OIL FIELD NOTES By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER The month of February closes with the activity of the oil operators very strong in the oil fields of Orange county. There are 100 wells drilling in the field, and the number of completions made during the present month are remarkable considering the scarcity of casing and other oil well supplies. February witnessed the daily production of the field increased until it is now close to the 56,000 mark. Only two wells have been abandoned during the month. Casing shipments are beginning to move a little faster in the East and field working conditions are a little better with the easement of the pipe situation. The field operations of the Amalgamated Oil Co. show remarkable progress for the week. In the Brea field this company has Hualde No. 2 drilling at 3445 and putting in 8½ casing. No. 5 on the same property is rotating at 2450, and is going down rapidly. On the Aanheim lease No. 42 is rigged up ready for drilling. At Durfee east of Montebello the Amalgamated has a well drilling and up to a week ago have met with considerable difficulty in getting the well down. The log now shows 687 feet of hole, 200 feet of which was made the past week. At Huntington the Amalgamated are 3120 feet. The formation at this depth is brown shale with enough oil colorings and showings to make the well look very promising. Joseph Royer field manager for Otis Birch at Brea is making an excellent showing on No. 14, now drilling. Prac-till now the well is making 1700 bbls. of the same high gravity oil. Activity on this, one of the best pieces of property the Standard has in the Southern field is strong with 12 wells in the process of drilling. No. 26 is redrilling at 4400, No. 31 is drilling and putting in 8¼ at 2006 feet. No. 33 is redrilling at 3800. No. 34 is drilling with the rotary at 3905. No. 35 has been cemented at 3327. No. 36 is also cemented the depth being 2630. No. 38 stands cemented at 3540. No. 39 is drilling out the cement at 3300 and will soon be making new hole. No. 40 is drilling at 2915, No. 41 at 1175, and No. 42 at 3005 feet. No. 43 was started early in the week on the rotary and has made 950 feet of hole. At Whittier the Standard has drilling operations going on at five of its wells. One well, No. 53 is shut down waiting on 10 inch casing. No. 50 is drilling at 2355. No. 54 is 1500 feet and drilling. At No. 55 drilling is going good at 1200. No. 56 is drilling at 1015 and No. 57 - 974. The success of the Standard at Montebello on the Baldwin property continues in a very large measure. No. 11 drilled to a depth of 2771 feet has been put on the beam and is pumping 1300 bbls a day. Baldwin No. 4 is drilling at 2720. No. 5 is drilling on standard tools at1770. No. 8 has been cemented at 2990 feet. No. 9 is drilling at 2135. No. 10 has just been cemented at 2228. No. 12 is drilling at 1441. No. 13 the latest location is building a rig. The Standard has commenced the construction work on six 5000 bbl tanks for handling oil on the Montebello property. These tanks will gather the oil from the wells and from there it will gravitate to the big storage tanks at Newmark.

