OIL FIELD NOTES Oil field operations reported the week ending March 10, show 35 new wells started, as compared with 24 during the previous week. The total new wells this year is 304, as compared with 235 the same date last year. Tests for water shut-off this week numbered 44, as compared with 43 during the previous week. Yearly total to date 357; total to same date last year 272. Deepening or redrilling jobs this week numbered 20, as compared with 14 during the preceding week. Total to date this year 156; total to same date last year 149. Abandonments this week numbered 8, as compared with 8 during the preceding week. Total to date this year 45; total to same date last year 61. Four companies will start test drilling in the Cypress district as soon as derrick material can be placed on the ground, while a number of other companies and individuals are seeking leases, according to reports. Indicative of the excitement caused by the prospect for early development, tests is the rapidly mounting realty values. Steve Luther fifteen days ago bought ten acres on Lincoln boulevard, west of Moody road for $6000, paying $1600 down. According to reports, he sold the west five acres for $5000 cash to a Placentia man, who will erect a home and sit tight, awaiting developments. The fourth test well for which an early start is planned, according to reports, will be backed by a multi-millionaire, who some time ago purchased the ten-acre Blendlin place and leased the ten-acre Holder and 20-acre Ritter place. He is said to have ordered material for a rig. Oil company would drill a well to at least 6000 feet. A number of deep wells have been drilled at Richfield, but it seems that operators are not satisfied with results obtained and continue to believe that the field has not been given a real deep test well. The Standard Oil company's Kraemer 1-15A has passed the 5250 foot mark and continues to find little encouragement. The Union Oil company's deep test well on the Graham-Loftus lease, No. 53, went to 3920 feet, and has had a lot of trouble with the water. It is thought that the Union Oil company's test well will make a producer if a water job can be accomplished. Repeated efforts to shut off water have failed. It is understood that considerable leasing has been done at Richfield on the strength of the showings of the Union Oil comopany's Graham-Loftus test well. At Huntington Beach the Chell Oil company is about to stage a new producer that will break all existing records for deep production. The well is located on the Ashton property, a property that has already become famous for its deep wells. Shell Ashton No. 3 went to 5035 feet. High pressure connections are being installed and preparations are about completed for bringing in something different in the way of deep production. With a string of 8 1-2 inch pipe set at 4380 and 630 feet of oil bearing sand to draw from the deep Shell well can be expected to become one of the greatest oil producers Huntington Beach has yet experienced. William Kammerer continues to make a great record for himself at Huntington Beach. He has just completed his third big well since the opening of the year for the Holly Oil company and its subsidiary, the Holly Development company.

