OIL FIELD NOTES Developments at Seal Beah continue to look as encouraging as any new wildcate field needs to look. Showings in the Debney syndicate well at 600 feet make it almost safe to water on a producer. The Seal Beach Oil company at 2600 feet is drilling in formation that has sufficient showings to make the drillings exceedingly interesting. Developments at Fairview look interesting enough to have caused a new oil company to go into the field, and for the Fairview Oil company to start a second well. The new company in this district is the Portland Petroleum company, which has leased a substantial acreage alongside the Fairview Oil company's Goldsmith property and will begin drilling at once. The Fairview's new well is located on the Goldsmith lease and the rig is under construction. Fairview No. 1 is drilling at 2500, with indications now that the "black gold" will be struck at 2800 to 3000 feet. W. H. Smullen, former Standard Oil chief and one of the best oil men in the west, is in charge of the Fairview drillings. Smullen regards the field with considerable favor and his judgment has some weight. Over in the Irvine hills east of Newport the work of the Wucherer-Gray and W. A. G. Petroleum company continues to attract a great deal of attention. The Wucherer-Gray No. 1 is now 4150 and is drilling in a sandy blue shale that shows a little gas. The W. A. G. shows 3500 feet of hole and hard sandstone formation. Production in the Irvine hills district is beginning to look like a deep well propane's No. 1 looks like it will be a duplicate of the Getty. Production honors for the week went to the Western Star Petroleum company and the United States Oil Company. The Western Star's Robinson No. 1, finished at 3224, is flowing 1500 barrels. The United's Denni No. 2, is completed at the same depth, and is flowing 1300 barrels of 25 gracity. PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS There can be no doubt that President Harding has won the approval of the country several times when it has been necessary for him to take direct issue with congress. One instance was when he stayed the onslaught directed against the arm yand navy. He did not convert the "little navy" fellows, but he caused bigger men to rally, and to encompass their defeat. The result is that the country is left with an army and navy instead of a mere tradition and memory of such establishments. The merchant marine is a new issue, and has provoked a new contest President Harding favors the merchant marine. It is probable that in common with other Americans, he would be glad to see it started and maintained without a subsidy. If it cannot be brought to a flourishing condition in the absence of a subsidy, he desires it subsidized. Certainly in no other way could it be put on an even basis for competition with commercial rivals. No nation ever had a better chance to cause its ships to sail all the seven seas, carrying the American flag to every port through which trade passes. The end of the war found this country with an immense tonnage. Even eliminating that which had been hastily and badly constructed, and really represented nothing but waste, there were sound bottoms in plenty available for commercial purposes. At once THE TACTICS OF PROBLEM Every publication states which harm alien as against whether because of or for some more now engaged in an pending Republican not necessary for alienism to know what is likely to measure is broad in order for them to statements, made for age in former tariff effect that they is "the most outrageous ever enacted," "infamies" and of the poses of the active system is a suture which lifts his limits of patriotism to emit no end of tion as an instrument and "graft" practice ests upon the "downer."

Despite all this c Over in the Irvine hills east of Newport the work of the Wucherer-Gray and W. A. G. Petroleum company continues to attract a great deal of attention. The Wurcherer-Gray No. 1 is now 4150 and is drilling in a sandy blue shale that shows a little gas. The W. A. G. shows 3500 feet of hole and hard sandstone formation. Production in the Irvine hills district is beginning to look like a deep well proposition. Huntington Beach presented interesting developments from different parts of the field during the last two weeks. The extreme east side of the field remains in doubt as the Golden Dome failed to secure a producer at 3020 and will be deepened. The Union Oil company's Newlands well No. 2, down 3740, is trying to shut off the water at 3265 and as yet has had little success in the venture. The Standard's Thompson at 3493 is producing 40 barrels, a large percentage of that being water. Surf No. 2, another well near these, is drilling at 4200 feet and is now showing up very strong. The Shell 1 Oil company's Newland Borchard No. 1, formerly the National Exploration company's well, completed at 3482, is on the beam pumping salt water. The Standard Oil company, putting three wells on production, increased the output of the Huntington Beach district by 1200 barrels. The Union Oil company's Brooks No. 1, one of the biggest wells in the field and the best producer the Union has yet gotten in Huntington Beach territory, is holding steadily at 1000 barrels. Hill Community, another deep well, is rapidly clearing up and will make about a 200 barrel producer. Deep drilling at Richfield by the Standard and Union has not resulted in anything promising on the Kellogg and Dickson properties. The Standard Oil company's Kellogg No. 1, making hole at 5435, is drilling in a gray sand and not showing any indications of oil. The Union Oil company is trying to find production on the Dickson lease and has a test well drilling basis for competition with commercial rivals. No nation ever had a better chance to cause its ships to sail all the seven seas, carrying the American flag to every port through which trade passes. The end of the war found this country with an immense tonnage. Even eliminating that which had been hastily and badly constructed, and really represented nothing but waste, there were sound bottoms in plenty available for commercial purposes. At once arose demand for an American merchant marine. It has not been met. National pride, and it natural desire to find a market for American products continues to accentuate this demand. The president has heard it. Perhaps he may be able to make congress hear it. MARSHALL OPPOSES THE WATER AND POWER ACT Responding to the request of many civic bodies and chambers of commerce that he define his stand on the proposed water and power act, Colonel