OIL FIELD NOTES The Union Oil company of California has scored its first real success on the Copeland property in the northwest side of Huntington Beach. Drilling for almost two years and bringing in two and three hundred barrel wells, the Union sprung a real surprise by completing Copeland No. 12 at 4410 feet and bringing in a 1150 barrel well. The gravity is running unusually high, the average for the week being 27. Copeland No. 12 gives the Union Oil company a line on the deep sand on the Copeland property and other deep wells will be drilled. Encouraged by the splendid showing of the Standard Oil company's Surf No. 2, the Union will drill a well on the Reed property, located in the immediate neighborhood of the new ocean front field. The Jamison Oil company has succeeded in getting Catalina View No. 1 back on production. The well re-drilled and cleaned out to 3800 feet is making 100 barrels. Hurst Oil syndicate No. 1, a well famous in the early history of the development of Huntington Beach, is to be redrilled and carried onto the deeper sands. Pantages-Huntington, another early history maker, is now on production making 400 barrels of 21 gravity oil. The Selby-Root-Hogue Oil company is making preparations to drill another deep well on the Curtis property. Curtis No. 1, recently completed at 4400 feet, is holding steadily at 125 barrels. makes it a record breaker even for Santa Fe Springs. Everything within a block of the gusher is dripping with oil. The name of the Edwards' Brothers' Oil syndicate, which succeeded the Lessors' Oil company, in control of the lands west of this city near Hansen Station, will be changed to the Crown Oil syndicate, if consent is given to an application which will be made to the state commissioner of corporations. Edwards Brothers have a lease on Signal Hill which they wish to complete and will require some 30 days to do so, and the syndicate will ask for an extension of time beyond the final date of October 1, when drilling will have to start. The change of name is not likely to be difficult and will cause no trouble. CALIFORNIA'S AUTUMN The frequent statement that California has an all-the-year-around climate needs either to be amended or explained. What is meant is that extremes are lacking, that the average temperature for January is not widely different from the average temperature for July, that the sun shines with great regularity for nearly 365 days of the year. Nevertheless, California has its seasons. Instead of winter snows there are occasional winter rains. Instead of summer thunder storms and cyclones there is a long period of unbroken pleasant weather. Naturally the vacation span is anticipated with keen enjoyment because of the assurance which it brings for outings uninterrupted by disturbance from wind or sky. In California one may live out-of-doors at any time. In this respect its "SPACIAL" I was mighty good young, Peert an' black-eight With fellows a-count nights. 'Spacially Jim.

Curtis No. 1, recently completed at 4400 feet, is holding steadily at 125 barrels. The Standard Oil company increased the Huntington Beach output with a 250 barrel well at Bolsa No. 3. The new well was completed at 2579 feet and is making a clean oil. The Standard started news wells during the past week on the Mills and Geisler properties. The Walker-Western Oil company is making preparations to bring in what looks like a thousand barrel well at Huntington Beach No. 2. Drilled to 3452 feet, some 225 feet of oil sand was pierced and the well looks very good. No. 1 has held steadily for almost a year at better than 225 barrels. That Santa Fe Springs has become the greatest field in the west for light oil production there can be no doubt. The daily output of this new and famous field is 40,000 barrels, and the gravity is running from 28 to as high as 32. Producers at Santa Fe will yield more on the investment than any field in the state. All doubts about Fairview have been dispelled. The Fairview Oil company, drilling at 4100 feet, ran through a hundred feet of dark brown shale that showed oil enough to warrant a commercial producer without further drilling. At Fullerton the Dolke-Thomas Oil syndicate has resumed operations and will drill its own well. The Federal Drilling company after making three attempts to get a hole down has relinquished its contract and the Dolke-Thomas syndicate goes ahead under its own management. The well is located south of the Union Oil company's Hole lease and has attracted more attention perhaps than any other wildcat well located in southern California. The National Security Oil company, a subsidiary of the Beatty Oil company, has its seasons. Instead of winter snows there are occasional winter rains. Instead of summer thunder storms and cyclones there is a long period of unbroken pleasant weather. Naturally the vacation span is anticipated with keen enjoyment because of the assurance which it brings for outings uninterrupted by disturbance from wind or sky. In California one may live out-of-doors at any time. In this respect its climate is of the year around variety. Such remarks, however, must always be qualified by the reminder that California is a large state, that it embraces within its borders almost every variety of climate, that one may find mountains perpetually white-capped and valleys where the summer sun beats with unrelenting ferocity. The real California, however, where ninety-five per cent of its population lives, offers a delightful schedule or happy out-door days, with sufficient change to prevent monotony. The California which the tourist knows best is not the California which the Californian likes best. This may be said without fear of violent challenge. The tourist usually sees the Pacific coast from November or December to April or May. The contrast with the frozen-in months of the area east of the Rockies is so great that his delight may be well understood. He is satisfied that he has received his money's worth. This point will not be disputed by his western friends; but to them the most enjoyable portion of the year is the autumn, with its merging of summer sun and winter cloud, its harvests of fruits and nuts, its promise of refreshing showens, its freedom from the dread of ice blast, its invigorating breezes laden with the fragrance of orchard and garden, its opportunity, now that the year's work is approaching a close, to conform one's pace to the thought of relaxation and recreation under circumstances and in an environment that inspires. The