PAGE FOUR Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ...$1.50 SIX MONTHS ...$1.00 THREE MONTHS ...$ .50 Entred at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OFFICIAL CITY PAPER TWO MORE GUSHERS AT HUNTINGTON BEACH Anaheim Man One of the Fortunate Owners Bringing a steady royalty of perhaps $270 a day to a crippled ex-engineer of El Monte and joy to the hearts of hundreds of stockholders scattered over southern California, Texcal No. 2 came in at Huntington Beach Sunday night as a 2,000-barrel well. That was the second big gusher brought in in the beach field within two days. The other is a 2500-barrel Standard well located 400 feet north of what is known as Discovery well, the first well brought in at Huntington Beach. This well is the one that shot over the Standard derrick on Christmas morning. Water broke into the well, and the Standard has been ever since Christmas securing a shut-off. With the shut-off, the well is now flowing steadily at 2400 barrels a day, the biggest well in the field. A number of the wells so far brought in in the field have had a reduction in output within a week or two after the well is brought in. This well is 2750 feet deep. The oil is 32-gravity oil. Kline, of Riverside county, and which was favorably acted upon by both branches of the legislature. This road will receive an additional appropriation of $150,000. Both bills were sponsored by the Automobile Club of Southern California, and their passage materially aided by the club's efforts. These two highways, because they are parts of main arteries of motor travel connecting southern California with the east and south, are of inestimable value to all of southern California, from the San Joaquin valley and San Luis Obispo to San Diego and Imperial valley. Additional improved state highways practically insure the speedy development and settlement of regions heretofore only sparsely populated. The completion of the two roads above mentioned will make southern California points more accessible to motorists coming from the east and will continue to divert to southern California a large proportion of motor travel which would otherwise enter the state through other gateways. The passage of these road appropriations by both branches of the state legislature, however, does not assure the motoring public that the same will become law. The next step in the procedure, however, is that the governor should be convinced by those who have the greatest possible use for the highways, that the bills are necessary and that the state will profit greatly if these road appropriations are approved by him. It is to be presumed, in view of Governor Stephens' many utterances in favor of good roads, that he will sign these bills when they come before him. It is necessary, however, to urge that all of the motoring public, the boards of supervisors, boards, or chambers of commerce, the members of the Auto-Motor Company, be required to take care of mands. Dr. Baer states that it made that moment of old electric light extensions, movements through was about as follows: 000,000; gas electric light $125,000,000. "The com years not owing terments la accumulation If to this s 000 required residential b total of a seems neces This well is the one that shot over the Standard derrick on Christmas morning. Water broke into the well, and the Standard has been ever since Christmas securing a shut-off. With the shut-off, the well is now flowing steadily at 2400 barrels a day, the biggest well in the field. A number of the wells so far brought in in the field have had a reduction in output within a week or two after the well is brought in. This well is 2750 feet deep. The oil is 22-gravity oil. The ill fate that seemed to surround Texcal's early operations in the Huntington Beach field has shifted. The first well, drilled on a fifty-foot lot in the offset war in which the Standard, Amalgamated and West Whittier engaged, had to be abandoned. The Texcal drillers then moved to a two-acre lease and went to work. The well was cemented off at 2888 feet. Sunday night at 10 o'clock the drillers went through the cement and four feet into oil sand. The gusher was brought in. Monday the well was flowing through a ten-inch casing at the rate of 2000 barrels a day. While no test of the oil had been made up to noon, it appeared to be 19-gravity oil, such as other wells in that vicinity have shown. This oil is worth $1.63 a barrel. This well is on two acres owned by Hugh Grant, of El Monte. About six years ago Grant retired from the employ of the Southern Pacific, for which company he had worked for years as an engineer. He and his wife bought the two-acre piece at Huntington Beach, and lived upon it for about two years. Scarcity of engineers during the war resulted in Grant being called again into the service of the S. P., where he remained until he was crippled in an accident. Grant is getting one-sixth of the oil produced. This well is very likely to decrease in flow to 1000 barrels a day. If it should prove to be a steady producer at 1000 barrels the company will have an income of $1630 a day from it, of which Grant will get $270 a day. The Western Union well, brought in two weeks ago on a community lease of forty-five acres, first as a 2400-barrel well, is now producing quite steadily at 1000 barrels a day. A few days ago production dropped to 700 barrels, but it came back to 1000 the next day. J. J. Conrad, editor of the Huntington Beach News, who owns ten acres of the forty-five, will get his first dividend check about May 20. Dividend Last Saturday four automobiles fill with the fourteen pig members from Capistrano district drove to Diamond Bar hog ranch near Pomona and visited one of the most modern and fully equipped hog ranches on the Pacific coast. The party, accompanied by Assistant Farm Advisor Waters, arrived at the ranch about ten in the morning and were taken over the grounds and through every department by Manager R. K. Walker. He explained the Diamond Bar system of feeding, culling, fitting for show, and general management. The farrowing pens are one continuous shed a little over one-fourth mile long. On this ranch they have worked out their own ideas on feed troughs, system of dipping and have a miniature locomotive pulling a patent feed car. The entire herd of some 1200 head can be fed in just forty minutes, which shows a very efficient system is in operation. The Capistrano boys and girls are organized as a Farm Bureau agricultural club. Each is feeding out a purbred Duroc-Jersey barrow. Mr. Walker explained the points a feed and who have the greatest possible use for the highways, that the bills are necessary and that the state will profit greatly if these road appropriations are approved by him. It is to be presumed, in view of Governor Stephens' many utterances in favor of good roads, that he will sign these bills when they come before him. It is necessary, however, to urge that all of the motoring public, the boards of supervisors, boards, or chambers of commerce, the members of the Automobile Club of Southern California, the members of other organizations, as well as the many municipalities, throughout the state, join in urging the governor to approve of the passage of these bills by signing the same, thereby making the appropriations available for the sorely needed improvement of the above mentioned highways. It is important that all of the organizations above mentioned, as well as any other persons having the future development of the state of California at heart, immediately write or wire Governor Wm. D. Stephens, urging him to sign the bills and thereby secure for southern California better and more adequate gateways to the east and south.

