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 HENRY CLEWS, OPTIMIST The Henry Clews & Company (New York Bankers) weekly letter to the press, under date of January 5, says: The year opens with an extraordinarily conflicting outlook. For those who really enjoy living on the shady side of the street, there is plenty of company. The pessimist can readily dwell upon anarchy in Russia; upon Germany's momentary military successes; upon the terrible cost of war; upon the economic and political upheaval, and upon numerous other depressing factors. And yet every healthy minded, thoughtful American refuses to be downhearted. On the contrary, he is more confident than ever in an allied victory. He believes that the enemy is nearing the end of his power; that he is unable to hold his winnings, and is marching to inevitable collapse when our armies reach France. Germany is gradually breaking down financially, economically and politically. She is threatened with revolution, and only the cohesion of her military machine, which is fighting for its very life, holds the fabric together. How long the autocrats may hold out cannot be foretold; but it is certain that dissensions within, coupled with opposition of the whole civilized world without, will have but one end and that is ignominious defeat. Blinded by empty vigorous queen of any one of them is all right, the golden probably being the gentlest and the queens easiest to find on account of their light color, but for energetic bees and returns the leather colored are ahead. It is usually best for the beginner to purchase a few colonies of a neighbor or nearby keeper, and avoid moving them any great distance. If they are not just the kind desired, one can soon change their complexion by introducing Italian queens of the desired strain. If none are to be obtained in the neighborhood, they can be purchased of any reliable breeder advertising in the bee journals. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. Malcolm C.

BAN ROYAL QUEEN Because the United States is fighting to make the world safe for de- reach France. Germany is gradually breaking down financially, economically and politically. She is threatened with revolution, and only the cohesion of her military machine, which is fighting for its very life, holds the fabric together. How long the autocrats may hold out cannot be foretold; but it is certain that dissensions within, coupled with opposition of the whole civilized world without, will have but one end and that is ignomous defeat. Blinded by empty victories and false leadership, Germany seems utterly unable to read the handwriting on the wall. Civilization outside of Germany, however, recognizes that it cannot live, if Germany's ideals and purposes prevail. The war may continue for weeks, or months. Nevertheless, the real foundation for hope o n the allies' side has never been so clear and strong as today. At present the brunt of the struggle falls on Britain and France. Both are enduring the strain infinitely better than ever anticipated; and both show an unconquerable spirit and a steady rising of morale, while that of the enemy is declining. Both of these countries are bearing the strain with surprising ability, and there is no doubt that they will be able to hold on until American soldiers reach France in sufficient force to overwhelm the foe. Perhaps this will happen in the coming spring; and, if fate should postpone the grand decision, prostration of the enemy will be far greater than if wise counsels induced an earlier yielding to the inevitable. Back of these considerations, which are sound reasons for hope, is the belief growing daily that the world is surely facing a new and better era than the one now so rapidly passing away. THE INDUSTRIAL BEE Honey bees are necessary for the proper pollination of nearly all fruits and berries, some vegetables, and alfalfa and clover where grown for seed. For this purpose at least one colony of bees should be kept for every five acres of fruits, or for a smaller area of berries and vegetables. They will increase the crop in the case of some varieties from ten to 100 per cent, producing more perfect, therefore more salable fruit. A few colonies of bees require less care than a cow or a dozen hens, and will produce annually from 40 to 100 pounds of surplus honey, which may be used as Rev. C. B. Hatch of Los Angeles.

