S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1902 The oratorical contest by the three high schools of Orange county will be held in the opera house in this city on the twenty-eighth of this month. This is the third annual contest for the medals, two of which are given each year, one for the best individual oration, and one to the school furnishing the best team of two from the upper grades. Major Finley of Santa Ana offers $20 to the school furnishing the best team of two from the lower grades, the ninth grade to furnish declamations and the tenth compositions. The Anaheim track team, accompanied by members of the Anaheim high school and friends, left Anaheim at 7:55 for Santa Monica, to take part in the interscholastic field day, May 10, 1902. The contestants were: Santa Monica high school, Herkimer team, Pasadena, Anaheim team, Throop team, and the Los Angeles Commercial high school. Messrs. Athearn and Remmel of Anaheim accompanied the team; Mr. Athearn acted as judge, and Mr. Remmel as timer. The team and judges were guests of Dr. Coffman of Santa Monica at dinner. The officials were as follows: Referee Bert Smith, starter; C. H. Price, clerk of course; T. P. Brown; announcer, Mr. Throop; marshal, Henry Lee; timers, P. B. Smith, Mr. Remmel, D. Barnum; field judges, Dr. H. L. Coffman, J. H. Francis, W. Lee Chambers; track judges, A. D. Tompkins, F. Athearn, Mr. Ellis. Throop Institute did not compete for points, but entered for practice, as they are going to play the University of Southern California on Saturday next, and being a college, was not considered in the same class with the high schools. Beach Oil Flow Continues High Huntington Beach Producing 74,000 Barrels Daily The town lot and old oil districts at Huntington Beach are producing an aggregate of 74,000 barrels of oil each day, it was revealed, following a survey. This is considered a high production, considering that new development is practically at a standstill. Only a few wells are drilling in the town lot section and unless something exciting happens in the vicinity of the San Martinez or Superior wells, near the business section, further development will probably be slow. The Standard Oil Company today was constructing its tenth well on the ocean front opposite Fifteenth street. It is believed that the Standard will come on down the ocean bluff as far as Twelfth street. The Newton P. Jackson well, on the corner of Twelfth street and Ocean avenue, recently showed a little ginger when it blew mud and water over the surrounding territory. The crew reported a heavy gas pressure at the time of the blow out, and it is believed that Jackson may strike some oil soon. More wells are being placed on the pump in the western section of the town lot field every day, according to reports. A casual survey of the field showed that more than three-fourths of the wells are now on the pump. There were only a few wells on the pump for many weeks following the discovery of the section. The San Martinez well at Ninth street created a furore here recently, when cement and perforated casing were delivered at the well. No other information has been secured on the project, however.

Lee Chambers; track judges, A. D. Tompkins, F. Athearn, Mr. Ellis. Throop Institute did not compete for points, but entered for practice, as they are going to play the University of Southern California on Saturday next, and being a college, was not considered in the same class with the high schools.

Gould, Throop; time, 10 4-5; Paul Turk second. The second event was the high jump, in which Fred Applegate, Throop, and Bradford, Anaheim, tied for first; height, 5 feet 3 inches. The 50-yard dash was won by Gould of Throop in 5 4-5, with Paul Turk an easy second. It is believed that if Turk had been in condition he could easily have made first. E. E. Stone of Anaheim, although considerably lighter than the others, made them work for a place in the hammer throw. He won fourth place. The 220-yard dash was won by Gould of Throop, Turk of Anaheim second; time, 23 seconds. Turk of Anaheim broke the Southern California record in the broad jump; distance, 21 feet 8½ inches; Albert Paul of Throop second. The pole vault was won by Turk of Anaheim; height, 9 feet 6 inches.

W. Aldridge of San Bernardino.
