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 CONSERVING MEAT Ten Million housewives have signed the pledge of the National Food Administration, promising to maintain one meatless day each week and one wheatless meal per day in order that we may have a larger surplus to ship to our soldiers at the front and our needy allies in Europe. The average number of persons to a family in the United States is a fraction under five, consequently these ten million women who have pledged themselves and their families to observe the suggestions of the food administrator represent one-half the population of the nation. It is an insignificant sacrifice to ask of the people. One pound of beef per week saved by an average family of five means less than half an ounce per day for each individual member, but it mounts into big figures in the aggregate. It means a saving of ten million pounds per week, or 520,000,000 pounds per year. As the average beef animal will dress 500 pounds this would mean 20,500 full grown beeves per week or 1,040,000 within a year conserved for export. People of America, it is well known consume too much meat. It would be better for the state of health of the nation if we had two meatless days per week rigidly enforced by law. If the people of the United States would and that it will make the laws as readily understood by the layman as by the technical or professional person using tehm. The manual specifically directs the attention of the various city and county officials to the fact that they are charged with the enforcement of the laws and urges them to see that the laws are consistently and effectively enforced. The director of the commission's housing bureau, Mark C. Cohn, will leave San Francisco next week on a survey tour of all the most important cities and towns in the state. Mr. Cohn will be glad to aid the local officials in any manner possible in the enforcement of the laws. He will also get first hand information as to what preparations the various cities and towns have made for the enforcement of the laws. The commission is empowered to enforce the housing laws anywhere in the state where the city or county officials fail, neglect or refuse to do so. STILL KNOCKING In his efforts to flounder out of the bog in which he found himself after handing a gratuitous insult to the Anaheim Elks because of their charity jubilee, Editor Ernest's feet are sinking deeper into the mire. In his issue of Monday he states that the Elks were influenced in bringing the Foley & Burk carnival here by a small terrier of men outside the lodge, men who are conducting an "outlawed" business, and who hoped to reap a profit for themselves out of the jubilee. Editor Ernest overlooks the fact that it is the time honored custom of the Elks to give entertainments each autumn for the purpose of raising a saving of ten million pounds per week, or 520,000,000 pounds per year. As the average beef animal will dress 500 pounds this would mean 20,000 full grown beeves per week or 1,040,000 within a year conserved for export. People of America, it is well known consume too much meat. It would be better for the state of health of the nation if we had two meatless days per week rigidly enforced by law. If the people of the United States would consume one ounce of beef less per day for each individual it would mean a saving of 2,281,259,000 pounds, or 4,562,000 head of cattle per year for shipment to our hungry allies who are linked with us in the struggle for the perpetuation of our liberties and the overthrow of the menace of imperialism The government is not asking us to eat less but to eat more food of a different kind, which would not only conserve exportable supplies but be beneficial to our health. Wheat, beef, pork, mutton, and fats are the greatest heeds of Europe. We can substitute corn and potatoes for wheat and poultry, fish and rabbits for meat without making a very great sacrifice. In conforming to the government's suggestion for a meatless day per week, citizens of Anaheim will find an excellent line of fish at local markets. The best lines of fish are on sale, and fish should be eaten at least once a week. PAPER YARN The employment of paper yarn in all directions in Germany has made enormous progress during the year. Cloths and fabrics made entirely of paper yarn are now widely used. The base of these is a simple one colored paper yarn used in exactly the same way as jute. Prisoner's camps are now supplied with mattresses and even pillows in which the covering is made of this fabric. In fact, paper weaving has made such strides that twills are now produced, and the time is not far distant when it will be possible to obtain excellent grades of worsted made of paper, and already the first patterns of such fabrics are being exhibited. Ready-made clothing in paper is at present confined for the most part to special workmen's clothing. Entire suits of this are exhibited, as well as aprons, overalls and office ing deeper into the mire. In his issue of Monday he states that the Elks were influenced in bringing the Foley & Burk carnival here by a small coterie of men outside the lodge, men who are conducting an "outlawed" business, and who hoped to reap a profit for themselves out of the jubilee. Editor Ernest overlooks the fact that it is the time honored custom of the Elks to give entertainments each autumn for the purpose of raising a charity fund for Christmas. The Foley & Burk people, we are told, first opened negotiations with the lodge of a neighboring town, but as that lodge, through other means, had already raised sufficient money for its charity enterprises, the carnival was offered to the baby lodge of Anaheim. The jubilee was not staged as a money maker for any branch of industry in Anaheim. The object was merely to raise a sum of money for the relief of the poor and needy at Christmas time. Which object was accomplished, but as the carnival company brought 125 people here who had to be fed for a week, as it was compelled to purchase feed for many horses, as the country store spent a large sum of money for groceries, and as numerous local people were employed, it appears that others besides the "outlaws" profited to a certain extent. Editor Ernest also makes the statement that buyers are finding it unpleasant to come to Anaheim and are going elsewhere to trade, that the town is full of empty storerooms and that there is no building in progress in the residential districts. People who go into the business districts on Saturday afternoon and Saturday night know the absurdity of that charge. The number of people who come to Anaheim to trade is steadily increasing instead of diminishing, and the business men of West Center street, between Los Angeles and Lemon are just now completing the job of cutting eight feet from the fronts of their buildings because the sidewalks had grown too narrow to accommodate the pedestrians. Every foot of curbing on the business streets is blocked by autos, parked as closely as it is possible to get them, and an overflow extends into the side streets. This does not indicate that the people are shunning Anaheim and going elsewhere to trade. One of Santa Ana's leading business men who was here last week spoke of good progress with the wells. No 14 has marked, and No 29 has marked with the drill very rapidly. The I has No 30 rigged up moment on this well and No 14 or 29 is compaired.

In fact, paper weaving has made such strides that twirls are now produced, and the time is not far distant when it will be possible to obtain excellent grades of worsted made of paper, and already the first patterns of such fabrics are being exhibited. Ready made clothing in paper is at present confined for the most part to special workmen's clothing. Entire suits of this are exhibited, as well as aprons, overalls and office coats. The price of paper fabrics varies between 25 cents and $1.00 a yard. Ready made workmen's aprons and overalls are sold at $6 a dozen. For entire suits the price is about $5. The paper clothing is not, however, entirely confined to workmen's clothing. A beginning has been made in supplying garments for women and children. For children there is a wide variety of paper garments available. For women, the offerings are thus far confined to underclothing. STATE HOUSING LAWS The State Housing Commission has just published a state housing manual, containing the Tenement house, Hotel and Dwelling house acts, which went into effect Sept. 1, 1917. Copies of the manual are being sent out to the mayors, building departments and health departments of the various cities and towns, and also to the boards of supervisors of all counties. In the manual the laws have been recompiled, indexed and annotated so as to simplify their use. There has also been incorporated in the manual a number of cuts explanatory of the laws, and reproductions of the legal forms required. It is the hope of the commission that the manual will make for a uniform observance of the housing laws One of Santa Ana's leading business men who was here last week spoke of the unprecedented crowd that congested the streets of that city when the circus exhibited there recently. "Way," he said, "the streets were so crowded it reminded me of Anaheim on Saturday night." That doesn't sound like people are shunning Anaheim. A former resident here, was in town Monday and made the statement that he always saw something new in the way of improvement. "Anaheim is building up more rapidly than any other town in Southern California," he said, "and the new structures are all beautiful and substantial." That doesn't look like the city is degenerating and the people are being driven away from it to trade elsewhere. The statement that there is not a single residence in course of construction in Anaheim is untrue. Besides there are few, if any vacant houses in town at the present time. No doubt the war has influenced business in Anaheim as it has throughout other sections of the country, and people are buying more cautiously, but neither the war nor any other condition, it appears, has influenced the people to avoid this city. Anaheim has the reputation of building more rapidly and substantially than any other town of equal size in California, and the dinkly little Plain Dealer's hammer, which is continually knocking the town, will do it no harm.

