WANTS DAMAGES FOR AUTOMOBILE CRASH Secretary Ralph Sues for $1500 in Behalf of H. O. Henderson. Asking $1500 damages, alleged to have been suffered in an automobile accident, Archibald S. Ralph, secretary of the Orange County Automobile Club, has brought an action against Joe Anderson, the Republic Rubber Company of California, a corporation, and two John Doe defendants, one of them a corporation. It is alleged that on August 22, H. O. Henderson, who has transferred his claim against the defendants to Ralph, was driving, in a careful manner, south on the highway between Anaheim and Santa Ana and that Henderson put out his hand in a horizontal position and ascertained by looking whether it was safe to make a turn into the El Retiro ranch. The complaint sets forth that Henderson then turned to the left across the road and into the driveway of the ranch and that as he turned he was struck by an automobile driven by Anderson, whom Ralph charges with driving carelessly and negligently. Anderson is alleged to have driven his car at a reckless rate of speed. Anderson was employed at the time of the accident by the Republic Rubber Company, it is alleged. AMERICAN HOGS Of cattle the world contains probably 475 million head, of which the United States has about one-seventh. Of sheep the world contains approximately 500 million head of which 1,304,472 pounds of sausage, 57,007,129 pounds of salted and pickled pork, and 253,966 pounds of poultry and game were exported from New York to Belgium, Holland, and Sweden. In this period, also, 420 horses were exported to France and 126 head of cattle were shipped to Belgium, according to records of the United States Department of Agriculture. FULLERTON WANTS ORNAMENTAL LIGHTS City Engineer Getting Expression of People on the Subject. For many months the city board of trustees of Fullerton have been talking about an ornamental light zone, but had never definitely agreed on the boundaries of the zone or the kind of pole to be used. A large zone yas mapped out and City Engineer Wells was instructed to get the views of property owners in the proposed zone as to whether they desired the ornamental lights. Mr. Wells made an almost complete canvass of the zone, only to learn that there was considerable opposition to it from the property owners on account of the expense attached. At a meeting of the city trustees a definite start was made toward installing an ornamental lighting system and the zone decided upon. Spadra will be lighted from Union to Truslow, and Commonwealth, one block east and one block west of Spadra. That was the zone established on motion of Trustee Albert H. Sitton. This is only a starter, however, it IN THE OIL The month of August biggest months with the record month for new wells, for the new wells, for the numbering, for the high daily trained, for the new pads and for new oil company Fifteen new wells were different parts of their dred and fifteen welling, and the daily avail has clung steadily to mark.

Of sheep the world contains approximately 500 million head, of which the United States has about one-tenth. Of swine the world contains in the neighborhood of 180 million head, of which the United States contains considerably more than one-third. In other words, swine are less numerous than either sheep or cattle in the world at large, but are more numerous than either in the United States. Or the same classes may be considered in this way. In cattle the United States is second to India, with three other countries, Russia, Brazil and Argentina following. In sheep the United States is second to Australia, with Argentina, Russia and New Zealand the principal sheep-raising competitors. In swine the United States is easily first, and this year has more hogs than her ten nearest competitors all combined. The closest of these are Brazil, Germany and Russia. So the greater abundance of swine is perhaps the most noteworthy difference between the meat resources of the United States and most other countries. There were 52 adults on probation in Orange county on July 1, 1919, as against 56 on January 1, 1919, according to a report filed by J. H. Scott, probation officer. The number of probationary terms expiring during this period was ten. There were six new cases added during the period. Eleven persons are on probation for forgery, 10 for burglary, 7 for non-support and the remainder of the 52 for various other offenses. MEATS SHIPPED ABROAD From July 1 to August 9 last, 15,114,047 pounds of fresh and frozen beef, 6,794,538 pounds of canned and pickled beef, 15,297 pounds of lamb and mutton, 3,153,832 pounds of fresh and frozen At a meeting of the city trustees a definite start was made toward installing an ornamental lighting system and the zone decided upon. Spadra will be lighted from Union to Truslow, and Commonwealth, one block east and one block west of Spadra. That was the zone established on motion of Trustee Albert H. Sitton. This is only a starter, however, it being the belief of the trustees that when the ornamental lights are established in this zone that residents of other parts of the city will want the one extended. Trustee Robert Strain was desirous of taking in the high school, grammar school and public library into the established one, but other members thought this zone too large for a starter and they finally decided on Spadra and Commonwealth. The Edison people have already signified their willingness to remove their poles from Spadra at any time the city wishes to install the ornamental lights. The kind of pole to be used will be decided upon by the trustees and the civic planning committee of the board of trade. It is proposed to make Spadra one of the best lighted thoroughfares in Southern California, all of which will make Fullerton more attractive to the visitor as well as to the residents. The installing of the lights will be under the local improvement act. INSURANCE CASE OCT. 9. The case of the Western Union Life Insurance Company against John Carlos Phillipson, Leora E. Newcombe and James J. Ortega was set for trial in the Superior court on October 9 at 10 a.m. The complaint alleges that the defendants executed bond to the company and that while the agency established by the bond was in force the company advanced Phillipson $200 and that Phillipson collected $117.93 from persons insured by the company. Judgment for $317.93 is asked. Phillipson in an answer filed in August of last year says that he wrote $65,000 worth of insurance for that company for certain commissions and alleges that the company agreed to pay him an additional $2 per thousand count of the expense attached.

