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 PASSING OF THE BLADE Santa Ana papers announced Saturday that the Evening Blade had been absorbed by the Register and ceased to exist, the two being consolidated, the paper to be known hereafter as "The Santa Ana Daily Evening Register and Evening Blade." Three years ago Frank P. Clarkson came to Santa Ana from Des Moines, Iowa, and purchased the Blade from Horace McPhee. He is an able newspaper man and did his part toward making the Blade an excellent publication, but Santa Ana is not large enough to support two daily papers of such character, consequently it was mutually agreed between Mr. Clarkson of the Blade and Mr. Baumgartner of the Register that the two should consolidate. Mr. Clarkson states in his valedictory that he would gladly have purchased the Register had he been financially able, and continued the publication himself but as he could not do so he disposed of his plant to Mr. Baumgartner. The Blade was one of the oldest newspapers in the South, having been born a third of a century ago. It was always a welcome visitor at this office, and we regret that it has ceased to exist. Mr. Clarkson announces that he and his family will remain in Southern California for the present, as his plans for the future are indefinite. He has gone east for a visit to his moth-ents of the International Bible Student's association were soliciting here for its sale some months ago. If you have a copy of the book you had better deliver it up to the officials, as the government has condemned it and ordered it confiscated. The society's headquarters at Los Angeles were raided a couple of weeks ago and all the books confiscated. Saturday night W. Homer Lee, president of the society, lectured at Santa Ana, and a federal official was sent down to hear the lecture and arrest him should anything seditious be uttered. But the official found nothing in Lee's lecture that he considered in any way seditious or open to criticism from the standpoint of loyalty to the government. "The Finished Mystery" is a book of writings of Pastor Russell, for many years the head of the I. B. S. A. in America. Recently in Los Angeles the book has been under scrutiny by agents of the department of justice. It was alleged that certain teachings of the book were inimical to the interests of the government. After an investigation, the I. B. S. A. authorities were informed that the federal authorities were satisfied to allow the book to be sold provided seven pages were eliminated. Last Wednesday the Santa Ana officers received word to that effect, and the pages specified were cut out, and the effort of selling the books was continued. Local officials of the society say that they thought they had conformed to every requirement of the federal authorities, and that there was no objection to the sale of the books as censored. In that belief, the local society advertised the book for sale. After that action was taken there came an order from Washington to the Los Angeles federal authorities instructing them to confiscate all copies of "The Finished Mystery." Knowledge of that new ruling was not re- FIVE CENTS PER POUND FOR NAVEL ORANGES Growers Are Now Receiving Highest Prices Ever Paid The associations affiliated with the Orange County Fruit Exchange is mailing out to growers checks for their navel pools. None of the pools in the exchange has netted less than five cents per pound, which is the best price ever obtained for navels. The shipment of navels from this exchange district is completed. There remains in the state only about 1200 carloads of navels as against 4000 carloads at this time. The fact that the number of navels still to go is so much less than at this time last year is taken as an encouraging feature in the consideration of the car situation. Just at present the associations are having no trouble getting cars for carrying citrus fruit. Deliveries, of course, to the east have been slow. This district is a strong Valencia district, and navels have been for some years the minor crop. In the last year the exchange handled 1500 carloads of Valencias and only about 100 of navels. Some of the associations are now at work upon the sweets, which this year are bringing a big price. Sales now being made show them bringing around six cents per pound in the eastern markets. The associations have very few seedlings. Whatever seedlings that there are are bringing away up prices. A man with a big seedling orchard, like the ones that were planted all over the citrus section of teh valley years ago, has a gold mine this year. The associations of the Orange County Fruit Exchange will handle about fifty car loads of sweets. Officials of the society say that they thought they had conformed to every requirement of the federal authorities, and that there was no objection to the sale of the books as censored. In that belief, the local society advertised the book for sale. After that action was taken there came an order from Washington to the Los Angeles federal authorities instructing them to confiscate all copies of "The Finished Mystery." Knowledge of that new ruling was not received there until Saturday. In the meantime arrangements had been made in Santa Ana for an address Suday afternoon at Elks hall. The address was to be delivered by W. Homer Lee, one of the leaders of the society in Southern California. The Elk's secretary did not know that the meeting in any way concerned the book, "The Finished Mystery," until Saturday night an advertisement was called to his attention in which the lecture and the book were advertised together. The disposition of the Elks was to cancel the rental of the hall for the afternoon, since the book had been ordered confiscated. After a conference with District Attorney West, communication by telephone was entered into with the federal authorities asked that nothing be done to interfere with the meeting and that a federal representative would be present to determine whether or not any action should be taken, should Lee's address prove to be in any way objectionable. Lee's subject was "The New World Power After the War," and dealt entirely with doctrinal matters. In his address Lee referred to the kaiser as one of the devil's agents. He said that the work of the kaiser has been and is nothing more nor less than the work of the devil on earth. A stenographic report of the meeting was taken. While here the federal agent held a conference with R. S.-Barker, secretary, and Edward Stark, chairman of the business committee, of the local I.B.S.A. They signified their desire to do whatever the government representatives wanted them to do. They would gather together all the copies of "The Finished Mystery," under the control of the society and do with them as the federal official directd. The agent asked that the copies be turned over to City Marshal Jernigan, to be held by him until further directions were received by him from the department of justice. This request was complied with. The federal agent informed that between 600 and ed will locate no production or ard and increase.

