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 SAVE FOOD AND WIN THE WAR Two cupful of wheat flour saved each week by every family in the United States will provide enough wheat for our allies. One spoonful of butter, and one spoonful of sugar, saved each day by every family in the United States will provide enough of the commodities for our allies. So said Mrs. Jessica Hazzard, home demonstration agent for the United States government at a splendid lecture delivered at the Methodist church on Thursday afternoon. An appreciative audience of ladies listened to Mrs. Hazzard, and she will probably be invited to come to this city again, when more of our citizens may have the privilege of listening to what she has to say. These conservations of food seem insignificant when taken individually, but in the aggregate they mount to such huge quantities that they are sufficient to furnish these foodstuffs to our allies. Our people can and will do as Mrs. Hazzard suggests. Rather let us go hungry ourselves than that a single one of our allies shall suffer from inability to obtain these foodstuffs. In another column will be found an adequate report of Mrs. Hazzard's lecture. We commend this article to the careful persual of our readers. Save food and win the war. OIL FIELD NOTES By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER Oil operations in the Orange county fields are starting off exceedingly strong as the new year progresses, and from the present outlook it begins to appear that the big record made last year will not only be duplicated but will be surpassed to a great extent. There is more outside development work being carried on by the old established companies in this field at this time than ever before. A number of the largest operators while continuing very strong with the development of their own local properties have work under way at Pomona, Bixby, Montebello, Valley Vley and Huntington. The year is starting off in proportions that will stamp it as the greatest year in the development of the oil industry in Southern California. Amalgamated Going Down at Huntington. The Amalgamated Oil Co. drilling a test well at Huntington near Los Angeles are getting the well down to a depth where it is attracting some attention. The depth is now 2576 feet. The formation is blue shale and the drilling is going ahead nicely. It is believed that the well will not have to be drilled deeper than 2900. At Durfee west of Montebello the Amalgamated has its initial well down 300 feet. According to an established principle of the company this first well on the tract is being drilled with standard tools in order that a very accurate log may be kept of the formation. At Brea the Amalgamated is building a rig for a new well on the Anaheim lease to be known as No. 42. On the Hualde lease No. 2 is being delayed somewhat with a side tracking job. No. 5 is rigging up and will start drillin has seven wells cemented and placed four new wells. 4230, No. 31 at No. 35 at 3377 Wells now standin 37 and 38.

Exports of firearms in September, 1917, amounted to $9,494,184 against $9,259,253 in September, 1916. Total value of explosives was $37,548,675 in September of the current year and $75,525,109 in September, last year. Complete details for September, 1917 and 1916 are furnished in the following table: | Year | Amalgamated | | :--- | :--- | | 1917 | $9,494,184 | | 1916 | $9,259,253 | | Cartridges | 318,980 | | Dynamite | 33,391 | | Gunpowder | 21,821,090 | | Fuses | 3,941,258 | | Shells | 7,057,471 | | All other | 4,286,482 | Total ...$46,952,859 $84,784,362 Total nine months' exports of these classes were $607,540,529 against $561,099,154 in 1916, for the corresponding period an increase of $46,441-375. The large total of $1,573,331,365 was made up by fractional classes; Firearms, $140,763,708; cartridges, $126,825,304; gunpowder, $584,675,679; and all other explosives $684,750,829. Cartridges reached their maximum in June of this year. Exports for September of all other explosives show a considerable decline, when compared with the $45,597,514 total for March, 1917, which was the highest point ever reached since the beginning of war exports. On the other hand, shipments of firearms, since the first of January of this year, are beginning to reach large proportions, showing that the difficulties which American contractors experienced in filling rifle orders have been overcome. At Durée west of Montébello the Amalgamated has its initial well down 300 feet. According to an established principle of the company this first well on the tract is being drilled with standard tools in order that a very accurate log may be kept of the formation. At Brea the Amalgamated is building a rig for a new well on the Anaheim lease to be known as No. 42. On the Hualde lease No. 2 is being delayed somewhat with a side tracking job. No. 5 is rigging up and will start drilling this week. No. 9 has arrived in the oil sand at 2681 and is drilling and shows up in a very promising manner. New Sand at Birch Hill Continues. Last week the discovery of a new oil sand by the Birch Oil Co. was reported and much to the surprise of the Birch officials this sand is continuing, the tools have passed thru 106 feet. The new sand was found at a depth of 2584 feet and attracted considerable attention in that this sand has never been noticed in the Birch Hill territory before. The sand will be tested out and according to a late report from the well. No. 14 in which the sand was located something good is expected. Brea Canyon Finishing Two Wells. The Brea Canyon Oil Co. is having excellent success with the drilling of Nos. 14 and 29. The wells are running along together in depth and will both be completed at the same time. No. 14 is drilling at 3379 and No. 29 at 3390. Both wells are looking good. Fullerton Co. Plans Two New Wells. The Fullerton Oil Co. drilling on what is considered some of the most difficult territory in the Brea field have two wells drilling, and have outlined plans for the drilling of two more. No. 10 is down 3575 and making good headway. No. 11 has 3140 feet of hole and is going nicely. At No. 13 a new rig is up and the grading for No. 14 has been completed. Fullerton Great West Shutting Off Water. The Fullerton Great West Oil Co. operating in the east end of the Brea field where the water conditions have been a serious menace-to operators for the past year have succeeded in getting their property up into good condition. Well No. 1 is now producing. No. 2 has been cleaned out, and No. 3 will be straightened out next. Federman Co. Sells Equipment.

