50 Years Ago MAY 8, 1887 There is continued and intense excitement in regard to petroleum in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. A company of San Francisco capitalists are prospecting for oil in the Sespe region while the great Standard Oil company is busy in prospecting the oil basins in the rancho of Hammil & Denker and Rancho La Brea. The continued development of oil in La Puente and Petrolia is very gratifying. A well recently bored near Santa Paula in Ventura county produces 50 barrels of oil a day. West of Los Angeles in the Rancho La Brea the work of sinking oil wells has been begun by a Pennsylvania firm and Messrs. Mammel & Denker will soon begin sinking wells on their portion of the oil basin in the Rancho Rodeo de las Agnas. Oil gushes out of the rocks on this great rancho as it does in some of the hills of Los Angeles. The artesian well of Iray A. Weir in the Cahuenga valley is flowing water and oil. On all sides the petroleum boom is spreading. Early pears are beginning to ripen. We have just enjoyed one from a tree growing on Mrs. Frothing's vineyard.

The strict requirements of the Horticultural commissioners, regarding the spraying of trees affected by scale has created a demand for a cheap and reliable pump which is fully met by the German Wine Pump kept for sale by Theodore Reiser. It is just the thing for spraying trees. Fruit growers should investigate the merits of Mr. Reiser's pump.

The corporation complains bitterly that it is already "the most investigated company in America." For years, while Andrew Melon was secretary of the treasury, the Aluminum company received consent from the department of justice for various business practices. When Harlan Fiske Stone was attorney general, he decided the Aluminum company should be prosecuted. At that point, President Coolidge appointed him to the supreme court bench. Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, named attorney general by Roosevelt promised he would bring suit against the aluminum trust, but died before he could keep that promise. The anti-trust laws lay dormant through the NRA period. Reasons assigned by most observers here for the present action are: The government is anxious to test the anti-trust laws in the supreme court. It is debatable whether previous supreme court decisions have so devitalized those laws as to make them ineffective. 2. Roosevelt is admittedly concerned about price inflation and thinks that, in rapidly rising profits and prices, there is a portent of another crash. It is said that even after Aluminum company profits increased from $9,-571,000 in 1935 to $20,$66,000 in 1936, the corporation raised its prices a few weeks ago, although it had been assumed profits would increase beyond the 1936 figure. 3. Robert H. Jackson, who prosecuted the Mellon tax case, is assistant attorney general in charge of the justice department's anti-trust law division. He has a lively interest in the long-neglected purpose for which that division was organized. Cummings and Jackson take the position that the Aluminum company is a perfect and complete monopoly, and that there is a law on the federal statutes which says its practices are illegal. The government charges that the corporation is the sole producer of pig aluminum in the United States, and that its recent price increases for virgin ingot was "an act of oppressive and unreasonable price fixing." The Aluminum company is described in the government's petition as having started with capital History of Area to be Presented in Drama S Far flung outposts, first are the symbols of threading "The Story of the Southwest." In telling this adventure stock of $20,000 in paid and $400,000 in stock ex for patents. At the end the company is said to have profits of $155,241,000 or above dividends of about 000,000.

Providing a speedier and safer route between Riverside and the Cherry City, the complete new artery is about 15 miles in length from Box Springs grade eastward. It eliminates need of using the narrow, twisting Moreno grade. The new section joins the fine stretch finished a year ago through the "badlands" nearly to Beaumont.