In t Ball did not fin terest was great the country for "How will th siderable difficulty in getting the well down. The log now shows 697 feet of hole, 200 feet of which was made the past week. At Huntington the Amalgamated are 3120 feet. The formation at this depth is brown shale with enough oil colorings and showings to make the well look very promising. Joseph Royer field manager for Otis Birch at Brea is making an excellent showing on No. 14, now drilling. Practically without a delay and in a remarkably short time he has drilled the well to a depth of 3314 feet. The formation has changed from the oil sand discovered a couple of weeks ago to brown shale. It is the intention of the management to drill this well to 4000 feet and tap the deeper sand responsible for the big production made by the famous No. 5. The Brea Canyon Oil Co. drilling in the northern end of the Brea field has its No. 14 drilling at 5322. The formation has changed from a long stratum of oil sand passed through brown shale. The well is showing up so strong that a big well is predicted as soon as completed. At No. 29 no new hole has been made during the week owing to some difficulty encountered with a string of 4¼ casing. The Copa De Oro Oil Co. drilling in the Chino canyon district now have the well down 3730 feet and a gas pressure and the condition of the hard sand formation leads the management to believe that there is something good a little further down. The condition of the hole is good and the owners are in good spirit. The Columbia Oil Co. drilling at Olinda have No. 28 drilling at 3150. The formation is hard and drilling is a little slow. No. 29 is now 3200 feet and preparations are being made to complete the well. No. 30 has been showing up very satisfactory and a good well is expected. At Brea the company is meeting with difficulties in the way of hard formation. At No. 7 drilling has progressed to 215 and No. 8 recently started has passed 500 feet and is still in hard drilling. The Fullerton Oil Co. has abandoned all efforts to get five strings of tools out of its two wells and drilling by has started at No. 11 at 2910 feet. At No. 10 the casing is being pulled and redrilling will be started in a few days. At Nos. 13 and 14 new rigs cemented at 2990 feet. No. 9 is drilling at 2135. No. 10 has just been cemented at 2228. No. 12 is drilling at 1441. No. 13 the latest location is building a rig. The Standard has commenced the construction work on six 5000 bbl tanks for handling oil on the Montebello property. These tanks will gather the oil from the wells and from there it will gravitate to the big storage tanks at Newmark. Another recent addition to the equipment at the Baldwin is the erecting of a gas pumping plant to handle the gas produced on the Baldwin property. This plant will make it possible to pump gas to any part of the property or to distant properties if need be. Drilling on the Tri-State's deep well at La Habra has stopped temporarily. The company is waiting on 2 inch pipe and the work will not be able to go ahead until this material is on the ground. The hole is now 5475 feet deep in goon condition, with an appreciable gas pressure and oil colorings present. The West Coast Oil Co. at Olinda have three wells drilling. No. 63 is drilling in hard sand at 2607 feet. No. 68 had the casing shot off at 1770 feet and this will enable drilling to proceed. No. 74 is drilling in the blue shale at 2234 and will be cemented before drilling further. Aside from a few fishing jobs and pipe trouble on a couple of wells the Union Oil Co. has had a very successful week in the operation of its seven leases in the Orange county field. On the deep Bastanchury well, No. 5, the Union is having considerable casing difficulties and the situation is looking rather serious. Swedging has been going on for a number of weeks without any apparent success. The redrilling of No. 6 has progressed to 3470 with good results thus far. The Graham Loftus lease at one time the center of the greatest activity in the Brea field now has one well drilling. No. 43 is the well and the depth is 3175. Nos. 49 and 51 are standing cemented at 1606 and 1137 respectively. Union officials are pleased with the manner in which No. 15 the last well to be drilled on the Hole lease is holding up on production.

The Fullerton Oil Co. has abandoned all efforts to get five strings of tools out of its two wells and drilling by has started at No. 11 at 2910 feet. At No. 10 the casing is being pulled and redrilling will be started in a few days. At Nos. 13 and 14 new rigs mark the new locations and drilling will start as soon as one of the above wells are completed. Realizing that it might be necessary to drill a deep well in order to thoroughly test out its property in Chino Canyon the Gold Seal Oil Co. are reaming out the original 12 inch hole drilled to 2000 feet to a 15B inch hole. Drill is being done by daylight only and this accounts for the seemingly slow progress on the well. The Olinda Land Co. operating in the extreme eastern end of the Brea field has two wells drilling. No. 19 recently located is drilling at 1200 feet. No. 2 formerly a producing well completed a number of years ago is now being redrilled with hope of increasing the production. Redrilling is now at 3190. No. 20 a