In its eagerness to prevent the waste of many millions through the purchase of impossible and unnecessary camps in the South, Congress has imperiled the permanency of Camp Kearny and the purchase of the site of Camp Ross, the balloon school at Arcadia in the immediate future. In the army appropriation bill a clause was added prohibiting the expenditure of any money carried in the bill or an unexpected balance of previous appropriation acts for the supply of the army from being used for the purchase of real estate. This was aimed directly at the great leak in the South where purchases of almost worthless property was contemplated by the War Department. But in stopping the leak some of the smaller sites like the balloon school and others were caught in the swell and it will require some special legislation to enable the government to go ahead with the permanent plans for the Arcadia school and the continuation of Camp Kearny as a permanent training ground for the soldiers of the United States. Conferences have been held between Julius Kahn, chairman of the House Military Committee, Congressman Osborne and Congressman Kettner to protect the interest of Southern California in these two great projects and it is believed a way will be found to permit the continued utilization of both, according to the original programme without interruption or decrease in scope. Camp Kearny has such splendid records and is so favorably regarded by all the commanding generals who have been stationed there and the climatic conditions are so unusually favorable that the War Department is anxious to retain this plant. Congress however, true to the promise of the Republican party, is cutting appropriations and every project which is to be retained must pass the closest scrutiny. If camp Kearny is to be retained it will be because the county, and city of San Diego carry out the origin court to duplicate the department 1 court room in size and furnishings. In order to accomplish this result, several partitions will be torn down, others moved, a jury room will be added with lavatories for both men and women so that upon occasion women may be made members of juries. The plan is for County Superintendent of Schools R. P. Mitchell to move his office elsewhere, probably to the McCormac block. Mitchell's present offices will then be occupied by District Attorney L. A. West, as a large part of the space occupied by West's present office will be utilized in the enlargement of department 2. WARSHIPS FOR PACIFIC From San Diego to Seattle, the whole Pacific Coast rejoices because, for the first time in the history of the United States navy, it is proposed to give the west coast a fair division of ships. Not only proposed, but orders making effective the division of the naval forces into two fleets of equal strength have been issued by the navy department. Heretofore all the first-class ships have been kept on the Atlantic side of the continent, and our Pacific fleet was composed of superannuated craft of obsolete type just about ready for the junk-heap—and few of them at that. But now we are to have a Pacific fleet worthy of this side of the United States and the ocean which it faces. Our fleet will be commanded by Rear Admiral Hugh Rodman and will have its divisions of dreadnaughts, cruisers and destroyers attended by auxiliary ships for repair, supply and dispatch. Latest figures available show that the United States navy is composed of 40 battleships, 32 cruisers, 125 destroyers, 63 submarines, 79 mine-layers and sweepers, 17 torpedo boats, 33 gunboats, attended by 53 tugs; 51 supply vessels, 15 tenderers and 3 hospital ships. Excepting the warships which constitute the Asiatic fleet and the vessels which are assigned to foreign stations, we are to have half of the above force assigned to the Pacific. Excellent results will follow the establishment of this formidable fleet on... by all the commanding generals who have been stationed there and the climatic conditions are so unusually favorable that the War Department is anxious to retain this plant. Congress however, true to the promise of the Republican party, is cutting appropriations and every project which is to be retained must pass the closest scrutiny. If camp Kearny is to be retained it will be because the county, and city of San Diego carry out the original plan to present the United States free of all expenses-6000 acres of land for military purposes. This has not yet been done, but that action, combined with some hard work and prompt action in Congress, will probably save Camp Kearny as a military post and make it one of the institutions of Southern California. It is understood here that San Diego county and the city are ready to vote the bonds and carry out the contract if the government will accept the site and agree to maintain thereon a permanent military establishment. All the Congressmen interested are keenly alive to the possibility of War Department inertia in permitting this great training ground to lapse into an inactive post if something is not promptly done to counteract it. ALTERATIONS AT COURT HOUSE Plan and specifications for alterations on the second floor of the courthouse to cost possibly in the neighborhood of $5000 have been approved by the Board of Supervisors, and a call for bids for the work has been issued, bids to be opened on July 10 at 11 a.m. The proposed work includes enlargement-of-department-2-of-the-Superior 40 battleships, 32 cruisers, 125 destroyers, 63 submarines, 79 mine-layers and sweepers, 17 torpedo boats, 33 gunboats, attended by 53 tugs; 51 supply vessels, 15 tenders and 3 hospital ships. Excepting the warships which constitute the Asiatic fleet and the vessels which are assigned to foreign stations, we are to have half of the above force assigned to the Pacific. Excellent results will follow the establishment of this formidable fleet on this coast. It will be inspiring to popular pride and patriotism, it will familiarize us with the ships, the officers and the men, and it will involve the increase of docking facilities and the enlargement of naval bases at various harbors along the coast, of which Los Angeles will be one of the most important. ENLARGED NAVAL PLANS "While I do not expect to see it done in the extra session, I am hopeful that Congress in the regular session will enlarge the naval facilities on the Pacific coast," said Representative Osborne of California. "If a large fleet is to be kept in the Pacific, as has been promised, then it is essential that adequate provision be made for yards, docks, repair shops and the like. A commission of the Navy Department, known as the Helm commission has recommended such improvements and I believe Congress will be well disposed toward them." Mr. Osborne called attention to the fact that of 24 graduated as star men at Annapolis this year 6 were from the Pacific coast. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance.

