New Oil Wells in Richfield District Oil Operators Active in That Section of County Two new wells were spudded in last week and two new rigs are going up. Three miles east of Yorba Linda, Petroleum Securities spudded in Thursday on its Kraemer No. 1 This is a wildcat location, being some distance east of the Standard Oil Company's old Kraemer well. Featherstone and Presion have spudded in on the Emory Francis well, but work is progressing slowly, as no night work is being done at present. Of the two new rigs, one is by the California Petroleum on the Bradford lease, which was a part of the Chickasan lease recently purchased by the Calpet. This new well is No. 7, the No. 6 well being the Calpet's latest producer. The General Petroleum has a new rig going up for Atwood No. 1 on part of the old Richfield United lease. The location for the well is one city lot, which lies between the Continental's Novarro No. 1, which is being redrilled, and the Featherstone and Preston well. The California Petroleum is fishing tubing out of Richfield Consolidated No. 15. The tubing was wrecked when the well blew out recently. On the next location, No. 14 will be deepened. The well has been producing 60 barrels from a depth of 2934 feet, and it was decided to go deeper. Its sister well, No. 14, will be deepened. Krug No. 9 is standing cemented at 2745 feet. Kammerer No. 6 of the Associated is having the mud washed out for a flow test. The three-inch tubing was set at 3940 feet. Nugent set casing at 3175 feet in Damon No. 2, and the well is being given a production test. Berry & Todd are down 4300 feet with their well, which is some distance east of the Standard's Anaheim Union Water Company wells at the foot of the lake. The well is more or less of a wildcat and production is problematical. Just west of the lake, the Union Oil Associated Chambers Endorses Prado Dam (Continued from Page One) year, estimated at the price of irrigating water, $15 per acre-foot, would be $300,000. It is estimated that 20,000 acre-feet of water is annually wasted. The annual flood damage is set at $100,000. This would be eliminated. The estimated value of the regulated gravity of the water on pumping would amount to $435,000, which would mean a total gross benefit of $835,000. The total maintenance cost is estimated at $300,000, which would leave a total net benefit of $535,000. There are 100,000 more acres of land in Orange county available to development if water were supplied. Lippincott declared. His report to the Chamber of Commerce follows: "The drainage basin of the Santa Ann river above the Prado reservoir site consists of 748 square miles of mountain, 157 square miles of foothills, and 580 square miles of valley, or a total of 1485 square miles, exclusive of the basin of the Temecula river above Lake Elsinore. The estimated gross annual water crop from this area is 360,000 acre-feet. The Santa Ann river at Prado is the largest stream in Southern California. The flow at this point is made up in part of flood waves that proceed from the upper drainage basin and of a remarkably regular additional flow consisting of the seepage and return waters from the valley areas above Prado which absorb a portion of the flood waters and also release a substantial quantity of underflow from the irrigated areas." "The United States geological survey has measured the flow of the river near the Prado reservoir since 1920. Prior to that time a great number of separate measurements were made by the late H. Clay Kellogg, which have been kindly placed at the disposal of the writer by his son. From all of those records it is estimated that the mean annual flow at Prado reservoir site amounts to 153,000 acre-feet per annum. The consumptive use in the upper basin, due principally to irrigation, is estimated at 207,000 acre-feet applied to 150,000 acres of land. This area is comparable to gravel beds in this work has extent during Orange county fits resulting flood waters morally there for objecting to ever Orange benefit of corn the Prado treeworthy necessary to a degree of profit." "When the storage capacity and cheapness sidered, there south of the T equals the Prabo river. It was county by Mr. checked by a state envoy deputy site of 70 of 174,000 acres order to give the storage capacity may be compared presented:" "Big Bear re-Hetch-Hetchy, city of San Francisco Henshaw Resey, 164,000 acres ervoir, 31,200." Kammerer No. 6 of the Associated is having the mud washed out for a flow test. The three-inch tubing was set at 3940 feet. Nugent set casing at 3175 feet in Damon No. 2, and the well is being given a production test. Berry & Todd are down 4300 feet with their well, which is some distance east of the Standard's Anaheim Union Water Company wells at the foot of the lake. The well is more or less of a wildcat and production is problematical. Just west of the lake, the Union Oil Company has rigs up for Y. L. G. No. 15 and No. 16, and both are ready to go. The Union will have two new producers soon. Chapman No. 26 and Stern No. 2. Stern No. 10 is down 3000 feet. In the western part of the field the Chicksaan is swabbing Lemke No. 1 for production. This was the big gasser that started the leasing north of Placentia. The drill pipe was wrecked when the well blew out, and has been taken out. It should make a good oil well, as well as a gasser. Robertson No. 1, the Chicksaan's old discovery well, is to be rebuilt. After going down 5000 feet, it was brought back to 3700, then dynamite was put down and the casing blown up. A new hole will be put down beside the old one. Mathis No. 1 is down 4010 feet in oil sand, and the prospects look good. The 8¼-inch casing is being set at 4100 feet in Lemke No. 2. Wallop No. 1, which Chicksaan is drilling for General Petroleum, is standing for water shut-off. Considerable publicity has been given out recently concerning the Chicksaan obtaining leases in Yorba Linda. The information was erroneous, and the Chicksaan is confining all operations to its old Placentia lease. The Holly well seems to be making good, as it is holding up at around 150 barrels a day. THE CALIFORNIA FARM Farm homes in California have from two to four times the number of modern conveniences, shown by a survey, to exist as an average over the United States. This survey, conducted by the General Federation of Women's Clubs, was made through a questionnaire on the farm home equipment of farms throughout the country. As an example of how farm homes in this state are favored over those of other states, let us consider the matter of the use of electricity—the world's greatest labor-saver. "There is more electricity used on California farms than in all the other states put together, we are told, but the survey shows that of the farms reporting, 1856 have no electricity. Forty-two per cent of the homes having no electricity are within one mile of a power line, 