TREATY DEFEAT LAID AT DOOR OF PRESIDENT Capital Believes He Made as Great Blunder as When He Wrote Letter in 1918. The much vaunted treaty of peace and League of Nations, which in their combined beneficence were to bring a new world order, are killed as the result of the determination of President Wilson to have his own way at all hazards. As a result the United States is about to enact a concurrent resolution declaring the war at an end and will then return to its domestic and foreign problems with a view to its own welfare, untrammeled by the necessity of gaining the consent of any other nation. In the opinion of official Washington the President made as great, if not a greater blunder than made by him in his letter of 1918 calling for the election of a Democratic Congress because the Republicans had not supported the administration as he thought they should, though they were as loyal. After going to Europe without asking the advice or consent of the Senate as to the course to be pursued, he brought back a document the adoption of which would have permanently changed the traditional policy of this country. Though it had been composed in secret and though the future of the United States, in the view of some of the soundest statesmen in both parties, was jeopardized and menaced by it, he demanded, upon his return that it be ratified exactly as he presented it. The constitution stipulates that the President shall be now that the war is over and the boys are again at home, there is something wrong with distribution when shortage becomes so acute that the government contemplates rationing. It is claimed that the Cuban sugar supply is greater than ever. That ought to make sugar plentiful and cheaper. But it is scarcer and higher, and that in this section of the country where many of the sugar refineries are located. No one appears to know just why this should be, especially as it is said that any quantity can be secured—if you are willing to pay the price, which is said to be from 20 to 26 cents a pound. Sugar is said to be shipped to Europe in thousands of ton lots, and the Secretary of War recently sold 22,000,000 pounds of sugar the government owned to France. It is well enough to aid all of Europe in her distress and supply their every need, but it is well to look after our own people a little bit and see that they have the necessities before being charitable. It may be that Europe is willing to pay the high price, and the profiteers are looking after the almighty dollar, regardless of the wants of the men, women and children at home.

Though it had been composed in secret and though the future of the United States, in the view of some of the soundest statesmen in both parties, was jeopardized and menaced by it, he demanded, upon his return that it be ratified exactly as he presented it. The constitution stipulates that the President shall be but a part of the treaty-making power and that the Senate shall be the other part, but he decreed that the Senate must do his will. But the Senate did not do his will. On purely patriotic grounds it sought to make reservations in the treaty so that American rights would be protected. These were very simple. They provided that the United States be permitted to withdraw from the League of Nations at the will of Congress, that it assumes no obligation to preserve the territorial integrity of other States throughout the world, that no mandate to govern other lands be accepted without the consent of Congress, that this country reserve to itself exclusively the right of sole jurisdiction in all domestic questions, that it refuse to submit to arbitration the Monroe doctrine, that it withhold full action in regard to China and Japan, that its participation in official representation in the league be subjected to Congress, and that if threatened with invasion it should not have to ask the consent of the league to increase its armament, and preventing the British Empire from having six votes to our one. In spite of the fact that the remainder of the treaty as drawn at Versailles remained intact, the President on the last day of the session, when the Senate was about to make its momentous decision, sent a letter to Senator Hitchcock, the Democratic leader, in which he said that "in my opinion, the resolution in that form does not provide for ratification, but rather for the nullification of the treaty." To this statement Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin, took issue for the Republicans. "The time has gone by," he declared, "when general statements like that, having no foundation MOTORCYCLE OFFICERS GET INCREASED SALARY Supervisors Allow Sheriff 18 Cents per Meal for Feeding Prisoners.

The application of O. V. Dart to move a house over county highways from one-half mile west of Garden Grove to a point one-half mile west of Westminster, and also to move a house over county highway a short distance on South Main street in Delhi, was granted. The assessment on Lots 5 and 6, Block 75, Santa Ana East, was reduced $500, the building on said lots being used part of the time for Sunday school. The hearing on the petition for the formation of Buaro Drainage District was continued to December 2, 1919, at 10 a.m. The sheriff was allowed $0.18 per meal for feeding prisoners at the county jail. Garden Grove road in Road District No. 2, was accepted, as improved by Redondo Construction Company, contractors. J. L. McBride was appointed County Engineer of the County of Orange, for the term of four years to take effect January 1, 1920, at a salary of $3000 per year. A deed for right of way from John Luehm and Mary Luehm was accepted, and declared a county road. A deed for right of way from Lilly Busch, August A. Busch and Charles Nagel, trustees, was accepted, and declared a county road. The clerk was directed to give notice of the sale of Lot 8 of Birch Addition to Santa Ana, said sale to be made at public auction on Dec. 16, 1919, at 11 a.m. at the south door of the county court house.

