TOO MANY JAPS IN THE CYPRESS SECTION H. H. COVELL ASKS ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE TO TAKE ACTION IN THE MATTER Co-operation for Fire Fighting will be Referred to Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee in this City on October 9. Declaring that Japs are driving white men and families from and threatening to take complete possession of the section immediately around Cypress, H. H. Covell of Cypress Wednesday night at the Associated Chamber of Commerce at Placentia asked that the organization take some action and use its influence in the development of means for combating the menacing evil. "Japs are coming into our community and paying more rent for land than a white man can afford to pay and make any profit," declared Covell. "The white men with families are gradually dropping out of the community, and if the situation continues it will be only a matter of time until the lands there are occupied entirely by Japs." "The higher rentals and the heavy production under cultivation by the would be more fully discussed, and by people who were conversant with the plans for protecting the watersheds. Believing that he has developed a method for eliminating dangers at paved street intersections, W. T. Brown of Fullerton offered a map and presented plans for paving all prominent intersections in the county to full width. Presenting a map showing an eighteen-foot highway, with a button in the center of the intersection for guiding traffic, he pointed out the danger, and declared that by paving the full width, or on a circle embracing nearly the full width of both roads forming the intersection, hundreds of lives would be saved annually, if the suggestion were adopted throughout the state. He pointed out that at present there is only twenty-one feet in which to make a turn where under the circle there would be eighty-four feet from one point of the squared intersection to the one diagonally opposite. County Engineer McBride approved the plan as being one that would greatly reduce the risk at intersections, but pointed out that at many of the intersections in the county, and some of them the most dangerous, trees made execution of the plan impractical, particularly where owners would not consent to removal of such trees. Asked as to what the cost of such improvements throughout the county would be, Brown, said that was a question for an engineer. The matter was referred to the good roads committee for consideration. Resolutions offered by Elmer Jahraus, as chairman of a committee appointed to draft resolutions prohibiting monopolization of ocean frontage Senator Hiram W. in San Francisco Washington, and w and coast in supporting equalizing the voting tween the United States in the covenant of fictions.

"The white men with families are gradually dropping out of the community, and if the situation continues it will be only a matter of time until the lands there are occupied entirely by Japs. "The higher rentals and the heavy production under cultivation by the Japs will last for a time, and then lands will commence to depreciate in value. This, together with the section populated with Japs, will force white people to sell their lands at a loss and move away in order to withdraw from the surroundings. "It is only a matter of time until my property will be entirely surrounded by the little brown men. I have good holdings and I don't want to dispose of them, but I may be forced to do so, unless I will be content to continue my residence with only these men and their families as my neighbors, and this I do not want. "The situation is not only becoming serious at Cypress but in other sections of the state, and it seems to me that it is time that some concerted action be taken by all communities." The matter was referred to the agricultural and horticultural committee. C. E. McFadden of Placentia advanced a suggestion that the counties of Southern California should co-operate in the organization of mountain fire fighting forces to go to the assistance of forest men when Big fires break out in the watersheds. He pointed to the serious fire now raging on the Angeles reserve and which has done untold damage to the watersheds there. "It is a matter that concerns every section that is dependent upon the watersheds for its supply of water," said McFadden, "and it should not be left to the owners of mountain lands and the forest forces to combat the fires. They are having trouble in securing men to fight the flames now raging. "We leave it to the men living in the mountains and we know it is vital and imperative to this and other counties to protect the water sources. We particularly where owners would not consent to removal of such trees. Asked as to what the cost of such improvements throughout the county would be, Brown said that was a question for an engineer. The matter was referred to the good roads committee for consideration. Resolutions offered by Elmer Jahraus, as chairman of a committee appointed to draft resolutions prohibiting monopolization of ocean frontage along the coast of the state by owners of property proposing subdivision, was adopted. The movement is to force such owners to leave a driveway along the ocean front or a block where the view of the ocean from a coast boulevard will not be obliterated. In speaking for the resolution, Jahraus declared that the view along the coast is a big asset to Southern California. Copies of the resolution are to be forwarded to all boards of supervisors, city councils and to members of the state legislature. It is the custom of those in attendance at the monthly meeting of the county organization to smoke following dinner and while the business is under discussion. Women are asked to attend the meetings at times. Last night was ladies' night and a number were present. The subject of smoking when ladies were present was brought up by W. T. Brown of Fullerton, who thought the men should forego this pleasure out of respect for the women, it proved an interesting and amusing feature of the evening. The women were put to the acid test, and those responding to a call for an expression of their sentiment on the question, declared that as it was one of the pleasures of such meetings for the men to smoke, they should not be denied that privilege, and the question being put to a vote of the delegates after the women had expressed themselves, it was voted that smoking should continue. J. D. Thomas of Olive, as chairman of the agricultural and horticultural committee, urged that residents of the county taken an interest in the county fair at Huntington Beach on October 2, 3 and 4 and make exhibits. He said that it was an excellent opportunity where owners would not consent to removal of such trees.