"BACKWASH" During the war Santa Fe Springs developments seem to establish the fact that the north line of the field is fixed as far as production is concerned. The famous north line test well, the Standard Oil company’s Brownrigg-Keller, has passed to 5400 foot mark and found no oil showings. The Shell Oil company’s Slayden No. 1, is now 5000 feet and has found nothing particularly encouraging. The Amalgamated Oil company had some very promising looking showings in the Benton well from 3000 to 3500 feet at times the well looked almost good enough to try out. However, as drilling continued, the showing disappeared. The Santa Fe Springs field mystery well, the Machris Bros.’ Bandini Norswing, has been bailing for a couple of days, but has not gotten underway for a production test. The supposed depth of the well is 5200 feet, and it is understood pipe was set at 4755 feet or thereabouts. Information on the well for several months has been a closed book. It appears that the well at best will make onl ya small producer. McIntyre Brothers have resumed development work at Santa Fe Springs and announce that it is their intention to get their share of the deep sand Meyer production. Rigs are up for Nos. 2 and 3, and it is the plan to drill and drill No. 1, now a 40' barrel well, into the lower zone soon. Petroleum Midway success at Santa Fe Springs continues on the basis of 8000 barrel wells. The company’s Wattern 3-1, completed at 4607 feet, was the sensation of the field last week, at 8000 barrels daily. The big well is flowing through a one inch aperture and is under a pressure of 740 pounds. The big Baldwan producer is now flowing consistently at 6000 barrels. Fox No. 1, the last of the trio, is making 5200 barrels. William Kammerer continues to make a great record for himself at Huntington Beach. He has just completed his third big well since the opening of the year for the Holly Oil company and its subsidiary, the Holly Development company. Holly Development company’s Turloy 1-B, formerly owned by the Argonaut Oil company completed at 4500 feet, came in a 3500 barrel producer. MacMahon, the man who took over the properties of the old Tex-Cal Oil company, is about to bring in a big producer. Following the trend of deep development at Huntington Beach the Tex-Cal No. 1-B well, was put down to 4110 feet and there is every reason to believe that a 3000 barrel producer will be the result. Occasionally a deep well at Huntington Beach does not make big production. The Petroleum Midway has just completed Towers No. 3 at 4606 feet and the well started off at 100 barrels daily. The production, however, is 24 gravity. Petroleum Midway Barker No. 1, completed a week ago at 4321 feet, has increased its production from a 1000 to 1200 barrels. Savage No. 1 has reversed its form somewhat. The well came in a 4000 barrel producer and dropped to 1200. Columbia 2-1, now drilling at 4550 feet, is scheduled for the Petroleum Midway’s next big producer. The Petroleum Midway continues to take a strong lead in the development of Huntington Beach and now has one of the biggest productions in the field. Standard Oil company success at Huntington Beach last week included among other things a 1600 barrel well at Huntington A-12. The well is a deep sand producer at 4442 feet and is making 28 gravity clean oil. F-2 at 5010 feet will be ready in a few days for a production test. Pacific 1-A is now at 4450 feet. Surf 1-A is at 4400 feet and Farnsworth 1 at 4860 feet. These deep test wells are all making a good account for themselves and will open up a lot of new territory in the very near future. The Union Oil company completed at 4435 feet a 200 barrel producer on sand to draw from the deep Shell well can be expected to become one of the greatest oil producers Huntington Beach has yet experienced. During the warished fond anticipation and commute to rise promptly to new spirit of self rationation, they felt, America was going faults and errors. But since the cutting down from its perience, these seas been pained to dislict did not change old faults and error addition a lot of nor created by the dislout of the war.

The company's Wattern 3-1, completed at 4607 feet, was the sensation of the field last week, at 8000 barrels daily. The big well is flowing through a one inch aperture and is under a pressure of 740 pounds. The big Baldwan producer is now flowing consistently at 6000 barrels. Fox No. 1, the last of the trio, is making 5200 barrels. E. A. Parkford staged a come back when he redrilled the Santa Fe Springs Syndicate No. 1, to 4500 feet, and brought in a 5400 barrel well. Producing from the Meyer sand the well is making 34.5 gravity oil. Tom Donnelly has a producer worthy of his efforts on the Oil and Land syndicate's No. 1 property. At 3700 feet in Bell sand, the well failed to make much of a showing. Drilled to 4100 feet the well started off with an initial flow of 3000 barrels daily, and bids fair to hold up. Union Oil company developments on the Bell lease continues to be successful. At Bell No. 9, a 3000 barrel producer was brought in at a depth of 4095 feet. The well completed on top of the Meyer sand, has demonstrated the fact of the non-existence of water between the Bell and the Meyer sands. Bell No. 1, the discovery well of the field, is off production for the first time for over a year. Sand came in and plugged the hole, stopping the flow. The well is being washed out and will be back at its old 2800 barrel rate in a few days. That Richfield is to be given a conclusive deep test well became known when it was learned that the Wonder is a deep sand producer at 4442 feet and is making 28 gravity clean oil. F-2 at 5010 feet will be ready in a few days for a production test. Pacific 1-A is now at 4450 feet. Surf 1-A is at 4400 feet and Farnsworth 1 at 4860 feet. These deep test wells are all making a good account for themselves and will open up a lot of new territory in the very near future. The Union Oil company completed at 4425 feet, a 200 barrel producer on the Reed property. The Reed well is located near the Surf and Newland wells and was expected to make a much better showing. That the Long Beach field is capable of maintaining an 8000-barrel well has been demonstrated by the Petroleum Midway company. Ryder No. 1, the well that showered the hill a few weeks ago and threatened to submerge the entire field in oil, has settled down to a regular daily production of 8000 barrels. The well's average for the past week ran 8142 barrels and the gravity of the production continues high, 28. On the Brown property the Petroleum Midway has just landed a string of 61-4 oil string at 4227 feet and is making preparations to bring in another big producer. The success of the Petroleum Midway at Long Beach has been nothing short of wonderful. Getting into the field at a time when it looked as though the best properties had been picked, the company's engineers selected properties that have proven above the average on which a number of the field's best wells have been completed. One reason why so many men brag about the cars they own is because it hurts a man's vanity to permit anybody to know he could get "stung." Governor Richard ment that he does serve between the courts in capital portant than his roath of office which statement. The governor he sworn to the laws that he law against murder clementy without He points out that fire to change the total punishment, that through the initiation."

