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 FREAKISH KANSAS Ever since Kansas was admitted to the Union that state has been regarded by the people of other states as the home of freaks, curiosities and objectionable features. It was the home of John Brown of Osawatomie, who sallied forta with a corporal's guard and started the civil war. It produced Mary Yellen Lease, who was a potent figure in national affairs once upon a time, it produced Carrie Nation—who, like George Washington, created history with her little hatchet. It also gave to the world Sockless Jerry Simpson and Whiskers Peffer. Kansas is noted for the festive cyclone that saunters across the state occasionally, picks up a man's house, himself and his family, and transfers them to another voting precinct. It is noted for hot winds in summer and blizzards in winter. It is noted for many objectionable features which we miss here in California, but Kansas is on the map of the United States, and we must hand her a bouquet when it comes to a matter of patriotism. When the quota for the conscription draft was figured up at Washington it was found that Kansas was required to furnish anly six thousand men because of the heavy volunteer enlistments. In the county of Montgomery in which the writer formerly lived, the quota assigned to is was 600, but the ASK RELIEF FOR THE STARVING ARMENIANS DR. McNAUGHTON MAKES STIRRING APPEAL AT BOARD OF TRADE LUNCHEON ON THURSDAY UNSPEAKABLE TURK IS GUILTY OF BLACKEST CRIME IN ALL HISTORY, HE DECLARES "The Blackest Crime in History," was the subject of an address given by Dr. J. P. McNaughton, of Los Angeles, secretary of the Armenian-Syrian relief committee at the board of trade luncheon Thursday. Dr. McNaughton has been among the Aremenian people, and he speaks of his own personal knowledge of the afrocities committed by the unspeakable Turk in that unhappy land. Four hundred years ago Armenia ceased to exist as an independent nation. One portion of it was taken by Persia, one portion by Russia and the balance by the Turks. It is in Turkish Armenia that the people have been persecuted because of their commercial ability and because they are Christians. Out of a population of three millions a few years ago, less than a million are now alive, the balance having been slaughtered or starved to death. All the males of mature age have disappeared, and most of the women are slaves to their Moslem conquerors. When the Russian army pushed south against the Turkish Empire, thousand of Armenians fled for their tic innovations and multifarious phases of life, stands without historian of the war cone examine that record sionate spirit than watched the grinding machinery from face of a tremendous from such daily agressions, surer of his persistence qualified to nature of energy by re-chronicleer of congress will render a fairer would have thought it ago. We say a few ww already there are no opinion is revising it what the most impeded used to describe as active" congress.

Two days the espionage bill measures that have become law before the embargo bill, the bill, food legislation many objectionable features which we miss here in California, but Kansas is on the map of the United States, and we must hand her a bouquet when it comes to a matter of patriotism. When the quota for the conscription draft was figured up at Washington it was found that Kansas was required to furnish anly six thousand men because of the heavy volunteer enlistments. In the county of Montgomery in which the writer formerly lived, the quota assigned to is was 600, but the registrations showed that 820 boys had already gone to the front, consequently there were no exemption boards needed, and a credit of 220 men against the next call, should there be one, was recorded. In the matter of financing the government, the people who could not go to war were just as patriotic as the boys who donned the uniform and went to the front. The city of Independence, the county capital, a town of 11,000 population, subscribed $1,125,000 to the Liberty Loan. If the balance of the United States had been as liberal the subscriptions would have totalled nearly twelve billion dollars. This same town subscribed $53,000 to the Red Cross. Kansas has also been called upon by Mr. Hooper, and is making preparations to obey the mandate to sow ten million acres of ground to wheat the coming year. This is almost as much as the next three highest states in the Union combined will grow. Let us forget the freaks of Kansas and doff our hats to her patriots. COWS OF VARIED BREEDS PROVE EXCELLENT PRODUCERS That no one dairy breed has a monopoly of good cows in California is being proved by the results of the state dairy cow competition, being conducted by the college of agriculture under the direction of Prof. F. W. Woll. The contest will show who has the best dairy cow in California—the cow that can produce the most butter fat in a period of ten months. The first sixteen cows to complete the test have now been reported on. They produced from 309 to 612 pounds of butter fat per head in ten months. Of the sixteen, four produced 497 pounds of butter fat or more, and of these four, one was a grade Jersey, another a grade Holstein, another a Guernsey, and the fourth an Ayrshire. The best of the 16 was an Ayshire, Willowmoor Vesta 4th, owned by E. B. McFarland of San Mateo. She people have been persecuted because of their commercial ability and because they are Christians. Out of a population of three millions a few years ago, less than a million are now