OIL FIELD NOTES There is a rumor afloat that the New York-California Oil Company may sell its holdings near Orange County Park and retire from the oil business. The company drilled 465 feet of hole and set 15 1-2-inch pipe. The name of the prospective buyer of the holdings could not be learned. The Selby-Root-Hogue Oil Company has started drilling on the Wardman property and now shows 500 feet of hole. Drilling is going good, but a little slow, in the hard conglomerate. At Dominguez No. 1 drilling is on iron at 2835 feet, a wall hook being in the hole. Continued trouble with the hole caving is proving a serious menace to progress on the National Exploration Company's Olinda No. 1. At 900 feet the caving started and during the past week no new hole has been made on account of this new difficulty. Thus far the Olinda well is proving to be the National Exploration Company's most difficult project undertaken in the California field. The Union Oil Company has succeeded in extinguishing the fire at Stearns No. 57 after a long and hard battle. Steam under high pressure from a battery of 12 boilers and the combined effort of a chemical engine did the work. A new derrick will be erected over the ruins of the burned well and re-drilling started as soon as possible. No. 58 is now drilling in the oil much progress, is doing a lot of work on a number of wells that are hard propositions. Bradford No. 1 is now redrilling at 3975 feet and will stand cemented for a time at 3850 feet. Bradford No. 3 stands with cement setting at 3800 feet. Bradford No. 5 is drilling in hard shale at 3200 feet. Bradford Bros. No. 3 is making a hole at 1900 feet, and Bradford Community is redrilling at 370 feet. The Petroleum Midway has put the finishing touches onto the rigging up at Richfield No. 1 and is ready to start drilling. At Steiner No. 1 work is under way to shut off water and put the well in production condition. Isaacs No. 1 is standing cemented at 2880 feet. Carter No. 1 is drilling in shale at 2955 feet. At Yarnell I-A the cement is being drilled out and a water test made. Yarnell No. 12 is drilling in blue shale at 2550 feet. Yarnell 14 is a new well now drilling at 800 feet. Getting a very satisfactory shut-off on the water at 3108 feet, the Amalgamated Oil Company is drilling ahead on the Breen at 3120 feet in oil sand. Mann No. 1 is at 2975 feet in shale and boulders. Potter No. 2 is at 825 feet in the conglomerate. Page No. 1, a new well, is rigging up. The Fullerton Oil Company's deep test well at Brda, brought in a couple of weeks ago at a depth of 4315 feet, has settled down to a regular production of 200 barrels daily. It was thought at first that as the well got cleaned up and in better shape to reduce, it would do better. A 200-barrel well is always welcome anywhere, and, besides, operators now know what to expect by deep drilling is of great navies new some of these enthusiastic own country came in as a sea power, it is not that it is high time waste of both military preparations for predation power should cease.

The United States of attack upon any other this government should offensive war is inconvenient all the population it take care of; it has no over for covering and The Union Oil Company has succeeded in extinguishing the fire at Stearns No. 57 after a long and hard battle. Steam under high pressure from a battery of 12 boilers and the combined effort of a chemical engine did the work. A new derrick will be erected over the ruins of the burned well and re-drilling started as soon as possible. No. 58 is now drilling in the oil sand at 2245 feet and looks good at this comparatively shallow depth. No. 61 is re-drilling at 2400 feet, a little over a hundred feet off bottom. No. 64 is standing with the cement setting at 900 feet. After 13 months of work trying to shut off water at No.73 the West Coast Oil Company is abandoning the well. Cement was placed at every depth from 1710 to 1750 feet repeatedly. Each time the water came in seemingly unhindered. Just why the water could not be shut off with the ordinary methods is a mystery. Other wells have been drilled successfully and the water shut off without difficulty. The well will be abandoned according to state mining bureau regulations. No. 77 is scheduled to be the West Coast's next producer. Now drilling at 2700 feet, it is showing strong and will be completed soon. No. 87 is a completed rig. No. 88 drilling in the conglomerate at 1590 feet. The run of conglomerate in this well has been the longest ever known in the Olinda field. Starting at 600 feet, it has continued without a break for more than 1100 feet. Definite and active work on the Gold Seal Petroleum's well in Little Brea canyon has started. The new management has cleaned out the hole and made a careful study of the conditions. Finding some water that had not been shut off, it is the intention now to go back to 2300 feet and set a string of eight-inch. The Gold Seal people feel that they have a chance to get something and are going right ahead with the work. The Union Oil Company has gone in strong on the deep drilling in