P. Spur Track The board of supervisors on Tuesday refused to reconsider its resolution supporting the property owners of Olive, Villa Park, McPherson and Tustin in their fight against the proposal of the Union Pacific to build a spur track through their communities. The supervisors refused to rescind the resolution. A request that it be withdrawn was presented by F. E. Petit, of Los Angeles, attorney for the U. P. The supervisors said that they had no objection to the coming of the main line through the country, and would be willing to pass a resolution endorsing that move, but they had been unable to find any reason for withdrawing from their position in relation to the spur. "All the Union Pacific asks is a fair shake," said Petit. "This board represents the entire county, and your action carries the idea that the entire county is opposing the spur. The entire county is not opposing it. What opposition there is comes from some of the residents of certain sections only. All we want is for the case to be system of having highway work conducted under one head be continued rather than have it go back to the old system of road bosses scattered all over the county." "Either the present system must be continued in its general provisions or I quit as supervisor," said Supervisor N. T. Edwards, of Orange. And he seemed to express the consensus of the board of the value of the system for getting effective work done and for a proper accounting of work accomplished. West pointed out that under the law as it now stands there must be a county surveyor whose duties are to draw certain maps and plans and to certify to certain kinds of work. He is to be paid $8 a day only when employed. McBride his new position is to be paid the same salary he was paid as county engineer, $300 a month. MR. MELROSE IMPROVING The condition of Mr. Melrose was reported yesterday to be improving, and while still very ill, hopes are entertained for his recovery. His fever is subsiding, and there appears to be a general change for the better. His many friends sincerely hope that he may soon be restored to his usual good health. ANOTHER BIG PRODUCER The Union Oil Company of California has brought in a well at Santa Fe Springs, which is rated as the biggest producer of light oil on the coast. The well, which is situated on the Bell property about a mile south of Los Nietos, is said to be producing 2000 barrels of 31 gravity oil. The successful completion of this well follows two years of work and the expenditure of close to $200,000. It is stated. The Union Oil company has about 500 acres in they lignity of the "All the Union Pacific asks is a fair shake," said Petit. "This board represents the entire county, and your action carries the idea that the entire county is opposing the spur. The entire county is not opposing it. What opposition there is comes from some of the residents of certain sections only. All we want is for the case to be heard by the railroad commission on its merits. "That is, let those who are interested make their showing, and not confuse the issue by making it appear that the entire county is against the plan, when it is not." "Se far as I am concerned, not for a minute, will I consider rescinding action," said Supervisor N. T. Edwards, of Orange. "I do not know of a single resident of those communities who wants this spur track, and I am for staying by them." Supervisors S. H. Finley and T. B. Talbert said they failed to see any public necessity for the spur. Petit said that one Anaheim man, Mr. Reuther, said he would save $2500 a year on freight for fertilizer if the new line were put in. This kind of saving would be felt by residents along the spur track, too, said Petit. Prominent residents of the Tustin-Olive district whose properties are not directly touched by the proposed branch of the Union Pacific from La Habra to Tustin today were signing a paper declaring that in their opinion the branch will be of no public use or convenience to the community as a whole; that is would be a detriment rather than a benefit; that the district is now well served, and that they oppose duplication of trackage in a district that is already highly developed. The protest is being circulated by the committee of Villa Park ranchers directing the opposition to the building of the branch line. McBRIDE SUPERINTENDENT OF COUNTY ROADS The board of supervisors last week officially practically re-instated the county engineer system notwithstanding the recent decision of the supreme court, and J. L. McBride was appointed to the position of county superintendent of roads and Warren K. Hill-yard was appointed county surveyor, a position formerly held by McBride. The Union Oil Company of California has brought in a well at Santa Fe Springs, which is rated as the biggest producer of light oil on the coast. The well, which is situated on the Bell property about a mile south of Los Nietos, is said to be producing 2000 barrels of 31 gravity oil. The successful completion of this well follows two years of work and the expenditure of close to $200,000. It is stated. The Union Oil company has about 500 acres in their icinity of the new well. The Santa Fe Railroad company is said to own a large acreage adjoining the Union property, on which the new well is located, and bonuses are being offered of from $500 to $1500 per acre for property within a mile of the well. It is stated that the new well showed but little indication of oil up to the time it actually started flowing. A string of six-inch pipe was cemented in at a depth of 3781 feet. Up to this time the well had shown only a few colors. A successful water job resulted with the drilling out of the cement, and several feet deeper the oil started the flow. THE OIL OUTPUT "Black gold" production in Orange county will return producers this year approximately $28,000,000, according to estimates made on the number of barrels of oil and by-products produced. The estimate is based on data compiled by James Sleeper, county assessor, and oil men who are more or less familiar with the details of quantity and prices. Oil offers one of the biggest sources of income in the county, exceeding in cash returns any of the large crops of agricultural or citrus production. It is estimated that when the year is closed producers will have received an average of $1.35 a barrel for oil, the production being estimated at around 18,000,000 barrels. Gasoline and natural gas will swell the cash returns by $4,000,000 or $5,000,000, it is estimated. Prices for crude oil slumped a little the past year, as compared with prices prevailing in 1920, when the average was from $1.50 to $1.60. Quotations on crude oil are again advancing. Gasoline prices wholesale were advanced one cent in New York, and two cents in Nebraska a few weeks ago, with a corresponding increase being paid to producers of crude. It was on October ambitions and state of Lord Howe and other colonies borough through Albany Hudson came to the surrender of the Americans unaware Schuylerville city.

