OIL FIELD NOTES The Wucherer-Gray interests, drilling two test wells in the Irvine hills, south of Newport, have reached a depth of 4200 feet on one well and 3600 on another. The deep well at 4200 is showing a brown shale and is looking about the same as it did at 4000 feet. The next 300 feet will determine the fate of the Wucherer-Gray test well. The Long Beach Consolidated Oil company has succeeded in getting its No. 1 at Newport down to 3900 feet. At this depth the tubing will be put in and a production test will be made. Recent showings led to the stopping of drilling and making the production test now. Seal Beach is all expectation and excitement now. The Henry D. Dabney syndicate has set a string of ten inch in its test well somewhere in the neighborhood of 3000 feet. It is understood that the showings have been exceptionally good and warranted the setting of pipe. Drilling by the Standard Oil company at Buena Park is not causing any special excitement. The test well is close to 3400 and as yet has not shown any strong indications of oil. A few weeks ago an attempted excitement was started by some one saying that the well was looking good. Santa Fe Springs drilling conditions for the week show that the Amalgamated Oil company is next for production honors. The Amalgamated has Butterworth No. 3 in the oil sand at 4450 and is showing up strong. The Amalgamated's Jordan got a nice showing of oil at 3527 and set the 814-inch sons under sentence of felony would seem to me not to be especially objectionable," District Attorney Nelson said. "They would not appear to work to the detriment of the defendant. On the other hand, it is my opinion that publication of statements in persons accused of crime but who have not been tried, might have tendency to jeopardize their interests. Such interviews should therefore be limited—not, however, by means of laws. Rather should they be limited through mutual understanding on the part of the newspapers themselves. "As to the place of the press in the investigation of crimes, I can see no necessity for state legislation to govern this. "I have always found the newspapers more than willing to co-operate. Furthermore, it has been my experience that whenever the work of bringing a criminal to justice was likely to be subverted by premature publication of facts in connection therewith, the papers have always been more than ready to withhold such publication, provided a good and valid reason could be given therefore." WARNS AGAINST FIRE With grass in the mountains deep and dry, there is more danger from fire this summer than in years. This opinion was expressed by County Fire Warden W. E. Adkinson, who was in conference Friday with Forest Ranger H. I. Snider, of Corona, in charge of the Trabuco division of the Cleveland national forest, relative to plans for watching for fires that may start in the Santa Ana mountains. Snider is making arrangements to have a man stationed throughout the dry months on Santiago peak, which is the highest of the two peaks that made up Old Saddleback mountain. The lookout station is connected with... Santa Fe Springs drilling conditions for the week show that the Amalgamated Oil company is next for production honors. The Amalgamated has Butterworth No. 3 in the oil sand at 4450 and is showing up strong. The Amalgamated's Jordan got a nice showing of oil at 3527 and set the 81-4 inch. George F. Getty's Nordstrum well did not break into big production last week as expected. The production of the General Petroleum's Springs No. 1 well has declined from 2000 barrels to less than 1000 barrels. The Globe Petroleum company, holder of the Brunson property adjoining the General Petroleum's Springs No. 1, has started development work. The Union Oil company's well, Farwell No. 1, now drilling at 4355, is not showing any particular encouragement. The Nevada-Ventura is rigging up to drill the cement out at 3608. Prior to setting the pipe this company developed an excellent showing of oil. At Signal Hill, the United Oil company's Hess No. 1, now drilling at 3100 feet, has been in the oil sand for more than 500 feet. This well, should it be a producer, will prove the southwest side of the field. The Cal-Mex Oil and Refining company continues to fight water in the Kirkpatrick well. Interest in the Fischer well increases as the hole approaches the 4400 mark. At 4375 the well is showing a brown shale. New production at Long Beach is about to be delivered by the Holmes Oil company and the Union Oil company. The Transport Oil company is about to break into the producing list at Long Beach. MUZZLING UNPOPULAR Who was in conference Friday with Forest Ranger H. I. Snider, of Corona, in charge of the Trabuco division of the Cleveland national forest, relative to plans for watching for fires that may start in the Santa Ana mountains. Snider is making arrangements to have a man stationed throughout the dry months on Santiago peak, which is the highest of the two peaks that made up Old Saddleback mountains. The lookout station is connected with telephone line on both sides of the range, and sight of smoke from the lookout will be telephoned quickly to authorities. Adkinson's home in the Trabuco is connected with the government phone line that runs from El Toro across the range to Glen Ivy. "Anyone riding into the mountains from this day on should use particular care to guard against starting a grass or brush fire," said Adkinson. "I have never known the danger to be so great as it is this year. The grass is so plentiful that almost everywhere a camp is established grass must be cleaned away for several yards from the fire place." "Anyone in the hills or mountains should observe at least three rules," said Snider. "First, do not start a fire of any sort close to grassy and brushy areas, but, rather, select a spot where fire cannot possibly be communicated to areas in which fire once started might sweep beyond the possibility of control. "Second, observe the law that requires that no campfire be left unguarded even for a minute, and observe the law that says