OIL FIELD NOTES The bringing in of a 28 gravity well by the Standard Oil company at Thompson No. 1 puts a new meaning on the southeastern side of the Huntington Beach field. This section of the field has not been held in very high favor heretofore. Thompson No. 1, drilled to 3500 feet, came in at 100 barrels. The oil proved a big surprise in that it was 28 gravity. The fact that the oil is light assures the development of greater production in successive wells that will be drilled in this part of the field. The Golden Dome furnished the excitement of the Huntington Beach field by blowing out and partially wrecking things a few days ago. Drilling at 3,018, the tools struck a gas pocket. The baller was hurled through the crown block, and coming down struck the ground a few feet from the rig and imbedded itself some seven feet in the earth. The Golden Dome had not shown much promise, and the blow-out puts new hope into the owners. The Globe Petroleum company will drill a well at Huntington Beach. This company leased large acreage when the field first opened and sub-leased the greater part of its holdings. Tract 32 has been reserved by the Globe and on this property drilling will be started in a few days. Indications point to a big well for J. W. Jamison at Huntington Beach on the Linoleum factory lease. Drilled to 3678, some 250 feet of rich sana was drilled through and there is reason to believe that the Jamison well will be a dulplicate or even bigger than the famous Rio Bravo No. 1 that the Long Beach Consolidated struck a sand and shale that carries 21 gravity oil. The well is being prepared for production and will be on the pump in a few days. The Long Beach Consolidated has been the company in the Newport field successfully to shut off water, and this foot may account for the good showing the company's well has made and the splendid outlook for production. There is little doubt now that Redondo will be southeast California's next oil field. Three of the five wells in the field are showing oil in quantity. The situation at Garden Grove so far as an oil well is concerned remains unchanged. Chaffee No. 1 is now drilling at 5536 and the outlook for production is far from being encouraging. Santa Fe Springs is waiting again for its next producer. The field is recovered from the thrill given it by the Amalgamated big Dallugge producer and speculation is now rife on where the next gusher will open up. STOP AT NOTHING WHEN IT COMES TO TOURING Proof that auto owners in southern California will stop at nothing when it comes to touring is shown in news of the activity of the car-forwarding department of the Automobile Club of Southern California just received. Bitten by the touring bug which thrives in this section as nowhere else in America, motorists are shipping their cars this season to the four corners of the globe—and motorists from the four corners of the globe are shipping their cars here for touring purposes. Groups of motorists at the present time are shipping cars from southern California to Manila, France, England, the easiest and cheapest fraction of these there are vast, rich practically untouched McKee, professor in Columbia. It is not common large these shale deposits only those will furnish a barren better, of petroleum we have in the Green Colorado, Utah and sufficient to furnish reels of petroleum, eight times larger than petroleum that produced since Colorado the first oil well in Pa. This is also more than total production of this treelium became a co-60 years ago. And all. There are big dales California, Kentuckia, New Brunswick and others in various parts Many of them will give gallons of oil to a tour. The extraction of seems bound to become in the future, supply petroleum needs for to come, just as the lakes and North Dakota were thracite and bitumen they are exhausted. CUSTOMER OWNER DEMAND Customer ownership titles demands a new on the part of the user his relations with this past when the company manager can re-thinking to do with the idea that news gives Indications point to a big well for J. W. Jamison at Huntington Beach on the Linoleum factory lease. Drilled to 3678, some 250 feet of rich sand was drilled through and there is reason to believe that the Jamison well will be a duplicate of or even bigger than the famous Rio Bravo No. 1 that opened this section of the field a few weeks ago. The Machris Brothers are starting their third well at Huntington Beach. The Machris Brothers entered the field less than a year ago and in that time have drilled two wells and developed a 1200-barrel production. The Petrofeum company completed its Porter No. 2 at 3564 and put the new well on production at 350 barrels. Porter No. 1, completed about six months ago, continues to produce better than 300 barrels. The Texas Holding company now has two producing wells. No. 2, drilled to 3680, came in a 300-barrel well. The United States Oil corporation has closed a transaction with the Placentia-Richfield Central Oil company, taking over the tenacre Arnold property south and adjoining the Rio Bravo's big well. The United States Oil corporation has a rig up on the lease and will begin drilling at once. The Union Oil company's deep well, Hill No. 1, is showing oil at 4237 and is looking rather good. This well is located in the north side of the field, where the big production is obtained at 4000 feet and deeper. The Union redrilled Copeland No. 1 to 3600 feet and the well is flowing at the rate of 200 barrels. The outlook for the Chansler-Canfield Midway to get an oil well at Bradford No. 2, Richfield, looks better