News of Fullerton THE EARTH' PRINTS TALE OF FULLERTON Fullerton receives a half-page writeup in the current issue of "The Earth," a monthly magazine published by the Santa Fe railroad and given a wide distribution throughout the east and middle west by the railroad. The article was written by Secretary Wilber, of the Board of Trade, and it is accompanied by a cut showing a typical residence street. The story follows: Fullerton is the richest little city in the county of Orange, state of California. And the county of Orange is the richest in the state of California. Fullerton has only about 6000 population, yet the assessed valuation—less than the actual, mind you—is $22,000,000 for the year 1920. This is said to be a record for the world. The Pacific ocean is 15 miles to the west, and the foothills and mountains are only a few miles to the northwest. The main industry is the raising of oranges, lemons, walnuts, and all kinds of vegetables. Seven hundred and sixty carloads of oranges, or 325,000 boxes of packed fruit were shipped out of here last year. One hundred cars of English walnuts were also sent out. This district is the main oil, producing district in the entire state. The daily production of the fields in this section is about 200,000 barrels, and new wells are opening every few days. The gas supply is ample, supplying all important centers in this neighborhood. The oil men receive a minimum of $5 a day. The city has six churches, many clubs and lodges, a Board of Trade that is up-to-the-second in all civic matters, a high school of 16 separate buildings, second to none of its character in the country; a junior college and large grammar school. Fullerton has 18 miles of paved streets and the city is connected in every direction with macadamized roads. The hospital, Carnegie library, four banks and other institutions are a credit to a city ten times as large. The city tax rate is only 90 cents per $100 and the tax rate for all purposes is only $2.62—a figure that should appeal to everyone. The climatic conditions are semi-tropical. Health conditions are excellent. The rainfall averages 12 inches. AMBULANCE BUSY NEW YEAR'S J. E. Scale. Fullerton undertaker, spent his second anniversary at his office New Year's day looking out for accident calls. The morning passed quietly but in the evening his "on-the-job" habit became an asset since in his big motor ambulance, he was called upon to visit a number of wrecks, taking the victims to nearby hospitals. He declares he is sure that New Year's is a day that doctors and undertakers are needed at home. Mr. Seale was discharged from the army on Christmas day two years ago and one week later on New Year's day opened his present business establishment on East Wilshire-ave, just off Sparda-rd.

Martens, representative of Soviet Russia in the U.S., today surrendered himself to the department of labor for deportation. THREE NEW RIGS AT HUNTINGTON BEACH (Huntington Beach Field) The activity in the oil field is speeding up with each week, and there are three new rigs in course of construction by the Standard, Texas Holding Co. and Placentia-Richfield Central Oil Co., and the indications are that there will be many more wells started in the near future. The headliner on the standard program, No. 3-A, did not hold the stage very long, as it came in like a lion and went out like a lamb. Great preparations were made to hold this well in check and not have another blow-out as at the Bolisa Chica. The flow was capped down to a 3-inch flow plug, and oil and gas shot thru this small opening like water thru the nozzle on a fire hose, and all appeared lovely; but the well went "on the blink" in a few hours, and it was found that the water had rushed in and drowned the flow of oil, and it ceased entirely. It has been decided to perforate the casing and recemment the hole, consequently it will be two weeks or more before the well is again on production. There has been considerable talk about this being a salt water well. The appearance of salt water does not have any more significance than does fresh water, as there is more or less salt water found in most of the oil fields. It now appears that the water has broken thru the cement, where the string of 8-inch casing was set, and this casing will be performed for other purposes. LOCET REALITY Co., composed of B. F. Pinson and H. B. Thurber. The property, which is just south of the Rialto theatre, is now occupied by the Albert A. Sitton garage and is composed of a 75-foot frontage and a depth of 125 feet. The building goes, however to a depth of only 115 feet. Mr. Davies contemplates the remodeling of the building and its conversion into a merchandise establishment at the end of the present lease which will run two years. The deal involved about $26,000. All the large business block deals of the past year have been handled by Mr. Pinson, or thru his efforts. SURVEY OF CURRENT EVENTS C. C. Culp, of the Houser Bible class, made his sudden appearance yesterday in the role of intelligence officer, discussing and making a rapid-fire survey of the most important current events. He discussed d'Annunzio and Flume, declaring the poet says it is his intention to come to So. Cal. A committee of seven members was appointed