NOTES ABOUT THE OIL FIELDS Items of Interest Gleaned From Southern California's Producing Fields and Progress Made. Drilling operations have been going nicely during the past week. The Petroleum Midway's Buena Park well, Bennett No. 1, is at 2450, the formation a hard, sandy shale. Indications are a little favorable. Rig building has been resumed on the California-Oregon Development company’s parmelee property and the rig will be up before the end of the week. The Standard Oil company's Chaffee No. 1, at Garden Grove, is making hole at 2770. The formation is a little hard, but good progress is being made. The deep well of the trio is the Westminster’s No. 1. Now drilling at 3445, the formation is a mixture of shale and shell. Drilling is going as rapidly as careful work will allow. Close observance of the formation is a feature of this well. Unable to loosen the pipe and carry it further the Ridge Oil company set a string of 8-inch at 3495. The 6-inch is going ahead and the drilling resumed. Production is now expected at 4000 feet. The Placentia Oil company is drilling out the cement at 2875 feet and will have made a conclusive water test before the end of the week. The casing test was o. k. and no difficulty is anticipated on the cementing work. Some very favorable showings were reported at the time the casing was set. Recent tests of the water conditions in the Placentia-Pacific Oil company’s operations will assume big proportions. The Miller Syndicate well is located on the same general formation as the Miley well, and at last reports was down over 3200 feet, cemented off after having had excellent showing of both oil and gas. It is expected that this well will be ready to drill in a very short time. Miller Syndicate well No. 2 is almost ready to spud in. The management of the syndicate is optimistic over the progress made, and feel, in view of recent developments, that the section of the field in which they are located is due for a big play. The east side of the Huntington Beach field got its biggest and best boost with the advent of E. J. Miley's big well No. 1. Drilled to 2670 feet, the well came in with an initial production ranging from 2000 to 2500 barrels. Like the Eddistone's No. 1 on the Ashton, the Miley well was a surprise. It was not known that there was anything there until the cement was drilled out and the big well came in. The big well has been cut down to a quarter inch opening. It is believed that as soon as the sand is cleared and put in production condition it will duplicate the Republic's 1000 barrel well. E. J. Miley has been one of the consistent developers of the Huntington Beach field since it opened and is entitled to the reward of a good well. This new well, besides enhancing the values and outlook for the Miley holdings, presents a big chance on the back to the same bed. The Montenegro mining limited appraisal child welfare work, gether inadequate, they are made at all there is taken into fact that the country organized, and the language and nationality fractional differences. Many villages-in-Montenegro out a single doctor with as many as 50,000 only one doctor. The nurses in the whole except of those with Red Cross.

The Placentia Oil company is drilling out the cement at 2875 feet and will have made a conclusive water test before the end of the week. The casing test was o. k. and no difficulty is anticipated on the cementing work. Some very favorable showings were reported at the time the casing was set. Recent tests of the water conditions in the Placentia-Pacific Oil company's No. 1 may result in a reecomenting job. Test for water in the 8-inch shows some water and inorder to insure a perfect job it will be necessary to do some more work. The delay in the water situation is a little exasperating, as the indications seem to point to a producer. At 4680 feet the Fullerton Oil company struck the oil sand at Anaheim Union No. 1. This is 400 feet deeper than the adjoining well, the Standard Oil company's Kraemer 2-12, a big producer, at 4265. The Fullerton management were getting a little uneasy and beginning to wonder if there was a possibility of the well being off the structure. The sand at 4680 is not carrying much oil, however. The Dependable Oil Trust has entered into negotiations for rotary contract drilling. A deal is expected to be closed in a few days and actual drilling will commence. Success of the Richfield-Yorba, the Consolidated and Petroleum Midway makes the Dependable's property look like one of the best in the Richfield district. The Comanche Oil company has taken over the holdings of the Richfield Union Petroleum company at Placentia and will operate the holdings on a percentage basis of the production. The Comanche company assumes the work at 3200 feet, will try to shut off the water and make a producer out of the well. Following the clearing away of the water in the Chino-Corona well No. 1, the pump were started and the well, according to officials of the company, is producing about 250 barrels of 16 per cent gravity oil. The well was brought in several weeks ago at a depth of 3104 feet, but it was not until Wednesday night that the well was in condition to start the pumps. The well is a few miles west of Corona and practically every resident of that city is said to hold stock in the company. E. J. Miley has been one of the consistent developers of the Huntington Beach field since it opened and is entitled to the reward of a good well. This new well, besides enhancing the values and outlook for the Miley holdings, proves up a big area on the east side. It makes the Fidelity, Huntington, Coalinga, Edca, Malis and even the Blue Shale and Sun No. 1, look