MERIT SYSTEM NEEDED IN FEDERAL SERVICE
There are cogent reasons why the merit system should prevail in filling federal government positions. Take, for example, Presidential appointments. There are tens of thousands of places to be filled by appointment of the chief magistrate. These positions have vital relation to indispensable governmental functionings, such as the postal service, internal revenue, department of justice, and son on. Good, capable men should be appointed to these places. But manifestly it is utterly impossible for the President to have personal knowledge of the qualifications of even a small fraction of applicants for these posts. Reliance is usually placed in members of Congress or political leaders of the several states to recommend suitable persons for these appointments. But this method oftentimes is abused, and appointments turn out to be dismal failures, because the appointees are not fitted, as their names were recommended for partisan reasons only.
The President should be relieved of this great strain. The public service would be bettered by placing virtually all federal offices on the merit basis. There is no valid objection to this. There are many considerations that commend it highly to favorable consideration.
COWBOY RIDES ROCKINGBORSE
Jim Taylor of Utah, Idaho and points west, is a cattleman from the 2-inch heels of his boots to the sugar loaf crown of his Stetson which rises who had crossed a dozen times. The Englishman suggested there was ample room for brisk walks along the spotless decks. His suggestion was received with a look of scorn and loathing and he was given the information that what Jim meant by exercise was exercise in the saddle. Without a word the Englishman led him to the ship's gymnasium and pointed to a contrivance bearing a saddle.
"That machine," he said, "will duplicate any motion you can possibly get while riding a horse. All you have to do is to get on and press one of these buttons."
"Whoopee," yelled Jim. "Gear her high for I sure aims to ride wide and handsome." He surged into the saddle and the Englishman fled.
A half hour later the Britsher again found Jim leaning disconsolately on the rail.
"Did you have a good ride?" he asked.
"Naw," replied the Westerner. "I rode that machine on everything from a fox trot to a gallop but I didn't arrive nowhere."
Failure to save a regular portion of what they earned and invest it safely in sound securities has placed thousands of people on the riding machine. They get all the bumps, all the jars, all the chaffing and soreness they can acquire in covering a financial life road, but they never arrive anywhere. If you are working for exercise, you can afford to spend all you make. If you are working to arrive somewhere, put a certain part of your pay every week in Government Savings Stamps and Treasury Certificates.

COWBOY RIDES ROCKINGHORSE
Jim Taylor of Utah, Idaho and points west, is a cattleman from the 2-inch heels of his boots to the sugar loaf crown of his Stetson which rises four or five inches above his perspiring brow. When he wants to go anywhere he rides. Walking he regards as an insult to tender feet and expensive boots. Recently he sailed for England to dispose of a shipment of polo ponies.
He booked passage on one of the palatial Atlantic liners but once on board he was thoroughly unhappy. No, he wasn't sea sick. Cow camp grub and pitching ponies had given him a stomach nothing could disturb.
"What I need is exercise," he moaned to an English acquaintance

U.S. FRIENDLY TOWARD LATIN AMERICA
"To promote by co-operation the common interests of all," is the policy of President Harding in dealing with Latin America. Secretary of State Hughes was the spokesman of the new administration's attitude toward the southern republics. "We wish to help to a common prosperity" Mr. Hughes told a group or representatives of Latin-American republics who went to Washington to attend the Presidential inauguration. The furtherance of this common prosperity, Mr. Hughes pointed out, would be attained "through the safeguarding of the opportunities of peace, the fostering friendship and of mutually advantageous commercial intercourse."
Mr. Hughes gave assurance that "no narrow view of self-interest" will have part in this policy of cooperation; "we have and will have no anterior purposes with respect to any of the republics of Latin America; we are looking forward with the utmost confidence to an era of exceptional mutual benefits through our working together in a spirit of trust."
This kind of policy toward these neighboring republics does credit to the brain and purpose of the government and people of the United States. It is the attitude and the method of dealing which, ultimately, must command the friendship and confidence of Latin America, because the good will and the honest intent of the United States are written all over this policy.
THE FEDERAL office should look for the man, not the man for the office.
ONE CAN be just as good a patriot in private life as in public position.
THE CHRONIC job-hunter should find the air of official Washington quite chilly.
POSTAL SERVICE should be on a business basis, as efficient as it can be made. The mails should be absolutely divorced from politics.
HERBERT C. Hoover's masterly organizing abilities soon should transform the Department of Commerce into a beneficially serviceable governmental agency.
LIBERTY BONDS should be brot to par by the government and should be kept at par by whatever legislative or administrative bolstering may be necessary to effect this.
CALIFORNIANS HAVE every reason to be optimistic. Economic conditions in this state are not now, and at no time have been, so dark as in other sections of the country. There is no likelihood of worse times here.

