OIL FIELD NOTES The Standard Oil company's Bolsa Chica No. 1 has a close rival in Huntington A-17, brought in a few days ago. The big Bolsa Chica well flows at the rate of 1980 barrels daily. The new well, Huntington A-17, came in at 1900 barrels and is the second largest producer that has been brought in at Huntington Beach. Originally Huntington A-17 was a 125 barrel well at 2548. Deepening the well to 2848, three hundred feet of new hole increased the production of the well more than 15 times. The big showing made by this redrilled and deepened well will probably result in the Standard drilling a number of its Huntington Beach wells deeper. In addition to bringing in the biggest well in the field for almost a year, the Standard started work on four new wells and increased its drilling program to twenty-five wells. Sixty feet of new hole transformed the Edens syndicate from a few barrel stripper to a regular producer doing 150 barrels. At 2339 the Edens syndicate was not a commercial producer. Drilled to 2400 feet the well got into the production column of Huntington Beach records. A liner was fished out, 300 feet of hole cleaned out, and 60 feet of new hole made, and all this wark was accomplished in ten days. The Belle of Montebello is another well that will be changed from a non-producer to a commercial well soon. At 2520 this well has not made any production to speak of. Preparations are being made to carry the hole down to 2700 or 2800 feet. With the ice broken, a number of new wells will increase the Santa Fe Springs production soon. The Fullerton Oil company has a well drilling close to production. The Central Oil company at its tank farm well is beginning to anticipate something soon. The Standard Oil company has three wells—Brownrigg-Kellar, Helper and Wolfskill about ready to go on production. The Union Oil company has three wells in rather close to the big Bell producer down deep and not showing much of anything. Bell No. 4 is at 3975 in hard sand and not showing any oil. Flood No. 1 at 3600 is not showing any oil, and Sanchez No. 1, down over 4000 feet ran the core barrel and did not get any showing. Myers No. 4 was put on production at 4516 a 500-barrel well, produced a few hours and went to water. Richfield continues to be the old reliable field. The Amalgamated Oil company brought in a 600 barrel well on the Wm. Kaimmerer property. This well was completed at 3242 and some 400 feet of oil sand was drilled through when drilling stopped. The Merchants' Petroleum company has just completed its third producer. No. 3 drilled to 3440 feet is on the pump doing 300 barrels. The Union Oil company's famous Morse No. 3 has not declined very much from the initial production. The big well started off two weeks ago at 4600 and has fallen off only 300 barrels. Chapman No. 11 recently completed at 4320 is doing 1875 barrels. The Ridge Oil company has succeeded in drilling by all the lost casing and is making new hole now at cloes to the outlooks for a well has ment out here by the huge caravan to move country to the realtor on the coast, as well as several ties of tourists coming adjacent by motor, en mass. Touring parties of frothy cars, moving as far across the trans-continental just as the pioneers did, coming a common sight, club touring bureau. It is a revival of the day de luxe manner.

In southern California touring fever seems to thousands of car owners with the coming of April touring season is on fur spring tours! EUSTIS LIMER A new citrus variety limequat, is coming in and is being listed by les in Florida. The line produced by the United ment of agriculture in various experiments in fruits by crossing t time with the kumquat hybrids possess the histics of the kumquat, a The Belle of Montebello is another well that will be changed from a non-producer to a commercial well soon. At 2520 this well has not made any production to speak of. Preparations are being made to carry the hole on down to 2700 or 2800 feet. Machis Brothers have decided to deepen their Machis No. 1, completed several months ago at 3595 which came in a 350 barrel well, but did not hold up. No. 2 at 44010 feet is making a 1000 barrels. It is quite evident that four or five hundred feet more of hole will make No. 1 a duplicate of No. 2. The Republic Petroleum company brought in a 300 barrel well at No. 3. Completed at 3848 and showing some 400 feet of oil sand a bigger well was expected. It is the opinion of Republic Petroleum men that No. 3 will increase its productions as soon as the sand subsides and the hole is free from rotary mud. With the completion of No. 3 a 250 barrel well, the Gypsy Oil syndicate has an aggregate production of 600 barrels a day. The Gypsy Oil syndicate is one of the very few small companies that has actually paid dividends and made any money for its stockholders. Of the fifty or more stock companies that started at Huntington Beach two years ago, the Gypsy is the only company that has finished in any kind of condition. The success of the Gypsy Oil company is largely due to the personal attention the company's affairs has been given by J. H. Macklin, now recognized as one of the most successful oil operators in southern California. The United States Oil corporation has just finished its first well at Huntington Beach and put it on production at 300 barrels. This well at 3814 is one of the deepest wells in the south side of the field, and judging from the amount of sand drilled through, it should not only be long lived, but should increase its initial output. The Wellington Oil company is now listed in the production column of Huntington Beach. Welling No. 1 completed at 3342 and went on production a 460 barrel well. The Union Oil company's famous Morse No. 3 has not declined very much from the initial production. The big well started off two weeks ago at 4600 and has fallen off only 300 barrels. Chapman No. 11 recently completed at 4320 is doing 1875 barrels. The Ridge Oil company has succeeded in drilling by all the lost casing and is making new hole now at closes to 4700 feet. The outlook for a well has not changed materially for several hundred feet. The final hope now is to find something