STRONG INDICATIONS FOR COMING FIELD ON KRAMER LEASES WITH THE OIL OPERATORS Indications are now strong for a coming oil field at Kramer. The Amalgamated Oil Co. has about completed rigging up of Ibblison No. 1. The Fullerton Oil Co. has a well rigged up and a camp made. The General Petroleum has some property leases and it is understood that work must be commenced soon under the lease. The Standard is leading with three wells drilling. Kramer No. 2 is now drilling at 2300 feet, and the shale is showing considerable oil. Anaheim Union well No. 1 is drilling at 2725 and is also showing enough oil to look like a real well. Lock No. 1 is still standing cemented. After drilling over a mile at La Habra, the Tri-State Oil Co. has abandoned all hope of getting any production. After the pipe pulling INVADE PLACENTIA Fullerton, it is reported, will soon ask the supervisors to readjust her school district boundaries to conform to an act passed by the last legislature providing there shall be only one school district within a city of the sixth class. The law has not been enforced and some believe it will not stand a test in the courts. Its enforcement would work a considerable hardship on Placentia, as it would remove nearly two million dollars worth of property from the district and would reduce attendance very little. ERNEST SERVICE AT PASADENA THURS. Funeral services for Mrs. R. W. Ernest, who died Friday, will be held Thursday from the chapel of Ives & Warren, at the corner of Marengo ave and Union-st, in Pasadena. The ceremonies will be conducted by Rev. J. F.

Kramer No. 2 is now drilling at 2300 feet, and the shale is showing considerable oil. Anaheim Union well No. 1 is drilling at 2725 and is also showing enough oil to look like a real well. Lock No. 1 is still standing cemented. After drilling over a mile at La Habra, the Tri-State Oil Co. has abandoned all hope of getting any production. After the pipe pulling had rotten under way, a showing of oil was observed at 2300 feet. This was found of no value. Six years and $100,000 were expended. The Analgamated Oil Co.'s No. 48 on the Anaheim Union property is showing up very strong at 600 feet. The drill continues to make hole in the brown shale, and as the depth increases the showing of gas and oil increases. The Brea Canyon Oil Co.'s No. 28 is now drilling in the oil sand at 2600 feet and the quality of the oil sand now being pierced is the best and is alive with oil and gas. At No. 31 the depth is now 1110 feet and the formation gravel. It is the intention to commence soon on the redrilling and cleaning out of old wells. Two months ago a double section gave rise to a fishing job on the Columbia Oil Co.'s No. 7 that all the fishing tools have failed to remedy. The work of trying to get the baller will continue. No. 8 has stopped flowing after making-200 barrels a day for the past month. Drilling at 4645 in blue shale is the condition in Bastanchury No. 6. No. 5, the grusher, still stands cemented at 4554, and will not be opened up and tested out for at least another week. Falling to get satisfactory shut off of water with 8½ masonry rotary, has been put back and the Union's Chapman well at Placentia will drill deeper. A second attempt will be made to get the water with the 514 pipe. This well is making some very good showings. On the old Graham-Loftus the Union has narrowed development to three wells. No. 49 is drilling in the oil sand at 3367. No. 51 is making hole with the rotary in hard conglomerate at 2350. No. 52 is drilling at 1875. The production of the Graham Loftus is standing up very well considering a number of the wells have been producing six years. PASADENA THURS. Funeral services for Mrs. R. W. Ernest, who died Friday, will be held Thursday from the chapel of Ives & Warren, at the corner of Marengo-ave and Union-st, in Pasadena. The ceremonies will be conducted by Rev. J. F.

The remains will be kept in the Ives & Warren vault until the weather moderates in Iowa, when they will be taken to Osceola, In., Mrs. Ernest's childhood home, for burial. ELECTRIC RATES UP Since the state railroad commission has issued an order permitting the Southern Counties Edison Co. to increase rates to the extent of assuring $1,000,000 more revenue, there has been some talk in Anaheim of returning to the municipal manufacture of juices. The new rate changes annual the five-year contract the city made two years ago with the Edison company by which Anaheim obtains juice at the rate of $.09 per kilowatm. The new rates will increase the cost to the city about .135 per cent. TAKEN TO HOSPITAL The city council has voted to send city employees suffering with flu to the county hospital, where they cannot receive proper care at home. The salaries are continued during the illness when they remain at home. A. D.