BAN ROYAL QUEEN Because the United States is fighting to make the world safe for democracy, there will be no royal queen or royal court atmosphere at the national orange show to be held at San Bernardino February 20 to 28, it was decided by Ralph E. Swing, chairman of the queen committee, and in place of the queen will rule the "spirit of democracy," who will preside with a group of the fairest daughters of the citrus cities of California, representing America's allies in the world war. Mrs. Pearl Nelson, popular Lindsay, Tulare county, society woman, who won the battle of ballots which decided who will preside at the exposition will be the "spirit of democracy." The committee will at once begin the selection of beautiful girls of California orange growing cities who will be gowned in the colors and flags of the allies which are fighting for the cause of democracy. There will be no popular elections to select the young women who will represent the allies, for they will be selected by a committee charged with the duty of naming the most beautiful and talented daughters of the state. Names of the cities which will be invited to furnish the girls representing the allies have not yet been decided upon. As far as possible they will be descendants of the nationalities in the war on the side of democracy. Japan will be represented by the daughter of some leading Southern California Japanese merchant, and so will China. The girls to represent England, France, Italy and the other allies will be more easy to assign. THROTTLING THE SUBMARINE Announcement was made this week that the toll of British ships taken by German submarines had reached 1000. Yet in spite of these figures, the showing is against the under sea boats. Not only have they entirely failed to starve Britain, which was the original purpose of the ruthless campaign launched in February, but the average number of their successful attacks is gradually but surely being cut down in a very short time.

They will increase the crop in the case of some varieties from ten to 100 per cent, producing more perfect, therefore more salable fruit. A few colonies of bees require less care than a cow or a dozen hens, and will produce annually from 40 to 100 pounds of surplus honey, which may be used as food, sold for cash or traded for other food. There are four races of bees which are being successfully cultivated by beekeepers. Opinions differ as to the value of each. The principal characteristics of these races are as follows: The native blacks (probably derived from the German black bees) are generally energetic, good honey gatherers and cap their comb white, they are easily irritated and therefore hard to handle; they also readily succumb to bee diseases, the wax moth, or other enemies. The Carniolans are gentle and good workers, but have a tendency to swarm; they cap the comb white and gather very little propolis or bee glue, which is a valuable trait in the production of comb honey; they are more resistant to diseases than the blacks. The Causasians are the gentlest of all the races, btu swarm excessively in most cases where tried; their most disagreeable trait is that the stick the sections and frames up with propolis the worst of all races. The Italian bees are generally very gentle, pleasant to handle, and good honey gatherers, their habit of placing the capping down close to the honey, making them more adapted to the production of extracted than of comb honey, although in a good flow of nec- THROTTLING THE SUBMARINE Announcement was made this week that the toll of British ships taken by German submarines had reached 1000. Yet in spite of these figures, the showing is against the under sea boats. Not only have they entirely failed to starve Britain, which was the original purpose of the ruthless campaign launched in February, but the average number of their successful attacks is gradually but surely being cut down by the patrol established by the allied navies, whose destroyers leave small hope for the escape of a submarine, once it is discovered by them. During the first three months of submarine activity, they sank an average of 21 big British ships, that is, ships of over 1600 tons. During the next three months this average was reduced to 18 ships a week. The third quarter it was cut to less than 12 ships a week, a reduction of almost 50 per cent. During the succeeding weeks of the fourth quarter of the year, ending next month, the average has slightly risen, being above 14, and last week the U-boats got 18 big ships indicating either unusual daring on the part of the U-boat commanders, or possibly a relaxation of the strict patrol, because so many American transports must be convoyed. To date, not one of these has been lost on the eastward trip, when laden with precious freight in the shape of from 3000 to 5000 American soldiers. To sink 1000 big merchant ships is an awful toll of shipping, yet it has not availed victory for Germany, while making her an outlaw among civilized nations. It is reported that Hans Storm, who is a soldier at Camp Kearny, is suffering from an attack of pneumonia. OIL FIELD NOTES By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER New Oil Co. at Brea Of special interest to oil men of the Brea field is the organization of a home company to be known as the H. L. Delaney Oil Co. The company has been capitalized at $100,000 and $25,000 worth of stock has been sold. The company is backed by a number of the leading oil and business men of Brea and is