Robert B. Marshall, father of the Marshall plan of water conservation, has just come out flatly against the measure. "If I had three and a half million votes to cast I would cast them all 'no' on the water and power act," he declared at a meeting called by the chamber of commerce of Porterville. Later he made several speeches before interested organizations. He said in part: "The water and power act has nothing on earth to do with the Marshall plan. You may take five hundred dollars or five hundred billion dollars and spend it in a haphazard way without co-ordination in getting it together and you have lost the Marshall plan. That is what we have been doing in California for the past fifty years. The Marshall plan is merely a co-ordinated plan. It is necessary and important that you hearken back to the last legislature, the result of which was an order for an appropriation of $200,000 or more to see if what Marshall said was true, and I am going to tell you a little secret that what Marshall said has been found to be better than he said. "Go slow. Go very slow and think it over before you tie up with the water and power proposition on the strength of the things these debaters tell you about until you find out what you have and what you are going to do with it. Wait for the report of the commission they have always claimed in a preense of consumer. They have the American people only a producer as summer, and that a must develop its own industry its own markets or of the countries within into economic union vice of free trade. Despite all this confusion against protection, we called the American doctrine favored by majority of the Americans sparing of the defense policy, the enemies some of them affect policy, seek to destroy attacking every product that would actually produce at hot Professing to favor borers from within me on to assail any tariff protective with hy that it represents an action of the protection would be oppressive ing public. The pretense still tariff rate upon a adds that much to thie care affected, to the may have been a time some excuse for the bit of idiocy. But since in the campaign of 1915 by the Democrat down the high cost reduction no one new puerile would repeat thoroughly discredited We are under a free now. Has it reduced commodity to the co-impaired American price; it has flooded our imports; it has created of the unemployed, we can consumer know; the government has no benefit of the low come to him. It has a foreign producer; and by the distribution United States abroad in many inst prices, have disposed commodities in this case just low enough to American producer, a consumer has been so traffic will bear. At this time the De Deep drilling at Richfield by the Standard and Union has not resulted in anything promising on the Kellogg and Dickson properties. The Standard Oil company's Kellogg No. 1, making hole at 5435, is drilling in a gray sand and not showing any indications of oil. The Union Oil company is trying to find production on the Dickson lease and has a test well drilling at 4355 and as yet has found nothing encouraging aside from a few traces of oil sand. Santa Fe Springs furnished local oildom was a real thrill when the General Petroleum brought in a 2200-barrel well at a depth of 1911. This new well proves up about a mile of new territory on the south side of the field and put in the proven area about 50 properties on which rigs are up and drilling. The advent of the General Petroleum's third produces raises its daily output to better than 10,000 barrels. The Chansler-Canfield Midway has settled all the doubts about the Redondo field by bringing in an 800-barrel well on the Del Amo lease. The Del Amo, or discovery, well was brought in the first time some six months ago at 250 barrels. The well produced for a few days and made only heavy oil. Deepening to 3500 feet brought the well in the lower sands and the result is an 800-barrel well producing 21 gravity oil. Signal Hill has recovered the 5000 barrels lost last week by the bringing in of two wells. The Getty Oil company has a 2500 barrel well on the Nugent property and the Holmes Oil which was an order for an appropriation of $200,000 or more to see if what Marshall said was true, and I am going to tell you a little secret that what Marshall said has been found to be better than he said. "Go slow. Go very slow and think it over before you tie up with the water and power proposition on the strength of the things these debaters tell you about until you find out what you have and what you are going to do with it. Wait for the report of the commission and then after you are through digesting the report base your opinions on the facts of what we have found and see what we can do." "The biggest thing before the people of the state is the saving and using of its waters. I am not going to tell you how to vote as you know your business better than I do, but can't we wait until the state has received the report of its investigating committee? Wait until we can go into the legislature and say here is what we can and here is what we can't do, and let us trust our legislators to do what is right, and I believe whoever the legislature may be it will get together and pass the necessary laws to carry out plans or to carry investigation further." American dairymen will be interested in noting that the Republican tariff law, now pending in the senate, carries an import duty on milk, either fresh or condensed. The present Democratic tariff law permits free entry of either fresh or canned milk. Our foreign competition has been considerable and hurts the market of the American producer. The Republican policy is to look after the interests of the American producer, for unless we have prosperous producers we cannot have liberal consumers. THE TACTICS OF PROTECTION'S FOES Every publication in the United States which habitually advocates alien as against American interests, whether because of pure perverseness or for some more sinister reason, is now engaged in an outcry against the pending Republican tariff bill. It is not necessary for these organs or alienism to know what is in the bill, or what is likely to be in it before the measure is brought to enactment, in order for them to emit sensational statements, made familiar through usage in former tariff discussions, to the effect that the pending measure is "the most outrageous tariff measure ever enacted," full of "abomination," "infamies" and "outrages." One of the poses of the foe of the protective system is a superior moral pretense which lifts