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 SOLDIER INSURANCE One of the uses to which it is proposed to devote part of the proceeds of Liberty loan bonds is to afford to our soldiers and sailors life and indemnity insurance and to provide for allowance to their dependent families while they are in the ranks. Of this point Secretary McAdoo, whose plan of insurance for our fighting men was endorsed by the president and is now embodied in a law pending before congress, says: "Every soldier and sailor who serves his country in this war will earn everything the proposed war insurance bill provides; to be a beneficiary of the proposed law will be a badge of honor. "When we draft a wage earner, we call not only him but the entire family to the flag; the sacrifice entailed is not divisible. The wife and children, the mother, the father, are all involved in the sacrifice—they directly bear the burden of defence. They suffer just as much as the soldier but in different way, and the nation must generously discharge as a proud privilege the duty of maintaining them until the soldiers and sailors return from the war and resume the responsibility. "We have drawn the sword to vindicate America's violated rights, to restore peace and justice, and to secure the progress of civilization. We can" NO MIDDLE ROAD FOR AMERICAN CITIZEN F. GRANT WHITE DECLARES YOU ARE EITHER FOR OLD GLORY OR YOU ARE AGAINST IT PATRIOTIC ADDRESS AT NEW GRAND THEATRE CHEERED BY HUNDRED'S SATURDAY NIGHT The four-minute men under the direction of the county council of defense, again made short patriotic talks at the two theatres Saturday night. On the previous Saturday night Prof. C. R. Prince talked at the New Grand and F. Grant White at the Fairyland. Last Saturday the arrangement was changed, Prof. Prince speaking at the Fairyland and Mr. White at the Grand. Both speeches were listened to and loudly applauded by large audiences. Mr. White's talk at the Grand was as follows: Ladies and gentlemen, fellow-citizens, friends and neighbors: By virtue of the courtesy of the management of this theatre, and under and by the direction of Judge Thomas of your superior court, who is handling the minute-men, I come to you tonight to say just a few words that I believe each and every American citizen in this community should hear. I am not going to make a stereotyped speech this evening. Prof. Prince, at the Fairyland theatre, at the mother, the father, are all involved in the sacrifice—they directly bear the burden of defence. They suffer just as much as the soldier but in different way, and the nation must generously discharge as a proud privilege the duty of maintaining them until the soldiers and sailors return from the war and resume the responsibility. "We have drawn the sword to vindicate America's violated rights, to restore peace and justice, and to secure the progress of civilization. We cannot permit our soldiers, while they hold the front, to be stabbed in the back bp the uncertainty as to what is being done for their loved ones at home. Our tomorrows are in their hands—theirs in ours. The national conscience will not permit American soldiers and their dependents to go unprovided with everything that a just generous and noble people can do to compensate them for the sufferings and sacrifices they make to serve their country." PUBLIC RECEPTION FOR OUR SOLDIER BOYS Red Cross and Board of Trade to Entertain Them Monday Night A public reception and banquet is now being planned by the Anaheim board of trade and the Red Cross chapter for the men who are drafted and will go in the second contingent on October 3rd. The committees are busily engaged to complete arrangements to give the men a rousing reception on Monday evening, October 1st, at 7:30 p.m. at the library. Good speakers are being secured for the occasion and the music will be furnished by the Anaheim band. The farewell reception will allow the public in general an opportunity to attend and give the boys a cheering send off. After the reception at the library a banquet will be given in honor of the men at the Oyster Loaf cafe, where the ladies of the Red Cross will give each one of the men a comfort bag embroidered with their respective initials. All those who wish to attend this banquet should secure their tickets early, as only a limited number of people can be accommodated. For tickets apply to Harry Whitaker, secretary of the board of trade, phone Sunset 404-W. FOR GOVERNOR By virtue of the courtesy of the management of this theatre, and under and by the direction of Judge Thomas of your superior court, who is handling the minute-men, I come to you tonight to say just a few words that I believe each and every American citizen in this community should hear. I am not going to make a stereotyped speech this evening. Prof. Prince, at the Fairyland theatre, at this time, is making a talk which gives data, facts, figures and information that are quite important and that each person in this community ought to learn. It is a pleasure to me, at this time, to state that I expect to be a citizen of this community for the next several years; that in this beautiful little city, Anaheim, where the Germans landed (as I understand the name to mean in translation, the home of Anna) that I also have faith and confidence in the patriotism of the good German people. It has come to my ears just as a private American citizen, that there are organizations here and at Orange, that have for their object the dissemination of information that would be of benefit to the Imperial Government in Germany and against the interests of the government of the United States. I do not believe this, but if any one has any proof that such a condition exists, show it to me. However, I wish it distinctly understood that no greater heritage could go to my children, and I have four of them and a wife living on Placentia Road, on a little 10-acre ranch that I have purchased in this community, than to have it said that I had given even my life as a sacrifice for the cause of democracy, and for and in the interests of the government that our fathers went to the front for in 1861. We must remember, however, that this is a time, (while we are in a cruel and relentless world-war), and serious as it is, that many of these statements made by Germans are due to the fact of their early training, what their fathers and mothers have said to them, and for love of the Fatherland. Loyalty is one of the greatest words in the dictionary, and we cannot blame them for being loyal to the land of their birth, providing that they are first loyal to the land of their adoption. But we have come to the parting of the ways, and I say now and here ing home the ba goods, going over the bullseye even pot shot in Wiltion. The discovery in Mexico, when we link up Mexico with the United States, shocked the diplomatic and coined in the United States been a part of the upon and injured interests, and adding the penalty to them came the Sweden bad lent the transmission sages, and from Alires diplomats by the fear of where next.

