COST OF MAINTAINING SCHOOLS OF COUNTY Superintendent Mitchell Gives Interesting Figures in Annual Report. Some interesting figures regarding the schools of Orange county are given in the annual report of County Superintendent R. P. Mitchell, just completed for the fiscal year ending June 30, and forwarded to the State Board of Education. The report discloses the fact, for instance, that the average cost per kindergarten pupil for the year was $47.03; for the elementary student, $49.47, and for the high school student, $161.40. The total cost of all county schools was $752,625.11. There were 23 kindergarten teachers, 289 elementary teachers, and 132 high school teachers employed during the year. The average yearly salary of kindergarten teachers was $701.67; the average salary of elementary teachers, all women, was $819.46, and the average salaries of high school teachers were as follows: men, $1677.57; women, $1349.41. The average daily attendance for kindergarten schools was 372 and the total kindergarten cost was $17,497.41, an average per pupil of $47.03. The average daily attendance for elementary schools was 7,115 and the total cost $399,568.50, or an average cost of $49.47. Santa Ana's figures were 1707 for average attendance and $89,257.94 for the cost, an average of $52.28 per pupil. The average daily attendance for county high schools, which includes the Junior College and Night School departments, was 1968 and the total cost $335,568.80, an average cost of $161.40 per pupil. Santa Ana high had an average attendance of 809 and a cost of $96,061.22, including $2669.37 for building and repairs, an average cost per pupil of $118.74, the lowest in the county. The average cost of Fullerton High after deducting $36,190 spent for buildings, was $187.78 per pupil, the highest cost of county high schools. The Fullerton figures are, average daily attendance, 442; total cost, including $36,190.32 for buildings, $119,188.37. Anaheim had an attendance of 279 and a total expense of $38,143.90, of which $297.88 was spent for repairs. The bandits will simply break up into smaller units and will therefore operate over a wider area, extending the guerilla warfare. The fact that the American government was becoming aroused over the situation is believed to have in fluenced the announcement that Villa and Angeles had disbanded their forces. It may be that this announcement itself is merely a blind intended to throw dust in the eyes of official Washington, where the situation is now recognized to have pased to a stage intolerable if American dignity is to be maintained among the nations and the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine is to be upheld. The revelations made by Ambassador Fletcher before the house rules committee have caused wide comment and keen indignation. That 218 Americans have been murdered below the border and no Mexican slayer has been brought to justice, is a fact which has stirred the entire country and demands action are being made on all sides. Fletcher himself, however, does not apear to be in favor of a definite stand by America. He believes he says, that Carranza would do the right thing if he had the power. Forced under fire of direct questioning, however, Fletcher admitted that Carranza did not appear to possess the power and that the general condition throughout Mexico was extremely bad, with life and property constantly in danger, particularly those of foreigners. General Obregon has formally declined the invitation of Gen. Rable Gonzales to sign a pact not to resort to revolution in case of defeat at the coming presidential elections. said advices from Mexico City received today through official channels.

Since Judge Z. B. West and Judge R. Y. Williams had not expected raises at this time and since they are assured that they won't get raises, the question ought to be considered settled. The last legislature passed measures under which the salaries of superior judges in Butte, Inyo, Lassen, Monterey, Orange, Plumas, San Mateo, San Louis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Venture, and Imperial counties were raised, most of them $1,000 a year. The salary of each of the superior judges of this county was raised from $4,000 a year to $5,000. The judges took the view that there was no question but that the raises would not be effective until the beginning of new terms a year from next January. Since the state pays half of a superior judge's salary, State Controller Chambers wanted the matter settled, so that no superior judge might quarrel with him about it. He passed the question up to Attorney General Webb, and Webb ruled that the salaries are not effective during the present terms of office. However, a second judgeship in Imperial county, for which an appointment has not yet been made, will carry a higher salary than that to be received by the incumbent as the judge in the same court.

