Several carloads of oil having been shipped to Los Angeles during the week, the product of the Snow well northeast of Anaheim. This well is now yielding steadily five barrels of oil per day and there is an urgent need for the erection of a refinery of a capacity of about ten barrels a day. The owner of the well has not the means to equip this refinery but he hopes to induce some persons in Anaheim or Santa Ana to invest in the enterprise. It is to be hoped that those who feel disposed to invest and at the same time to encourage the development of these oil fields, will investigate this matter and see if it will pay to establish a refinery. The Snow well is 382 feet in depth and the oil belt having been found it will be an easy matter to sink other wells to tap the oil strata. With a refinery established the sinking of other wells will follow.
As pertinent to this time of year it may be well to mention that among the uses to which this oil may be put is the dipping of vine stakes. Coating the stakes with oil will preserve the wood for a long time.
We are in possession of porcine facts which justify us in challenging our esteemed contemporaries to beat them if they can. Two Poland China pigs six and a half months old, raised by J. D. Ott and sold to Robert Eccles of the Santa Ana Valley pork packing company, weighed 335 pounds each—three times more than the average hog of the same age. Mr. Ott has raised many porkers but this is his chef d'oeuvre in that line.
E. J. Baldwin has built on his ranch at Santa Anita, thirty-two homes for the thirty-two negro families that will soon arrive from Tennessee and entirely supplant Chinese labor on the rancho. The buildings are erected after the plan of the Negro houses in the south and present quite an attractive appearance.

E. J. Baldwin has built on his ranch at Santa Anita, thirty-two homes for the thirty-two negro families that will soon arrive from Tennessee and entirely supplant Chinese labor on the rancho. The buildings are erected after the plan of the Negro houses in the south and present quite an attractive appearance.
The fabled profits of orange groves in California are eclipsed by the profits of an onion tract at Chester, Orange county, New Jersey, on which 120,000 bushels of onions were grown last year, which were sold for $120,000. The land like that on which the majority of the orange groves of Los Angeles county are situated was a few years ago considered worthless and was brought to its present state of profit and fertility by assiduous cultivation. It is valued at $1,000 per acre.
Another big horticultural item is that of a farmer in Delaware township, N. J., who raised $1,800 worth of strawberries from two acres and a half of ground. For his success he was rewarded by the state board of agriculture with a premium.
The dwelling house of Patterson Bowers near Orange was burned on Monday and so quickly that only a piano and two chairs were saved. The origin of the fire is not known, as there was no fire in the house at the time. There was an insurance of $3,500 on the property.
Louis Weit and wife of San Francisco were the guests of Mr. Dreyfus on last Tuesday. They were on their way home from New Oreleans. Mr. Weit thinks the Exposition is hardly worth a tri pacross the continent. It is simply a vast Fair and does not rise to the dignity of a World's Exposition.
Justice A. Bailey has resigned his position and leaves shortly for the East to see friends he left there thirteen years ago. He will visit Trion mountains in North Carolina, a thermal belt which he thinks will agree with him, if not he will return to Anaheim.
There was a large attendance at the Masquerade ball on Friday last, though the attendance of spectators was largely in excess of those who went en masque. The participants had a most excellent time and entered into the enjoyment of the occasion with zest and zeal. The supper at the Anaheim hotel was a revelation, and showed to what culinary heights Mr. Pommer can rise when occasion requires. The dancing was kept up until the silence of morning was broken by ythe crowing of the chanticleer. Following is a partial list of the maskers: Miss Wille, housekeeper; Miss Werder, sailor lassie; Mrs. Yaeger, Irish woman; Miss Louisa Mosseman, Red Riding Hood; Miss Alma Eymann, music; Misses Clara Mosseman, Margaret Higgins, Fannie Higgins, Emma Schneider, Dominoes; Arthur Lewis, Julius Schneider, G.

