GREAT ACTIVITY AMONG THE DERRICKS HUNDRED AND TEN NEW WELLS NOW DRILLING ON THE SEVERAL OIL LEASES NEW COMPANY WILL SINK A TEST WELL IN SANDWASH, EAST OF ANAHEIM The oil field appears to be creeping closer to Anaheim, and now a test well is to be sunk in the ancient bed of the river. E. K. Benchley, of Fullerton, is heading a company that will enter the Kraemer field as soon as the organization can be perfected and arrangements made for the commencement of drilling a well. This new company will drill on what is known as the sand wash, east of Anaheim. Whether or not the oil sands of the Kraemer field extend as far west and south is a question that this new oil company will determine. The Standard Oil Company is meeting with some great drilling success at Kraemer. The cement has been drilled out of Kraemer No. 2 and the well is going fast with 2300 feet of hole. Some oil colors are the encouraging signs. Lock No. 1 is making hole at 2800 feet and indications are beginning to look pretty good. The Anaheim Union well of the Standard CIVIL WAR VETERANS MEET AT SANTA ANA Department Encampment to Be Held in That City in May The dates of May 13-17 were set by Commander O. H. Maryatt, of Sedgwick Post, G. A. R., as the time for holding the annual encampment of the G. A. R., department of California and Nevada. The encampment will be held in Santa Ana, and this city will for five days be host to between 5,000 and 6,000 people, including 700 Civil War veterans and their families. Appointment of a camp executive committee to have charge of all local arrangements for the affair was authorized, consisting of O. A. Maryatt, A. B. Paul, G. W. Rolf, P. E. Newman and W. J. Leiser. It is planned to absorb the delegates in local hotels, rooming houses, and private homes, with meals provided at local cating establishments with possibly a temporary G. A. R. cafe to accommodate all of the delegates. Five meeting places will be provided for the affiliated organizations, the G. A. R., W. R. C., Ladies of G. A. R., Daughters of Veterans, and Sons of Veterans. John H. Roberts of San Francisco is now commander of the department, having been elected at the Oakland encampment last year. This year, with the gathering held in the South, a southern man, probably from Los Angeles, will be elected commander for the ensuing year, according to the usual custom. TRUMPETER SWANS SEEN IN LOUISIANA The Standard Oil Company is meeting with some great drilling success at Kraemer. The cement has been drilled out of Kraemer No. 2 and the well is going fast with 2300 feet of hole. Some oil colors are the encouraging signs. Lock No. 1 is making hole at 2800 feet and indications are beginning to look pretty good. The Anaheim Union well of the Standard is making hole at 2935 feet and enough oil indications are present to make the well look promising. Kraemer No. 1 continues to put better than a hundred barrels of 25 gravity, clean oil into the tanks every day. The Amalgamated Oil Company completed the rigging up work on its Ibbitson No. 1 in the Kraemer field and started the week with 60 feet of hole. Prior to starting the oil well this company developed its own water by drilling a water well 90 feet deep with the rotary. The rotary tube was moved seven feet from the point located for the oil well and the water well drilled. Plenty of water for development work was located and the water problem was quickly solved. The Amalgamated Company's No. 42, on the Anaheim Union Water Company's lease, completed and put on the beam a week ago, has settled to a production of 150 barrels a day. Six years ago the property on which this well is located furnished all the gushers of the Brea field. Owing to the small producers now being brought in, and have been brought in for the past year, there is some doubt as to much further development work. The Amalgamated for the present will turn its attention to the new field now opening up east of Brea at Kraemer. Although the leasing activity around Newport is a feature of interest the final outcome of the field is considerably in doubt. A great deal depends on the success the Standard Oil Company will have on its deep Irvine well. This well has been re-cemented at 3400 feet and will stand for another week. The Liberty Petroleum Company's well, owned by an Anaheim company, is going rapidly to water. The well is making 250 barrels a day of fluid, of this amount only 60 barrels is oil. The Liberty is making preparations to locate this water and shut it off if possible. The company is also entertaining the idea of drilling a second and deeper well, thinking that the deep sand will yield a better quality of oil. TRUMPETER SWANS SEEN IN LOUISIANA New Orleans, Jan. 27.—A pair of very rare trumpeter swans, with a single young, are spending the winter on Bayou Sara creek, near St. Francisville. This was the latest society note in birddom received by the state department of conservation from Edward Butler, of West Feliciana parish, who is a noted bird observer and wild life protectionist of that section. The occurrence of a single individual of this species of waterfowl today is more than worthy of record, but the observation of a pair, with a cygnet in the characteristic gray plumage of the young, is a positive sensation in the bird world. The last trumpeter swan observed since Ernest Thompson Seton saw seven in the Saskatchewan in 1907, was when a big gander visited Louisiana state wild life refuge in the winter of 1915. It flew down to the preserve with a flock of Canada geese and in the spring went north with the wedge of geese. The officials of the department of conservation held high hopes