UNDERGROUND ROAD LEADS FROM MEXICO Running Forbidden Immigrants Across the Border Easy Fortunes are being made, according to reports, by men who are engaged in the business of getting immigrants across the border into the United States. It is said that few of the arrivals from Europe are detained at the border if their journey is directed by one of the skillful agents engaged in this new man smuggling. Those who are caught by immigration agents are waifs who "go on their own hook" because they are financially unable to hire an agent to guide and advise them. These, on landing at a gulf port, start at once for the border. Some have shrewd advice and manage to get across, but once across they usually attract attention. Those who are helped by the professional aiders of border-jumpers are guided after they enter the United States until they reach a place in which they are more or less secure. They leave trains at points some distance from the border and complete their journey by motor car. The border is crossed in various ways, the methods depending upon the number of men in a party. Not long ago, when delegates to a convention made a sightseeing trip to a Mexican town on the border, an agent guiding a party of border-jumpers was in some way able to get badges similar to those worn by the delegates. These he distributed among the members of his party. They were able to cross without interference and board a train for the interior of the United States. Usually, however, the agents do not put their parties aboard trains at important border cities, where close watch is kept. They have made an intelligent study of the risk they face and have ways of routing their concern to get a foothold in Richfield, started actual drilling last Saturday. The Wentz syndicate took over the holdings of the Richfield United Oil company and will develop the property with all possible speed. The Union Oil company's latest addition to Richfield production is a 175 barrel well at Towell No. 4. A FINE SCHEME FOR PROMOTING PANIC The argument was seriously made by a deputation of British business men headed by Mr. Arthur Balfour, that Europe, especially Great Britain, cannot pay back what is owing the United States government and to bankers in this country, unless Europe is permitted to use the American market as an outlet for her cheap labor, cheap material products. In other words we cannot hope to collect the debts owing us, unless we close our own industries, swell the army of the unemployed, and paralyze the producers of the United States, in order to enable British and French merchants and financiers to sell Germany's industrial output here rather than in their own countries, and at the same time dispose of their own surplus production in the United States. A producer and distributor of milk in one locality is appealed to by a fellow dealer in distress in another locality to come to his financial assistance in an emergency. The aid is given, with the result that the second milk man is saved from ruin. With part of the capital thus enlisted the second milkman has driven out of business a competitor from a third town who had been invading the second milk dealer's market, and in the settlement the third milkman has become indebted to the second. And so the second milk dealer says to the first: "If you expect me to pay you what I owe you, you will have to let me come into your market and under..."

REVERE A new proceure, wherein reversed by bar, was crea Salazar, who successfully B Cox. jumpers was in some way able to get badges similar to those worn by the delegates. These he distributed among the members of his party. They were able to cross without interference and board a train for the interior of the United States. Usually, however, the agents do not put their parties aboard trains at important border cities, where close watch is kept. They have made an intelligent study of the risk they face and have ways of routing their charges which reduce to a minimum the danger of detection. The men who are able and willing to pay for the service of these agents, it is said, have friends in the United States who have places waiting for them in stores and shops. Most of them are from Russia and Poland. Their instructions include ways of avoiding trouble after they reach their havens in the United States. As an example, if they go to work in places in Chicago they tell of having worked for several years in Philadelphia and are able to name places at which men of their kind are employed. If they go to Philadelphia they tell of having worked in Chicago. All are warned to be careful not to talk about "the old country" except in the privacy of the homes of those who shelter them. The training, it is said, actually begins before the newcomers take ships from Europe and does not end until they are delivered into the hands of their friends. The system as outlined here by a man who asserts that he is in possession of complete information, indicates that some persons of unusual intelligence have worked out the plan and that it is being carried out by very intelligent organization. OIL FIELD NOTES After spending a month or more fishing, the Amalgamated Oil company is moving the rig at Page No. 1 and will start a new hole. Close to 2800 feet of hole was lost. Breen 2-A continues drilling in the conglomerate at 2256. Bayha No. 1 is held up with a fishing job at 2000 feet. Thompson No. 1 has been cemented at 2881, 10-inch. Repeated tests for production on the Fullerton Oil company's Anaheim Union No. 1 has not yet yielded any results. Tests made at 4400, 4500 and 3500 failed to show