Mr. Advertiser: The Plain Dealer Covers The Orange LEADING VOL. XXI, No. 110 BIG PRICES PAID FOR LEASES ABOUT CHAPMAN OIL WELL The big Chapman oil strike continues to hold up its claim to having proven an enormous new oilfield compared with which the Montebello field won't be in it. Property values over large areas adjacent to the well have mounted skyward, some as high as 300 per cent. A great deal of the land in the new field had already been leased. That which was still open is understood to have been snapped up by the horde of oil promoters who have swarmed to the district this week at a bonus of $1000 an acre and one-sixth royalty, in contrast to the usual one-eighth royalty. One 20-acre tract is said to have brought over $100,000. As the significance of the big strike comes home to Anaheim businessmen, their optimism bounds. Anaheim now is facing the most pros- EASTSIDE GROCERY AND MARKET OPENS A new grocery and meat market is being opened in the Hartmann-bldg, East Center-st, by Albert Meza, who will handle the grocery end and J. Gelsinger, who will handle the meats. Mr. Meza is a nephew of F. A. Hartmann, owner of the magnificent business block. Mr. Gelsinger is well-known in Anaheim. The store will be known as the "Eastside Grocery and eMat Market" and while it is expected to spring into favor immediately as a convenience to eastside residents, the managers confidently expect to attract patronage from all over the Anaheim territory through very reasonable prices and excellent service which will be their policy. A feature of the meat market will be the home butchering of Mr. Gelsinger, a modern brick smokehouse being erected at the rear of the store where he will smoke his own meats. BISHOP JOHNSON HERE TUES. NIGHT derstood to have been snapped up by the horde of oil promoters who have swarmed to the district this week at a bonus of $100 an acre and one-sixth royalty, in contrast to the usual one-eighth royalty. One 20-acre tract is said to have brought over $100,000. As the significance of the big strike comes home to Anaheim businessmen, their optimism bounds. Anaheim now is facing the most prosperous era in its history with an enormously rich oilfield only beginning to be opened up at its back door and surrounded by the richest agricultural lands in the world. You're lucky if you own property in the Anaheim district. Many businessmen believe that as the oil field is further advanced it will approach even much closer to Anaheim. As one man said Friday: "There is oil north and east of us, why not under out feet?" Most of the leases require that drilling start in 60 days which means that the most active development will ensue from now on. The Standard Oil Company has commenced putting timbers on the Kramer lease, next to the Chapman gusher, and will start rigging up just as soon as the ground dried a little. It is understood that Sam Kramer has received $200,000 for 200 acres. The Chapman gusher was still gushing Monday, six days after it came in with a flow of 100 inches, verifying the early indications of the biggest oil strike in the history of California. The Union Oil Company is transporting 400 men from Los Angeles in motor trucks every day to help laying the ten-inch pipe line extending from the new Chapman well to the Pacific Electric line at Olinda. The well has been capped and the work of a pipe line is being rushed for fear it will break loose again. The company is scraping dirt preparatory to the erection of another derrick on the same block as the gusher. A. L. Page has leased his ten acres on the Richfield Road to the oil company. DEATH FOLLOWS LONG ILLNESS After an illness covering a period of two years during which a great part of the time she was confined to her bed, Mrs. Mary Bertel passed very reasonable prices and excellent service which will be their policy. A feature of the meat market will be the home butchering of Mr. Gelsinger, a modern brick smokehouse being erected at the rear of the store where he will smoke his own meats. BISHOP JOHNSON HERE TUES. NIGHT The Rt. Rev. Bishop Johnson will make his annual visit to St. Michael's parish Tuesday evening, March 18th, at 7:30 o'clock when he will preach and conform a class of candidates, to be presented by the rector, Rev.