Engineer H. C. Kellogg's exhaustive address on the vagaries
of the Santa Ana river and the best method of curbing its overflow occupied most of the time at the mass meeting held in
the chamber of commerce room on Tuesday evening. Mr. Kellogg
has lived in this county more than forty years and has surveyed
every foot of ground in the county. He is acquainted with every
weak spot in the river's embankments and every low spot in its
contiguous territory, and gave some valuable information relative
to the best and cheapest method of protecting the lowlands from
its periodical overflow. He favors the formation of a protection
district beginning at a point above the Yorba bridge and extending
to the Newbert district below. District Attorney Wavis also
spoke in favor of the proposition. J. A. Knapp, reported that the
people of Garden Grove were in favor of the cause, but Buena
Park was opposed to it. The Fullerton people have not taken
action in the matter neither has Westminster. Mr. Stockwell of
the finance committee reported that he and Mr. Linebarger had
raised $300 for temporary repairs and that a force of from six to
ten men, with several teams are now working on the Yorba bridge.
Mr. Cook reported that he had raised $150. A. A. Mills who has
been taking measurements, stated that the proposed district
would contain about 70,000 acres of land including three towns
and he favored raising bonds by direct assessment instead of by
the usual method of a bond issue. The committees were all continued and instructed to report further at the next meeting which
will assemble at the call of the chairman.
Most interesting an dinstructive was the illustrated lecture,
"An Evening with the Stars," by Prof Baumgardt at the auditorium,
Friday evening. The large audience which gathered to hear the learned astronomer listened attentively for nearly three hours to an address teeming with information about the manifold wonders of the stellar universe. Prof Baumgardt's lectures on
Beekeepers Receive Nearly As Much In Last Year As In '33
Despite nearly 20 per cent decrease
in the total honey production in California in 1934, caused by the effects of
the drought on honey producing plants,
the beekeepers of the state received approximately as much for the short
1934 crop as for the 1933 production,
which was also below average for the state.
That was the estimate made in a report prepared by H. M. Krebs, supervising aplary entomologist, state department of agriculture.
Retail value of the 1933 honey crop alone was set at $1,000,000 Krebs said,
and because of the increase in prices received for the reduced crop in 1934,
the total for the year just concluded may be about the same. The 1934 crop
was estimated at 9,720,000 pounds, compared with 12,169,000 pounds in 1933.
The honey crop for 1934, about 20 per cent under that of 1933, is about 50 per cent of the normal annual production
in the state over a period of years.

Most interesting an dinstructive was the illustrated lecture,
"An Evening with the Stars," by Prof Baumgardt at the auditorium, Friday evening. The large audience which gathered to hear the learned astronomer listened attentively for nearly three hours to an address teeming with information about the manifold wonders of the stellar universe. Prof. Baumgardt's lectures on astronomy in Europe and America have for years attracted wide attention, and he is today one of the leading authorities in America upon a subject which has thrilled the people of the earth for many centuries. In conclusion the professor abjured his hearers not to permit his words to be the last of their search for information about the complex marvels of the heavens. Get away from the gew gaws of the city, he said, away from its shams and pretences and hold communion with the heavens.
H. C. Gade who returned some days ago from Skidoo, where he has mining interests, reports severe cold weather prevailing there. Water pipes were frozen and drinking water had to be carried a mile. Water also froze solidly in the cans in which it was carried. Little snow fell, but the region experienced the coldest weather in many years.
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Weisel entertained the "Four-Fours" whist club at their home on last Wednesday evening. Mrs. Wallop and Bird Beebe won the prizes both being orders for gloves.

Miss Anna Ryan entertained the ladies of the 500 club on Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Hatzfeld was awarded first prize and Mrs. Melrose second. Refreshments were served and the afternoon was heartily enjoyed by all present.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dyer entertained a number of friends on Tuesday evening. Music and games served to pass a very pleasant evening. A delicious Dutch lunch was served and at a late hour the guests departed for their homes. Their were present Mr. and Mrs. R. Melrose and Miss Winifred Melrose, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wallop, Mr. and Mrs. van der Horch.
The Yorba bridge is now open to light rigs but still dangerous for heavy rigs to pass over it. About 200 feet of the structure was washed out during the heavy rains the first of the year.

REPORT OF BOARD OF AUDIT
(Continued from page 2)
We note that the operating income this year failed to pay the costs of distribution, due to the October rain having stopped irrigation almost entirely. We stockholders, however, can congratulate ourselves on saving the cost of irrigating.
Our notes are being refunded on the basis of 5% as fast as they come due. This policy will reduce our interest payments around $3000.00 a year.
We feel that the new pipe line and booster plant on the Gomber Tract will relieve the demand on the main canal to a sufficient extent to make the upper part of the district comparatively safe for some years. We hope that the bountiful rains of this season will also raise the water level in our wells.
The undersigned members of the Board of Audit have carefully examined all books, papers and other records appertaining to the business of the Company for the year ending December 31, 1934, and find that the same have been kept in a correct, neat, clear and intelligent manner, and the foregoing is a full, true and complete report taken from the books covering the above mentioned period.
We wish to commend the office force and the executive departments for the careful and efficient administration of the business of the Company.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR STALEY,
S. C. HARTRANFT,
Board of Audit.
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT FOR 1934
JOHN BRUNWORTH
On June 5th, 1934, John H. Brunworth one of our Directors passed to the great beyond.
For many years Mr. Brunworth was connected with this company, first as a Zanjero, in the Anaheim District, in which capacity he served from 1896 to 1912, when he retired to his ranch.
In November, 1925, when Mr. O. P. Rust resigned as a Director, Mr. Brunworth was appointed to fill the vacancy on the Board and served in that capacity until his death on June, 5, 1934.
In the passing of Mr. Brunworth the Company has lost a conscientious director, and one who was deeply interested in the affairs of the company.
CONSTRUCTION
The only construction of any importance during 1934 was the drilling of a well on the Gomber Tract and the construction of a 24 inch steel line from this well to a point on Kraemer avenue, about 300 feet north of Madison avenue.
This well is 24 inches in diameter and 484 feet deep. In this well we installed a No. 6 - 8 stage "Q" type Byron Jackson pump with a 300 H. P. General Electric direct connected motor.
The cost of this well, together with all necessary equipment, such as steel derrick, electrical equipment, extension on pump, repairs to well rig, during construction of well, casing and labor for drilling amounted to $11,153.88.
The cost of the 24 inch steel line laid, including digging of trench and backfilling, together with necessary valves, outlets and meters was $18,097.92. Making the total cost of this project $29,251.80.
As we did not have a reservoir or Booster plant at this location the water was pumped directly from the well, a lift of 200 feet, and boosted 60 feet through the 10,000 feet of 24 inch steel line to the point of delivery in one operation. We delivered 235 inches of water to the Placentia district from July 19th to Oct. 15th.
We expect this well to deliver 400 inches of water into the reservoir.
At the present time we are completing the unit by the construction of a 500 inch - 15 hour capacity reservoir together with a B. J. Booster plant, all of which we expect to have ready for use by April 1st, 1935.
The cost of this well, together with all necessary equipment, such as steel derrick, electrical equipment, extension on pump, repairs to well rig, during construction of well, casing and labor for drilling amounted to $11,153.88.
The cost of the 24 inch steel line laid, including digging of trench and backfilling, together with necessary valves, outlets and meters was $18,097.92. Making the total cost of this project $29,251.80.