tourist who would round out his acquaintance with the Golden State must spend a full twelve months in this land of enchantment. Then, and perhaps not until then, will he admit that spring is better than winter, that summer is better than spring, and that autumn is best of all the seasons on the California calendar. SELL BONDS TO PAY BONDS The National Security Oil company, a subsidiary of the Beatty Oil company, is drilling at 4225 feet and has not found any very encouraging showings of oil. The well is located near the Orange county park and should make good a lot of new territory will opened up. Buena Park is still in the doubtful column. The Standard Oil company's Mitchell No. 1 has arrived at 4600 feet without getting any oil. The condition of the hole is excellent and it is the intention of the Standard to proceed with a deep test hole. Oil field operations reported the week ending September 9, showing 22 new wells started compared with 29 the previous week. Total new wells this year 955, compared with 1005 to same date last year. Tests for water shut-off 37, compared with 31 previous week. Yearly total to date 1180; total to same date last year 1103. Deepening or redrilling jobs 6, compared with 10 preceding week. Total to date this year 565; total to same date last year 533. Abandonments 2, compared with 6 preceding week. Total to date this year 194; total to same date last year 151. The Whittler Community gusher, brought in early last week, after sanding up was swabbed out, and came back stronger than ever. The estimated flow is 5000 barrels, which SELL BONDS TO PAY BONDS That the water and power constitutional amendment resembles the exploded plans of the seventeenth century in financing by the issuing of bonds to pay off other bonds, was the essence of remarks made by W. H. Archdeacon, prominent resident of Pasadena, in discussing the measure. He said, in part, "The act provides for the issuance of $500,000,000 in bonds and the spending of its proceeds by a board, of which one man is the dominating executive. It resurrects from the seventeenth century the exploded plan of financing undertakings by issuing bonds to pay off other bonds. "Section seven of the bill obviously makes the blue vault of Heaven the limit to which water and power bonds may be pyramided. After providing for issuing $500,000,000 in bonds and spending the proceeds for buying, condemning and constructing water and electric properties and taking over practically any other private properties desired, the measure evidently contemplates the speedy expenditure of the first half billion and arranges for more bonds and yet more bonds. Operations and maintenance of water and power properties taken over by the act may also be sustained by pyramiding bond issues. How is the interest to be paid, and the sinking fund provided on these pyramided bonds? By the same old system—taxation." Suppose that farmer you are a facturer, or engaged cupation that requires help—would you no man quit your empire go on about his own business alone fused to do that, w that you were just protection to the government with your taxes. This is not the first managers alone. Timidize workers can intimidate their ployment. If a man to work with protection on the right to have protect the man who refuses railroad can prevent working on a railroad refuse to work on tories can prevent taking the jobs they. We are not settling lems alone—we mental principles people, for these people.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO? "Put yourself in his place," is a pretty good rule to follow in judging what some other man ought to do. If for instance, the strike troubles which the railroad managers are now suffering were confronting you in your business, what would you do? Suppose that you had given the men a farmer, employing half a dozen men to plant cultivate and harvest crops, milk cows, haul products to town, etc. In running your farm you have naturally built up a system of seniority—the men who have been with you OLD-FASHIONED WOMAN IS GIVEN RECOGNITION Bureau of Home Economics Created to Look After Her Interests The woman in the kitchen and elsewhere in the household is now officially recognized by the administration. This does not refer solely or even primarily to "hired help." It refers to housewives who run their own homes in the good old-fashioned way. This official recognition comes through the department of agriculture in the form of the creation of the bureau of home economics. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace announces this not to be a subordinate bureau, but is to be placed on an equality with all other bureaus of the department and will have at the head of it a woman who not only understands, first-hand, everything about housekeeping, but who is also possessed of executive ability-and a vision sufficiently broad and sympathetic to make the bureau most helpful to all housewives of the country. The government has a woman's bureau in connection with the labor department which handles the problems of the woman who works outside her home—the woman in industry—the woman in the mills and laundries and shops and stores. The proposed new bureau of home economics which has just been announced by Secretary Wallace intends to be quite as comprehensive in looking after women who work in their homes as the woman's bureau in connection with the labor department is in looking after women who work outside their homes for a daily wage. In the opinion of the department of agriculture there is more need among women of the country for its proposed bureau than for any other activity which the government could enter in rich woman who has her shoe heels set with diamonds, and their prodigal son who spends his substance on the leeches that infest the land of riotous living—these are not fools because they are rich. They would have been fools in any case. The poor man who earns $50 for which he has no immediate pressing need, and devotes it to foolishness, is just as silly as the newly-arrived millionaire who splurges conspicuously that he may be talked of or gaped it. A Chicago young man joined a robbery party and obtained $45,000 in cash as his share of the loot. The others were apprehended and imprisoned, but he made his escape, carrying a young woman with him. He bought airships, automobiles and other spectacular luxuries, besides furbells for his sweetheart. Soon his money was gone, and now he is in jail, sans liberty, sans cash, sans sweetheart, sans everything.