recently made location is rig building. A very remarkable feature of the Standard Oil Co.'s Murphy well No. 36 is that the well has increased its production in a week's time from 1300 bbls. to 1700. This great well was completed early last week at a depth of 3630 feet, put on the beam and started off doing 1300 bbls. of high gravity oil. Soon however this already large production began to increase un- The Graham Loftus lease at one time the center of the greatest activity in the Brea field now has one well drilling. No. 43 is the well and the depth is 3175. Nos. 49 and 51 are standing cemented at 1606 and 1137 respectively. Union officials are pleased with the manner in which No. 15 the last well to be drilled on the Hole lease is holding up on production. The well was put on the beam two weeks ago at 500 bbls, and today the figure is 525. On the strength of this well, No. 10 on the same property will be redrilled and deepened in the hope of increasing the production and making a better well. At Montebello the Union has cemented No. 2 at 2248. No. 3 is drilling in the oil sand at 2726. No. 4 has been drilled to 2200 feet with the rotary and is being rigged up to complete on the standard tools. No. 6 is in the oil sand and drilling at-2500 feet. At Valley View east of Montebello the Union's wildcat well is temporarily held up with a fishing job at 1400 feet. Six polls of drill pipe are lost in the hole. At Placentia the Union Oil Co. after allowing the Chapman well to stand cemented a couple of weeks has resumed drilling. The cement has been drilled out of the hole and now hole is being made at 1650 feet. The Union's well at Whittier is redrilling at 3165 after making 3400 feet of hole and compelled to lose 200 feet on account of serious pipe trouble that could not be corrected. For a number of years the Union Oil Co. has been operating a gas com- ANAHEIM GAZETTE pressor plant on its Stearns property with considerable success. The company installed an absorption plant and put it into operation a few weeks ago as an experiment with the intention of getting a line on the efficiency and cost of the two methods. The absorption plant has increased the gasoline production with the cost of operating not being increased and obviating the running of expensive machinery at high speed. The absorption method of gasoline making will no doubt in time take the place of all other existing methods of making gasoline from the natural gas. The Santa Fe Oil Producing Co. in the old Olinda field has just completed well No. 78 and is starting off with a production of 135 bbls. The well while considered a good average for this field is expected to do better as the pumping conditions are bettered. No. 79 is drilling in sandy shale at 1446. At No. 80 a string of casing is being removed. No. 81 is drilling in sandy shale at 2840 and looking very good. No. 82 is going a little slow as it is drilling in conglomerate at 1330. No. 83 is rigged up and ready for drilling, and No. 84 has the rig completed. BOARD REJECTS FOUR AGRICULTURAL CLAIMS Several Others From District No. 2 Taken Under Advisement Out of a number of agricultural claimants before the board Monday night, at least four will be recommended by Dr. C. D. Ball, member of the appeal board for classification in Class A1. In these four cases Dr. Ball did not find that the farming interest was greater than the need of the country for that particular soldier. "How will the boys who remainedployed on his father's ranch. A brother is in the service. He would just about as soon go as stay at home but the family thought one of the boys ought to be around to help them. Dr. Ball took the matter under advisement. TEACHERS RECEPTION Monday evening the sewing, art and dining rooms of the high school were the scene of much merriment. The occasion being a reception to the J. C. and H. S. faculties and their wives tendered by the J. C. students. Upon arrival all were assigned to their company of the A. U. J. C. army. The companies being A., U., J. and C. Here the captains read the camp orders after which each company had drills. Sham battles and flag contests were participated in Co. A. and C., facing Co. U. and J. Other forms of amusement were George Washington guessing games, Bibadee-bub-bub and baseball. One very amusing feature was a mock debate. The question was: Resolved: That the hole of a doughnut is more healthful and beneficial than the smell of limber cheese. The affirmative was very ably upheld by Miss Rivers and Mr. Malcolm, the negative by Miss Byam and Mr. Prince. Mr. Hargrave acted as chairman. After very flowery and convincing speeches the judges reported two to one in favor of the affirmative. Later the guests were ushered into the dining room where refreshments of ice cream, cakes and chocolate were served after which the president gave a speech of welcome, then called upon the members of the faculty. Needless to say these speeches were good and that there were stories in connection with the speeches. After expressions of the good time had by all, all were homeward bound. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Prince, Mr. and Mrs. Hargrave, Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm, Mr. and Mrs. Clayes, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. York, Mr. Nichols, Mrs. Finch, the Misses Ross, Rivers, Rickey, Byam, Allan, Stechert, Willet, Walker, Finch, Sloane, Cain, Winters, Several Others From District No. 2 Taken Under Advisement Out of a number of agricultural claimants before the board Monday night, at least four will be recommended by Dr. C. D. Ball, member of the appeal board for classification in Class A1. In these four cases Dr. Ball did not find that the farming interest was greater than the need of the country for that particular soldier. "How will the boys who remained at home feel when the boys who went to war come home," asked C. C. Chapman, chairman of the exemption board of No. 2 district, of one of the claimants. Registrants before Dr. Ball Monday were all from No. 2 district, which district was represented at the hearing by C. C. Chapman and G. H. Gobar, chief clerk. "If we don't down Germany our ranches won't amount to much," declared Chapman to another registrant. "We have all got to make sacrifices. I'd like mighty well to have my boy at home, just as your folks would like to have you at home, but my boy is in France, and he belongs in France, not at home." Walter C. Aten of Garden Grove, who is farming 200 acres of sugar beets at Hynes and thirty acres at Garden Grove, said that he was willing to go, and it was up to the board to say whether the government would prefer that he stay on the farm. Dr. Ball decided that Aten had better go, and a recommendation for Class A1 was given. Adam Herzog of Anaheim did not press his claim very strongly himself. His employer, a woman, said she had been unable to get as good a man as Herzog to run her place. Chapman said she would have to do as he has been doing on his ranch, let the soldier go and get the best man possible to take his place. "That is a sacrifice that we ranchers must make," he said. Herzog was recommended for A1. Theodore Meyer, Anaheim, put his case clearly. He was born in Australia, and had taken out first papers. Last September he tried to get in the navy, and was rejected. Since he had tried to enlist with a department of his choice, he would still like to have a choice. If he could get in the artillery, he would go. He was told how he could get in the Grizzlies, and he said that he would make the try the next day. Dr. Ball denied his claim for exemption on the ground that he was an alien. ployed on his father's ranch. A brother is in the service. He would just about as soon go as stay at home but the family thought one of the boys ought to be around to help them. Dr. Ball took the matter under advisement. Frank Mauerhan and Charles T. Carroll, both of Anaheim, were not present when their names were called. Several workers in the oil fields had their claims referred to Assemblyman Wright, member of the appeal board in charge of industrial claims. They are Clayton M. Hall, Edward N. Bond, La Habra; Wm. E. Rees, Brea; Earl E. Cammack, Whittler; Clyde C. Kelley, La Habra; Frank L. Hambilin, Los Alamitos. Thomas E. Anderson, Los Angeles, employed in ship yard, was told that under a new arrangement a ship yard can probably keep a man as long as it wants him. Dependency claims were heard behind closed doors, with results as follows: Henry Boisserance, Buena Park, agriculture claim, denied. Rollie C. Byland, La Habra, dependency denied, industrial referred to Wright. Benjamin H. Sidnam, Anaheim, dependency claim allowed. Frederick W. Schmidt, Anaheim, under advisement. Fred N. Osmun, Huntington Beach, dependency claim denied, industrial claim as beet end foreman under advisement. Fred P. Segner, Anaheim, under advisement. Frank Bell, Buena Park, allowed A4. Jesus Roderiguez, Newberry, denied. Hamilton L. Rose, Buena Park, dependency allowed and agriculture denied. Riccardo Guglielmana, Buena Park, agriculture and dependency both denied. FARM ARTILLERY At every automobile show the tractor is the center of interest. On any street, in any city, it will draw a crowd. The finest pleasure car is ignored. Everybody wants to see and know about the ugly, crawling little less to say these speeches were good and that there were stories in connection with the speeches.

EBELL CLUB The Anaheim Ebell are planning an entertaining representatives from the sixteen different Women's clubs in Orange county at a Reciprocity day next Monday. It will be an all day session, the forenoon being devoted to the business while in the afternoon a delightful program has been arranged. Mrs.Wm.Jackson of Long Beach,a reader of note will give several numbers; Mrs.Helen Bacon Campbell formerly of the Fullerton high school faculty will appear in one of her interpretative esthetic dances. This Mrs.Campbell's first appearance at any Anaheim function and the Ebell members are looking forward with much pleasureable anticipation to her appearance.Miss Alice Grimshaw of Anaheim and Mrs.E.W.Hauck of Fullerton will both give several vocal numbers.At noon a luncheon will be served to the visiting delegates and members of Anaheim Ebell.The will be a charge of 15c for luncheon for Anaheim members and tickets are on sale at Mullinix Drug store.Please purchase these tickets before Friday evening as the luncheon committee may know how many will be present.The afternoon program is open to the public and a charge of 15c plus the war tax will be asked.

