CURE THE COLORADO FOR USE-FULNESS Proposed scientific control of the Colorado River, with attendant development of hydroelectric power and irrigation facilities, is receiving earnest attention in the seven states which lie in part in the Colorado Basin, namely: California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. Of interest as a preliminary movement in this great project is the constitutional amendment proposed before the legislature by Assemblyman Merriam, of Long Beach. This would put the whole state — but particularly Southern California — in position to utilize the power and irrigation possibilities of the Colorado River project. Affirmative action by congress initiating this vast development may be expected at an early date. It is believed that President Harding and his cabinet will be strongly favorable to flood control, power development and irrigation expansion such as this Colorado River scheme offers. The value of an enterprise like this far exceeds the estimated cost in truth. It would be of cumulative value becoming more and more valuable and sensible as time goes on. Congress, it is to be hoped, will appreciate the value of the big projected work and give it a substantial start by suitable legislation. The Village Gossip While so many have been doing for her, Bebe Daniels has tried to reciprocate by doing someone. While Miss Daniels is having only a taste of being shut in, Mrs. John Doerr, 1135 West Third street, has been sentenced for life to her wheel chair. While Miss Daniels has been "reigning" at the county jail, Mrs. Doerr has been amusing herself by imagining she is the motion picture player Yesterday Mrs. Doerr phoned to Mrs. Lacy at the jail and asked if there would be any chance to talk confession: the Giants' opening of the polo grounds; the discovery that Long Island Sound was already warm enough to go swimming in; the regular grist of "mysterious" disappearances; and finally, the startling act of local prohibition laws and local enforcement. The most upsetting factor of this was the clause which makes the man who takes the drink as liable as the one who sells it. New York is fairly reeling from the blow of that. And it's a small time, indeed, that is left for attention to less personal matters in the world at large. When New Yorkers go "back home" to visit, and when its visitors go back home, it is the Metropolitan Museum, and other temples of art and its sisters that they talk about to the neighbors and the neighbors. And several thousand big and little fish chuckle to themselves when they hear the echoes. For regardless of conversation, the place that gets the crowds is the Aquarium. It has more visitors than any other museum in New York—and they stay longer. Two millions gazed at its tanks last year. The official Aquarium boat, "The Sea Horse," starts in a few days now, collecting more fish off Sandy Hook for the delight of the millions. Mine, Olga Petrova, dramatic vaudeville and screen star, is coming back to straight drama. She has just signed a contract to appear in a brand new play, by a new author, and according to him, a new plot. The detail, however, is passed without certification. The play is to open in New York early in September, to the satisfaction of a large number of people, who have always insisted that Petrova was the real actress of the Russians we have had with us. The Bahain movement, the religious cult founded by Abdul-Kaha, has been making inroads upon New York for five or six years and every once in a while takes to itself a convert of considerable importance.

While Miss Daniels has been "reigning" at the county jail, Mrs. Doerr has been amusing herself by imagining she is the motion picture player. Yesterday Mrs. Doerr phoned to Mrs. Lacy at the jail and asked if there would be any chance to talk to Miss Daniels. Needless to say Miss Daniels was only too glad to help a shut-in and not only said "hello" and "goodbye," but talked chumily to Mrs. Doerr for several minutes. Both have been gladdened by the incident and neither will forget it nor each other. New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, April 22—New York City is sometimes accused of not giving enough thought and appreciation to outside problems—national and international. Maybe it's true; but we wish her critics would consider her situation. In one week there was, here within her own boundaries; first page developments in the super sensational divorce cases of the year; the re-stepping into the limelight of the Elwell case through an alleged contract to appear in a brand new play, by a new author, and according to him, a new plot. The detail, however, is passed without certification. The play is to open in New York early in September, to the satisfaction of a large number of people, who have always insisted that Petrova was the real actress of the Russians we have had with us. The Bahain movement, the religious cult founded by Abdul-Kahna, has been making inroads upon New York for five or six years and every once in a while takes to itself a convert of considerable prominence. The latest of these is Dr. Florian Krug, one of the city's celebrated surgeons, who has announced that he and Mrs. Krug will leave for Haita. Palestine, in the fall, where he will devote himself to the religion. He intends to retire permanently from the medical profession, he says. "The House of Poets" will be founded here within a week or so, a national institution to serve as a clearing house for American poets. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, Zona Gale, Ida Tarbell, and other well-known writers are on the committee in charge of organization. When we have no old buildings to honor, however, we honor their sites. The Maiden Lane Historical Society has just placed a bronze tablet on the building on John Street, a few doors from Broadway, where the first theatre in New York was built in 1750. The tablet will also mark the 154th anniversary of the production of the first play by an American author ever given in a regular theatre by a regular com­ To The Citr The American Fruit Growers Inc. of California is the West division of the A.

