DROSS FINED $100 JAIL SENTENCE Suspended JUDGE HOWARD ADMINISTERS A STERN REBUKE FOR MAN'S DISLOYAL UTTERANCES WARNS HIM THAT REPETITION OF OFFENSE WILL MEAN JAIL DESPIE T WIFE AND CHILD B. H. Dross was sentenced to pay a fine of $100 by Judge Howard in the township court on last Wednesday afternoon, and a ninety day sentence in the county jail was suspended during good behavior. Dross was arrested on complaint of D. Jessurun, chief of the Orange county division of the American Protective League, and complaining witnesses against him were E. W. Phillips, foreman of the pumping operators on the Bastanchury ranch, and his helper, Roy Splers. These two gentlemen were engaged in erecting a pump house when Dross, who is an electrician, arrived for the purpose of installing a motor. In conversation he made charges against United States soldiers recently at Santa Ana and the ladies of that city. The remarks attacked the honor of the soldiers and the virtue of the ladies. Dross was arrested, tried and convicted before a jury. He was defended by Sam Davis, a Santa Ana attorney. The culprit sat contrite and penitent in court as he was called for sentence. Judge Howard was visi- to what property he has and as to what became of property he did have. It developed that Buhrman deeded his ranch at Olive to his sister on December 3, which was after judgment was entered against him. He was asked what he had done with $27,000 he had had. His answer was: "I don't know." He said he deeded his ranch to his sister because he was going to war. Attorney Clyde Bishop appeared as intervenor. He was there as government draft agent. He pulled forth from the recesses of his pocket a questionnaire. It was the questionnaire filled out by Buhrman on December 6, three days after the deed was given. That questionnaire showed that Buhrman rated his property as worth $200,000. It also showed that Buhrman on an agricultural claim had been granted exemption b ythe Fullerton draft board. It showed him to be the owner of the ranch. "Have you reported to the draft board the changed status of your farming relations?" asked Bishop. "No" replied Buhrman, "I didn't remember to do it." "You will have five days in which to do it," said Bishop. Judge Thomas continued further hearing to July 1, on which day inquiry will be made to determine whether or not the deed was given for the purpose of avoiding judgment. "How much money have you got with you?" asked Attorney Ames. Buhrman replied that he had about $25. Ames got an order of court for the money, which turned out to be $30. Walls has that much on his $2200. FOURTH AT SEAL BEACH Extensive preparations have been made for the celebration of the Fourth at Seal Beach, and from all indications a bumper crowd will attend. There will be a monster show of fireworks. CIRCULATING FOR PAYMENT Saturday was which nomination county and town circulated.

In conversation he made charges against United States soldiers recently at Santa Ana and the ladies of that city. The remarks attacked the honor of the soldiers and the virtue of the ladies. Dross was arrested, tried and convicted before a jury. He was defended by Sam Davis, a Santa Ana attorney. The culprit sat contrite and penitent in court as he was called for sentence. Judge Howard was visibly agitated as he proceeded to question the defendant before imposing sentence. He said he had a son in the service, who had been entertained by citizens of Seattle, as the boys of the 146th regiment had been entertained by the people of Santa Ana. He said that many people from this city had gone to Santa Ana to assist in entertaining the soldiers, and that Dross' seditious utterances had indirectly effected every soldier in the United States and every young lady who had been pleased to entertain them. In response to questions by the court Dross said that he had been married in Los Angeles in January last year and that he had a wife and a five-months old son depending upon him for their support. Judge Howard spoke with considerable feeling as he referred to the enormity of the man's offensive utterances. He said he could send him to jail for ninety days, but because of his family he said he would not do so. He imposed a fine of $100 and a sentence of ninety days in the county jail was suspended. Through his attorney Dross stated that his disloyal utterances were made in an unguarded moment, that he intended to reside in this country, and in future would scrupulously abide by the laws of the land. He said he had left Germany in order to better his condition in the United States, that he could make a better living here, and promised to respect and obey the laws of the country. Judge Howard spoke to Dross at some length, saying that he did not wish