NIGHT PRESENT PLAN FOR PRISONS BREEDING NEW CONVICT CLASS That California judges are compelled to work an injustice almost every time they sentence a man to prison, by taking the breadwinner from a wife and children, was pleured polignantly last night before a large audience at the high school auditorium by Charles Grandon Booth, head of the Volunteers of America and son of General Ballington Booth, head of the Salvation Army. It was a very eloquent address. It is up to California taxpayers to provide prison labor for every convict, proceeds from which, after overhead is paid, should go to the family of the convict, continued the speaker. Breeding Convicts The convict class of the next generation may be expected to come from the neglected children of the convict. We must give them a chance. It is a good business investment. The speaker startled his audience by the statement that up to the opening of the present war, the population of American prisons was increasing BUILDING AND LOAN ASSSN. ADOPTS PLAN TO HELP BUILDERS Theodore Roberts, who is just now putting on the market a large tract of city real estate between No. Lemon and Palm-sts, has been notified by the Anaheim Building & Loan Assn. that, in order to assist in every way possible to relieve the housing situation daily becoming more acute, it has adopted a new policy of co-operation with the home builder. - The policy in brief is this: New Policy Whereas, the building and loan association heretofore has made loans only on two-thirds the cost of a new home, it will now advance the money for the full value of the building when the lot is held in the homebuilder's name. F. A. Backs, Jr., is secretary of the association. Roberts believes this will prove a most advantageous opening for those who have been hesitating about the erection of a home. Roberts says he has also been notified by local lumber dealers they assure that building material can be purchased here low as they can be obtained in Los Angeles. LANGENBERGER 24½ YRS EXPECT When the generous of Langenberger to turn city his 20 acres on No. I a city park was present Board of Trade recently, ed by the speaker discusser that Mr. Langenberger 100 years, if he desired. unanimous concurrence t However, the proposition considerable discussion. how long the city might the $3600 annuity before tions to Mr. Langenberger Anaheim insurance man nounced that statistics geenberger, now enjoying health at 45, an "expecta years and a "probability years. The insurance man show that of 100 men age, five die the first to die between the ages of four die between 45 and die between 55 and 65. Here's hoping that that berger is the exception to the rule and may live to jury mark if he wants to OAKLAND-FRAME BRANCH IN AN It is up to California taxpayers to provide prison labor for every convict, proceeds from which, after overhead is paid, should go to the family of the convict, continued the speaker. Breeding Convicts The convict class of the next generation may be expected to come from the neglected children of the convict. We must give them a chance. It is a good business investment. The speaker startled his audience by the statement that up to the opening of the present war, the population of American prisons was increasing so rapidly that at the same ratio of increase in 25 years ten percent of the population would have been behind the bars. With increased opportunities for employment with scarcity of labor at high prices, prison populations dropped, in some cases, to the lowest point in 30 years. Now, with slackening of the demand for labor, the scale is moving upward again. Start With $5 Every convict knows that when he is turned out of prison, with a $5 bill in the pocket of cotton suit, often wearing summer underclothes in the dead of winter, and expected to make good—he can turn to the homes of the Volunteers of America for abiding place until work is found for him. Since these homes were founded, 23,000 convicts have accepted the invitation to make from them their new starting point. Of these 23,000 men, 85 percent have made good. If prisons were conducted properly, 90 percent of all convicts should be turned out better men, able to cope with the problems of making an honest living. EVANGELIST TALKS ON MODERN SOCIETY Last Friday evening a big company assembled in Fisher's hall to hear Mr. Knox discourse on the thrilling topic "High Pressure Civilization." As he stepped to the speaker's desk he announced that he was like the goodly company which was before him in that the storm of the day could not deter him from keeping his engagement for the evening. "However," said he, "the official spokesman of the Knox family arrived today and my future assistant, Robert Winston, in testing out his power of expression held the floor no long and so well that it was necessary to resort to the spirit of the age and apply speed plus to get here on time." Mr. Knox will lecture tomorrow evening on the subject, "Conquering Nations," in which the