starting off under very successful circumstances. The founder H. L. Delaney has been in the oil business for the past 22 years and is regarded as an operator whose judgment is good. A year ago while drilling on the Temple lease of the Standard Mr. Delaney noticed some very good looking property lying east and south of the Standard's lease and concluded to lease the land. Being a workman with limited capital he secured a lease on 20 acres of property that now has producing wells within 2500 feet of the property line. The incorporation papers of the new company will be in the hands of the state commissioner in a few days, and as soon as the legal matters are given proper attention immediate development work will start. The property leased by the Delaney company lies in a very promising part of the field and is pronounced by men who know to be territory of great possibilities. Mr. Delaney will drill the first well himself and give the future development work his constant attention. Amalgamated Hits Hard Stuff. The Amalgamated Oil Co. drilling on its Durfee property east of Montebello struck boulders and a very hard formation after leaving the 300 foot level, and consequently the drilling has been a little slow during the past one, and allows wells that would otherwise be standing idle to be bringing in some revenue. On the Murphy the Standard has four wells drilling. No. 26 at 4230, No. 33 at 3636, No. 36 at 3319 and No. 39 at 3215. On the same property the company has four wells standing cemented. No. 40 is rigging up for rotary. No. 41 is building rig, and drilling has commenced on No. 42 with a 150 feet of hole. A grade has been made for No. 43. Standard Very Busy at Whittler The Standard continues to show continued activity at Whittler and is doing development work with seven wells drilling. Three wells, No. 49, 51 and 52 have been put on the beam in the upper sand and will be pumped until pipe can be secured for the completion of the wells. Drilling at No. 53 is going ahead at 1850, No. 54 at 1009, No. 55 at 641, No. 56 at 315 and a 100 feet has been made at No. 57 the last well to be started. Standard at Montebello To the Standard is given the honor and credit of opening up the most famous oil field in the Southern part of the state, the Montebello oil field. The wonderful success that attended the Standard's initial efforts are continuing, and the company is about to complete a well on the Temple lease known as No. 3 that may rival the famous Baldwin No. 3. The Temple well is now drilling at 3110 and is showing up exceptionally strong. No. 4 is standing cemented at 1200 and rigging up work is underway at No. 5. Shutting off Water on Baldwin On the Baldwin property the Standard has four wells standing cemented. The cementing has been done at depths ranging from 1800 to 2100 ft. The company has had some difficulty in making shut off on the Baldwin, and the fact is laid to the character of the formation. However the water is being shut off successfully with two cementings sometimes being necessary. NEW PRESIDENT ASSUMES THE GAVEL A. B. McCORD OUTLINES DUTIES OF THE BOARD OF TRADE FOR THE YEAR 1918 RESOLUTION ADOPTED FAVORING A COOPERATIVE TELEPHONE SYSTEM FOR COUNTY The new president of the board of trade, A. B. McCord, wellded the gavel for the first time Monday night and opened the proceedings by announcing that the chief policy of that body during the coming year would be to assist the government to the utmost of its power in the battle now raging to defend out nation and preserve our democratic form of government. Supplementing to his patriotic talk speeches of a similar strain were made by H. G. Ames, H. A. Adams, Herman Stern and F. C. Krause. Messrs. Ames and Stern advocated better support to the Red Cross and Mr. Adams thought that every man should display the Star Spangled Banner where it could be seen and thus advertise to the world that a patriotic citizen was behind the colors. Mr. Krause stated that no matter how ardently we desired to keep this nation out of the European struggle, we were in it now, and it was the duty of the people of America to stand together and fight to win. Everybody could now see that the German optimum was stretching lies in a very promising part of the field and is pronounced by men who know to be territory of great possibilities. Mr. Delaney will drill the first well himself and give the future development work his constant attention. Amalgamated Hits Hard Stuff. The Amalgamated Oil Co. drilling on its Durfee property east of Montebello struck boulders and a very hard formation after leaving the 300 foot level, and consequently the drilling has been a little slow during the past week. At Huntington near Los Angeles, the Amalgamated are making fine progress on No. 1. The depth is now 2636, with the tools going nicely in brown shale. In the Brea field the Amalgamated is busy side tracking some drill pipe at Hualde No. 2. No. 5 is rigged up and drilling will start there this week. No. 9 is drilling at 2720. On the Anaheim lease the company has a new rig going up for location No. 42. Brea Canyon Has Good Luck The Brea Canyon company drilling in some of the most difficult territory in the Brea field is meeting with very good success. Two wells are drilling. No. 14 is at the 3408 mark and No. 29 is drilling at 3455. Both wells are looking very good and will be finished at an early date. Copa De Oro Now 3700 Feet The Copa De Oro's wild cat well in the heart of Chino canyon has been watched with great