RECTION OF THE SUN Old Sol may scorch and smite us in summer. But he seems the world's best friend, in these days of late winter when he rises earlier each morn, bringing a presage of longer daylight, renewed fertility, and out door pastimes. The short days of winter have never been popular. Yet this curtain of early dark serves its purpose, and shuts out distractions that turn one from self improvement and from one's daily tasks. In winter people find time to read their newspapers more thoughtfully, to ponder over good books, to enjoy friendly intimacies. The cool weather stimulates energy, and working habits are less interrupted by outings and vacations. But the returning sun brings a thrill of anilcipation. Folks who fret and grumble under the July sun, are yet captivated by the fascinations of the seed catalogue which they study under the February lamp. The women folk are excited by the spring fashions, and plan new and fetching costumes. It is not surprising that primitive peoples worshipped the sun. His departure in autumn seemed the defeat of life. His return in spring was the victory of light and fertility. There is something majestic in this procession of seasons. It gives one confidence in the universe, makes one feel that seed time and harvest, day and night, summer and winter, shall not fall, but each shall perform its loving service for the welfare of humanity. "BACKWASH" OF THE WAR During the war period people cherish. Official willingness to set that certain strip of land twenty (20) aside the law, to suspend its operations in a given instance if expediency suggests it, is largely responsible for the similar action of individuals or groups of individuals, and the general public indifference to the situation. The executive who picks and chooses among the statutes those he means to ignore gives influential warrant to the private citizen who, with justice, claims an equal privilege.

ANAHEIM, UNION WATER CO., L. J. SHERIDAN, Secretary. 3-14t "BACKWASH" OF THE WAR During the war period people cherished fond anticipations that our national and community life was going to rise promptly to a higher level. A new spirit of self sacrifice and co-operation, they felt, had been drawn out. America was going to conquer its old faults and errors. But since the country has been settling down from its disturbing war experience, these sanguine folks have been pained to discover that that conflict did not change human nature. The old faults and errors are still here. In addition a lot of new ones seem to be created by the difficulties that grew out of the war. High prices and taxes and uncertainties of business and employment made living conditions for a time harder for most people. There was a general scramble for advantages, everyone for himself, and the devil getting the hindmost. Some people who had been cherishing illusions rushed to the opposite extreme, and concluded that the world was in a state of moral collapse. They see signs of decadence everywhere. They find business rotten, the young people rough and loose, politics degraded, etc. Time will show the folly of these unhappy views. There is something irrepressible in human hope and ambition: When it meets difficulties it may be baffled for the time. But before long it sees ways to surmount them. The American people learned certain lessons from their fiery experience of battle. They hate war as never before. They are giving in charity as never before. They take hold in community work as never before. And the foolishness of industrial conflict is being revealed to them. Thus forces are shaping that will lift the country to a higher level, and America will never return to the inertia and self-satisfaction of the days of 1917.

A REFRESHING REVIEW Governor Richardsons' announcement that he does not propose to intervene between the convicted and the courts in capital cases is less important than his reaffirmation of his oath of office which accompanies the statement. The governor emphasizes that he is sworn to uphold and enforce the laws that he cannot nullify the law against murder through executive clemency without breaking his oath. He points out that "if the people desire to change the law regarding capital punishment, they can do so either through the initiative or by legislation." If the governor of California holds faithfully to that logical interpretation of his obligations throughout his incumbency he will have fashioned something entirely new in executives. His attitude is refreshing, yet it is elementary and simple. The governor's business is to enforce the laws as he finds them when he is entrusted with the symbol of executive authority. It is not his province to suspend the law because he fails to agree with it. His only lawful course is to enforce an existing law, and to labor for its repeal if he feels that should be done. Most of American troubles arise through official deviation from the plain course Governor Richardson has marked out for himself in this notice. NOTICE TO CREDITORS Estate of William Delissen.