The Santa Fe's operations are now centered on the Bradford property, No. 1 shows 700 feet of hole, No. 2 800 and No. 3 600 feet. The Standard's Anaheim Union well is now drilling at 4040. The formation is a hard sand, and is showing no oil. The prospects for the well do not look very encouraging. Lock No. 1, on property adjoining is still standing at 3800 feet, awaiting the outcome of the deep well. On account of the excellent appearance of the sand found in the Standard's Kramer 1-3, the drilling has been resumed at 2700 feet, and at 2700 the present depth, the good looking sand continues. The well will continue drilling until a change in the formation is noted. The drilling out of the cement and an exhaustive test of the Standard's Kraemer 2-1, shows the water to be shut off completely. Drilling on the well resumed at 2450, and the week's report shows a 100 feet of new hole made. A Kraemer 2-2 hard digging was struck at 1600 feet and only a 100 feet of hole was made last week, bringing the depth of the hole down to producing and a successful well will open up almost an entirely new field. In addition to the starting of a well on the Chapman home place, the drilling program of the Union Oil Company calls for the starting of these other new wells. The new wells are to be known as McFadden No. 1, Towell Investment No. 1 and Dickson No. 1. PARTIALITY IS CHARGED IN SOLDIER BENEFITS National Army Lieutenant Gets $15 Per Month for Lost Arm Regular Receives $157. Unfairness by the War Department in adopting a system of unequal benefits to regular and national army officers wounded in the service of their country has been charged by Representative Stevenson, of Illinois, in a speech in the House. "I want," he said, "to direct the attention of Congress to an injustice, it seems to me, in providing for the disabled soldiers of the National Army. I was out at Walter Reed Hospital yesterday and saw a young man from my country, a first lieutenant, who had lost his arm. He called my attention to the fact that he was certified as being fifty per cent disabled and was entitled, therefore, to one half the pay of a private, or $15 per month. He was in the National Army. He was a man with a business which was worth $2,500 a year to him. He went into a training camp. He got to be first lieutenant, and in the Argonne Forest he lost his arm just at the shoulder, and is now entitled to $15 a month as compensation. "On the other hand, a first lieutenant who is in the Regular Army—and this is where the injustice that prevailed before the war was still high at the end of the quarter, but not high enough to offset the general decrease in the tenor of the ore immediately available and the high cost of mining and treatment." ORANGE COUNTY AND THE HIGHWAY BOND ACT Not only will the average business man of Orange County profit by the building of the roads contemplated by the State Highway Bond Act, but the agricultural communities will also reap substantial benefits through the measure. Orange county has made a name for itself in many lines of agricultural industry and the list of produce raised is both large in value and impressive in variety. Among the products of the county may be mentioned apples, asparagus, barley, beans, beets, blackberries, butter, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, chile peppers, corn, eggs, grapes, hay, honey, lemons, oranges, olives, peaches, (exported) plums, potatoes, poultry, raisins, seeds, strawberries, sweet corn, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, watermelons, and other vegetables. Good roads give the farmers greater opportunities for marketing this produce, and at times when the markets are most profitable. If the highways contemplated in this Act only came to the borders of Orange county to join with its own county highway system, it would fully justify an unanimous affirmative vote for the measure in this county. But the bill provides special and distinct projects which affect the county directly. These projects, and especially the Coast Highway, come home to every voter in Orange county. Trunk line roads inevitably bring tourist travel into every county they enter. The drilling out of the cement and an exhaustive test of the Standard's Kraemer 2-1, shows the water to be shut off completely. Drilling on the well resumed at 2450, and the week's report shows a 100 feet of new hole made. A Kraemer 2-2 hard digging was struck at 1600 feet and only a 100 feet of hole was made last week, bringing the depth of the hole down to 1750. The Collins well, drilling on adjoining property, shows 2850 feet of hole and drilling in hard sand and blue shale. The Union's Chapman No. 1 had to be drilled out clear to the bottom before it would start producing again. Early Sunday morning the drill reached the bottom and the well came back with all its old-time force. The oil is coming continuously and quietly, the output running better than 3100 a day. Fifteen feet of new hole was made, the pipe was perforated, putting the well in the best producing condition it has ever been in. After giving the heaviest tools ever used in the field a thorough test in the drilling of hard sand and conglomerate, the Union is replacing them with the rotary at Chapman No. 2. The big bits drilled a good hole, but seemed to make slow progress. At first it was thought that the big two ton bits would crack up the conglomerate and pulverize it in a manner that would lead the way to fast drilling in hard formations. However, such was not the case. Chapman No. 3 is rigging up the rotary and No. 3 is building rig. The Fullerton Oil Company is