OIL FIELD NOTES While Huntington Beach cannot be said to be in the oil limelight at this time, this field is going right ahead and new production is being developed each week. Probably the most noteworthy achievement of the past week was that of the Petroleum Midway, at Plavan No. 1. Drilling this test well to a depth of 4040 feet, the company brought in a 1000 barrel producer making 26 gravityy oil. The well is situated north of the Petroleum Midway's big Towers well and makes the company's properties in that section look very promising. Miley-Keck No. 10, a well finished at 4077 by the Amalgamated Oil company, has increased its production of gravity oil to 675 barrels. The Bell of Montebello, now in the production column at Huntington Beach, has leased the Von Aradel property and will begin drilling at once. The Holly Oil company has had little success in the redrilling and deepening of its first producer. A production test now shows that the well is making less than 50 barrels. The Union Oil company brought in a 450 barrel well at Copeland 7. The Standard Oil company, as usual, led the field for the location and starting of new wells during the past week. On the Huntington B lease four wells were located, and on the Huntington E division two wells were staked off. Surf 2 has become the deep test well on the south side of the field and is an arbitrary increase in the wages of railroad employes. No one complains of that by itself. Everybody rejoiced and will continue to rejoice over any increase in wages a railroad employee or any other employee can justly secure. But the fault lay in the fact that McAdoo used that wage increase as a means of hitting the railroads in the solar plexus. At the same time that he ordered the increase in wages he should have ordered an increase in freight and passenger rates, both increases to take effect on the same day. That would have been ordinary common sense and business judgment, but Mr. McAdoo was lacking in both. The Democratic administration limited the prices the farmers could get for their products, but it placed no limit on the wages the farmers must pay for help in planting, cultivating and harvesting their crops. In fact, the Wilson-McAdoo regime indirectly increased the wages the farmers must pay at the same time that the profits of the farmers were limited. That is the way Democracy hit the farmers at the same time it was hitting the railroads. There can be no successful price-fixing by government unless the price-fixing is universal and equitable, and since human being are not perfect, there can be no just and equitable arrangement of price scales. Satisfactory price-fixing is impossible when men try their best to be fair, but Mr. McAdoo and the other price-fixers of the Wilson administration did not try to be fair. They boosted the expenses of the railroads at the same time that they held revenues down. They boosted the expenses of the farmers at the same time that they held the revenues of the farmers down. They admit that they inflated in order to make it easy to sell Liberty bonds to the public and then they deflated until those who could not carry the bonds were compelled to sell as The Union Oil company brought in a 450 barrel well at Copeland 7. The Standard Oil company, as usual, led the field for the location and starting of new wells during the past week. On the Huntington B lease four wells were located, and on the Huntington E division two wells were staked off. Surf 2 has become the deep test well on the south side of the field and is getting close to 4400 feet. Richfield is scheduled for a new lease of life with the work of the Amalgamated Oil company at Placentia-Pacific No. 1. New hole is now being made at 3925 and the showings are beginning to indicate that the Amalgamated did not pick a lemon when it agreed to take this well over and make something out of it. The Union Oil company's Dickson No. 1, completed at 4800 feet, is about to have the honor of the deepest California producer. The deep well was put on production a few days ago and started off making some water and 40 barrels of oil. There will be little surprise if the Standard Oil company should bail some Chinamen queues out of Kellogg No. 2, now drilling at close to 5600 feet. "Jim:" O'Donnel has started extensive development work on the Whitley Oil company's properties at Rideout Heights. While Santa Fe Springs did not furnish any new gushers for last week record, there are a number of wells nearing completion that will do credit to the field. Nothing but 2000 barrel wells seems to be the order of things at Long Beach. The daily production of the field has been boosted 4000 barrels by two wells, the Henderson Petroleum Syndicate's Helen de L and the United Oil's Hass. Long Beach operators will be compelled to take off their hats to the Petroleum Midway for its exploration work in the extreme northwest part of the field. The Petroleum Midway leased the Field's property and took what is known as a straight gamble. At 3200 feet the showings justified the continuing of drilling and now there is McAdoo and the other price-fixers of the Wilson administration did not try to be fair. They boosted the expenses of the railroads at the same time that they held revenues down. They boosted the expenses of the farmers at the same time that they held the revenues of the farmers down. They admit that they inflated in order to make it easy to sell Liberty bonds to the public and then they deflated until those who could not carry the bonds were compelled to sell as low as 85 cents on the dollar. All this adds emphasis to the statement that you cannot hit the railroads, the farmers or the bondholders without ultimately hitting everybody. Nearly everybody found it out in time to give the Democratic party its walking papers by the largest majority ever recorded in the United States. Democratic campaign managers think the American people have short memories, but they haven't. NOTICE In the Superior Court of the County of Orange State of California.

WEISEL, Attorney for Petitioner. 7-6-3t Long Beach operators will be compelled to take off their hats to the Petroleum Midway for its exploration work in the extreme northwest part of the field. The Petroleum Midway leased the Field's property and took what is known as a straight gamble. At 3200 feet the showings justified the continuing of drilling and now there is a certainty that commercial production will be developed in the Field's well. At 3245 a string of ten inch casing has been set, and the drilling will be continued with all the interest that can be attached to a wild cat venture. The P. M. C. & M. syndicate drilling in the Avocado Grove has struck a nice showing of oil and is making preparations to cement off. The outlook for developing nice wells on this property at 3500 is very good. HIT ONE, HIT ALL A prominent commercial weekly asserts that you cannot hit the railroads without hitting everything else. True, but no more true than the same assertion applied to hitting any other basic industry or enterprise. Farming cannot be a success without an efficient transportation service. Neither can manufacturing. Nor, on the other hand, can the railroads prosper without getting traffic from prosperous agriculture and manufacturing. It is the prosperity of each that makes up the prospecity of all. You cannot hit agriculture without hitting everything else. Failure to recognize that fact was one of the great faults of the Wilson administration. Mr. McAdoo made ANAHEIM GAZETTE OFFICE PHONES HOME 753-1 SUNSET 341-J. Residence, 887 S.

Rusty water ruins clothes The fortunate people are those who have installed a Pittsburg Automatic Gas Water Heater. They don't know what rusty water means. 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. A similar balance can be found in your home. The balance you can pay on a little each month. 25 pct down, balance in 5 equal monthly payments. 238 East Center St. Phone 166 Pittsburg Automatic Gas Water Heaters 238 East Center St. Phone 166 Pittsburg Automatic Gas Water Heaters Good Place to Buy— G-O-O-D L-U-M-B-E-R C.