to impose unnecessary hardship upon him because of his family, but warned him that if he ever again made use of disloyal or seditious utterances he would have to go to jail for ninety days. Dross had put up $250 cash bail for his appearance in court. One hundred dollars of this was taken by the court and the balance returned to him. Buhrman replied that he had about $25. Ames got an order of court for the money, which turned out to be $30. Walls has that much on his $2200. FOURTH AT SEAL BEACH Extensive preparations have been made for the celebration of the Fourth at Seal Beach, and from all indications a bumper crowd will attend. There will be a monster show of fireworks. The government has sanctioned the use of explosives for this occasion which will be the only one this year where fireworks can be used. The fireworks combined with the wonder working scintillators form a combination that can be enjoyed nowhere except at Seal Beach. Patriotic band concerts will form another feature and no pains have been spared to secure really good music for both the concerts and for the dancing in the pavilion. Bathing, fishing and other entertainments will round out the day. OFF FOR VANCOUVER The fourteen men selected to go from No. 2 district to Vancouver Barracks today are: J. M. Good, Fullerton; Albert E. Rees, Brea; Antony Swenczicky, LaHabra; G. W. Irwin, Los Angeles; Robert E. McGill, Montebello; John J. Britton, Casper, Wyo.; Milton Varner, Fullerton, R. D. 4; Charles T. Carroll, Anaheim; Joseph A. Fallert, Fullerton; Clarence H. Hoosler, Placentia; Daniel W. Herron, Fullerton; Ygnacio Noriega, Brea; Lewis M. Smith, R. D. 3, Fullerton; Jessie Sharp, LaHabra. E. D., Vanderburg, Anaheim, and A. J. Stokes, Santa Ana R. D. 2, originally selected to go on this call have secured agricultural stays. Irwin and Herron go in their places. Fred Hudson's patriotic spirit has impelled him to make a change in occupation. He has decided that making photographs is not essential to the winning of the war, consequently he is preparing to give up his business for the present and go into the shipyards at Long Beach. He will probably resume the photographic business at the close of the war. TURCK GOES TO JAIL Supervisor—Fourth, 17 to 68; Central Committee first district, 7 third, 7 to 14; for 6.

DEED TO HIS SISTER MAY MEAN ARMY Olive Man Tries to Avoid Paying Judgment to J. W. Walls J. H. Buhrman of Olive appears to be between the devil and the deep blue sea. It is charged that he deed his property to his sister, Mrs. Anna Klaus of San Pedro, to prevent J. W. Walls from collecting a judgment for $2200. Tuesday when in court the fact that he no longer owned his ranch was shoved at him in a way that leaves little doubt but that Buhrman's agricultural claim for exemption will be set aside and he will soon be on his way to an army camp. J. H. Buhrman and J. W. Walls have been litigating against each other for months. Walls sued to collect on a note, and Buhrman replied that he was the victim of misrepresentation. Judgment for $2200 went against Buhrman. Walls was never able to collect. It was found that although Buhrman was reputed to be worth a lot of money, there was none that Walls and his attorney, H. G. Ames could seize under execution. Tuesday Buhrman was before Judge Thomas to answer questions as Fred Hudson's patriotic spirit has impelled him to make a change in occupation. He has decided that making photographs is not essential to the winning of the war, consequently he is preparing to give up his business for the present and go into the shipyards at Long Beach. He will probably resume the photographic business at the close of the war. TURCK GOES TO JAIL W. I. Turck, clubman and president of the Los Angeles Fish Company, is in the county jail serving the ten-day sentence for speeding that was given to him several months ago. The decision of the appellate court last week was no sooner announced than Turck recognized that the jig was up. He had tried the superior court and the upper court, and both had stood fast with Justice Cox's sentence of ten days. He had tried Governor Stephens, but the governor, too, gave him no help. Evidently the governor came to the conclusion that Justice Cox's system of handling speeders in this county was about right. When Turck found that there was nothing left for him to do but serve the sentence, he wasted no time getting started on the term. He arrived Saturday afternoon. Turck pleaded guilty to speeding fifty eight miles an hour, and Justice Cox applied his invariable rule to him. That rule is that any man convicted of going over fifty miles an hour gets ten days in the county jail. Here are some safe figures about what can be expected of a back yard flock of hens.

