VOLUME LII STANDARD DRILL EATING WAY DOWNWARD MAKING GOOD PROGRESS AND ENCOUNTERING NO DIFFICULTIES SO FAR Formation in Wagner Test Well Said to Be Identical With That on the Kraemer Leases—Everybody Optimistic Over the Prospect—Companies Bidding High for Leases—Joe Fiscus Gives Option on His Place at $300 Per Acre, it is Reported. Although it is impossible to state with accuracy at the beginning of an oil well what will be found at the bottom of the four thousand foot hole, drillers of the Standard test well on the Wagner lease, east of town, are optimistic, and prophesy a flowing well. The drill is steadily pounding, easing its way into the bowels of the earth, and the log shows the formation so far exactly parallel to that of the big wells on the Kraemer lease to the northeast. Whether this condition will hold until the oil sand is reached is a sent its objections at an early meeting of the trustees in an effort to prevent the passage of an ordinance authorizing the project in question. ANAHEIM ATHLETES SEEK FAME ABROAD Several Preparing to Attend College Coming Year With the approach of the school season many of the athletes who have brought fame to the Anaheim union high school on the gridiron, the basketball court, the baseball diamond and the cinder path, are making plans to win added laurels in the higher institutions of learning (and other things, in the west. Al Clayes and Bill Cook, both heroes of the rectangular field and diamond, will enter the University of Arizona at Tucson. These boys, stars on Stanford's freshman eleven last fall, were given the "royal razzoo" with several hundred other delinquent students at the end of the first semester. Ed Brown, a high school teammate, will accompany them to the haunt of the Aztec. Alfred Hile, center and captain of last years' eleven, and George Easton, basketball whiz and crack centerfielder on Anaheim Hi nine, will become Oregon Aggies at the opening of the fall term. Mariowe Janss, last years' athletic manager and stellar basketball and baseball player, will enter with accuracy at the beginning of an oil well what will be found at the bottom of the four thousand foot hole, drillers of the Standard test well on the Wagner lease, east of town, are optimistic, and prophesy a flowing well. The drill is steadily pounding, easing its way into the bowels of the earth, and the log shows the formation so far exactly parallel to that of the big wells on the Kraemer lease to the northeast. Whether this condition will hold until the oil sand is reached is a question no man can answer, but the beginning is so flattering that the operators are expecting a prosperous ending. No man competent to judge is pessimistic enough to predict that the well will be a duster. The most discouraging prophesy was made by an old timer who gives it as his opinion that oil in abundance will be found, but it will be so heavy that it cannot flow, consequently the well will not be a gusher. In the meantime the drill is making satisfactory speed and the men operating it are confident they will find what they are going after at the bottom. There is still a scramble for leases to the east and south of the city. A great deal of the ranch property is now under lease to the various big companies, and it is reported that big figures have been paid in some instance. It is reported that Joseph Fiscus signed an option on his sixty-acre ranch adjoining the city limits on the south. Should a lease be executed he is to receive $300 an acre cash bonus and $5 per acre a month. This is a remarkable figure considering that the field has not yet been proven, and indicates that oil experts have unbounded faith in the future of the Anaheim field. Everybody is keeping an eye on the Standard's operations near the city dump. Hundreds of people visit the place daily and watch the drill slawly pounding its way downward to the fabulous wealth that it is believed lies beneath us. All the spectators are open timistic and confidently believe that in the course of time the hole will be spouting black diamonds. Should any fan in the crowd be grouchy enough to predict a dry hole the chances are he would be mobbed. DON'T WANT OIL SHIP AT NEWPORT HARBOR Citizens of That Town Form a Protective League Alfred Hile, center and captain of last years' eleven, and George Easton, basketball whiz and crack centerfielder on Anaheim Hi nine, will become Oregon Aggies at the opening of the fall term. Marlowe Janse, last year's athletic manager and stellar basketball and baseball