MUNGER The Amalgamated Oil company is pushing preparations for the commencement of drilling on the Durfee lease east of Montebello as fast as possible. The rig for the first well is almost completed and rigging up work will be well underway before the end of the week, and drilling will start the first of the week. It is the opinion of the writer that the Amalgamated will have to go about 2800 feet in order to get into the sand on the Durfee. At Brea the Amalgamated have made a successful shut off of the water on Hualde No. 2 at a depth of 3300 and are going ahead with the 6¼ inch pipe. Hualde No. 9 is drilling at 2150 on the rotary. On the Anaheim lease No. 56 is drilling at 2685 feet. On the Huntington lease near Los Angeles the Amalgamated is down close to 1900 feet. Drilling is going along very quietly and nothing of a startling nature has shown up yet. However nothing is expected short of the 3000 mark. The Brea Canyon Oil company drilling some of the most difficult property in the Brea field are making very good progress with the drilling of two wells. No. 14 has reached the 2990 mark, and No. 29 has passed the 3000 mark with the drilling going ahead very rapidly. The Brea Canyon Co. has No. 30 rigged up and will commence on this well as soon as either No. 14 or 29 is completed. The Columbia Oil Producing company drilling in the old Olinda field have made a very good showing during the past week. The company has Save Money on Tea and Coffee We carry eleven different brands of the best Japan and Ceylon Tea at 60c to 90c. Our Superior Quality Coffees are meeting with favor everywhere.

New work outlined at Whittler during the past week is the rigging up of No. 54 the digging of a cellar at No. 55 and 56. No. 57 is building rig and is the latest location to commence operations. The Standard is setting the neighboring operators a hard pace at Montebello. Since starting this property less than a year ago the company has completed three wells and has nine more underway. On the Baldwin tract No. 4 has been cemented at 2465. No. 5 is drilling at 1770 feet. No. 6 is also drilling and is down 2622 feet. Loca-need not be of a substantial nature. Many of the structures consist only of the four walls, as plenty of sunlight is desirable. A vault for keeping the finished films is desired which is considered the most expensive unit to be provided. The company employs from fifty to seventy five persons, many of whom would be local people. The benefit to be derived by the city would be through the advertising value of the venture. On all work sent out to the twenty six divisions, using the films, would appear the legend, "Made in Anaheim." This in itself it is said, would be worth much to this city. It is also maintained that much advertising of a legitimate nature would also be secured by having the company install itself within our midst. The gentlemen were interrogated by Fred Backs, Mr. Jackson, J. W. Whitaker and others as to the merits of their venture, and were told that the citizens of this city would do all in their power to further legitimate enterprises that would be a credit to the city. The visitors stated that their enterprise would stand the closest scrutiny and that in no event would they ask for obligations that they did not feel in duty bound to fulfill to the letter. President Backs of the board of trade has appointed a committee of three to confer with the representatives of the cinema company and investigate their proposition and report at the next meeting. STITT WILSON TALKING TO CROWDED HOUSES Famous Orator Hammering Kalserism With a Sledge Tonight's lecture will be the last given here by J. Stitt Willson, the 20th century poet of democracy The Columbia Oil Producing company drilling in the old Olinda field have made a very good showing during the past week. The company has three wells drilling and are about to complete two of them. No. 28 and 29 are both around the 3100 mark and it is a gamble as to which one will be finished up first. No. 30 is drilling at close to 500 feet. This well on account of a very hard formation is going rather slow. On the Orange lease No. 7 is drilling at 1680, and No. 8 is rigging up. The Fullerton Oil company operating on some very difficult property west of the Birch Hill are continuing work on two wells. No. 10, a well that has been drilled on for the past five years, is now going good at 3505 and is looking very encouraging. No well in the Brea field has given as many difficulties as this one but the management is not losing faith in the outcome of the well. No. 11 is drilling at 3237 and is going good. The West Coast Oil company drilling at Oinda have three wells well along in the course of drilling. No. 63 is the deepest well with 2175 feet of hole to its credit. No. 68 is drilling at 1785 feet and No. 74 at 1500 feet. The shops of the West Coast company closed last May are being dismantled and shipped to Bakersfield. The building and a portion of the equipment has been sold to the Bakersfield Iron works. The removal of the West Coast shop marks the passing of one of the oldest institutions in the Brea oil fields. The shops were erected nine years ago and up to a few months ago turned out a vast quantity of oil well tools and supplies each year for the operators in the Brea field. The company give as a reason for removing the shops that it is engaged in the development and production of oil and not in the manufacture of oil well tools. The Standard Oil company is making remarkable