that it would return the following winter with a Mrs. Swan and possibly a pair of cygnets. But contrary to these expectations the lone, and supposedly last member of its race, returned to the refuge unaccompanied by others of its species, and took up its winter residence on Fearman lake. During the month of February a resident of Abbeville passing through the refuge on a dredgeboat shot the bird "for curiosity" and taking it home enjoyed a dinner of "roast goose." This was the last record of a trumpeter swan being seen until Mr. Butler's startling news reached the office of the department. "No doubt you will be interested in learning that three trumpeter swans have been on Bayou Sara creek since late December," he wrote. "They are a pair with one young, the latter showing gray plumage. Every effort has been made to keep them from being molested, and it is gratifying to know that nearly every one seems to be interested in their welfare. They are usually found lofty inspiration, hope, and surely wise strive, that some, and the Nation has gained remain as enduring we trust we shall these solemn years individual souls which will possessions. "I have had occured letters written men of our army movements here and steamers which can rope, from hospital lines. These leeches and impress of a gift touched with a greet them in their sense and their expresses and touching beauty. "The boys who their way to look had just come from without flinching differently from seen them before or again. All the people believes, the conspire, had fallenized true meaning true proportions.

"These letters are true sense of these matters, of the raining as they do widest diversity of occupation and preme demonstration of the crucible whof of the irresistibly its appeal and spirit are brought within proof onclusive America; they are admonition for them." "They are spoon manifestations of latent in America stiffed, suppressed too often, ordinary routine forth eagerly in call. They ought and accessible as in a form which manent national their spirit may see American people." The Liberty Petroleum Company's well, owned by an Anaheim company, is going rapidly to water. The well is making 250 barrels a day of fluid, of this amount only 60 barrels is oil. The Liberty is making preparations to locate this water and shut it off if possible. The company is also entertaining the idea of drilling a second and deeper well, thinking that the deep sand will yield a better quality of oil. The Union Oil Company's Bastanchury No. 6, now drilling at 4825, is the deepest well now drilling in the Brea field and shows not even a sign of oil. The formation is blue shale and looks anything but encouraging. A string of 4½ inch pipe is being carried. The condition of the hole is good, the pipe free and indications that the well can be drilled to 5000 feet or more if necessary. Bastanchury No. 5, located half a mile north still stands cemented at 4458. At 4600 this well exhibited a fine showing of oil. An attempt is now being made to shut off bottom water, this done an oil well of 400 barrels' capacity is assured for No. 5. The Union Oil Company have been developing the Bastanchury property for the past six years and have met with little success. The property lies close to the Standard Oil Co.'s famous Murphy and looks as good as any oil property in the state. The Union Oil Company's wild cat well on the Chapman ranch is drilling with the rotary and is getting into condition fast. A string of 6¼ pipe has been put in, and will be carried as far as possible. A second shut-off of water will be made with this string and it is hoped that all the water difficulties encountered thus far will be taken care of successfully. Americans are the greatest water drinkers in the world. SINFUL CITY DYING Hopeville, Va., the "wickedest city," which arose out of nothing like a town of the Klondike three and a half years ago, has died a sudden death. The great powder mills are being dismantled. Forty thousand inhabitants of the town have begun an exodus. In a few months the cornfields from which the town sprang will be restored. Only stories of unbelievable vices and pistol duels will survive. The DuPonts built a $75,000,000 powder plant and Hopeville grew up with it in a few months. Cornfields sold for $20,000 an acre. Dance halls, gambling rooms and saloons brought desperate men into peter swan being seen until Mr. Butler's startling news reached the office of the department. "No doubt you will be interested in learning that three trumpeter swans have been on Bayou Sara creek since late December," he wrote. "They are a pair with one young, the latter showing gray plumage. Every effort has been made to keep them from being molested, and it is gratifying to know that nearly every one seems to be interested in their welfare. They are usually found below the bridge, but when disturbed by people passing too near they go in the direction of the Mississippi river." The appearance of these rare and interesting birds in the West Feliciana country calls to mind the fact that it was in this part of Louisiana, and particularly along Bayou Sara creek, that the great Audubon spent the most successful periods of his career as an artist preparing the drawing of wild birds that afterward won him fame and renown as the foremost bird artist of his time. Special efforts will be made by the department of conservation to see that these birds receive proper protection during their stay in Louisiana. They are also protected by the federal migratory bird law. A selection would say 500 letters, and lished in a volume the sale of which suitable purpose the war.