Invitation is extended to all other business men, but those dealing in foodstuffs are especially requested to be present, as his talk is mainly to them. The regular meeting of the executive board of president's council Southern District C.F.W.C., will be held at the Christian church Fullerton on Saturday, January 12, at 10:30 a.m. It will be an all day meeting. Luncheon will be served at 12:30 and persons desiring lunch should notify Mrs. K.W.Newell, R.D.2, Fullerton. Miss Lois Dyer, who spent the holidays with her friends here, has returned to Berkeley. She is a student in the state university. The Fullerton Great West Oil Co. operating in the east end of the Brea field where the water conditions have been a serious menace—to operators for the past year have succeeded in getting their property up into good condition. Well No.1 is now producing, No.2 has been cleaned out, and No.3 will be straightened out next. Federman Co. Sells Equipment. The Federman Oil Co. has about completed the work of abandoning the property east of Brea and have disposed of all drilling supplies and equipment to the Inter State Co., at Montebello. On account of difficulties encountered in drilling and water troubles after the wells were completed made the property a failure for the company. General to Start at Montebello. The General Petroleum Oil Co. has a well rigged up and will start drilling at Montebello this week. This company has secured a tract of 1000 acres and it is understood a large part of it is good looking property. The well at Montebello is the only drilling work the General Co. has in the Southern field. Standard at Montebello. The Standard Oil Co with 28 strings of tools and 800 men at work is leading the developers of the Southern field and is getting excellent results from the operations underway on seven elases. On the Emery lease the Standard is putting Emery No.32 on the pump and will have an established producer in a few days. The well while not expected to be a gusher will be a good one. No 34 on the same lease is drilling at 3445. Seven Wells Drilling on Murphy. The Standard is rushing development work on the Murphy lease, and ANAHEIM GAZETTE UNCLE JOHN" MAPLE SYRUP These cool mornings a few hot cakes with Maple Syrup make good eating. Try them out.

As about ning the dis- view of the San Diego Consolidated Oil Co. is making preparations to abandon the first well the company drilled in the Brea field. The company's property is located in the east end of the field and the well has ceased to be a producer of value. The E. A. Clampitt Co. of Los Angeles have secured the contract for removing the 6¼, 8¼ and 10 inch casing, and will commence work immediately. The abandoning of No. 1 leaves the company five producing wells. Union's Bixby Well Looks Good. The Union Oil Co. may surprise the operators of the Southern field by getting an oil well at Bixby. The depth of the well is now better than 3300 feet, and at this depth the formation and showing of gas and colorings of oil are of such a nature that the company cannot help but maintain a little hope of getting something at Bixby. James Kammerdiner formerly with the Associated and a man of 20 years oil experience is in charge of the well and he is rather optimistic over the outlook. Chapman Well Still Hard. What is believed to be the widest stratum of hard conglomerate formation ever encountered in the drilling of an oil well is located at Placentia. The Union drilling on the Chapman ranch encountered conglomerate at a depth of 227 feet. The depth of the well is now 1650 feet and the conglomerate with the exception of a few small changes has continued almost unbroken. Union Gets Two Wells on Hole Lease. The Union have completed two wells on the Hole property, Nos. 15 and 16. The wells are making 250 bbls each and will undoubtedly hold up at this figure. The completing of these two wells closes the drilling work on the lease as far as new wells are concerned. At the present time. As the Union owns this property and has other leased property that is demanding more immediate attention it is not probable that much new work will be started on the Hole lease in the near future. Union Gets 500 Bbl. at Montebello. The Union's No. 5 at Montebello is flowing better than 600 bbls. thru 6-inch casing and is making such a strong showing that a 1000 bbl. well is predicted when completed. The well is 2650 feet deep. The Union has two other wells drilling on the La Merced lease and one well cemented. Pushing Work at Naranjal. The Union is showing unusual in- the old Ollinda field are showing a great deal of activity at the present time. The company has seven wells drilling and is making some good records on