player, will enter the University of Southern California. Walter Gutosby, left guard on last year's eleven; Gerald Fergus, half-back; Marvin Ross, fullback; and Howard Mulvey, speedy end, have not been overlooked by the university scouts, but so far they have not picked their schools. FARM CENTERS AT FAIR "It seems that all of the Orange county farm centers will be represented at the coming county fair." was the report of John Ragan after a trip through the northern part of the county. Mr. Ragan was accompanied on the pilgrimage by A. M. Stanley, secretary-manager of the farm bureau, and they visited several of the committee handling the exhibits for the centers in that section. They met with splendid enthusiasm, the committees in nearly every instance having already laid plans for the big event. Anaheim center has placed their faith in a committee headed by Earl Dutton, who has been a successful exhibitor at many fairs, and therefore Anaheim will undoubtedly be an aggressive competitor for first prize in their class. L. A. Hampton, president of the Fullerton farm center, is co-operating with a committee from the Fullerton chamber of commerce, and that section will present a solid community front. This will place this wealthy section in a very strong competitive position for the sweepstake honors. Mr. Hampton expressed his confidence that Fullerton would do everything possible to support the fair as a project of the county as a whole. La Habra did not "show" last year, but Ray F. Frantz will put them in the band wagon this year. The support of both the La Habra chamber of commerce and Kiwanis club will be enlisted in the endeavor, and with such collective effort many blue ribbons will decorate homes of the southern metropolis.

The league points out that the city trustees some time ago entered into an agreement with Thomas W. Simmons, of San Francisco, giving him a lease for loading tank steamers at the pier, and that the board is to receive only $110 for this privilege during a period of five years. Attention is called, by the league, to the fact that the peak of production in the Huntington Beach field has been passed, and that such pipe-line and loading facilities as are contemplated in Newport Beach to assist in handling the Huntington Beach situation are not needed. It is further asserted by the league that the loading of oil at the pier will result in a large amount of free oil washing upon the beach and floating into Newport bay, a thing which is regarded by some of the citizens of the community as exceedingly objectionable. The league is planning to pre- BOXING CLUB STIRS ORANGE COMMUNITY F. L. Alnsworth, heading a committee representing the Orange Community Men's Bible class, protested to the Orange city council the building of proposed boxing arena on the outskirts of the city. Citizens residing in the immediate vicinity of the club are reported to be thoroughly aroused over the "fight plant." Some, it was learned, favor annexing to Orange if the city council would assure them that the city would pass an ordinance barring the arena. The city council informed the protestants that inasmuch as the boxing club, which is known as the Orange County Athletic club, is located beyond the city limits, the matter is not within its jurisdiction and therefore any action to prevent the boxing shows must come from the proper yowners in that vicinity. AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, September 6, 1923 MIDDLEMEN TAKE PROFITS FROM GROWERS LOW PRICES OF CITRUS FRUIT DUE TO ORGANIZATION IN THE EAST Buyers Collaborate and Fix a Price Which the Shipper Must Accept or Dump His Fruit—California Growers Are at the Mercy of These Sharks on Many of Their Shipments—Only Remedy is Co-operation and a System That Will Give Producers Control of the Market. A problem of far reaching importance to orange growers is the handling and disposition of their fruit after it leaves their hands, according to a well known grower the middleman, or broker, who buys the oranges after arriving at their destination in the various cities to where the fruit has been shipped, are well organized. They operate collectively for their own financial interests; in other words, one will not pay any BRUNWORTH'S NEW IDEA John Brunworth has one of the best orange groves in the state on his tract of land at East Center and East streets. The soil is of the right formation, being the same to a depth of 10 to 15 feet. Mr. Brunworth conceived a new idea when the East street ditch was piped a few