The latter commissions were not paid, Phillipson alleges. The Gazette $1.50 Per Year Subscribe Now IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) The month of August was one of the biggest months with the oil operators of Southern California. August was a record month for the location of new wells, for the starting to drill new wells, for the bringing in of new wells, for the number of wells drilling, for the high daily average maintained, for the new properties leased and for new oil companies organized. Fifteen new wells were staked out in different parts of the field. One hundred and fifteen wells are now drilling, and the daily average production has clung steadily to the 81,000 barrel mark. More than 2000 acres of new properties were leased during the month, the new holdings being acquired at Montebello, Whittier, Olive and Pomona. August witnessed the entrance of the Allied Petroleum Company, the Richfield Yorba Oil Company, the Federal Drilling Company, Company into the Southern California and the Commonwealth Petroleumnia oil fields. Drilling in the gray sand the Standard's 4400 foot well on the Anaheim is showing no more encouragement than it did at the time it was spudded in ten months ago. Kraemer 1-4 is drilling at 1600, 1-5 at 1300 feet and 1-6 rigging up. On the Vejar a rig has been built for No. 1. The shaft drive rotary now making such a wonderful record at Montebello is to be given a chance there," Mr. Baker said. "SIBERIA TROOPS BACK CHRISTMAS" Secretary Baker Promises Solons to Expedite the Return of Drafted Americans. Secretary Baker promised the House Military Affairs Committee everything he could do to hasten the return of drafted troops from Siberia. The secretary said he felt certain the emergency soldiers would be home by Christmas. They are being replaced by regulars enlisted specially for Siberian service. Mr. Baker could give no indication as to how long the American expedition will remain in Siberia. He declared this is a question for the President and State Department. Two thousand volunteers already have been dispatched to Siberia to replace drafted men, Mr. Baker said, and another contingent of 1000 is scheduled to sail September 15. There are 6500 emergency men included in the Siberian forces of 8000 which leaves 3500 replacements for whom men are yet to be provided. These replacements are being recruited at a rate of 50 or 60 a day, the secretary said. Secretary Baker said there was some doubt that the Fifth and Fiftieth regiments, which were ordered to Europe a few days ago, will go to Silesia. He contended they will first be sent to France to replace a part of the First Division, but admitted they must be sent to Silesia later. "Why do you have to replace them," said Representative Mason of Illinois. "We have to keep a certain number there," Mr. Baker said. "As I understand it the troops were sent to Russia under an agreement office of County Surveyor J. L. McBride for the purpose of securing maps. He stated that in a section such as that wherein they are now at work it requires about a week to survey two miles. Orange county has already secured a right-of-way for a 40-foot boulevard along the coast between Sunset Beach and Huntington Beach. It is believed that securing the additional right-of-way needed for an 80-foot boulevard such as is now proposed to build will be a matter of considerable time. As to what route the coast boulevard will take in skirting Newport harbor, this is yet very indefinite. A preliminary route was decided upon some time ago, but it is believed that route will not be the one eventually taken." TO COMPLETE OLD NATIONAL ROAD A project under the Federal aid road act, filed with the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, which will undoubtedly hold the record for length and cost for some time to come, is of unusual interest aside from its great length and cost. It contemplates, after the lapse of nearly a century, the completion of the Old National Road, extending from the Potomac to the Mississippi, which has been largely improved as far west as the Indiana line. The Illinois improvement will extend from East St. Louis across the State to the Indiana line, traversing St. Clair, Madison, Bond, Fayette, Effingham, Cumberland and Clark counties. The proposed type of surface is monolithic brick and concrete pavement, the average cost of which is about $30,000 per mile. The proposed Drilling in the gray sand the Standard’s 4400 foot well on the Anaheim is showing no more encouragement than it did at the time it was spudded in ten months ago. Kraemer 1-4 is drilling at 1600, 1-5 at 1300 feet and 1-6 rigging up. On the Vejar a rig has been built for No. 1. The shaft drive rotary now making such a wonderful record at Montebello is to be given a chance on the hard, conglomerate in the Richfield district. The Union Oil Company has ordered a couple of these machines and will have them running as soon as they can be set up. On account of the great amount and extremely hard conglomerate in the new field the shaft drive rotary will have an excellent opportunity to show its real worth. To its already extensive holdings in the Richfield