at 4800. Richfield's deepest well is now drilling by the Standard Oil company at Kellogg No. 2. Drilling is now at 5025 and the outlook for a producer is not very encouraging. Newport loomed up on the petroleum map of the south by claiming a big showing of light oil in the Long Beach Consolidated Oil company's No. 1. The cement was drilled out of the 6-inch at 3363 and drilling on a few feet further a nice showing of light oil was found. The well is being tubed and preparations are being made to test out the showing. Actual work has commenced at Fairview. The Fairview Oil company, formerly the Westminster Oil company, wrecked the rig at Westminster, moved it to Fairview and is now rebuilding on the Adams property, one of the larger holings of the company. The Fairview Oil company is backed by some of the ablest oil men* in southern California and will not be lacking in experience, money or management. WORLD IS NOT DOOMED A timorous, shrinking, narrow-visioned wight occasionally pipes up with a dreadful prophecy that the world is tobagganing to perdition—that everything is going to the bad, with wheels unlocked and descending the steep grade. But the healthy, normal average person who works industriously and usefully; who respects the laws and obeys them; who lives decently and honestly, and who has a sane, well-balanced outlook upon life, knows that the world is not speeding to horrific doom. He realizes that good old Mother Earth is not so well off now as she has been or as she should be. He knows that she is the victim of ex-pump doing 300 barrels.

This well at 3814 is one of the deepest wells in the south side of the field, and judging from the amount of sand drilled through, it should not only be long lived, but should increase its initial output. The Wellington Oil company is now listed in the production column of Huntington Beach. Welling No. 1 completed at 3342 and went on production a 450 barrel well. The Texas Holding company, after battling with water for several months has No. 2 ready to go on production. Drilled to 3680 this well looks like it will surpass the famous Texas Holding company No. 1, brought in a year ago and still flowing 300 barrels daily. There does not seem to be much of a chance for the Bixby Hills as an oil field. The Shell company has abandoned both the Chino and the Olinda. The Standard Oil company is not leaving Garden Grove without making a thorough test for oil. The Chaffee well is now the deepest well drilling in southern California at 5530, and not looking any more like an oil well than it did when first spudded in. The Standard's Mitchell No. 1 at Buena Park is making splendid progress drilling, but as yet is not showing any indications of oil. Drilling is now close to 2500 feet. With the bringing in of the Amalgamated's gusher at Dellugge No. 1, Santa Fe Springs takes on renewed activity, the operators have received the much needed encouragement. The Amalgamated well is now the second largest producer in southern California and the largest producer at Santa Fe Springs. The production has climber from 3800 to 4100 barrels. The healthy, wholesome, useful average man knows this, because he senses the fact that the moral redemption and stabilizing of Mother Earth depends, for the most part, upon him—upon the work and influence of his class, in this and in other civilized lands. And with this responsibility realized by the millions of the masses, they, in due time, will square themselves to the great work and the moral regeneration will begin in earnest. It has begun. GREATEST INFLUX OF MOTORING TOURISTS Every week this spring will be "see the country" week for motorists, say officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Unusual activity is scheduled for April, May and June in touring circles throughout the southern part of the state, it is reported with the greatest influx of motoring visitors ever recorded. Japotus is given the touring move- ment out here by the plans for a huge caravan to move across the country to the realtor convention on the coast, as well as several large parties of tourists coming across the continent by motor, en masse. Touring parties of from twenty to thirty cars, moving as a single body across the trans-continental highways, just as the pioneers did in '49, is becoming a common sight, says the auto club touring bureau. It is a revival of the days of '49 in a de luxe manner. Where at one time it took a year to cross the prairies to California by pack train and prairie schooner, motor caravans are now making the trip in twenty-one days without the hardships suffered by the early pioneers. Public camp grounds along the way, with all modern conveniences have been put at the disposal of the westward moving trains of motor cars, which helps to make the trip a delight. Despite erroneous rumors set adrift in the east that the tour to California is beset with hardships, motorists are treking to the coast in numbers greater than ever before, reports the club. In southern California counties the touring fever seems to have struck thousands of car owners at once, and with the coming of April, the spring touring season is on full force. Hall spring tours! EUSTIS LIMEQUAT A new citrus variety, known as the limequat, is coming into prominence and is being listed by several nurseries in Florida. The limequat was produced by the United States department of agriculture in the course of various experiments in hybrid citrus fruits by crossing the West India lime with the kumquat orange. The hybrids possess the hardy characteristics of the kumquat, and while not as its levees down there and overflows Imperial the loss to posterity will be irreparable because the land can never be retsored. "Nothing can be lost by taking steps to prevent floods in Imperial valley. That is a thing which demands speed. Pacts can be made any time. In my time I have carried through some monumental projects the legal phases of which are not yet settled. We spent $24,000,000 to build the aqueduct, had one lawyer on the job and suffered no lawsuits, neither did de despoil anyone." RELATIONS WITH MEXICO Formal friendly relations between the United States and Mexico