MUNGER The month of June closes with a brilliant record for both the development and production of oil in the fields of Southern California. A close and detailed survey of the entire field reveals a very promising situation and a very hopeful outlook for the great petroleum industry for the remaining half of the year. Never before in the history of the Southern California oil fields has there been as much activity as at the present time. There is not a locality in the entire Southland that has any possibilities of oil that is not being developed. This great development work is being carried on not by mushroom stock companies and get rich quick speculators but by many of the oldest and strongest oil companies of California. The oil industry is now a great business conducted along scientific lines with men with brains at the head of the concerns that are developing the field. The "drill 'em and get 'em producing in a hurry" men have been eliminated from the fields by the careful and efficient management of the state department so that now the fields are protected and the oil lands are conserved in the highest possible manner. The close of the month shows many new wells that are about to start drilling, and the production of the Southern field has been increased by four fine wells. The Montebello field added to this list a 2100 barrel well, and two wells in the Brea field each of 500 barrels capacity. Satisfied with the possibility of making something out of its Huntington test well the Amalgamated Co. well advanced. The Stone lease has a rig nearing completion. The Liberty Oil Co. is about to complete a rig on its property adjoining the Standard's lease at Newport and will start drilling early in July. The month of June closed with great activity among the smaller operators in the Montebello field. At the present time some 25 companies are operating and the past week saw the start of five new wells. The McGinley Co. is drilling at 3350 on No. 2. No. 3 has been cemented and a rig for No. 4 is up. The Pan American on the Bicknell property is drilling at 3100 feet. The Helliman is at 2000 and the Tri City well has been cemented at 3300. The Petroleum Midway on the Germain lease have suspended Its No. 1 at 2700 feet. Just what will be done with this well could not be learned. The Mullholland lease well is drilling at 2400 and going nicely. The Red Star have No. 2 standing suspended for the time being. No. 4 is drilling at 1200 feet on the rotary and they have made a location for No. 5. The Petroleum Midway developing a large area of the Montebello field with operations on five leases met with a little reversal of form on the Taylor lease well. After drilling to a depth of 2700 feet a string of drill pipe became fast in the hole and the present outlook for further progress seemingly depends on moving the rig and starting a new hole. The Central Oil Co. has No. 60 drilling in open hole with the rotary and a location for No. 61 has been made. The Five Star Co. commenced operations early in the week and have made several hundred feet of open hole with the rotary. The St. Helen's company is busy rigging up and will start drilling in a Supervisor—First district, 13 to 52; fourth, 17 to 68; fifth, 10 to 40.