that a fire must be completely extinguished before it is left. A bucket of water or more should be applied. "Third, don't toss cigar and cigarette stubs and lighted matches out of your automobile as you go along or out of your camp. A man gets in the habit of flipping a stub from his fingers without thinking where it is going to land. He will light his cigar and throw the match away thinking that it will go out while falling—that is, if he think at all about what it will do. Some of those matches don't go out. Adkinson insists that one of the most frequent offenses is that of leaving campfires unguarded. "A man puts on a pot of beans to cook and goes off fishing," he said. "A gust of wind may sweep a brand from that fire on to nearby grass. If anyone were in camp the fire might be quickly put out! Otherwise it may..." We have too many islands "passing their courts." And then we have temper against the court their duty, when they see the law making body, congress. So, when Mr. Gompe or any other person decides, he should know contents of the decision not like arises from the court or from the court or to the human force ing natural rights that not like. We would be far better addressed more of our laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to the laws than to... New production at Long Beach is about to be delivered by the Holmes Oil company and the Union Oil company. The Transport Oil company is about to break into the producing list at Long Beach. MUZZLING UNPOPULAR The district attorneys of California, who at Placerville Monday swung into the second day's sessions of their twelfth annual convention, will frown upon any attempts to muzzle the press with regard to publication of news relative to criminal investigations and prosecutions. That is, they will, if views expressed by District Attorney A. P. Nelson, of Orange county, and three former district attorneys of the county may be taken as a criterion. Nelson was unable to attend the annual convention on account of pressure of duties here. One of the subjects scheduled to come before the district attorneys at their annual meeting is: "Should the state of California Forbid the Publication of Interviews from Persons Under Sentence of Felony?" Another is: "What is the Proper Place for the Public Press in the Investigation of Crimes and the Prosecution of Persons Accused of Crime?" Regulation of these matters, if any is needed, should be left to the newspapers themselves to work out; any attempt at state legislation in this regard would savor too much of an inclination to hamper the freedom of the press—this was the consensus among those who were interviewed. "Publication of interviews from per- Detroit is booming again. The Ford schedule for June calls for 5400 cars a day, more than ever before. The other factors show corresponding gains. With production speeded up, and working forces doing perhaps 20 per cent more than they used so. It is impossible to keep up with the insatiable demand for more cars. Manufacturers of cars and parts in other cities have the same story to tell. Thus the automobile industry leads all the rest in the industrial revival. That is partly because it led, in deflation, while others hesitated. It is also due to the increasing demand for transportation facilities. A philosopher once said that the primary needs of a man were as follows: First, food; second, cothing; third, shelter; fourth, transportation. That seems sound enough today, except that the fourth need is more clearly appreciated than ever before. Some may question whether it should come, so far down the list, because without transportation it would be impossibe to provide the food, cothing and shelter needed by modern civilization. ATTACKING COURT DECISIONS Samuel Gompers says quite truly that American citizens have a right to criticise the courts. To be sure they have. But the way in which they criticise the courts will have much to do with the effectiveness of their criticism. Citizens have the right and should criticise the courts for not carrying out the purposes for which they themselves, as citizens, have joined in establishing the courts and now consent to continue the courts. Our government being one of consent, we can and will change it, when we get ready to do so. If the courts do not carry out the purposes for which they are established they will be altered or abolished or reorganized. But we must be slow to make up our minds that the courts are not carrying out the purposes that are assigned to them. Especially, we must not confuse the "method" by which the courts arrive at a decision, and the "character" of that decision. The courts may not be responsible for the character of the decision at all. The facts in the case, and the law that applies to these facts, determine this decision, if the court pursues the right method in handling the facts and applying the law. The courts happen to be the last line of resistance in preserving the proper operations of society. We have too many examples of legislatures "passing the buck" to the courts. And then we have exhibitions of temper against the courts, for doing their duty, when the fault lies with the law making body, legislatures and congress. So, when Mr. Gompers, or Mr. Gary, or any other person criticises a court decision, he should know what he is doing. He should know whether the community died and the neighbors were gathered about his grave waiting. Not a clod of earth was thrown because as yet no one had thought of anything good to say about the dead man. The hour grew late and stilled the open grave was surrounded by the silent neighbors. Finally, having chores to do at home and seeing that the affair was going to last a long time, one man stepped forward and said: "Vell, I can say dis for Chake, once already yet. Some times he wasn't so mean as he was at udder times." Then the saxon began shoveling. INVEST IN CITIZENSHIP "A million dollars worth of good citizenship" is claimed by a Chicago juvenile court judge, as the returns from an investment in boys' clubs. An old building was