any oil. Drilled to 4686 and near some of the big Standard producers the Anaheim Union well en, with the result that the second milk man is saved from ruin. With part of the capital thus enlisted the second milkman has driven out of business a competitor from a third town who had been invading the second milk dealer's market, and in the settlement the third milkman has become indebted to the second. And so the second milk dealer says to the first: "If you expect me to pay you what I owe you, you will have to let me come into your market and under-sell you, and you will have to curtail your sales and perhaps go out of business, so that I may get the money to pay you. Also milkman No. 3 will have to be permitted to throw his surplus milk on the market, because if he cannot pay me what I have exacted from him in settling our difficulties, then I cannot pay you." This is an exact parallel for the tariff program seriously proposed not only by alien business interests, and seriously supported by certain interests in this country and which have extensive investments abroad or stand to profit through importations. A better scheme for laying prostrate the industries of the United States and bringing a full fledged commercial and financial panic upon the American people could not be devised. EXPECT GOOD RESULTS California's two representatives at the unemployment conference, President Henry M. Robinson, of the First National bank of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Trust & Savings bank, and Mortimer Fleishhacker, president of the Anglo-California Trust company, of San Francisco, left Washington with the distinct belief that the labors of the conference had not been in vain. They predict three outstanding results, viz: Emergency relief through providing employment during the coming winter. Permanent relief that will tend to keep flat the curve of unemployment in the future. Relief for everyone, employed and unemployed, through a general and gradual lowering of the cost of living. Neither Mr. Robinson nor Mr. Fleishhacker have any illusions about their work at the conference. They realize that all of their recommendations and planning will be for naught unless their suggestions are carried out by the administration and by con- A new procedure, wherein reversed by a bar, was created Salazar, who successfully B.

Breen 2-A continues drilling in the conglomerate at 2255. Bayha No. 1 is held up with a fishing job at 2000 feet. Thompson No. 1 has been cemented at 2881, 10-inch. Repeated tests for production on the Fullerton Oil company's Anaheim Union No. 1 has not yet yielded any results. Tests made at 4400, 4500 and 3600 failed to show any oil. Drilled to 4686 and near some of the big Standard producers the Anaheim Union well proved to be a mystery, and shows that a well may be drilled near production in the California field and yet be off the pay streak. The Placentia-Pacific Oil company made a long stride toward getting an oil well at Richfield when it succeeded in shutting off the water at 3800 feet. It took three tries to make the job good. The General Petroleum corporation is doing work on ten wells at Richfield. Drilling on Carpenter No. 2 (United) is at 1800 in the conglomerate. On the Bradford property the Petroleum Development company has suspended operations temporarily at 2010. The Richfield Giant Oil company has completed the side-tracking of the 8-inch perforated and is close to bottom. 4114. With the side-tracking work completed the actual bringing in of the well will only be a matter of a few days. The Ridge Oil company's No. 1 is now drilling at 4100 feet. The big prediction is now expected at 4200 feet. On the Kraemer No. 2 lease the Standard Oil company has No. 15 at 4265 showing a lot of oil, and the 6 inch will set for production in a few days. The Wentz syndicate, the newest permanent relief that will tend to keep flat the curve of unemployment in the future. Relief for everyone, employed and unemployed, through a general and gradual lowering of the cost of living. Neither Mr. Robinson nor Mr. Fleishhacker have any illusions about their work at the conference. They realize that all of their recommendations and planning will be for naught unless their suggestions are carried out by the administration and by congress. But they assert, if the recommendations of the conference are carried out and are put into effect an outstanding benefit will result not only during the coming winter, but during the years to come and unemployment problems in the future will be easier of solution. One thing learned by ythe conference statisticians was that nation-wide unemployment was not nearly as bad as had been reported before they met in Washington. The total number of unemployed persons they found was several million less than the preliminary estimates, and was finally fixed at about 4,000,000, which in a population of 110,000,000 was not considered excessive under present industrial conditions. The two California delegates played a leading role in the deliberations. Mr. Robinson was chairman of the most important committee, that on organization, which planned the work of the entire conference and made the final report. He presided at the more important hearings and his judgment was sought by Secretary Hoover upon all important questions. In fact, by many of the delegates his was looked upon as one of the leading minds at the conference. Statistics before the conference The sentiment dent Harding in those voiced by occasion of his ship of the RR mittee some marked, "In a politics is the no zenship and he from its activ slacker."