No. 51 is making hole with the rotary in hard conglomerate at 2350. No. 52 is drilling at 1875. The production of the Graham Loftus is standing up very well considering a number of the wells have been producing six years. At 2500 feet, the Olinda Land Co.'s wild cat east of the Brea field is drilling in a tough blue shale. The gas struck at 2470 continue. Pipe trouble has developed at No. 19 at 2920 feet. For the first time since drilling commenced on No. 69 of the West Coast, a fishing job is halting the work. At 2301 the drilling is now being delayed with a string of tools in the hole. No. 69 is making hole in hard shale at 2301. No. 79 has been cemented and is standing with 2023 feet of 10-inch pipe. The Columbia is starting off the year's work with the completion of No. 30. The well is pumping oil and water. No. 28 is drilling at 3500, is in the oil sand and looking good. No. 31 has resumed drilling and shows 250 feet.

Simpson of the Standard Minerals Co., returned Saturday from several days spent at the molybdenite mines at Kingman, Ariz. He reports everything most satisfactory. The Neal vein has broadened from 7½ feet to nearly 11, of highly concentrated ore. The mill is running like clockwork and more than $20,000 worth of concentrates have already been turned out. Electric lights have been installed in the mill. A telephone line has been run out the six miles from Kingman, and the Chamber of Commerce of that city have announced they will insist that the county commissioners put the six miles of road in excellent repair. There is an abundance of water for the mill. President Simpson reports that shipments of concentrates will start the middle of this week, that more orders than can be filled are still coming in and that there is enough ore in sight to warrant a 300-ton mill. The mill, which is now 50-tons WILL SEEK INTER-COUNTY PROTECTION At the annual meeting of the Tri-Counties Reforestation committee on Thursday at Riverside, a telegram was read from U.S. Forester Graves that the Forest Service would set aside $5000 for extension of fire protective system on San Bernardino mountains on condition that an equal amount be appropriated by the state.

FIND DUCKS; NO GEESE A goose hunting party composed of Walter and Moss Porter, Charles Carrol, Jack Crow and Walter Kern, returned Sunday evening after a week in the Buena Vista lake country. They found plenty of geese, but they were too wild to get a shot at. They obtained 75 ducks. PROTEST AT CARNIVAL A number of citizens in the vicinity and the San Bernardino watershed in connection with the amount offered by Graves. A resolution was also passed requesting Senator Evans to do all in his power to secure the enactment of a law for the creation of storm water districts in one or more counties so that it may be possible for one district to be formed on the Santa Ana river and its tributaries thru the three counties. A resolution enorsing the bill prepared by the Farm Bureau for more stringent rules to prevent waste of artesian water was passed.

Williamson and John McCoy were elected members of the committee from Riverside-co, vice Oscar Ford and J. F. Koster. Chairman Cuttle was re-elected as were all of the other officers. George H. Maxwell gave an interesting report on pending legislation in Washington. He stated that on account of the death of Senaor Newlands and war conditions it was very difficult to get concerted action for the appointment of the commission provided for by the Newlands River Regulation Amendment, but from the fact that all parts of the country were greatly in need of the protection which would be afforded by the working out of the Newlands plan, he believed that a public sentiment might be worked up that would compel the appointment of the commission. A unanimous vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Maxwell for his illuminating and instructive address. 2ND LYCEUM NUMBER THURSDAY EVENING The second lyceum course number, which was not held last Wednesday evening as advertised because of a misunderstanding in dates, will be held positively Thursday evening, Jan. 16, at the high school auditorium.