UNION'S NEWLAND IS 4850 FT. DEEP
(Huntington Beach Field.)
The well on the W. T. Newland lease is now about 4850 feet deep, and is therefore among the deep holes in the state or elsewhere. There have been some slight showing of oil found since last report, but not enough to insure the success of this deep well.
If this well is developed into a success, Supt. K. A. Hoxey will surely come under the wire with flying colors, as he has been remarkably successful, making almost as good progress as some of the other wells in the field one-half as deep. Consequently the low cost of this well will likely be a record-breaker, depth considered.
There are reasons to believe that when oil is found in this well it will be of a high gravity, and that the sands will not be so extensive as are those in the shallower wells, but the high grade of the oil will make these deep wells valuable. Oil of 35 gravity is worth at the well today $2.95; consequently if this well produces 100 barrels daily of such oil, it will be of great value, notwithstanding the great depth to which it has been drilled.
The well on the Copeland community, being drilled on tract 80, is 2920 feet deep, and 10-inch casing was being set Thursday morning for cementing. A good showing of oil was found, and there is no doubt of a big producer being developed.
Pantaguer-Huntington Oil Co.-The well on the Chapin-Shank lease, west side of Main-street, north of Thirteenth-st, was spudded in Friday.
The Petroleum Midway Co.-Work was started Wednesday to getting the drill pipe ready for drilling out the cement in No. 1. Ray Walker lease, Park and Springfield-st, and by next report it will be known if the water shut-off was successful.
There has been no progress at the well cast of Reservoir hill, Hottel tract, Columbia lease No. 3, since last report. Thursday morning cable tools were being used to loosen two joints of casing that were stuck in the bottom of the role.
Well No. 1. Vollmer-Meyer lease, tracts $1 and $2, was drilling Thurra-release, Bolga Chica messa, at 4150 feet under the presidential functioning for their solution.
THE AMERICAN FLAG over a great naval fleet in the Pacific has no terrors for any friendly nation. The world knows that the United States is not a bullying, aggressive power. It picks no quarrels, it has no grudges to sate. It is not out for vengeance in any direction. It desires nothing more ardently than to live in peace and friendship with all the world.

Hearings are being continued in both houses on the proposition of the opponents of the King revenue bill to cut $8,000,000 of the estimated budget appropriation. "Show me," said the members who voted for the King bill, which the opponents of the bill are now endeavoring to do. Max Thelen, formerly of the railroad commission, has finished in the senate, and is now endeavoring to show the assembly where, and how, $8,000,000 can be trimmed from the budget without impairing the state's efficiency. In the senate he is now being followed by Clyde Seavey of the state board of control, who is endeavoring to demonstrate that the budget cannot be reduced to anything approximating Thelon's estimate without greatly impairing the state service.
Practically everything except unimportant, bills are being held back until the final disposal of the budget question.

Huntington Central Oil Co.-The oil sands were struck in the well being drilled on the George Gothard Jr. community at Main and Wesley, designated at well No. 1 at 2258 feet, 271 feet below where the hole was cemented.
The well on the Heaston lease, on the east side of Huntington-ave, north of Clay-st. was 2855 feet. Thursday morning. There have been some very good indications of oil in this well, although not sufficient to warrant setting casing.
Those in charge of this company must be given credit for action, as they have made the dust fly since well No. 1 was spudded in, and are the only stock company to have two wells drilling in this field. The Orange County Drilling Co. is doing the drilling, which accounts for the rapid work. There has been a constant shower of dimes falling on the office of this company since the stock was first placed on the market, and the wells are being drilled by the public at ten cents a throw.

The bill of Assemblyman Van Bernard, No. 1278, divorcing the agricultural department from the state university, is now in and destined to create considerable discussion providing, as it does, a strictly state agricultural college. It provides that pupils shall receive practical instruction in agriculture, horticulture, viticulture and animal industries, dairying, irrigation, poultry raising and all agricultural subjects and for experimentation and investigation. The bill further provides that all books, papers, offices, equipment, supplies, moneys, funds appropriations, land and other property, real or personal, now held by regents of the U. of C. for the maintenance of the university farm and agricultural school at Davis shall be transferred to the state to be held in possession of directors and administrated on behalf of the state.
Assembly bill 1281 by Coombs of Napa, amending the act of 1913 providing for the incorporation and organization of county water districts will also cause a number of corporations to "sit up" and take notice. Section 20 of the act of 1913 provides that directors in furnishing water fix such rates, etc. The amendment provides wiresectors in the furnishing of water "or power, light, heat and electrical energy may" fix such rates as will pay. It has been referred to the committee on irrigation.
Mrs. Saylor of Alameda has introduced a bill providing that the death penalty shall not be imposed or inflicted upon any person for murder committed before such person shall have reached 21.
Reapportionment of the state in conformity with the constitution has not yet been touched and it is extremely doubtful if it will be except in a special session. Some who have tentatively figured over some of the bills introduced claim that the redistricting of the state as proposed will give Los Angeles, San Francisco and Alameda-cos a majority of the assembly of which many of the interior counties do not approve.

November.
The gas is still being wasted, and
is roaring out thru a three-inch pipe. One gas trap was placed southeast
of this well some time ago, but is not sufficient to care for the output
of this big well, and another is beling installed below the bluff, on the northwest.
The well is now producing about
1500 barrels of oil daily, and this is flowing thru a flow plug only five-eighths of an inch in diameter at the outlet. The oil is nice and clean and is above 26 gravity, worth at the well $2 per barrel, making the daily flow worth $3000, or $90,000 per month, and $1,005,000 a year.
However, there is but little doubt
but what this well will produce considerably more oil than this the first year, as it may be given more of an opportunity later on than at present, and then it may not. One-sixth royalty of this production equals $500 per day, of $12.50 per day for each of the 40 men composing the membership of the Bolsa Chica Gun club, owners of the land, most of whom are said to be millionaires.
The Surf well, east of the city,
has been cemented again, and the Jones community well is also cemented. A-5 is also cemented, and A-3 has not recovered from the cementing stage, altho it has been almost three months since it was put out of commission by waterlits.
Bolsa No. 3 has not passed a water test, but A-7 has been given a clearance, and the well is being drilled in with rotary tools.
D-1, at Mansion and Twenty-third, is drilling at about 1600 feet. A-8 stands cemented.
B-2, at Thirty-eighth and Palm, if extended, is about 1550 feet deep.
C-1, an offset to Bolsa No. 3, is about 1200 feet deep, and Bolsa No. 2 is about 1900 feet, and will probably set casing before next report.
A-9, southwest of Reservoir Hill, will likely be spudded in today or tomorrow. There is nothing new to report on B-3 and E-1. The Torrance well is going very satisfactorily at about 3000 feet.