Dividend checks will also go to Carl Hankey, formerly of Santa Ana, who owns five acres; M. M. Schenk, of Anaheim, five acres; R. L. Obarr and D. W. Houston, both of Huntington Beach, who have an interest in another five-acre tract, and Frank Freeman, of Santa Ana, who has an interest in a five-acre tract. The checks to Conrad, Obarr and Houston will be the first dividend checks to go into Huntington Beach as the result of oil development there. TWO SO. CALIFORNIA ROADS APPROVED BY LEGISLATURE Under the provisions of an act (assembly bill 492) introduced by Assemblyman W. F. Beal, of Imperial county, the legislature appropriated the sum of $350,000 in addition to sums provided for in the third state bond issue for the completion of the highway from San Bernardino to Yuma. This highway will, when completed, constitute a connecting link between all southern California points and eastern and southern points by way of the Bankhead national highway. The highway from Mecca to Blythe is also a vital connecting link on another transcontinental highway. This highway was insufficiently provided for in the third state bond issue and relief is to be had by virtue of a bill (assembly bill 948) introduced by Assemblyman Chester. On this ranch they have worked out their own ideas on feed troughs, system of dipping and have a miniature locomotive pulling a patent feed car. The entire herd of some 1200 head can be fed in just forty minutes, which shows a very efficient system is in operation. The Capistrano boys and girls are organized as a Farm Bureau agricultural club. Each is feeding out a purbred Duroc-Jersey barrow. Mr. Walker explained the points a feed and butter look for in market hogs and then outlined and gave a general discussion of what the pure-bred breeders are working for as type quality and general conformation. The club was taken on the excursion by the agricultural club committee of Capistrano Farm Center, Aaron Buchhelm, W. J. Callis, Frank Foster and Dave Ross. The boys and girls returned home determined to feed more carefully and take better cars of their pigs. The committee is planning on having a big barbecue about July 2nd, for the club members when they close their contest. Attorney Thomas McFadden was in Fullerton Monday morning in conference with F. C. Krause, of the county C. of C. advisory committee having in charge county affairs. Mr. McFadden expressed himself as well pleased with progress made in the action to secure a better system of costs and accounting at the office of the county engineer and stated that the recent conference was by no means meant that the probe of county affairs would cease. Samuel C. Hartranft is the representative of this supervisorial district in the probe now going on of the county roads affairs. This committee will proceed with its activities as originally planned.