the Placentia-Richfield district and has a number of wells running from 4000 to 4500 feet deep. On the Chapman lease No. 5 is 4050 feet deep and showing lots of oil with gas. Chapman No. 7 is drilling in the oil sand at 4200 Page No. 1, a new well, is rigging up. The Fullerton Oil Company's deep test well at Brea, brought in a couple of weeks ago at a depth of 4315 feet, has settled down to a regular production of 200 barrels daily. It was thought at first that as the well got cleaned up and in better shape to reduce, it would do better. A 200-barrel well is always welcome anywhere and, besides, operators now know what to expect by deep drilling at Brea. The Olive Petroleum Company is making a second test for water at 3050 feet. The results of the second cementing are being awaited with some interest as the well had a rather good showing of oil prior to the cementing. The Globe Petroleum Corporation is another company added to the already long list of prospectors for oil in the Huntington Beach field. With a lease of some 30 acres, the Globe is getting ready to prove its territory, backing its efforts with a record of 32 producing wells in various sections of California. General Manager Stabler states the Globe Petroleum has holdings that will produce big in the new field, being near the Standard's Bolsa Chica well. With the securing of what are reported as excellent indications of oil and gas in the well being drilled in the northern section of the Huntington Beach field by the Venture Oil Company, this portion of the field is becoming more and more regarded as due to materially extend the scope of drilling operations here. That the outlook for production here is considered highly promising is attested by the increasing activity in the section of the field lying north and east of the Bolsa Chica well. Several new rigs have risen here, and as machinery is installed and drilling commenced these operations will be closely followed by oil operators with a view to further determine just what production can be expected from this field. DISARMAMENT MUTUAL BUT NOT SOLITARY The New York World, organ chief of the movement to thrust down the throats of the American people the unexpurgated, made by-of-and-for The Union Oil Company has gone in strong on the deep drilling in the Placentia-Richfield district and has a number of wells running from 4000 to 4500 feet deep. On the Chapman lease No. 5 is 4050 feet deep and showing lots of oil with gas. Chapman No. 7 is drilling in the oil sand at 4200 feet and is looking good. Dickson No. 1 is also a deep well drilling at 3875 feet. So is Coyle & Bogue No. 1, drilling in sandy shale at 3960 feet. Yorba No. 1, drilled to 3735, is re-drilling at 3225 feet. The Union Oil's deep well, Shepard No. 1, is held up with casing trouble. The four and one-half inch parted about 700 feet down. It is expected that there will be little trouble in screwing in again and getting the log string together. The hole is 4547 feet, the second deepest well drilling in the field. Dorsey, completed at 3430 feet, came in with an 80-barrel well, went to water a few days afterward and is now being drilled deeper. Shanklin No. 1 and Placentia Orchard No. 1 are both held up with fishing jobs. Getting into a bad fishing job at 1050 feet, the Placentia-Pacific has had wonderful success in getting out and recovering all the pipe in a little less time than three weeks. The hole is now being reamed to the bottom and a string of 15-inch pipe set. The good work accomplished thus far has been under the directon of "Pat" Adams, a former Standard Oil man. The Petroleum Development Company, while seemingly not making and drilling commenced these operations will be closely followed by oil operators with a view to further determine just what production can be expected from this field. DISARMAMENT MUTUAL BUT NOT SOLITARY The New York World, organ chief of the movement to thrust down the throats of the American people the unexpurgated, made by-of-and-for Europe covenant of the league of nations, has developed a sudden enthusiasm for disarmament as a means of preserving the peace of the world. Disarmament as a method of preventing wars is so obvious a contribution that the World has been wondering why it was never thought of, except in the most incidental way, by the framers of the Paris peace treaty and the league of nations covenant. The five great powers which dominated the proceeding at Paris made ample provisions for the disarming of the whole conquered nations. It was arranged that this body would have power to recommend a program which the member nations would be at liberty individually, to accept or reject. In other words, the question of disarmament was left just where it was before the war, to the decision of each nation. There was no pretense that naval disarmament was thought of. On the contrary it was freely stated that the world's dominant naval power intended to maintain that supremacy as a measure necessary to its own safety and the security of the world. Upon the heels of the official announcement that such progress has been