Kaiser will be depicted along with other dreamers of world empire. His last act it is announced will be predicted. Fisher's hall 7:30 p.m. DOMESTIC SCIENCE Roberts believes this will prove a most advantageous opening for those who have been hesitating about the erection of a home. Roberts says he has also been notified by local lumber dealers they assure that building material can be purchased here low as they can be obtained in Los Angeles. Only Need Lot The would-be home builder can thus find himself in a new home of his own with an ittial outlay of only the cost of the lot. If he decides to put up a $2000 house, he can take out 20 shares of $100 each in the loan association. On these he pays 50 cents each month to reduce the principal. Interest is eight percent. This interest rate is not high when it is taken into consideration that the home-builder's payments of 50 cents per share monthly also draw interest at the same rate, so that as the time for retirement of the shares approaches he is drawing approximately the same amount of interest as he pays in. Splendid Values Roberts calls attention to the fact that he is now able to offer what he confidently believes to be the biggest real estate values in the city. These lots, some as low as $750, are real sacrifices, being from $200 to $500 under what located no better have been selling at in Anaheim for the last $ or 10 years," says Mr. Roberts. "Of course," he continues, "we will keep them down to this figure for only a short time. After we have sold a few more, realizing sufficient to relieve some of the burden we have been carrying, we will advance them to nearer their true value. Increasing in Value "All the while they are increasing in value, particularly in view of the fact that fine new improvements are being started in this very tract. I refer to the new $25,000 apartment house Vic LaMont will start in a few days, and the new $40,000 Elks clubhouse, both of which will be most beautiful buildings. Also, the fact the city has accepted the Langenberger park site has determined for all time that the exclusive residence section of the city is to be in this vicinity." Another Tract H. A. Dickel and E. Turck are preparing to place on the market another large tract between Roberts tract and the Langenberger park. This is covered with large orange trees and will make ideal home sites. Curbing already is in for sub-division and the promoters plan to cut two streets through the park. Roberts announced Monday that he planned shortly to begin the erection of a modern business block only on two-thirds the cost of a new home; it will now advance the money for the full value of the building when the lot is held in the home-builder's name. F. A. Backs, Jr., is secretary of the association. Roberts believes this will prove a most advantageous opening for those who have been hesitating about the erection of a home. Roberts says he has also been notified by local lumber dealers they assure that building material can be purchased here low as they can be obtained in Los Angeles. OAKLAND-FRANK BRANCH IN AMERICA J.

ANGENBERGER HAS 4½ YRS EXPECTANCY When the generous offer of A. G. Langenberger to turn over to the city his 20 acres on No. Lemon-st for city park was presented to the board of Trade recently, it was hoped one speaker discussing the matter that Mr. Langenberger live for 30 years, if he desired. There was unanimous concurrence to this wish, however, the proposition has created considerable discussion, as to just how long the city might be paying $3600 annually before all obligations to Mr. Langenberger cease. An insurance man today announced that statistics gave Mr. Langenberger, now enjoying the best of health at 45, an "expectancy" of 24½ years and a "probability" of twelve years. The insurance man's figures show that of 100 men at 25 years of age, five die the first ten years, 11 die between the ages of 35 and 45, four die between 45 and 55 and 16 die between 55 and 65. Here's hoping that Mr. Langenberger is the exception that proves the rule and may live to see the century mark if he wants to. OAKLAND-FRANKLIN BRANCH IN ANAHEIM CONGRESSMEN VIEW FAVORABLY HARBOR SITE AT NEWPORT That the national legislators who were in the county last week are keen and quick to grasp a project was evidenced by the comments made as to the possibilities of Newport Harbor when they viewed Newport Bay for a brief fifteen minutes from the Country Club house. Quickly and briefly they were informed of what Newport Beach has done, is doing and of plans for further extension of the work in developing the harbor. Their comments were most favorable as to location and the opportunity of providing one of the safest and best landlocked harbors on the Pacific coast. Prospective Harbor C. F. Lea, California, and Federick Hicks, New York, are members of the Rivers and Harbors Committee, who were in the party and they were deeply impressed with the bay. "There is one of the finest prospective harbors I have