G with a load o UTILITIES PROGRAM FOR FUTURE YEARS Large Sum Required to Keep Pace With Population Increase That a minimum of $700,000,000 in new money, invoked in public utilities, will be the requirements of California for each increase of 1,000,000 inhabitants in the state, was the statement made by John Willis Baer, president of the Union Banks of Pasadena, upon receipt of information from Senate Calder's committee on reconstruction and production in Washington. After a searching inquiry into the various conditions bearing upon the national housing situation and the country's industrial production, the committee finds that the business of public utilities has outgrown their present plant facilities owing to the inability of the companies to finance improvements and additions necessary to take care of increased service demands. Dr. Baer said: "The committee states that 'prior to the war it is estimated that the normal annual requirements of electric railway, gas and electric light and power companies for extensions, betterments and improvements throughout the United States was about $500,000,000, proportioned as follows: Electric railways, $250,000,000; gas companies, $125,000,000; electric light and power companies, $125,000,000." "The committee finds that for four years not over 40 per cent of such betterments has been made, leaving an accumulation of about $1,200,000,000. If to this sum is added the $700,000,000 required alone for service to new residential buildings held in abeyance, a total of approximately $2,000,000,000 seems necessary for the public utility and 11,500 boxes of lemons eighteen days after sailing from Los Angeles harbor. The average railroad time for the trip, be asserts, is sixteen days. A saving of $5000 was realized on the shipment, officials of the exchange report. Growers of perishable food products from Florida watched the shipment aboard the Cramp, it is reported, being present to investigate the shipment when the boat docked. They assert that a boat line from Jacksonville to the northern ports will be inaugurated if the rail rates are not reduced. Fruit shipments to European markets are now being made on a direct sea route, it is asserted. Formerly oranges and lemons went to New York by rail and were shipped overseas from that port. POSTPONE HEARING About 200 ranchers and orchardists appeared before the board of supervisors Tuesday during the hearing of a few protests against the establishment of drainage district No. 2, in the northwest corner of the county. Tuesday was the date set by the supervisors as the time for the adoption of a resolution of intention to establish the district, plans for which call for an expenditure of approximately $220,742 for a drainage system. The proposed drainage district is centered at Cypress. The work as proposed by the supervisors consists of excavations for an outlet canal; depositing of the earth removed on the west side of the canal and the grading of the same for a roadway; the furnishing and laying of two pipe lines 30 inches in diameter, side by side and 8 inches apart. Plans and specifications for the work filed with the board of supervisors April 5. J. J. Borree, adjutant general of the state of California, sending notice to ex-service men reminding them of legal tax exemption on personal property as well as real estate. Property owners are entitled to exemption on the city as well as county taxes, and applications may be made at this time to either the city or county assessors. The message contained in Adjutant General Borree's letter states that property to the amount of 1,000 of every resident of this state who has served in the army and navy, marine corps and revenue marine service of the United States in time of war and received an honorable discharge therefrom shall be exempted from taxation, provided that this exemption shall not apply to any person named therein owning property to the value of $5000 or more, or where the wife of such soldier or sailor owns property to the value of $5000 or more. No exemption shall be made under the provision of this act of the property of a person who is not a legal resident of the state. Affidavits will be furnished by the city and county officers to the ex-service men seeking exemption. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tausch were visiting friends in Long Beach Sunday. WATER SHIPMENTS A DECIDED SUCCESS Citrus Fruit Arrived in the East in Perfect Shape That the last shipment of citrus fruits via the Panama canal aboard the Charles H. Cramp arrived in New York in perfect condition, was the message received from D. D. Black, resident manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange in the east. MORE SHIPMENTS BY WATER One hundred thousand boxes of oranges and lemons will be shipped by water to New York and other ports from San Pedro within the next fifty days, providing the maritime strike does not interfere with the schedule, according to S. J. Arundel, ocean transportation manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. During the past forty days a total of 76,619 boxes of citrus fruits were sent out by boat, Mr. Arundel's records show. This is an appropriate total of 192 carloads during that period. It was part of the cargoes of eleven vessels out of San Pedro. Among the large shipments due to leave in the near future are the West Isleta, of the North American and Western line, which will pull anchor Thursday, for New York and have in her hold twenty-one cars of lemons and twelve cars of oranges. Another huge shipment is that which will be made on the Moerdyke of the Holland-American line calling May 13 men seeking exemption. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tausch were visiting friends in Long Beach Sunday. WATER SHIPMENTS A DECIDED SUCCESS Citrus Fruit Arrived in the East in Perfect Shape That the last shipment of citrus fruits via the Panama canal aboard the Charles H. Cramp arrived in New York in perfect condition, was the message received from D. D. Black, resident manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange in the eastern metropolis. The boxes were loaded on the Cramp in a new manner, being placed on end with a one-inch cleat separating each row, stated S. J. Arundel, manager of water shipping of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. Huge section fans were employed to force air through the shipment. This kept the fruit at the right temperature and caused it to retain freshness, he said. Shipments of citrus fruits are not being affected by the water strike, Arundel declared. Four ships are scheduled to clear Los Angeles harbor this week, loaded with oranges and lemons. The West Isleta of the North Atlantic and Western line, carrying thirty-four cars of fruit, will leave May 12 for New York. With 8500 boxes of oranges and lemons aboard, the Holland-American liner Moerdyke sails May 13 for London and Rotterdam. A similar cargo on the Wilhillo of the Williams line, to Savannah, will clear the harbor on the 14th. A heavy load will follow on the 15th for the New York market in the hold of the Henry S. Groves, Atlantic Gulf liner. Much of the tonnage formerly carried by the railroads is insured for ocean shipping in the future, according to Arundel. He declared that the Charles H. Cramp tied up in New York with a load of 2000 boxes of oranges. Anaheim Union Water Co. Run No. 1 Will start May 16, 1921 100 INCHES PER HOUR PER SHARE No water in excess of credit will be delivered, and no more water than the stock limit will be delivered on this run.