progress in the development of the oil resources of the lo- The Standard is setting the neighboring operators a hard pace at Montebello. Since starting this property less than a year ago the company has completed three wells and has nine more underway. On the Baldwin tract No. 4 has been cemented at 2465. No. 5 is drilling at 1770 feet. No. 6 is also drilling and is down 2622 feet. Location No. 7 is marked with a new rig. No. 8 is drilling at 1557. No. 9 stands cemented at 2125. No. 10 reported rigging only a week ago now has 1438 feet of hole. No. 11 is being rigged up for the rotary and 12 is marked with a new rig. On the Temple lease No. 2 is drilling at 2214 and No. 3 is drilling at better than 1900 feet. The Union Oinl company is busy as the getting of new materials and equipment on the ground will allow at Montebello. Drilling on the La Merced lease is going right ahead. Well No. 2 is being successfully redrilled at close to 2000 feet. No. 3 has 500 feet of rotary hole. No. 4 is being rigged up and will start drilling in a few days. No. 5 is in the brown shale and drilling at 2150 feet. No. 6 is the latest well located and a rig is being rushed to completion. The Union on their Myer well at Santa Fe springs are making very good progress. The depth of the hole is now 3452 feet. Drilling is being suspended a few days until some 6% casing can be cut out and removed. The condition of the hole is good and drilling will go right ahead. The Union's deep well No. 5 on the Bastanchury is of particular interest at the present time. This well was finished up at a depth of 4730 feet, and started off pumping water of 110 deg F. The well is showing considerable more oil as the pumping test continues and it is believed that a real oil well will show up as soon as the excess water is pumped off. Probably no well drilled by the Union in the Brea field has cost more money per foot than the Chapman well at Placentia. The conglomerate formation of an extremely hard nature struck at 227 feet still continues and at a depth of 1380 feet the best that can be made per day is about 8 feet. Drilling has been resumed on the well with a fish tail bit. The Union's Bixby well continues drilling at a depth of 3015 with no in- STITT WILSON TALKING TO CROWDED HOUSES Famous Orator Hammering Kaiserism With a Sedge Tonight's lecture will be the last given here by J. Stitt Willson, the 20th century apostle of democracy, and if you want to hear this eloquent man who is talking against autocracy and for humanity you must avail yourself of this opportunity. His subject tonight is "Democracy and Social Justice in the Bible." If you have heard him before you will want to hear him again. If you have not yet heard him you cannot afford to miss who were opposed to the issue. Mr Wilson declares he is fighting in the trenches against Kaiserism; and he does not intend to lay down his arms until the world is made safe for democracy. PROGRESSIVE DINNER PARTY A jolly party of high school girls consisting of Misses Maina Fisher, Johanna Jessurun, Helen Headstrom, Lucille Davis, Alla Ingram, Harriet Corwin and Edna Hochul entertained their classmates Rudolph Jacobson, Reginald White, Arnine Lensing, Barnard Hoyt, John Wilson, Harry Carter and Ted Kuchel at a progressive dinner party on Tuesday evening. The dinner began with soup at Miss Hedstrom's home followed by salad at Miss Ingram's. The meat course was served at Miss Corwin's and wound up with cream and coffee followed by a short dance at Miss Fisher's. ORANGE CITIZEN HAS A NARROW SQUEAK Night Prowler Fired Sawed-Off Shot Gun at His Head An unknown man Monday night fired point blank at John P. Hanson's head, at Orange. A sawed-off shotgun was used, and the end-of-the gun could not have been over a foot from Hanson's head. Hanson's face bears powder marks and cuts that came from metal shot off of a garage door. At the supper table, Hanson, who lives with his family at 724 East Walnut street, looked up and saw a The Standard Oil company is making remarkable progress in the development of the oil resources of the local field. The big company has 20 strings of tools running and every one of the eight leases being operated by the Standard is teeming with activity. Close to 500 men are at work and the results this large force is getting is amazing. No company has its forces better organized and working to a better advantage than the Standard. On the Emery lease two wells are drilling. No. 32 is down 3725 feet. No. 34 is drilling at 2500 feet. The Standard is drilling only two wells on this property and it begins to look as though the company considers the territory pretty well drilled out. New wells have been started on the Emery during the last four months. The Murphy lease is being operated with seven strings of tools drilling. Three wells are standing cemented and will be opened up in the course of a couple of weeks. Wells drilling are Nos. 23 at 2800, 29 at 4095, 31 at 3962, 34 at 3515 and 36 is drilling at 3975. No. 37 is at the 3775 mark, and No. 38 is drilling at 2146. No. 39 reported as a new rig last week now has over 600 feet of hole and is making a great drilling record. At Whittier the Standard has No. 49 standing cemented at 2306. No. 50 is drilling at 1830 feet with the 8½ casing going in. No. 51 is cemented and standing at 2100 feet. No. 52 is also cemented and stand at 2186. No. 53 is Probably no well drilled by the Union in the Brea field has cost more money per foot than the Chapman well at Placentia.