secured two years ago in the most congested district and equipped with a library, gymnasium, shower and a swimming pool and good moving pictures. There, 900 boys who used to be on the streets in their idle hours with nobody to care what they were up to were gathered in to enjoy themselves and keep fit. The city has since been completely organized and 1500 boys now belong to the club. The smaller ones pay 5 cents a month for the privileges including motion pictures Saturday nights. The older boys pay 10 cents a month. The practical result has been a decrease in delinquency of exactly 70 per cent. Instead of breaking windows and raising Cain generally these youngsters are kept straight by the simple expedient of giving them something they like to do; giving them companionship; giving them the right kinds of books and pictures and keeping them off the streets. Possibly there is a hint in this for parents with personal boy problems. IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL Doctor—How does the patient act when he is alone? Nurse—I could not say. I have never been with him when he was alone. AGING RAPIDLY Manager (to applicant for office boy vacancy)—Aren't you the boy who applied for this position a fortnight ago? Boy—Yes, sir. Manager—and didn't I say I wanted an older boy? Boy—Yes, sir. That's why I'm here now. SUMMONS In the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Orange. Charles E. Ramella, Plaintiff, vs. Josiah Bates, et al., Defendants. No 12992—Summons. Action brought in the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Orange, and the complaint filed in the office of the Clerk of said County of Orange. Leonard Evans, Attorney for Plaintiff. The People of the State of California Send Greetings to: Josiah Bates, S. F. Smith, R. E. Radcliff, G. D. Plato, John Romello, also known as John Ramella, Meta Sophia Dorothea Zeyn, Wilhelmina Johanna Holcomb, J. C. Schumacher, also all other persons unknown, claiming any right, title, estate, lien or interest, in the real property described in the complaint, adverse to the plaintiff's ownership or any cloud upon plaintiff's title thereto, Defendants. You are hereby directed to appear and answer the complaint in an action proper operations of society. We have too many examples of legislatures "passing the buck" to the courts. And then we have exhibitions of temper against the courts, for doing their duty, when the fault lies with the law making body, legislatures and congress. So, when Mr. Gompers, or Mr. Gary, or any other person criticises a court decision, he should know what he is doing. He should know whether the contents of the decision that he does not like arises from the "method" of the court or from the terms of the law or to the human forces at play, creating natural rights that the critic does not like. We would be far better off, if we addressed more of our criticisms to the laws than to the court decisions. KEEP OUT THIS PEST The demand made upon the state board of control for the appropriation of funds for better quarantining of California against the Mediterranean fruit fly and the refusal of the board to authorize emergency action was doubtless expressive of the legal facts in the case. But we should heartily hope that the members of the next legislature will take proper action to put the state back of any movement to save the fruit industries of California from such a pest. We are committed to the view that the police power of the state should be used just as much against vermin as against burglars. If we have highwaymen raiding the trains, or thieves entering jewelry stores, we set constables on them. Equally, if property rights of the extent and importance of California's fruit is menaced by the threatened raids of insects, we should be guarded against them. Our fruit orchards are our most highly capitalized factories. On their welfare depends the happiness of our people. The state can properly spend taxes to save them. ROAD ASSOCIATION URGES HIGHER TAXES The American Association of State Highway Officials at their annual meeting at Omaha ment on record in favor of higher taxes on motor vehicles: It was resolved that the association increase in delinquency of exactly 70 per cent. Instead of breaking windows and raising Cain generally these youngsters are kept straight by the simple expedient of giving them something they like to do; giving them companionship; giving them the right kinds of books and pictures and keeping them off the streets. Possibly there is a hint in this for parents with personal boy problems. Some men are like a dog chasing his tail—they try to make ends meet by running around in a circle. DON'T put off needed repairs because you fear the cost. Beaver Board is very inexpensive—and easy to use. Nail it over old plaster or directly to studding and beams. We have it in stock.

PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON ROAD ASSOCIATION URGES HIGHER TAXES The American Association of State Highway Officials at their annual meeting at Omaha ment on record in favor of higher taxes on motor vehicles. It was resolved that the association "urgue upon all states the fairness and the necessity of collecting an adequate portion of the cost of highway programs from the users of motor vehicles. This fair share is not only the cost of maintenance of modern highways, but includes also a fair proportion of the cost of new construction, because much of this latter cost is due to the necessity of adequately providing for motor traffic. It was recommended that appeals be made to the individual motorist for his support of a policy of providing for a fair distribution of the cost of highway improvement." It was stated that in most of the states the owners of motor vehicles are paying an insufficient portion of the cost of the state's highway program, as compared to the portion of the cost raised by taxation on general property, despite the fact that the individual owner is always willing to pay his fair share of such 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 in your pocket.
