News of Fullerton FULLERTON EXPECTS BUSINESS BLDG. BOOM A building boom in Fullerton's down town district is one of the predictions made for the near future. During the past two years whole streets of residences have sprung up and there are entire sections of bungalows where two years ago there were walnut orchards but the construction of business blocks has not kept pace. Altho no official announcement has yet been made, there is good reason to believe the Edison Co. will soon begin the erection of a building to accommodate the new district which has been formed, with Fullerton as headquarters. It is said the Odd Fellows contemplate a new building on the E. Commonwealth property when the lease on their present hall expires. The recent purchase of the Sitton garage building by R. T. Davies is said to foreshadow its conversion into store buildings and Mr. Sitton has intimated that new quarters on Commonwealth for his business is by no means an impossibility. It is also possible that Mr. Davies will add another story to his new property. It is also a possibility that Banker Smith may add a story or two to the Central garage building which he purchased a year or so ago. Mr. Chapman is ready to go ahead with the building for the men's Bible clauses and he has also expressed the intention of building on his fine Spadra-ave property, across from the city hall, when satisfactory arrangements are made with a prospective tenant. These are but a few of the building prospects said to be now in sight. PLAN ORGANIZATION OF COMMUNITY PLAYE Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bruecker are interested in organizing a community company of players for Fullerton but are waiting for a response to their invitation to others to express their views on the organization of such a company. Many other cities have them and there is no reason why Fullerton should not, it is pointed out. SPEND SUNDAY IN SNOW W. L. Benchley, Frank Benchley, C. C.

A burlesque debate was held at the Fullerton high school yesterday on "Resolved, that railroad rates would be reduced in the U.S. If women would wear bone hair-pin in their hair instead of steel ones." Virgil Shaw took the affirmative, declaring that the steel used by women as hairpins would build a lot of railway tracks and thus reduce rates. In taking the negative, Talbot Bielefeld stated that women were bone-headed enough without any bone hairpins. There were two judges and one that Bielefeld was right while the other favored "the dear ladies," so it was officially declared that a judge divided against himself cannot stand, nor will his decisions. Sweaters were distributed yesterday to 13 members of the football team.

FOUR NEW RIGS AT HUNTINGTON BEACH (Huntington Beach Field) There has been material delivered on the ground for four new rigs since last report, being The Petroleum Co., No. 1, C. J. Porter community, east of Main street at the end of the pavement. This lease comprises about three acres. The Petroleum Midway Co., Ltd, has some materials, including boilers, on the Ray Walker community, east of Main street and south of Sevehteenth street. The lease is made up of several lots, including the homes of Earl Farrar and Frank Linder, about eight acres altogether. The Blue Shale Oil and Mining Co. will drill on lots 4 to 9, in block 1601, east of the railroad, at Alabama and Oswego streets. The Huntington Crude Oil and Refining Company is constructing a rig on the 20-acre home place of L. E. VanWinkle, on the boulevard northwest of the cemetery. The well will be drilled over on the west side of the land. The work will be in charge of the Orange County Drilling Co., operated by R. W. Edens, which indicates that there will soon be a new test well in the field, as Mr. Edens has a good organization, which has hit the ball regularly and make short work of an oil well. The work of reclaiming the famous Bolsa Chica well No. 1 continues but it will probably be some time before it is again on production. Bolsa Chica No. 2 is about rigged up, and piling have been driven for Bolsa No. 3, these rigs being a short distance northeast and northwest of the gusher. The production of No. A-1, the original test well, on the Huntington Beach Co. lease, has dropped to less than 50 barrels; and A-2, which came in at more than 1000 barrels daily. No. 2 still throws up considerable terme a bone dry well, as no water New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price tle while ago it was that the favorite joke on the people who wanted women to vote was the suggestion of women on juries! "Who'd want to be tried by a jury of women?" scoffed the secoffers. And now here come a man who pleads that his" constitutional rights" have been withheld because no woman was put on the jury which is to try him for robbery and manslaughter. Frank L. James is his name, appropriately reminds cent in such connection. But how ever hasty he may have been with his shotgun, he knows that woman's place it not entirely in the home. The judge refused to consider his protest Republican women of New York are going studiously to work to prepare for their future political partition. And they are beginning taking up for study present conditions in the New York police department. It is the thing to do, of course, and necessary. But an unbiased onlooker would say that it might well coincide with the sort of interest that sends little Jimmy or Willie to the movie successors of Dead Eye Dick. The revival of "Erminile," with Do Wolf Hopper and Francis Wilson both in it, had been definitely set for Jan. 3. in the Park theatre. One of the piano instructors at the Music School Settlement recently was consulted by a young man who desired a list of "good piano duets." Just what kind of music do you want? asked the instructor. "How difficult? Classical? Operatic? How want some duets," the young man explained, "to play with a young lady I want to marry. I leave it to you."

Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Jacobson, who were recently quietly married at Los Angeles, were given a surprise kitchen shower at their home Wednesday night by Fullerton friends. Arrangements are being made for the annual meeting of the Fullerton board of trade next Wednesday, when annual officers will be elected. Harry Lee Wilber sent out notices to the members today. G. W. Babblington, Bragg Smith and R. L. Davis have purchased half acre in the La Habra Home acres tract through Sutherland Realty Co. Each purchaser has voiced his intention of building on his property. Everything is all set for a good game at Fullerton ball park tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Glen-Callan, manager of the Fullerton Merchants, stated this afternoon. The game will be one of the best of the season to date, he stated, and one that no fan can afford to miss. E. A. Norman, who ran his car in front of the Fullerton fire truck Wednesday when the first fire alarm of the year was turned in, was arraigned before Judge French and fined $3 and sentenced to 30 days in the county jail. The sentence was suspended pending good behavior. Yesterday the Wickersheim Implement Co. sold and delivered Ford touring cars to H. L.

Bolsa Chica No. 2 is about rigged up, and piling have been driven for Bolsa No. 3, these rigs being a short distance northeast and northwest of the gusher. The production of No. A-1, the original test well on the Huntington Beach Co. lease, has dropped to less than 50 barrels; and A-2, which came in at more than 1000 barrels daily. No. 2 still throws up considerable termed a bone dry well, as no water turmed a bone dry well, as no water comes up with the oil. A-3 is being prepared for another cementing job, and it will be two or three weeks before it is given another chance. A-4, the offset well at Westminster road, north of Reservoir Hill, is drilling at about 2700 feet, and does not yet appear to have tapped the oil sands. There is a sharp dip in the sands between Nos. 1 and 2 and No. 4, as No. 4 is more than 700 feet deeper than where the casing was set in the first wells. A-5 stands cemented, with a string of 8-inch casing in the hole, and is approximately 2000 feet deep. A-6 is going down rapidly and will be ready to set casing in a few days. The hole is now about 1900 feet deep. A-7 was spudded in Sunday and the work of drilling an offset to the Bolsa Chica is going along at high speed. This well is about 400 feet southeast of the big gusher and on the original lease taken from the Huntington Beach Co., known in numbering the wells as A lease, and the second lease being designated as B lease. But little has been done at the site for A-8. The work of drilling in B-1, south of Reservoir Hill, continues, and the prospects for a big sputter continues flattering. The derzick has been completed for No. 1, Jones community, Tract 80, and the work of rigging up is going forward. The drillers are making but little progress at Torrance No. 1, on account of the extremely hard sandy formation, which cuts the bits so rapidly that most of the time is spent in coming out and going in the hole. This well is between 3600 and 3700 feet deep. A string of 10-inch casing was set Monday at the Vista Del Mar and the new hole stands cemented; consequently it will be about two weeks before the work of drilling in this well starts, providing the water shut-off is a success. There has been but little progress at this location past week. Good progress is being made at Well No. 1, Obarr-Seely-Houston-Baxter lease, and if continued the hole will likely be spudded in in about two days. The cement plug was drilled out of the Surf well, on the lowlands east of the city, Sunday, with cable tools, and pronounced dry Monday by Deputy Inspector S. S. Perry, and on The revival of "Erminie," with De Wolf Hopper and Francis Wilson both in it, had been definitely set for Jan. 3 in the Park theatre.