The American Fruit Growers Inc. of California is the Western division of the A. F. G. main office, Pittsburg. The national organization has an estimated yearly shipment of 30,000 cars, partly on the company's own property, the balance handled for growers. The Citrus Department is a distinct unit of the California Division, under the supervision of the President and General Manager with its own sales manager and field force. We are represented in the larger cities by our own salaried ployees, and by brokerage representatives, covering every car market in the U. S. and Canada. Our great tonnage has attracted to our sales organization the most efficient and experienced workers in the business. We have our own jobbing houses in Chicago, Pittsburg, St. Louis and New York.

The Blue Goose label is used in California, in all high quality districts, under the strict grading supervision of our field managers. By starting with Tulare County's finest foothill navels ARTHUR H. T. OSBORNE, District Agent, FULLERTON THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA News of Oil Fields On getting a good and very satisfactory showing of oil at 3178 feet the Placentia Pacific Oil Co. stopped drilling and set pipe. The ten inch string set at this depth will probably take care of all the water troubles. The Placentia Oil Co. is running a new string of drill pipe in the hole and will be in a position to side-track the lost bit and do ahead now without any further difficulty. At 2850 feet where the recent fishing job held up the drilling a very good showing of oil was reported and the oil sand was drilled into for about five feet. At the present time the Placentia Oil Company's well looks very encouraging. Not satisfied with the way Bradford No. 1 is performing the petroleum development Co. will deepen the well. Put on the beam and averaging about 275 bbls a day, the well dropped quickly and got to as low as 65 barrels. The well will be carried deeper from about 4100 ft. Bradford No. 3 at 4075 is beginning to show oil in quantity. No. 4 is drilling in open hole at 2560. Bradford No. 5 is drilling in shale at 3890, and Bradford Community is standing cemented at 4342. Drilling on Richfield No. 1 is at 2250 in the hard conglomerate. Success had crowned the efforts of the Petroleum Midway in the development of the Yarnell property. In a little less than two months the production has been increased from a few hundred to 4000 barrels. On the Krug lease new work is being rushed. Krug No. 1 is drilling at 2761. No. 2 shows 1500 feet in the shape. No. 3 is spudded in and close to 500 feet deep. No. 4 is a new well building rig. No. 5 has the lumber on the ground, and No. 6 has been located. Isaacs No. 2 is also a new location. Richfield Yorba No. 1 is testing a water shut off at 3040. The Richfield Southern, better known as the offset company, has commenced operations. Well No. 1 is to be drilled on the Richfield Yorba original lease, where lumber is going on the ground for the rig. The now drilling ahead at 2924 in the brown shale. With more than a hundred feet of oil sand drilled thru the Selby-Root-Hogue Oil Co.'s Wardman-Claxton No. 1 is being brought in at 3145 feet. From all indications this well should not do less than 350 barrels. The hole was finished in good shape, and with a hundred feet of sand to produce from it should make a good well. Wonderful success continues to mark the progress of the Standard Oil Co.'s deep-drilling on the Kraemer lease. The latest addition to the production was Kraemer No. 2-9, a new well starting off at 1500 bbls. The new well represents the deepest hole drilled thus far, 4416 feet. On the Kraemer No. 1 property three wells. Nos. 10, 12 and 13, are standing cemented. Two of the Standard's test wells are now past 4725 feet. Nejar No. 1 is drilling at 4725 in brown sandy shale, and Loftus-O (Bryan No. 1) at 47109 is drilling in sandy brown shale. The Union Oil Co. is doing a lot of deep development work on the Chapman lease. Chapman No. 2 is now drilling in oil sand at 4002 feet. No. 5 is in the oil sand at 4065 feet. No. 7 at 4200 is showing lots of nice sand. New work on the Chapman has become a recent factor on the property, and includes the lumber on the ground for Nos. 14, 16 and 17. On the Thompson-Goodwin property No. 2 is beginning to look good at 3245 feet. Morse No. 5 will soon be ready to go on production as the pipe was set at 2890 and the bottom of the hole is in oil said at 3125. The Keck Drilling Co.succeeded in getting out of the fishing job on the Wonder Oil Co.'s No. 1. A string of 8 inch pipe was set at 3965, and now the drilling is going ahead at 3985 where the showings are quite good. The Wonder Oil Co.seems assured of a well.