making preparations to put its Travis, No. 1, on the beam. The well stopped drilling at 2650, having shown oil in all formations from 2300 on. This well is cast of the Standard's Kraemer 1 property and will test out the eastern boundary of the Yorba Linda field. The log of the well shows a striking similarity in the formation to the Standard's original Kraemer, now doing better than a 100 barrels. Operators continue to look to the southern part of Orange county in the hope of opening up new oil fields. The latest move is the leasing of the Robinson ranch on what is known as the half the pay of a private, or $15 per month. He was in the National Army. He was a man with a business which was worth $2,500 a year to him. He went into a training camp. He got to be first lieutenant, and in the Argonne Forest he lost his arm just at the shoulder, and is now entitled to $15 a month as compensation. "On the other hand, a first lieutenant who is in the Regular Army—and this is where the injustice appears—in the same ward suffered the same way and is retired at three-fourths his pay, which amounts to about $157 per month. Very naturally the distinction between the man who went into the National Army and who suffered exactly the same disability and was given $15 a month and the man who was put on at $157 a month is bound to raise considerable criticism and properly so. In the same hospital there is a colonel who lost his leg. He certified at about fifty per cent disability and is given $15 a month compensation, half of a soldier's pay. A colonel in the regular army who has the same disability is retired at around $325 a month. That is a condition that is arising everywhere, and the House is going to be confronted with a pretty persistent demand from those who have been in the National Army to bring about some appearance of justice as between the men who served in the National Army and the men in the Regular Army. "With the privates it is practically all the same. I remember the enthusiasm with which we were sought to put everybody on an equality in this matter of compensation, and by which a private and an officer were placed on the same equality. But if you do that and cannot put the Regular Army officer on the same plane, you have done a great injustice to the man who went into the National Army." QUICKSILVER PRODUCTION According to figures compiled by F.L.Ransome, of the United States Geological Survey, about 5,960 flasks of quicksilver of 75 pounds net, was produced in the United States from January 1 to March 31, inclusive, 1919. Returns from 23 productive mines gave a total of 5,924 flasks, and it is estimated that 36 flasks was obtained from two or three small mines in California and Oregon whose operators were not heard from. Of the 5,960 Act only came to the borders of Orange county to join with its own county highway system, it would fully justify an unanimous affirmative vote for the measure in this county. But the bill provides special and distinct projects which affect the county directly. These projects, and especially the Coast Highway, come home to every voter in Orange county. Trunk line roads inevitably bring tourist travel into every county they enter. Believing the Act to be the greatest piece of legislation for the general good ever offered the public, the Automobile Club of Southern California urges all of its members and friends to support the State Highway Bond Issue with all their power. For many years, the question of building a highway along the coast through Orange county has been uppermost in the minds of a very large number of people residing in that section, and the $40,000,000.00 bond issue, not only provides for the building of such a highway through Orange county, but continues same along the coast through Los Angeles county, connecting all of the beach cities and towns, and on through Ventura county to Oxnard, where the Coast Route of the State Highway is joined. That this road will prove to be another trunk line pouring volumes of traffic to and through Orange county, there can be no question. The voters of Orange county should also take cognizance of the fact that the completion of the road from San Diego to the Imperial Valley, and from the Imperial Valley to Yuma, will mean that a large volume of traffic entering the State at more northerly points will come in over these roads when built, and this travel must pass to and through Orange county. These special items and the general advantages which will accrue to the people of the county through the passage of the Act should make the vote in Orange county a solid "Yes" for the bill on July 1st next, and it is to be hoped the voters will turn out to register that vote without a single stay-at-home. "FATIMA" FOUND AT SEAL BEACH Remember Fatima, the dancer who brought fame to the Midway Plaisance at the Chicago World's Fair and then disappeared? Of course you do, if you're old enough to remember the Chicago Fair at all. For Fatima was Operators continue to look to the southern part of Orange county in the hope of opening up new oil fields. The latest move is the leasing of the Robinson ranch on what is known as the Trabuca mesa. Three prominent Santa Ana business men headed by Frank Hoyland, an operator of experience, plan to commence drilling on the property in the next two weeks. The property consists of more than 500 acres and has all been secured for oil development purposes. It is understood that a number of geologists of reputation have examined the Robinson ranch and have passed on it favorably. Chas. C. Chapman has leased what is known as his home place to the