News of Fullerton Oakland Smashes Four Records Saturday Night "We always knew the Oakland could out-perform any car in its class, but to excel every existing record over this course conclusively proves the power, speed and endurance of the Sensible Six," said C. C. and G. R. Jones, of Fullerton, today in commenting on the remarkable feat just performed by the car for which they are agents over So. Calif. roads.

"A Small Town Idol" has comedy in abundance; it has thrills and action; it has love and romance; it is a radical departure from all previous Sennett production standards and newspaper critics hall it everywhere as his achievement supreme.

Amalgamated Oil Co.—The indications are that the next well that comes in will be well No. 2, on the south brow of Reservoir hill, where the rig was destroyed by a gas blowout last November, as casing is being set preparatory to placing it on production. This well is 2564 feet deep, and there are 243 feet of screen casing in the oil sands. The last ten feet of this hole is in sticky blue shale. This well will undoubtedly be gushing before next report. Well No. 1, north of the hill, will probably be spudded in today, and is being drilled by contract. After drilling ten feet below the casing in the well on the F. F. Fowler lease, it was found that the water had not been shut off and a test is being made to determine whether the ground will absorb any more cement or not. Petroleum Midway Co.—The well on the Warner lot, Columbia lease No. 1, is drilling at 2635. Drilling on iron is still in progress at the well on the Hottel lot, Columbia lease No. 3, with cable tools, and may continue for a week or more. Two joints of casing stuck in the hole and are being drilled out. These wells are both east of Reservoir hill. There is a fair showing of gas and a trace of oil at the well on the Vollmer-Meyer lease at 2950. The well on the Ray Walker community is cemented for the second time. Republic Petroleum Corp.—There is considerable gas in evidence at the well on the Kirk lease, south of the Holly sugar factory, and a slight trace of oil, at 3208 feet. Blue Shale Oil Mining Assn.—The well on the east side of the railroad tracks, on block 1501, Vista Del Mar tract, is about 2300 feet, and it is expected that 10-inch casing would be set Saturday, with Wigle & McBride doing the cementing, using the new patent automatic packer invented by Mr. Wigle. Good progress is being made at the well on the Hugh Grant lease, north-theast or the north, the hole being raised feet. The Petroleum Co.—The well at Main and Clay-sts, on the C. J. Porter community, is drilling at 2420. Peerless Petroleum Corp.—The boilers are being set on the Griffith Thompson lease at Utica and Hampshire. Texas Holding Co.—The well on the Huston-Obarr-Sceley lease,north-east of Reservoir hill, is reported as being 2185 feet. Wigle & McBride are drilling this well, and good progress has been recorded. MISSIONARY THANK OFFERING AT WHITE TEMPLE SUM $286 (Continued from Page One.) modern men and women as it was to the needs of the apostolic age. But it must re-interpreted for each generation. That is the first business of our churches. If this is not well done our faith languishes and our zeal cools. "Secondly, there is the problem of passing on the spiritual heritage to those who come after us. What would happen to society if all the six-year-old boys and girls were to go on a strike and refuse to do their work at school or anywhere else? In one generation we could go back to savagery. Of course, nothing like that will happen. But the very thought of it shows how important is the work of the school and the home and the church along this line. The curch is spending millions upon its Sunday schools and secondary schools and colleges for this purpose and it is now eagerly experimenting for a more thorou discipline than we have yet. That is the meaning of the many movements now on for week-day religious instruction. Thirdly, there is the problem due to our population and its shifting. Millions come to these shores every year. They must be Americanized and that includes the spiritual discipline of the churches. This brings before us the problem of the church in sparse populated sections, in the congested foreign quarters of our great cities, and problem of seasonal occupations.