The associations of the Orange County Fruit Exchange will handle about fifty car loads of sweets. Just at present the lemon houses are making heavy pickings. The wet weather interrupted lemon picking, and if the lemon men could have their way about it there would be no more rain for ten days or two weeks. In a good many of the orchards the lemons are getting tree ripe, and it will be to the advantage of the grower to have them picked at once. Prices being paid for lemons in the east are good and the outlook for big prices is favorable. The lemon crop taken over the state as a whole is short, but the citrus belt running down from Los Angeles county through Le Habra, Yorba Linda, Villa Park, El Modena and Lemon Heights has a big crop. With cars available, the movement of lemons is going to proceed rapidly. THE "FINISHED MYSTERY" BEING CONFISCATED Hundreds of Copies in Orange County Sought by Officers Several hundred copies of Pastor Russell's book, "The Finished Mystery," have been sold in Orange county, and it is reasonable to suppose that some of them are in Aanheim, as ag- Mrs. Margaret Walls, of Santa Ana, died on Thursday, March 14, aged 90 years and 7 months. On Monday she suffered a slight stroke of paralysis, and remained in a comatose condition until Thursday when she passed into eternal sleep. Deceased had resided in Santa Ana for 32 years. She is survived by two sons and a daughter, J. W. Walls of East Anaheim, W. A. Walls of Pomona and Mrs. F. L. Benedict of Los Angeles. Funeral services were held at Santa Ana on Saturday.

As stated in showing of ol ANAHEIM GAZETTE OIL FIELD NOTES By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER Despite the tremendous efforts being made to develop all available oil lands in the great southern oil fields the production of the Brea-Fullerton field has fallen off a thousand bbls since the opening of the year. At the close of the year 1917 the daily average production of the field was 55,251 bbls. Today the production of the same field is 54,024 bbls. These figures bring us face to face with the seriousness of the situation when it is understood that at the beginning of the year there were only 88 wells drilling, when today there are over 100 drilling. The fact is that a large number of the big wells that heretofore made the bulk of the field's production are falling off. Territory that a year ago produced wells from 500 to 1000 bbls. production are now bringing in 100 bbl. wells. Portions of the local field that produced gushers have had so many wells drilled that the gas pressure has been reduced to such an extent that gushers are out of the question. Thruout the entire Southern field wildcattling is going on in proportions never before known, and is being attended with some success and some failures. This is the work that is hoped will locate new oil lands and bring the production of the field up to standard and increase it, if possible. The men who are developing the pil resources of this and other fields recognize the fact that the success of the nation in the world war is depending upon the mutual confidence and cooperation of every person connected with the industry. This means that the man in the derrick will work with the general manager who frames the policy of the company. at a depth of 3700 feet continues and the owners of the well are greatly encouraged. At a depth of 3700 feet couraged. A string of 6 inch casing is now going into the hole, and the drilling will proceed as soon as finished. The Columbia Oil Co., drilling in the Olinda field met with a little reverse this week. On No. 23 a fishing job is holding up the work at a depth of 3000 feet. No. 29 is drilling at 3325 and is about to be completed and put on the beam. On the Orange lease in the Brea field No. 8 is drilling out the cement at 2250, and will be making new hole in a few days. No. 8 on the Orange is rotating at 800 feet in a formation so hard that progress is very slow. The Providential Oil Co., one of the pioneer companies that has developed the resources of the eastern end of the Brea field has resumed operations after being shut down three months. The Providential Oil Co. became involved in some financial arrangements that resulted in the company discontinuing operations until satisfactory settlement could be made. The company now has its affairs well in hand an dis proceeding with its development work. In spite of the fact that casing and supplies continue to be a little short and the hindrance to development work, the Standard has 11 strings of tools busy drilling on the Murphy lease. No. 31 is drilling at 4007, No. 33 at 4035, No. 34 at 4005. No. 35 has been cemented at 3344. Nos. 36 and 38 are testing for water. No. 39 is drilling at 3580. No. 40 is making hole at 3285. No. 41 is drilling at 3170. No. 43 has been cemented at 2710. At Whittier No. 50 is drilling at 2022.

