IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) The continued shortage of pipe is getting to be a serious matter with the oil operators of Southern California. Already a number of the operating concerns have had to cut down on the number of strings of tools running, and in some cases a few of the wells are now shut down. The shortage in casing is holding back the wildcat work to such an extent that tests for oil cannot be made unless the pipe is available soon. The big supply houses who make it their business to take care of the wants of the oil operators are at a point where they are unable to guarantee deliveries. With such a situation facing the operators the starting of new work is a problem. Oil men are accustomed to doing things fast, and unless they can see their way clear the work will not be started. Success dawned on the Brea Canyon's No. 28 to such an extent that a string of lost tools have been recovered, a baller drilled up and out of the way, and 50 feet of new hole made. Drilling is now at 2800 feet and in oil sand. The hard conglomerate at No. 32 slowed the drilling, allowing only about 75 feet of hole to be made during the past week. The Heffern Sand Wash well No. 2 is rigged up and ready to start drilling, but the actual drilling is not to with steam. While the rig was a total loss, no one was hurt. The Standard’s Emery No. 35 is now drilling at 4685 feet, and is not showing any oil to speak of. Emery No. 36 came in doing less than a hundred barrels at 3664 feet. Emery No. 37 is drilling at 2850. The oil strike made by the Richfield-Yorba created quite a little excitement at Richfield a few days ago. The strike was made almost a thousand feet shallower than anywhere else in the field. Before this can be tested out it will be necessary to secure a string of 10-inch pipe. As no pipe can be gotten at this time the well will probably have to shut down or drill on without making the test. At 3180 feet the Union Oil Company’s Chapman No. 3 is drilling in the hardest oil sand ever struck in the field. Only a few feet a day can be made. As almost 100 feet of this hard oil sand has been drilled through without a break, the formation is a mystery. It was thought that this hard sand was a cap over a second and lively oil sand. The second oil sand is still being sought. Two bits (not 25 cents) are in the hole and holding up the drilling at Chapman No. 4. Chapman No. 5 struck a water sand at 2900 feet; drilling is starting with standard tools. Chapman No. 6 is drilling at 1675 feet. The Standard Oil Company has five wells drilling on the Kraemer No. 2 property. No. 3 is making holes in wards this public service says the consumers ing for illuminating about town.

Drilling is now at 2800 feet and in oil sand. The hard conglomerate at No. 32 slowed the drilling, allowing only about 75 feet of hole to be made during the past week. The Heffern Sand Wash well No. 2 is rigged up and ready to start drilling, but the actual drilling is not to start until assurance of getting the necessary casing for the well. Heffern No. 1 has stood cemented for a couple of weeks. The cement will be drilled out and the drilling resumed with cable tools. On the Bradford property the Petroleum Development Company has located two new wells, known as Bradford Nos. 4 and 5. Bradford No. 3 spudded in and shows 250 feet of hole. Bradford No. 2 is drilling in shale at 1900 feet. Bradford No. 1 is down 2600 feet in sticky shale. On the Bradford Community the cement is being drilled out at 3500 feet. Bradford Bros. No. 2 is a new location. Bradford Bros. No. 1 is producing 250 barrels. The Union Oil Company will add three more producing wells to the Brea field in a few weeks when Naranjal Nos. 8, 9, and 11 are completed. No. 8 is drilling in the oil sand at 3800 feet and No. 9 is in the oil sand at 3700 feet. No. 11, 3100 feet deep, is also in the oil sand. At Breene No. 1 the Amalgamated is having a lot of trouble in trying to get a string of drill pipe out. Three weeks have been consumed in fishing and the work is still going on. Yorba No. 2 is building rig, and Potter No. 1 stands cemented at 3175. The Clark Oil Company's Wetzel No. 1 is now drilling at close to 4000 feet. The formtalon is a sandy shale with little indication of oil. Unless the well shows up more encouraging than it does now, it is the intention of the Clark Oil Company to abandon the well after the 4000-feet mark is reached. Two bits (not 25 cents) are in the hole and holding up the drilling at Chapman No. 4. Chapman No. 5 struck a water sand at 2900 feet; drilling is starting with standard tools. Chapman No. 6 is drilling at 1675 feet. The Standard Oil Company has five wells drilling on the Kraemer No. 2 property. No. 