FARMERS ARE UNDISSMAYED After seeing published a lot of unreliable statistics, compiled by white collared "farm experts" who never plowed an acre of land in their lives that the cost of producing a bushel of wheat was all the way from $1.50 to $2.00, the predismayed farmers are sowing a more than average acreage of wheat in the fact of dollar a bushel prices. In many wheat states the best wheat is hard to market at a dollar but the wage agitator keeps howling that the cost of living is not coming down. Eggs are lower than for 12 years and so is all the farmer has to sell. With high spirits and patriotism, the farmers are not going to quit growing crops and feeding us all. YOSEMITE OPENING EARLY Roads and trails in the Yosemite are opening up so fast that many flat trips to the Big Trees and other beauty spots are available to visitors earlier than ever before. Lightful tours of the park can now be made over a granite highway as smooth as a boulevard. Reports of rough roads outside the park should not confuse the visitor as to Yosemite roads, which are in excellent condition. For those whose outing time is limited to one day special schedules have been arranged to permit them to see the Big Trees the afternoon of their arrival, both the Mariposa and Merced groves being accessible now. Two cans Table Apricots, 35c. Edmiston's Grocery. Krug lease new work is being rushed. Krug No. 1 is drilling at 2761. No. 2 shows 1500 feet in the shade. No. 3 is spudded in and close to 500 feet deep. No. 4 is a new well building rig. No. 5 has the lumber on the ground, and No. 6 has been located. Isaacs No. 2 is also a new location. Richfield Yorba No. 1 is testing a water shut off at 3040. The Richfield Southern, better known as the offset company, has commenced operations. Well No. 1 is to be drilled on the Richfield Yorba original lease, where lumber is going on the ground for the rig. The Richfield Southern, headed by Samuel Kraemer, now the richest oil man in Southern California, has acquired about 300 acres. No property is to be drilled on until other companies operating along property lines bring in a commercial producer. At 31550 feet the Richfield Giant got away from the clay and gravel formation and struck some real good looking brown shale. At times the showings look very promising. These showings man mean that it will not be necessary to go to 4000 or 4290 as originally planned. The Richfield United Oil Co. has set a string of 8 inch pipe at 3200 feet. Some very nice showings were reported at the time the cementing was made. On getting a very satisfactory oil showing at 3200 feet, the Richfield Union Petroleum ceased drilling and set pipe. This well will probably be the Richfield district's next producer. The Ridge Oil Co. on a second cementing succeeded in getting a complete shut off on the water and is PUPILS MAY TALK ANYWHERE IN U.S. There are a boy and girl in the high schools of Orange county who, some time in May, will have a chance to talk on long distance to any point in the United States they may select. Who these lucky ones are will not be determined until the judges declare the winners of an essay writing contest now being organized in the county's high schools by E. S. Morrow, district manager of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. Any student in any of the high schools is eligible to compete. The essays will be based upon the observations of students upon visiting any of the company's telephone exchanges in the county. Morrow was in Anaheim yesterday addressing pupils in the high school, acquainting them with the wide scope of a modern telephone system. He is outlining to the students the essay writing plan, and giving information as to the long distance telephone conversation offered as a prize. Two Ibs. Brisq. (1-2-lb. Free) 48c.

With a good field glass it was possible to observe the many stars closely adjacent to the moon which remain invisible at any other time because of the moon's radiance. At 11 o'clock last night the city street lights were turned on, although they were supposed to be on moonlight schedule, because of the darkness occasioned by the eclipse. Dr. G. S.

This ring is a war time invention which has made good in three years of hard and unusual service, and is now being placed on the market in all sizes. Its construction is unique and is an achievement in mechanics long thought impossible. The inner lining ring is of steel formed by a machine developed in California which is capable of making a steel channel of remarkable accuracy at a speed beyond the possibility of any known process. Owing to the difficulty of getting delivery on these rings we will for the next month confine our efforts to getting samples in the hands of dealers and garage owners, after which we expect to be able to supply the trade.