BOOK OF LETTERS FROM AMERICAN SOLDIERS Proposition to Preserve in Book Form 500 Letters From Front Otto H. Kahn, in addressing the Rutgers Alumni Association, proposed that steps be taken to preserve in book form 500 letters from American soldiers and sailors that best bespeak the American spirit of the war. Mr. Kahn said: "The book of American glory contains no nobler pages than those which record the superb heroism of our fighting men in the war now so happily concluded, and the passion of patriotic devotion which everywhere exalted the men and women of many races who make up America. "We have seen humanity at its highest and greatest. We may not indulge the hope that we shall be able permanently to maintain ourselves at the level of thought, feeling and action to which we were lifted by the force of a lofty inspiration. But we do earnestly hope, and surely we shall not fail to strive, that some, at least, of the things the Nation has gained spiritually will remain as enduring attainments. And we trust we shall find, many of us, as these solemn years recede, that in our individual souls we have stored up assets which will remain permanent possessions.

The dead are: Mrs. John Rodenberg, of Deschler, Neb. The injured are: Geo. Schnackenburg, his daughter Emma and son Emil, all of Orange. The dead couple had been married just a month and were on their honeymoon in Southern California. They had been the guests of the Schnackenburg family at Camp Baldy and were returning south on Mountain avehue to the Foothill boulevard. Just as they reached the corner, an automobile driven by Benjamin L. Gubser of No. 103 North Kinksley Drive, Los Angeles came upon the intersection from the west. At the same time a large gasoline and oil truck reached the intersection from the south. Frank Hayes, driver of the truck, saw the two machines, and realizing they were about to crash, stopped and shouted a warning. The drivers failed to hear him. The Schnackenburg car hit the rear of Gubser's car, shoving the latter over to a curb. Gubser was unhurt. At the moment of the impact Mr. and Mrs. Rodenburg were hurled over the top of the Gubser car into the steel-bound radiator of the truck. Schnackenburg and his son and daughter were crushed when their car rolled over and over. All three were given first aid by two army medical officers who were passing, while Hayes summoned aid. The injured were taken to the San Antonio hospital. It is believed they will STARTLING EFFECTS OF ANAHEIM RED LIQUOR One Drink Chases an Embezzler as Far Away as Montana The awful effects of booze on minds of a certain calibre was told by a man just returned to this county from Montana in charge of officers. He took a drink of booze in Anaheim and knew nothing about his subsequent actions until he found himself in San Francisco. The fact that he was carrying away another man's money had nothing to do with his flitting. That shot of Anaheim liquor chased him as far as Montana. Following is the story, according to the Register: Declaring that liquor was the cause of his troubles J. L. Kirby arrived from Great Falls, Mont., in charge of an officer. He is charged with the embezzlement of $950 paid to him in the sale of a Gary motor truck to William Duncan, a transfer man of this city. Kirby was here for a short time representing a Los Angeles firm that handles Gary trucks. Duncan was his first customer. An old Ford truck was taken in on the deal. Duncan says he paid $950 and turned in the old truck for the new Gary. The Los Angeles firm sued Duncan for possession of the Gary truck, declaring that Kirby had no authority to deliver the truck. "Booze is what got me into this mess," said Kirby. "Three drinks of whiskey make me irresponsible, and in a moment of weakness when I was over at Anaheim with a man I took a drink. When I came to a full realization of what I had done I was in San Francisco. I kept on going until I got to Montana, when I wrote to my wife at Graham Station, telling her I was coming back to face the music." It was But we do earnestly hope, and surely we shall not fail to strive, that some, at least, of the things the Nation has gained spiritually will remain as enduring attainments. And we trust we shall find, many of us, as these solemn years recede, that in our individual souls we have stored up assets which will remain permanent possessions. "I have had occasion to read numerous letters written by officers and men of our army from their cantonments here and abroad, from the steamers which carried them to Europe, from hospitals and from the fire lines. These letters bear the stamp and impress of a great time. They are touched with a great spirit. Some of them in their sentiment, their views, and their expressions are of exalted and touching beauty. "The boys who wrote