The Standard Oil Co. holds five leases on the land of the Huntington Beach Co., designated as A, B, C, D and E kases.

There are now 23 companies represented in the field, and there are 13 other companies holding leases which will no doubt start operations in the near future. There may also be some other companies holding leases which have not yet been made public. The water problem, which is always more or less troublesome in all fields, remains an unsolved one up to date in this field, and may continue to be a barrier in the way of production for some time in certain sections of the district, where the level at which the water should be shut off is undecided. This condition, however, does not in any way effect the ultimate success of all the wells where unsuccessful attempts have been made to shut off the water, as it is only a matter of finding the proper level where casing should be set to the best advantage. Standard Oil Co. A-4, north of Reservoir Hill, and west of Westminster road, came in Wednesday afternoon at 1:35, with an initial flow estimated at from 1.600 to 2,000 barrels, being the biggest well in the field except Bolas Chica No. 1. The work of installing the fittings on this well was completed Tuesday evening and the process of bailing it in started soon afterwards, and about noon Wednesday some of those in charge began to get discouraged, saying they could not understand why the big gasser did not respond to the invitation to come in when so persistently invited to do so but soon afterwards when the bailer left the casing the bill, water and mud spouted up over the casing 25 or 30 feet. The valve was quickly closed, which turned the flow out through the three pipes running toward the sump hole. After flowing for about an hour the hole sanded up, and the bailer was again run in. After a few trips the oil and water shot out through the flow pipes with great force, the flow being by heads of about five minutes' duration. The flow from 7 to 11 a.m. Thursday was almost continuous, and the water was cleaning out, there being only about 30 per cent water and less than one per cent sand. The gas pressure has not been as heavy as expected. Thursday noon only about 50 pounds had been registered. The flow is through a 1-1-4 inch flow plug. This well is 3130 feet and was cemented twice at 2340 feet and 2852. The choir of the Methodist White Temple will give a sacred concert of "Shelley" compositions Monday evening. There will be seven chorus numbers by the famous writer of hymns and anthems, the solo parts to be taken by members of the choir. Mr. Maurice Phillips of Santa Ana well known to music lovers of Anaheim as the possessor of a wonderful bass voice will appear on the program in the following numbers: "The Earth Is the Lord's" (Lynnes); "Fear Not Ye Oh Israel" (Buck); "The Lord Is My Light" (Allitsen); "Consider and Hear Me" (Wooler). This concert is for the general public to whom a cordial invitation is extended. There will be no admission charge, but a free-will offering will be taken. COURT AND ATTORNEY CLASH IN LAND SUIT A brief tilt occurred between Superior Judge West and Claude Andrews, attorney for Dana Burks, Los Angeles realty man, when Judge West granted a motion for a non-suit in the case of Burks against Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Bronson to compel the latter to sell him a lot on which he alleged he had an option: "Well, Judge! I'll have the pleasure of reversing you in the Appellate court," said Andrews, his face flushed. "All right, that is your privilege," said Judge West. "I if I were not aware of your right to take the case to a higher court I would thank you for informing me." Burks asserted that through an agent, a man named Lewis, he had paid Mrs. Bronson $5 as an option on the lot. He further alleged that she refused to part with the property after learning that an oil company was prospecting for oil in the vicinity. COOTIES MAKE WAR UPON BLACK SCALE One thousand black scale "cooties" have been released by the La Habra Citrus Assn. on the R. B. Warne and D. J. Bastanchury ranches near La Habra.

WATER CO-MAKES MONEY The Garden Grove City Water Co. reports to the Railroad Commission for the year 1920 that its operating revenue was $211.79; operating expenses $149.95 giving a net operating revenue of $611.84. Interest, rent and other deductions totaled $363.13. The net corporate income for the year was $248.71. The deficit at the beginning of the year amounted to $760.48. The accumulated deficit at the end of the year amounted to $511.77. whether the water has been disposed of or not. This is scheduled as a large producer when the water has been eliminated, and there is no doubt but what Supt. J. W. Barrett and his assistants will have this well on production in the near future. A-5 and A-6 are still drilling, about 2850 and 2500 feet respectively, with a fine showing in 6 and comparatively light in 5, for some unexpected reason. The mud in A-5 now looks something like that in the Newland well. A-7 is cemented, but this will probably be drilled out before next report. A-8 is drilling at between 1700 and 1800 feet, and will likely set casing soon. The work of rigging up D-1 and E-1, at Twenty-third and Mansion and Twenty-third and Edgware, is progressing rapidly, and the drills will soon be rotating at each of these locations. The derrick and housings have been completed for B-2, at about Thirty-eighth and Palm, were these streets on the map. If it's from Witman's, it's good!