all the wells. Drilling at No. 78 is now at the 2584 mark and in the oil sand. No. 79 is shut down temporarily with 1500 feet of hole. At No. 81 the tools are operating at 2288, the formation being sandy shale. At No. 82 the well shows 954 feet. Well No. 83 has a completed rig and is rigged up ready to commence drilling. A notable fact in connection with the Santa Fe's development work has come to light in the drilling of well No. 80. This well was drilled with standard tools in very difficult territory to a depth of 2964 feet in less than six months. Heretofore the wells have required a year and a half to drill. UNUATURALIZED GERMANS MUST ALL REGISTER Government Proposes to Keep Tab on All Over 14 Years of Age Every unnaturalized German over 14 years of age must be registered with postmasters during the week of February 4., excepting in cities of over 5000, when the chief of police must do the registering. The order coming from President Wilson, affects every unnaturalized German in the United States and a number in this county will be affected by the order. The registration for the draft last June showed very few native born Germans of draft age in this county. This registration, however, is for all German citizens. The order requires every German citizen to make out four affidavits, setting forth his age, residence, business, friends, habits and many other important subjects. All of these affidavits must be signed and each registrant must provide four photographs of himself. These photographs must not be larger than three inches square, printed on thin paper with a white background. One photo must be attached to each affidavit and one will be attached to the identification card to be given the German. After once being registered the German may not move from his place of residence without the approval of the postmaster, who will record the new residence. The finger prints of each man will be taken by the police and kept as a part of the identification. In cities of more than 5000 the chief of police will be required to register the Germans. BIRCH LOSES CASE A. Otis Bich, of the Birch Oil Company has lost his case against Orange County, the board of supervisors and County Assessor James Sleeper for the recovery of taxes paid under protest. Judge Thomas, who heard the case granted the motion for non-suit made by District Attorney L. A. West who represented the defendants in the action brought by Birch. Judge Thomas filed with County Clerk Edwards his decision in the case which has attracted more attention than any case ever heard in the Orange county courts. The motion for non-suit was made by West after the plaintiff had failed to show fraud on the part of Sleeper in making the assessment and on the part of the board of supervisors acting as a board of equalization in refusing to reduce the assessment. NO MONEY AVAILABLE FOR REBUILDING FRANCE R. L. Bisby Tells Why He Refuses to Act as Hearst Committeeman Efforts of William Randolph Hearst to raise funds in America for rebuilding portions of France desolated by the Kaiser's guns, are not meeting with generous response. Many letters have been received by representative citizens in this county asking their cooperation. Supt. of Schools R. P. Mitchell was solicited to act as general committeeman to further the work, but declined the honor. R. L. Bisby of Santa Ana received one of the letters, and his answer to the proposal probably voices the sentiment of all, or practically all, to whom they were sent. He writes: Mr. Lucien N. Brunswig, President Southern California Robuilders for France, Los Angeles, California.

Honn of Los Angeles are conducting a great evangelistic campaign at the first Christian church, Center and Helena streets, and splendid audiences are attending and already many conversions have resulted. Twenty-nine persons have united with the church the past week and the meetings go forward nightly with great enthusiasm. Mr. Honn knows how to get a congregation to sing and his solos are full of pathos and power. Evangelist Abberley is preaching great messages on great gospel themes that stir the hearers to godly lives. Almost nightly Pastor Swindle is going into the baptismal waters with converts who have confessed faith in Christ. The services continue over the coming Sunday, and Dr. Abberley's subjects will be as follows: Thursday—"The Ideal Woman." Friday—"The Divinity of Jesus." Sunday morning—"The Saviour's Prayer." Sunday night—"Christian Union and the World Crisis." A large chorus is leading the singing and each meeting is full of vigor and victory. Delegations are attending from other towns such as Orange, Brea, Fullerton, and add interest and enthusiasm to the revival.