district the Union Oil Company has added another property in the Coll ranch. Work on drilling the new property is to start as soon as arrangements can be made. The oil and gas struck in the Amalgamated’s Yorba No. 1 at 2300 feet continues to the present depth of 2410. The formation is brown shale and the drilling is going nicely. Conglomerate is still the formation in the Amalgamated’s Potter well and the drilling at 1485 is making an average of six feet a day. On the Breen-property a rig is going up. For almost 1600 feet the Clark Oil Company’s Hugo Wetzell No. 1 has been drilling in the conglomerate, the formation being the same at the present depth of 1975 feet. The Clark Oil Company is sticking close to Sharp & Hughes cone bits for the work and although only making 7 feet a tour it is believed that in the long run the well will be drilled at less expense and with fewer fishing jobs than with the fish tail bits. The General Petroleum will drill out the cement at Yorba 3-1 and test for water. The well is down 3125 feet and previous to the cementing showed up very encouragingly. At Stearns No. 2 721 feet of hole has been made, the hard conglomerate being a serious menace to drilling speed. The Republic Supply Company is some doubt that the Fifth and Fiftieth regiments, which were ordered to Europe a few days ago, will go to Silesia. He contended they will first be sent to France to replace a part of the First Division, but admitted they must be sent to Silesia later. “Why do you have to replace them,” said Representative Mason of Illinois. “We have to keep a certain number there,” Mr. Baker said. “As I understand it the troops were sent to Russia under an agreement with our Allies?” continued Mr. Mason. The Secretary replied that this was correct and the Illinois man asked whether American troops were considered as neutrals by the Soviet forces and the Kolchak Government. “I think they are,” Mr. Baker responded, “because they are accused by both sides with not being neutral.” ENORMOUS EXPORTS Enormous food exports in June, 1919, compared with those of June, 1918, are believed to have an important bearing on the high cost of living. Breadstuffs exported jumped from $54,472,471 to $118,330,211, meat and dairy products from $77,957,555 to $174,344,993, and wheat from $988,466 to $40,464,778; flour from 2,423,749 barrels, costing $28,293,200,- to 3,613,-714, costing $39,943,369; sugar from $2,263,670 to $21,971,254, condensed milk from $4,741,591 to $16,516,805, eggs to the United Kingdom from 102 dozen to 1,335,822 dozen, and leather (mostly to Great Britain) from $6,-560,571 to $39,903,904. SUES FOR $50,000. Fifty thousand dollars damage is asked in a suit filed by Floyd D. Browne and wife against B. F. J. George and August Lemke, all of Olive. The suit is the outgrowth of an accident on August 31, 1918, when a motorcycle side-car, in which Mrs. Browne was riding was struck by the Lemke automobile. Mrs. Browne, it is alleged, was in the hospital two months, underwent two operations and has another in prospect, she says. One thousand dollars was spent for medical attention. Her left leg and the bone above the left eye were fractured. It is claimed she suffered many severe lacerations about the body. Attorney E. L. Daven of San Francisco represents the plaintiffs. THE PROPOSED TYPE OF SURFACE IS MONOLITHIC BRICK AND CONCRETE PAVEMENT, THE AVERAGE COST OF WHICH IS about $30,000 per mile. The proposed improvement includes also the construction of 40 bridge structures, of lengths ranging from 22 feet to 300 feet. At present the uncompleted portion of the highway is generally an unimproved earth road, which becomes nearly impassable at certain seasons of the year. There are, however, near some of the villages, short stretches of macadam pavement, generally in very poor condition. The local traffic consists of approximately 60 trucks, 700 motor vehicles, and 50 horse-drawn vehicles per day, to which is added during the summer months a through traffic of about 20 trucks and 200 passenger motor vehicles. SCHOOL AGE ADVANCED Enrollment of Orange county high schools will be materially increased this year as a result of California’s new compulsory education law, local school officials believe. The new law, which is now effective provides that all boys and girls must remain in school until they are 16 years old. As most children finish their grammar school education when they are 15, the law practically means that two years of high school training are required. The former law provided that boys and girls must remain in school until they were 15 years old or until they completed their grammar school training. Consequently many young people left school when they finished grammar school. The laws regarding part time Americanization schooling will also be in force the coming year. They provide that all persons who cannot read and write English with the facility of the average sixth grade pupil must take at least four hours’ training weekly in a public school. Persons under 21 are included. LET AMERICANS HAVE IT The War Department is now engag The General Petroleum will drill out the cement at Yorba 3-1 and test for water.

