NEW MIDWAY GUSHER HELPS GAS COMPANY Yarnell Well Now Yielding Four Million Feet Per Day. The new Midway Petroleum gusher in the Placentia field is of essential interest to the consumers of the Southern Counties Gas Company of California, as the bringing in of this well will make available an additional supply of natural gas for the Southern Counties company. When the well was originally brought in, a tremendous volume of gas, estimated at from fifteen to twenty million cubic feet, came out of the ground daily, but within the last few days the well has commenced to produce oil, and the flow of gas has settled down to approximately four million cubic feet per day, with a possible fluctuation downward rather than upward. The necessary steps have been taken to collect and conserve all of the natural gas produced by the well, and it is the belief of all concerned that within the week the gas from this well will be flowing into the mains of the Southern Counties Gas Company. If the well continues to produce steadily four million cubic feet per day as indications point that it may, the industrial consumers of the Southern Counties Gas Company in Orange county, which wege recently cut off because of the natural gas shortage, may be furnished with gas again. The Southern Counties Gas Company is doing everything within its power to augment its present supply of natural gas, and it is hoped that the development in the Placentia dis- BASEBALL The way the Anaheim Tigers started to swat the pill in the first inning in the game Sunday when they lined up against the Long Beach team it looked like taking candy from a baby, but as the session progressed the errors and fumbles on both sides became of such alarming frequency that the fans found it impossible to work up an argument, even though the score board showed 3 to 1 in favor of the home team at the final tap of the gong in the first half of the ninth, the home boys not playing their last frame. Miller, a coast leaguer, pitched for the Tigers, and had the seaside lads up a stump with his drops and in and out shoots. Many fans incline to the opinion that Miller is the best pitcher seen here this season. He had the beachites fanning the air throughout the game, and their leaders held several ghost dances during the afternoon in a vain attempt to devise some means to checkmate the clever local twirler, who was a real enigma to them. Wildman, who was on the mound for Long Beach, had an assortment of curves but was wild and the locals found him easy picking. Glenn Callan and Hillman scored in the first inning, and while the bases filled up, the visitors took a hitch in their belts and prevented any more home comings in the initial spasm. Franklin brought in a tally in the eighth, while Long Beach annexed it's lone run in the fourth. WATER COMPANY Many Shares of Saturday's M The board of heim Union W Saturday to levy per share.

Hillman also shows class when it comes to stealing a base. The attendance was not up to standard, caused no doubt by the unsettled state of the weather. STRANGE THUMPING SOUNDS DISTINCTLY HEARD Can it be Possible that the Fullerton Ghost has Moved Over to This City? Anaheim will not permit Fullerton to get ahead of her from a spook standpoint, and now that the neighboring city to the north has razed the old and dehapitated structure used in past years as a jail, which was said to have been haunted, it is said the wreath has taken up its abode here in the ancient landmark on East Center street. A few evenings ago the strange phenomenon was experienced by a party of gentlemen who were engaged in playing a social game of "500." At the hour of eight, when there was not another person in the upper rooms, and not a soul in the jail tanks, a thumping sound, as though someone had hit against a wall with his fist, was heard.

I divided my chocolates with the other inmates—poor creatures! They enjoyed them more than I enjoyed a tea at the St. Francis. The matron was a dear—just charming. We're going to be very good friends. She wants me to come again some time—oh, just to call, you know. I left her my roses. The food in jail was all right, but was all table d'hote, nothing a la carte. Niceties sent by friends bridged the gap of the outer world and my small cell. And, speaking of my cell—I became quite used to it—it was the inevitable. I couldn't help it, but I'd hate to say how many times I crowded those bars. Every jall breaking scheme of the last three years of moving pictures flashed upon my memory. Now I'm wondering how those film villains did it. But I felt I was only in for three days, so why bother. But the Governor pardoned me, and I'm out—but without a license to drive for thirty days. And these are such lovely days—just perfect for driving. Well, now that it's all over: Here's for a safe and sane city. YARNELL A DISASTER HEAVY DAMAGE TOLL Well is Making Four Million Feet of Gas. Flowing Oil and Water Continuously.