good. Also the Vista Del Mar and Bolsa Chica No. 2 should be encouraged. The Miley well is the biggest boost the Huntington Beach field has had for months and relieves a lot of anxiety. To prevent either a water sand or an oil sand from being passed up, the Amalgamated Oil company is doing daylight prospecting. This consists of drilling 50 feet of new hole, 8-inch size, during the day tour. The night men ream the hole out to 10-inch and carry the pipe. The additional expense per well is about $10,000. But the expense of the extra precaution will, it is believed, be warranted in getting better producers right at the time the well is completed. As far as it is known the Amalgamated is the only company doing this extra work. The Amalgamated Huntington No. 3, drilled to 2725 feet, came in a 375-barrel well. It is of interest that the Amalgamated is producing at the same depth that the Standard Oil company shut off water at A-10. Fowler No. 1 has dropped from 350 barrels to 175, but has increased its gravity from 27 to 28.1. Huntington 1-A is flowing by heads at the rate of 500 barrels. Huntington 2-A is drilling at 2600 and No. 1 Pearce is setting bollers and rigging up. The Argonaut Oil company spudded in at Turley No. 2 and is now drilling. No. 1 has settled to a 150barrel producer and continues to give some trouble standing up. The Orange County Drilling company spudded in on the Bolsa Chica Petroleum Corporation's No. 1 last week and drilling is going right ahead. RED CROSS ACTIVITIES Ninety Red Cross medical units in the proposed chain of child welfare units in the most needy areas in Europe drying food for medical physicians are for means of transporting children that they are on receive assistance. Four child welfare units in Montenegro in Kolasin, a little town entirely district whitening of 50,000. The unit for the month typical of the work called Red Cross units.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE The allele made peace with Germany which the United States this country could not on condition that their surrender its sovereignty of nations.Now has done the best it circumstances—has peace without acquaintance covenants. It is to be regretted representatives of thie would not consent to free from interpolation treaty obnoxious in thie people of the United senate of thie United states for not only act peace.The attainment the pump were started and the well, according to officials of the company, is producing about 250 barrels of 16 per cent gravity oil. The well was brought in several weeks ago at a depth of 3104 feet, but it was not until Wednesday night that the well was in condition to start the pumps. The well is a few miles west of Corona and practically every resident of that city is said to hold stock in the company. At the meeting of dissatisfied stockholders of the Huntington Central Oil company, held last week at Symphony hall, four names were selected by those present upon whom it was decided to concentrate the efforts of the small stockholders in an effort to elect them to the board of directors at the meeting which is to be held in Los Angeles August 11. The meeting was largely attended, but the endless discussion which prevailed upon every subject brought before the meeting caused many of those in attendance to leave the hall before the real business of the meeting was presented. The chief charges presented against the present board of directors was to the effect that incompetent men were placed in charge of the well at Huntington Beach after it had been brought in, and that the failure of the well was due principally to that action. The reported bringing in of the Miley well at Huntington Beach has started another boom in this field. While the successful bringing in of the well was not unexpected, there has been some doubt in various quarters as to its productive possibilities. Indications are, however, that it is good for about 2000 barrels a day of high gravity oil, and should this production be maintained it is a certainty that within the next few weeks new developments will occur. Ninety Red Cross medical units in the proposed chain of child welfare units in the most needy areas in Europe are already in operation according to information given out at Pacific division headquarters in San Francisco. The American Red Cross is concentrating its resources and energies overseas upon the rescue of children from the menace of disease and death which is their heritage from the war. Ten million dollars has been made available for this imperative relief work. In the welfare unit the average personnel consists of one doctor, two nurses and a field worker. The countries into which the work will be carried on over a period of over a year at least are Poland, the Baltic states, Austria, Hungary and the Balkans. Several million European children are still in urgent need of care. Poland alone has 800,000 war orphans and as many again who need clothing and medical attention. Austria-Hungary adds a million more to the list, while the little country of Montenegro has 20,000. Children starved consistently for several years are shrunken in stature, mal-formed and harborers of tuberculosis and all sorts of skin diseases. A distressingly large percentage of Polish children is tubercular. In the Balkans where personal hygiene has been so seldom practiced and public hygiene so little understood It is to be regretted representatives of the people of the United States for not only act peacefully. The attainment delayed because a previous repudiated at the set forth by himself the allies as the real nation, notwithstanding notice signed by 39itors that they would try a peace treaty with nant in it.