They are having trouble in securing men to fight the flames now raging. "We leave it to the men living in the mountains and we know it is vital and imperative to this and other counties to protect the water sources. We cannot tell what the damage will be to this and other counties through the burning of brush from the mountain sides—brush that proves the salvation of the southland by causing storage of the water at the time of rains." In discussions that followed, it developed that Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, through the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee, are protecting the watersheds of the Santa Ana river by preventive measures. Fires are stopped before they are started, about sums up the condition. Fire trails have been established, and they are from thirty to forty feet in width instead of three or four feet, as rules in some mountain sections. With these, fighters can get to the point of any fire quickly, and stop it before it gets under full headway. Again the wide trails halt the fires when the flames reach them, the tongues of flames not being large enough to jump the gap. No action was taken upon the suggestion, but it was pointed out that the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee will meet at Anaheim on October 9 and that it would be a good plan for everyone to attend the meeting, where such a question probably to a vote of the delegates after the women had expressed themselves, it was voted that smoking should continue. J. D. Thomas of Olive, as chairman of the agricultural and horticultural committee, urged that residents of the county taken an interest in the county fair at Huntington Beach on October 2, 3 and 4 and make exhibits. He said that it was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate that the products of the county are not limited to oranges and lemons. He urged the women to exhibit preserves and canned goods. CONTRADICTS PRESIDENT Senator Poindexter Falls to Find Any Disarmament Agreement. "The President says there is an international agreement for disarmament in the league of nations," said Senator Poindexter. "I think he made that statement a number of times—that there is an international agreement for disarmament or for a limitation of armaments in the league of nations. Without desiring to dispute the President's statement too categorically or to seem offensive, I wish to say there is no such provision in the covenant of the league of nations—none whatever. There is nothing in the covenant of the league of nations to that effect." Three feet was the amount of hole made by the Amalgamated at the Potter well last week. The conglomerate here is so hard and tough that the fish tail bits are hardly able to make any impression on it. Minneapolis, the latter he visited, Senator Wilson was the same auditorium President had appealed previously, and in every capacity of the building limitation upon the actor's audiences. The overflow meetings in Minneapolis, and in St. Louis thousands were but it was in point of great contrast with where between the actor Johnson and President. The President, of crowds at his every newspapers frequent Mrs. Wilson was the large number of women's audiences, but everywhere that Mr. Wilson failed to evoke the bursts of approval Johnson's addresses had and it was a subject that the applause wished President at the openings in the large city West was completely astonishing demonstration realized the appearance of the same platforms she The huge throngs willed St. Louis Coliseum City Convention Hall ed for eighteen minutes respectively when speaker's rostrum, and where thousands of people side for an hour and a make a second speed initial demonstration JOHNSON COMES DENOUNCING COVENANT TOURING STATE IN SUPPORT OF AMENDMENTS PROTECTING NATION'S SOVEREIGNTY Asks Equal Voting Strength for United States With Great Britain in League Councils. Senator Hiram W. Johnson arrived in San Francisco on Tuesday from Washington, and will tour the State and coast in support of his amendment equalizing the voting strength as between the United States and England in the covenant of the League of Nations. He began his campaign in San Francisco yesterday, and will speak in Los Angeles tomorrow. He will also speak in other California cities, and will tour Oregon, Washington and western states in opposition to President Wilson. He stands manfully against the Shantung infamy, which the covenant gives to Japan, thus robbing China of one of its most populous provinces, and working irreparable injury against China, which was our faithful ally during the war, and which has