years ago. He had all the white sand carried over on his land and made a covering out of it as far as is would go. It serves a double purpose, because the surface is easily worked besides it better holds the moisture. rM. Brunworth is a practical orange grower and says an orchard to be prolific must have a good bootom soil, something heavy to properly feed the tree. He believes the poorer grades of fruit come from orchards in soil that is too light. Fertilization in such cases helps, but for lasting results the soil must of necessity be endowed by nature for its proper quality. The raising of oranges, says Mr. Brunworth, is a science and a man can learn something every day. Florida's acreage is said to equal California's almost which is bound some years to cause an overproduction. For this reason growers must raise the very best fruit if they are to hold the market. He believes the utmost care must be used to not overstock the markets, and the routing of fruit to the best points east is of paramount importance. Mr. Brunworth does not ARE REGISTERING FOR OPENING OF SCHOOL SIX HUNDRED STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED IN THE HIGH SCHOOL THIS YEAR Total Enrolment in All the Schools of the City Will Probably Reach Two Thousand—Seniors in High School Registered Tuesday, Juniors Yesterday, Sophomores Today and Freshmen Will Sign Up Tomorrow—Forty Teachers Required to Conduct the High School This Term. Eighteen thousand pupils and students of the Orange county schools are registering this week and preparing to take up their studies when the term opens on September 11. This is a heavy increase over the registration last year, every city in the county showing an increase. It is expected by Principal J. A. Clayes, of the high school, and Superintendent C. C. Smith, of the grammar school that the enrollment in Ana- A problem of far reaching importance to orange growers is the handling and disposition of their fruit after it leaves their hands. According to a well known grower the middleman, or broker, who buys the oranges after arriving at their destination in the various cities to where the fruit has been shipped, are well organized. They operate collectively for their own financial interests; in other words, one will not pay any more for fruit than the other. It has been learned that these brokers agree on a certain price, at certain periods during the shipping season, and that figure is what is offered. It is a case of take it, or leave it. Oranges are perishable, and many times the growers are at the mercy of these rapacious brokers. And it has been learned also that when these same men sell the fruit to retailers in the eastern cities they pursue the same tactics—and always keep the price as high as possible. Oranges in many eastern cities during the past few months sold for 85 cents a dozen. This averages from $8 to $9 a box, according to size. The growers here have been getting not a third of that. The middlemen have co-operated—they are all for one, and one for all. These conditions will have to be changed. The orange growers are not getting a square deal. Their goods are virtually being confiscated. It will need a wise head to checkmate these brokers. In the case of the walnut growers, they have a decided advantage, because they demand and receive their price for their crops before the nuts are shipped. This cannot be done with oranges, on account of the uncertainty of the condition of the fruit at the eastern markets upon arrival. One bad feature of shipping oranges now lies in glutting of a market. Where several organizations ship fruit to the same market at the same time, a slump is invariably the result. Were all the fruit routed through one central organization a better condition for its disposal would prevail. But even so, the scheming brokers would be a factor to contend with. The well known orange grower referred to says a few years ago there was a wise man who supervised these matters, but he has passed on. Eighty per cent of the citrus fruit is handled by the associations, the remaining 20 per cent is shipped by independent merchants. Mrs. Allis's fruit shipment is a science and a man can learn something every day. Florida's acreage is said to equal California's almost which is bound some years to cause an overproduction. For this reason growers must raise the very best fruit if they are to hold the market. He believes the utmost care must be used to not overstock the markets, and the routing of fruit to the best points east