Geissinger, Press At Sacramento Both houses of the legislature are now talking of the date of final adjournment. They have fixed tentatively April 29th as the formal date if they settle upon the 29th one or two things are evident—there will either be a slaughter of bills, or they will have to stop the clock on April 29th. There are about 2300 bills in the Senate and assembly, but few have been passed, and nearly all unimportant bills. The big bills have not yet been touched. Government economy and efficiency, reorganization and consolidation of state activities, and some others have been held in abeyance pending disposition of the budget hearings. These are about completed and the government economy and efficiency committee will meet Friday to take up its work. "Old Timers" look for an awful jam or slaughter of bills in adjournment is taken by April 29. There seems to be a desire on the part of the ways and means committee to grant no special appropriations that are not absolutely neces Republic Petroleum Corp.—There is considerable gas in evidence at the well on the Kirk lease, south of the Holly sugar factory, and a slight trace of oil, at 3208 feet. Blue Shale Oil Mining Assn.—The well on the east side of the railroad tracks, on block 1501, Vista Del Mar tract, is about 2300 feet, and it is expected that 10-inch casing would be set Saturday, with Wigle & McBride doing the cementing, using the new patent automatic packer invented by Mr. Wigle. Vista Del Mar Oil Co.—Well No. 1 on the Shoemaker community, at Hampshire and Indianapolis, stands cemented, a string of 8-inch having been successfully landed. Rigging is in progress at the well on the Henry R. Dabney lease, on the east side, and the hole will soon be spudded in. This land is owned by S. A. Moore, D. W. Huston, R. L. Obarr and W. D. Seely. Talbert Oil Co.—Work was started on the derrick on the lease on the west side of Main-st, south of Seventeenth-st. Mille-Keck Oil Co.—Well No. 1, Huntington Beach Co. lease, across from the high school, is being drilled again with cable tools. The hole was filled with sand to near the top of the screen casing and cemented. Well No. 2, a short distance south, is cemented at 2420. A string of 10-inch is being set 330 feet deeper than where casing was set in No. 1. Bolsa Chica Petroleum Corp.—Work is in progress on the derrick for the ri gto be constructed on the least cast of Reservoir hill. Guaranty Oil Co.—The derrick on the G. D. McKay lease, on Garfield, east of Main-st, has been completed. Westminster Oil Co.—The well on the J. H. Edwards lease, between Westminster and Smeltzer, is about 650 feet deep. Bolsa Chica Oil Co.—Splendid progress has been made since last report at the well at Nineteenth and Wesley, and the spud-in ceremony will likely take place Monday or Tuesday. This rig is one of the best in the field, everything about the promises being new and of the latest and most approved type. The company owns the equipment, and will do the drilling under the supervision of L. D. Hilton, an experienced operator. So far as known, this is the first stock company in this field to do the actual drilling, except by contract. Union Oil Co.—Drilling is still in progress on the W. T. Newland lease, and the hole will soon be a mile deep, as it is now close to 5000 feet, with unknown prospects. It is probable that had any of the smaller companies held this lease, they would have thrown up the sponge long ago. Well No. 1 on the Copeland community is still cemented. Edens' Syndicate—It is expected that the well on the east side of Main-st will be spudded in Wednesday or Thursday, and will be drilled for a more thoroid discipline than we have yet. That is the meaning of the many movements now on for week-day religious instruction. "Thirdly, there is the problem due to our population and its shifting. Millions come to these shores every year. They must be Americanized and that includes the spiritual discipline of the churches. This brings before us the problem of the church in sparply populated sections, in the congested foreign quarters of our great cities, and problem of seasonal occupations." "This last year our church has spent $9,000,000 upon these latter enterprises, and our Methodist women have spent two million and a quarter. "The women of our various local churches are organized in auxiliaries and these into conferences and the conferences into national movement. Thus the women are apprised of the facts in our national life calling for their attention and they are enabled by dues and free will offerings to raise their funds. Then they have their field work organized under homes, industrial schools, social settlements and various types of teaching and preaching work. They reach from Porto Reico to Alaska in their influences. They meet the travellers in need of help at the railway stations of America. They greet the incoming millions at our ports of entry. They teach the foreigners in our mining districts. They work among the mountain whites and the negroes of the south. They have schools for the Slaws and Flins and Mexicans." "I am glad that this church is reparented thrus its women with this beautiful American work and I ask you to make your offering for this cause this morning." If It's from Witman's, It's Good!