American people am there is the menace of tuberculosis, malaria, hook-worm, and many other preventable disbases. General public health cannot be lost sight of for it is useless to cur the child and send it back to the same bed of infection. The Montenegro government is making limited appropriations for the child welfare work, which are altogether inadequate, but the fact that they are made at all is significant when there is taken into consideration the fact that the country is just getting organized, and the differences in language and nationality as well as the factional differences. Many villages in Montenegro are with out a single doctor and some districts with as many as 50,000 residents have only one doctor. There are no trained nurses in the whole country with the exception of those with the American Red Cross. Every village needs a health center where children can be examined; where the people can be taught general hygiene; where they can receive medical aid and special nourishment; a baby clinic for instruction in infant care and feeding and where mothers are given pre-natal and post-natal treatment. The American Red Cross is confining its efforts to such districts as have none or but one doctor, in order not to compete with the native doctors but to assist them with both material and professional aid. But there is such a crying need for medical work and the local physicians are so handicapped for means of transportation and medicines that they are only too glad to receive assistance. Four child welfare units are now at work in Montenegro. The unit located in Kolasin, a little town of 1800 serves the entire district which has a population of 50,000. The report from this unit for the month of May, 1921, is typical of the work carried on by these Red Cross units. Children in seven to help negotiate a peace which would be an abandonment of those policies under which this nation has attained a high position among the nations of the earth. He proposed to make this nation subject to the orders of a league in which another nation would have a dominant voice. Naturally, still possessing the spirit of their forefathers, the American people refused to acquiesce. They defeated the proponents of the league by the greatest plurality ever recorded in an America selection. From this review o'fevents only one conclusion is possible—that the delay in arriving at technical peace with Germany was due to the stubbornness of Mr. Wilson in his effort to compel the United States to surrender, and also to the lao kof judgment of the allied representatives in putting the league covvenant in the treaty after the very clear demonstration that such action would be fatal to the treaty so far as this country is concerned. Neither the American people nor the Republican party can be charged with the slightest responsibility for the delay in completing the peace arrangements. CHANGES IN BLUE SKY LAW Commissioner of Corporations E. C. Bellows in a statement issued today draws attention to the changes made in the corporate securities act—otherwise known as the blue sky law—by the recent legislature, and which went into effect Friday, July 29. The statement is issued especially for the benefit of the non-profit co-operative companies, which propose to sell or issue membership certificates or other securities. Embodied in the statement also is information for the benefit of those proposing to offer pre-organization subscriptions. The commissioner's notice of sale will be cash, or one-half cash and the balance to be evidenced by promissory note of purchaser, said promissory note to be secured by first mortgage on the property so sold, said note and mortgage to bear interest at the rate of seven (7) per cent per annum, due not more than two years after date; ten per cent of the amount so bid to accompany each bid, balance of said purchase price upon delivery of deed and upon confirmation of said sale by said Superior Court. The undersigned will receive bids upon the real property hereinbefore described at the office of Haas & Dunnigan, 718 Citizens' National Bank Building Los Angeles, California at RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PEACE DELAY The allies made a separate peace with Germany on conditions which the United States notified them this country could not accept—that is, on condition that the United States surrender its sovereignty to the league of nations. Now the United States has done the best it could under the circumstances—has joined in the peace, without acquiescing in the league covenants. It is to be regretted that the peace representatives of the allied nations would not consent to a peace treaty free from interpolation that made the treaty obnoxious in this country. The people of the United States, and the senate of the United States, were anxious for not only actual but technical peace. The attainment of this was wise known as the blue sky law—by the recent legislature, and which went into effect Friday, July 29. The statement is issued especially for the benefit of the non-profit co-operative companies, which propose to sell or issue membership certificates or other securities. Embodied in the statement also is information for the benefit of those proposing to offer pre-organization subscriptions. The commissioner's announcement is in part