is of paramount importance. Mr. Brunworth does not lie to see speculation in orange orchards, for in many cases the trees are neglected then, and poor fruit will upset prices, which in turn injures the man who strives hard to get the best results out of his orchard. FAILED TO KILL WIFE, TRIED TO KILL SELF After failing in an attempt to kill his wife, from whom he was estranged, Frank Kiser, employee of the United States Long Distance Telephone company, and said to be a pardoned murderer, Friday slashed his throat with ar azor in an attempt to end his own life. He is at the county hospital in a serious condition. The near tragedy occurred at Mrs. Kiser's home. For the first time since their separation several months ago, Kiser entaged her home, Mrs. Kiser said, and said he wanted her to help straighten out his books. When Mrs. Kiser returned to the house from an errand, according to her story to the police, Kiser raised a revolver and fired. Mrs. Kiser dodged and run into the kitchen, where another shot was fired without effect, she declared. The woman then broke through a door into the room of J. L. Wade, a roomer, and another shot was fired as Wade wrestled the gun from Kiser. Mrs. Kiser ran from the house and Wade followed. Wade said Kiser the noped fire with another weapon. Pisser attempted to leave the place, but backed his auto into an orange tree in the yard. Then, apparently crazed, he returned to the house and slashed his throat. Kiser is a drunkard, according to his wife, and his cruelty led her to file suit for divorce, which was dropped after a property settlement. She declared that Kiser was intoxicated, and that he was insanely jealous of her. Eighteen thousand pupils and students of the Orange county schools are registering this week and preparing to take up their studies when the term opens on September 11. This is a heavy increase over the registration last year, every city in the county showing an increase. It is expected by Principal J. A. Clayes, of the high school, and Superintendent C. C. Smith, of the grammar schools, that the enrollment in Anaheim will pass two thousand this year. Although more rooms have been added by the completion of the high school annex and the junior high school building on the Fremont grounds, it is expected that all rooms will be taxed to their full capacity before the term ends. Registration for the high school is in progress this week, and it is believed that more than 600 students will enroll. From one to five o'clock Tuesday the office was open for registration of seniors. Yesterday the juniors enrolled today is for the sophomores and tomorrow freshmen will be listed. The faculty this year consists of forty teachers. Following is the list: Physical education, oys—A. E. Fitz morris and L. E. Sutherland; girls, Irene Jacques and Mrs. Margaret Hesslink. Art—Mrs. Archie Swan and Miss Madeline Conover. Commercial—D. F. Lehmer, Miss Elizabeth Johnson and Mrs. A. Pearl Edwards. Domestic science—Misses Martena Neal, Lucille Perry and Mrs. Helen Lane. English—Mrs. Hugo Schulz, Misses Lucille Bickley, Alice Bate, Ethel Jones, Lulu Rumsey, Mrs. Myrtle Owens, B. F. Steelhead and Miss Bella J. Walker. History—L. P. Nicholas, Homer Joster and Miss Margaret Cameron. Languages—Misse Lois Dyer and Anna T. Cresalia, Spanish; F. R. Schiller, Spanish and French; Miss Helen Troup, Latin and Spanish. Mathematics—Misses Margaret Hampton, Mabel Thayer and Mrs. L. E. Sutherland. Music—Joshua Williams and Mrs. Janle Nunn. Science—Miss Love Holt, J. E. Burrows, Charles Reinhart and George Hedstrom. Shop—J. L. Van Der Veer, W.M.Drennon and Harry E.Burden. Library—Miss Helen Coyner and through one central organization a better condition for its disposal would prevail. But even so, the scheming brokers would be a factor to contend with. The well-known orange grower referred to says a few years ago there was a wise man who supervised these matters, but he has passed on. Eighty per cent of the citrus fruit is handled by the associations, the remaining 20 per cent is shipped by independents. Were all this fruit shipped through the co-operation of growers—by becoming members of the association—better results and better prices would be obtained. All producers must of necessity realize that they must co-operate in order to get just returns for their labor. It is the only solution to the present condition now confronting many farmers in all parts of the agricultural districts. It is time for the producers to wake up and stand for a square deal.