12.7 per cent are within two miles, and 9.6 are within three miles." "The 65 per cent of the farms that have electricity make a good showing when stacked up against the 46 states." There is more electricity used on California farms than in all the other states put together, we are told, but the survey shows that of the farms reporting, 1856 have no electricity. Forty-two per cent of the homes having no electricity are within one mile of a power line, 12.7 per cent are within two miles, and 9.6 are within three miles. The 65 per cent of the farms that have electricity make a good showing when stacked up against the 46 states. This 65 per cent is about two and a half times the average of the nation. Massachusetts and Utah lead California in electric lights, but in other uses of electricity the farms of this state are far ahead. California farms have nearly five times the national average in electric ranges, more than twice that in electric water heaters, nearly three times as many washing machines, two and a half times as many ironers, twice as many refrigerators, nearly three times as many vacuum cleaners, and more than three times as many electric sewing machines. Last Census Shows Increase of Animals Brown bears, 46,000 of them, were found by a recent census taking in the national forests of the United States. Deer, however, are the most numerous animals in the national forests. It is estimated that there are more than 600,000 of them. Their population has increased about 55,000 in a year. Next in estimated population are the elks, of which there are 72,000, representing an increase of 19,500 over the previous year. Although the extension of motor roads has assisted hunters in reaching game, it is pointed out that of the ten leading species in the 160 national forests, only two show a decrease in number compared to the last estimate. In some instances where elks have been "planted," the increase has been so rapid that it has been necessary to announce a special open season. In Utah and South Dakota this was the case. Buena Park Notes (By MRS: J. P. ROBISON) Francis B. Jones of this place has started a paper at Los Alamitos which is known as the Los Alamitos Press, and is published weekly. Mr. Jones was the founder and first editor of the Buena Park News. Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Haggarty and guest, Miss Ida Gunfory of Stoneboro, Pa., returned Wednesday from a four weeks' trip to Yosemite and Big Basin. C. J. Skytter of St. Paul, Minn., father of Mrs. J. H. Page, stopped here last week, en route from a trip to Alaska. Mr. and Mrs. Claud Allin and daughter, Claudine, left Monday for a vacation at Big Bear. Miss Eva Deets, who attended school at Berkeley last year and remained there for special work this summer, is gravel beds in San Bernardino county. This work has been growing rapidly in extent during the past few years. Orange county gets some of the benefits resulting therefrom. As long as flood waters waste into the sea, at least morally there may not be valid grounds for objecting to this process. If, however Orange county expects to get the benefit of conserving flood waters in the Prado reservoir site, it will be necessary to act with some reasonable degree of promptness in so doing. "When the available water supply, storage capacity, geographic position and cheapness of construction is considered, there is no other reservoir site south of the Tehachapi mountains that equals the Prado site on the Santa Ana river. It was surveyed for Orange county by Mr. Rowe and his survey checked by a second survey made by the state engineer's office. With a maximum depth of water at the reservoir site of 70 feet, a storage capacity of 174,000 acre-feet can be obtained. In order to give some yardstick by which the storage capacity of this reservoir may be compared, the following list is presented: "Big Bear reservoir, 64,600 acre-feet; Hetch-Hetchy, which is to supply the city of San Francisco, 295,000 acre-feet; Henshaw reservoir, on the San Luis Rey, 164,000 acre-feet; Sweetwater reservoir, 31,200 acre-feet; Moreno reservoir home for a short stay with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.

Ronald Wright is very sick at the Fullerton general hospital. He was taken sick a week ago Friday, and last Friday was taken to the hospital, where a trepanning operation took place to remove the pressure on the brain. It is believed that he is suffering from a tumor on the brain and, if his condition permits, another operation will be made. At first little hope was given for his recovery, but now the doctors are more hopeful. Jack Golden was taken to White Memorial hospital Monday. He has been a very sick man for about three weeks. It is believed his illness was caused by the bite of a kissing bug. Ladies of the Woman's Club met Tuesday to sew for the Preventorium Home at Trabuca canyon.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY Owned by Those it Serves Modoc Lava Beds Once Land of Fire Testifying to tremendous fires that once burned fiercely, but died away perhaps several hundred thousand years ago, the Modoc lava beds of northeast California afford one of the most interesting examples of volcanic energy in the United States, says William S. Brown in the course of an article, "The Land of Burned Out Fires," appearing in the August issue of Touring Topics. Here in the laval beds, the writer relates, are to be found innumerable craters, a veritable labyrinth of underground caves many of which have ice-covered floors, natural bridges, Indian pictographs, and a large number of fumaroles or chimneys. These fumaroles, some of which appear to be bottomless, are vents through which the hot gases from the earth's interior foun their way to the surface with almost explosive energy during the volcanic period. In addition to the geological interest, the region, it is said, likewise appeals to the student of California history, for here was fought one of the mostanguinary of all early border skirmishes. The Modoc Indians, the record shows, were charged with predatory raids against white settlers in southeastern Oregon. United States soldiers were dispatched against the redmen, and the latter fled to the lava beds where, by virtue of their intimate knowledge of the terrain, they stood off and virtually annihilated the attacking troops. The Modoc laval beds now possess the status of a national monument and may be reached over good highways from any point in California. Any hen will lay in the spring. Many more eggs are produced in the spring than are consumed at that time, while in fall and winter there are not eggs enough laid to meet the consumer demand. trade in your old Tires "Western Auto" Tires at these Low Prices SAVE at our low prices...and increase your savings by trading in your old tires as part payment on new, fully guaranteed Wear-well or Western Giant tires.