3 is making hole in hard sand at 1655, No. 4 at 3019, No. 6 at 2600, and No. 7 at 1425. Hard sand is the prevailing formation in all the wells. No. 5 is standing with the 8-inch cemented at 3130. Collins No. 2 is building rig and setting boilers. Indications are getting stronger as the hole goes deeper for an oil well on the Santa Ana Canyon Oil Company's Crowther property. At 2600 feet the well is showing a lot of gas and some very good looking oil colorations. ENFORCE LAW ONLY WHEN PEOPLE BEHIND IT U.S.A Attorney Discusses Difficulties of Prohibition Enforcement. "The National Prohibition Act can only be properly enforced when the people of the country get behind it as they did when war was declared." In this statement Assistant United States Attorney W.H.Tully voiced the attitude of the government enforcement officers in an address before the members of the Home Industry League luncheon at the Palace Hotel. Tully in a careful, deliberate address, covered the prohibition question from the inception of the war, which he said, was responsible for the abolition of liquor. He was closely questioned on many intricate points of the new law, but his answers were definite only on points where rulings had been made by Washington. Home brew beverages, he said were taboo. On this phase of the law, he made it clear that the revenue officers did not intend to invade home privy where there was no outward so as to permit a school institution to be formed McComas comes w here and has classes in cities.

Walter Cadman sent a city demand in that issued to him, had hequested a duplicate. A communication with E.B.Merritt, city stated that since the city has quadrupled years, he asked that raised from $125 to and also asked that for extra clerical help year. The allowance board realizing that reasonable and well same was granted. Fire Chief Fischler regarding the over certain moving pick he said has occured in recent months. The Clark Oil Company's Wetzel No. 1 is now drilling at close to 4000 feet. The formation is a sandy shale with little indication of oil. Unless the well shows up more encouraging than it does now, it is the intention of the Clark Oil Company to abandon the well after the 4000-feet mark is reached. After cementing three times, the Fullerton Oil Company conquered the bottom water in Travis No. 1 and now has the well on the beam pumping 30 barrels a day. A grade is being made for Travis No. 2. The Fullerton's Anaheim Union is making hole in sandy shale at 2700 feet. The General Petroleum fished out a lost baller, recovered a string of 8-inch pipe at Thompson No. 1, and has the well in excellent condition again. The 6-inch pipe is going in, the well will be deepened, and in a few weeks the gusher will be back on production. Thompson No. 2 is drilling in the shale at 2300. Thompson No. 3 is drilling in the conglomerate at 1255. Yorba Group 4-1 is drilling at 850 and Stern No. 1 is making hole at 2143. Early last Sunday evening the Standard Oil Company's drilling rig No. 75 was completely destroyed by fire. A gas pocket was struck while the well was drilling at close to 2000 feet. The gas blew out with tremendous force, hurling rocks, sand and gravel up into the derrick. The friction of the flying rocks against the sand and drilling line is thought to have ignited the gas, which set the rig afire in a few moments. The fire was blown out from the inception of the war, which he said, was responsible for the abolition of liquor. He was closely questioned on many intricate points of the new law, but his answers were definite only on points where rulings had been made by Washington. Home brew beverages, he said were taboo. On this phase of the law, he made it clear that the revenue officers did not intend to invade home privacy where there was no outward evidence that the law was being violated. "The machinery for enforcement," he said, "will be set up along the lines of the Federal Secret Service. It is essential that the public shall not know who are the men sent out to spy on the real offenders. The patriotic citizen will obey the law. The violator must be apprehended by the same means of cunning under which he operates." "In the matter of week-end parties, or hunting lodges, if it can be shown that a habitat is maintained, it is doubtful if the keeping of liquor on the premises would constitute a violation of law. The form regarding permits must be observed, however." Tully was questioned at length on the grape issue by H. F. Stoll, representing the California Grape Growers' Association. To all queries he gave little encouragement to the vineyard interests of the State. Except for sacramental purposes, he said, wine must follow the fate of ardent spirits under the law.