SEES TRACT SUNDAY; BUYS LOT MONDAY While F. N. Cleveland, general sales agent for a large manufacturer of irrigating valves, gates, etc., at Pomona, with a party of friends, was motoring thru Santa Ana canyon Sunday afternoon, was struck by the attractiveness of Peralta Hills tract, overlooking the Santa Ana river valley. They drove into the tract and investigated. When he saw the winter peas hadn't been touched by frost, noticed the building being done, and the splendid provision that had been made for irrigation, he proceeded over the tract and selected three lots. ATTY. CLYDE BISHOP TO HANDLE LEGAL PHASES OF OUTFALL Will Prepare Bill Permitting Inter-City Cooperation and Condemnation The first definite steps taken by the Inter-City Sewer committee towards carrying out its plan for joint construction of an outfall sewer to the ocean was made at a meeting in the city council room here Friday night. Attorney Clyde Bishop of Santa Ana was employed to handle legal features connected with the project outside of those arising within the corporate limits of the cities interested in the project. The first move will be to present and have passed a bill authorizing the cities to vote bonds for such a project and to provide for condemnation proceedings should it become necessary motoring thru Santa Ana canyon Sunday afternoon, was struck by the attractiveness of Peralta Hills tract, overlooking the Santa Ana river valley. They drove into the tract and investigated. When he saw the winter peas hadn't been touched by frost, noticed the building being done, and the splendid provision that had been made for irrigation, he proceeded over the tract and selected three lots. In order to be sure of getting before they were sold and before he has to leave for Arizona, Jan. 15, he sent a friend over early this morning with a cash deposit to be left with C. B. Berger Co., agents, to apply on any one of the three still on the market. He bought 9.49 acres, lot No. 18, in tract No. 2. The friend went back home determined to raise the cash for a lot himself. By the nature of his work Mr. Cleveland is acquainted with citrus lands all over the state. He likes Peralta Hills so well he will make it his home. MAKES MONEY FAST For some time J. W. Walls has had a 20-acre ranch 4½ miles northwest of Anaheim, on the market for $25,000. Now he is publishing an announcement that he has taken it out of the hands of realty dealers. The reason: He went out to the ranch the other day and found the trees, 4 yrs. old last June, had 1200 to 1500 boxes of fruit and it looked good to him. He says now he believes he will hold it for a couple of years for $25,000. A RAINLESS RAINBOW Didja seen the rainbow Monday morning? It was a very vivid affair and lasted for an hour. The excuse was a slight sprinkle. Old sailors claim an early morning rainbow is a sign of dry weather, which no one will dispute this season. GETS TWO NEW FORDS George Dunton has just received the two new Fords, a touring car and roadster, the first since August. Deliveries promise to continue slow for some time. 25c FOR EACH FAMILY The city council has voted to night. Attorney Clyde Bishop of Santa Ana was employed to handle legal features connected with the project outside of those arising within the corporate limits of the cities interested in the project. The first move will be to present and have passed a bill authorizing the cities to vote bonds for such a project and to provide for condemnation proceedings should it become necessary to resort to the courts in securing a right of way for the outfall. As the law now stands the cities could not vote bonds for the joint outfall and right of condemnation is questioned. These points will be cleared in the bill which Bishop is to draft and cause to be passed by the legislature. He will have full control of this feature. He is to be what might properly be called chief legal advisor in the outfall sewer proceedings. Provide Bond Election The city attorney will provide for the bond elections in their respective cities and other legal matters that may develop in connection with the enterprise. Condemnation proceedings brought outside of corporate limits, contracts, etc., will be handled by Bishop. His employment is subject to approval of the city councils of the four cities and his compensation is to be $3000, to be paid quarterly over a period of two years. It is believed that it will require at least two years to bring the project to final completion. Committees Ready With resolutions presented to the council approving the retaining of Bishop will come a definite determination by all the cities as to whether or not they want to enter into the project. The committees from each city appointed to the Inter-City committee are enthusiastic over the plan and believe it offers a solution for a problem that each city will have to face sooner or later. Each of the committees expressed the belief that their action would be ratified by their councils. The boards of Santa Ana and Orange meet Monday night. Special meetings will probably be called by the boards at Anaheim and Fullerton. Bishop has had considerable legislative experience, having served this county for two terms and having later represented other interests in GETS TWO NEW FORDS George Dunton has just received the two new Fords, a touring car and roadster, the first since August. Deliveries promise to continue slow for some time. 25c FOR EACH FAMILY The city council has voted to charge 25c additional to the minimum rate for each additional family using water from one meter whether in separate houses or in apartments. CITY FLU REPORT City Heath Officer Truxaw reports two new influenza cases for Sunday, four Saturday and none Friday. H. S.

The chaperones were Mrs. Jessurun, Mrs. Hargrave, Mr. and Mrs. Clayes and Mr. Bratfish. Ben Baxter, Cement Pipe, Pac 175R1 Lenox Soap, 5c the bar; few days only. EDMISTON'S GROCERY ROY W. HAMILTON ELECTRICIAN Kern Cycle Co. Pac 58 A sum of $3000 was allowed as his fee for two years work. A proposal by Trustee McPhee of Santa Ana to engage Bishop to do all of the legal work at $5000 was defeated, other committeemen believing that the city attorneys should be utilized to aid in the work. The expense of actual construction estimated at $200,000 will be attributed among the four cities in proportion to population. Out of 10,000 population in the four cities, Anaheim has a population of approximately 6,000, or one fifth. This would make the Orange expense about $40,000. In the preliminary sleps, however, the expense will be evenly divided between the four cities. BANK DEPOSITS GROW With a showing in their statement in response to the national bank call of Dec. 31 of better than a million and a half combined resources for the First National and American Savings banks. Vice-President Blank stated Saturday that deposits raised $40,000 since Jan.