Mr. and Mrs. Schulte are at Venice this week. The Enterprise Millinery announces its fall and winter millinery opening on Saturday, Oct. 6th. as it is, that many of these statements made by Germans are due to the fact of their early training, what their fathers and mothers have said to them, and for love of the Fatherland. Loyalty is one of the greatest words in the dictionary, and we cannot blame them for being loyal to the land of their birth, providing that they are first loyal to the land of their adoption. But we have come to the parting of the ways, and I say now and here that you are going to be classed as for or against the Government of the United States of America. Let it now be understood that you choose this day who you are for! I still believe and have confidence in the patriotism of the Germans in this community, and in this one of the best counties of this old Golden State, where thousands of Eastern people come to make at least a temporary home, and I shall so believe, until I am convinced to the contrary. However, there is no longer room in this or any other community of the United States of America, for any person that is not willing to be for the government in the land that feeds him, and if we cannot be patriots from heart, we must be patriots from compulsion. There is no middle ground! We must remember that some Germans believe that God Almighty touched the shoulder of the Kaiser and made him His anointed, and while we must in consideration and deliberation remember this, and that it is our duty to be patriotic enough and fair enough to think about this education before we condemn them, and that they had a perfect right to believe this (and act in accordance therewith under the Constitution of the United States) before our government said that a state of war existed, they have the same duty now as any other Amer- Anaheim Gazette OIL FIELD NOTES By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER A careful compilation of the output of the producing wells in the local oil fields reveals the fact that at the present time the field is making the greatest production ever made. Figures gathered from all the wells places the combined daily output at 51,400 bbls. This figure is the best made since the opening of the year when the January production was figured at 49,251 bbls. a day. This great increase in the production is largely attributed to the bringing in of two great wells by the Standard on the Murphy lease. Murphy No. 27 came in making 5000 bbls. a day and No. '2 went on the production at 10,000 a day. These two wells making 15,000 per day did much to bring up the new daily average. At the opening of the year the field showed 71 wells drilling, and 661 wells producing. The latest available figures show a remarkable increase in the number of wells drilling and the number of producers. The Orange county field now has 83 wells drilling and a total of 685 wells producing over 50,000 bbls. of good quality oil daily. With the price of oil gradually rising the outlook for the oil operators is a little better from the marketing standpoint. However the problem of getting the necessary materials for the drilling of wells is still somewhat of a difficulty, and the price of these materials is running almost to the prohibitory line. I venture to say that no business will show a greater increase in the face of so much discouragement as the oil business of this field. The operators have gone right ahead making the best of the situation. It would seem that the great concerns engaged in the development and production going very nicely at close to 1200 feet. This company has completed the work of placing the entire property of the company under the Edison system and henceforth will have all wells and buildings electric lighted. This manner of lighting will reduce the fire risk to a minimum. The Columbia Oil Producing company drilling in the Olinda field have two wells drilling. Both wells are making progress at better than 3000 feet. No. 30 a new location has the rig built, and rigging up work is almost completed, making this well the next to commence drilling as soon as either Nos. 28 or 29 are finished. The Standard Oil company drilling at Dominguez have made a new record for drilling with 6 inch drill pipe that as far as can be learned is a world's record. A string of drill pipe 3980 feet long of 6 inch pipe is the longest string that has ever held together and drilled a well successfully. The nearest approach to this record was made some time ago by the Petroleum company drilling a well 3800 feet with the rotary drill pipe of the 6 inch variety. The Standard experienced very little difficulty in running this long string of pipe considering the fact that the record was made in open hole. The 6 inch drill pipe is being removed and the 4 inch is being run in the hole to go on down with the well. In the making of the big record at this well the Bardeen Corporation come in for a share of the honors as a considerable amount of the drill pipe used had been annealed by the electrical process and stood up very satisfactory under the great strain. It seems as though the Standard Oil company is about to discontinue for a time at least further development of the Emery lease, as there is only one well being drilled on the property at the present time. No. 33 last The discovery of German intrigue in Mexico, when the effort was made to link up Mexico and Japan against the United States and ultimately put the flag of Nippon over California shocked the diplomatic world, but that was only a starter. The whole German diplomatic and consular establishment in the United States seems to have been a part of the machinery to spy upon and injure and ruin American interests, and a lot of them are paying the penalty for their deception. Then came the announcement that Sweden had lent her foreign office to the transmission of German code messages, and from Christiana to Buenos Aires diplomats have been quaking in the fear of where the blow would fall next. But among them all, no discovery announced savors more of the quality of German duplicity than the news within the week, where Washington published copies of the cablegrams sent by the former German ambassador to his government, asking for $50,000 to be applied where it would do the most good in affecting and corrupting American public sentiment. This latter is likely to lead to a congressional investigation, although we would hesitate to charge the veriest pacifists at Washington with having accepted any German money to vote against the war. But that Bernstorff expected to salve somebody's palm with German gold is evident from the character of his message. It would seem to us that these disclosures would shame even the pacifists of the LaFollette type.