L. McBride was appointed to the position of county superintendent of roads and Warren K. Hillyard was appointed county surveyor, a position formerly held by McBride. Without additional cost to the county, the county engineer system is to be continued in two departments, McBride to be head of one department and Hillyard to be head of the other. Hillyard is to do the kind of work as county surveyor that he has been doing as deputy county engineer. The adjustment was made at a meeting of the board of supervisors, McBride, County Auditor W. C. Jerome and Attorney L. A. Vest, former district attorney. West presented a resolution with a line of procedure that he said would preserve the county engineer system in spite of the fact that the supreme court had "thrown a monkey wrench into the machinery." Under the resolution as passed, McBride holds a double-barrelled position so far as name is concerned. Officially he is now superintendent of highway maintenance and repairs for the entire county, and he is also superintendent of work for each of the road commissioners of the county. Each supervisor, except Supervisor S. H. Finley, of Santa Ana, in whose district there are no county roads, is a road commissioner, and McBride becomes his foreman. "I suppose," said West, in presenting the resolution, "that it is the desire of the board of supervisors that the prices for crude oil slumped a little the past year, as compared with prices prevailing in 1920, when the average was from $1.50 to $1.60. Quotations on crude oil are again advancing. Gasoline prices wholesale were advanced one cent in New York and two cents in Nebraska a few weeks ago, with a corresponding increase being paid to producers of crude. The advances have not reached the Pacific coast, but it is assumed they will reach the coast in time. The first reductions early in the year were effective in New York and Atlantic seaboard points. The reduction traveled across the United States by degrees and became effective in California months after being made in the east. As increases are moving westward, it is believed they will reach the coast in a few weeks. The advances on crude have already had a beneficial effect on oil operations on the coast. Many companies which curtailed their operations following the alump in prices are making preparations for resuming operations at full steam. Development of oil at Huntington Beach this year has boosted the county output materially and it is believed that the production of that field next year will be an important addition to the total. Other fields in the county are being explored, and it is possible that important discoveries will be made that will open up new territory. The number of wells on production in the county is estimated at 750 and the acreage at $8000 acres. With the exception of production in the Huntington Beach field all of this year's output is from the northern Orange county fields. $4,000,000 or $5,000,000, it is estimated.

Above the spot where this capitulation was made a lofty monument stands. In the distance are Freeman's farm and Bemis Heights, where the fighting took place. On the four sides of the monument are recesses for four statues. Three of them are filled. They hold the effigies of Gates, Schuyler and Morgan. The fourth is not occupied. It never will be. It is at once a lasting memorial to the gallantry and services of one who did much for his country and an enduring reproach to his treason. In this now vacant space would stand the statue of Benedict Arnold, who earned much and felted all; the man who could support the agony of wounds, unperturbed face death in the wilderness and in the field, but could not withstand the impulses of thwarted ambition or curb the promptings of a vengeful spirit. The field of the fighting which sealed the fate of Burgoyne's expedition is intelligently preserved and marked. Patriotic societies and individuals have erected stones with suitable inscriptions to guide visitors in following the progress of the engagements.

The field of the fighting which sealed the fate of Burgoyne's expedition is intelligently preserved and marked. Patriotic societies and individuals have erected stones with suitable inscriptions to guide visitors in following the progress of the engagements. Some of the structures which were used in the battle are still standing, with furniture as it was when the fights were in progress. Indeed, the spot where the plan to isolate New England from the other colonies was brought to failure remains practically unchanged, a shrine for all lovers of their country, a memorial to the brave men of the countryside who answered the call to arms and by their constant attacks on the invader, by Stark's success over Baum at Bennington, and finally by compelling the surrender of Burgoyne, revived the spirits of the hard pressed patriots and gave to the world understanding of the seriousness of their purpose and of their capacity in arms. Senator Calder has introduced in congress a bill for a survey of the battlefield and the compilation and preservation of records and data concerning the campaign which culminated there. This would be preliminary to the acquisition of the field by the government and its erection into a national memorial. This should have been done long ago; the nation has been derelict in conserving this historic site. It would be highly appropriate to begin the work of acquisition now and to dedicate the park on the 150th anniversary of Burgoyne's surrender, which will come in 1927.

Gregg, county aid commissioner. Gregg has received notice of the railroad company's attitude in the form of a circular letter issued by the company to its various agents. The company explains its withdrawal of rate concessions in cases of charity, where tickets are paid for with state funds, with the statement that because of the tax situation, it feels that it has done all that could be reasonably expected in this direction, when it extends its concessions to other organizations of a private character. This will exclude the public authorities, including the county aid commissioner, from handling indigents or other charity cases traveling by rail.Gregg stated. It means that all such cases must be taken care of by private charitable institutions or organizations, such as the Red Cross, and fraternal orders, according to Gregg.
