OIL FIELD NOTES The present trend of oil production in California indicates that all past production records for California will be broken during the year 1922. A careful estimate made by the state oil and gas supervisor shows that the production for 1922 will probably reach close to 130,000,000 barrels. The total production for 1921 was 114,800,000 barrels. About half of the oil now being produced daily comes from the three new fields in southern—Huntington Beach, Long Beach and Santa Fe Springs. Practically all of the new drilling in California is concentrated in these fields, and as many wells are being reported ready to drill each week as were reported, on an average week, throughout the entire state during 1921. The big feature at Richfield was the completion and putting on production of the Richfield-Yorba Oil company’s well. This well was started with the boom at Richfield four years ago. A few months ago Neal Anderson, a prominent Richfield operator, took the well over on percentage basis of the production to complete. Anderson completed the well at 3460 feet and got a two hundred barrel producer. The Union Oil company's Chapman No. 1 failed to come back when drilled and cleaned out to the bottom. This well finished at 3045 feet three years ago has produced close to two million barrels of oil. The famous well is now pumping about fifty barrels of mud, oil and water into the THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION ACT Probably no piece of national legislation has been more misrepresented than the transportation act under which the railroads were returned to their private owners. A few agitators who find it to their interest to carry favor with shippers, have represented that the transportation act increased freight rates. A few radical labor leaders represented it as imposing injustice upon railroad employees. Thus there is studied effort to create a widespread public prejudice against the act, particularly among wage earners and shippers. There are a few outstanding and incontrovertible facts which every citizen should keep in mind. One of these is that during the twenty-six months of political management of the railroads under the Democratic administration, the expenses of operation were increased far in excess of the increase in revenues, with the result that the roads were operating at a loss of $40,000,000 per month or $480,000,000 per year. The Democratic administration took over the roads when they had in their treasuries money for operating expenses. It turned them back to their private owners with their treasuries empty. Instead of increasing freight rates, the Democratic railroad administration drew upon the federal treasury (or a part of the deficit and left the remainder of the deficit to be paid by the Republican administration. Notwithstanding the roads were being operated at a loss, the representatives of the employees filed applications for increases in wages six months before the roads were returned to their private owners, which increases, if granted, would have tendered, delicate missile In and through age-old rather than in and thus reforms in marriage relations be wrought out.

This well finished at 3045 feet three years ago has produced close to two million barrels of oil. The famous well is now pumping about fifty barrels of mud, oil and water into the sump. The La Habra Midway wild cat is taking on some of the symptoms of production. In drilling out the cement at 4334 8 1-2 the water was found not to be shut off, but a heavy gas pressure that forced the water out of the baller is making the well look the best it has ever looked. The well has been re-ecemented and will be ready for a test in about 10 days. Huntington Beach took a new and extended lease on life last week by bringing in three new producers that ran all the way from 500 to 1000 barrels daily. The largest producer for the beach field was brought in by the Standard Oil company on the Huntington A. division. No. A-19 finished drilling at 3950 feet and started off at 1100 barrels. The Standard Oil company's B-11 recently put on production at 4176 feet a 1100 barrel well has increased its output to 1400 barrels per day. The Shell Oil company added another producer to its Davenport lease by bringing in No. 5 a 450 barrel well at 3325 feet. At Ashton the Shel 1Oil company will trp put for deep production and has the well drilling now at 4590 feet. The Olig Crude Oil company has the pleasure of springing a real surprise Olig Crude No. 1 at 3470 feet is an 800 barrel well. Olig Crude No. 1 is something of a curiosity. At 3370 feet a string of 8 1-2 inch was set and cemented. On going in and drilling out the cement the drill veered to one side and drilled a second hole. At the time the second hole started drilling the original hole stood at 3545 feet. From the shallower hole at 3486 the big production is now coming. What the well would have done in the deeper hole will always be a matter of conjecture. Instead of increasing freight rates, the Democratic railroad administration drew upon the federal treasury (or a part of the deficit and left the remainder of the deficit to be paid by the Republican administration. Notwithstanding the roads were being operated at a loss, the representatives of the employees filed applications for increases in wages six months before the roads were returned to their private owners, which increases, if granted, would have imposed an increased expense upon the roads of $800,000,000 per annum. The Democratic administration took no action upon those applications, but after the roads were returned to their private owners, the railroad labor board, because of the increased cost of living, granted wage increases which added $650,000,000 per year to the expenses of the roads. This, together with the previous rate of deficit, means that the roads would be operated at a loss of $90,000,000 per month, or more than $1,000,000,000 per year. That is the reason why increases in freight rates were necessary, and an increase would have been necessary regardless of the transportation act. It has been repeatedly stated though falsely, that the transportation act guaranteed the roads an income which would enable them to pay dividends of 5 1-2 per cent. The fact is that the bill merely authorizes increases which will, on the average, amount to not to exceed 5 1-2 per cent on the actual value of the property. No dividends whatever are guaranteed, and the fact is that some of the large and important railroads of the country are paying no dividends whatever. If the transportation act had made no reference to increases in freight rates, the exigencies of the situation would have made it imperative for the interstate commerce commission to grant increases which would enable the roads to pay their operating expenses. Instead of imposing a burden upon shippers, the transportation act in reality protects the shippers by limiting the increases to such a rate as will pay the roads on the whole 6 1-2 per cent on the actual value of the property used in railroad operatin. It is an amazing thing that the Democratic party, which was chiefly responsible for conditions which brought the railroads to the verge of bankruptcy, should now charge the Republican party with responsibility for the freight rates which their misproducing steam heat to use for any desired says he can develop third cost of coal, "water gas" 'engine airplanes and water cans. This does not slur schemes for miraculous opment. Ordinarily chemical union of oxygen It is evident that they water, when freed, with the carbon in them readily than does them air, by its union with over, the hydrogen in the water bustible. Thus it must water burns up entitlethe oil, and so the water handled literally as lies the great possibility If this is true, it is important step in n since the invention o geine.