Miss Lucille Krause, who spent two days in the city jail at Berkeley because she drove an auto thirty-five miles an hour, relates her short experience while behind prison doors, as follows: Had breakfast at 7 o'clock Sunday morning. Such an ungodly hour! But it was not so bad when you have to go to bed at 9 the night before. That when the lights go out. Imagine it! Nine o'clock, and on a Saturday night. That's the time one usually starts out for a good time. It reminded me of training camp, without the bugle. My experience at jail? It was just a good rest—with a chance of study. Did a little writing, too. Wrote a few limericks, a couple of stories for the Pelican and an editorial for the Occident. And, speaking of local color—say, I met everyone—everything from a window breaker to a heartbreaker. Applied my psychology and found they were quite human; very interesting too. We even got to calling each other by our first names. In fact, everyone is introduced by their first name in jail. They all called Hartman; J. C. Craft 17 shares to G. W. Sandilands; McD.

MISS KRAUSE TALKS ABOUT JAIL EXPERIENCE Flowing oil by heads and some water, Yarnell No. 4 is now a great gas producer. The gas under 250 pounds pressure is shooting the oil out through the lead line with tremendous force, throwing the oil into a spray, a large part of which floats away in the air. The well is making some water. This water mixed with the gas cuts the oil into a red emulsion, making the oil produced of little value, says the Progress. A close estimate on the amount of gas the well is making places the figure at about four million feet. The oil production is approximately four hundred barrels. At times the well will make a heavy flow and the appearance of a volume of oil coming out of the 8-inch pipe makes it look like a ten thousand barrel well. The appearance of the country around about the well presents one of the most destructive that any oil country ever presented. The situation is very discouraging to say the least. Acres and acres of full bearing orange trees are ruined. The top soil for a quarter of a mile is so oil soaked that nothing will grow on it for years to come. Had the Petroleum Midway's well been the property of anyone but a big oil company with money the owner would have been ruined. The disaster works a hardship on the oil industry, the farmers and land owners, and is far reaching its effects. The blowing out and destruction of a well by fire, the destruction of orchards and the loss of property will make oil operators hesitate to lease lands in citrus districts, and the land owner will also hesitate to allow wells to be drilled on his property unless the property is bought outright.

The figbe made public give the metroal population of compared with the estimate of 7,000,000 for the metropolitan district of London. The reservation to Article X merely provides that this country cannot be involved in war without the consent of the representatives of the people in Congress. Can you imagine a real friend of peace or of the American people opposing such a provision for the preservation of the constitutional right of Congress to declare when this country shall and when it shall not go to war? WHAT IS MR. HOOVER'S IDEA? The New York World quotes Mr. Hoover as saying that he is "not the Penrose kind of Republican nor the Bryan kind of Democrat." Now what kind of a conclusion does Mr. Hoover expect the American people to arrive at from this statement? Mr. Penrose, in the last campaign in which he participated in Pennsylvania, defeated his nearest opponent by a vote of two to one. Mr. Bryan was three times the nominee of his party, determined the nomination of Mr. Wilson in 1912, and is today probably the strongest single force in the Democratic party. If Mr. Hoover is not the Penrose kind of a Republican or the Bryan kind of a Democrat, it would be interesting to know where he expects to get his popular support in his campaign for the Presidency. BIG GAIN IN SUGAR EXPORTS Although there were general complaints of a sugar shortage in this country last year, exports of the commodity during that time exceeded those of the year before by more than 1,000,000,000 pounds, according to Department of Commerce records. Exports reached a total of 1,475,407,673 pounds, compared with 407,296,324 pounds the year before. A. A. Hardison, of Placentia, has reported to the Anaheim police the theft or loss of a diamond stick pin which he says was on a coat he sent to the cleaners. The pin was missing when the coat returned. It had a safety clasp, was 14-karat and was valued at $100.