FIG CULTURE IS A COMING INDUSTRY The future success of fig culture in California now seems to be assured, since the growers have developed a variety of heavy sugar content with supreme shipping, canning and preserving qualities, and have effected an organization that safeguards the financial interests of its members by fixing the price, advertising, and disposing of the fruit to the best advantage. In former years the California grower was forced to accept "any old price" the eastern jobber might fix in competition with figs from Asia Minor and southern Europe, shipped to New York as ballast. The successful handling of shipments of fresh figs from California to eastern markets, where people have been given, during the past summer, their first taste of the California fig, picked fresh off the tree, marks a new epoch in the horticultural history of the state, as the eastern market for fresh figs, when they can be obtained, is almost unlimited. It is therefore confidently expected that a development in production rivaling the best results obtained by other horticultural products, such as oranges, olives, prunes and raisins, that will pave the way for another of California's wealth producing industries. REVERSED THE JUDGE A new precedent in judicial procedure, wherein the court found itself reversed by the prisoner before the bar, was credited Saturday to Jose Salazar, who holds the distinction of successfully contradicting Justice J. B. Cox. he has taken nothing at all, for the law does not recognize as legal property anything that is illegally come by. That is to say, when the thief was swiping the moonshine, he was really fooling himself, for in the eyes of the law it was without value, and although he thought he was carrying something away that would be worth while to him, in reality he took nothing, for the law says the owner thereof could not have it and therefore could not lose it. That may be rather close reasoning, but there's more of it. By natural deduction, the bootlegger is not a bootlegger at all, but a confidence man, a dealer in gold bricks, selling nothing for something, and therefore entitled to be imprisoned not for the dispensing of hooch, but for the sale of that which is without value. Yet he exchanges it for coin of the realm at the rate of something like $12 a quart. These are merely corollaries growing out of a quite surprising court decision in which an amateur distiller played in unusual luck and was told to take his tools and beat it, because the officers who gathered him in neglected certain legal formalities provided by the constitution. True, the moonshiner never heard of the constitution and is in complete ignorance of the fact that it has a fourth and fifth amendment, but he knows now there is a right and a wrong way for raiders to proceed, and his respect for the law is thereby increased. It appears that the district attorney argues that if the hooch and the still be contraband, they are therefore without the pale that protects legal property, but the learned justices of the appellate court are quoted to the effect that the sacred rights of a defendant may not be trampled under foot to the extent of confronting him with evidence illegally taken away from him. Which suggests the inquiry as to what right the defendant suit of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce, he will satirize the safety with which lawbreakers make faces at the law.—San Berdoo Sun.

The Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim reserves the right to reject any and all bids or to accept or reject REVERSED THE JUDGE A new precedent in judicial procedure, wherein the court found itself reversed by the prisoner before the bar, was credited Saturday to Jose Salazar, who holds the distinction of successfully contradicting Justice J. B. Cox. Salazar, who was tried on a charge of exhibiting a deadly weapon in a threatening manner toward Mrs. Carmen Meta, of Garden Grove, when he went to her house one night to collect wages which he claimed were due him, was sentenced to thirty days in jail. The judge was all ready to wave him into the proceedings. Through the interpreter, he remarked: "I refuse to recognize the order, because I am not guilty." The startled court glared for a moment and then his eyes twinkled. "Guess we'll have to compromise then," he replied to Jose, meekly. "Sentence is suspended on your promise to leave the complaining witness alone." VOTING A PRIME DUTY We are hearing frequent appeals to the people to perform their duties as citizens. Recently a resident of the state of Virginia wrote to President Harding calling his attention to the fact that in that state in 1918 there were only 89,000 votes cast, while in 1920, with equal suffrage in force, there were 232,000 ballots put in the boxes. Manifestly there is not such a difference in voting population due to equal cuffrage. The only explanation is that either the men had not been voting before and came to the polls in larger numbers or the men continued to stay at home and the increase was made up of women's votes. The total population of Virginia within voting age shows that there is yet a large proportion not exercising the elective franchise. Commenting upon this President Harding asserted, among other things, that "there is no more important duty for the citizen than that of voting on the one day of the year when his vote means something." It is important that a man should express his opinions to his fellow citizens on any and perhaps all of the days of the year but his efforts are but said time, furnish the City of Anaheim a bond executed by two good and sufficient sureties, who shall justify in double the amount of said bond, or by a corporate surety thereunto duly authorized, and such bond shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, and shall be conditioned upon the faithful performance of said contract. The Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim reserves the right to reject any and all bids or to accept or reject any part of any bid. Dated this 17th day of September, A. D. 1921. EDWARD B.