ever seen," de- now that of 100 men at 25 years of age, five die the first ten years, 11 between the ages of 35 and 45, four die between 45 and 55 and 16 between 55 and 65. Here's hoping that Mr. Langenberger is the exception that proves the rule and may live to see the century mark if he wants to. OAKLAND-FRANKLIN BRANCH IN ANAHEIM J. A. Cullen will be the Anaheim agent for the Wickersheim Implement Co., representing the Oakland automobile. He will also have the northern Orange-co agency for the Franklin. He will be located with Walter & Day, Sandusky tractor events, in the Hartmann-bldg. Mr. Cullen has been a salesmanagist for the Oakland branch at Omaha, ab. for the last eight years. He is now residing in Hollywood and will love here as soon as suitable home can be found. Mr. Cullen is a broth-in-law of President W. A. Dolan of the Anaheim National Bank. QUESTS OF THE PLACENTIA C. E. The Christian Endeavor Society of the Presbyterian church was the guest on Friday evening of the Christmas Endeavor Society of the Placenta Presbyterian church. Despite the recent weather there was a good attendance and a most enjoyable evening spent. Games were played, and the evening passed all too quickly. Rate in the eveining dainty refreshments were served, the color scheme of gold and purple being prettily carried out. Among those going from here were Dorothy Garrison, Ruth and essie Coons, AnitJa Hersler, Eda Mills, Marjorie Shive, Emma Owka, Lillis Johnston, Emily Hatch, Alice Nelson, Sophia Kohlenberger, Jessrs. Geo. Tanner, Lloyd Ross, Fottschalk, Dean Raikes, Arnold Enarly, Geo. Kohlenberger, Arthur Roons and Rev. Hatch. INFLUENZA VICTIM Died of influenza-pneumonia at Bakersfield, Calif.: 5 p.m., March 13, 1819. Mrs. Olive Poed, wife of Mr. Frank Peed, son of O. H. Peed of this city. Funeral services were held at 3 p.m. Friday, March 14th in the First Christian church Bakersfield. Services conducted by the pastor, Rev. Frank W. Zook. Text from 23d Palm. Interment was in Bakersfield city cemetery. PROSPECTIVE Harbor C. F. Lea, California, and Federick Hicks, New York, are members of the Rivers and Harbors Committee, who were in the party and they were deeply impressed with the bay. "There is one of the finest prospective harbors I have ever seen," declared Mr. Hicks. "The arer of possible development for safe anchorage is almost unlimited, and the landlocked feature of the bay makes it an admirable site for the harbor. "From what I am told, the citizens of Newport Beach are doing a most commendable work that should in time bring assistance from the government. The tidelands can be made a valuable asset to the harbor and county. They are so situated that they ban be built up for industrial enterprises, and when you develop these industries and get a little shipping to going, you should have little difficulty in getting government assistance. Keep Record of Boats "My advice would be to keep a record of fishing boats that enter and discharge their cargoes in the harbor, keep a record of the pleasure craft in the harbor, and finally, if you can develop a little lumber business, your battle will have been won." "The Pacific coast has a great future before it in the way of development of local and foreign shipping and there are going to be splendid opportunities for advancing harbor opportunities for advancing harbor projects," declared C. F. Lea, the other member of the rivers and harbors committee. "It is the policy of the committee to assist those who first help themselves and demonstrate their faith in their project by taking the initiative in spending money toward the development of a harbor. I am very deeply impressed with the spirit of the people of Newport Beach and the fact that a city with a population of 1200 has voted bonds in the amount of $240,000 evidences the faith of the people in the project. If County Helps "If the county comes to the assistance of the project and votes the bonds proposed, it would prove a big INFLUENZA VICTIM Died of influenza-pneumonia at Bakersfield, Calif. 5 p.m., March 12, 1819, Mrs. Olive Peed, wife of Mr. Frank Peed, son of Q.

I can make no promises as to what the Rivers' and Harbors Committee might do in case an appropriation was asked later, for I may not be a member of the committee and may not even be in congress when the matter comes before it. "I can say, however, when definite results are shown from improvements made by the city and county, the prospects for assistance will be ten times better than they are at the present time.

Merit is what counts now, and will count more in the future than it ever has in the past." Going After Appropriation "I am going to get recognition for this harbor, and that before I leave Congress," said Congressman Kettner. "The site has more merit than the average offer and the fine spirit of the people of Newport Beach and the general support given the project by the prominent men of Orange-co., are factors that should aid materially in getting an appropriation.