now than ever before. At 4500 feet this well is showing up strong. Bradford No. 2 is located a few hundred yards north of the Clark Wetzel, a dister, but is across the fault line. Niel Anderson has taken over the Richfield-Yorba Oil company's well on a contract to put it on production. The Richfield-Yorba company has tried to Bitten by the touring bug which thrives in this section as nowhere else in America, motorists are shipping their cars this season to the four corners of the globe—and motorists from the four corners of the globe are shipping their cars here for touring purposes. Groups of motorists at the present time are shipping cars from southern California to Manila, France, England and Honolulu. Other shipments from the auto club are being made to Mexico, Rotterdam and Japan. This club service, which is free to members and visitors in the south, is also bringing in large numbers of machines from New York and foreign lands. Private touring parties are also bringing in numerous cars from northern points, notably Seattle and Portland. Motorists who desire to ship their machines to other countries are advised to get in touch with the nearest club office for information at this time in regard to carload lots of autos which are leaving within a few days, as cheaper rates in this way are available. By this "clubbing together" method, autoists are able to save large sums of money. It is also increasing the number of visitors in southern California and greatly increases the general prosperity of the southern counties of the state. Shipments by sea as well as by land, of course, are very popular at this time. BABIES AS SWIMMERS Refreshing and instructive is the story of the two-year-old baby in Sacramento, who fell into a pond and swam ashore. There is nothing necessarily miraculous or mysterious about little Velma's feat. Finding herself in the water, wet and uncomfortable, she simply obeyed her natural impulse to work her hands and feet. It may have been instinctive swimming, and again it may have been merely an infantile way of expressing indignation at such an outrageous predicament. Many a man and woman who has had the experience of rescuing small children from drowning can testify that they may keep themselves afloat for several minutes by splashing around in the water, and the younger they are, the more likely they are to be saved. A grown-up who cannot swim will usually sink quicker than a department of the Automobile Club of Southern California just received.

The outlook for the Chansier-Canfield Midway to get an oil well at Bradford No. 2, Richfield, looks better now than ever before. At 4500 feet this well is showing up strong. Bradford No. 2 is located a few hundred yards north of the Clark Wetzell, a dister, but is across the fault line. Niel Anderson has taken over the Richfield-Yorba Oil company's well on a contract to put it on production. The Richfield-Yorba company has tried to put the well on production for a year or more. Anderson will perforate the 414 casing from 3260 to 3390 and take advantage of the sand from which neighboring wells are producing from. Should this fall to produce results the well will be deepened. Hard luck continues to follow the struggle the Ridge Oil company is making to get production. Drilling a few days ago was at 4775 when the 414 casing parted and dropped. Announcement has been made by Richfield Giant officials that drilling will be resumed on this deep test well at an early date. At 3960 a heavy oil was struck and there is reason to believe that a few hundred feet more of hole will get the required results. The Bandini Petroleum company will make a show-down test of its prospects at well No. 1. Drilled at 4095, this well has showed strong evidence of being a commercial producer, the only thing seemingly to stand in the way of it being failure to shut off the water. Newport seems to be nearing an oil boom. The showings found recently by the Long Beach Consolidated would almost warrant the prediction of success for a field that has been tried out for a dozen or more years. At 3495 Many a man and woman who has had the experience of rescuing small children from drowning can testify that they may keep themselves afloat for several minutes by splashing around in the water, and the younger they are, the more likely they are to be saved. A grown-up who cannot swim will usually sink quicker than a baby. The cause is perhaps psychological. The baby, though frightened, doesn't know enough to be frightened to death—or knows too much, if you want to put it that way. The older person may be paralyzed by fear, and so go down like a stone, while the child expends its energy in useful struggling. There may be some sort of evolutionary influence working, too. No doubt the children used to start swimming much earlier than they do now. Native children of the South Seas, where everybody swims, learn for themselves, says Frederick O'Brien, and are seen swimming like frogs at the age of one year. Handicapped as we are in some ways by our civilization, it is easier for a white child to learn to swim than for a grown-up. Moral: Start early. Teach the children to swim this summer. PLENTY OF PETROLEUM The petroleum situation has been misunderstood because figures dealing with the available supplies have been mostly confined to the "pool" deposits, which flow more or less freely from drilled wells. Such production has admittedly reached its peak and is due to start declining unless unforeseen discoveries should be made. But that is only one source. Though NOTICE TO CITY Estate of W. N.