ever been a most friendly nation toward the United States. He opposes the cession of the Marshall and Caroline group of islands to Japan. These islands lie midway between Hawaii and IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) The Standard Oil Company's Anaheim Union No. 1 has reached a depth of 4570 feet without striking oil. At no time has this deep well showed any encouragement and it begins to appear as though it was going to turn out a dry hole. On Kraemer No. 1 No. 4 is drilling at 2025 feet, No. 5 is standing cemented at 1951, and No. 6 is drilling at 1650 feet. Lock No. 2 adjoining is making hole at 2960. Drilling on the Vejar property has also started with No. 1 showing 550 feet. The Vejar lease joins the Kraemer No. 1 property on the east side. On the Kraemer No. 2 property across the line from the Union Oil Company the Standard is doing a lot of new work in the way of making preparations for new wells. Five locations have been made and rig building and rigging up is being rushed on these wells. The United Oil Company has closed a lease for 200 acres of property east of the Fullerton Oil Company's Travis and expects to begin the development of the property in the very near future. The Union Oil Company is now the heaviest operator in the new Richfield district with wells drilling on eight different properties. On the Chapman property three wells are drilling, No. 2 is down 1177 feet and is held with a fishing job. No. 3 is 2400 feet with the 10-inch pipe running in Chapman of a fishing job. Close to 1800 feet the log shows for Towell No. 1, the formation being conglomerate. The Thompson Goodwin well is still being held up on account of a fishing job. The Union Oil Company's Chapman gusher has been showing some decline in production during the past two weeks, having dropped from approximately 5000 barrels to 4300. As the well is producing quite a lot of sand it is thought that the big well is gradually filling up as it did two months ago, and may have to be cleaned out again to bring it back to the 5000 mark. The Placentia Oil Company, capitalized for $200,000, has taken a lease on 20 acres of property directly west of the Heffron sand wash well. The new company is backed by Los Angeles men and expects to drill the property in the near future. The outcome of the Heffern well, it seems, has some bearing on the development program of this new company. The property leased by the Placentia Oil Company is less than a quarter of a mile from the Heffern well and will be one of the choice leases in the field should the Heffron come up to expectations. The Petroleum Development Company now has one well drilling on the Bradford property. At No. 1 the rig is being torn down in preparation for the erection of a rotary rig. No. 2 is drilling in the conglomerate at 2225. No. 3 is rebuilding the rig for the rotary. It is the plan now of the Petroleum Development Company to drill all its wells with the rotary, as the holes can be put down with greater speed. After a two weeks' speaking tour in opposition to the League, Johnson returned to Washington last week in order to be on the floor of the Senate during the consideration of his amendment to give the United States a voting power in the League equal to that of Great Britain. It was decided at a conference of senators, however, to postpone action on the amendment until others were disposed of, thus leaving him free to resume his tour. Telegraphic confirmation of the sensational success of the Senator's meetings had poured into Washington from every city where he had spoken, and the effect of his itinerary created a most profound impression there. From Chicago to Minneapolis, following the President's "trail" through the Middle West, the California Senator had the most remarkable series of public meetings in the recent history of the nation. Not since the celebrated Lincoln-Douglas debate of the Civil War era has the discussion of any national issue aroused such tremendous demonstrations of popular interest. In St. Louis, Kansas City, Des Moines, Duluth and Minneapolis, the largest cities which he visited, Senator Johnson spoke in the same auditoriums in which the President had appeared a few days previously, and in every instance the capacity of the building was the sole limitation upon the size of the Senator's audiences. There were great overflow meetings at Chicago and Minneapolis, and in Kansas City and St. Louis thousands were turned away, of the Fullerton Oil Company's Travis and expects to begin the development of the property in the very near future. The Union Oil Company is now the heaviest operator in the