them were on their way to look death in the face or had just come from encountering him without flinching. They saw things differently from what they had ever seen them before or will ever see them again. All the pettinesses, the make-believes, the congenialities of existence, had fallen away. They recognized true meanings, true values and true proportions. They were lifted out of and above themselves. Trings were revealed to them. They struck depths, they found words, they rose to heights which were not accessible to them before, and probably will not be accessible to them again. "These letters are not only in the true sense of the term human documents, of the rarest value, but emanating as they do from writers of the widest diversity of birth, upbringing, occupation and race, they are a supreme demonstration of the workings of the crucible which is America, and of the irresistibly compelling power of its appeal and spirit, upon those who are brought within its orbit. They are proof exclusive of the theory of America; they are both assurance and admonition for the future. "They are spontaneous and moving manifestations of the noble qualities latent in American youth, unknown, stiffed, suppressed or denied expression too often, unfortunately, in the ordinary routine of life, but leaping forth eagerly in response to a great call. They ought to be made known and accessible as widely as possible in a form which will make them permanent national possessions, so that their spirit may speak forever to the American people. "I should like, therefore, to throw Gubser's car, shoving the latter over to a curb. Gubser was unhurt. At the moment of the impact Mr. and Mrs. Rodenburg were hurled over the top of the Gubser car into the steel-bound radiator of the truck. Schnackenburg and his son and daughter were crushed when their car rolled over and over. All three were given first aid by two army medical officers who were passing, while Hayes summoned aid. The injured were taken to the San Antonio hospital. It is believed they will recover. The Schnackenburg car was driven by Miss Emma Schnackenburg. Gubser's car contained his wife, two children and a friend of the family who were on their way to Little Bear. Both machines were badly damaged. A son of Mr. Rodenburg is in the navy and stationed at San Diego, it is said. TOWNSHIP OFFICERS GET CUT IN SALARIES Anaheim Justice and Constable Will Receive Only $25 Per Month A lot of justicees of the peace of Orange county may not know it, but it is a fact that on the first Monday of this month their salaries were cut, reduced, decreased, slashed and otherwise manhandled. The high cost of living did not have anything to do with the slashing, but the county government act passed by the legislature two years ago did. The measure as put through at that time called for a re-classification of township pay in this county by which the compensation provided for a lot of justices and a few constables is changed considerably. The law provided for those changes to take effect on the first Monday of 1919. That blue Monday has arrived, and the time is now at hand for County Auditor W. C. Jerome to make out the monthly payroll of the county so far as that payroll is fixed by statute. Jerome has found that it takes a census bureau expert, a county statistician and a sage all combined into one person to know just what ought to be done. The law says that a justice in a township under 2500 shall be paid so much, between 2500 and 5000 so much, between 5000 and 6000 so much, between 6000 and 10,000 so much. These may not be the exact figures, but they run something like that. Jerome grabbed all the population data he could grab. He found that a few years ago a census was taken Booze is what got me into this mess," said Kirby. "Three drinks of whiskey make me irresponsible, and in a moment of weakness when I was over at Anaheim with a man I took a drink. When I came to a full realization of what I had done I was in San Francisco. I kept on going until I got to Montana, when I wrote to my wife at Graham Station, telling her I was coming back to face the music. It was through that letter that they got me. "I did not get $950 from Duncan. All I got from him was $50, a note for $900 with the agreement of sale attached, which I left in the upper right hand drawer of my desk, and the old truck. I sold the truck to someone here. I think he was a Swede. I don't remember his name. That money and the $50 from Duncan is all that I took. The evidence at the trial of the case for possession of the truck, in which case Duncan was winner, developed that Kirby's desk was searched, but there was no evidence to show the existence of the note and agreement. Duncan testified that he paid cash and got a bill of sale, which he testified was