To this statement Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin, took issue for the Republicans. "The time has gone by," he declared, "when general statements like that, having no foundation in fact, can be longer made and the American people be deceived thereby. I shall be sorry indeed if this issue must get into a political campaign. It ought not to. There ought not to be any partisan considerations in a matter of this character. But if need be that the Republican party must again assume the obligation to stand for Americanism, and the Democratic party choose to stand upon this treaty as it was drawn and defeat it because we have Americanized, it, we will welcome the issue." Only eleven Republicans voted against the treaty as it was Americanized, while forty-two Democrats opposed it because it did not exactly suit the President. "As soon as the people recover from this pipe dream they will see good old human nature and the law of cause and effect doing business at the same old stand," Senator Brandegee told the Senate. THE SUGAR SHORTAGE While the war was going on, and we were shipping sugar across to Europe to the boys who were fighting across the seas, there was no complaint of the sugar shortage, for we were willing to spare all we could.

The first comprehensive report on the "Direct and Indirect Costs of the War" has just been made by the Carnegie endowment for international peace and published in a volume of that title: After taking each of the countries separately on both sides and summarizing the total direct and total indirect costs, the report gives the direct cost as $186,000,000,000, and states that the indirect costs "have amounted to almost as much more." The capitalized value of soldier human life, which is given among the "indirect" costs, is placed at $33,551,276,280. The property losses are divided as follows: On land, $29,960,000,000; on sea, $6,800,000,000. Loss of production is an indirect cost of the war, which has meant to the nations $45,000,000,000. War relief added $1,000,000,000. The loss to neutrals through indirect cost is placed at $1,750,000,000. Total indirect costs to all nations, including neutrals, is $151,612,542,560.