new Richfield district with wells drilling on eight different properties. On the Chapman property three wells are drilling. No. 2 is down 1177 feet and is held with a fishing job. No. 3 is 2400 feet with the 10-inch pipe going in. Chapman No. 5 shows 1200 feet of hole. Dickson No. 1 running on the rotary shows 1000 feet of hole. At McFadden some good time is being made, the log shows close to 1900 feet drilled. Newell No. 1 is being held at 700 feet on account duration. But by far the most significant feature of all the Senator's meetings was the progressive cumulative response and enthusiasm which his arguments never failed to arouse as they advanced toward their conclusion. The finale of his speech invariably found his audience upon its toes yelling and cheering frantically. "We have never heard your side of this issue before," he was told everywhere after he had spoken, and as he recounted one by one the "inexorable facts" about the secret treaties and the military burdens which the League of Nations would fasten upon America, and inquired whether the President had told them of these things, his audiences with a single voice always thundered "no." Johnson was assured by leading citizens everywhere he spoke that he had made converts of audiences which had listened to the President with meer passive politeness. Certainly the temper of the crowds at the close of every one of his speeches indicated that this assurance was not exaggerated. One of the most enthusiastic receptions extended to him was by the Minnesota legislature, which he addressed on the closing day of its session. This body of seasoned politicians, representing a constituency whose two United States senators are classed as merely "mild reservationists," fairly raised the roof of the legislative chamber as Johnson unfolded his eloquent plea to make the League "Safe for America." Again and again the senators and assembly- The Petroleum Development Company now has one well drilling on the Bradford property. At No. 1 the rig is being torn down in preparation for the erection of a rotary rig. No. 2 is drilling in the conglomerate at 2225. No. 3 is rebuilding the rig for the rotary. It is the plan now of the Petroleum Development Company to drill all its wells with the rotary, as the holes can be put down with greater speed than with cable tools. At 2500 feet the Amalgamated's Yorba No. 1 left the shell formation and came into a sand at 2565. At 2632 this sand commences to show considerable oil and at the present depth of 2640 the well is exceptionally good. Ibitson No. 1 is pow making new hole at 3098. For over two months this well was held back by heaving sand. The formation at 3098 is shell no oil showing as yet. The Amalgamated Oil Company completed building a rig on the Breen property and started drilling early in the week. Some 300 feet of hole has been made. The Clark Oil Company drilling on the Hugo Wetzell property at a depth of 2700 feet have a nice showing of oil. The well will be cemented in a few days. The Fullerton Oil Company's Travis No. 1 is now drilling at 3100 feet, the formation is a hard brown shale carrying very little oil. The Travis well was deepened from 2600 in the hope of getting into a better oil sand and making a better well, but as yet the deepening process has not brought the desired results. On the Anaheim Union lease the Fullerton Oil Company is building rig for No. 1 and made a location for No. 2. The Thomas Strain well at Placentia is to be abandoned. Mr. Strain spent $200,000 in an attempt to develop an oil well in his orange grove, and gives up the venture after seven years of work. In all two wells were drilled. A fishing job spoiled the first location, it being necessary to move the rig Minneapolis, the largest cities which he visited, Senator Johnson spoke in the same auditoriums in which the President had appeared a few days previously, and in every instance the capacity of the building was the sole limitation upon the size of the Senator's audiences. There were great overflow meetings at Chicago and Minneapolis, and in Kansas City and St. Louis thousands were turned away, but it was in point of enthusiasm that the great contrast was drawn everywhere between the meetings of Senator Johnson and President Wilson. The President, of course, attracted crowds at his every stop, and the local newspapers frequently remarked that Mrs. Wilson was the magnet for a large number of women in the Presidential audiences, but it was agreed everywhere that Mr. Wilson's speeches failed to evoke the tumultuous outbursts of approval that punctuated Johnson's addresses in every instance, and