Doings of the City Dads (Continued from page 1) wards this public service. As Mr. Gibbs says the consumers of light are paying for illuminating the vacant lots about town. This matter was referred to the manager and ordinance committee who were instructed to prepare data and present it to the board at the next meeting. It is said at Glendale the charge for light is two cents per kilowatt; here it is seven cents. There is every indication that a lower rate will be adopted, and the cost of street lighting will be paid for by an increased tax on property generally. In that event consumers will pay for just what they use, and the public will bear the expense of street lighting, which seems reasonable. From all indications the tax rate next year will be raised. It is now $1.45 on the $100. R. McComas of Pomona, who is desirous of organizing a physical culture school here, again addressed the council regarding securing a permit to do so. McComas' plan was looked upon with favor and the attorney was instructed to amend a city ordinance so as to permit a school of athletic instruction to be formed in this city. McComas comes well recommended, and has classes in other Southland cities. He will make a specialty of wrestling, but will also instruct his class in boxing. The class will also give exhibitions, for which a nominal fee will be charged. Everything connected with his enterprise will be strictly along amateur lines and there will be no professionals attached to BASEBALL It was a long road and a heavy load for the Anaheim ball tossers on Sunday afternoon when they went up against the Stahl-Dean All Stars of Los Angeles and a comedy of errors further distressed them. But in the last half of the ninth somebody put a bur under the saddle, when the locals as a climax displayed a burst of speed and got three men over the plate tying the score—6 to 6. The Anaheim boys were in fast company and Maple, who was on the mound for the visitors, pitched great ball, but it looked like the whole bunch went up in the air in the final session. The Tigers came to life and began knocking out singles and doubles so frequently that you could hear the echo coming back from the high school buildings. Moffat performed for the home boys, but looked as though he had not thawed out thoroughly and was hammered to beat the band. In the sixth inning, Salveson was substituted, but he also, not being in practice, was wild as a hare, but towards the last settled down and did fairly well. Many fans believed that if he had been warmed up at the start and put in the box he would have held down the Stahl-Beaners and there no doubt would have been a different story to tell. Some of the errors chalked up to the locals caused groans to go around among the bleachers, but the best of players have their off days. Two of these lads later got down to their knitting and Salveson has speed, but it's not giving him a fair show to put him in the box to warm up. The fans were rather peaceable, nothing seeming to happen to cause them to break up the furniture. Reardon of Los Angeles umpired splendidly. He knows the game all the way, and all the fans hope he will come again. The baseball editor has received through the mail the following reference to the game played here on Sunday, the 18th inst: "The Anaheim baseball club went to a defeat Sunday the 18th on account of poor support, and not on account of the pitcher as the crowd all said, and there was only one hit off of Lan Franco. All the rest were errors. There were three balls that went through the second baseman, one through the short stop and one through the third baseman, and of course they were all counted as hits to Lan Franco, when they couldn't stop them. There were only five hits made by the Anaheim club and three of those hits were made by Beco Lan Franco and all the rest of the eight men together only made two hits." BAGGED FOR BOOZE SMUGGLING Charged with violating the prohibition law and with smuggling whiskey across the border, Jesus Lujan and Rita Quenes, Mexicans, were arrested at Indian Wells Wednesday afternoon by Constable Boatwright of Indio, so as to permit a school of athletic instruction to be formed in this city. McComas comes well recommended, and has classes in other Southland cities. He will make a specialty of wrestling, but will also instruct his class in boxing. The class will also give exhibitions, for which a nominal fee will be charged. Everything connected with his enterprise will be strictly along amateur lines and there will be no professionals attached to the club whatever. McComas