alive, the balance having been slaughtered or starved to death. All the males of mature age have disappeared, and most of the women are slaves to their Moslem conquerors. When the Russian army pushed south against the Turkish Empire, thousand of Armenians fled for their lives into the Caucasus, says Dr. McNaughton. Here the refugees, mostly women and children were safe behind the lines of the Russian army, but a new danger—death from starvation and pestilence—lay awaiting them. During the past two winters thousands have died for lack of help. Those who remained behind in Turkey, Syrian and Greek Christians as well as Armenians, have fared even worse. But for the relief given by a few friendly Turks and American missionaries, they would have long since perished. Reports verified by American Consuls indicate that thousands of orphan children, the hope of civilization in Western Asia, are destitute. The care of 50,000 of them in the Russian Caucasus and 35,000 in Asia Minor have been undertaken by the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian relief and as fast as detailed information is received the care of more will be assumed. In the last two years the American committee has distributed to the suffering people of Western Asia three and one half million dollars. This has been sent to relief centers such as Constantinople, Tiflis, Beirut, Tabriz, Bagdad, Calro, Teheran and Jerusalem. Committees working from these centers have purchased food and clothing locally and have distributed it among the most needy. In districts in the Caucasus where the Russian peasants shared their fands with refugees a limited amount of seeds and tools were purchased. At no time has there been anywhere near as much money available as is necessary to give all those homeless women and children even one meal a day, or enough clothing to protect them properly, but some progress is being made. One American missionary writing from Alexandropol, Russia, states that his committee has carried relief to 92 villages. This was done during the winter months under great hardships.

Of the sixteen, four produced 497 pounds of butter fat or more, and of these four, one was a grade Jersey, another a grade Holstein, another a Guernsey, and the fourth an Ayrshire. The best of the 16 was an Ayshire Willowmoor Vesta 4th, owned by E. B. McFarland of San Mateo. She yielded 612.057 pounds of butter fat, but on account of being below the full age, won in the competition a credit of 661.22 pounds. A Guernsey, Imp. Cherry of the Effords 3rd, owned by the Hollow Hill farm at Redlands, yielded 614.841 pounds of butter fat and earned a credit of 645.583 pounds. A grade Holstein, No. 30, owned by the Napa State Hospital, yielded 485.073 pounds and earned a credit of 523.879 pounds. A grade Jersey, Edith, owned by J. M. Bomberger of Modesto, yielded 496.787 pounds. These records commenced at 64, 16, 49 and 7 days from freshening, respectively. The average production of all the cows in this competition for August, 1917, was 1038.1 pounds of milk and 44.893 pounds of butter fat. The 222 cows competing were 173 days in milk on the average. Their production of butterfat ran from 11.23 to 89.35. For the fourth time, a Humboldt county farmer won the Pacific Rural Press prize when Iver Iverson of Arcata scored an average production by five grade cows of 64.740 pounds of butter fat (at 134 days from freshening.) The McAllister and Sons prize for the highest production by a grade cow went to J. W. Coppini of Ferndale for a yield of 71.027 pounds (at 97 days from freshening). This is the third time this latter prize has been won by a Humboldt county farmer. At no time has there been anywhere near as much money available as is necessary to give all those homeless women and children even one meal a day, or enough clothing to protect them properly, but some progress is being made. One American missionary writing from Alexandropol, Russia, states that his committee has carried relief to 92 villages. This was done during the winter months under great hardships. Dr. McNaughton is raising a fund for Armenian-Syrian relief, and was asking his auditors to pledge themselves to pay 10 cents per day each. Ten cents per day will buy sufficient food to keep one person alive. He is not asking for money to buy luxuries, but only for sufficient to purchase the barest necessities. After luncheon he spoke to students at the high school, and in the evening he addressed an audience at Fremont school. Many Anaheim people have signed the cards pledging themselves to pay a monthly sum into the relief fund. A WAR CONGRESS If the house realizes its ambition to clear its docket and adjourn by the end of the month, a purpose in which the administration is reported heartily to concur, it will leave behind it a record of achievement for which it will be difficult to find a parallel in any other session of our congressional history. To speak of it as an epoch-making session is commonplace. Just one of its acts, the declaration of war against Germany, would make it that. What the record shows, however, is a mass of legislation, springing out of that momentous first step, which for bulk and comprehensiveness, for the great issues involved and the enormous figures dealt with, for its dras- had the country behold foolish and tedious against the presidency measures that can easily in the public mind count in the impartial view. In its attempt bill an omnibus for nausmeasures, and injection of the power which it was apparent was bound to fail, coerce of obstruction.