Aloxander Henry has just received notice that the Imperial mine at Oatman, Arizona, of which he is part owner is beginning to ship ore that yields more than $79 to the ton. Mr. Henry owns 10,000 shares which he purchased for 10 cents per share. It is now worth 50 cents and promises to go so high that Uncle Alex expects to buy large blocks of Liberty bonds in the near future. G. F. Collins of Richfield was a business visitor in town Monday and attended the board of trade meeting in the evening. Mr. Collins is one of the candidates for trustees in the storm water district and favors the protection work as planned, and if elected will do all in his power to have the work done in a satisfactory manner. Mr. Collins says the river bed at Richfield is six feet higher than the point at the Santa Fe bridge, a short distance below. There is absolutely nothing to prevent flood waters from tearing through at this point and continuing on north of this city. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Adams entertained the O. M. B. club at their Broadway residence Saturday evening. There were present Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Sandilands, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Holcomb, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Dwyer, Mr. and Mrs. William McLauchlin of Long Beach, and Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Lewis of Santa Fe Springs. Five hundred was the pastime of the evening, Mr. and Mrs. McLauchlin winning the prize. As announced last week the Copa De Oro have commenced the work of drilling deeper on the Chino canyon test well and are underway at better than 2900 feet. The well was put on the beam some three months ago and a very exhaustive test was made. While the well showed no oil, yet the good gas pressure that was maintained throughout the test lent much encouragement and for this reason it is felt that a well will probably be developed before the operations are finished. Local men are anxious to see the Copa De Oro get a well here as it means the proving out of a vast acreage that will greatly increase the limit of the Brea field. The development operations of the Fullerton Oil company now includes the drilling of two wells. No. 10 has advanced to 3480 feet and is going very good. No. 11 is drilling and making hole at 3177 feet. No. 12 the famous test well is making 350 bbls of fluid and of this 65 per cent is oil. The West Coast Oil company drilling in the Olinda field is doing its share of the development of the eastern end of the field and has three wells drilling. The log of No. 63 shows 1912 feet of hole. No. 68 is drilling at close to 1100 feet and is making good progress. Drilling at No. 74 is taking advantage of the situation and putting all that can be spared on the market. Drilling operations on the Brea Canyon embraces the work on No. 14, drilling at 2600 feet, and No. 29 drilling at 2700 feet. The completion of the work of maving the rig at No. 30 to a new location gives the Brea Canyon a well to begin drilling on as soon as either 14 or 29 is finished. The formation of the Chapman well at Placentia continues unchanged, the conglomerate encountered at 227 feet is still present at a depth of over 1100 feet. This well is now known as the geological wonder of the Brea field. On account of the extremely hard formation the drilling has been very slow and the cost of the well is running up very high. The Union is continuing the development of the Graham Loftus lease with 5 strings of tools running. Drilling at No. 41 has advanced to better than 3000 feet. No. 42 has reached the 3000 mark. No. 43 is rotating at close to 500 and making rapid progress. No. 49 also on the rotary is going good at better than 1500 feet. No. 31 is rotating and has over 1200 feet of hole made. On the Hole lease operations have simmered down to the drilling of three wells. No. 8 is about to be completed and now stands at 3560 with cleaning out and drilling still underway. No. 15 is drilling at 3100 feet in the 8½ casing. No. 16 is making hole at better than 3000 feet. No. 17 stands cemented.