The Republic Supply Company is about to open up an oil well supply store at Placentia, the central point in the new Richfield oil district. The Republic Supply Company is about to complete a big warehouse and has already received a shipment of oil well supplies to open the new house. It is under stood that the Republic Supply Company is affiliated with the Federal Drilling Company. Offsetting the Clark Oil Company's Wetzel well the Petroleum Development Company has located Bradford No. 4. Lumber is being put on the ground for the rig and grading for the rig has started. Bradford No. 1 is drilling at 750 feet, No. 2 is rigging up for the rotary and No. 3 is drilling at close to 1200 feet. SANTA FE TIME TABLE (Corrected to Date) NORTHBOUND Lv. Anaheim Ar.

TEDDY WOULD HAVE BEEN DELIGHTED WITH THIS A special correspondent writing to one of the London dailies sings the praise of a Mrs. Van Wyk in the Transvaal, who has just buried her sixth husband. She lives with all of her 50 children, and the number of her grandchildren is 270. Mrs. Van Wyk is 68 years old and enjoys perfect health. Only half of the children are her own, the other 25 being those of her various husbands. All, however, are treated alike, with touching motherly love, says the correspondent. SURVEYING THROUGH COUNTY FOR COAST BOULEVARD Progress at Rate of Two Miles Per Week Being Made. Marking a new step in the eventual construction of the 80-foot boulevard to be built by the State Highway Commission along the Orange county coast, a party of five surveyors, headed by D. B. Cooper of Los Angeles, has begun to survey the proposed route. Cooper and his party are at work north of Seal Beach and will proceed southward toward Newport. According to Cooper, the work of surveying the highway will take from two three months. Cooper visited the The laws regarding part time Americanization schooling will also be in force the coming year.

LET AMERICANS HAVE IT The War Department is now engaged in efforts to sell to foreign purchasers immense quantities of underwear, stockings, and piece goods which are stored abroad, but which could readily be brought back to the United States for distribution in the same manner that it is selling its surplus food stock at the direction of Congress. The material to be disposed of includes 69,000,000 yards of cotton piece goods, 35,000,000 yards of woolen piece goods, 9,000,000 pairs of summer underdrawers, 20,000,000 summer undershirts, 7,500,000 winter drawers, 5,000,000 winter undershirts, 2,000,000 cotton stockings, 15,500,000 woolen stockings. The War Department is also reported to have on hand a tremendous amount of shoe leather which it has failed to place on the market. ASSESSMENT WORK ON MINING CLAIMS SUSPENDED FOR 1919 State Mineralogist Fletcher Hamilton announces that word from Washington has just been received by the State Mining Bureau that H. J. Resolution 150, suspending assessment work on mining claims, became a law on August 15th. Owing to the prevalent high cost of labor and supplies, this will be welcome news to many miners and claim owners in California.

AFRAIL OF SHARKS A naval officer, wishing to bathe in a Ceylon river asked a native to show him a place where there were no alligators. The native took him to a pool close to the equator. The officer enjoyed the dip. While drying himself he asked his guide why there were never any alligators in that pool. "Because, oh," the Cingalese replied, "they plenty 'fraid of shark." In the last bulletin of the department of agriculture of California the statement is made that between the years 1856 and 1858, fruit growing already had made advances. An early chronicler writes in 1858: "The soil of California as proved by successful experiments is well adapted to the production of cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, sugar beets and mulberries, and it is believed that rice will grow on her marsh lands as in China." A list published in 1858 gives the following fruit census figures for the state: Apples, 320,500; peaches, 619,993; pears, 59,171; cherries, 25,264; grapes, 1,531,224. GRANTS PROBATION In spite of two prison sentences and an embezzlement offense which promised a third, Irwin H. Weaver is to have another chance. He was granted two years' probation by Superior Judge R. Y. Williams. Weaver must live in Orange county for three months and in Southern California for two years. He must keep at work and attend church twice a month, in addition to complying with all the usual probationary terms. He must also pay back to Attorney E. J. Marks of Fullerton the sum of $550, which he confessed he embossed. Marks agreed to the probation order and found Weaver temporary employment. C. G. Billings is back on the job as carrier of mails after a short vacation, which he spent at his home, forgetting all about such an institution as a postoffice.