Union Oil Company. The property consists of 190 acres now producing some of the finest oranges in the famous Placentia district. The terms of the lease to the Union Oil Company for oil development specify that the drilling shall commence at once, and already the Union has started preparations for the work. The property lies about three miles east of the city of Fullerton, and has been the signal for much leasing of lands in this vicinity and as far south as Anaheim. It seems that several parties have had the Chapman home ranch under consideration for some little time, and while the others were doing the figuring the Union Oil Company stepped in and took the property. This property is three miles from anything pro- According to figures compiled by F. L. Ransome, of the United States Geological Survey, about 5,960 flasks of quicksilver of 75 pounds net, was produced in the United States from January 1 to March 31, inclusive, 1919. Returns from 23 productive mines gave a total of 5,924 flasks, and it is estimated that 36 flasks was obtained from two or three small mines in California and Oregon whose operators were not heard from. Of the 5,960 flasks produced 4,023 flasks is credited to California, 1,698 flasks to Texas, 193 flasks to Oregon, and 46 flasks to Nevada. No production was reported from Idaho or Arizona. The quicksilver reported on hand at the mines or in transit to market at the end of the quarter amounted to 4,419 flasks. As was expected, the output during the first quarter of 1919 was considerably less than that during the first quarter of 1918, which was 8,764 flasks. The decrease was 2,804 flasks. The unsold stocks at the end of the first quarter of 1918 amounted to 2,800 flasks, or 1,619 flasks less than at the end of the first quarter of 1919. The average monthly price of quicksilver in San Francisco, as quoted in the Mining and Scientific Press, for January was $103.75, for February $90.00, and for March $72.80. The falling off in production is the result of a combination of causes, chief among which were a lessened demand for the metal and a consequent downward trend of prices, the continued high cost of labor and supplies, and the curtailment of underground exploration and development during the war, when energy was directed chiefly to immediate production. The price of quicksilver compared with the prices bill on July 1st next, and it is to be hoped the voters will turn out to register that vote without a single stay-at-home. "FATIMA" FOUND AT SEAL BEACH Remember Fatima, the dancer who brought fame to the Midway Plaisance at the Chicago World's Fair and then disappeared? Of course you do, if you're old enough to remember the Chicago Fair at all. For Fatima was all the rage at Cairo. When Chicago society wanted a thrill, it went to Cairo on the Midway to see Fatima dance. And how she could dance! She was the first to introduce to this country the Dance du Ventre, or the "Houtch" as it was called in the vernacular. Often as she danced she was showered with gold pieces by enraptured spectators. And the Syrians who managed her waxed in weath. Then, as stated, Fatima disappeared and the world wondered and guessed and quarreled as to where she was gone. Fatima has been found. Old-looking though probably not yet 50, she is telling fortunes at Seal Beach. At first when accused of her identity, she denied it. Then, when the point was pressed, she admitted she was the once famous dancer and from an old trunk brought forth photographs and newspaper clippings of the sensation she was twenty-six years ago. Only quarter of a century, but what a change! AN HONOR ROLL Advices received by G. A.

This honor roll is to be compiled by each district, being made up from local reports wherein the activities of citizens are made a matter of record. Following is the request as issued by Harold Braddock, Director of Savings Division, Treasury Department: "We are collecting for the permanent records of the Treasury Department a list of names of citizens who are actively interested in the government campaign of thrift education. "Will you please compile for your district a list of a hundred or so of the most active and influential persons who are actively engaged in furthering the Thrift and War Savings Stamp idea? In making up this list please consider the preachers, priests and speakers who are using their influence in favor of the thrift movement; business men who are fostering it among their employees; educators who are active in its encouragement; leaders in fraternal and labor organizations who are for the movement, etc." If the day of individual opportunity, such as our fathers had, is gone, and we are left desolate, something ought to be done about it. The first thing to be done is to find out the facts. The first fact is that the total wealth of the United States is somewhere around $200,000,000,000. The next fact is that every year sees produced in this country alone a tremendous volume of new wealth. Economists call it "net income." It means what we produce above what we need to keep going. Last year it was over eighteen billion dollars. This was abnormal, but we may reasonably estimate that in the next fifteen years the new wealth produced will be as great as the present total wealth of the nation. There is one way to get your share and that is by hanging to the part of it that comes your way, and investing it. The government has issued the best national security, Savings Stamps, in denominations within everyone's reach, and they bear high interest. But this way is too easy for some, who think the horrors of anarchy would be better.