The Riverview has a rig going up on the Bennet farm, a seventy-acre tract half a mile south of the Union's Chapman well. The location is considered promising, and the work will be rushed as fast as possible. In keeping with the field operations of all concerns in this new field, the Santa Fe met with a fishing job on the Bradford No. 1. Fortunately the bit lost in the hole was recovered after little effort, and drilling is now going ahead again at 735 feet. Bradford No. 2 is making hole in the blue shale at 1080 feet. Ddrilling at Bradford No. 3 still continues in the clay, the log shows 770 feet. The Standard's Anaheim Union lease well is 4225 feet deep, the formation is blue shale with no oil showings whatever. This well is now the deepest well in the Yorba Linda district and is giving this locality something of a discouraging outlook. Lock No. 1 an adjoining well, still stands idle awaiting the outcome of the Anaheim well. Lock No. 2 is drilling at 1500 feet. On the original Kraemer property at Yorba Linda, the Standard is starting considerable work. Just recently wells No. 5 and 6 were located and rig lumber for these is going on the ground. Well No. 4 is rigging up and will start drilling this week. ANNOUNCEMENT Beginning Friday, August of North Orange County will be doors for business at 9 A.M. and Saturdays from 9 A.M. to 12 at First National Bank of Anaheim American Savings Bank of Anaheim Golden State Bank of Anaheim On the original Kraemer property at Yorba Linda, the Standard is starting considerable work. Just recently well No. 5 and 6 were located and rig lumber for these is going on the ground Well No. 4 is rigging up and will start drilling this week. Across from the Union's gusher the Standard Oil Company's Kraemer 2-1 has completed drilling by lost drill pipe and is now making new hole at 2760 feet. The well is beginning to show up pretty good, and it undoubtedly will be the second big gusher of the new field. A month more and the well will be completed. The Diamond Oil Company's test well on Rideout Heights has resumed drilling and will be carried some 200 feet deeper. At 170 feet the well was tested out and should be a 100-barrel well. A deeper hole is expected to make a better showing. On the Strong property adjoining the Diamond Co. has about finished rigging up. The Union Oil Company's Chapman No. 1 is now the greatest well in the state of California. This wonderful well has been steadily increasing during the past week until now it has got up to 4600 barrels. Very few big wells have been known to increase their output after starting. Generally the production falls. A couple of weeks ago the Chapman well was making 3600, and the rise to 4600 barrels is one of the wonders of the California field. The quality of the oil is standing the same, and is coming free from sand or water. This tremendous volume of oil is coming through a 1½ opening, and a gas pressure of 275 lbs. is being maintained on the casing head with ease. The great flow of oil is accompanied by 2 million feet of gas daily that is rich in gasoline. The gas is coming in very handy in the extensive development work the Union is doing all around the great well. The wonderful showing of Chapman No. 1 is spurring the Union Oil Company on with a big development program. Chapman No. 2 a fishing job is holding the work up at 1200 feet. A twist off left almost 400 feet of pipe SMUGGLING MONEY OUT OF GERMANY Switzerland and the Scandinavian countries at present house a vast treasure in German and Austrian securities. Their worth can only be guessed at, but it is estimated that they run into many millions of dollars. These securities have been smuggled out of Austria and Germany against the time when their owners would have to help pay the German war indemnities. Because of the movement of these valuable papers, the German government made strong complaint in the course of the peace negotiations. It pointed out that a vast sum of money had gone out of the country, which, without the aid of the entente in recovering, probably could not be reached. The securities were taken out by wealthy men who desired to escape their share of the burdens arising from peace payments. In some cases, airplanes were used to take out great stores of securities. In other cases directly under the armistice, it was possible for the wealthy to pack up their tangible assets and move quietly into Switzerland, or some other neutral country, where the securities were safely stowed away out of the reach of the German government. Only today there came news from Vienna of a considerable movement of Austrian and Hungarian paper out cess of wealthy Germans, with their fortunes makes money flow rather freely. Switzerland has been for some time the playground of Europe, owing to the closing of other resorts on account of the war. It is now necessary to obtain special permits to enter the county for pleasure or business purposes. PREPARING FOR HUNTERS Deputies of the Fish & Game Commission have covered Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, the western part of Kern, and such other counties farther up the coast as allow deer-hunting August first, which comes tomorrow. The State wardens, co-operating with Federal Forest Service rangers, and local authorities, have been busy posting the changed boundaries of the Sespe Game Refuge, and in general, making the most elaborate preparations ever known. It is taken for granted that the hunting season of 1919 will be a record breaker in the way of interest shown, whether the kill of bucks exceeds the average or not. The great number of riflemen going into the hills in this driest of dry seasons imposes extraordinary demands upon the vigilance of fish, game and forest wardens to hold down the careless, lest does and fawns die in defiance of law, and even worse, that fires be started to destroy the timber. ported $10,566 year.