Notice of Sale of Real Estate Under Decree of Partition. Suppose that you had given the men a farmer, employing half a dozen men to plant cultivate and harvest crops, milk cows, haul products to town, etc. In running your farm you have naturally built up a system of seniority—the men who have been with you longest are accorded the best jobs, and are longest retained if you cut down your force. Now, if two-thirds of your men suddenly quit and announce that they will never come back unless you agree to their terms, would you consider that they had retained seniority or any other rights on your farm? Suppose that you had give the men who quit the privilege of returning within a specified time, with seniority rights restored, and they still refused, whereupon you hired other men to take their places and save your crops, promising the new men that the employment would be permanent, would you feel that you had a right to discharge those new men in order to give their places to the old employees who had quit? Suppose further, that the men who quit your employment did not go away, but hung around the gate, trying by persuasion, by vituperation, by intimidation, by violence to prevent other men from engaging to help harvest yours crops; would you feel that you were being treated fairly? Wouldn't you feel that you had a right to go to the county seat and get an order from the court forbidding those former employees to hang around your premises and interfere with your work? If your new hired men and those who refused to quit were afraid to go out in the field because of threats and overt acts of former workmen, would you not feel that you had a right to the protection of the officers of the law in carrying on your lawful occupation in a lawful manner? Suppose that instead of being a farmer you are a merchant, a manufacturer, or engaged in any other occupation that requires the hiring of help—would you not feel that when a man quit your employment he should go on about his own business and let your business alone, and, if he refused to do that, wouldn't you feel that you were justified in looking for protection to the government you support with your taxes? In the opinion of the department of agriculture there is more need among women of the country for its proposed bureau than for any other activity which the government could enter. In the first place, there are more housewives than there are women in industries and stores. In the second place, the activities and economies of housekeeping are more in need of some centralized aid and direction than activities of women who are employed in industry, because industry is organized of itself, while the housework has never been organized. Work in behalf of women has grown steadily in the department of agriculture. Some time ago what was called for lack of a better name, the office of home economics, was created as a part of the agricultural extension work. In this home economics work attention was centered upon the studies of foods and their preparation, labor saving devices for the household, studies of dressmaking, etc. None of this work will be abandoned. It will be continued and made more intensive under the proposed new bureau of home economics. In addition to these activities, however, the new bureau will make a specialty of all problems which affect the housewife. Although this bureau is to be identified with the department of agriculture. Secretary Wallace announces that it is not to be used exclusively for women on the farms. It is created quite a smuch for the help of housewives in cities. One of its chief functions will be the assisting of city women in their marketing and in practicing other economies within their household. Owing to the fact that such a large proportion of housewives in the city must depend upon their own resources, ingenuity and economic instinct to make the pay envelope go round, it is believed that this newly created bureau will eventually prove of more interest and of more benefit to the city woman than to the country woman. Much of the high cost of living of which city housewives complain is due to the lack of systematic information regarding selection of foods, how best to buy them and how best to prepare them. This net results of The Hague conference is that the powers decided not to act as a "fence" for Russian stolen goods. NOTICE In the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California. J. L.

This is not the fight of the railroad managers alone. If strikers can intimidate workers on the railroads they can intimidate them in any other employment. If a man has not a right to work with protection of the government on the railroads, he has no right to have protection anywhere. If the man who refuses to work on a railroad can prevent other men from working on a railroad, then men who refuse to work on farms or in factories can prevent other men from taking the jobs they refuse. We are not settling railroad problems alone—we are settling fundamental principles in government of the people, for the people and by the people. This is a fight in which all the friends of law and order are drawn up on one side and all its enemies on the other. There may be some shirkers in the conflict, but the man who lets some one else do his fighting for him will have little to be proud of when the victory has been won. NO DEMOCRATIC PROSPETCS So long as the Republican party shows itself responsive to the will of the rank and file of its voters as it has done in these primary struggles, just so long will a return of the Democratic party to power be postponed. A FOOL'S A FOOL There is nothing in the world that will make a fool of a man quicker and more effectually than possession of more money than he knows what to do with, particularly in the case of a man whose acquisition of wealth has been very rapid. In such a case a millstone tied to his neck and thrown into the sea prior to the possession of undue wealth would have mercy itself," says the Higgins, Tex., News. We beg to differ. It isn't the money that makes a fool of the man who gets it. He was a fool before he got it, but was not in a position to disclose his folly so publicly. The rich man who gives monkey dinners, the M.