No. 2 has a fishing job that is causing a little delay. Drilling here has advanced to 2150. Rigs have been built for Nos. 3 and 4, and No. 5 is being rigged up. The Santa Fe Oil company drilling in the old Olinda field has five wells drilling and have made a road and a grade preparatory for the starting of a new well to be known as No. 82. No. 77 is about to be completed and is looking very good at 2721. No. 78 is in the sand at 2210. No. 79 is drilling at 1163. No. 80 now has 1673 feet of hole and is going good. At No. 81 the standard tools are at the 400 ft. mark. The Santa Fe are moving along as fast as the materials can be had and have certainly made a ver yexcellent record for the year thus far. BRAND STATEMENTS AS FALSEHOODS Water Company Favors Protection District, and Nails a Lie in Circulation Concerning it TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:— It has been called to our attention that parties opposed to the proposed Anaheim-Yorba Protection District are circulating the report that the ARMY OFFICER PASSING ON EXEMPTION CLAIMS Col. Fletcher Hearing Reasons Why Boys Should Not Go to War Col. Fletcher of San Diego, who has been hearing exemption claims at Santa Ana, passed upon a number of Anaheimers Tuesday. Some of the claims presented by conscripted men in the two districts were allowed, but a number of others the colonel rejected. Richard J. Seidlitz of Anaheim, R. D. 2 said he had $300 invested in equipment on a small ranch lease. He said he believed he could do more for the government as a farmer than as a soldier. "You had better get ready to go" said Fletcher. "You can have thirty days to get ready in. I'd like to exempt every farmer, but four members of our appeal board cannot see it that way, and unless President Wilson concludes to conscript for farming, the farms will have to furnish some of our soldiers." Charles Guise appeared in behalf of his son, William, Anaheim, R. D. He said his son helps on twenty eight acres.

It is true that these lands are not in the proposed Anaheim-Yorba District, but they are included in the Orangethorpe Protection District, to which this Company has agreed to donate a right of way through its property for a storm channel. This Company is now and always has been in favor of river protection and a large tract of the company's land, surrounding Pumping Plant No. 3, is included in the proposed Anaheim-Yorba district. In December, 1915, this company donated to the Anaheim Board of Trade $100 to be used toward the protection of the river near the railroad crossing above Olive, and in December, 1916, $300 was donated for the protection of the river in the Yorba-Richfield district. Outside of the above the company has never paid one cent to any person or committee representing any protection district, and we wish to brand as false any statements that this company has ever paid anything to have any of its property excluded from any protection district.

FOOD CONTROL AND CITRUS FRUITS The newly created United States Food Administration has one predominating function, namely, the conservation of food products, to the end that American may export to her allies in Europe more foods of the most concentrated nutritive value in the smallest shipping space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork, dairy days to get ready in. I'd like to exempt every farmer, but four members of our appeal board cannot see it that way, and unless President Wilson concludes to conscript for farming, the farms will have to furnish some of our soldiers." Charles Guise appeared in behalf of his son, William, Anaheim, R. D. He said his son helps on twenty eight acres. The father has rheumatism, and the mother is not strong, and the place has a $5,000 mortgage. His case is being considered. "Here is a case where a man has been thrifty and hard working, and has gotten a start," said Fletcher when he had questioned Arthur E. Hemmerling of Anaheim, who is raising potatoes and beans and who runs a bean thresher. "It certainly will work an individual hardship upon him. I tell you this job of mine is not a pleasant one. I suppose though that we must recognize that we cannot get an army without there being many personal sacrifices. I shall take your case under very careful consideration." Hemmerling said he had a $3500 mortgage on his property. Fletcher said that Congress would soon pass a law to prevent foreclosures upon property of a soldier. Walter Paulus of Anaheim, whose claim had been denied, came before Fletcher and said that some newspaper had said that he was one of five sons living on a family farm and had been denied exemption on that ground. Paulus merely wanted to have it understood that he was the only son who had made good on the farm, and he did not even know where two of his brothers are.

These foods are wheat, beef, pork, dairy products and sugar. The performance of this function involves increased production, efficient distribution, elimination of waste and the prevention of hoarding for speculative purposes. A representative of the California Lima Bean Growers association who was summoned to Washington for a conference with Herbert Hoover, brought back the following statement from the food administration as one indicating its attitude toward growers. "The food administration will encourage organization among producers in order that the products of the farm may be shipped in standard car lot quantities. Only in this way can an equitable distribution of farm crops be effected. Organization among producers is fundamental in intelligent, economical marketing.

The responsibility in taking this step is the farmers' responsibility. Unless he organizes to help himself, no one else can solve his problems for him, nor can the consumer problem be met unless farm crops are standardized and merchandised either by the producer or by the distributor in quantity."

At least, a misdemeanor charge has been brought against Kelvin. He is charged with battery upon City Marshal Kellenberger.
