Friday, March 18, 1921 THE ORANGE STANDARD OIL CO. “LUCKY” AT BEACH When will somebody else beside the Standard Oil Co. and the Huntington Beach Co. get a “lookin’ at the great oil lake that underlies an unbounded area in and around Huntington Beach? For months now derricks have been rising from hillock and level plain. Big operators have been at work. Companies, too, that have sprung up in a night, as a derrick does in a week, have been selling their earth.

But up to today, nobody is drawing any oil or getting it by spouting—nobody but the Standard. And all the Standard's operations have been on land owned by the Huntington Beach Co. and leased on a percentage basis to the Standard. And it seems that most of the stock in the Huntington Beach Co. is owned by non-residents of Orange co. There is one stockholder, however, who is in on the oil prosperity that is on hand for the Huntington Beach Co. That one stockholder is Col. S. H. Finley of Santa Ana. Thruout the lean years, Col. Finley has held on to his stock. Possibly he held on a part of the time because he couldn't let loose. The colonel has not been interviewed on the subject, but it appears that he is the one original Huntington Beach townsite promoter who still has a share in the flow of oil. But within a month the wealth that everybody firmly believes is due to be mined from far beneath the greensward will begin to spread itself out. There will be more of it—and quite a lot of it, no doubt—coming to John D. Rockefeller and the others who pay income taxes on dividend checks from the Standard, and there will be no small amount, probably, coming to the Huntington Beach Co. But while they are getting theirs, there will be others who will also be getting a pocketful, too. At least, that is the way the field sizes up today. TO BUILD UP MAIN JETTY AT HARBOR Building up of the main jetty at the entrance to Newport harbor, a project that has been hanging fire for more than six months since Newport Beach voted a bond issue of $50,000 for the purpose, will be carried forward immediately and should be completed by early summer (according to an agreement entered into at the regular weekly meeting of the harbor commission. Present at the meeting were Contractor Ledbetter, Harbor Commissioners Shaw, Wallace, Watson and Armitage, Engineers Loeds and Barnard, and a committee appointed from the Newport city council, consisting of Councilmen J. P. Greeley, Conrad Ritcher and George P. Wilson and Atty. Clyde Bishop, H. L. Sherman and Al Dickson. As a result of the discussion, the city of Newport Beach agrees to contract with Ledbetter for material and labor to be used in raising the jetty, which was battered down by storms last year, so far as the city's bond issue of $50,000 will go. This will not complete the work as planned, however, but the project is to be completed. If the county has any rock left over from the jetty extension work, by the diversion of a few hundred tons of county rock to the re-building job. It is expected that a depth of 22 feet will be reached before the county's extension reaches the 200-foot date last year.

Tests for water shut-off 25, compared with 24 previous week; yearly total to date 297; tototal to same date last year. But within a month the wealth that everybody firmly believes is due to be mined from far beneath the greensward will begin to spread itself out. There will be more of it—and quite a lot of it, no doubt—coming to John D. Rockefeller and the others who pay income taxes on dividend checks from the Standard, and there will be no small amount, probably coming to the Huntington Beach Co. But while they are getting theirs, there will be others who will also be getting a pocketful, too. At least, that is the way the field sizes up today. Within the next month, ten or a dozen wells ought to be brot in. The word "ought" is used adversely. There are a number of wells down to oil sand, down to where the real stuff lies waiting for the probe. Buf getting down to oil sand seems to be the least of the driller's troubles at Huntington Beach. Bringing in a well is the test that makes the oil men sit up nights, makes them tear their hair, grit their teeth and say strange, uncouth words. Just because a steel-lined hole has been shoved down to where oil is, does not mean that that well is going to be brot in within a week, a month, six weeks, two months, or ever. Oil is not the only liquid found 2000 or 3000 feet below the town lots—there is water to be shut off. PRESIDENT PLANS RUSH FOR CONGRESS President Harding prints Congress to hasten the big work which is before it, in the extra session. He would like to have the major work of the sitting completed by July. He will urge to this end, according to Washington reports. Mr. Harding knows, by experience and observation, what Congress is capable of accomplishing in a given time. His several years' service in the Senate taught him this. But the work coming before the extra session is so tremendously important—so beyond comparison with legislative tasks of the past, in time of peace, that greater time probably will be required than President Harding, in his sanguine moods, believes is ample. At any rate, the President's influence will be exerted to speed up the great work. If it's from Witman's, it's good!

Calif. daily acquires information relating to the use, importance and abuse of motor vehicles in countries other than the U.S. and this information is available at club offices. For instance did you know that the use of sirens is prohibited in all large French cities? If you take your auto to France this year you are only allowed to carry two spare tires, with tubes or two wheels complete, free of duty. You can now take a rifle or shotgun into Mexico for hunting game if you get a special permit from a Mexican representative in your home town community and a second permit at the border. Motor travel into Mexico from this section of California during the spring season and coming summer will be heavier than ever before, according to inquiries. In regard to the condition of Mexican roads, they are said to be in fair condition, but they are not sign-posted and there are few facilities for securing gas or oil enroute. Auto racing in So. America is becoming as popular as bull fighting in Spain and at the annual auto races promoted by the Auto Club of Argentina recently there were 39 entries, the biggest event ever held in So. America. Of the 39 entries, 32 were cars made in America. The popularity of Canadian motorizing is growing. Bamff and Lake Louise will be the objective points for many tours and Vancouver will also have many So.

It is expected that a depth of 22 feet will be reached before the county's extension reaches the 200-foot length proposed, and in this case some rock can be spared to complete the jetty repair. Atty. Clyde Bishop is drawing up the necessary contracts and agreements so that the dumping of rock at the jetty may begin at the earliest possible date. Following the conference, the harbor commissioners and engineers inspected the jetty and the new river mouth, where the Santa Ana river following the rain, has been dumping many hundreds of tons of silt into the ocean, which except for the diversion work, would have gone into the bay.