FIGHT WITH SHARK Richard Gunther, fisherman, came into Newport a day or two ago somewhat battered up from a three-hour battle with a man-eating shark off Catalina Island. His clothes were torn and he was bruised on the body. Gunther says he had a number of albacore lines out when he noticed a commotion close by and soon he was surrounded by fish and a shark at least thirty feet long. Gunther fastened a plike blade to his oar and attacked the animal. In an instant the huge fish turned on him. Its head was as large as a barrel, with two rows of long teeth protruding from its mouth. The shark seized the gunwale of the boat, then the rail and each time tore away a portion of the fifteen-foot vessel. Its tail lashed the man and threw him to the bottom. Then evidently entangled in the fishing lines it turned and raced away pulling the boat after it at great speed. Gunther managed to drag himself to the lines and cut them, releasing the vessel.

OIL COMPANY WANTS TO LEASE HEWES RANCH Sub-Divided Property Withdrawn From Market Withdrawal from sale, by the Hewes Realty company, of its vast citrus acreage at El Modena, with a view to possible leasing for oil development, aroused residents of El Modena district to the possibility of that district becoming an oil-producing center. D. Eyman Huff, vice-president and manager of the realty company, confirmed the report that his company had withdrawn its property from sale. He stated that negotiations have been on for the leasing of the holdings to one of the largest of the operating companies, but that he was not at liberty to reveal the name of the concern. In taking the step, Huff did so with the full consent of the board of directors, as approval of the proposal was given by the directors after Huff had presented to them the possibility of leasing, he said.

According to reports, the Shell Oil company is endeavoring to secure leases on tracts embracing 160 acres, the location being between La Veta avenue on the north, Fairhaven avenue on the south, Tustin avenue on the west and Prospect avenue on the east. It is reported that only two or three property owners are holding out. The Hewes ranch contains 675 tures, figured largely in the remarkprivate owners since the tract was subdivided. Huff pointed out that there has been considerable activity east of Orange in leasing for oil. He is of the opinion that if oil is found in the locations under lease, "black gold" also will be found underlying the Hewes property. MILLIONS ATTEND THEATRES Twenty million persons attended motion picture theatres and other places of amusement in the southern California district last month. This sets a new record, according to the collector of internal revenue for this district. It indicates that the attendance for the year will reach the quarter billion mark, or more than twice the population of the United States, and that $46,500,000 will be spent for the amusements in the district during the MAY SUB-DIVIDE A SUBURBAN SECTION OLIVER HILL THINKING OF CUTTING HIS RANCH INTO HOME SITES Ideally Located for People Who Desire a Quiet and Noiseless Night After a Busy Day in the City—Situated Near an Electric Line, and Only a Few Minutes' Drive From Anaheim by Automobile—Would Make Ideal Residence District. Oliver Hill, while seeing many acres leased for mineral exploitation, believes that this section needs room for many more new homes, and is considering a plan to sub-divide his 36-acre tract of land west of town, in close proximity to the electric railway line. The land is ideally situated, being in a section especially adapted for residences, and homes for people who care to get away from the humdrum of daily business life. Two years ago a group of capitalists, who were leasing land in the west country for oil rights approached Mr. Hill for Twenty million persons attended motion picture theatres and other places of amusement in the southern California district last month. This sets a new record, according to the collector of internal revenue for this district. It indicates that the attendance for the year will reach the quarter billion mark, or more than twice the population of the United States, and that $46,500,000 will be spent for the amusements in the district during the year. Admission tax receipts for the past month were $322,344.41, a gain of 33 per cent as against collections of $240,626.87 for the corresponding period of last year. At this rate the tax receipts for 1923 will be $3,868,132.92 as against $528,606 for the entire year of 1918—just five years ago—when the tax on ten-cent admisisons was in effect. In explaining the almost unbelievable growth of motion picture attendance in southern California, the collector said that the fact that Los Angeles had displaced New York as the nation's official critic of motion pictures, figured largely yin the remarkable expansion in motion picture attendance in southern