interest by oil operators for the past year and is now getting down to a point where the drilling has proceeded to 3700 feet. At this depth the formation is hard and making progress a little slow. The gas pressure still continues and it is predicted that the Copa De Oro will get a good well in the next 200 feet. Columbit Starts New One at Brea The Columbia Oil Co. has started drilling on its No. 8 on the Orange lease north of Brea and has 300 feet of hole. In the Olinda field the Columbia are meeting with some reverses. Wells No. 28 and 29 are drilling with considerable difficulty. For the past month progress has been impeded by caving and bad formation. Both wells are approximately 3000 feet deep and it seems that to get them down deeper it will be necessary to combat the formation difficulties continually. No. 30 is standing cemented at 600 feet. Fullerton Oil Co. Has Hard Luck The Fullerton Oil company drilling on the Fullerton bill north of Brea has four strings of tools lost in two wells. Shutting off Water on Baldwin On the Baldwin property the Standard has four wells standing cemented. The cementing has been done at depths ranging from 1800 to 2100 ft. The company has had some difficulty in making shut offs on the Baldwin, and the fact is laid to the character of the formation. However the water is being shut off successfully with two cementings sometimes being necessary. Baldwin No. 4 is being tested out at 246. No. 14 at 2258 and No. 15 is going good. Tri-State Passes Mile Mark The Tri State Oil Co. drilling near La Habra now have one of the deepest holes in this field. Drilling is now going on in open hole at a depth of 5400 feet. At this great depth an appreciable gas pressure is present and the formation is so encouraging that the owners are feeling very confident of success. The well was started in 15½ casing and is now down to 3 inch. The condition of the hole is excellent and reflects great credit upon the careful management of N.C. Phillips the superintendent in charge of the work. Drilling will continue. West Coast Makes Good Record The West Coast company drilling at Olinda is meeting with excellent success in the drilling of three wells on its Olinda property. No. 63 is drilling at 2450 feet, No. 68 at 2253 and No. 74 at 2000 feet. These wells are all on standard tools and making an average of fifty feet a week, a progress considered very good considering the formation difficulties continually met with. Union Showing Great Activity The Union Oil company is pushing ahead strong in these days and doing a tremendous amount of development work. The company is operating on nine different leases and has 17 strings of tools running. Recently the Union closed deals for the leasing of several properties located in the Brea field and in the Pomona valley region indicative of the fact that more development work will be started soon. Chapman Well Still Holds Record The most interesting well from the geological standpoint ever drilled in the Brea field is the Chapman lease well. Conglomerate was struck in the hole at 227 feet and has continued almost unbroken to the present depth of 1732 feet. This well when completed will be one of the most expensive in the district as seldom is better than Red Cross and Mr. Adams thought that every man should display the Star Spangled Banner where it could be seen and thus advertise to the world that a patriotic citizen was behind the colors. Mr. Krause stated that no matter how ardently we desired to keep this nation out of the European struggle, we were in it now, and it was the duty of the people of America to stand together and fight to win. Everybody could now see that the German octupus was stretching out his tentacles to drag us under his dominion, and we should strain every resource to defeat him. It was a patriotic discussion, and as everybody endorsed the statements of the speakers the board of trade was committed during the coming year to subordinate everything to the needs of the government. The telephone controversy was brought forward by A.A.Mills, who stated that it was apparent the telephone company after their merger, intended to raise the rates to an exorbitant figure. He understood that the rate would be raised to six dollars per month and as a remedy he advocated the organization of a cooperative system. The idea met the approval of the board, and the following resolution, introduced by Mills, was adopted: WHEREAS, the Pacific Telephone company has repeatedly stated before the railroad commission that even though the present no toll areas be abolished and the suburban rates on phones be raised to $2.50, $3.00 and $3.25 per month for resident, business wall, and business desk, respectively, the company would be losing money and a final rate must be much higher than this, and Whereas, it is currently reported that in several of the middle western states cooperative phones are operating at from 50c to $1.00 per month, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That it be and hereby is the sense of the Anahelm Board of Trade that there be established and operated a cooperative telephone system in Orange county. RESOLVED, That all other communities of the county be asked to join in such a plan, and, to best accomplish this end, it be suggested that a board of directors be named from the different sections of the county and as far as possible men who have been connected, officially, with co-operative telephone systems, in other sections, be placed on such a board.