STATE EXPENSES There has been much discussion relative to the amount, nature and of justification for the expenses of California's state government. These expenses have increased rapidly in volume. In order to get at the actual facts, Tax Payers' association of California has studied and analyzed the state's finances over a period of 16 fiscal years, the first of which was 1902 and the last 1917. References to years herein always mean fiscal, and not calendar years. The state's official reports have been accepted as the basis for the study, but from the state's figures of gross payments all book and agency transactions and the like have been deducted. The segregations contained in this article, both as to expenses and outlays, and as to classifications, are the association's. For the present attention will be devoted to expenses, or payments for the ordinary operation and maintenance of the state government. Payments for permanent improvements, or outlays will be considered later. For the 16 fiscal years 1902 to 1917 inclusive, the expenses of the state government aggregated $221,336,410.34. This total may be classified as follows: Legislative ... $2,590,944 Executive ...8,465,743 Judicial ...6,601,276 Protection to person and property ...8,335,773 Natural resources (conservation, etc.) ...6,276,788 Health and sanitation ...1,255,603 The close of the month shows many new wells that are about to start drilling, and the production of the Southern field has been increased by four fine wells. The Montebello field added to this list a 2100 barrel well, and two wells in the Brea field each of 500 barrels capacity. Satisfied with the possibility of making something out of its Huntington test well the Amalgamated Co. is continuing a test of the hole in an effort to locate the position of the entry of the water and shut it off. It seems that previous showing were of such a nature that the management is warranted in making an exceedingly exhaustive test before abandoning the well. The Huntington well was put on the beam at 3662 a month ago and the pumping has produced nothing but salt water. At Durfee an attempt to prevent bad caving of the hole in order that drilling might continue has met with good results and the drilling is now going ahead at 1627 feet. Previous to the 1600 mark the soft sandy formation caved so bad that drilling progress was impossible. This was remedied by cementing up the walls. At Brea the Amalgamated is making excellent progress on its No.42 on the Anaheim property. Success in good measure has crowned the efforts of the Birch Co., under the able management of Joy Royer in the bringing in of No.14. This well has completed at 3975 and is now doing better than 400 barrels of clean oil. The well before completion was drilled thru some 300 feet of good oil sand and it is believed that the production will increase above this figure as soon as it gets to producing under normal conditions. The Brea Canyon Co. is now making preparations to put one of the best looking wells ever drilled in the Brea field on the beam. No.14 drilled to a depth of 3787 and after passing thru almost 500 feet of high grade oil sand is now being tubed and made ready to go on the beam. Owing to the strong showing the well has been making during the last 100 feet of drilling the well was swabbed in order to see if it would not flow. The gas pressure though strong was not heavy enough to maintain a connecting medium and it was thought best to put the well on the pump. The well is good for 500 pipe became fast in the hole and the present outlook for further progress seemingly depends on moving the rig and starting a new hole. The Central Oil Co. has No.60 drilling in open hole with the rotary and a location for No.61 has been made. The Five Star Co. commenced operations early in the week and have made several hundred feet of open hole with the rotary. The St. Helen's company is busy rigging up and will start drilling in a few days. The Tausig Co. is about rigged up on their No.1 and will start drilling before the end of the week. The Olinda Land Co. drilling in the extreme eastern end of the Brea field is making a very good showing. The company has two wells drilling and the progress being made on these is worthy of mention. At No.19 a difficult fishing job has been overcome and drilling is going ahead at 2100. No.21 a well that is being watched with special interest on account of its being located by Dr. Stark the foremost geologist of the state is drilling at 400 feet. The Tri State at La Habra has the second deepest well in the Brea field. The well now stands at 5595. At this depth the management has decided to suspend drilling for the time being and make a number of tests. The condition of the hole is such that should the tests fail to show an oil well the drilling can be resumed. It is understood that a number of encouraging showings were noticed as the well went down. At the depth where these showings were noted tests will be made. The Tri State well has become famous in the Brea field and represents the expenditure of a large sum of money. The West Coast Co. drilling in the Olinda field spudded in No.69 early in the week and is making a good surface drilling record with the rotary. The Union's La Merced No.4 that made such a spectacular showing a few weeks ago by coming in with a 5000 barrel flow is now reported settling down to a stable production of 700 barrel with the water content diminishing rapidly. Nos.2,8 and9 are other wells on this lease. The Union's Meyer lease well at Santa Fe Springs has been re-cemented at 3600 feet and is now standing. For the 16 fiscal years 1902 to 1917 inclusive, the expenses of the state government aggregated $221,336,410.34. This total may be classified as follows: Legislative ... $2,590,944 Executive ... 