interesting phase in that the well only lacks 100 feet of being a mile deep. Drilling is still continuing and the management is highly pleased with conditions. A great well producing light oil is the writer's prediction. The West Coast Oil company drilling in the old Olinda field has three wells drilling and the success being made on them is worthy of notice. No. 3 reported last week at 1680 feet is now better than 1800. No. 68 is rotating at 955. No. 74 is drilling in a very hard formation at 1050 feet. At Bastanchury No. 5 the Union Oil company has every reason to believe that a good well is in sight. The depth is now 4470 and a long streak of high grade oil sand has been drilled thru. Drilling on No. 6 has advanced to 2160 feet. At Bixby the Union's attempt for an oil well are not very strong thus far. A depth of over 2900 feet has been drilled and no indications worthy of mention have been made. The well has been cemented at a little better than 2900 feet. What is believed to be the widest strata of conglomerate formation ever penetrated without any break of importance has been located on the Chapman property at Placentia. The MORE MEN CERTIFIED FOR ARMY SERVICE Nineteen From District Two are Listed To go Into Training Exemption board No. 2 has received its first certified list from the district board with the result that nineteen men have been declared subject to service. Some of these men were included in the first unit of ten who left last week for American Lake. One of the men, Elton D. Vanderburg, will probably be discharged, as it is stated a mistake has been made in his case, for although he was passed the first time, on re-examination he was discharged on account of defective eyes. The names of the men certified follow: Albert Montenegro, Los Angeles. Harold C. Elohler, Yorba Linda. Ernest P. Wieman, Tujunga. Abslam D. Hollis, Fullerton. Porfirio Gaxiola, Anaheim. Rudolph O. Peters, La Habra. John A. Pendleton, Norwalk. Weston W. Walrath, Fullerton. L. H. Moseley, Huntington Park. Joe Ortiz, Anaheim. William H. Barton, Yorba Linda. Robert W. Green, Anaheim. Arthur J.

Eighty more men will go from exemption district No. 2 of Orange county on Wednesday, September 19. The exemption board is beginning to make up a tentative list of the 80 men.

During the past month a change for further betterment has been noticed and today the well is doing 65 per cent oil. Drilling on No. 10 has progressed to 3467. At No. 11 the tools are operating at a depth of 3142. Advices from Placentia are to the effect that the New Era Oil company that started out so briskly a few months ago with the intention of startling the oil world with a new method of drilling for oil has become extinct. It seems that the enthusiastic backers of the new idea run out of coin of the realm and were unable to go ahead with the work. A portable rig was erected and some 200 feet of hole made. The work and property is now tied up in a law suit and unless certain judgments can be satisfied the New Era will be no more. On the Murphy property the Standard Oil company is running seven strings of tools and are making a good showing on all wells drilling. Wells drilling on the Murphy are Nos. 23, 29, 30, 31, 33, and 34. The depths of these wells run from 2600 to 3800. At No. 36 a grade has been made, and locations have been made for Nos. 37 and 38. Standard operations on the Whittier include the completion of two wells early this week. No. 47 has been finished at a depth of 2645. The well is doing 125 bbls of 19 gravity oil. No. 48 is also completed at a depth of 2182 feet. The well will be put on the pump in a few days and will probably go better than 100 bbls. Drilling is going ahead on Nos. 49, 50 and 52. Materials are being put on the grounds for three new wells, Nos. 54, 55 and 56. On the Baldwin property the Stand- The Union drilling on the La Merced lease on well No. 1 at Montebello has come into the oil sand at approximately 2200 feet. Indications are good for a strong well. No. 3 is rotating at a little better than 2100 feet. The Union is making preliminary preparations for the starting of another well immediately. The new well will be known at La Merced No. 4. Adjoining the property of the West Coast Oil company near the Olinda field the Union is drilling four wells on the Naranjal lease. At No. 6 drilling has advanced to 2900 feet. No. 7 is a close second with 2600 feet to its credit. No. 8 is standing cemented. No. 10 is $470 feet and going good. A report from the Santa Fe's San-tous ranch lease near Walnut in the Pomona valley has it that the wildcat well is somewhere around 1500 feet deep and that the results obtained thus far are good enough to warrant great hopes of opening up another big oil field similar to the Montebello Farmers state that a number of men have been going out lately scouting around for leases and are watching developments of the Santa Fe very closely. Progress on the well is being kept quiet. The well has been cemented at approximately 1500 feet and it is said that previous to cementing conditions were looking very good. At Olinda the Santa Fe has completed No. 76 at 3160 and now have the well on the pump. No. 77 is drilling in the sand at 2545. No. 78 is drilling at 2147 in shale. No. 79 is making hole at better than 1000 feet. No. 80 is at 1355. No. 81 commenced drilling early in the week an dis making hole rapidly. J. H. Whitaker made a business trip to Los Angeles Thursday.

As well as can be established it will raise by taxation about $2,406,670,000. The bill now stands in this form as it goes to the conference between the House and the Senate: Incomes,$842,200,000. War excess profits,$1,060,000,000. Liquors,$218,000,000. Tobacco,$56,600,000. Transportation,$141,750,000. Automobiles,etc.,$48,100,000. Admissions,$18,000,000. War stamps,$22,000,000. Virgin Island products,$20,000,000. Total,$2,406,670,000. By far the greater portion of the bill is derived from the taxes upon incomes and great profits made during the prosperous war years. Sleepers and berths will pay a tax of 5 per cent of cost. The same tax is imposed upon oil pipe lines and on telephone, telegraph and radio messages costing more than 15 cents.The House doubled all these 5 per cent taxes and also included a tax yielding $30,000,000 upon domestic gas, heat and electric light which the Senate struck out.

Mrs. Robison, Miss Alice Robinson and Miss Renshaw are spending a couple of weeks at Long Beach. Mrs. Melrose, Miss Winifred Melrose, Mrs. F. A. Backs, Jr., and Miss Gruco spent several days this week at Bay City. Two Fords collided in front of the First National bank yesterday morning, and both machines were badly damaged. No one was injured. Mrs. C. R. Moore, wife of Rev. C. R. Moore, formerly pastor of the Christian church in this city, died a few days ago, the funeral being held at Santa Fe Springs Wednesday. The sympathies of a large circle of Anaheim friends are extended to the bereaved family. Little Charlie White, three-year-old son of F. Grant White, had a narrow escape from death Sunday night, when he was thrown from an automobile. Mr. and Mrs. White and family were returning to their home on Placentia avenue, and while turning a corner the child, who was sitting in front, was thrown from the seat against the door. The door flew open and Charlie was catapulted into the street. A physician was hastily summoned and found that, aside from a bad gash on the forehead, his injuries were not serious. A police raid Tuesday night on the Whalen rooming house on Lemon street, resulted in the arrest of two women, Mrs. Maud Jones and her daughter, but the daughter was later released. Mrs. Jones was "biling" drunk and used unbecoming language. One peculiarity of the case is that the mother is 35 years old according to her own statement, while the daughter is 33. The Anaheim board of trade took the initiative toward the accomplishment of several very important matters to the people at the meeting Monday evening.