The historian of the war congress of 1917 will examine that record in a more dispassionate spirit than those who have watched the grinding of the legislative machinery from day to day in the face of a tremendous emergency. Free from such daily agitations and panics, surer of his perspective, and much more qualified to test the expenditure of energy by results, this future chronicler of congressional activity will render a fairer verdict than one would have thought likely a few weeks ago. We say a few weeks ago, because already there are signs that public opinion is revising its attitude towards what the most impatient ones were used to describe as a "misrepresentative" congress. A summary, not altogether complete, of the legislation enacted in the seven months that will have elapsed before adjournment of the house, bears directly on the charge that congress paltered and delayed while the nation's need cried out for action. On April 2 the president read his war message to congress, and on April 6 the joint resolution had been passed by both houses. On April 5 the war department's selective draft bill was introduced in both houses; it became law on May 18. Nearly a month before that, on April 24, the first bond bill, embodying the provisions for the first Liberty loan, became law. On May 12 the president signed the army appropriation bill. On May 14 the bill for increasing the naval and marine forces went to the president. By June 13 Congress had passed the war budget bill. Two days later it passed the espionage bill. Among other measures that have become law or will become law before adjournment are the embargo bill, the priority shipping bill, food legislation, shipping legislation, the new eleven billion dollar mobilization. It used to be a favorite taunt against the voluble congressmen that Germany was deriving aid and comfort from their activities. Germany's present state of mind with regard to our war efforts supplies a sufficient answer. OIL FIELD NOTES By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER The oil industry throut out the fields of Southern California is assuming stupendous proportions. Considering the stress of the times the development work now under way to secure as much petroleum as possible is a great credit to American activity and ability. At no time in the history of the industry in Orange county as well as in the outlaying districts were there as many men employed as at the present time. In the local field that is the territory that is embraced in Orange county there are 800 men engaged in the development and production of oil. The combined pay rolls of the operating companies aggregate better than a million a month. A million a month spent for labor means that the cost of supplies being used to carry-on the work will run close to two million dollars for the same period. The activity of the local field was enlivened considerably by the announcement of the fact that the Union Oil company has just closed negotiations for the leasing of lands in what is known as the La Puenta Rancho district. The new property added to the already large holdings of the Union comprises an acreage of 1762. The largest lease is for 1576 acres of land owned by the Stearn Realty company. The Union has secured all surface rights to this property and must No. 16 is down 3100 feet and is making good progress in the blue shale. At Naranjal the Union has three wells drilling and one well standing cemented. No. 6 is drilling at 3160. No. 7 is under reaming at 2700 feet. No. 8 is drilling in the blue shale at 2100 feet. No. 19 is standing cemented. In connection with the drilling of one well and the deepening of a former producing well the Olinda Land Co. has turned considerable of its attention to farming and has 200 acres under cultivation. Drilling on No. 18 is now at the 3100 mark. Drilling is going along nicely, no showing of any particular value has appeared. The re-drilling and deepening of No. 2 continues successfully. Announcement was made early in the week to the effect that the management of the Amelgamated Oil Co. had raised the pay of the employees in the local field 50 cents per day. However the raise did not extend to the drillers who are receiving $7.00 per day. The new schedule of wages places pumpers and roustabouts at $3.50, tool dressers $4.50 and teamsters and truck drivers were also increased. The Amelgamated is following the lead set by the Standard and Union and the increase in pay comes at a most needed time. The meeting of the high cost of living by the big oil companies in the local field by raising the wages has created a fine spirit of loyalty and cooperation among the employees. Drilling operations being carried on in the local field by the Amelgamated include the moving of a rig to a new location of No. 9 on the Hualde property. Drilling on Hualde 2 is at the 3224 mark. The well is looking good and will be completed in a few days. On the Anaheim Union Water lease the Amelgamated have No. 56 drilling at 2620 and are putting in the 10 inch Liberty loan, became law. On May 12 the president signed the army appropriation bill. On May 14 the bill for increasing the naval and marine forces went to the president. By June 13 congress had passed the war budget bill. Two days later it passed the espionage bill. Among other measures that have become law or will become law before adjournment are the embargo bill, the priority shipping bill, food legislation, shipping legislation, the new eleven billion dollar bond bill, the war revenue bill, and the soldiers' and sailors' insurance bill. It is true that in war time we cannot apply the speed standards of normal times. In peace every one of these measures might have furnished sufficient fuel for an entire session. We had a right to expect much greater expedition in time of emergency. Nevertheless, there is a middle point between legislative delay and the rushing through of vital measures without examination and without debate, even in time of war. The three measures on which congress spent much more time than in impatient