proposes to organize an athletic club of 50 or more local young men, who will be given instruction in various lines of physical culture and indoor sports. Upon recommendation of the police committee the salary of the three deputy marshals was raised to $11g per month. When Marshal Wood was asked whether or not this advance would be satisfactory that official replied he did not know. It was not for him to decide, he said. It is understood the deputies asked for a $25 raise while the board after several weeks consideration made it $15. Messrs. Sherer and Kuebler having moved buildings without damage to adjoining property, their $50 check deposits were ordered returned to them. Another man made application to move a house, and since it was learned that the building had already been moved, the request was granted, and all the members indulged in a hearty laugh. Walter Cadman sent a letter saying a city demand in the amount of $24, issued to him, had been lost, and requested a duplicate. So ordered. A communication was received from E. B. Merritt, city clerk, in which he stated that since the business of the city has quadrupled in the last four years, he asked that his salary be raised from $125 to $150 per month, and also asked that $600 be allowed for extra clerical help for the ensuing year. The allowance now is $125. The board realizing that the request was reasonable and well deserved, the same was granted. Fire Chief Fischle made criticism regarding the overcrowding at a certain moving picture show which he said has occurred frequently in recent months. Extra chairs have been placed in the studio Fischle said. BAGGED FOR BOOZE SMUGGLING Charged with violating the prohibition law and with smuggling whiskey across the border, Jesus Lujan and Rita Quenes, Mexicans, were arrested at Indian Wells Wednesday afternoon by Constable Boatwirght of Indio, taken to Riverside and lodged in the county pall. The two gave their address as Santa Ana. Lujan said he had expected to get $200 for the whiskey in Santa Ana or $20 per pint. Lujan and the woman he says is his wife, were in the former's automobile when they were arrested. Boatwright found twelve pints of whiskey in a suitcase. He said the whisvey had been smuggled across the border. As the woman was taken in charge by the matron at the jail, she asked the sheriff to get her some cigarettes. The Mexicans were arraigned before the rest of the eight men together only made two hits." PROMINENCE Steve Keen the most publicized died at N.W.

Fire Chief Fischle made criticism regarding the overcrowding at a certain moving picture show which he said has occurred frequently in recent months. Extra chairs have been placed in the aisles, Fischle said, and the space just inside the main entrance has also been utilized for seating capacity. Fire Crief Fischle is desirous of protecting the lives of the public at all times, and says if anything should go wrong he and his company would receive the blame. It was also urged that an independent lighting service be installed at picture show houses, to be used at once should the regular city lights be extinguished, which has happened at various times. The board instructed the attorney to advise the fire chief in the matter. The finance committee audited bills in the amount of $1824.09, which were paid. The tax collector reported the collection of $81.95 for delinquent taxes. Did you know that I am going out of the jewelry business? Come in and let us show you what big discounts we are offering.

When one contemplates the success that has attended that terrible "fight" up to date, the word "continue" in this connection is really good. Guy Meats of Olive came over to see the game. Guy formally did the backstop work in many semi-professional contests here and always gave a good account of himself. George Peters of Santa Ana just couldn't resist the temptation any longer and had to get over and see them perform. Edward Raines, another old-time baseball fan, mingled with the throng. Ed will take in a ball game if it is within a radius of 1000 miles. Louie Handleman got so excited that he rared around like a two year old when the locals got in the lime-light. W. J. Wallop was there, but did not take on much excitement. Fay Lewis and A. J. Fay headed a bunch of fans who took delight in kidding the manager. Yes, Rammage, you must learn to spike the sack. Zeke Ayers, ordinarily very clever, mussed up a couple of hot ones, but steadied down as the old game rolled on. Glenn Callan made a couple of sensational catches over among the flivvers on the left sideline.