it was a subject of wide comment that the applause which greeted the President at the opening of his meetings in the large cities of the Middle West was completely eclipsed by the astonishing demonstrations which signalized the appearance of Johnson on the same platforms subsequently. The huge throngs which packed the St. Louis Coliseum and the Kansas City Convention Hall stood and cheered for eighteen minutes and fifteen minutes respectively without a moment cessation when he mounted the speaker's rostrum, and in Minneapolis where thousands of people waited outside for an hour and a half to hear him make a second speech, there was an initial demonstration of almost similar tended to him was by the Minnesota legislature, which he addressed on the closing day of its session. This body of seasoned politicians, representing a constituency whose two United States senators are classed as merely "mild reservationists," fairly raised the roof of the legislative chamber as Johnson unfolded his eloquent plea to make the League "Safe for America." Again and again the senators and assemblymen sprang to their feet and whooped for Johnson until the State Capitol building rang with their cheers. President Wilson had addressed the legislature when he was in St. Paul the preceing week and had received a respectful hearing. "Nothing like this when the President was here," was on almost every member's lips after Senator Johnson had finished speaking. Referring to the scene at the legislature as a unique example of the extraordinary demonstrations and the series of remarkable outpourings of people which had marked every stopping point of Johnson's itinerary, the Minneapolis Tribune the following afternoon, inquired editorially, "What does it mean?" Johnson himself responds that it merely means that the American people are "right" whenever and wherever they can get the facts about the Treaty and the League of Nations, and that they respond eagerly to the doctrine of Americanization as often as it is presented to them, but it undoubtedly means also that the Senator from California has made an appeal to the patriotism of the thousands of American people to whom he has spoken, which has stirred them as they have seldom been stirred before on any public issue. is building rig for No. 1 and made a location for No. 2. The Thomas Strain well at Placentia is to be abandoned. Mr. Strain spent $200,000 in an attempt to develop an oil well in his orange grove, and gives up the venture after seven years of work. In all two wells were drilled. A fishing job spoiled the first location, it, being necessary to move the rig and start again. The second well was drilled to 4200 feet and at no time did this deep well ever show oil in quantity enough to lend much encouragement. A recent test made at 3600 feet showed some oil, but this oil was accompanied by too much water to warrant pumping the well for production. CHESTNUTS DO WELL IN THIS SECTION Is the growing of the sweet chestnut to be one of Southern California's coming industries? A branch of chestnut burrs brought into the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce from one of the trees on Chestnut avenue, Santa Ana, suggests a future crop for the State which may some day rival the walnut output. According to Guy E. Mitchell of Washington, D. C., who visited this chestnut grove recently with D. W. McDannald of Orange county, the chestnut of the Eastern United States is threatened with extinction. Tens of thousands of acres of chestnut timber are being devastated annually by the chestnut blight, which jumps from State to State with veritable seven-league boots, and there is no known cure for it.

Ten or fifteen years from now there will remain practically no forests of the native American sweet chestnut, a nut which is dear to every easterner and of incomparable sweetness and flavor. The few chestnut trees of the Paragon, Spanish or Italian types in Southern California appear to be wonderful producers. The trees from which the branch in the photograph was taken have beaten the walnuts which they border and are loaded with nuts, indicating that the chestnut is thoroughly at home in Southern California. The chestnut blight has not yet crossed the Rocky Mountains and probably will not, so that it would seem that in a very few years the Pacific Coast would have a monopoly of American-grown chestnuts, the only competitor being the imported Spanish and Italian nuts in Italy the chestnut is an important food. Herbert Messerschmidt and Henry Ramm have purchased the ten-acre orange grove of Fred Maas west of this city. The grove is set to valleys.