country thought necessary are the war revenue bill, the espionage bill, and food legislation. In dealing with revenue congress will have given something like six months to legislation which in the British house of commons was enacted in a little more than half the time. Responsibility for this is not entirely with congress, however. Partly the delay was owing to the preliminary work in the treasury department, though there in turn we must take into account the ever shifting estimates made necessary by the expansion of our war program. We have been legislating for revenue for the first year of a war while England has had the experience of three years to go by. The long fight over the espionage bill does not count against congress at all, but against the administration, with its unwise insistence upon a censorship in which congress had the country behind it. It was the foolish and tedious guerrilla warfare against the president's food conservation measures that counted most heavily in the public mind, and will so count in the impartial historian's review. In its attempt to make the food bill an omnibus for all sorts of extra-nous measures, and especially in the injection of the prohibition issue, which it was apparent from the first was bound to fail, congress was guilty of obstruction. To be sure there is enlivened considerably by the announcement of the fact that the Union Oil company has just closed negotiations for the leasing of lands in what is known as the La Puenta Rancho district. The new property added to the already large holdings of the Union comprises an acreage of 1762. The largest lease is for 1576 acres of land owned by the Stearn Realty company. The Union has secured all surface rights to this property and must commence drilling within 6 months. A royalty of 12½% of the production was agreed upon. The second lease covers some 185 acres owned by Wm. Malcom and Francis Stanton. The Union is to pay 1-7th royalty for this property. These leases are to run for 20 years. The recently added property lies about three miles north of Walnut in the Pomona valley and is indicative of the fact that the Union Oil company as well as the Santa Fe Railroad has faith in the possibility of the Pomona valley or Puente district becoming a great oil field. The Union is making an attempt to keep pace with the tremendous activity now on the new Montebello oil field by staking off locations for four new wells. Besides the new work planned for, the Union has four wells drilling and success is crowning the work thus far in a very noticeable manner. Drilling at No. 1 has progressed to close to 2400 feet. No. 2 has been drilled to a depth of 2150. At No. 3 a rig is being rushed to completion as fast as possible. No. 5 is being rigged up and drilling will commence there in a few days. The engineering department of the Union is now busy working on plans and specifications for an up to date and fully equipped oil camp for the employees of the Montebello holdings. The buildings to be erected are office, warehouse, garage, stable and foreman's residence. Work on the camp construction is to commence at once. Drilling on the Union's Bastanchury No. 5 is getting to be deep business as the tools are running close to 5000 feet. The formation seems to be a sandy shale and continues to give promise of an oil well worth while. The Union is entitled to a well here as a lot of drilling has been done on the lease in the past and the results have not been very profitable. It is believed that No. 5 is the well that will make drilling at No. 5 an approach. Drilling operations being carried on in the local field by the Amalgamated include the moving of a rig to a new location of No. 9 on the Hualde property. Drilling on Hualde 2 is at the 3224 mark. The well is looking good and will be completed in a few days. On the Anaheim Union Water lease the Amalgamated have No. 56 drilling at 2520 and are putting in the 10 inch casing. Drilling on the Amelgamated's Huntington tract near Los Angeles has progressed to the 1300 foot mark. Nothing startling has been noticed on the well as yet. Drilling is going along very nicely and the 10 inch is going in. The Standard Oil company is perhaps making its greatest showing of development work at the present time. The big oil corporation has 24 strings of tools running, and is meeting with usual Standard success on all the properties. Contrary to an opinion given in these columns last week to the effect that the Standard was about thru drilling on the Emery lease, development work is to continue. The continuance is in shape of a new well started to be known as Emery No. 34, where a rig is about to be completed. Drilling on the Murphy lease by the Standard includes work on ten wells. No. 28 is temporarily held back by a fishing job at 3814. No. 29 is drilling at 3700 feet. No. 30 is down 3730. No. 31 is making hole at 3900. No. 33 is at the 3300 mark and going nicely. No. 34 is standing cemented. No. 35 is drilling at 3000 feet. No. 36 started early in the week has 600 feet of hole to its credit. No. 37 is drilling at 1400 feet. No. 38 has been located and at No. 39 a new rig is about completed. At Whittler the Standard has enough tools running to give place the appearance of a busy oil field. No. 49 has made 1900 feet, but a fishing job is holding up the work at present. No. 50 is standing cemented at 1800 feet. No. 51 is drilling at 1500 feet. No. 52 is down 1400 feet and making rapid headway. No. 53 is being rigged up for drilling. No. 54 is building a rig, and grades have been made for Nos. 56 and 57. Thus far the Standard has succeeded in getting the deepest hole down in Dominguez Carson tract and with a depth of close to 4100 the Standard well at Dominguez has nothing enclosed with local field by raising the wages has created a fine spirit of loyalty and cooperation among the employees. Drilling operations being carried on in the local field by the Amalgamated include the moving of a rig to a new location of No. 9 on the Hualde property. Drilling on Hualde 2 is at the 3224 mark.