GREAT WAR EXECUTION Twenty-five a half-pound woman and is what that according to nia Walnut. Last year a record-breaking increase in play a part crop, as do conditions T. Webber; Growers' great flow of oil is accompanied by 2 million feet of gas daily that is rich in gasoline. The gas is coming in very handy in the extensive development work the Union is doing all around the great well. The wonderful showing of Chapman No. 1 is spurring the Union Oil Company on with a big development program. Chapman No. 2 a fishing job is holding the work up at 1200 feet. A twist off left almost 400 feet of pipe in the hole. No. 3 is drilling at 1240 feet, hard conglomerate making the work go slow. On the Dickson property a rig for No. 1 is built. McFadden No. 1 is rigging up and will be drilling before the end of the week. At Newell No. 1 some 600 feet of hole has been drilled. Towell No. 1 is rigging up, and rig material is being put on the round for a well on the Chapman home place. This new well will be known as Placentia Orchard No. 1. At the Thompson-Goodwin well a twist just occurred that left 200 feet of drill pipe in the hole. The Amalamated's Potter No. 1 met with a fishing job in the conglomerate at 1400 feet a week ago. A turn of good luck got the pipe out and drilling is going again in the conglomerate at 1425. Yorba 3-1 is making hole at 2143 feet, the brown shale and sand continues to show considerable oil and gas. At Ibbitson a cleaning out at 3035 is putting the well in condition for drilling again. As yet no oil showings have been noticed in this comparative deep well. A twist off of the drill pipe at the Clark Oil Co.'s Wetzell No. 1 left 400 feet of drill pipe in the hole last week. The pipe is now all out and drilling from peace payments. In some cases, airplanes were used to take out great stores of securities. In other cases directly under the armistice, it was possible for the wealthy to pack up their tangible assets and move quietly into Switzerland, or some other neutral country, where the securities were safely stowed away out of the reach of the German government. Only today there came news from Vienna of a considerable movement of Austrian and Hungarian paper out of the country. One estimate was that recently $1,000,000,000 worth of notes and other securities had been smuggled out of the country—with quite evident signs that the movement had the same purpose behind it as the earlier German smuggling. The government is now seeing to it that no great sums of money or paper are allowed to slip through the boundaries unless for legitimate purposes. Germany complains that her ability to meet foreign claims has been materially decreased by the acts of war-swollen profiteers and wealthy citizens who chose to take their wealth away, rather than aid in rebuilding Germany, wherein these profits were made. Incidentally, Switzerland and the other neutral countries have made vast profits through the war; while the acct is going again in the conglomerate at 1400 feet. The Heffron well was cemented early in the week at 2570 feet, and will stand idle for a couple of weeks. A number of very encouraging oil showings have been reported on this well, and the setting of the water string at the depth stated will insure protection when the well resumes drilling again. THE TARIFF AND TINPLATE Years ago when a Republican Congress embodied in a tariff act a provision of protection which would foster tinplate mills in the United States, Democratic newspapers held this portion of the tariff law up to ridicule. The infant tinplate industry they then regarded as being too weak even to imbibe nourishment. Thirty years ago, no tinplates were manufactured in the United States. Today, according to the statistician of the National City Bank of New York this county is producing three-fourths of the tinplate of the world. In 1891 our imports of this article amounted to 1,036,489,074 pounds. In 1918 the imports had dropped to 71,403 pounds while our exports, which began in a modest way in 1898 with 20,827 pounds, have grown to 560,068,432 pounds, and our production has reached 3,387,207,040 pounds in a single year. Even before the war our production amounted to 2,085,980,000 pounds, our exports to 105,899,762 pounds and our imports had declined to 48,877,947 pounds. Canada and Japan have become our best customers, the Dominion having taken tinplate worth $11,638,385 in 1918 and Japan having im-granted that the hunting season of 1919 will be a record breaker in the way of interest shown, whether the kill of bucks exceeds the average or not. The great number of riflemen going into the hills in this driest of dry seasons imposes extraordinary demands upon the vigilance of fish, game and forest wardens to hold down the careless, lest does and fawns die in defiance of law, and even worse, that fires be started to destroy the timber.