soon will be restored, from all indications. President Harding says that the only hitch is one of proceedings—and a hitch like that soon should be removed. Quite interesting, in this connection, is the sentiment expressed by several score representative Latin-Americans speaking for twenty southern republics, in reply to a question by John Barrett as to what they believe the United States might do, on its own initiative, to promote Pan-American friendship. The following summarizes the sentiment of these eminent personages of the lower Americans. "Early recognition of Mexico by the United States on a basis consistent with the natural and unexaggerated dignity, sovereignty and rights of both nations, with concessions, if necessary, on the part of both, inspired by that same spirit of conciliation and co-operation which characterized the United States and other governments at the recent arms conference." To this sentiment President Harding made response "we feel no difference of opinion as to what is necessary to restore former friendly rela- EUSTIS LIMEQUAT A new citrus variety, known as the limequat, is coming into prominence and is being listed by several nurseries in Florida. The limequat was produced by the United States department of agriculture in the course of various experiments in hybrid citrus fruits by crossing the West India lime with the kumquat orange. The hybrids possess the hardy characteristics of the kumquat, and while not as resistant to citrus canker as the still harder kumquat it is satisfactory in resistance and can be recommended, especially for home gardens. The fruit is very much like the lime in quality and flavor and can be used in "ade" drinks in the same way. Moreover, the rind of the limequat, like that of the kumquat, is edible, so that the whole fruit may be utilized. The color is light yellow resembling that of grapefruit. Budding experiments on different stocks are in progress, and the present indications are that the limequat will thrive on any of the stocks commonly used except the sour orange. Like the lime, if planted low and mounded with soil the limequate bud will strike its own roots, thus simplifying the stock question. The fruit is borne at the most desirable time, during the hot summer months. Lime quat promises to become a valuable addition to the list of citrus fruits. BUILD BOULDER DAM The conference held in Phoenix failed of accomplishing all that was hoped for. Hoover presided and appealed for harmony and for fairness on the part of all. He also appealed for a disposition to give and take that the future of the southwest might not be jeopardized because of selfish desires of delegates of any of the states. The upstream folks are still insistent that they own all the water originating in their states. They ignore the fact that years before any of these southwest states were states the federal government entered into treaty with Mexico, by which the American government recognized Mexico's rights to certain waters of the river. Regardless of this, Colorado and one or two other states are renewing the old state's rights question settled in the awful bloodshed of the civil war. Of course, they can never make such claim stick in any American court. Of course, those delegates know that fo United States on a basis consistent with the natural and unexaggerated dignity, sovereignty and rights of both nations, with concessions, if necessary, on the part of both, inspired by that same spirit of conciliation and co-operation which characterized the United States and other governments at the recent arms conference." To this sentiment President Harding made response "we feel no difference of opinion as to what is necessary to restore former friendly relations between our own republic and that of Mexico; the only hitch anywhere is one of proceedings." Sincere good will and unfenged cordiality, it is to be hoped soon may be restored between the two governments and between the people of the United States and Mexico. DUST OF DREAMS Dust of dreams! Gray, drifting dust, I gather from the years; My fingers touch the hidden rust. And wake to life the dreams I hear the echo of a song. Blue eyes smile up at me; Long, long ago, when we were young, Slaves to Love's witchery. When one is old and almost blind The memories seem more keen; Tis then the shadows are so kind, Where I can sit and dream! —Clara S. McCulley. The main complaint against poverty is its poverty.

Regardless of this, Colorado and one or two other states are renewing the old state's rights question settled in the awful bloodshed of the civil war. Of course, they can never make such claim stick in any American court. Of course, those delegates know that to be the case, but at the same time it appears that they are going to continue to press the claim in order to delay and embarrass the lower basin states which are dtmanding instant action because of the menace to Imperial valley and other lands which are already partially developed. However, the conference closed with positive assurance by Mr. Hoover that "Boulder canyon dam will be built,and that soon." When Secretary of the Interior Fall was in California a few months ago he made a similar statement. So it is a reasonably safe conclusion that this dam will soon afford relief to the Imperial valley. In addition to Boulder canyon, other dams at Bull's Head, San Carlos and The Sentinel on the Gila river were urged. In order of importance the three great steps to be taken on the Colorado are: First, flood control; second, irrigation; third, generation of hydroelectric power. The first and third of these steps will be taken in the building of Boulder canyon dam. In addition, more effective irrigation will be possible. Speaking of the necessity for immediate action in flood control Wm. Mulholland, of Los Angeles, said: "Down yonder in the corner of California is a great inland empire, over which hangs the danger of a calamity more than that of the San Francisco earthquake or the Chicago fire, because if the river ever breaks through PIONEER MANUFACTURERS OF CLAY PRODUCTS "The Sign of Service" Acid-Proof Alkali-Proof Permanent Sanitary Vitrified Clay Sewer Pipe.