LIZZIE I Administratrix of the Seaman, Decease LEONARD EVANS Attorney for Ad the easiest and cheapest, it represents a mere fraction of the total oil in sight. There are vast, rich shale deposits practically untouched, says Dr. Ralph McKee, professor of chemical engineering in Columbia university: It is not commonly appreciated how large these shale deposits are. If we consider only those oil shales which will furnish a barrel of 42 gallons, or better, of petroleum per ton of shale, we have in the Green river section of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming alone sufficient to furnish 64,000,000,000 barrels of petroleum, which amount is eight times larger than the total of the petroleum that this country has produced since Colonel Drake drilled the first oil well in 1859 at Titusville, Pa. This is also more than five times the total production of the world since petroleum became a commercial product 60 years ago. And it is by no means all. There are big deposits in Nevada, California, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and others in various parts of the world. Many of them will give as much as 80 gallons of oil to a ton. The extraction of this shale oil seems bound to become a big industry in the future, supplying the nation's petroleum needs for hundreds of years to come, just as the lignite of Montana and North Dakota will replace our anthracite and bituminous coal when they are exhausted. CUSTOMER OWNERS NOW DEMAND UTILITY NEWS Customer ownership of utility securities demands a new mental attitude on the part of the utility executive in his relations with the press. The day is past when the central-station-company manager can refuse to have anything to do with the newspapers. The idea that news given out should be NOT SPECTACULAR BUT EFFECTIVE The remark of a prominent magazine editor that President Harding has no elements of spectacularity, is absolutely true. When Mr. Harding was a newspaper editor, he permitted no sensationalism in his columns. Every line of his paper was fit to read in any home. His service in the senate was without a single appeal to the galleries or to the writers of headlines. His campaign for the presidency was conducted with all the dignity that is becoming to a contest of that national importance. In private life Mr. Harding was a careful, enterprising, dependable business man; in public life he has conducted himself in accordance with habits of thought and action formed in many years of practical experience in dealing with his fellow men. He has not pretended that he alone can save the nation from its ill nor has he assumed that in him alone are all wisdom and virtue centered. Like the head of every great business concern in private enterprises, he called to his old men of high ability and entrusted to them the duties and responsibilities of the several departments. No branch of the government service has been compelled to delay its work while waiting word from him. Recognizing the limitations of time and human strength, he has been willing that others shall exercise power, and he has been generous in according them full credit for what they have accomplished. Mr. Harding has made the white house the headquarters of a truly popular government, restoring significance to the name of democracy. Little of this could have been written concerning Mr. Harding if he had given himself up to spectacular efforts. "The rerult is not gene appreciated almost the making forcess." CUSTOMER OWNERS NOW DEMAND UTILITY NEWS Customer ownership of utility securities demands a new mental attitude on the part of the utility executive in his relations with the press. The day is past when the central-station-company manager can refuse to have anything to do with the newspapers. The idea that news given out should be good propaganda for the company must be abandoned. For the people are beginning to realize that they not only regulate, but own, the public service companies and therefore have a right to know what is going on. It was fear of the radical politician that put a muzzle on the employees of railroads and other utilities and built up the negative policy of telling nothing. A positive policy of telling all would have disarmed the agitator and won the confidence and sympathy of the people, because straight-forward, open honesty has a winning appeal. With public ownership through popular investment in the company the fear of political persecution dies. The people maintain the institution of the press so that they may know the news. It is the simple duty of executives to give the press full, frank and free access and tell it everything. The people want to know about the public service company and all it does. Who is the official of the electric light and power company that he should hide things—good or bad—from those who own his corporation and, in fact, employ him? There are some men who do not yet see this thing clearly. ALIEN REGISTRATION BILL IS INTRODUCED Senator Shortridge Backs Measure Aimed to Help California Senator Shortridge, after a conference with the officials of the department of labor, introduced his bill to require the registration of aliens. Senator Shortridge summarized the