THE had the country behind it. It was the foolish and tedious guerrilla warfare against the president's food conservation measures that counted most heavily in the public mind, and will so count, in the impartial historian's review. In its attempt to make the food bill an omnibus for all sorts of extra-nous measures, and especially in the injection of the prohibition issue, which it was apparent from the first was bound to fail, congress was guilty of obstruction. To be sure, there is the argument that little harm was done, inasmuch as Mr. Hoover went serenely about his business while congress pinned riders to the food bill and took them off again. That, however is a pleas in extenuation and not a defense. It is not necessary to insist that the proceedings of the last six and a half months in congress have been characterized by the highest wisdom and the deepest conscientiousness in order to refute the counter impression of a sluggish and uppatriotic congress which had to be shamed or prodded towards its duty. The simple fact is that whatever the country has thought necessary for the prosecution of the war it has obtained from congress. Whatever Mr. Wilson asked for—with the exception of the censor—he got, with some delay perhaps, but without detrimental to the country's mustering for the war. The angry ones who not long ago were accusing congress of refusing to back up our men now training for the trenches in France may be asked to specify in what respect the country has suffered. We have created an immense army, we have brought the navy to a strength in personnel exceeding that of Great Britain at the beginning of the war, we have given all the money demanded for men, gun, ships, airplanes and econom- Drilling on the Union's Bastanchury No. 5 is getting to be deep business as the tools are running close to 5000 feet. The formation seems to be a sandy shale and continues to give promise of an oil well worth while. The Union is entitled to a well here as a lot of drilling has been done on the lease in the past and the results have not been very profitable. It is believed that No. 5 is the well that will make good drilling at No. 6 is approaching 2400 feet and the rotary is making good headway. What is considered to be the longest strata of hard continuous conglomerate has been found at the Union's Chapman well near Placentia. The conglomerate formation was encountered at a depth of 227 feet. The present depth of the well is 1143 feet, and makes 916 feet of hard conglomerate formation that has been drilled thru without a break worthy of mention. This wide strata of conglomerate beats anything that the operators have ever had to cope with in the local field and it is believed that it is the deepest conglomerate strata encountered anywhere. Drilling is exceedingly slow. Two and three feet a day is as much as can be drilled. The well will be an expensive wild catter for the Union. The Union is continuing the development of the Graham Loftus property with the operation of five strings of tools, five wells are drilling and one well is standing cemented. Drilling at No. 41 is close to 4100. No. 41 is going nicely at 3050. No. 43 on the rotary has made 1500 feet. No. 49 is drilling at 1500. At No. 51 the rotary is at the 1250 mark. On the Hole lease the Union has three wells drilling. No. 8 is down 3684 feet and looking very good. No. 15 is drilling in the oil sand at 3150. Without a doubt the greatest oil activity of any place in the state of California is at Montebello today. No less than 11 oil companies are rushing drilling operations as fast as possible and every inch of land in the immediate vicinity of the Standard's proven Baldwin and Temple properties has been grabbed up. The Standard has Baldwin No. 3 drilling at 3300 feet with the outlook very promising. No. 4 is standing cemented at 2500 feet. No. 5 has 1800 feet of hole and is drilling. No. 6 is drilling at 2100 feet. At No. 7 a new rig has been built. No. 7 is rig building. Three additional locations have been made and will be known as Nos. 10, 11 and 12. The Union at Montebello has two wells drilling, a third well is being rigged up and a fourth is having the rig constructed. In addition to this work the Union has set stakes for four more wells, work on which will begin immediately. The Pan American Oil company is rigging up two wells preparatory to drilling.