The other day, the cornerstone was laid of the new building for the First National bank in New Jersey and among the things placed in the stone of comparatively moderate value, was a bottle of Scotch whiskey—full quart. The professional Children's School will produce "The Princess Winome," "The Dancing Dolls," and "The Adventures of Lady Ursala," at the Longacre theatre during holiday week. The performances will all be matteins. Pictures posed by Ben All Haggin will also be seen. The "Puritan Parades" which are giving noon-day demonstrations of some of our ancestral woes are not entirely filled with the Christmas spirit. Tableaux of sad Puritans, held in stocks because they kissed their wives on Sunday, others at the whipping post for whistling on that day, and more happy scenes of the same sort are being paraded thru the shopping and busy centers each noon day, probably to show us what the New Year may have in store for us. The exhibition of painters of Madonnas which is put on view at this season of the year at the Ehrich galleryes, contains several this year which they have not shown before. The Nativity of Cornelius Van Amsterdam is one, and another is the early Pisan Madonna and Child, centered in a surrounding host of saints, and the Adoration of Shepherds, in sunburst of black and gold. It's awful wat a criminal love of stimulants will make of one! We have read de liqueur thieves, and of men and women who would lie and even kill for opium or heroin. But the latest is the Charlotte Russe fiend. Opiates and strong drink have no temptation for Joe Fox, but creamy, foamy Charlotte Russes are more than he can withstand. So fancy his situation when he saw a wagonLOAD — a WRUSES, standing on the corner, unattended. The consequences meant nothing to him. He jumped aboard and drove desperately away. When the pastry company's driver caught him and he was taken to the police court, it was discovered that so costly have pastries become that he had to be charged with grand larceny."

The new hole stands cemented; consequently it will be about two weeks before the work of drilling in this well starts, providing the water shut-off is a success. There has been but little progress at this location the past week. Good progress is being made at Well No. 1, Obarr-Seely-Houston-Baxter lease, and if continued the hole will likely be spudded in in about two days. The cement plug was drilled out of the Surf well, on the lowlands cast of the city, Sunday, with cable tools, and pronounced dry Monday by Deputy Inspector S. S. Perry, and on Wednesday the hole was almost full of a heavy, black oil of about 14 or 15 gravity, something entirely foreign to any other showing in the field to date, and resembling to some extent the tar that is found in the Newport wells. There appears to be plenty of this oil for a big commercial well, but the quantity of course remains to be determined by an actual pumping test, as so far there is but little gas pressure evident, as compared with other wells that have been drilled on the high ground. This takes off the veil from this well that has so long worried many persons interested in the field, and proves up the territory between the Bolsa Chica and this well, therefore insuring a big field of actual proven ground. The opinion has been expressed that the oil from this well will be lighter after the well comes in. This well is about 3450 deep. The well being drilled on the W.T. Newland ranch by the Union Oil Co., still holds the center of the stage in the oil show. Indications are that the pay streak will soon be located, the drill being in a heavy brown shale carrying considerable gas and some oil. This well is between 3350 and 3400 feet deep, and the work is progressing slowly owing to the fact that samples are being taken at frequent intervals, and the drill rotates until the desired sample comes up. There have been a large number occupying seats in the anxious row on account of this well, and they can now get up and stretch themselves and get ready for the fireworks when this well comes in. Well No. 1, Delingno community, was spudded in late Thursday and the drill is on the way to the oil sands that made the Bolsa Chica famous. K. A. Hoxey, who has been in charge of the Newland well as driller, has now been promoted to field superintendent for the Union Oil Co.

Several years ago the Birch Off Co. protested an assessment fixed by County Assessor James Sleeper. The board of supervisors sustained the assessment. Birch paid his taxes under protest, and brot suit, alleging an unfair assessment. That case is still pending in the supreme court. Each year since then Birch has fought his assessment and has gone into court in an effort to reduce his taxes. One of these cases came before Judge Williams. In that case Birch alleged that his company's land should have been assessed for $30,-240 instead of $408,975. Williams had been on the bench but a short time. Previous to going on the bench, he was attorney for some 14 or 15 men and women who at one time were stockholders in the Menges Oil Co. Their stock was bought by Birch just before the company brot in at Brea a gusher that later became famous. Williams represents the plaintiffs in an action against Birch in which damages were sought on the allegation that Birch had withheld from stockholders information that he should have given them. The plaintiffs lost their case. Birch wanted the case moved to Los Angeles. He alleged that Judge Williams was prejudiced. The case went to the supreme court, where it was held that there was no similarity between the oil stock case and the tax case. It was found that Judge Williams was in a position to try the case without prejudice. In this action the county was represented by L. A. West, who was then district attorney. THREE MARRIAGES, 1 DIVORCE PRESNO, Jan. 8—For every three marriages in Fresno-co in 1920 there was one divorce, according to county clerk Barnwell. During the year there was a total of 1692 marriages. These were offset by 527 divorce actions. It was estimated that the 527 divorces cost almost ten times as much as the 1692 marriages.