as follows: Under chapter 658, statutes of 1921, it becomes necessary for non-profit cooperative companies to apply to and receive from the commissioner of corporations permission to sell and issue membership certificates or other securities. Heretofore these companies have been exempt from the provisions of the act. Another, and important change, allows domestic corporations to take pre-incorporation subscriptions. In the law, before being amended, no time was fixed for a company to incorporate after the subscriptions were taken. In some conspicuous instances, which have occurred in the past two years, promoters of fradulent schemes have taken advantage of this provision to take pre-incorporation subscriptions without ever incorporating the company. The change made by chapter 658 provides that all subscriptions shall be deemed to have been taken upon the condition that the company shall be incorporated within ninety days thereafter so that if the promoters do not take steps to incorporate within ninety days, the subscriber may bring suit to recover his money. An important change also included, is the addition of a proviso exemplifying from the definition of "sale" an execution or delivery of a certificate or certificates evidencing a like aggregate par value of shares previously issued. The purpose of this change is to enable companies to exchange new certificates for old certificates where the change involves only a variation of the par value of the stock, the nature of the preferences, the change of the company's name, or the like. The amendment provides that the company is not required to make application and pay a fee to make such change. IN LOW SPIRIT "You have a woman mayor here?" "Yes," she just been elected and bear interest at the rate of seven (7) per cent per annum, due not more than two years after date; ten per cent of the amount so bid to accompany each bid, balance of said purchase price upon delivery of deed and upon confirmation of said sale by said Superior Court. The undersigned will receive bids upon the real property hereinbefore described at the office of Haas & Dunnigan, 718 Citizens' National Bank Building, Los Angeles, California, at any time after the publication of this notice and before the making of said sale.

Notice is hereby given that in pursuance of the resolution and order of the board of directors of Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, organized and existing under the laws of the Statute of California, unanimously adopted at a regular meeting of said board duly held on the 1st day of July, 1921, at the principal place of business of said corporation, towit: At No. 150 East Santa Ana Street, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, a meeting of the stockholders of said corporation is hereby called for and will be held at the principal place of business of said corporation, to wit: At No. 150 East Santa Ana Street, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, on Friday, th. 16th day of September, 1921, at 2 o'clock P.M., for the purpose of considering and acting upon the proposition to increase the capital stock of said corporation from $50,000.00 divided into 50,000 shares of the par value of $1.00 each, to $200,000.00, divided into 200,000 shares of the par value of $1.00 each.

SCHUREMAN, Secretary of Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association. 7-7-Sept 15 It is to be regretted that the peace representatives of the allied nations would not consent to a peace treaty free from interpolations that made the treaty obnoxious in this country. The people of the United States, and the senate of the United States, were anxious for not only actual but technical peace. The attainment of this was delayed because a president who had been repudiated at the polls on terms set forth by himself was accepted by the allies as the real spokesman of the nation, notwithstanding the formal notice signed by 39 Republican senators that they would not vote to ratify a peace treaty with the league covenant in it. A party defeat in the congressional elections is not necessarily a defeat for the executive. On the face of it, such a defeat would be a rebuke to the congress and not to the executive. But in 1918, on the eve of election, Mr. Wilson issued a public address which was published in every voting precinct in the country. In that address he asked for the election of a Democratic congress as a vote of confidence in himself and his foreign policies. He asserted that the election of a Republican congress would be construed abroad as a repudiation of himself as spokesman for the nation, and promised to accept the result "without cavil." On that issue, drawn b y himself, he was defeated, but he did not accept the result without cavil. He did not select members of the victorious party to speak for the United States at the peace conference. He did not even take the advice of the victorious senatorial candidates. He denied the American people and went to Europe IN LOW SPIRIT "You have a woman mayor here?" "Yes. She's just been elected and her husband is about the uneasiest man in town." 'Why so?' "He's told several of his friends confidentially that if his wife still has the same opinion of him she had before the election he's slated for the job of dog catcher."—Hirmingham Age, Heald.