Activity is general throughout the fields of the southland. One hundred and twenty wells are drilling. A year ago the field showed 108 wells drilling. The number of producers now number 856 wells, a year ago 770 wells were producing, making 86 wells completed since November, 1918! The daily output a year ago was approximately 78,000 barrels, today the southern field is making 82,000. Close to 3000 men are now being employed in the development of the oil resources of Southern California, and the monthly payroll covering this great army of oil workers runs close to $260,000 a month. The well of mystery is not a mystery any more. Some time ago some property was taken over near Olive for oil development, it being surmised that the Standard was the lessor. However, it is now definitely known that the well located and for which a rig is up, is owned and will be drilled by the Commonwealth Petroleum Company. The new wildcat well will be drilled with an electric motor, a method that is fast becoming popular. A drop of 150 barrels in two weeks is the way the Amalgamated's Yorba No. 1 well, the fourth producer in the Placentia-Richfield district, is falling "Is this good business" we're asking business men. Right now the stocks we bought for fall are worth a lot more than we paid for them. Market prices have gone up. Should we take advantage of that and charge more? We think not. We haven't raised prices; we're selling at old figures; we're giving you the benefit. It's good business for you anyway. F.A. Yungbluth "By All Means Get a Fit." Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes F.A.Yungbluth "By All Means Get a Fit." Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes A drop of 150 barrels in two weeks is the way the Amalgamated's Yorba No. 1 well, the fourth producer in the Placentia-Richfield district, is falling in production. Two weeks ago this well went on the beam at 200 barrels and looked like it would hold up. Today the well dropped to 50 barrels, and does not make the surrounding country look very promising for the large number of wildcat wells now drilling. After laboring with the heaving sand for a couple of months the Amalgamated has succeeded in cleaning out Ibbitson No. 1, mudded up the hole and is now making new hole at 3320. The formation at this depth is brown shale, with no oil indications as yet. At 2265 the Amalgamated's Potter well got out of the hard conglomerate formation that has been holding the drilling back for more than 1500 feet. The change from conglomerate to blue shale at this depth compares favorably with the big Chapman well. On the Breen well the conglomerate continues at 1050 feet. At 3300 feet the Clark Oil Company set a string of 8¼ pipe and the well will be allowed to stand a couple of weeks. To date the Clark has some wonderful success drilling Wetzel No. 1, only one fishing job of any importance delayed the well. Most of the hole was made with Sharp & Hughes cone bits, and the hole is regarded as one of the most perfect ever drilled. The Richfield-Yorba Oil Company, one of the latest concerns to start development work at Richfield, spudded in on its No. 1 well last Saturday. A week's drilling shows 900 feet of hole. The new concern is a mutual company, the workers on the well giving their time for stock in the company. This method seems to work soon as the work of making ready is completed. Chapman No. 2 is held with a fishing job at 1177. Chapman No. 3 has stood cemented for 10 days and will be opened soon. Another big gusher even greater than No. 1 is expected here. Chapman No. 4 started a few days ago and showed 700 feet of hole. No. 5 is drilling at 2425 in the conglomerate. No. 6 is rigging up No. 7 has the rig built, No. 8 is building rig, and No. 9 is a new location. Coyle No. 1, a new well, has the rig up. The Coyle and Bogue is drilling at 1600 feet. DicksonNo. 1 recovered from a bad fishing job and is drilling at 2425. McFadden No. 1 is making hole in brown shale at 3000 feet. Morse No. 1 stands cemented at 2200 feet. Thompson & Goodwin No. 1 is now making hole at 1155. Yorba No. 1, a new well, is down 600 feet. The Union's new wells located are Towell No. 2 and 3, Esther Newell No. 1, Morris No. 2 and a well on the Shepard property. On the Bradford property the Petroleum Development Company (Santa Fe) has four wells making hole. No. 2 is a deep well of the holding, now making hole at better than 3000. The showing of oil and gas is making the well look good. No. 1 is drilling at 1300. Bradford 1-B-3 is down past the 2100 mark and No. 2-B-1 shows 500 feet of hole. BIG REALTY DEAL REPORTED LAST WEEK 150 Acres of Bixby Ranch Sold to Santa Ana Men for $200,000. F.E.Farnsworth of the Orange opment of the property to a higher degree and will operate it as an investment. It is possible that at some time in the future it will be divided and sold off in small tracts. WHY IS THIS THUSLY Twelve radicals arrested in Seattle last winter for an alleged attempt to overthrow the municipal government there are at liberty, despite the fact warrants for their deportation were issued March 17, it developed at the hearing of the congressional committee on naturalization and immigration at Ellis Island. The twelve men were paroled upon agreement to appear when wanted, it was disclosed. They never have appeared. When the deportation warrants were received, Congressman Raker of California said, immigration official at Ellis Island asked the department of labor what action it should take to apprehend the men. The department ordered the Ellis Island officials to hold the warrants until January 1, Raker said. These men, in the opinion of the congressional committee, were among the most dangerous radicals ever apprehended in the United States. Their arrival in New York when brought from Seattle, created a small riot by sympathizing "reds," it was pointed out. HERMAN P. NOLL Why FI The Richfield-Yorba Oil Company, one of the latest concerns to start development work at Richfield, spudded in on its No. 1 well last Saturday. A week's drilling shows 900 feet of hole. The new concern is a mutual company, the workers on the well giving their time for stock in the company. This method seems to work out very nicely, as it gives the employees a working interest in the well. The Standard Oil Company's Kraemer 1-5 brought in 10 days ago a 125-barrel well, developed so much bottom water that it has been re-cemented and is now standing. Kraemer 1-6 is drilling at 1750 feet. At Kraemer 1-4 a sidetracking job has prevented any new hole being made for the past week. At Placentia on the Kraemer No. 3 property the Standard has five wells making hole. No. 3 is drilling at 750 feet, No. 4 at 1667, No. 5 at 1920 feet and No. 6 at 140, and No. 7 at 1134 feet. The Collins well on property adjoining the Kraemer on the west is cleaning out and a further effort being made to make the well produce. The Collins well was completed more than three months ago, but has baffled every attempt made to get the well cleaned out and in producing condition. All eyes are on the development work of the Union Oil Company in the Placentia-Richfield district. The Union has 12 strings of tools running, and present plans calling for the starting of five more new wells as BIG REALTY DEAL REPORTED LAST WEEK 150 Acres of Bixby Ranch Sold to Santa Ana Men for $200,000. F. E. Farnsworth of the Orange County Trust & Savings Bank, and A. W. Rutan, of the law firm of Rutan & Head, are the owners of the Bixby company 150-acre tract at Villa Park, they having this week consummated the deal which involves one of the largest financial transactions made in the county in recent months. The consideration was approximately $200,000 or about $1333 per acre. There are about 20 acres of lemons, 91 acres of walnuts and 24 acres of Valencias, the balance being vacant land. Hugh Thompson and Willard Smith, of Villa Park, were the agents in the big transaction. The property has been in the possession of the Bixbys for thirty years or more, and Hugh Thompson has been managing the ranch property for many years. It lies immediately north of the improved highway through Villa Park and just east of the Santiago creek, and extends back to the foothills. In the early days, the Bixby house was one of the commanding sights of the district. The property at that time was devoted to grain. Since the introduction of citrus and walnut culture in that section the property has been developed into good producing holdings.