The Union Oil Co. has drilling on the Graham Loftus property in the Brea field three wells. No. 43 is in the oil sand drilling at 3283. No. 49 is drilling out of the cement and going ahead at 1780. No. 51 is being held up with pipe trouble. Considerable difficulty being encountered in getting the casing down. SAMMIES IN FRANCE The main hall of the little village hotel sinells like some lumber jacks' barracks, writes J. W. Pegler, United Press Staff correspondent. Outside the ground is three feet under snow. Inside, ten of the fifty Sammies crowding the room have stripped off their soggy field shoes and their first layer of socks. The socks are hanging on the grill around the stove, drying in the heat of the beaming wood fire. "Phew! gimme my gas mask," demands the flip young bugler from Topeka. "Golly, gimme a gas mask, or something." They keep on crowding in—Sammies from fifteen miles around. They have come every way, afoot, in side-cars, on bikes, in ration wagons, by train and by gun limber with the artillery. It is Saturday night when company commanders release a few Sammies in turn for 36 hours "town leave." This little jerk water village doesn't offer much in the line of amusement. There is a movie that starts at 6:30 and quits at 8:30. There is a good-sized,lixely Y.M.C.A.hut and there are a few cafes where Sammy can learn to slip coffee with his Poull pal who can't be wooded from his red wine or after dinner cognac. And there's the hotel where Sammy gets a restaurant meal in the dining room. Ma says I cannot hear I can barely hear America rare "cake." The same door clink a cigar. The dining and away.

The men who are developing the oil resources of this and other fields recognize the fact that the success of the nation in the world war is depending upon the mutual confidence and cooperation of every person connected with the industry. This means that the man in the derrick will work with the general manager who frames the policy of the company. The fact that some of the ablest and most experienced oil men of the state or of the world, for that matter have been taken from our midst and put into the service of the government at Washington is indicative of the success these men have attained in the development of the California oil fields. These men will give the government their best, and it remains to us who are left here in the field to do our part in the continued development of the oil resources of the state no matter whether we are managers or roussabouts. It seems that never before in the history of this great nation has cooperation and mutual confidence been needed more than at the preset time. It is indeed a proud position for one to be associated with the oil business today and fell that the success of the nation depends in a very large measure in the manner we wok and in the management of our properties. The Amalgamated Oil Co., drilling on the Durfee property east of Montebello has been agreeably surprised with a showing of oil at 1357. While the oil showing came at a rather shallow depth the fact is indicative that the sand may be rather shallow also and that a good well may be secured at a little better than 2000 feet. The formation is now shale and boulders. Drilling by the Amalgamated on the Huntington tract near the city of Los Angeles is going right ahead. The log this week shows a depth of 330 feet with the oil showing struck 100 feet up, still continuing. At 300 the shale maintains colorings of oil that are encouraging but show that the oil will be deeper, probably running close to 4000 feet. Teh Amalgamated at Brea have completed No. 2 on the Hualde property and are putting the well on the beam, the depth being 3296. No production figures are as yet available, however, the well is making a good showing. Hualde No. 5 is being tested for water. On the Anaheim lease the Amalgamated will locate new oil lands and bring the production of the field up to standard and increase it if possible.

No production figures are as yet available, however, the well is making a good showing. Hualde No. 5 is being tested for water. On the Anaheim lease the Amalgamated commence drilling this week No. 42. No. 40 on the same property is being abandoned. This well was drilled to a depth of 3755, put on the beam and made a small production. The production gradually dwindled until at the present time the pipe in the hole is of more value than the production. Joseph Royer, field superintendent for the Birch Oil Co. is making a good show in the drilling of the Birch Oil Co.'s well No. 14 in a comparatively short time the well has been drilled to a depth of 3500 feet. The well is carrying the 8 inch casing and going along very nicely. The oil sand is expected in the next 200 feet. The Brea Canyon Oil Co. has at No. 14, one of the strongest looking wells ever drilled in the Brea Canyon field. At a depth of 3621 some 200 feet of oil sand has been pierced and the well is behaving in such a manner that speaks a big producer when completed. At No. 29 the drilling on iron has prevented the making of any new hole for the week. As stated in last week's report the showing of oil and gas encountered to other matters. Mr. Sherin announced his resignation to take effect immediately, giving out no reason for his action to the public. His sudden departure from the oil business is a matter of considerable conjecture as it was understood that his management was very successful. At Olinda the drilling operations of the West Coast embraced three wells. No. 63 is drilling in hard oil sand at 2725 with quite an appreciable showing of oil already. No. 68 is held up with pipe troubles at 1955. No. 74 is being tested for water after standing cemented for a couple of weeks. Holders of property bordering on the Red Star Oil Co. at Montebello will be agreeably surprised to learn that this company had a very good showing of oil at a depth of 2800 feet. The well is now cemented. This oil showing improves the chances of the H. L. Delaney Oil Co. whose property lies undeveloped. At a depth of 3700 feet the Union Oil Co. has a showing of oil at Baatanchy No. 6 that is the most satisfactory since the well began drilling. The formation is brown sandy shale. A test will be made of the well. No. 5 is redrilling with good results, the depth now being 4688. An effort to get out a quantity of rotary pipe lost in the hole at Bixby I, is meting with excellent success. At the present rate the pipe will be all out in a few days and drilling going ahead again at 4340. The Union Oil Co.'s Chapman well is now drilling at 1890 and at this depth a softer variety of conglomerate...