8,465,743 Judicial ... 6,601,276 Protection to person and property ... 8,335,773 Natural resources (conservation, etc.) ... 6,276,788 Health and sanitation ... 1,255,603 Public works, parks, etc... 18,330,937 Charities, hospitals and corrections ... 51,001,869 Education ... 103,844,135 Public expositions ... 5,572,907 Debt Service ... 8,237,200 Miscellaneous ... 823,219 From the foregoing it appears that for the 16 year period the 12 classes of expenditure, with respect to volume ranked in the following order, Education; charities, hospitals and correction; public works, parks, etc.; Executive offices and departments; protection to person and property; debt service (interest and expenses on bonds, but not redemption); Judicial; development and conservation of natural resources; public expositions; legislative, conservation of health and sanitation; 12 miscellaneous. These several classes of expenditures have not, in each instance, shown an increase in every year of the period, but the general trend has been one of steady and in some cases rapid increase. The average size of the back yard flock should be at least 10 hens. Thus each flock would produce in a year 100 dozens of eggs, which, at the conservative value of 25 cents a dozen, would be worth $25. But the 100 dozen is more important than the $25. After drilling to a depth of 3875 feet the Copa De Oro's well looked so good that the management were unable to resist the temptation of making a test. While the correspondent is unable to get in touch with the management before this report went to press he was informed that a swab had been delivered at the well, and this would indicate that there would be something doing. During the drilling of the last 100 feet the oil colors developed so strongly and the gas pressure was so noticeable that any one with any oil field knowledge would have reason to feel very optimistic over the outcome of the well. The General Petroleum made some very noticeable progress at Montebello during the month of June. This company now has three strings of tools running and is about to start two more. On the Alvitre property No. 1 is drilling at 1600. At No. 2 the boilers are being put up and drilling will start as soon as the rigging up is completed. On the Ralph lease No. 1 is drilling at 2350 and is making hole fast. On the Cruz lease a rig has been completed and rigging up work is face drilling record with the rotary. The Union's La Merced No. 4 that made such a spectacular showing a few weeks ago by coming in with a 5000 barrel flow is now reported settling down to a stable production of 700 barrel with the water content diminishing rapidly. Nos. 2, 8 and 9 are other wells on this lease. The Union's Meyer lease well at Santa Fe Springs has been re-cemented at 3600 feet and is now standing. The well looked rather good previous to the cementing and the re opening and drilling of the well will be watched with interest. A number of years ago two wells were drilled on this property but could not be finished on account of the great gas pressure that developed throwing the tools out of the hole and wrecking the rigs. The Standard met with the success that is commensurate with the name of the company on the Temple lease. No. 5 completed at a depth of 3002 feet is now flowing at the rate of 2100 barrels a day. On the Kraemer lease in the Brea field the Standard Oil Co. is making some good drilling progress considering the hardness of the formation. The depth is now 2437 and the formation is hard conglomerate. The Standard's test well on the Irvine tract at Newport is beginning to assume an interesting phase. The well is now drilling at 1550, some 500 feet of hole being the record for the week. The Standard is doing an unusual amount of development work in the Whittler field at present as can be Ford Owners THE HOLLEY VAPOR MANIFOLD FOR USING DISTILLATE WILL BE INSTALLED DURING THE REMAINDER OF THIS WEEK FOR $13.50, COMPLETE.

The completion depth was 2817. TAKE NOTICE John P. Carter, collector Sixth District of California stated today that all special taxes for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1918, should be paid to his office or before the close of business June 30, 1918, to avoid liability to penalty. The principal special taxes which must be paid provided any business is transacted after June 30, 1918, are as follows: retail liquor dealers, wholesale liquor dealers, doctors, dentists, druggists, hospitals, brokers, pawnbrokers, theater proprietors, proprietors of pool rooms, dealers in uncolored oleomargarine. Unless the special tax stamp, which is usually termed a license by the ordinary taxpayer is paid for by June 30th, the taxpayer is liable for penalty equal to the tax and in no case less than $10.00. Collector Carter expects to collect about $100,000 from this source in his district and he very much desires that there shall be no occasion for having to enforce the penalty above mentioned. Blank forms of application for special tax stamps have been mailed out from his office and if the taxpayer has not received such form he should immediately make application to the collector for same and upon receipt of said form send in remittance for the amount of tax shown to be due from the schedule on the back of the form. Remittances for tax must be in the form of cash, money order or certified check; no uncertified checks can be accepted for this tax.