The information that the major portion of one of the big problems facing So. Calif. ranchers had been solved was contained in a statement issued in Los Angeles by E. H. Hancock, district superintendent of the public employment bureau, who said that ranchers are in better condition as to availability of labor than they have been for five years. According to Hancock, the people who during the war turned away from the ranches are now coming back to the work as their natural pursuit. He states that there are more applications for places on ranches this spring than any time since 1915. "We are going to be able to take care of the ranchers in good shape this year," said Hancock. "Labor has been the big problem in agriculture since the war started, but this year ranchers do not need to worry on that score." The Farm Bureau, which will act as the local branch of the public employment bureau of the state, in Los Angeles, will be able to furnish men in small or large lots, up to a trainload if necessary, according to H. E. Wahlberg, county farm advisor. Frank Musselman, of the Palace Employment agency, Santa Ana, says that he anticipates no labor shortage this year. There is 35 times as much labor available as there was two or three months ago, according to Musselman who also states that wages have stabilized. Farm teamsters are getting from $2 to $2.25 a day and board now in Orange-co and this is more than many of these men could make in the city, he says. 17-YEAR $77 Offer $26,000 Fleeing CHICAGO nation today boy, carrylery bonds er than a gling a ricket lie Dalton, walked out company he der his arm creased his two days at Every man added to fee bank officials not be recouched private country we for the mil Willie hther's boy, as the head father's de gave him than she d and otherw DEATH OF BENTON IS UNAVOIDABLE That George A.

ARREST EXPECTED IN MURDER PUZZLE SOON LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26—Three women, one of whom is "Flo," a well known character of the underworld, are being trailed today as suspects in the Greenbaum murder mystery. Information leading to this woman was uncovered when Deputy Sheriff Fox was told by employees of the Western Customing company that on Wednesday, the day of Greenbaum’s tragic trip, the murdered pawnbroker was in their place of business and told them he had a date to take a woman to San Bernardino. Greenbaum waited two hours, and when it was evident that the woman with whom he had a date would not show up, he remarked, "I guess I’ll have to pick up Flo and take her with me," and then went out. FRANK SCHACHT SUCCUMBES At an early hour this morning, Frank Schacht, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis F. Schacht, of the Ball-rd., and beloved husband of Bernice Cole Schacht, passed away at the home of his parents. His health began to fall but a few weeks ago, and with his wife, he came from their home in Napa, Calif., to Anaheim in the hopes that the change in climate would be beneficial. Even yesterday morning he was sitting out in the yard, enjoying the bright, warm sunshine, and last evening was in the family circle, but this morning the death angel called, and his spirit answered the summons to that "Great Beyond." He was born in Anaheim, February 10th, 1897, and was 24 years of age. He received his early education in the schools of Anaheim, later attended the Anaheim high school, from which he graduated in 1915. He was valedictorian of the class, and will be remembered as one of the brightest and most popular members. He was popular in all debating contests, as well as on the athletic field. Following his grad. Frank Musselman, of the Palace Employment agency, Santa Ana, says that he anticipates no labor shortage this year. There is 35 times as much labor available as there was two or three months ago, according to Musselman who also states that wages have stabilized. Farm teamsters are getting from $2 to $2.25 a day and board now in Orange-co and this is more than many of these men could make in the city, he says. REPAIRING SCHOOL BUS M. L. Scale, driver of the bus for the Anaheim grammar school, announced today the bus was undergoing repairs and would not be available for hauling pubils Monday but that it would be back on schedule Tuesday. Arrangements were made this afternoon to make use of a high school bus which will make the rounds Monday morning about half an hour later than usual. $150,000 Paid for Lease Next Plac.-Rich. Central The Placentia Richfield Central Oil Co. has deferred development work the last two months in both Placentia and Huntington Beach fields where eight valuable leases are held by that company. On the Wood-Harmon lease, north east of Reservoir Hill at Huntington Beach, jumber is on the ground for the erection of a derrick, but development will not be commenced until the cement is drilled out of a well within 100 feet of this lease. The drilling out process will commence within a few days. Close to two other of the company’s leases in this field, one well is standing cemented, and another well is gold down. It appears to be the policy of the officers of the company to delay action in drilling until they “Know” that oil is under their leases. One of the big companies has just paid $150,000 for a lease on 17 1-2 acres that lies just across the street from a 47 1-2 acres lease of the Placentia Richfield Central Oil Company at Richfield. This sets a ton price for oil leases in the Richfield oil field, and greatly enhances the value of the leases held by the company, and the stockholder. The management expect to seek operations at Huntington Beach within the next thirty days.