DEFIANCE The open defiance is of the miners' unlawful authority of the Huntington Beach has better prospects and looks better today than it has at any time in its history. The deep production that is yielding a high gravity oil puts an entirely new complexion on this field and gives it a future that seems enviable. The field is producing better than 42,000 barrels daily, there are ten or more wells that are making better than 1,000 barrels. For two years the Standard Oil company's Bolsa Chica No. 1 has held the record. The record has been broken by the Amalgamated Oil company's Miley-Keck No. 21. This big producer at 4200 feet is making 2300 barrels with ease. The Amalgamated Oil company's Fowler No. 4 is another well that predicts big things for the future of the Huntington Beach field. Fowler No. 4 at 4408 feet started off a 600 barrel well. This well in four weeks increased its production from 600 barrels to 1800 barrels per day. The Holly Oil company's No. 2 is another well that leads the operators to expect big things. The production last week on Holly No. 3 registered 1400 barrels daily. NOT FORGETTING 1908.

Let's see, was it in 1896 or 1900 that this same line appeared? tender, delicate mission of mating In and through age-old human nature, rather than in and through laws, may reforms in marriage and domestic relations be wrought out. BURNING WATER Jack London once wrote a weird story about a scientist who discovered a way to set water on fire, and the immense conflagration that followed. A New York inventor says he has actually perfected a process for burning water and expects to use it for heat and motive power, and has convinced scientific men that he is right. It is not water alone that he burns, according to newspaper reports, but water combined with oil, in the form of vapor. The mechanism is simple. There is a copper coil, an inlet water pipe and a tank of fuel oil. After a preliminary heating of the water coil by a kerosene flame, hot water from the coil is sprayed onto it, combined with fuel oil that flows into the mixing nozzle. The heat of the water in the coil rises to 900 degrees. At that temperature, the inventor explains, the water is separated into its elements, oxygen and hydrogen. These combined with the vaporized oil, make an intensely hot flame, with the expenditure o f very small amount of fuel, producing steam heat at high pressure to use for any desired purpose. He says he can develop power at onethird the cost of coal, and can use his "water gas" 'engine in automobiles, airplanes and water craft. This does not slud so absurd as schemes for miraculous power-development. Ordinarily combustion is the chemical union of oxygen with carbon. It is evident that the oxygen in the water, when freed, should combine with the carbon in the oil much more CAN'T LIVE ON AGITATION Soviet Russia would be a joke if her system of government didn't starve so many people to death.

He says he can develop power at one-third the cost of coal, and can use his "water gas" 'engine in automobiles, airplanes and water craft. This does not sound so absurd as schemes for miraculous power-development. Ordinarily combustion is the chemical union of oxygen with carbon. It is evident that the oxygen in the water, when freed, should combine with the carbon in the oil much more readily than does the oxygen of the air, by its union with nitrogen. Moreover, the hydrogen separated from the oxygen in the water is itself combustible. Thus it may be that the water burns up entirely, alone with the oil, and so the water itself may be handled literally as a fuel. Therein lies the great possibility of economy. If this is true, it is perhaps the most important step in material progress since the invention of the steam engine. LINCOLN'S FAILURES A Kansas paper prints this: When Abraham Lincoln was a young man he ran for the legislature of Illinois, and was badly swamped. He next entered business, failed, and spent seventeen years of his life paying up the debts of a worthless partner. He was in love with a beautiful young woman to whom he was engaged—then she died. Later, he married a woman who was a constant burden to him. Entering politics again, he ran for congress and was badly defeated. He then tried to get an appointment to the United States land office, but failed. He became a candidate for the United States senate and was badly defeated. In 1856 he became a candidate for the vice-presidency and was again defeated. In 1858 he was defeated by Douglas. One failure after another—bad failures—great set-backs. In the face of all this he eventually became one of the country's greatest men, if not the greatest.