him above the petty limits of patriotism and causes him to emit no end of cant about protection as an instrumentality of "greed" and "graft" practiced by "the interests" upon the "downtrodden consumer." There was no division among the founders of the republic as to the necessity of protection, but for more than a century the agents of Europeanism in the United States have waged war on the protective system. Fighting against the industrial development of their country the nation's attainment of economic independence, they have always cloaked their agitation in a pretense of interest in the consumer. They have sought to blind the American people to the fact that only a producer is a worth while consumer, and that a nation like ours must develop its own resources, expand its own industries and protect its own markets or sink to the level of the countries with which it enters into economic union through the practice of free trade. Despite all this century of warfare financial interests which have reaped hundreds of millions in profits through the exploitation of the American market, while hundreds of thousands of American wage earners have paid the price in unemployment through the displacement of articles of home production. That this exploitation of the American people may continue as long as possible, and that the Republican party may be prevented from profiting by the prosperity a real protective tariff would bring to the country, Democratic leadership in the senate is using every petty expedient to delay action upon the pending tariff bill. There is a good deal of discussion at present about the matter of a bonus for the American soldiers of the world war. While this is going on the people of this country are paying a bonus of scores of millions monthly to allen and importing interests. Most of the enemies of protection are also insisting that the people of this country should pay an eleven billion dollar bonus to Europe through the cancellation of the war debts. Their motto is "billions for tribute, but not one cent for national defense," or national development. IS THIS EQUAL TAXATION Joint stock land banks, semi-federal institutions, are now being rapidly organized in all parts of the country. The attraction lies in the fact that the bonds issued by the banks to get the money to loan to farmers are free of all federal, state and local taxation. Such bonds are in great demand by large insome taxpayers and sell well. Of course by as much as these bonds are exempt from taxation by so much are the taxes on other people's property increased. As there are now some $30,000,000 in tax-exempt or practically tax-exempt bonds outstanding in the United States, it is easy to see why taxes CHRISTIAN SCIENCE First Church of Christ, Scientist, corner of Philadelphia and Chartres streets.

Defendants. You are hereby directed to appear and answer the complaint in an action. they have always cloaked their agitation in a pretense of interest in the consumer. They have sought to blind the American people to the fact that only a producer is a worth while consumer, and that a nation like ours must develop its own resources, expand its own industries and protect its own markets or sink to the level of the countries with which it enters into economic union through the practice of free trade. Despite all this century of warfare against protection, when Henry Clay called the American policy is still the doctrine favored by an overwhelming majority of the American people. Despairing of the defeat of protection as a policy, the enemies of protection, some of them affecting favor for the policy, seek to destroy it in detail by attacking every proposed tariff rate that would actually equalize the cost of production at home and abroad. Professing to favor protection, these borers from within may be depended on to assail any tariff schedule actually protective with hypocritical outcry that it represents an extreme application of the protective theory that would be oppressive to the consuming public. The pretense still persists that a tariff rate upon a given commodity adds that much to the cost of the article affected, to the consumer. There may have been a time when there was some excuse for the repetition of this bit of idiocy. But since it was aired in the campaign of 1912, with a promise by the Democratic party to cut down the high cost of living by tariff reduction no one neither senile nor puerile would repeat a sophistry so thoroughly discredited by experience. We are under a free trade tariff law now. Has it reduced the price of any commodity to the consumer? It has impaired American productive industry; it has flooded our markets with imports; it has created a huge army of the unemployed, but every American consumer knows that whatever the government has lost in revenue, no benefit of the low tariff rate has come to him. It has been pocketed by the foreign producer, by the importer and by the distributing interests of the United States, who, buying abroad in many instances at pauper prices, have disposed of the imported commodities in this country at a price just low enough to undersell the American producer, and the American consumer has been soaked for all the traffic will bear. At this time the Democratic minor- no benefit of the low tariff rate has come to him. It has been pocketed by the foreign producer, by the importer and by the distributing interests of the United States, who, buying abroad in many instances at pauper prices, have disposed of the imported commodities in this country at a price just low enough to undersell the American producer, and the American consumer has been soaked for all the traffic will bear. At this time the Democratic minority in the senate is engaged in a filibuster to prevent the enactment of a protective tariff law. That filibuster, from that quarter and from others, has been going on for months. It has had the backing of huge importing and DON'T put off needed repairs because you fear the cost.

They are so used to drawing fresh, clean, rust-free hot water at every turn of the faucet, they just take it as a matter of course. So cheap, too! Pittsburg Water Heater owners only pay the price of a newspaper for 10 gallons. Think of it! 10 gallons of fresh, clean, piping hot water for what a paper costs! Think of all the personal comforts and household conveniences this much water will give you. There's really no reason why everybody shouldn't have the comforts and economy of the Pittsburg Automatic Gas Water Heaters. A small initial payment will put in your pocket.