to prepare rapid-fire reviews of the world's history each week. ELABORATE DINNER-DANCE An elaborate dinner was served to the members of the Fullerton club at the club rooms over the Rialto theater. The community nursery association met this afternoon at the Fullerton city hall. The annual reports was given. Griffith Jones, Los Angeles attorney, will be in Fullerton next week, when he will explain the science of chiropractry. There will be an installation of officers for Fullerton chapter of the Royal Arch Masons at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The Fullerton high and grammar schools opened again today following the holiday season, which began Dec. 17, and most of the pupils are back at work. Mrs. H. C. Harrington entertained a group of friends from Los Angeles, Whittier and Fullerton in an all-day entertainment at her home on East Chapman-ave Friday. G. E. Puckett, who recently lost his fingers in a sausage grinder, is recovering at the Fullerton general hospital. It was feared for awhile blood poisoning would result, but he is now said to be out of danger. The Fullerton junior college is preparing for the presentation "Come Out of the Kitchen," at 8 o'clock on the evening of Jan. 14, at the high school, auditorium, and wonderful talent will be exploited in the play; it is declared. There is a $90 royalty. An eight-inch gong has been installed in rushed in and drowned the flow of oil, and it ceased entirely. It has been decided to perforate the casing and recomment the hole, consequently it will be two weeks or more before the well is again on production. There has been considerable talk about this being a salt water well. The appearance of salt water does not have any more significance than does fresh water, as there is more or less salt water found in most of the oil fields. It now appears that the water has broken thru the cement, where the string of 5-inch casing was set, and this casing will be perforated and cement run in, in an attempt to make the hole dry. The flow is estimated at between 400 and 500 barrels per day while the oil flowed. It has been found that the casing in Bolsa Chica No. 1 collapsed under the terrific gas pressure, and this portion of it will be sidetracked by drilling the hole below that level with rotary tools, and the job may extend over several weeks, so that it may be some time before this well is again in the lime light. The chief attraction of the field just now is 1-B, south of Reservoir Hill, which is being drilled in with four-inch drill pipe and a 6-inch bit.

W RIGS AT TON BEACH (Beach Field) In the oil field is cach week, and w rigs in course of the Standard, Texas Placentia-Richfield and the indications will be many more in the near future. The standard pronot hold the stage name in like a lion like a lamb. Great made to hold this not have another Bolsa Chica. Apped down to a %- d oil and gas shot opening like water a fire hose, and y; but the well in a few hours, that the water had wrown the flow of entirely. Lided to perforate meetment the hole, it be two weeks or all is again on promas been considerbeing a salt waturance of salt water any more signififresh water, as salt water found fields. It now apher has broken thru the string of 8t, and this casing well looks more like the Bolsa Chica than any of its companions, and if the showing continues it will undoubtedly be a heavy producer. No. 5-A is being prepared for the cement, and is about 2000 feet deep. No. 6-A is drilling at about 1700 feet. No. 7-A is rigging up and will be ready to go in a few days. This is the offest well to Bolsa Chica No. 1, and is about 400 feet southeast. Bolsa No. 2 is rigging and will soon be ready to spud in. Piling is being driven for the derrick of Bolsa No. 3 and boilers are being set to be used by the two rigs jointly. But little has been done at the site of No. 8-A, southwest of Bolsa. No. 4-A is drilling at about 2400 feet in sandy shale, and is likely to cement again soon. MID-CENTRAL MAKES FINE SHOWING OF OIL Much interest was manifest yesterday at Huntington Beach when the Mid-Central's drill at 3100 feet went into brown shale. Experienced oil men say no better indications could be had, and coming as it does at this depth bears out the predictions of geologists and others who have been closely watching this well. Before going into the brown shale drilling has been in black oil carrying sand. Supt. R. W. Edens is very optimistic and is confident that the Mid-Central is going to be a big producer. Mr. Edens also states that in the future as in the past every precaution will be taken that the "hole" shall be kept in good condition, as it is better to take a few days longer and have a satisfactory job than to hurry it thru and take chances. Those who visited the well yesterday were all of the opinion that the showings were far better than at any other time. LOOT LA HABRA HOME WITH FAMILY AWAY The residence of A. W. McPherson, of La Habra, was burglarized sometime during the past week while the family was away from home over the holidays. The burglars looted the house of woolen blankets, one pair of blue double blankets, one pair of white double blankets with a pink stripe, and a number of towels, pillow cases, sheets, and two ladies' coats.