Had the industry not been stimulated by a Republican Congress it would never have thrived, yet the value of the tinplate production in the United States in 1918 was about $200,000,000. So strong has the industry become that a delegation of Welsh tinplate manufacturers is en route to this country to study the methods of American competitors. GREAT WALNUT CROP EXPECTED THIS SEASON Twenty-Five Thousand Tons Will be Harvested. California walnut growers are preparing to harvest this fall the heaviest crop in history. Twenty-five thousand tons of nuts—a half-pound of walnuts for every man, woman and child in the United States—is what the crop is expected to total according to estimates by the California Walnut Growers' Association. Last year's crop, which in itself was a record-breaker, was 19,000 tons. Increased acreage and a natural increase in production as trees mature, play a part in rolling up this record crop, as do nearly perfect weather conditions this year, according to W.T. Webber, secretary of the Walnut Growers' association. But probably fested acres in New Mexico last year under the co-operative war measure work of the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture, the New Mexico State Council of Defense, and the extension service of the New Mexico College of Agriculture. This included, the protection of 212,992 acres of crops in all parts of the State, nearly 5,000 land-owners taking active part in the work. The expenditures of the Federal and State Governments and of cooperators totaled less than $60,000. The actual cost for the treatment of range land was less than 4 cents an acre. If average crop returns in New Mexico be placed as low as $20 an acre, the saving in crops alone for this one season is approximately $500,000. To this should be added the benefit from the destruction of prairie dogs on over a million acres of range and the consequent increased value in crops and forage for seasons to come. Better organization will result from the experiences of last year, and the Biological Survey and the authorities in New Mexico are in a position to push much more vigorously the work of clearing the State of prairie dogs. Economy and effectiveness have been increased through recent improvements in poisoning methods and, with the help of legislative measures and the hearty co-operation of all ranchmen, it is hoped that the prairie dog will be entirely eradicated before many years. is what the crop is expected to total according to estimates by the California Walnut Growers' Association. Last year's crop, which in itself was a record-breaker, was 19,000 tons. Increased acreage and a natural increase in production as trees mature, play a part in rolling up this record crop, as do nearly perfect weather conditions this year, according to W. T. Webber, secretary of the Walnut Growers' association. But probably the most important factor, as far as the future of the industry is concerned, has been the part played by scientific handling of elements which have damaged past crops. "One of the biggest factors in this year's big crop has been the control of the pests." Webber told the United Press. "For two years Prof. Ralph Smith of the University of California has been working in co-operation with our association to control the aphis and the walnut worm. "He has worked out a spray to fight these pests which has proved very successful and reduced losses from these causes far below previous years. We now have 100 machines operating in the orchards and have 600 tons of Prof. Smith's preparation, and the result is reflected in the fine condition of the groves." Orange, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties will produce the bulk of California's 1919 nut crop. Harvesting will begin in September and shipments about the first of October. Prices which the present crop will bring will not be set until fall. $500,000 Saved by Killing Prairie Dogs. Organized poisoning operations were extended over 1,231,297 prairie-dog-in- the Biological Survey and the authorities in New Mexico are in a position to push much more vigorously the work of clearing the State of prairie dogs. Economy and effectiveness have been increased through recent improvements in poisoning methods and, with the help of legislative measures and the hearty co-operation of all ranchmen, it is hoped that the prairie dog will be entirely eradicated before many years. NO OUTING FOR PETS Dogs and cats are not allowed in the Yosemite National Park, nor are they allowed loose in the Sequoia or General Grant Parks. Motorists who are planning to give Fido or Pussy an airing this summer must look to other places for the animal vacations, according to a warning issued yesterday by the Automobile Club of Southern California. Auto Club touring bureaus throughout the southern counties are advising automobilists, on the request of W. B. Lewis, Superintendent of the Yosemite domain, that dogs or cats cannot be taken into the Valley, nor can they be given a ride over the scenic Tioga route between Yosemite and Owens Lake. Dogs chase the deer, and cats catch the chipmunks, it is pointed out, and little Fido makes himself a general nuisance. Therefore, camping parties leaving Southern California for the National Parks must leave their pets at home, or suffer the pangs of turning back from the park gates when they get there.