This bridge is on the coast trunk line highway into the north leading up into Oregon, and is on the main coast artery of travel between the Mexican line and southern Oregon. High water the past few months has destroyed the ferry system and now there is no means of transportation between the north and south on the coast Northern actual drilling, except by contract. Union Oil Co.—Drilling is still in progress on the W.T. Newland lease, and the hole will soon be a mile deep, as it is now close to 5000 feet, with unknown prospects.

Edens' Syndicate.—It is expected that the well on the east side of Main-st will be spudded in Wednesday or Thursday, and will be drilled by the Orange County Drilling Co. Huntington Central Oil Co.—Both of the wells are standing cemented Thursday morning. The 6-inch drill pipe at No. 1, on Main-st, has been broken down, and the cement will be drilled out with four-inch pipe. It is reported that this company will drill a well in the Long Beach field and at Richfield, under different names. Two wells were drilled here in record time. National Exploration Co.—The well on the Newland-Borchard lease, east of the city limits, has been showing up very satisfactorily the past week, the tar sands having been located at 1975 feet, and the drill is going at 2050. Manager Smith stated that casin gwould probably be set soon. The work is being carefully done, pilot-bits being used to test out the strata before drilling down with the larger bit. Pantages Huntington Oil Co.—The well on the Chapin-Shank lease, on Main-st, is reported as being 1700 feet in depth. General Pettroleum Lease.—The big lease on the east side, taken by the General Petroleum Corp., some time ago, has been closed, and the bonus money is being paid to lot owners by City Clerk Chas. R. Nutt. There are 235 lots in the lease, about 30 acres. Texcal Oil & Refining Co.—Misfortune has befallen the well on the Burks lease, north of Reservoir hill, again, and the derrick may be moved once more and a new hole drilled, on account of the loss of a string of tools in the hole. The string is about 2.700 feet, and only about 1700 have been recovered. However, the move may be avoided by sidetracking, although it appears rather doubtful at this time.

Means to be a desire on the ways and means commitno special appropriation not absolutely neces- California is practically a unit for the construction of a bridge and is earnestly requesting action on the part of the ways and means committee. Other highways and necessary measures for the development of the state are urgent. In this emergency it is possible that such bills as the home for delinquent women and other bills for the uplift of humanity may go into the discard until such time as the present money crisis is alleviated. In fact, one cannot help but notice a desire to aid law abiding and hardworking citizens in securing facilities for their activities. One cannot help but notice also, in the past week there is somewhat of a change from the old custom of tabling bills in committee. In the past few days there seems to be a disposition on the part of the committees to pass bills on which there is any serious contest to the floor of either house for vote, instead, in former times, of the committee taking the responsibility. There are practically today 200 bills on the daily file of the assembly on each one of which will have to be de-bats and roll call, and mind you, there only 2 days left of the session, and the heaviest work is all ahead. The amendments to the workingmen's compensation bills, 6 of them, all tending to loosen the tight screws on employers, came up in the assembly yesterday afternoon for hearing. The most of these were adopted by the assembly, but reconsideration was promptly moved by the appoinents of the bill, and they must needs come up again. Several bills affecting conditional sales of merchandise, commonly known as installment bills, requiring that such installment bills be filed for record with the county recorder, will come up for hearing in the senate tonight. Several such bills are also before the assembly judicial committee. They practically cover everything from a cook stove to a thrashing machine. Merchants and their credit associations are not asking for the bills, and the man buying anything from household goods to far mime implements or an automobile is not seeking a public record. One wonders why they were introduced.