lost. Kirby's wife and baby are living with Mrs. Kirby's mother at Graham Station. THE CITRUS MARKET The Fruit World says: The market on California navels is sluggish as a result of the frost damage scare, but gives promise of early recovery when the shipping of high grade fruit is again in full swing. Packing houses in many of the districts are slowing down, preferring to await a more stable market before commencing active shipping again. Florida oranges are still moving in considerable volume, but are being held back somewhat by a shortage in packing material. Many California shippers feel that there is no reason why navel shipments should be hurried forward when Florida oranges are going out at the rate of from 100 to 150 cars daily. There are no new developments in the frost damage situation. Some of the fruit men feel that the damage will not run over 10 per cent, while others say 25 per cent and even higher. Water separators are being installed rapidly. F. o. b. quotations are on a basis of $3.50 to $3.75 on standard sizes. manifestations of the noble qualities latent in American youth, unknown, stifled, suppressed or denied expression too often, unfortunately, in the ordinary routine of life, but leaping forth eagerly in response to a great call. They ought to be made known and accessible as widely as possible in a form which will make them permanent national possessions, so that their spirit may speak forever to the American people. "I should like, therefore, to throw out the suggestion whether a scheme roughly on the following lines might not be found practicable: "A national committee to be constituted, composed of a small number of distinguished and eminently qualified men. This committee would invite those who have received soldiers' letters which they believe to be not worthy in the sense I have tried to indicate, to send such letters or copies of them to sub-committees designated for each state. "A selection would then be made, of say 500 letters, and these would be published in a volume, the proceeds from the sale of which, would go to some suitable purpose commemorative of the war. (Or, instead of one national committee, it might be found appropriate to have the governor of each state appoint a committee and have each state publish a volume of letters from its sons." "Such a volume—a 'golden book' in truth—would be a fitting memorial for our noble dead, and an inspiration and a solemn admonition for those now living and for generations who will come after them." To conserve bird life for economic as well as sentimental reasons, the Canadian government is offering prizes to school children for birdhouses and photographs of birds in their habitat. Jerome grabbed all the population data he could grab. He found that a few years ago a census was taken of Anaheim and Fullerton townships, but the findings were merely that each has a population of over 5000. All he could do was follow the law and the records, and if any justice of the peace or constable doesn't believe the classification should stand he may be able to persuade the board of supervisors to order a special census for his satisfaction. As Jerome finds the records, the salaries of the justices of the peace and constables of Fullerton and Anaheim are reduced from $50 a month to $25, and of Placentia and Huntington Beach from $25 to $10. The justices of Laguna Beach, Seal Beach, Tustin, La Habra and Brea townships drop from $25 a month to $10. The constables of those townships were already getting $10 a month, and under the law passed two years ago and effective this month, they continue to get $10. It is generally conceded that Orange county has a lot more townships than it needs. As a matter of facts and figures, over 95 per cent of the township business of the county is transacted in the Santa Ana township court. Most of the justices whose salaries hae been cut will not be underpaid. Aside from Santa Ana, perhaps the township court that has most to do is that at Anaheim, which, however, under the new classification, get a reduction for both justice and constable.

Valencias are expected to run about 14,000 cars.. Later developments may materially change these figures. Commissioner Collins, of Tulare county, estimates that there will be a loss of from 40 to 50 per cent of the Valencia crop in that county. The orchards of the lower lands suffered the heaviest losses. The market on California lemons is in good shape, the volume of business being done being far in excess of the average at this season of the year. Prices also compare favorably with the average winter month prices. From $4 to $4.50 delivered is the prevailing price at this time for good stock. Considerable frozen in transit fruit has sold during the past two weeks that has pulled down the average price.