Keep It That Way! 17-YEAR-OLD BOY GETS $772,000 LIBERTY BONDS Offer $26,000 for Capture of Youth Fleeing in Rickety Ford Automobile. CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—Police of the nation today sought a 17-year-old boy, carrying $772,000 worth of liberty bonds in a satchel slightly larger than a girl's vanity case and driving a rickety Ford automobile. Willie Dalton, the "mamma's pet," who walked out of the Northern Trust company here with the securities under his arm on Thursday, had increased his lead on his pursuers to two days at noon today. Every minute the boy was free added to fears of the authorities and bank officials that the bonds would not be recovered. They feared the youth might burn or bury them, be held up and robbed, or lose them in his flight. Spurred by the large reward for the recovery of the bonds and the boy's capture—$26,000—the greatest private detective agencies of the country were enlisted in the search for the missing bank clerk. Willie had always been his mother's boy. She had regarded him as the head of the family since his father's death eight years ago. She gave him more spending money than she did her other two children and otherwise pampered him. SALEM HOLDS BEST REVIVAL IN YEARS 20 H. S.

Junior running broad jump — SALEM HOLDS BEST REVIVAL IN YEARS Salem Evangelical church has been enjoying one of the very best revival meetings, according to the statement of several members, which has been held here in several years. The attendance of the members and others has been good and increasing, as the meetings progress. There has been evidence of spiritual awakening and purposeful zeal among the members. Evangelist Weatherwax spoke last night on "Jesus Christ, the Churches Sanctifier." The attendance was large and the meeting tense with interest. Almost the entire congregation witnessed their desire to be completely Christ's, so they may be entirely kept and directed by Christ. The evangelist said that the sinner who rejects Christ persistently on his mad rush down the slimy road to hell, must splash thru the crimson blood of the Savior, climb over the kneeling, praying mother, slap the preacher in the face, brush aside uncouthly the pleading church, press his way thru the immeasurable pressure of living testimonies of free and genuine salvation, scornfully laugh at heaven's loving welcome, all to the end of spending eternity in the writhing of hell, having for his companions, the devil, all lost angels, and the off-scourings of the earth of all generations. And this, a country never intended for him, but chosen and prepared for by him. The evangelist says: "The Bible tells us that hell was prepared for the devil and his angels. Oh, my friends, don't send your soul to that sunken country. Hell: God made Heaven for the eternal home of all men. "But some will not have it that way. Every provision has been made and completed for every man, woman and child. You may realize on it, if you will. Christ has become our sanctifier. 'The blood of Jesus cleanseth from all sin.' Walk in the Light as He is in the Light." I give you eternal life, and no man shall pluck you out of my hand," says Jesus. Ah, friend, here is full salvation, from the pain and power of sin, and full assurance of security from falling. Take it, it is yours by the claiming." Evangelist Weatherwax will speak Sunday morning on "Jesus Only," and in the evening, "A Call to Judgment." He will address the Sunday school at 10:30. Sunday evening closes the special meetings. Mr. Weatherwax will open his next meeting at Napa, Cal. The program started at 1:30 with the races. 50-yard dash — Hurley, Yorba first; Davis, Fullerton, second; Fagley, third. 75-yard dash — Clayes, Anaheim first; Johnson, Fullerton, second; Cannon, third. Bugling contest—Worz, Orange first; Viera, Santa Ana, second; Clabaugh, Anaheim, third. Senior running broad jump — Johnson, Fullerton, first; Clayton, Orange, second; Burnison, Yorba third. Junior running broad jump — Bradley, Santa Ann, first; Viera, Santa Ana, second; Ault, Santa Ana, third. Dressing contest—Underhill, Santa Ana, first; Worz, Orange, second; Fitzgibbons, Anaheim, third. At this time Santa Ana had the most points, Orange, second, and Anaheim, third.