For the past month progress has been impeded by caving and bad formation. Both wells are approximately 3000 feet deep and it seems that to get them down deeper it will be necessary to combat the formation difficulties continually. No. 30 is standing cemented at 600 feet. Fullerton Oil Co. Has Hard Luck The Fullerton Oil company drilling on the Fullerton hill north of Brea has four strings of tools lost in two wells. The fact does not cast any reflection whatever upon the management but shows that this company is endeavoring to put down a couple of wells in the most difficult piece of territory in the field. The Fullerton Co. has worked continuously on one of its wells No. 10 for the past six years, and has to date 3566 feet of hole. The Union Oil Co. drilled a well adjoining to about the same depth, worked a couple of years on the hole and lost so many tools and had so much hard luck combined that the well was abandoned. The location of these wells is extremely good and it is believed that if the Fullerton can get a hole down it will be rewarded with a big well. This company have No. 13 rigged up and a grade made for No. 14. Standard Has New Well, on Emery The Standard is putting No. 32 on the Emery on the pump and will test the well out at a depth of 4026 feet. No. 34 on the same property is down 3446. Standard at Whittler The Standard is running a little short of pipe for the completion of its wells on the Whittler and Murphy leases and are putting a number of the wells to producing in the upper sands until more pipe can be had and then the wells will be deepened and completed. The idea is certainly a good Work upon the Yorba bridge, a pile structure, has been progressing rapidly. The contractor, J. P. Hunter, of Los Angeles, expects to have the job completed in about three weeks. After that is done the county will require one or two weeks to make a fill at each end of the bridge and the bridge will be open for travel. This bridge replaces one that was washed away in the flood of January, 1916. RESOLVED, That all other communities of the county be asked to join in such a plan, and, to best accomplish this end, it be suggested that a board of directors be named from the different sections of the county and as far as possible men who have been connected, officially, with co-operative telephone systems, in other sections, be placed on such a board. A committee composed of John Reuther, H. G. Ames and A. A. Mills was appointed to present the matter to the associated chambers of commerce. A press committee composed of E. N. Cook, John Kellenberger and R. J. H. Joanston was appointed to see that Anaheim got its share of publicity in the Los Angeles papers. This was brought to the attention of the board by Mr. Kellenberger, who stated that in his opinion this city was not given a square deal by the press of the city. Herman Stern also had a grievance against the city papers. He thought the Mutt and Jeff cartoons now caricating the soldiers at the front, was in bad taste just now, and the other members agreed with him. Messrs. H. A. Dickel and Herman Stern, who constructed the float for the Pasadena Tournament of Roses, reported that out of the $175 donated by the city for the purpose they had a surplus of $12.36. E. N. Cook and A. Bayliss were appointed a committee to ask the supervisors for an appropriation to better protect the driveway leading to the Olive bridge. The annual banquet will be held at Masonic temple Monday night, and A. Bayliss was appointed a committee of one to sell tickets. The hour was fixed at 7 o'clock instead of 6:30 as originally announced.

Schumacher is the new manager of the Truck & Transfer Co. and F. A. Alexander takes charge of the express company. William Lang, inebriate, who has been making life miserable for inmates and guards at the county jail for several days was sentenced to Patton by Judge Marsh, taking Judge West's place for a few days in the superior court. Lang was picked up at Fullerton as a drunk but his condition became serious after his arrival at the jail. When he was not yelling he devoted his time to writ- ing songs about Orange county; he also addressed several communications to President Wilson. Tuesday the re-surfacing of the portion of the Buena Park road included in a contract let by the county recently to the L. A. Paving company was completed and was opened for travel. This is asphalt surfacing, known as the Topeka top. Messrs G. M. Simpson, A. Nagel and J. B. Gregg of this city and Dr. Barton of Los Angeles, are in Arizona this week inspecting mining property.