Armstrong from Washington, D.C. Secretary of Commerce Redfield has received a cable from Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board saying that from now on rates on ocean tonnage, particularly trans-Pacific business, would be such as to permit American merchants and manufacturers to compete with similar enterprise in foreign lands. Some time ago Secretary Redfield undertook to have the Shipping Board reduce the trans-Pacific rates to enable railroad supply makers of the United States to ship cars and locomotives to far eastern points, but was unsuccessful and finally appealed to Mr. Hurley by cable. The answers received will enable this and other lines of business to fill orders and develop markets in the Orient and elsewhere, particularly South America. President Wilson has assigned $100,000 to the Department of Commerce for the purpose of developing new trade and market centers abroad and several special trade commissioners are to be appointed. Some of these will go to the Orient and the Far East and others to South America and neutral countries in Europe. Part of this campaign was indicated in the appointment of Henry F. Grady to investigate the banking and international credits in London. Department of Commerce officials invite the co-operation of commerce bodies in pushing local products into MAKING PREPARATIONS TO INCREASE CAPACITY Exchange Orange Products Company Will Build Two New Plants Directors of the Exchange Orange Products Company, formerly the Crawford marmalade factory, met at the plant in this city last Friday and decided to move the offices to Los Angeles. In addition to the plants at Anaheim and San Dimas the company is preparing to build two more, and is also installing equipment to double the capacity of the Anaheim factory. One of the new plants will be built at Ontario and the other at Toronto, Canada. The new factory at San Dimas now uses 35,000 pounds of fruit per day, and the Anaheim factory will be increased to the same. The Ontario institution will be larger, using 50,000 pounds per day. The three combined will consume 120,000 pounds of oranges each day and employ 400 people. Regarding the San Dimas plant, a Los Angeles paper on Tuesday said: "With its accomplishments running up into astonishing figures, the big marmalade factory in San Dimas, operated for the purpose of caring for the cull oranges and lemons, which were formerly thrown onto the dump heap, is now operating at full blast. "The concern is working in conjunction with the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, and is absorbing the culls from Pomona, Claremont, Ontario, Upland, Covina, Glendora and other parts of the district. It has been turning out the marmalade at the rate of 30,000 glasses per day. This rate of production is expected to be maintained for months to come. "Thomas Crawford, manager of the factory, states that three-quarters of a million dollars worth of marmalade will be turned out this year. The plant was opened for business only a few months ago. Employment is given to 200 persons, with a pay roll of about $8,000 per month. "To fill 30,000 glasses, it requires 16,000 pounds of marmalade, or eight tons of the product. This is all made from the oranges. The entire product of the factory is shipped to New York, Chicago and Boston." J. P. Baumgartner, of Santa Ana, has been appointed on the advisory comforter of the purpose of developing trade and market centers abroad and several special trade commissioners are to be appointed. Some of these will go to the Orient and the Far East and others to South America and neutral countries in Europe. Part of this campaign was indicated in the appointment of Henry F. Grady to investigate the banking and international credits in London. Department of Commerce officials invite the co-operation of commerce bodies in pushing local products into new world markets and will encourage business houses in developing new lines of trade. They Say That a number of citizens were preparing a petition protesting the granting of a license to a carnival company, but the manager of the show beat them to it and had the permit tucked away in his inside pocket before the protesting citizens got steam up. There are many people who do not approve of carnivals for many reasons. Sometimes in some concessions timid patrons carry smoked glasses with them in order that their eyesight may not become impaired. Usually carnivals take away a lot of money, but it is said recently they have encountered frosts and business was not up to standard. When it comes to noise the spiellers take the whole bakery, and the "music" produced at the merry-go-round is just about the limit—usually consisting of 49 verses all of the same variety—and calculated to give you the willies. When the new license ordinance comes up for revision many citizens are of opinion that the fee should be placed at a figure that would give the promoters the scarce of their lives. Several local men who have amassed enough of a fortune to possess an auto have gone up against the stern arm of the law, having been accused of improper parking of their gas wagons.