He was told how he could get in the Grizzlies, and he said that he would make the try the next day. Dr. Ball denied his claim for exemption on the ground that he was an alieh. Dr. Ball told Oscar Bruskey of Garden Grove that his output as a farmer was not enough to warrant allowing his agricultural claim, but the doctor did not have any doubt but that the condition of Bruskey's health was such that he would never be accepted for service. Bruskey was put in A1. Ralph A. Ross, Buena Park, is farming 1300 acres. He started in without a dollar, and by good farming is raising a lot of sugar beets. The examiners declared he was undoubtedly right in asking exemption as a farmer. He was put in J3. Gilbert Kraemer, son of Samuel Kraemer, Placentia pioneer, said he oversees his father's big acreage. His brother Samuel was at Camp Kearny, but was discharged on account of ill health. He used to weigh 230, now weighs 180. Another brother is to go to the navy soon. Gilbert has been once rejected physically by the local board. Dr. Ball took the case under advisement. This case is one of unusual interest in the north end of the county. Bernard Oertley of Garden Grove, now in Canada, was put in J3. Gobar commended Oertley highly, saying he came out of Canada last year to be examined physically in the United States. A brother is in the army. Forrest B.

On any street, in any city, it will draw a crowd. The finest pleasure car is ignored. Everybody wants to see and know about the ugly, crawling little contraption that will plow, harrow, haul, pump water, grind fodder, and, in general, do the work of half a dozen horses and several men. There are 34,000 tractors already in use on American farms. There may be twice that many before the year's out. Henry Ford alone is making 50 a day. He's sending most of them to England. But there are plenty of other manufacturers on the job supplying the domestic market, and the production is increasing every week. Public authorites, as well as private citizens, are waking up to the possibilities that tractors offer in the way of increased food output. Many cities are buying tractors to use in the spring, plowing vacant lots for war gardens. States are going into the business on a large scale. Most of the big agricultural states are giving demonstrations to familiarize farmers with the value of the tractors and the way to use them. Some are going further than that. Ohio is putting $1,000,000 of state funds into country banks to be loaned to farmers for the purchase of tractors. With this powerful aid we may more than make up for the loss of farm labor due to the war. If we have bumper crops this year, as we should have, the tractor will do it. PROSBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev.

The Oakdale chamber of commerce may employ hunters who are good shots at a fixed salary to kill rabbits. The campaign against ground squirrels at Iro Loma had united action from all the farmers in that section and lasted three days. The ground squirrels are working for the kaiser, declare ranchers of Raisin City, who plan a big drive on them this week. Asparagus growers have been notified that they will be paid a considerable advance for their 1918 crop abovet that of last year. Petition asking the supervisors of Merced county to call an election to vote on the formation of an irrigation district on the east side of the county are in circulation. The public parks of Pacific Grove will be planted to potatoes instead of flowers, and the proceeds from the crop will go to the park fund of the municipality.

Mrs. William Taylor, who has been in the hospital for a couple of weeks suffering from a nervous complaint, is rapidly recovering. ADMIRABLE CONDITION "The financial condition of the United States is admirable," declared Frank A. Vanderlip, chairman of the United States War Savings Certificate Commission and one of the country's greatest financiers, who is now visiting friends in Southern California. "The American dollar has usurped the English pound, as the base of international exchange, and there is little likelihood that we will relinquish our leadership in the financial world," he said. "The American public is getting used to thinking in terms of a million, yet it really is an incomprehensible sum. Although the government has and will pass enormous appropriations for the continuance of the war there need be no fear of a money stringency. Our credit is unprecedented, and practically unlimited. Nearly every country is our debtor. It has been said that the United States is financing our allies and this is literally the truth."