California. FACTS ABOUT THE ECLIPSE Strange phenomena accompanying the total eclipse, together with problems connected with studying astronomy, the value of those studies, and the sights one may expect to see if in the total eclipse path next Monday, were explained to the Rotary club at its luncheon meeting at St. Ann's Inn on Tuesday by Miss Jennie Lasby, professor of astronomy at the junior college in Santa Ana. "The total eclipse will occur at 12:55 p.m. next Monday," said Miss Lasby. According to the speaker the next total eclipse will be in the year 2045, although there are numerous partial eclipses during the course of a century. "The shadow of the moon is in the shape of a cone," said Miss Lasby, "and this makes it very difficult to get a total eclipse because of the distance between earth and moon. Distance between the two is variable, and the moon must travel in an exact plane to be in a line for a total eclipse. Should the earth be far away from the sun and the moon near, the cone would vanish before it reached believes that this section needs room for many more new homes, and is considering a plan to sub-divide his 36-acre tract of land west of town, in close proximity to the electric railway line. The land is ideally situated, being in a section especially adapted for residences, and homes for people who care to get away from the humdrum of daily business life. Two years ago a group of capitalists, who were leasing land in the west country for oil rights, aprpoached Mr. Hill for a business conference regarding his holdings, but he refused to make a deal with them. In speaking to a number of his friends the other afternoon Mr. Hill said he is thinking seriously of placing his tract upon the market, his aims bein to create a well planned restricted residential district. Just a short while ago Mr. Hill refused a very flattering offer for his land, said to be $4000 per acre. He did not need the money, and preferred to maintain possession of the acreage intact. But with the rapid strides being made here he realizes that by opening up his tract for homes he would be doing an act which would be greatly appreciated by the many home seekers now coming here daily. Mr. Hill came to Anaheim in 1873 when this valley was sparsely settled, and has witnessed this section grow to its present wonderful state of development. An intimate friend suggested that the new tract be named "Hillcrest," but another favors the euphonious title of "Bonnie Brae." Mr. Hill said he would think the matter over and make his decision later. SEAL BEACH GAMBLER HELD FOR SHOOTING Claims Attempt Was Made to Hold Him Up. Facing a possible charge of murder, E. J. Clark, 33, said to have operated a gambling house at Seal Beach, was held in the county jail, while William Golindo, Los Angeles salesman, was in the Seaside hospital at Long Beach in a dangerous condition as the result of a pistol wound said to have been inflicted by Clark. According to information obtained by Deputy Sheriffs Ed McClellan and Herman Zabel, who investigated the affair Saturday night, Clark was said to have shot Golindo during an alter- IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN Last summer this injunction was hurled at us: "Order your coal now." We did, and when winter came we had to beg for what we had ordered. E. J. Clark, 33, said to have operated a gambling house at Seal Beach, was held in the county jail, while William Golindo, Los Angeles salesman, was in the Seaside hospital at Long Beach in a dangerous condition as the result of a pistol wound said to have been inflicted by Clark. According to information obtained by Deputy Sheriffs Ed McClellan and Herman Zabel, who investigated the affair Saturday night, Clark was said to have shot Golindo during an altercation near Clark's place of residence. Clark had been placed under arrest by Jack Combs, city marshal of Seal Beach, and was brought to the county jail by McClellan and Zabel. Clark told the officers, they said, that Golindo and J. W. Kimball, 1126 West Seventh street, Los Angeles, called him from his establishment and sought to hold him up, demanding $500. "All right, boys. I'll step inside and get it for you," Clark told them, according to his story to the officers. Clark then re-entered his place, he said, and returned with a gun instead of the money. He shot Golindo through the abdomen, it was said. Surgeons operating at the hospital removed the bullet, which had lodged in Golindo's spine. A section of the intestines also was removed. From the hospital it was stated that Golindo's chances of recovery were poor. The nature of the charge to be filed against Clark awaits the outcome of Golindo's wounds, the authorities stated. They also expressed an intention on investigate Clarks' version of the shooting carefully. You are dead as soon as you become ambitious to start a new project tomorrow instead of today.