We delivered 235 inches of water to the Placentia district from July 19th to Oct. 15th.
We expect this well to deliver 400 inches of water into the reservoir.
At the present time we are completing the unit by the construction of a 500 inch - 15 hour capacity reservoir together with a B. J. Booster plant, all of which we expect to have ready for use by April 1st, 1935.
This 500 inches will be available for all land in the Placentia district south of Palm avenue and everything in the Fullerton district.
While this water is not delivered to our main canal above Placentia, it answers the same purpose as the upper district will be able to retain 500 inches of water which would be required for irrigation of lands below Palm avenue: In other words by changing the point of delivery of this water from the Gomber Tract, our water will be more evenly distributed over our entire district.
YORBA RESERVOIR
Early in the summer of 1934 we gave parties in Yorba Linda premission to take dirt from the upper end of Yorba reservoir.
There was such a demand for this dirt that by fall there were three shovel outfits operating.
Our object in giving this dirt away was to increase the storage capacity of water in the Yorba reservoir. While we did not keep a record of the loads of dirt taken out we believe in the neighborhood of 50,000 yards have been moved. However we will soon have to fill the reservoir and stop all operations until next summer.
WATER DELIVERIES
Our demand for water started early in March and we started pumping in April, with a steady demand all summer until Oct. 19th when we had our first rain, stopping all sales and as a result of the early rains our sales for the year amounted to only $83,571.04, as compared to $92,568.93 for 1933.
WATER LEVELS
The following table gives the water conditions at two locations at the Gomber Tract and Crowthers Corner for the past four years:
Crowthers Corner | Gomber Tract
---|---
1931 | 166 feet 2 inches | 190 feet 6 inches
1932 | 166 feet 2 inches | 185 feet
1933 | 171 feet 6 inches | 197 feet 9 inches
1934 | 175 feet 4 inches | 203 feet 4 inches
Showing a loss for the season of 1934 of 4 feet, 2 inches at Crowthers Corner and 5 feet, 7 inches at Gomber Tract. However, the water in the basin is rising at a fair rate at the present time.
WATER SPREADING
We are again spreading water at both Crowthers Corner and Gomber Tract.
TUFFREE RESERVOIR
Very little work was done at this point the past year $1640.23 was spent in dredging and dragline work as compared with $5608.34 in 1933. A little work each year will now keep this reservoir in good shape.
FREE DIRT
There is still a little dirt left at the Tuffree Reservoir and a large quantity at the Yorba Reservoir, where the dirt is free and the shovel operators will load your truck for 35 to 50 cents.
PUMPING PLANTS
Due to the continual lowering of the water level it was necessary to exchange the runners on Crowther No. 6 to keep the output up to 350 inches.
Gomber No. 4 was overhauled and lowered 24 feet.
Halliday No. 8 was pulled and repaired and the well sand pumped and is being reassembled. This will put all our pumping plants in good condition for 1935.
OUR OBLIGATIONS
Our outstanding notes increased $17,000.00 due to two things, first the decrease in sales of water of $9000.00 and secondly the constructing of the Gomber Booster $29,251.80. And as we have a program of another $25,000.00 to complete the Booster plant, reservoir and necessary pipe lines and pumping equipment, we feel if we try to avoid assessments we should have a rate of $2.00 per hour for all water sold when it is necessary to operate the pumping plants.
We feel this rate will not only pay all running expenses, but will also pay off part of the debt each year, which we should be doing.