Gallegher, rector of St. Mary's church at Fullerton, has been transferred to St. Mary's in Los Angeles, and Rev. Thomas Blackwell of Downey, will take charge of the Fullerton church. Wm. Stark was compelled to take his bed Saturday with an attack of sickness. Yesterday an improvement was noted, and his friends hope that he will soon recover his former robust health. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Sandilands entertained the O. M. B. club at their home on Wednesday evening at an old fashioned "tacky" party. A very jolly time was spent, some of the costumes worn being particularly mirr provoking. A feature of the evening was the cafeteria supper which was much enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin won the prize, an electric night lamp. Henry W. Baxter who enlisted some months ago in the hospital corps of Uncle Sam's army, writes to his friends here that he has bee npromoted to the rank of sergeant and has been transferred from San Francisco to Vancouver barracks. He also states that he received a comfort bag from the Anaheim Red Cross, and it is the handiest thing that has come his way since he enlisted. In fact he says, he couldn't get along without it and he wants his thanks extended to the people who were thoughtful enough to provide these bags for the boys. Everybody is rejoicing over the generous rain that has fallen since the storm begin on Sunday, February 17. Up to Tuesday morning the precipitation was 4.16, which was increased considerably during the day. The season's fall in Anaheim up to Tuesday evening was 6.02. Mrs. Anna Frey of Hansen Station, lon, yet it really is an incomprehensible sum. Although the government has and will pass enormous appropriations for the continuance of the war there need be no fear of a money stringency. Our credit is unprecedented, and practically unlimited. Nearly every country is our debtor. It has been said that the United States is financing our allies and this is literally the truth." On the subject of the thrift campaign, Mr. Vanderlip is enthusiastic."The prospect of an oversubscription of the $2,000,000,000 loan, the aim of the administration, is excellent, he declared."There has already been subscribed over $50,000,000 and it is averaging an increase of $2,000,000 per day. At Washington we have at chart showing the gain day by day, and all of us in charge of the work there are delighted with the progress being made. "When one realizes that this sum is coming in in denominations of quarters and dollars, that the entire sum is being given to the government by those who can only afford a fraction of a dollar at a time, then one realizes that the entire nation is united in the support of the government in its war policy. It is a wonderful manifestation of the real pulse of the people." THE CITRUS MARKETS "Long looked for and now it has come at last" has been the sigh of relief by every citrus fruit rancher throughout the state. Rain in quantities to satisfy ranchers has fallen the past week. Citrus trees have been washed clean and irrigation worries are over for the time being. Snowfall is also reported in the mountains thus insurin gan adequate supply of water for irrigation later. Practically all of the rain went into the parched soil, there being very little run off into the streams. Traffic conditions have shown some improvement the past week and in many instances it has been noted that fully a week has been cut off the running time on citrus fruit shipments, all of which means much to shippers. Usual schedule time is now being practically maintained as far east as Chicago, but from Chicago to the Atlantic seaboard embargoes on various lines are in force and the running time is necessarily lengthened. Lowering temperatures are again prevailing in many sections of the country, both Chicago and Buffalo reporting 4 Everybody is rejoicing over the generous rain that has fallen since the storm begin on Sunday, February 17.

Three houses in the northern part of Fullerton were entered by burglars Saturday evening, probably between 8 and 9; but not much of a haul was made by the men, who by general appearances, seem to have been noyices at the business. At the home of John E. Ellis, on North Pomona, they secured a kodak, two revolvers, a sweater, three rings and three pins, the value being estimated at $35. Although the back door of the house was unlocked, the thieves took the trouble to enter through a window. The home of W. P. Davis, was alos entered through a window. This, also, was wholly unnecessary, as the front door was already unlocked, perhaps just waiting for them. At this place nothing has been missed, but they dumped a drawer containing deeds and other papers and some rings, but didn't even stop to take the rings. The home of Jimmy Arnold, on North Harvard was also entered, but nothing of value is reported as having been taken.