made in American naval construction that the United States navy the less commendable demand from some of the chief proponents of the league of nations for naval as well as military disarmament. Even if the per- ANAHEIM GAZETTE ils of great navies never occurred to some of these enthusiasts until their own country came in sight of primacy as a sea power, it is nevertheless true that it is high time that the wicked waste of both military and naval preparations for predominance by any power should cease. The United States has better reasons than any other power possesses for creating and maintaining the greatest navy in the world. That is true, first, because this nation does not need and is not seeking additional territory, and is the only great power as the peace conference demonstrated, that is not out to seize all it has the power to take. Therefore a great American navy would be a defensive and not an offensive institution. The United States has a greater domestic coast line to defend than any other power; its length is that of the whole coast line of Europe from Archangel to the Black Sea. A dozen great American cities could be laid waste by a hostile navy. The United States has two coast lines to defend, one of them fronting England, heretofore the world's greatest sea power, and the other Japan, the only rival of Great Britain and the United States in point of naval strength, and while it is inconceivable that these two powers would ever jointly attack the United States, they are allies. So long as we undertake to maintain the Monroe Doctrine, we have that policy to maintain throughout an entire hemisphere. The United States has no thought of attack upon any other nation. That this government should ever wage an offensive war is inconceivable. It has all the population it wants or could take care of; it has no reason whatsoever for covering anything that is anywhere on earth. UNCLE SAM'S SCHOOLS SHY OF STUDENTS Many Vacancies at West Point and Annapolis Since the War Applications for entrance to West Point and Annapolis form an interesting index today to America's economic situation—so far as the young men of the country are concerned. This developed here today in the belief expressed by officials of both academies that the present economic depression in the United States—whatever its cause or its probable duration—would remedy a situation which America's military and naval schools have faced since the end of the war. This situation, which developed almost immediately after the signing of the armistice, manifested itself in a disinclination of the American youth to adopt the career of either soldier or sailor. Application for entrance to West Point and Annapolis began to slump. The young man either was 'sick of waring and everything pertaining thereunto, or he found the opportunities in commercial and industrial life so attractive financially that he lost interest in the advantages presented by Uncle Sam's educational institutions. As a result, congressmen in all parts of the country reported they were meeting difficulty in obtaining candidates for West Point and Annapolis. For a while the situation seemed serious. Even today some congressmen have failed to name their candidates, because they were unable to obtain applicants. But the situation is beginning now to adjust itself rapidly, according to both army and naval authorities here. sent to represent Southern California growers. The delegate will probably be appointed at the committee meeting Thursday in the Farm Bureau office. Another growers' meeting will be held at the Westminster School House Wednesday, Jan. 12, 7:30 p.m. The growers of this section will be given an opportunity to poln the association. Among the speakers will be J. P. Britt, deputy state market director; Prof. L. B. Smith of Berkeley; H. E. Wahiberg, farm advisor; M. Chuml, Tustin, and J. A. Knapp. (Increasing Capital Stock) NOTICE OF Meeting of Stockholders of WEST ANAHEIM WATER CO., a Corporation, to Consider a Proposition to Increase the Capital Stock of said Corporation. NOTICE is hereby given that, in pursuance of a resolution and order of the board of directors of West Anaheim Water Co., a corporation, unanimously adopted at a special meeting of said board, duly held at the office and principal place of business of said corporation in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, on the 10th day of January, 1921, all members of said board being present, a special meeting of the stockholders of said corporation will be held at the office of the corporation at the residence of the secretary, at No. 1302 of West Center Street, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, the same being the principal place of business of said corporation and being the building where the board of directors of said corporation usually meets, on Friday the 18th day of March, 1921, at the hour of ten o'clock A.M., for the purposes of considering and acting upon a proposition to increase the capital stock of said corporation from Twenty-five Hundred ($2500). Dollars, divided into two hundred and fifty (250) shares inconceivable that these two powers would ever jointly attack the United States, they are allies. So long as we undertake to maintain the Monroe Doctrine, we have that policy to maintain throughout an entire hemisphere. The United States has no thought of attack upon any other nation. That this government should ever wage an offensive war is inconceivable. It has all the population it wants or could take care of; it has no reason whatsoever for covering anything that is owned by any other nation on earth. The world's greatest navy under the flag of the United States would be a guarantee of peace and justice, not a menace of war. But the American people have no desire to "rule the seas" even for altruistic purposes. Their only desire is to protect themselves against the possibility of attack by any other power or combination of powers. In the absence of mutual disarmament naval as well as military, it is proper that this republic should have the greatest navy in the world. As the richest nation in the world, it possesses more than other nations might have the disposition to take from it, and, as the world's richest nation, it has the resources with which to carry on with the least sacrifice the construction of the world's greatest navy. It is not the policy of the United States to maintain a large military establishment. Unless European and Asiatic powers show more disposition than they have recently manifested to disarm in fact as well as in theory, our best insurance against attack would be a navy so strong that no other power could cross the seas with a military force sufficient to attack our shores. With a navy strong enough to prevent the landing of a military expedition from Europe or Asia, a war of defense could be waged with little if any military action. If there are to be navies and armies; if European and Asiatic powers are to continue the policy of acquisition they have maintained for centuries; if we are to be given no better guarantee of their willingness to turn over a new leaf than was afforded in the gradiliquent but empty phrases of the Versailles treaty and covenant; then this nation should not remain inferior in sea power to any other. By all means let us have worldwide, mutual disarmament. Let us destroy, root and branch, the possibility of war, at least on the vast scale and with the terrible results to hu- edition they have maintained for centuries; if we are to be given no better guarantee of their willingness to turn over a new leaf than was afforded in the gradilloquent but empty phrases of the Versailles treaty and covenant; then this nation should not remain inferior in sea power to any other. By all means let us have worldwide, mutual disarmament. Let us destroy, root and branch, the possibility of war, at least on the vast scale and with the terrible results to humanity made possible only by the years of deliberate preparation in every important European country for a quarter of a century preceding the world war. Let us abolish conscription for military service by constitutional change in every nation. Let us prohibit the construction of battleships beyond the domestic necessities of the several nations. Let us do all this, if the other great nations of the world will consent. There are some practical difficulties in the way. England has good reason for not destroying the naval power which makes her world-wide dominion possible. France has good reason for remaining armed against an historic foe conquered in the flesh but not in spirit. Much of the world has reason to remain on guard against a Russia of unlimited man power and without a government whose word is blinding. But talk of halting American naval construction in order that some other power may remain dominant on the seas, and this republic helpless, along all its vast coast line, against possible aggression, in the face of the grave possibilities of the future, is alien in its inspiration and un-American in its utterance. Phrases, we have learned at great cost, do not keep a nation out of war; they merely thrust a nation into war unprepared, and therefore subject it to penalties and sacrifices unnecessarily great. BEET GROWERS ACTIVE Farm Bureau Calls National Beet Growers' Convention at Chicago Committees soliciting beet growers of Orange and Los Angeles counties for an association are reporting good progress, according to Farm Advisor Wahlberg. "It will take considerable talk and real hard work to get the growers into a live organization and appreciate their strength in cooperative effort, but we find them more receptive now than ever before," he says, because they feel quite dissatisfied in several ways. Labor and crop returns are their chief grievances." A national convention of beet growers has been called by the American Federation of Farm Bureaus of Chicago for Jan. 17th. Representatives from every beet growing section in the United States will be there to work out a national project of combining the growers of the several states, for the purpose of studying marketing and field problems and put the industry on a stable basis.