Drilling has been resumed on the well with a fish tail bit. The Union's Blixby well continues drilling at a depth of 3015 with no indication of anything like oil. The Standard now has over 4600 feet of hole at Dominguez and report not the slightest indication of oil. CINEMA COMPANY WANTS TO LOCATE IN ANAHEIM Board of Trade Committee Will Confer With Them for Purpose of Investigating the Proposition Representatives of the California Cinema company of Los Angeles held an informal meeting with members of the board of trade at the Mother Colony club Monday evening, with a view to establishing their company in this city. They have a contract to supply the General Film company with a series of two reel comedies and four reel dramas that will require eighteen months to complete. It is said that after the completion of this contract the company has been assured that any other work they turned out would also find ready sale. The company are looking for a location and have been favorably impressed with Anaheim. Ideal conditions for film production exist here. The representatives announced they would locate here provided they suitable site of two or three acres were furnished them free of charge, together with the necessary buildings, the later however An unknown man Monday night fired point blank at John P. Hanson's head, at Orange. A sawed-off shotgun was used and the end of the gun could not have been over a foot from Hanson's head. Hanson's face bears powder marks and cuts that came from metal shot off of a garage door. At the supper table, Hanson, who lives with his family at 724 East Walnut street, looked up and saw a stranger's face against his window. The man was peering in. Hanson jumped up and ran out the back door. He saw the man turn the corner into the garage. Hanson followed. In the garage it was quite dark. Hanson jumped up on his running board to turn on the lights of his automobile. Just at the click, by which Hanson thinks possibly his salliant thought Hanson was cocking a revolver, a shot was fired. Hanson remembers no more until his wife found him in a dazed condition in the yard when she came out upon hearing the shot. The shot struck a door close to where Hanson's head was, went through the door and upward into the edge of the roof. The distance between where the man stood according to the shot marks, and where Hanson's head was is so short that the officers think the stranger must have used a sawed off shotgun. Officers found a No. 16 guage shotgun wad. No tracks wee found.

They are "presently liable to military service," given "deferred classification," or "discharged," according to advance copies of the draft questionnaire received in San Francisco Tuesday. Men in the first class are subject to immediate call, those in the second, third and fourth classes have "deferred classification," and men in the fifth class are "discharged." Reports that the questionnaire is to be a searching one were fully confirmed by the copy received. "What is your income?" "What was the profit of your farm last year?" "Is your business solvent?" and "How much capital is invested in it?" are just samples of the questions asked. Copies of the new army draft regulations are off the press for a final reading preparatory to mailing to local exemption boards throughout the country next week. Under the new plan the burden of supplying information which will result in his being placed in his proper classification under the selective service law rests squarely upon the individual registrants. The questionnaire is the basis of the plan of the grouping of registrants in the five classes. The boards will be able to classify a man immediately when his questionnaire has been received. The system will greatly simplify examinations. WORK OF RED CROSS The American Red Cross has already disbursed nearly $41,000,000.

SUSPENDED SENTENCE Charged with stealing gas from the Southern Counties Gas company, by piping the fuel around the meter so that it was not registered, B. G. Schlosser of Anaheim was recently arrested and brought before Justice J. S. Howard. Schlosser pleaded guilty to the charge and was given a ninety day sentence. S. W. Todd, representing the Gas company, because of the peculiar circumstances in the case, asked that the commitment be withheld. Judge Howard suspended the sentence. Several similar cases have come to light recently in which offenders have stolen gas by piping the fuel around the meter. In order to put a stop to this business the Gas company has been forced to put on a special man whose duty ft is to make a round of certain consumers at unexpected hours. The Gas company plans to run down any such cases and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. There is a pronounced and increasing sentiment in favor of the incorporation of Placentia. It is quite generally conceded that a vote taken now would be almost unanimely favored. Monday night firJohn P.