measure as follows: "The bill provides for the enrollment of all aliens annually, payment by each alien of an annual fee of $24, codifying of all naturalization laws; changing the name of the naturalization bureau to the bureau of citizenship and reorganizing its activities and making provision for the money realized to go into citizenship instruction fund for the education of all aliens in nizhing the limitations of time and human strength, he has been willing that others shall exercise power, and he has been generous in according them full credit for what they have accomplished. Mr. Harding has made the white house the headquarters of a truly popular government, restoring significance to the name of democracy. Little of this could have been written concerning Mr. Harding if he had given himself up to spectacular efforts. WILSON DIDN'T KEEP HIS WORD In discussing President Wilson's appeal for party support in the congressional elections of 1918, Mr. Tumulty devotes unnecessary space to justifying the president as quite within his rights. We were not aware that the propriety of such appeals on ordinary occasions has ever been questioned. All presidents work for the success of their party at all elections, and the more openly they do it the better for everybody. Quite contrary to the intent or expectation of those who framed the constitution, all our presidents lead a dual political life. As national leaders they represent the whole people in international affairs. As party leaders they lead their party in domestic affairs. Whether a president does well to openly and officially make international questions party questions, the American people must decide. Apparently they resented in the case of President Wilson, for in spite of his appeal they returned a diametrically opposed congress to him. In his appeal for a Democratic congress as evidence of the people's approval of his foreign policy, and confidence in him as the "unembarrassed spokesman at home and abroad," the president used the following language: "I am your servant and will accept your judgment without cavil." The most serious popular objection to President Wilson was that he did not keep that promise. On the contrary, instead of following unbroken precedent, and sending a bi-partisan delegation to Paris he ignored the vote which he had promised to respect, went personally to Paris, and when there insisted on endeavoring to pledge the American people to policies which a subsequent election showed that they abhorred. When President Wilson broke the promise any one crop. It has been practiced to a limited extent in the south in the effort to get a living price for cotton. But with the great carry-over of corn since the biggest-ever crop of last year the question will bob up "Shall corn acreage be reduced." In discussing the question from a purely financial standpoint Prof. Boss ends a rather extended article with "To be sure the grasses and clovers can well be substituted for a part of the grain or corn crops, but these are feed crops and must be converted into cash through the medium of livestock. Livestock needs supplemental feeds and of these corn and oats are in the greatest favor. Think this over before cutting down the corn crop." WILL FINANCE INSECTARY That Orange county citrus associations are ready to assist in the work of establishing an insectary and to finance an expedition to foreign lands to seek further parasites for the control of citrus pests, was the statement or C. E. Utt, of Tustin, at the meeting of the farm center there Friday night. Growers are willing to finance the proposition Mr. Utt stated in his re- Senator Shortridge summarized the measure as follows: "The bill provides for the enrollment of all aliens annually, payment by each alien of an annual fee of $24, codifying of all naturalization laws; changing the name of the naturalization bureau to the bureau of citizenship and reorganizing its activities and making provision for the money realized to go into citizenship instruction fund for the education of all aliens in the American form of government and its ideals." From a strictly California angle, the bill is especially desirable, as it will give the most accurate statistics obtainable on the total Japanese population, since it will require every alien to register.

EUROPEAN FINANCES In eastern Europe an income equal to $1000 in our money has shrunk to $5, and is shrinking to nothing. Foreign insurance companies in business there now pay policies calling for $1,000 in gold with an American $5 bill. Yet this means no profit to companies which were forced to invest their possessions in the securities of the lands where they did business; for the value of these has disappeared. Recreated Poland, a land of 30 million people, rich in natural recourses, was free from debt two years ago, but has since then printed 170 billions of marks and is planning to issue 70 billion more. The result is nearly universal, hopeless impoverishment. And what of the future? Can anyone point out how such insolvent governments can escape bankruptcy or how, when they have mediated their civilizations and birthless paper currency, they are to sit on their financial feet again?