The Petroleum Midway company has a well rigged up and are drilling. The Red Star Oil company have cemented their first well and will be ready to go ahead in a few days. The San Gabriel Oil company is putting in the 10 inch pipe and drilling at 1200 feet. The California Star Oil company will be under way and drilling in a few days. The Interstate Oil company is drilling well No. 1 and are down 500 feet. The Stocker well has been shot and it begins to look as though the difficult fishing trouble that has kept the well back will now be overcome. The McCray Brothers have two wells drilling and are getting along nicely. The Chino Canyon company has its initial well down to a depth of 1850 feet. From time to time strong colors have been noticed and a gas pressure that indicates a good well has lent encouragement for some little time. The West Coast Oil company, one of the big companies keeping up the development end of the oil game in the Olinda field has three wells drilling and has made a good showing during the past week. Drilling on No. 63 has advanced to 1920 feet. No. 58 is down 1225 feet and drilling is going good. At No. 74 the depth of the hole is 1250 feet, drilling is showing good daily averages. A visit to the Salt Lake R. R. station at Newmark convinces any one that the oil operators at Montebello are cleaning out commercial quantity is concerned. The Brea Canyon Oil company in addition to the drilling of two wells has a cleaning out crew working on a number of the old producing wells of the company and the redrilling and cleaning out work is having the desired effect upon the production. The production is being increased to a very unexpected figure. Drilling at No. 14 has advanced to 2670 feet. Conditions are good and the work is going right ahead. At No. 29 the tools are operating at the 2760 mark and the progress is such that the well will be completed at an early date. After one of the longest and perhaps the most exhaustive tests ever given a well the Copa De Oro Oil Co. have resumed the drilling and deepening of its Chino Canyon well. Drilling is now going along very nicely at 3400 feet. It is believed that the deepening of this hole 200 feet will have a great deal to do with the success of the venture. An oil well secured in the vicinity of the Copa De Oro would add a great acreage to the proven Brea oil field. FISH FOR POULTRY A larger and cheaper supply of food for poultry raisers is promised from investigations being conducted by a special body of expert chemists into the availability of fish and mollusks available along the California coast, according to a report by by the committee on scientific research of the greatest oil acclimate the state of Calif today.

Drilling on No. 63 has advanced to 1920 feet. No. 58 is down 1225 feet and drilling is going good. At No. 74 the depth of the hole is 1250 feet, drilling is showing good daily averages. A visit to the Salt Lake R. R. station at Newmark convinces any one that the oil operators at Montebello are planning on a great deal of development work. Huge casing racks and ware house space in the open is being laid out and already a large amount of casing and drill pipe have been unloaded there. The Santa Fe Oil company drilling at Olinda have 5 wells drilling and this week's report shows that very satisfactory progress has been made on all the drilling wells. No. 77 is drilling in the oil sand at 2780 and is about completed. No. 78 is 2231 feet deep. No. 79 is drilling at 1160 and going good. No. 80 is drilling in shale at 1800 feet. No. 81, the last well to be started drilling has now 700 feet of hole and the progress is excellent. No. 82 the next location has been graded preparatory to the construction of the rig. Officials of the General Petroleum Oil company whose well on the Carson tract met with hard luck have as yet not decided what to do with the project. An endless fishing job was struck at a depth of 1600 feet and it is said that conditions are of such a difficult nature that it would be better to start a new hole. The General company has no inducements to go on as neither the Standard, Union or Highland companies have found anything worth mentioning, and one of these wells has passed the 4000 mark. FISH FOR POULTRY A larger and cheaper supply of food for poultry raisers is promised from investigations being conducted by a special body of expert chemists into the availability of fish and mollusks available along the California coast, according to a report by the committee on scientific research of the state council of defense. Dr. John C. Merriam is chairman of the committee. The economical experts are studying the utilization of enormous quantities of unused or little used sea fish and mollusks common to our shores. The study includes the ascertainment of the nature and the location of the supply and methods for securing and preserving the products. Among the problems being worked out is the ascertainment of where tuna fish are most available on the southern coast and the conditions which govern the movements of large schools of tuna. By utilization of the numerous quantities of unused sea fish and mollusks which are available, it is hoped to supply poultrymen with several different varieties of chicken feed at a price which is practically one fifth of the present cost of grain. OFFERS $100 REWARD R. L. Draper has authorized Sheriff Jackson to offer $100 reward-for the location and arrest of the men who are guilty of stealing thirty sacks of lima beans from Draper's barn at Wintersberg last Sunday night or early Monday morning. No trace of the thief or thieves has been found yet.
